Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 838: Welcome, Blade King! (II)

As half of Chen Chu began cultivating the Spectral Beast Control Seal, he mentally commanded, Consume 7,000 attribute points. Initiate maximum enhancement of the True Great Sun Body.

All six body enhancement arts Chen Chu obtained in the Lost World had already been cultivated to the ninth stage. At this level, what came next was to enhance them to the maximum and condense ability runes.

Boom!

A surge of blazing qi erupted inside Chen Chu’s body, igniting into fierce white flames that radiated extreme heat and blinding light. The light pierced through his void domain and illuminated the outer world.

The released energy gathered together, forming a Great Sun phantom several hundred meters wide. Its peak Ninth Heavenly Realm power fluctuations instantly drew the attention of nearby special forces stationed on duty.

Chirp!

A sharp cry rang out through the void. The Great Sun phantom flared brilliantly, and at its center, the shadow of a flying bird slowly emerged. Its silhouette was faint, but distinct, with three legs beneath its belly.

Kilometers of sky around the bird trembled. Even though violent winds roared across the heavens, blotting out the sun, red sunlight pierced the void and poured in. It carried energy similar to the stars in the solar system, infused with intense flames. The fire burning around Chen Chu surged even higher, gradually merging with the great Great Sun phantom behind him.

At the heart of the Great Sun, Chen Chu sat cross-legged, surrounded by blazing flames. Behind him, a golden crow danced through the air, like one of the primordial deities born from the sun itself, filling the atmosphere with divinity and majesty.

"No wonder they call him the Divine Might King. Even his cultivation is creating such a massive phenomenon." Despite that, the special forces stationed nearby knew Chen Chu was in seclusion for cultivation. After a brief glance, they paid it no mind.

After all, Chen Chu was the Divine Might King, who had claimed the throne of kingship in just one year.

Whoosh!

Half an hour later, the blazing sun suddenly contracted. It collapsed into countless white flames that vanished into Chen Chu’s eyes, and a faint image of a Great Sun lingered within his gaze. Across his body, pale white markings traced his skin, radiating a subtle yet overwhelming heat and dominance.

The body enhancement arts were focused on strengthening one’s physique. Because Chen Chu’s body was already extraordinarily powerful, pushing the True Great Sun Body to its limits only increased his physical strength slightly.

However, that wasn’t his goal to begin with. His eyes shifted to the translucent interface hovering in front of him.

[Rune] Great Sun

- A unique rune condensed from qi and solar energy. When activated, it boosts flame-based power tenfold, and enhances flame-related laws fivefold. In its passive state, it can absorb all forms of solar energy and convert it into personal power.

- Note: Absorption and conversion speed depend on the strength of the user's physique.

Compared to the Dark Star rune, which could absorb heavy metal elements to enhance the body, the Great Sun rune primarily enhanced firepower and came with a passive absorption ability. The tenfold boost in flame power directly elevated Chen Chu’s mastery over the Great Heavenly Sun Flame Law, pushing its might to just below the Law of Power.

This outcome was exactly what he had expected. After all, this was a top-level art that allowed the cultivator to reach the Ninth Heavenly Realm directly. Once they achieved the advanced stage, they could even begin to touch upon the laws. The runes obtained through maximum enhancement had already reached the level of a semi-law.

Consume 7,000 attribute points. Initiate maximum enhancement of the Nine Transformations of the Azure Dragon. As the points disappeared, a surge of qi tied to the Azure Dragon’s Nine Transformations erupted within Chen Chu. A red glow enveloped his entire body, penetrating into every corner of his being.

The dragon’s bloodline within him activated. Faint and nearly imperceptible currents of power, drawn from the vital blood essence of the Destructive Dragon Emperor that had merged with his body long ago, began to converge.

A fierce and commanding dragon's roar erupted from within Chen Chu, gradually condensing into the phantom of a black-and-red Dragon Emperor. While it bore some resemblance to the Dragon Emperor, it was also distinctly different; it was a sleek, majestic eastern dragon, cloaked in black and red, radiating a terrifying aura. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

As the image of the phantom grew clearer, a strange and powerful presence spread. A heavenly aura that transcended all living beings coiled through the clouds. Just as the rune was about to fully form, however, the Azure Dragon phantom trembled slightly. A powerful force began to stir from the resistance within.

As expected, there’s a conflict, Chen Chu thought as his expression tightened. Consume another 3,000 attribute points. Maximize the enhancement of the Nine Transformations of the Azure Dragon again.

Boom!

The moment the 3,000 points vanished, they transformed into an even more massive wave of enhancement energy, surging into the phantom. The form, which had been on the verge of collapse, suddenly stabilized and recondensed.

The Nine Transformations of the Azure Dragon art could only be cultivated by someone with a dragon bloodline. However, the form it took was an eastern divine dragon. Because of this, when Chen Chu cultivated the art to an advanced stage, he already sensed that a conflict would arise when he tried to condense the rune.

After all, the vital blood essence within his body came from a pseudo-emperor-level lifeform, which meant it carried the bloodline strength of the Dragon Emperor. As a result, attempting to use this bloodline strength to forge the form of an Azure Dragon form would naturally create resistance. That was also why Chen Chu had not yet updated or purified the Dragon Emperor bloodline within him.

The bloodline aura of a pseudo-emperor-level lifeform already required 10,000 attribute points just to suppress. If it were the true vital blood essence of a Dragon Emperor from a heavenly-tier lifeform, who knew how many points it would take to condense a rune from that? Any updates to the bloodline would have to wait until after the Azure Dragon rune was successfully condensed.

While Chen Chu continued enhancing his arts and expanding his strength and foundation, far away in the Chaotic Region, the epiphany aura surrounding the Dragon Emperor gradually faded. In its eyes, a complex black-and-blue rune flickered, emanating an unsettling aura that made the Silver Colossal Dragon and other beasts instinctively feel uneasy.

The Silver Dragon took a step back and let out a roar, reflexively folding its wings over its rear. Ao Tian, don’t look at the great Saixitia like that. The great Saixitia is... getting a little scared.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon reacted the same way, backing away with its tail tucked beneath its body, then sitting down in a more elegant posture.

Uh... what kind of reaction is that? Their behavior left the Dragon Emperor slightly stunned and speechless. With a grunt, it chose to ignore them and turned its gaze to the Purple Sphere crouching on the ground, too terrified to move.

Crunch, crunch!

The Dragon Emperor chewed and swallowed the bloody chunks of flesh from the beast it had been devouring. Then it opened its mouth slightly, and a deep, thunderous voice echoed across the heavens. Do you want to live or die?

The Purple Sphere blinked its big eye frantically, its will trembling through the void as it nervously replied, Live! My lord, I want to live! Please don’t eat me!

The Dragon Emperor made its terms plain. You possess a strong and sharp soul will, which I cannot trust. If you want to live, then use the power of your soul essence to sign this contract rune.

As soon as it finished, a glowing blue rune appeared and expanded to dozens of meters wide. The Purple Sphere hesitated. Its powerful, intuitive soul ability told it that if it signed this contract, it would be enslaved to this black-and-red colossal beast. But if it didn’t do this...

I’ll sign!

Under the Dragon Emperor’s cold, piercing gaze, the Purple Sphere ultimately chose to yield. A strand of pure violet light shot out from its eye. The thread of soul essence radiated intense fluctuations as it slowly merged into the rune.

Boom!

The Spectral Beast Control Seal erupted with brilliant light and exploded into countless chains of ghostly blue rune sequences. They surged toward the Purple Sphere, enveloping its entire body, seeping into its flesh, and fusing with its soul.

With the contract completed, the Dragon Emperor’s deep roar resounded through the heavens. I am Ao Batian, the Thunder Fiery Dragon King of the Dragon Palace colossal beast empire. From this moment forward, you are the Dragon Palace’s Chief War General. You will be known as the Blade King and be under my direct command. Your mission is to build an army made up of mythical colossal beasts for the Dragon Palace.

This proclamation lifted the spirit of the Purple Sphere, who had braced for a fate of being just a lowly slave. Blade King... Chief War General of the Dragon Palace... These titles didn’t sound too bad at all. In addition, being directly under the leader of the Dragon Palace meant he was second in command, above all other beasts. It wasn’t a bad deal at all for the one known as the Beast King of Destruction.

Just then, however, the Silver Dragon roared, I am the great Saixitia, Great Dragon King of the Dragon Palace and this colossal beast empire. From now on, you are part of the Dragon Palace. For its future, do your best to carry out Ao Tian’s orders.

The Golden-Blue Dragon followed with a graceful low roar. And I, the great Thorsafi, am the Crystal Dragon King of the Dragon Palace.

Even the Single-Horned Kunpeng bounced over excitedly. And me! I’m the King of Black and White. Welcome, brother, to the Dragon Palace!

With the Beast King of Destruction now part of their ranks, the three other colossal beasts no longer treated it with hostility.

Staring at these mythical creatures, which it could easily kill with a single soul storm, the Purple Sphere was utterly baffled, as a bunch of questions popped up in its mind. What is going on here? How can that silver dragon claim to be the ruler of the Dragon Palace? It’s merely a mythical creature. Then what rank does the black-and-red beast hold? And how can such a powerful beast willingly submit to a weaker creature?
