Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 837: Welcome, Blade King! (I)

—Attention, everyone. The fleet is about to enter the forbidden zone. The intense magnetic fields and violent energy will temporarily cut off communication between ships. Please remain calm and avoid moving around.

As the broadcast echoed across more than a dozen battleships, the sky ahead was completely engulfed by an azure storm. The howling winds, almost tangible, formed towering tornadoes that seemed to pierce both heaven and earth. Transcendent energy raged within them, and space shattered in patches, creating a scene that was terrifying to behold.

Boom!

Battleship 1, which stretched for dozens of kilometers, plunged into the forbidden zone first. Its energy shield instantly erupted with violent ripples under the azure storm’s assault. Fortunately, the winds in this particular entrance were somewhat weaker. The impact was comparable only to a beginning-stage level 9 colossal beast’s attack, and nowhere near enough to shake an orbital battleship's defenses.

Under the impact, Battleship 1 advanced along its designated path, cutting through the storm. In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the chaos, followed closely by Battleship 2. At the same time, the explosive energy tremor caused by the battleships entering the forbidden zone jolted Chen Chu awake.

As he regained his senses, a strange lightness, as if his entire body had been unburdened from within, washed over him. He turned his head, a bit surprised as he looked at the black-haired girl beside him. "I didn’t expect your mental cultivation to be able to affect me, Luo Fei."

Having mastered the Insightful Eye saber art, a technique that let him perceive malice, hostility, and even imminent danger at a glance, Chen Chu knew better than anyone how mysterious and unfathomable the power of the mind could be.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, Luo Fei, who trained in a primal secret art, had surpassed Chen Chu in certain aspects. Unbeknownst to him, she had influenced his state of mind just through casual conversation. Otherwise, a few old memories alone wouldn’t have been enough to make him lose focus.

"That’s because you let your guard down around me." The girl smiled faintly, not taking it too seriously, and then pulled out a storage ring. "Congratulations on ascending to the throne. This is my mythical gift for you."

In the Federation, every king who broke through to the mythical level was considered a pillar of strength. Each breakthrough was publicly celebrated with a ceremony, with congratulations pouring in from across the world.

However, after Chen Chu’s breakthrough, he plunged straight into battle against the Demon Cult Alliance. Then came a wave of upheaval, forcing him to guard the Blue Planet, followed by a deep strike into the Purgatory Empire’s rear lines. He had barely returned for two days before joining the expeditionary force. There simply hadn’t been any time to celebrate.

"You’ve been gathering all the Life Crystals produced by the Federation during this time as a gift for me?" Chen Chu smiled as he accepted the storage ring without hesitation.

Luo Fei replied in a light tone, "Yes. I thought this would be a suitable gift because you once said that your awakened physical ability allows you to absorb life force to strengthen your body. But this also means that when I break through to the mythical level, you need to prepare a gift for me too."

"Deal. I’ll make sure it’s something big." Chen Chu nodded, then stood up. "I’m going to cultivate. I want to break through to heavenly king before we reach our destination, or at the very least, reach the peak of the mythical level."

The fleet was expected to be in flight for a full month. He wasn’t about to let that time go to waste. Looking at the young man standing in the roaring wind, long hair whipping through the air, Luo Fei’s eyes filled with awe. "Breaking through from the late stage of the mythical level to heavenly king in a month... Well, only you would dare have this kind of ambition."

After the mythical level, every stage was like a great chasm, marking a fundamental transformation in power. Advancing even a minor realm took immense effort, often requiring years of contemplation and bitter cultivation.

With Chen Chu, however, it seemed as if there were no bottlenecks. Even after entering the mythical level, his cultivation had soared rapidly. In just over twenty days, he had already reached the late stage. As a result, breaking through to the heavenly king level in a month... seemed almost normal for him.

After bidding Luo Fei farewell, Chen Chu made his way to the rear end of the battleship. The massive warship offered vast space; thanks to spatial expansion technology, the residential area was practically the size of a city.

However, since Chen Chu’s upcoming cultivation would cause quite a commotion, he opted not to use the designated seclusion area.

"I’ll be entering seclusion here. Unless it’s something urgent, do not disturb me."

On the deck, the major in charge of rear security and intel control respectfully nodded. "Understood, my lord."

Once the major left, Chen Chu sat cross-legged at the edge of the deck. A layer of void energy radiated from his body, forming a black domain nearly a hundred meters wide. Only after that did he take out the ring Luo Fei had gifted him.

As his consciousness entered it, he instantly sensed a dense array of high-grade Life Crystals, enough to exchange for more than two hundred thousand attribute points. There were also a lot of other valuable resources for strengthening planar worlds, over twenty times more valuable than the Life Crystals.

Most of these resources for planar world expansion were spoils from battles in the frontlines, gathered from high-level true demons and demonized aliens. On top of that, the storage equipment looted from the three demon kings devoured by Mech No. 1 had also ended up in Luo Fei’s hands, containing even more resources.

Chen Chu exhaled slowly, then poured out all of the Life Crystals. After that, he reached his hand into the void. Black winds howled. Within the planar world of earth, fire, wind, and lightning, which had already expanded to over 1,800 kilometers, a giant hand appeared in the air. Then, a storage ring dropped from its palm.

Bang!

A thunderbolt lit up the heavens and earth as it struck the ring, blasting it open. In an instant, dozens of dazzling items emerged. There were black crystal tree roots stretching dozens of meters long, pulsing with spatial force; stones filled with molten magma; and a pearl the size of a small boulder, as if it contained an entire micro-world inside.

Boom!

The entire planar world erupted once more. Bathed in dense world force and spatial energy, it began expanding again at astonishing speed. Meanwhile, Chen Chu had already withdrawn his right hand. He picked up a golden Life Crystal, and a voice rang out in his mind. Convert to attribute points.

[You have converted one high-purity Life Crystal and gained 3,980 attribute points.] frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

[You have converted one high-purity Life Crystal and gained 1,024 attribute points...]

As Chen Chu continued converting the Life Crystals, his attribute points, which was previously down to just over 30, skyrocketed at an alarming rate. In no time, they surpassed 30,000, then to 50,000. By the time all of the Life Crystals had been used up, the translucent interface displayed a total of 218,094 attribute points.

Chen Chu smiled. "Now I can use them freely again. Burn a thousand points to envelop the Dragon Emperor."

Ever since breaking through to the mythical level, Chen Chu typically burned 10,000 attribute points at a time. This was the only way he could sustain law contemplation through the night. This time, however, he was cultivating the Spectral Beast Control Seal, and it wouldn’t require nearly as much.

Boom!

In an instant, a surge of enhancement energy erupted within Chen Chu’s body. It traveled through his soul passage and enveloped the Destructive Dragon Emperor, still in the middle of a feat in the Chaotic Region.

The black-and-red colossal beast froze just as it tore a massive chunk of flesh from its prey. Standing still, blood seeped from between its fangs, trickling down the corners of its mouth like a stream.
