Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 737: Eternal Sapling, the Foreboding of An Extinction War (III)

Chapter 737: Eternal Sapling, the Foreboding of An Extinction War (III)

In the days that followed, the frontline battles grew increasingly fierce. Within the Blue Planet, five more impact shockwaves struck, tearing open numerous spatial rifts.

Still, just as the Federation’s think tank had predicted, each subsequent shockwave was weaker than the last. Although the sudden rifts that appeared across the globe did cause some casualties and led to many people awakening mutations, they remained under human control.

Deep within the magma of a rift world in the Chaotic Region, the Destructive Dragon Emperor had grown to over 1,600 meters long. Its massive form resembled a mountainous black-and-red serpent, emanating an oppressive aura.

As the Dragon Emperor gradually stepped into the titan level, its evolving body enhanced Chen Chu’s true form through the Synchronized Reinforcement, making his presence increasingly terrifying, to the point of collapsing space with sheer force.

In the planar worlds, Chen Chu sat in mid-air as he cultivated amid a realm of death. His long black hair whipped wildly within golden flames, and blue electric arcs leaped across his body, exuding a presence both divine and demonic.

Suddenly, the epiphany aura enveloping him rapidly dissipated. After five full days of cultivation, Chen Chu’s eyelids twitched slightly and slowly opened.

In those black-and-white pupils reflected the void and death—like a supreme deity overseeing life and death, majestic and domineering.

Chen Chu said softly, "Is it Sunday already?" With a thought, he withdrew his aura. The darkness faded, the flames vanished, and all of the phenomena around him dispersed. freewebnoveℓ.com

He had only gone into seclusion for five days, having promised Zhang Xiaolan he would accompany her back to the countryside for a tomb-cleaning visit. He had precisely timed it and burned 150,000 attribute points.

Though it had only been five short days, his progress across all aspects of his cultivation had been astounding.

Sensing that the origin of the laws and his physical strength had grown several times stronger compared to five days ago, Chen Chu summoned his attribute page.

Thanks to the Dragon Emperor’s recent growth, Chen Chu’s physical foundation had become even stronger in just a few days, comparable to the enhancement he’d gained from slaying a powerful alien prodigy in the Ancient Arena.

In addition, within five days, his cultivation had nearly reached the middle stage of the mythical level. The Great Heavenly Sun Flame was only 4% short of reaching the intermediate stage.

The Law of Power, which had originally progressed the slowest, had surged ahead due to the planar world breaking through the thousand-kilometer mark and becoming a micro-world, overtaking the laws of both Void and Death.

In just five days, his cultivation had skyrocketed toward the middle stage of the mythical level—a rate of advancement that would shake the entire Federation if word got out. This was the true measure of the greatest genius in history. Of course, Chen Chu understood very clearly why he could cultivate so quickly.

Still, this extreme seclusion session had been a bit wasteful. Instead of burning 150,000 attribute points all at once, burning 10,000 per day would have been enough to break through to the middle stage of the mythical level without overloading.

Near the end of the seclusion, Chen Chu’s progress slowed significantly. His consciousness could no longer process, absorb, and convert his insights in real time.

With each moment of resonance between his soul and heaven and earth, he gained countless insights into Power, Death, Void, Soul, and the other three laws. Yet the sheer volume of these profound truths kept piling up, just like an overclocked CPU lagging from overload.

In addition, because he had maintained continuous law resonance without pause, the consumption of his divine soul was astronomical. This was evident from the side note next to his spirit attribute.

Ordinarily, kings cultivated by allowing their divine soul to merge with heaven and earth, gaining insight into laws, validating them against their own bodies, then withdrawing the soul to absorb transcendent energy and convert it into law origin and divine law power.

Then they would repeat the cycle—merging, resonating, validating, refining—like circulating true power through their body.

However, each time a king’s soul dove deep into the world to touch upon its laws and resonate with the cosmos, the soul burned a massive amount of energy.

Yet Chen Chu, in his madness, had kept himself in continuous resonance while simultaneously grasping five high-level laws and one supreme law. Only someone like him could withstand that level of strain—his consumption every moment had been more than twenty times that of a typical king.

Chen Chu smiled as he looked up from the attribute page. "If I go into seclusion again for two or three more days, all of my laws should reach the intermediate stage, and I’ll break through to the middle stage."

He was still very satisfied with his current cultivation progress. As long as he had enough attribute points to burn, his advancement in the mythical level would be no slower than breakthroughs to the Eighth or even Ninth Heavenly Realm. In just a month or two, he could potentially reach the heavenly king level.

When that happened, the entire Federation would tremble once more. He would shake the world.

Even as he was imagining the awe-inspiring moment of breaking through to the heavenly king level, Chen Chu disappeared from the planar world.

Seeing Chen Chu appear out of thin air, the two cultivator guards stationed at the temporary command center saluted respectfully, their expressions solemn. “Greetings, my lord.”

Chen Chu gave them a slight nod. "No need for formalities."

Just then, a flash of silver light flickered nearby, and Yan Ruoyi appeared not far away. Her face lit up with a smile as she saw him, black hair draping over his shoulders. "Chen Chu, you’re done with your seclusion?"

"Yeah, it’s over. Nothing major happened these past few days, right?" Looking at the breathtakingly elegant Yan Ruoyi, a gentle smile naturally rose on Chen Chu’s face.

After endless killing and battling, Chen Chu could only finally allow himself to relax in front of people he knew well.

"Nothing big. Everything’s under control. Even the Tyrannosaur Aliens’ original base on the other side of the rift has shown no signs of movement."

As she spoke, Yan Ruoyi stepped closer, gazing at the young man in front of her whose aura had grown even heavier. A glint of admiration flickered in her eyes. "Chen Chu, your cultivation has advanced significantly again, hasn’t it?"

Chen Chu didn’t hide it. "Not bad. This time in seclusion was quite fruitful. I should be able to break through to the middle stage within a week."

Gasp!

Even Yan Ruoyi couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. This guy is still improving at such an insane rate after reaching the mythical level? He really is a monster.

"You are impressive. You know, my dad took over two years just to get from the beginning stage to the middle."

"It’s alright," Chen Chu said with a smile, then added, "Since nothing’s happening here, I’ll head back to Wujiang for a bit. I promised my mom I’d go with her to the countryside today to visit the graves."

"Visiting the graves?" Yan Ruoyi blinked.

After greeting Li Qingtian and Kavadora, Chen Chu turned into a streak of golden light and shot into the sky, traveling across half of East Xia at over twenty times the speed of sound. In just a few minutes, he crossed over a thousand kilometers and appeared in the skies above Wujiang City.

It was Sunday, 9 AM. At the courtyard gate, Zhang Xiaolan and Chen Hu had already prepared candles, an entire box of joss paper, candies, fruit, baijiu, and firecrackers as offerings[1].

A black SUV was already parked there. Once everything was loaded into the trunk, Chen Hu rubbed his hands eagerly. "Mom, let me drive today. You and Bro can sit in the back."

"You haven’t even learned how to drive, what are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaolan said in exasperation. "Even if you somehow manage to drive, what if you run into a traffic officer?"

Chen Hu grinned sheepishly. "Mom, I might not have a license, but I’ve already practiced driving with Yiyi’s dad’s car. I swear I’m fine. And we don’t need to worry about traffic police. My brother’s a—"

Smack!

Zhang Xiaolan stood on tiptoe and slapped Chen Hu on the shoulder, her expression stern. "Even if your brother’s a king, you still have to follow the law. Understand?"

Chen Hu shrank his neck and nodded quickly. "I get it, Mom. I was just joking."

Just then, a streak of golden light tore through the clouds and landed in front of them—Chen Chu had returned.

1. In China and some other East Asian countries, ancestor worship revolves around the idea that the afterlife is similar to the living world, so items both necessary and luxurious comprise the bulk of offerings to the deceased.

Joss papers, also known as incense papers, are burned to become spirit money for ancestors.

Baijiu is a colorless liqueur that is usually distilled from sorghum (also known as great millet or broomcorn), though it can also be made using various rices or wheats. It has a high alcohol content, coming in at 35-60% alcohol by volume. ☜
