Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 670: Ancient Emperor, Unification of Divine Soul and True Form (II)

Chapter 670: Ancient Emperor, Unification of Divine Soul and True Form (II)

Just as Chen Chu’s aura continued to surge, the rift in the sky expanded once more, its tear stretching to seven hundred kilometers. In an instant, the oppressive might of heaven and earth intensified again.

Amid the extreme force that compressed the atmosphere into concentric white shockwaves, a colossal beast two thousand meters in length emerged from the depths of the rift.

This beast, formed from black thunderbolts, had two horns upon its head, a body covered in layered scales, and a form reminiscent of a qilin, but far more savage. The thunderbolts coiling around its body bore a resemblance to the legendary Hou[1].

The moment this ancient ferocious Hou appeared, an aura of sheer terror—one that had once devoured true dragons—swept across the world.

Under this dragon-devouring presence, the dragon power within Chen Chu trembled slightly, as if being instinctively suppressed. Yet, in the very next moment, boundless power erupted from within him.

Roar!

A thunderous dragon’s roar resounded through heaven and earth. Black and red dragon scales surfaced across Chen Chu’s body, his aura surging wildly. At that moment, he exuded the presence of a tyrannical, battle-hardened beast in human form.

According to legend, the Hou feasted upon dragons, particularly enjoying devouring their brains. It was an apex predator, unrivaled in ferocity.

However, the dragon bloodline within Chen Chu did not belong to any ordinary dragon. It originated from his colossal beast avatar, possessing the bloodline of an emperor-level dragon—the pinnacle of its kind. Thus, he outright ignored the natural suppression of his supposed predator.

Boom!

Thunderbolts crackled across the sky as the colossal Hou, as vast as a mountain range, strode forward with thunderous steps. With every motion, the atmosphere, transcendent energy, and even space itself were crushed into tangible solidity.

From afar, it seemed as though this thunderbolt beast was surrounded by layer upon layer of translucent tsunamis, which surged forth as it strode across the skies.

Even the Bright Blade King felt his pupils contract sharply as he witnessed the sight. Putting the destructive force of the thunderbolt beast aside, just the sheer presence of the thousands-of-meters-wide space-compression tsunamis surrounding it was terrifying beyond measure.

Even he was uncertain whether he could cleave through those layers of compressed space. For an ordinary Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator, merely touching them would mean instant obliteration. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Boom!

Chen Chu—three-faced, six-armed, and towering at two hundred meters—transformed into a gold and blue streak of light, soaring toward the heavens.

In his hands, his five-hundred-meter-long halberd shone with interwoven golden and blue radiance. The compression of two high-level laws was so intense that the halberd seemed to have completely transformed into pure light, radiating an indescribable brilliance.

Boom!

Empowered by two high-level laws, the weighty, overbearing halberd tore through the spatial tsunamis, driving forward with unstoppable momentum. It transformed into a two-thousand-meter-long gold and blue halberd light, slashing directly toward the thunderbolt beast.

Roar!

The Hou let out a deafening roar. In an instant, an endless cascade of black thunderbolts erupted from it. Wherever they passed, the condensed space tides within kilometers became rigid and motionless.

Yet, unlike before, there was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any devastating impact of destruction.

Under the spreading black thunderbolts, space itself shattered like a fragile mirror, breaking apart into countless reflective fragments in the blink of an eye. The destruction formed a crushing region several kilometers in diameter.

Amid this cataclysmic force, reminiscent of worlds collapsing, the halberd light disintegrated, and the four-layered planar barriers surrounding Chen Chu cracked with streaks of black fissures.

Boom!

The Absolute Barrier collapsed, and Chen Chu let out a muffled groan.

Numerous cracks appeared on his true form, clad in black and red dragon scales seamlessly integrated with his battle armor. His arms and face were also marked by long, narrow blood traces.

Despite being a manifestation of thunderbolts, the black thunderbolts of the ancient ferocious Hou were not characterized by searing heat or pure destruction—it embodied absolute crushing force.

Even with his flesh being more resilient than the planar barrier, Chen Chu was still slightly injured under the power that shattered space itself and dissolved laws.

Chen Chu sighed lightly. "As expected of this kind of tribulation—it cannot be underestimated."

Even as he spoke, the cracks on his body vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye, restoring him to pristine condition in an instant. Then, his gaze shifted toward the raging void ahead.

There, a streak of black lightning several meters long flickered and twisted, radiating the pure power of law origin.

The moment Chen Chu grasped the black thunderbolt, his entire body was immediately enveloped in dense black lightning, while below him, a black-golden vertical pupil, a manifestation of the void law, merged into his being.

Boom!

Chen Chu's aura erupted once more. His True Demon God Form swelled beyond 250 meters, its presence becoming even more oppressive.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Around his three-faced, six-armed form, black void energy, golden flames, and blue thunderbolts manifested, forming three tangible law-sequence chains that circled him and radiated a majestic and sacred aura.

As each heavenly tribulation unfolded, countless cultivators and New Humans in the floating city below watched in stunned awe, their eyes burning with fervor. Too powerful.

Boom!

Above the sky, the rift continued to expand to a massive nine hundred kilometers, resembling a black abyss and overflowing with an even greater force of divine might.

Under this overwhelming might, countless hearts trembled in fear. Cultivators below the Seventh Heavenly Realm turned pale, unable to withstand the growing pressure, and fainted instantly. In mere moments, over a hundred thousand people collapsed.

Hum!

The energy barrier above the floating city flared brilliantly, thickening further to block most of the pressure permeating the heavens and earth.

"So this is how a king’s breakthrough looks... How terrifying."

"Yeah... Just the pressure alone makes it hard to breathe..."

Many cultivators exhaled in relief, though their shock didn’t fade.

Deep within the dark rift, countless lights gathered, forming the vague silhouette of a celestial palace complex.

Upon the indistinct palace staircase, a colossal phantom over ten thousand meters tall emerged, stepping upon the flow of time. It descended from the distant past, exuding an indescribable imperial majesty.

"How is this possible?! That’s the tribulation of the ancient emperor!" Heavenly King Jiuyou’s expression changed drastically.

The vague figure of the emperor slowly lowered its gaze, looking down at Chen Chu. In that instant, a chilling sense of imminent danger surged through his soul.

Boom!

The heavens collapsed, and the entire world trembled violently.

With just a wave of the emperor's hand, a colossal golden imperial seal, thousands of meters in size, descended from the sky, radiating a power capable of suppressing the world and crushing eternity.

Beneath the golden seal, vast expanses of space shattered instantly, obliterating all in its path. The overwhelming force created an unending tide of dark destruction, continuously descending upon the world.

As the sky threatened to collapse, Chen Chu remained motionless, showing not a trace of tension.

The rightmost face tilted slightly upward with his eyes closed. His expression was icy cold, and along the edges of his eyes, black divine law inscriptions surfaced. Then, his eyes suddenly snapped open.

Boom!

With sixteen-fold amplification, his black-golden vertical pupils, condensed with void law, locked onto the descending destruction.

Crack! Crack!

The golden imperial seal began to fissure. The cracks spread like a web, covering the entire seal within an instant.

Boom!

A blinding golden explosion erupted in the sky, forming a massive golden shockwave that swept across dozens of kilometers. Wherever it passed, space ruptured and detonated, shaking the heavens and earth.

Amid the roaring gales, Chen Chu stood firm, his halberd in hand. After unleashing the void-annihilating strike, the rightmost face slowly closed its eyes.

Chen Chu stood unchallenged against the ancient past, towering within the heavens. His aura became even more oppressive, as violent winds howled around him, causing his black hair to whip wildly in the storm.

As the golden imperial seal shattered, wisps of celestial white energy descended from the sky, surrounding Chen Chu’s figure and making him appear even more divine and transcendent.

With the completion of the fourth stage of the ancient emperor's tribulation, the gate of death, which had been standing in the depths of the void, trembled violently. It transformed into a gray law-sequence chain, piercing into Chen Chu’s body.

Boom!

With the fusion of the fourth high-level law, Chen Chu’s true form expanded once again, reaching three hundred meters. At the same time, a sacred and divine aura radiated from his being, spreading endlessly.

Countless cultivators below were overcome with excitement, their faces lighting up in exhilaration.

"He did it! He successfully condensed his law-fused form! Now, as long as his soul undergoes the transformation through the law origin within his body and evolves into a divine soul, then—"

Boom!

Just as the tens of thousands of advanced cultivators in the floating city thought the breakthrough had concluded, a boundless surge of soul pressure erupted from Chen Chu.

Behind him, a towering three-hundred-meter figure, clad in an imperial robe and wearing the Imperial Crown of Twenty-Four Heavens, materialized. In its grasp was a black imperial seal.

Whoosh!

Black, gray, gold, and blue flames burned across Chen Chu’s body—the very law origins he had just condensed. As these laws burned, his True Soul Emperor Form began its transformation, shifting toward an undying, inexhaustible divine soul.

At the same time, his true soul form and his three-faced, six-armed true form gradually drifted toward each other. The fusion emanated an aura of unparalleled completeness and boundless power.

Boom!
