Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

When it came to immortal wills—those special forces that scattered across the river of time and refused to dissipate even after tens of thousands of years—the Death Millstone and Soul Judgment techniques were generally effective in suppressing them. Yet for the sake of caution, Chen Chu still chose exile.

Boom!

The entire spacetime trembled, and the power of the void surged outward, transforming the underground world into pitch-black nothingness that stripped everyone of their senses and perception. In the darkness, a massive golden-black vertical pupil slowly emerged. Wherever its gaze passed, layer upon layer of space shattered.

Boom!

Before the colossal phantom that distorted space-time upon its arrival, an infinitely deep violet rift tore open, unleashing a suction force that enveloped the phantom.

A furious and dreadful roar pierced through spacetime, shaking the hearts and minds of all who heard it. This ancient will, awakened by the repair process of Mech No.1's heart, was immensely powerful, nearly three times stronger than the remnant sealed by Luo Fei within the Primordial Azure Sky. An overwhelming force erupted from the ancient phantom, radiating dark-golden light in pulsating waves that exploded outward.

Boom!

The entire spacetime folded and twisted beneath the dark-golden ripples, forming storms that surged in layers in an attempt to destroy the dimensional rift. The might was vast, enough to shake the fabric of time itself.

Yet the violet rift, stretching across over a hundred thousand meters, stood firm amid the storm. It was as if the rift itself didn't exist in essence or foundation, remaining utterly unmoved while continuing to emit a horrifying devouring force that drew the ancient phantom toward it.

Bathed in violet light, the ancient phantom, nothing more than a fragment of soul and will, was gradually dragged into the rift, leaving behind only a furious roar echoing through the void.

As Chen Chu condensed the True Demon God Form, the Void Death Pupils, his divine-transformation innate ability, grew exponentially in power. Combined with the enhancements from having slain countless void monsters and the sixteenfold boost from the void principle on the Void Continent, the might of his pupils had reached a peak. Even that eternal soul will was banished by a single blow that exhausted all of his void power.

In addition, this dimension was neither part of the current universe nor the depths of the mythical world. It belonged to an entirely different spacetime. This technique, which once seemed rather impractical, had finally begun to demonstrate its true worth as Chen Chu's strength advanced. It could now banish entities that could not yet be destroyed, sealing them permanently within the depths of another dimension.

Once the ancient phantom vanished, the distorted spacetime anomaly that had bridged two realms also faded with the receding darkness. Everyone gradually regained their senses. By that point, at the center of the scorched earth where black lava pillars had cooled, No.1 had grown to a towering height of over four thousand meters.

The black-and-red armor that bound its form had been largely burst open. Its figure stood upright and imposing, fierce and humanoid, though clearly not human. A single horn jutted from its head, angled toward the azure heavens, as blood-colored mist coiled around it.

Yet beneath the ruptured armor, No.1's exposed skin was no longer dark golden. It had turned golden-white, resembling human flesh. At some unknown point, a massive golden-white dual-bladed spear had appeared in its hand. It spanned more than four thousand meters, with sharp blades at both ends and a grip in the center.

Mysterious markings coiled around the spear, emanating a faint but unmistakable aura of death, a promise of certain annihilation.

Staring at the towering mech standing at the heart of the land, clad in its terrifying black and red armor like a valkyrie from a nightmare, Luo Wuming's voice trembled. "D-Did it succeed?"

Beside him, Chen Chu, his long black hair flowing past his shoulders, gave a small nod. "It should have."

As he spoke, the golden-black vertical pupils within his eyes slowly faded, taking with it the majesty it carried.

Luo Fei's breakthrough to the mythical level, and her preliminary fusion with No.1, had faced its greatest threat from the returning immortal will. Even a single trace of will from such beings contained unimaginable amounts of information, including the being's past insights, memories, or even corrupting forces gathered across their travels through spacetime.

If exposed, Luo Fei's mind and spirit would have been instantly contaminated. Her soul and body would have been assimilated into that ancient existence.

"So powerful... Is this his true strength?" came a shocked murmur from behind Chen Chu. The speaker was the two-hundred-meter-tall mech.

Compared to the researchers and Luo Wuming, who had been rendered completely blind and senseless under the void, Tariff had come closest to experiencing the illusion of death firsthand. Just the residual shockwaves of the power that had filled the void had nearly shattered his divine soul.

Too terrifying. No wonder this is someone who can even slay demon gods.Tariff's heart trembled in awe.

***

While Chen Chu stood guard for Luo Fei, ensuring her complete breakthrough...

Far away, in the Chaotic Region of the mythical world, a colossal beast over 11,500 meters long stood tall, like a vast undulating mountain range of golden-black flesh, gazing forward.

There, space had collapsed and the earth had caved in, forming a rift storm zone stretching tens of thousands of kilometers, riddled with spatial fissures.

Beyond this rift lay a world brimming with life. Mountains stretched endlessly, white mist filled the air, and deep within forests of towering ancient trees, the shadows of massive creatures could be faintly seen darting past.

Beside the Destructive Dragon Emperor, a colossal dragon even larger in size—an ancient magma dragon with nine heads—let out a thunderous roar.Great king, this should be the edge of the Chaotic Region, yes?

The Dragon Emperor gave a slight nod. As its massive head moved, it stirred up shockwaves like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami crashing. A deep, rumbling growl followed, shaking heaven and earth.Yes, we've reached the border of the Chaotic Region. Let's go. It's time to return.

The Dragon Emperor slowly turned. Every heavy step shattered the space beneath its feet, sending out shockwaves that swept across hundreds of kilometers like nuclear blasts.

By this point, the Chaotic Region had been nearly completely swept clean. This land, vast enough to be hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the Blue Planet, was all under the rule of the Dragon Palace. Any mythical-level and above lifeforms were either subdued or suppressed and killed. This included some alien civilizations as well.

Along the way, the Dragon Emperor had devoured many resources. Its body had grown another few hundred meters compared to its previous size after consuming the World Star Core, though this growth seemed insignificant compared to its current enormous form.

Meanwhile, on the Dragon Emperor's back, after a few days had passed, the Silver Colossal Dragon and Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon had each grown more than three hundred meters in length without even noticing. Their forms had also begun to shift, and their presence had become increasingly powerful. Materialized storms of destructive ice crystals swirled around them, while multi-colored elemental energy boomed and surged.

At the same time, several hundred thousand kilometers away, a massive black-gray beast over sixty thousand meters long stood beneath the sky. Twin wings spread wide, and gray currents flowed around it, destroying everything in its vicinity.

On the ground a thousand kilometers below the Ancient Ray-Beast, mountain ranges tens of thousands of kilometers long had collapsed. The land was littered with the corpses of centaur-like beasts, their blood flooding the terrain in red.

Three ray-beasts, each around twenty thousand meters long, were engaged in a fierce battle with a madly roaring titan. Each one was surrounded by a law domain. Every time they clashed with the titan, earth-shaking booms and blinding bursts of energy erupted.

Just then, within the gap beneath the scales on the neck of one of the ray-beasts, a jade token several meters wide began to tremble slightly.

Woooo!

The Ancient Ray-Beast let out a siren-like call.Koerdo, finish off this defiant one in two moves. Thunder Fiery has already reached the edge of the Chaotic Region and is summoning us back to the Dragon Palace.

Yes, great king!the three ray-beasts below roared. Even greater power exploded from within and unleashed roaring waves of gray currents that surged directly at the titan beast, ignoring all of its attacks.

Elsewhere, the ground trembled as a black mountain over thirty thousand meters long and twenty thousand meters high shook violently. A fierce, qilin-shaped head rose up and roared.Kutaydora, Bordis, it's time to return.

In the distance, a black qilin beast measuring over 1,400 meters in length and two titan ray-beasts let out long, melodic howls in response.

As the Dragon Emperor's command spread, all of the ancient titans received the call to return. They let out roars and began summoning their followers to make their way back.
