Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 480: Millions of Contribution Points, Instructions Before Departure (I)

Chapter 480: Millions of Contribution Points, Instructions Before Departure (I)

What a special feeling.

As Chen Chu descended slowly from several thousand meters above the ground, he felt at ease, as if he was born knowing how to fly.

This sensation of completeness was one of the hallmarks of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, and came from the gathering of a cultivator's qi, essence and spirit.

When breaking through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, the resonance between heaven and earth granted the cultivator the True Martial Phantom, a reflection of the spirit of the world. It was actually a form of innate connection with the universe.

Given by heaven and earth, this innate resonance allowed cultivators to harness multiple times the transcendent energy, vastly amplifying their cultivation.

As the cultivator advanced to the Eighth Heavenly Realm, their body naturally fused with the True Martial Phantom, granting them the unique traits of an innate spirit.

Watching Chen Chu descend from the sky and land not far from him, Ji Wuji, a tall and sturdy man dressed in white, sighed. "Chen Chu, your talent... is truly impressive."

Even Ji Wuji, who prided himself on his abilities, had to admit that he could not compare to Chen Chu, a freshman at the Eighth Heavenly Realm, who had condensed four world prototypes with his remarkable talent.

Although Ji Wuji's moments of showing off were always interrupted by Chen Chu, he could not deny Chen's talents were the most extraordinary he'd ever seen— even more impressive than those of the Innate Awakeners and descendants of kings.

Chen Chu modestly replied, "Ji Wuji, you're not too far behind either. Breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm before graduation— this level of talent was rare even ten years ago across all of East Xia."

Chen Chu's words weren't mere flattery. Qingqiu Minghui, whom he had encountered previously, was a descendant of a king and had awakened their bloodline strength. Yet, even Qingqiu had only reached the late stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm by the age of twenty.

Young geniuses had gathered from across the Federation for the expedition to the ruins. However, only five or six had broken through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm. Even Gabriella had only broken through after entering the ruins.

Chen Chu felt certain that someone would soon reach the Ninth Heavenly Realm within a year.

That girl, blessed with unrivaled talent, had obtained the inheritance of a sword array within the ruins and had walked the path of kings, nearing the end of the path of heavenly kings.

If not for Chen Chu, she would have unquestionably been the top genius of this generation, even surpassing the Innate Awakener Li Daoyi.

As Chen Chu's thoughts wandered, his gaze drifted to the distance, where An Fuqing, Xia Youhui, and the others were watching.

Xia Youhui shouted, "Ah Chu, you two stop complimenting each other!"

Chen Chu couldn't help but chuckle. With a single step, he appeared more than a hundred meters away, and in the next instant, he flashed another hundred meters forward, arriving at the edge of the residential area in the blink of an eye.

His Runic Divine Seed enhanced his agility tenfold, making Chen Chu's speed all the more astonishing.

In reality, this tenfold increase was a conceptual recalculation. When the core runes condensed into the divine seeds, they transformed into a power akin to divine abilities.

It was similar to when the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor broke through to level 8, and what was once merely an explosive burst of muscle strength condensed into the sequence chains of runes.

Under the influence of this power, Chen Chu could now move over a hundred meters in a single step without causing sonic booms or shockwaves.

The power of the Runic Divine Seed also extended to his defense, not merely strengthening it but forming an invisible shield of divine ability that constantly enveloped him.

These divine abilities, now second nature to Chen Chu, were controlled effortlessly, ensuring he didn’t accidentally do things like crushing chopsticks into powder while eating.

Lin Mei, standing beside Lin Xue, spoke first with a wide smile. "Chen Chu, congratulations on breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm."

Chen Chu smiled and replied, "I just took an early step. Your gains from this trip weren’t small either. You might catch up soon."

"Chen Chu, stop being modest. Do you think we don’t want to catch up?" Li Hao said with a helpless tone.

Months had passed, and he had been left three major realms behind. Even for top-level geniuses, crossing those realms would take years, if not decades.

Though he possessed innate divine strength and was once considered the second genius at Nantian Martial Arts High School, with potential to surpass An Fuqing, he had now fallen to third place. Who could he complain to?

In the face of Li Hao’s grumbling, Chen Chu merely smiled. He couldn’t very well say that his extraordinary talent made breaking through realms a trivial matter, could he? That would only discourage them further.

Xia Youhui approached with a grin. "Ah Chu, the faster you break through, the better. I’m looking forward to saying next year that King Chen Chu is my brother."

"Next year might be a stretch," Chen Chu replied hesitantly. He had a feeling that he could become a king this very year.

Before entering the ruins, his goal had been to reach the Ninth Heavenly Realm within a year, but becoming a king within a year? That had seemed too ambitious, as the barrier at the peak of the Ninth Realm was incredibly difficult to overcome.

This barrier had trapped many prodigies, preventing them from advancing further, and had stopped countless seasoned experts at the late stage of the Ninth Realm.

Now, however, with the Federation’s resources supporting him, and with his martial foundation and cultivation already deep enough, reaching the rank of king within a year no longer seemed impossible.

Unaware of all this, Xia Youhui encouraged Chen Chu. "Ah Chu, you’ve got this! I’m already getting ready to show off next year."

"Alright, I’ll give it my best shot. Lin Xue, Lin Yu." Chen Chu smiled as he greeted Lin Xue and her group before turning his attention to Li Daoyi not far away.

"Brother Li, earlier, I sensed a new, overwhelming power in your thunderbolts. It seems you've broken through the innate limitations. Congratulations!"

"Not bad, not bad," Li Daoyi replied modestly, trying to stay low-key. At the moment, he wished everyone would forget about him, especially that earlier boast of "Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one."

Before they could continue exchanging pleasantries, a scarred middle-aged man appeared in a flash, laughing heartily, "Today, our human race has gained two new Eighth Heavenly Realm powerhouses. Truly a cause for celebration!"

Seeing this, Xia Youhui quickly introduced him. "Ah Chu, this is Major General Bai Tu, the commander of the front base."

Huh... this guy can make friends anywhere he goes. Chen Chu glanced at Xia Youhui before smiling. "Greetings, General Bai Tu."

Bai Tu laughed heartily, "Young friend, no need to be so formal. Just earlier, when you broke through, King Xie sent me a message. He requests your presence at Base One, as the items you requested have been prepared."

"Prepared already?" Chen Chu’s eyes lit up. Clearly, his Life Crystals had arrived. "Everyone, I’ll head to Base One first."

After bidding farewell to the group, Chen Chu disappeared in a flash, leaving behind a sonic boom as he exited the frontier town.

Compared to silent, graceful movement, Chen Chu preferred this domineering feeling of breaking through the air and shattering everything in his path.

Before long, Chen Chu arrived at Base One. From afar, he could see a massive silver vortex, towering a thousand meters high and radiating invisible ripples.

In Chen Chu’s slowly emerging black-gold vertical pupils, the entire area surrounding the passage for several dozen kilometers was filled with intense spatial fluctuations.

Compared to the underwater passage controlled by the Kurong Colossal Beast Empire, East Xia’s passage was larger, more stable, and had a higher capacity.

During his seclusion, nothing abnormal had occurred in the seas. It seemed that the mythical-level colossal beast, the Black Abyss King, had not yet noticed the changes on this side.

However, upon reflection, that made sense. These mythical-level colossal beasts could sleep for months, half a year, or even ten years at a time, with a very slow perception of time.

This was normal, as these colossal beasts cultivated through sleep.

Being transcendent creatures, their energy consumption during normal activities became tremendous as their bodies grew larger, requiring vast amounts of biological energy.

That energy came from absorbing transcendent energy. Therefore, reducing activity minimized daily consumption and effectively increased their cultivation and growth speed.

Hunting other colossal beasts for food only provided significant gains if they hunted beasts of the same level, due to differences in quality and quantity.

After reaching level 8, the size disparity between colossal beasts of different levels could be several times or even tenfold, with the energy contained in their flesh differing by even greater magnitudes.

Thus, for a level 8 colossal beast, devouring a level 7 beast had little effect unless it spent all day consuming vast quantities.

Hunting and devouring beasts of the same level was rare. No beast could guarantee a sure victory over another. Before any fight began, no one knew the strength of the other's abilities. What if the battle ended in defeat and the other beast devoured them instead?

Therefore, after reaching level 9, colossal beasts only fought if tangible benefits were at stake. Even in conflicts, they mostly released their aura to intimidate one another without escalating to full battles.

With that time, it was better to sleep more and absorb transcendent energy to increase their strength.

There was the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor, who slaughtered same-level beasts like cutting down dogs and even dared to hunt those in a higher major realm, but such a terrifying creature had only appeared once in all these years.

Its incredibly powerful physique, dozens of times stronger than other colossal beasts of the same level, gave it the ability to dominate its peers. Combined with top-level innate abilities, it was invincible at the same stage.

However, this enormous body required a staggering amount of energy for each meter it grew, slowing its growth after reaching level 9.

This was why, after hunting three beginning-stage level 9 colossal beasts and devouring vast quantities of level 7 and 8 beasts in the Arctic Sea, it had only managed to break through to the middle stage of level 9.

Under such circumstances, even maintaining its rapid growth was difficult, let alone accumulating enough energy for further evolution.

Moreover, moving from the middle stage to the late stage, and then to the peak of level 9, required even more energy. The Dragon Emperor felt that it might need to devour a mythical-level colossal beast to reach that level.

For example... the Black Abyss King.
