Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 535: Rampaging Giant, Super Electromagnetic Cannon (II)

While Chen Chu was contemplating how to refine the technique, the level 8 colossal beast in the distance finally noticed him.

With a furious bellow, the enraged colossal beast unleashed a wild gust of wind. It then launched itself off the ground and charged toward Chen Chu, breaking the earth to pieces and crushing the trees in its path.

It wanted to tear the detestable insect to shreds—to burn it to ashes with a single breath. However, just as the beast closed the gap to less than ten kilometers, a pair of black-gold vertical pupils appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.

Void energy then descended.

Boom!

The space around the colossal beast shattered, and dark fissures spread over a hundred meters.

The Spatial Shatter’s impact obliterated the domain of the peak level 8 beast. It also broke the tough, resilient creature and sent it crashing to the ground.

To Chen Chu, a peak level 8 colossal beast was no different from any ordinary level 8 beast—it could be killed with just a glance.

"It used up a tenth of my void energy."

After noting the slight decrease in void energy within his eyes, Chen Chu moved thoughtfully to the beast’s carcass. He then extracted a radiant crystal the size of a human head.

Looking at the thick scales of the colossal beast and the Life Crystal, a hint of regret flashed in Chen Chu’s eyes. "What a shame; I can’t take these back."

On Blue Planet, a level 8 colossal beast had astronomical value. Besides its flesh, its scales and bones were top-level materials for energy conductivity.

After a moment of reflection, Chen Chu ordered, "Convert to attribute points."

"You have converted high-purity Life Crystals and gained 3,810 attribute points."

As the numbers fluctuated, his attribute points surged from 43,501 to 47,311, which was only a couple of thousand points away from the fifty-thousand threshold needed for enhancement.

Chen Chu smiled in satisfaction.

In just three days since his arrival in the mythical world—excluding the two days he spent in seclusion—he had harvested tens of thousands of attribute points in a little over a day.

The mythical world was truly vast and bountiful.

Pleased, Chen Chu traveled to the massive crater that the halberd had blasted out. At the bottom of the pit, where the soil had crystallized from the intense heat, he retrieved his weapon.

Roar!

At that moment, the forest behind him shook. Along with a ferocious roar, a terrifying aura filled with murderous intent surged.

A giant, over 150 meters tall, approached the carcass of the colossal beast, destroying every tree in its path. It was covered in purple scales and had a fierce, fanged face.

Krraak!

It grabbed a large chunk of the beast’s hind leg and took a massive bite. Shattered scales and chunks of bloody flesh dripped from its mouth, making it look even more fearsome.

Chen Chu simply looked at the beginning-stage level 9 giant in the distance.

The giant had once been human.

Unlike mutated beasts, which grew increasingly massive through mutation, humans, due to the restraint of self-awareness, typically didn’t exhibit gigantism.

Even among those who had awakened physiques and unique abilities, only a few became slightly more robust.

But there were exceptions.

In recent years, during the Era of Darkness, the cult gods had swept millions of cultivators and over ten million ordinary humans into the mythical world.

For unknown reasons, a small number of these humans underwent a berserk mutation. They lost their minds, grew nonstop, and broke free from their human limits. Eventually, they turned into giant creatures whose minds had drowned in beastly instincts.

For such uncontrollable humanoid colossal beasts, as long as they hadn’t severely harmed their own people, the Human Federation generally exiled them to fend for themselves rather than eliminate them.

Research on these berserk giants, combined with advancements in gene martial arts and Gigantism abilities derived from colossal beast remains, helped humanity refine the Battle Body's cultivation system.

For instance, the true dragon form of Chen Chu’s War God Body bore some resemblance to these berserk creatures in terms of gigantism.

After a lingering look at the berserk giant, Chen Chu ascended, soaring tens of thousands of meters into the clouds. He restrained his aura as he flew deeper into the mythical world.

Compared to the land below, which teemed with towering trees and lurking dangers, the skies of the mythical world were relatively safer.

Over the next few hours, Chen Chu encountered only a dozen or so groups of flying mutated beasts. Not one of them was a level 7 or peak level 8 colossal beast.

Yes, it was about seeing rather than sensing their aura.

Unlike on Blue Planet, the mythical world was densely populated with powerful creatures due to its intense energy. Hence, even a level 9 colossal beast dared not release its aura lightly.

On Blue Planet, a level 9 colossal beast could release a domineering aura spanning hundreds of kilometers in the deep sea, but here, that would be suicidal—it could easily be swatted down by a passing mythical colossal beast.

Those who were not even at the mythical level had no right to claim a territory.

As if space itself shattered, the golden sunlight ahead suddenly dimmed, revealing a pitch-black void. It formed a wall towering tens of thousands of kilometers and stretching endlessly in both directions.

"I’ve finally reached it."

Hovering above the clouds, Chen Chu looked at the dark area stretching across the horizon, a trace of awe in his eyes.

Since leaving the Seventh Legion’s base, he had flown over fifteen thousand kilometers and skillfully avoided more than a dozen dangerous zones along the way thanks to his map, which made it seem as if the mythical world wasn’t all that perilous.

But now, his map was no longer useful.

Another thousand kilometers ahead lay a forbidden zone stretching at an angle for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with a width exceeding a hundred thousand kilometers.

This zone had formed from the collapse of a world that had once been devoured. It was filled with spatial distortion, void storms, and deadly traps that not even a king-level being was safe from.

At the same time, the area held countless opportunities. With the world shattered, its laws were exposed, condensing into all sorts of law-infused artifacts and countless natural treasures.

This region once belonged to an alien civilization, which was devoured and destroyed along with its world during the fusion.

Valuable relics from that civilization were scattered throughout along with powerful colossal beasts, some of which were even mythical. Hence, it had drawn numerous exploration teams.

Hong Zhantian had once ventured deep within but ended up trapped in the ruins of an alien civilization for over a decade before recently emerging.

Chen Chu merely cast a long look toward the forbidden zone, then turned and flew in another direction.

His current objective was to hunt colossal beasts to obtain crystals and boost his strength, not to explore the forbidden zone. He didn’t need any fortuitous encounters right now.

He simply went to this area because high-level colossal beasts were more concentrated here, making his Divine Lure Liquid more effective.

By luring several hundred, even thousands, of level 7 and above colossal beasts, he could collect a vast amount of Life Crystals, possibly enough to convert tens of thousands of attribute points.

Whoosh!

After a quick aerial survey, Chen Chu descended, landing atop a small mountain several thousand meters tall and surrounded by swirling mist.

"This spot will do."

He took out a dark red bottle from his Sumeru Bracelet and carefully opened it. From the bottle’s mouth spread a strong, bloody aura and flickering crimson runes.

The runes rapidly dispersed the unique aura in all directions.

Soon, a colossal beast in the distance let out a fearsome roar.

Groaaaagh!
