Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Deep underground, Chen Chu stood tall with three-face and six-arms. Towering over ten thousand meters high, he held a halberd in his hand. Dark golden dragon phantoms coiled around him, radiating a terrifying aura powerful enough to crush heaven and earth.

From the blood-red Hell's Eye on the forehead of his left face, streams of world origin poured forth.

This was one of the privileges of being a Hell Apostle. After slaying the representative of an opposing supreme plane and devouring the supreme plane power they had summoned, he received a massive return of origin energy.

In addition, Chen Chu could clearly sense that the power of hell he controlled had advanced even further, now far stronger than an ordinary high-level law.

"Thirty-five strands of world origin." As his Hell's Eye stopped releasing energy, Chen Chu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, then looked down below.

Amid the blazing lava and molten earth, a black war hammer flickered in and out of sight. It had once belonged to a fallen demon god and was of a higher grade than the damaged black battle axe Chen Chu had acquired before.

Bang!

The moment Chen Chu took hold of the black war hammer, a powerful force surged from its core. An invisible shockwave burst forth, instantly scattering the surrounding molten rock.

But this force was immediately suppressed by Chen Chu.

With his dark golden halberd, more than twenty thousand meters long, in one hand, and the now shrunken war hammer, measuring a thousand meters, in the other, Chen Chu soared into the sky.

As Chen Chu left, the suppression from his principle power vanished. The hollowed-out space ten thousand kilometers underground started collapsing immediately as endless molten rocks rushed in to fill the space.

Turning into a streak of dark golden light, Chen Chu burst out from the earth and appeared high above the sky. The atmosphere around him shook violently, forming rings of white shockwaves that spread outward for thousands of kilometers.

"That human..."

Seeing the black war hammer in Chen Chu's hand, the three rulers of the Purgatory Empire, including Tyretis, looked on from the center of the Eternal battlefield with cold, steely gazes.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield over two hundred thousand kilometers away, the two demon gods under attack by four divine kings and Heavenly King Zhenwu suddenly turned pale when they realized Chen Chu was charging toward them at terrifying speed.

One of the demon gods, already injured and under attack from a golden-winged divine king and Heavenly King Zhenwu, suddenly revealed a look of grim determination. Behind it, one of its arms raised a glowing blue orb.

"Watch out!"

Both Heavenly King Zhenwu and the golden-winged divine king's expressions shifted.

The orb in the demon god's hand came from a powerful alien race that had been wiped out by their empire. It was a racial weapon refined over thousands of years, embodying that race's entire foundation.

Now, with all its energy activated, chains of blue runes encircled it, radiating a terrifying wave of power.

Boom!

A great blue sun, spanning a thousand kilometers in diameter, appeared between heaven and earth. It unleashed a torrent of destructive blue light that swept across more than ten thousand kilometers.

Amid the world-shattering explosion, a towering black stele, ten thousand meters tall, stood solidly in front of Heavenly King Zhenwu. It shielded him from the devastating blast that threatened to destroy everything in its path.

Behind the golden-winged divine king, ten pairs of golden wings flared open. The principle power surrounding him surged and condensed into countless divine runes, forming an unbreakable defense.

The moment the demon god's racial weapon self-destructed, the heavily injured demon god fled rapidly in the opposite direction.

Using the power of darkness to twist space, the demon god blinked a few times and reappeared tens of thousands of kilometers away, leaving behind only a long, fading howl that echoed through the sky.

"Borgotis, they have too many. I can't help you anymore."

"Skadia!"

Watching the fleeing demon god, Skadia, that was now tens of thousands of kilometers away, the demon god Borgotis, whose principle-condensed true form had already been destroyed once, let out a roar filled with shock and fury.

"Borgotis, you won't escape today."

Shariel, the divine king whose true form stood over ten thousand meters tall, let out a thunderous roar. Behind him, five pairs of silver wings burst into radiant light. Silver flames blazed fiercely, like ten beams of saber light slicing through the void.

At the same time, two other divine kings launched their attacks without hesitation.

One of them, a divine king at the beginning stage with four pairs of golden light wings behind him, had over three thousand golden divine runes condensed around him. They formed a golden barrier that enveloped Borgotis.

The other divine king, who had five pairs of white wings, gathered the principles of light in his hands. Chains of condensed principles pierced through the void like spears, pinning Borgotis in place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the combined attack of the three divine kings, Borgotis's true form exploded once more, turning into scattered chunks of flesh that filled the void.

"Now! Help me trap it!"

Shariel cried out, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. The other two divine kings attacked again, condensing their principle power into phantoms of two massive angels, each towering a hundred thousand meters tall.

As the two holy angels brought their hands together in a grasping motion, the space-time around the area where Borgotis's true form had exploded solidified, forming a transparent, diamond-shaped crystal in a platinum hue.

Behind Shariel, the flames burning on his silver wings poured downward, seeping into the crystal.

Inside the crystal, the phantom of Borgotis's divine soul surged with powerful energy, struggling to break free, but it was completely suppressed by the combined force of the three divine kings.

As the silver flames continued to burn, its aura grew weaker and weaker. Borgotis's agonized cries echoed from within. "Your Majesty Karotis, save me!"

Boom!

At the center of the Eternal battlefield, a twenty-thousand-meters-tall demon god with three faces and thirty two arms struck the golden tree roots of the Eternal Divine Tree. Suddenly, it turned its heads, locking its terrifying gaze towards Skadia, who had ran away instead of helping Borgotis.

"Skadia, how dare you abandon the battle!"

Far away, Skadia stood high in the sky, now more than two hundred thousand kilometers from the Borgotis. Its expression remained calm as it replied, "Karotis, it wasn't that I chose to abandon Borgotis. The enemy was simply too powerful. If I'd been a moment slower, even I would've fallen there."

Although Karotis was the stronger of the two, Skadia was not one of its subordinates. As a result, Skadia showed no fear in the face of Karotis's anger.

At that moment, Tyretis, who had just severed a golden tree root with his dark demonic saber, spoke coldly. "That's enough, Karotis. Once we deal with Metast, none of those divine kings or humans will escape."

Compared to the loss of one or two demon gods, the greater priority was exhausting Metast and seizing the origin of the Eternal Divine Tree.

Hum!

Just then, the entire Eternal Divine Region trembled slightly. At the edge of the divine region, a thick wall made of pure golden crystal emerged, radiating an aura of absolute immovability and indestructibility.

As the crystal wall of the divine region manifested, the sound of a deep, resonant horn echoed from within a golden micro-world.

The micro-world began to tremble and fall apart. On the other side of the golden wall, a rift opened, forming a passage that led straight to the outer mythical world.

As the rift appeared, an ancient voice reached the ears of Anstira and the others.

"Go."

"Divine Lord!"

The eyes of the Heavenly Feathered elites filled with deep reluctance, and sorrow spread across the land like a silent mist.

Even so, the Heavenly Feathered chief gods knew time was short. Bordea's expression grew grim as he said, "Brother Xuanwu, there's no time to waste. We have to go now. You lead the way."

"All ships, turn around and retreat behind the allied fleet!"

Heavenly King Xuanwu's tone was stern. "Engines to full power. Let's go!"

Boom!The human race's orbital battleships roared into action. Sixteen engines at the rear of each ship erupted in blazing light as they surged into the crystal passage.

As the world within the golden crystal wall began its evacuation, Shariel's silver wings continued to burn behind him, refining and erasing Borgotis. Suddenly, he turned calmly toward the remaining three divine kings, Heavenly King Zhenwu, and Chen Chu, who had just arrived.

"You all should leave too."

One of the divine kings, with ten white wings behind him, hesitated. "Brother Shariel..."

Shariel responded calmly. "My divine soul is damaged, my principles shattered. Even if I leave with you, I'll fall into eternal slumber."

"Compared to that, I'd rather stay behind and give Metast some support. Taking down just one more demon god would be worth it for us."

At that moment, the entire Eternal Realm began to shake. The golden barriers started glowing with a foreboding red light, and a terrifying aura of destruction spread outward.

Gazing at the now blood-red world, Shariel said firmly, "Go. With the support of our human allies, the Heavenly Feathered Race still has hope of rising again."

The three divine kings sighed softly, gave Shariel a slight bow, then turned to look at Heavenly King Zhenwu and Chen Chu.

"Thank you both for your help today. We hope that in the days to come, we can stand together and face the coming threat from the Purgatory clan."

Heavenly King Zhenwu nodded solemnly. "Of course."

"Let's move!"

The exchange between the divine kings lasted only a moment. Once finished, they didn't hesitate. One by one, they warped space and flew toward the distant micro-world at the golden wall.

Before leaving, Chen Chu glanced regretfully at the demon god who had escaped.

What a shame. That one had fled too quickly. If he, Zhenwu, and the three divine kings who now had their hands free had joined forces, that demon god wouldn't have gotten away.

Boom!A section of the crystal wall in the sky shattered, revealing a dark red void. Beyond the void was not empty space, but a world filled with endless ominous red light.

Boom!

A red pillar of light, hundreds of kilometers wide, pierced through heaven and earth. The moment it struck, mountain ranges collapsed, and tens of thousands of Purgatory troops, along with a demon king, were wiped out instantly.

Then came the second, followed by the third. Pillar after pillar of red light poured down, each varying in width. The entire world was thrown into chaos.

The annihilation had begun.

Even Tyretis couldn't help but roar as he watched. "Crimson Annihilation... Metast, you actually sacrificed the Eternal Divine Region to the dark red plane!"

The expressions of the other six demon gods also shifted slightly.

Atop the crown of the golden divine tree, which stretched over hundreds of thousands of kilometers, a radiant figure bathed in holy light looked down with a calm gaze.

"You've always wanted to destroy the Heavenly Feathered Race. Today, I shall grant your wish. Let us be buried here together."

Boom!The entire golden divine tree trembled. Its surface ignited with dark red flames, and in an instant, an even more terrifying aura of destruction engulfed the entire divine region.

The land collapsed. The sky shattered. The whole world seemed to be slowly swallowed by a massive blood-colored maw.

At that moment, the ruler of one of the three great empires, who had remained silent until now, suddenly roared, "Metast, do you really think we can't stop you?"

Boom!

In an instant, the demon god wielding a pillar tens of thousands of meters long, carved with countless images of true demons, let out a deafening roar. A terrifying surge of principle power erupted from his body.

"The Crimson Annihilation has only just begun. There's still time. Tyretis, Karotis and I will hold it back. You go all out and tear open the divine region."

"Do it!"

Karotis also stopped holding back. Chains of principle, woven from black and red, shot into the sky. Behind it, they reflected a horrifying abyssal world.

At the same time, the other three demon gods also unleashed their full power and charged toward the Eternal Divine Tree.

When all five demon gods unleashed their full power, Tyretis turned its gaze toward Chen Chu and the others, who had entered the golden wall world and were now approaching the edge of the rift passage.

In that moment, Tyretis's true demon god form, towering tens of thousands of meters high, unleashed an aura so terrifying it pierced the skies. The entire Eternal Realm trembled faintly.

At the same time, the true form of the abyssal demon god that had been fiercely battling the Eternal Divine Tree let out an earth-shaking roar and suddenly turned to lunge toward Tyretis.

Boom!

The moment the two figures merged, space and time around them collapsed, and the heavens trembled. Tyretis's body expanded, taking the form of a terrifying giant nearly one hundred thousand meters tall. A crushing pressure erupted from it, overwhelming even the principles of heaven and earth.

The force was so overwhelming, it approached the true spirit level.

With the dark demonic saber in its hand, Tyretis swung down. The resulting force shattered the principles sealing the central battlefield.

By now, Chen Chu and the others had stepped into the rift passage within the crystal wall, reappearing at the very place where they had first entered the mythical world.

But both Chen Chu and Heavenly King Zhenwu suddenly turned around, their expressions grim as they stared at the terrifying figure emerging from behind.

Boom!Under the power of Tyretis's dark demonic saber, the micro-world attached to the Eternal Divine Region exploded instantly.

"Today, none of you will leave alive."

A monstrous roar echoed through space and time. But just then, three golden tree roots, each stretching over hundreds of thousands of kilometers, pierced through the void. Along with them came an ancient voice. "Tyretis, have you forgotten about me?"

Boom!Entangled by the roots of the World Tree, Tyretis's stride halted. At the same time, the rift in the crystal wall through which Chen Chu and the others had passed began to shrink.

"Out of my way!"

Boom!

Under the devastating sweep of the black saber light, the surrounding laws unraveled. The three golden roots were cut apart instantly, and the saber kept going, slamming into the crystal rift. In an instant, the crystal wall shattered, and the rift, once narrowed to a hundred meters, rapidly expanded to several thousand.

Such overwhelming power caused both Heavenly King Zhenwu and the three divine kings to change expressions. This Purgatory demon god was far too powerful.

"So strong..."

Chen Chu, still in his Dark Star World-Ending Dragon Emperor form, looked on with a heavy expression. He knew that once this demon god broke through, almost everyone here, except himself, would likely die.

Buzz!A bright blue light flared on the back of Chen Chu's left hand, and the space-time summoning mark appeared.
