Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 492: Legendary Weapon, Ultimate Move

The fault in the void was a space sealed by the powerful force of the boundary wall. It was thousands of meters high and tens of thousands of meters wide, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Chen Chu stood at the edge of the fault, slowly releasing the restraint he had on his physical body. In an instant, a suffocating pressure filled the air, capable of crushing both the void and the earth itself.

The power was so overwhelming that the surrounding air expanded under the compression, exploding outward from him and forming rings of white shockwaves that spread over a dozen meters away.

Cracks, like spider webs, continued to spread beneath his feet until the ground could no longer withstand the force. It gave way with a thunderous crash, forming a crater over three meters deep and more than ten meters wide.

Chen Chu’s physique alone was comparable to that of an beginning-stage level 8 draconic colossal beast, a creature over sixty meters long compressed into a mere two-meter human form.

This extreme compression brought about an even more profound transformation, granting him the true essence of a dragon.

Whoosh!

As his full physical strength was unleashed, an immense pressure erupted. Floating three meters high off the ground, Chen Chu was surrounded by raging winds tossing around sand and stones. The intense scene was astonishing.

The sheer force of his presence left Xia Youhui and the others, who had come to watch from a distance, utterly shocked.

Xia Youhui marveled. "Ah Chu, this guy... ever since his physical ability awakened, his body has grown stronger and stronger. It feels like his ability’s on the same level as an Innate Awakener."

An Fuqing, who stood calmly beside them with her arms crossed, replied indifferently, "It's not just that it's comparable. His awakened physical ability is at the innate level."

"So, does that mean Chen Chu’s talent is actually the best among all of us?" Lin Xue mused thoughtfully.

Lin Yu gently shook her head. "Sis, it's not just about talent. His effort can’t be overlooked either."

Xia Youhui nodded with some admiration. "Exactly. Ah Chu's talent is better than ours, but what's more impressive is that he works even harder than us. That's what I respect most about him."

Lin Xue also nodded in agreement.

If it hadn’t been for the pressure that Chen Chu brought, Xia Youhui, Lin Xue, and the others, who were quite talented themselves, would have easily ranked in the top ten at their first-rate martial arts high school.

Under normal circumstances, breaking through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm in a single semester would have been their limit, even with the current improved cultivation environment.

Humans were complex creatures. When surrounded by excellence, they instinctively strived to match or surpass those who were better, pushing themselves to work even harder.

As Xia Youhui and the others marveled from afar, Chen Chu was carefully attuning himself to the changes in his body. From how robust his life force had become, it seemed that, as long as it remained, he could not die, with his cells capable of unlimited division and replication.

Aside from that... there didn’t seem to be any other particularly special traits. At least, there wasn’t a significant boost in his overall strength.

This newly gained Dragon attribute could be seen as an optimization of his previous fusion with the Dragon Emperor's essence, enhancing his physical body in all aspects. It was an upgrade in his life stage.

"Life stage... like that of an emperor?"

Chen Chu pondered for a moment, but without any clear conclusion, he shook his head and decided to try out the combat skill he had developed last night, one uniquely his own.

As an advanced Eighth Heavenly Realm cultivator, Chen Chu’s true martial cultivation was already approaching the peak of transcendence.

He could convert his physical power into the real attributes of a dragon, unleashing true dragon power amplified by several dozen times the power of heaven and earth through the True Dragon Battle Body, capable of withstanding missile explosions without harm.

Along with this came the twenty-fold increase in defense, twenty-fold strength, ten-fold agility, and the command of Thunderbolt and Heavenly Flame through his five rune-formed divine seeds.

Combining these amplifications with his physique, his power had exploded to an incredible level.

With the transcendental boost and the aid of heavy weapons capable of delivering several times to dozens of times the speed of sound in slashing attacks, even an aircraft carrier could be sunk with a single strike from him. Not to mention the War God Body form with three heads and six arms.

Whoosh!

With a flip of his hand, Chen Chu grasped his halberd, taking a deep breath as the transcendent energy within a range of hundreds of meters surged wildly toward him.

Boom!

The Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd in his hand flickered with golden light. Enhanced by thirty times the power of heaven and earth, it instantly transformed into a massive halberd, eighty meters long.

An enormous weight emanated from it, and the eighty-meter halberd light was surrounded by swirling air currents, releasing a presence that nearly reached the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

The invisible sharpness radiating from it tore through the surrounding air, and the ground beneath it cracked open with fissures several meters, even up to ten meters wide, creating a scene that was both terrifying and awe-inspiring.

It wasn’t enough.

A flash of red light shone between Chen Chu's brows as the Apocalypse Purgatory rune, shaped like a sealed eye, slowly opened.

In an instant, his eyes turned blood-red, filled with violent killing intent. As the Hellblood Battle Will fused with the Apocalypse Purgatory rune, it transformed into a blood sea domain, expanding over a two-hundred-meter radius.

Boom!

Endless red light radiated as the transcendent energy within a thousand meters was drawn in. With a fivefold increase in battle will and a tenfold amplification from the apocalyptic domain, the golden halberd surged to 120 meters in length.

The Blood Sea Purgatory contracted and condensed, dyeing the golden halberd a deep purple-red. Within its depths, the vague silhouettes of countless contaminated monsters could be seen, howling in agony.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the immense energy gathered, the surrounding air exploded, stirring up fierce winds and tearing the earth apart. In the blink of an eye, sand and stones flew wildly across a range of hundreds of meters, plunging everything into chaos.

Gasp!

The scene left Lin Xue and the others breathless. This level of power was far beyond what the Eighth Heavenly Realm should possess.

"It's still not enough."

Boom!

With a low growl, the dazzling lightning on Chen Chu's body erupted. Bright bolts of thunder shot out, forming nine blue rings of lightning that coiled around the halberd.

Under the immense pressure, the 120-meter-long purple-red halberd began to compress, shrinking down to just 10 meters and glowing with a brilliant light.

From a distance, it looked as if he was holding a divine artifact enhanced to the max.

Simultaneously, golden flames ignited from Chen Chu’s palm, merging with the halberd. As the flames gathered at the edge of the halberd blade, they compressed and condensed, forming a dazzling black-gold glow.

This was a manifestation of extreme, concentrated heat, annihilating all matter and energy around it.

Chen Chu let out a powerful roar. Wielding the glowing purple-red halberd, he swept it across, unleashing a golden halberd light dozens of meters long in an explosive arc.

As the crescent-shaped halberd light shot forth, it absorbed the surrounding transcendent energy, rapidly expanding to over a hundred meters in an instant. A blazing whirlwind formed as it slashed into a distant hill a thousand meters away.

Boom!

The two-hundred-meter-high hill was instantly cleaved in half by the halberd light. The soil and rocks at the cut were melted into lava under the intense heat, and half of the hill was blasted away.

Boom!

The halberd light exploded, spraying out countless golden flames. A blazing sun, more than three hundred meters in diameter, formed as golden fire dragons circled around it, covering hundreds of meters.

The extreme heat and sharp energy tore apart and melted everything in the vicinity, including the hill itself.

Before Xia Youhui and the others could react, Chen Chu swung his halberd again. In an instant, a brilliant blue halberd light streaked across the sky like a vertical laser, appearing a kilometer away in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The destructive thunderbolt blade exploded, carving a long, thin rift more than five hundred meters long and over ten meters wide into the ground. The surrounding soil was scorched black.

Compared to the searing power of the Heavenly Flame halberd blade, the True Lightning halberd blade was faster and sharper. However, it was slightly less effective in large-scale destruction.

Unlike the colossal beasts that caused widespread devastation upon reaching level 8 or 9, a human's power at high levels became extremely concentrated, with greater single-target lethality.

After all, the difference in body size and the total energy contained within a human and a colossal beast was significant.

Lost in thought, Chen Chu began swinging his halberd wildly. In the blink of an eye, golden and blue halberd lights madly flew out, constantly drawing in transcendent energy and expanding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, Chen Chu was like a missile launcher, and the deafening explosions shook the entire land, illuminating the sky with their blinding light.

Even the soldiers at the front base, located more than ten kilometers away, were alarmed. One by one, they climbed onto the rooftops or buildings, staring in shock at the dazzling light and overwhelming energy fluctuations in the distance.

"What incredible destructive force! It’s comparable to the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Realm."

"No, it's more than that. Judging by the destruction and energy fluctuations, it’s already on par with a beginning-stage Ninth Realm cultivator."

"Gasp! But Little Chen just broke through to the Eighth Realm!"

Baitu Hong slowly said, "Well, this is no ordinary freak. He condensed four worlds upon breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm. It's only natural that his power can leap across a major realm."

Natural, my foot!

They had fought on the front lines for many years, and had seen their fair share of human prodigy and demon kings' descendents.

Never before had they encountered a monster whose battle strength, at the beginning stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, could rival that of a beginning-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator. What was more, his true power was so dense that he could sustain continuous explosive attacks.

This kind of relentless destructive bombardment was something that even a beginning-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm expert couldn’t withstand.

The Heavenly Flame halberd blade, which exploded like a blazing fire dragon, along with the lightning-fast and razor-sharp True Lightning halberd light, were the results of Chen Chu’s enlightenment from the previous night.

By merging true martial arts with the True Lightning and Heavenly Flame abilities, he unleashed attacks with the explosive force of the true dragon’s power, the sharpness of the halberd light, the scorching heat of Golden Flames, and the lightning-fast long-range strikes of Thunderbolts.

Each of these single-target destructive attacks had reached the power of the beginning stage of the Ninth Heavenly Realm and could be unleashed consecutively.

On top of that, with his halberd art having reached perfection, combined with his terrifying reflexes and speed, even those a major realm higher couldn’t suppress him in melee combat.

Boom!

Suddenly, an endless blood sea erupted around Chen Chu, covering hundreds of meters. Blood-red light surged into the sky, resembling the ferocious and menacing face of a demon god.

A purple-black halberd, three hundred meters long and wrapped in thunderbolts and flames, shot into the sky like a massive missile, crashing down over a kilometer away.

Boom!

In an instant, the heavens and earth collapsed, the ground trembled, and dazzling gold, blue, and purple-red light rapidly expanded, transforming into a five-hundred-meter-wide sphere of destruction.

Just when Xia Youhui and the others thought the explosion would resemble a nuclear blast, readying themselves to withstand the shockwave, the light sphere suddenly collapsed.

Within the destructive energy, a vortex appeared, collapsing inwards and causing the surrounding space to shatter. At its center, a pitch-black point formed, swallowing and annihilating everything.

In the blink of an eye, the implosive vortex vanished, leaving behind utter devastation.

As they looked at the smoke-filled ground, and the five-hundred-meter-wide crater that seemed to have appeared out of thin air, everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.

It was manageable to defend against an explosive release of power; enduring the initial impact was enough.

But this kind of instantaneous collapse, concentrating all the destructive force into a single attack, was terrifying. The core of that destruction was several times more intense than a typical release of power.

Surrounded by the swirling blood-red light, Chen Chu slowly exhaled and nodded in satisfaction. “The power of this Abyssal Collapse isn’t bad, but the halberd is feeling a bit light.”

As his body continued to strengthen, the eight-ton halberd was beginning to feel a little unwieldy for Chen Chu. It was like an adult wielding a foam weapon.

Soon, the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor would break through to the late stage of level 9. After defeating the Black Abyss King, it would likely meet the requirements for its fifth evolution, breaking through to the mythical level.

At that point, the feedback to his body would make him even more powerful.

Thus, the weight of the halberd would need to be enhanced to several thousand or tens of thousands of tons, and its level would need to be raised to legendary, the kind used by top-level Ninth Heavenly Realm experts.

For cultivators below the Third Heavenly Realm, weapons were typically made from alloys. After breaking through to the Fourth Realm, they learned secret arts for refining weapons, enabling them to craft their own transcendent weapons.

Fourth Heavenly Realm cultivators used either low-level or middle-level transcendent weapons. Only after reaching the Seventh Heavenly Realm and harnessing transcendent energy could they forge high-level transcendent weapons.

The grade of a weapon was directly tied to the cultivator’s level and the secret arts they used in refinement.

For instance, the weapons of Ninth Heavenly Realm experts, when tempered and infused with top-level transcendent materials, would also absorb the wielder’s domain power, granting them legendary attributes.

Weapons infused with domain power surpassed ordinary transcendent limits, becoming extraordinarily powerful.

The weapons of kings reached the level of laws. Enveloped in the wielder’s personal laws, these weapons could unleash even greater combat strength.

Lost in thought, Chen Chu put away his halberd, activating the Hidden Divinity rune to conceal his aura. In an instant, he transformed from a colossal beast of destruction into a gentle young man.

Xia Youhui, Lin Xue, and Lin Yu couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of dissonance as they watched the handsome young man flash step by step, crossing over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye to appear before them.

An Fuqing said, "To be able to surpass an entire major realm in battle strength after reaching the Eighth Heavenly Realm, as expected of you. Looks like I need to work even harder."

Lin Xue sighed. "It's not just that his strength is overwhelming—he has endurance too."

Recalling how Chen Chu had unleashed hundreds of full-powered halberd lights in succession, Xia Youhui and Lin Yu nodded in agreement. His stamina was indeed remarkable.

Chen Chu smiled modestly. "It’s not that impressive. After reaching the Eighth Heavenly Realm, the amount of transcendent energy I can draw from the heavens and earth increases, so the consumption of true power isn’t as great as it seems."

The group was already used to Chen Chu’s humility, and having been repeatedly stunned by his prowess, they were now numb to it. After exchanging a few simple words, they returned to the town.

An Fuqing resumed contemplating her top-level secret scripture, while Xia Youhui and the others immediately applied for a cultivation room to enter seclusion.

While they were still at the Fifth Heavenly Realm, Chen Chu had already broken through to the Eighth, with battle strength rivaling the Ninth. If they didn’t push themselves harder, the gap between them would only widen.

Some gaps, however, couldn’t be closed through effort alone.

Chen Chu, on the other hand, planned to continue his seclusion for another day to refine his Seven Demon-Slaying Slashes, especially the third move, the Abyssal Collapse, which still had some imperfections in its power fusion.

The Seven Demon-Slaying Slashes was a combat skill he had developed through his personal martial arts insights, and he had currently derived the third move.

The first move was the Heavenly Flame Dragon Burial; and the second, the True Lightning Slash.

These three moves were just foundational. Next, Chen Chu planned to combine his War God Body and dragon form, along with the power of the four worlds, to create an ultimate move.
