Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 684: Indestructible Golden Body, Unprecedented in History (III)
Chapter 684: Indestructible Golden Body, Unprecedented in History (III)
Deep within the destruction zone over ten thousand kilometers above the sky, an aged figure stood tall as he watched Chen Chu transform into a streak of light and shoot off into the distance.
The Primordial King radiated an invisible yet oppressive aura that seemed to suppress the entire universe. The destructive astral winds that tore through space were forcefully stilled within a range of dozens of kilometers under his presence.
Opposite him, a towering figure enshrouded in golden divine light remained indistinct, yet the aura he exuded was even more terrifying—like an eternal, indestructible star.
Golden radiance flowed around the figure as he slowly spoke, his voice echoing through time and space. "You actually assigned a divine-king-level powerhouse to protect his path. It seems you value him greatly."
The Primordial King nodded slowly, his aged voice carrying weight. "Of course we do. Whether it’s myself, Qian Tian, or Celestial, we all place great hopes in him."
He then shifted the topic. "You witnessed that battle just now. What do you think?"
"A talent of unparalleled brilliance, unprecedented in history." The golden-cloaked figure’s voice resonated, carrying an underlying power that shook the fabric of space-time.
"His life-engraving wheel is only seventeen. According to your cultivation system, humans can only begin cultivating at sixteen, so he has cultivated for merely one year.
"Yet in that single year, he went from an ordinary being to transcendent, and even stepped into the mythical level. Such cultivation speed... In the tens of thousands of years I have existed, I have never seen anything like it.
"And it’s not just his cultivation speed. His foundation is formidable. During his battle just now, I sensed four high-level laws from him, as well as a concealed fluctuation that surpasses even high-level laws.
"Moreover, at the moment he killed Brute, I detected an immense soul fluctuation—shaped like a massive black seal. He has also mastered an incredibly powerful soul law."
Even Tarodell couldn’t hide his amazement as he spoke. The sheer monstrous talent of this human genius exceeded even his wildest imagination.
Taking a deep breath, Tarodell’s voice shook slightly as he said, "For someone this extraordinary to be released, it seems you truly are planning to eradicate the Demon Cult Alliance."
The two conversed in a relaxed manner, entirely unlike the rumored neutrality and unfamiliarity that the outside world assumed.
The Primordial King nodded. "Indeed. Recently, the Abyssal Battlefield encountered an anomaly—its surroundings were isolated by the aftershocks of a primordial star that descended from the heavens.
"At present, the only battlefield between humanity and the Purgatory Clan that remains is the Sky Battlefield. However, due to the unique terrain there, it cannot accommodate two Purgatory Demon Clan empires.
"Thus, before a new battlefield is opened, we can divert some of our forces to eliminate the threat posed by the demon cults and focus entirely on expanding our rear resources.
"Over the years, the Purgatory Clan has sent three demon kings to establish the Demon God Cult, yet they have not continued reinforcing it. But even with the temptation of Chen Chu, they have not summoned a peak great demon king. It seems they have sensed something."
"They likely haven't discovered our agreement. It’s just that they have lost too many demon kings to your race recently, so they’ve become more cautious," said Tarodell.
"That is possible as well..." replied the Primordial King.
As the two supreme powerhouses conversed, Chen Chu had already traversed over ten thousand kilometers, arriving outside the divine region of the Giant Cult. He halted mid-air, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.
Several kilometers away, atop a mountain peak thousands of meters high, Ji Wuji and Hong Zhen concealed themselves beneath a large leaf of a towering tree, their smart watches emitting faint signals.
Noticing Chen Chu's gaze upon them, Ji Wuji flashed onto a nearby leaf, waving at him.
In an instant, Chen Chu transformed into a golden streak, appearing before them. Surprised, he asked, "Ji Wuji, Brother Hong, what brings you here?"
As Chen Chu approached, an invisible pressure emanated from him, making it difficult for even the late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm Hong Zhen to bear, his eyes revealing astonishment.
Dressed in snow-white attire, the burly Ji Wuji felt his legs weaken, nearly collapsing onto the leaf. He quickly forced a wry smile.
"Chen Chu, please restrain your aura. We are already aware of your ascension to king."
"So, you already knew." Chen Chu smiled, retracting the invisible pressure, his demeanor calm and unbothered.
Ji Wuji and Hong Zhen both sighed in relief, then exchanged wry smiles. They hadn't expected the usually composed Chen Chu to have such a side.
Due to his cultivation, everyone had overlooked the fact that Chen Chu was merely a seventeen-year-old youth.
Hong Zhen spoke up. "Brother Chen, we're here because we accepted a mission concerning the Giant Cult. In recent years, they’ve has been acting mysteriously. It's because Gai, the Sky-Lifting Giant God, discovered an ancient ruin and has been trying to access it, even collaborating with the other cults.
"Recent information suggests that within this ruin lies the secret to breaking through to the heavenly king level, and possibly a treasure that can sever a divine region. So we've intensified our surveillance on him. We even dispatched a king-level powerhouse to lurk around the Giant Cult's divine region.
"But unexpectedly, Gai hasn't been in the region for a long time. The entire area is guarded only by an archbishop of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, along with some cultists and alien followers."
"He's not there? No, Gai shouldn't have left long ago." Chen Chu narrowed his eyes.
Earlier, when he broke through to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, the collapse of the Black Forbidden Zone had swept him to the edge of the Alliance of Gods, where he saved Ji Wuji and others.
After escorting them to Jingtai's Immortal Region, he sensed a probing force and exchanged a distant blow with Gai using his Void Death Eyes.
Based on the perceived distance and direction, Gai should have been in his divine region at that time, likely leaving after their encounter.
Chen Chu pondered. "My goal is to completely suppress the Demon Cult Alliance and secure our rear. Even if Gai isn't present, his region cannot be left intact."
For deities who had refined their divine regions, everything was interconnected. If the divine region was forcibly destroyed, their main body would suffer severe damage, as it was a fundamental part of them.
Boom!
Under Ji Wuji and Hong Zhen’s astonished gazes, the distant horizon erupted. Terrifying energy waves exploded, golden flames illuminating the sky.
In just over ten minutes, the vast area spanning thousands of kilometers turned into a sea of fire. The ground shattered, mountains collapsed, alien cities were erased, and countless cultists turned to ash in despair.
As Chen Chu unleashed his divine power without restraint, using his Void Death Eyes to trace the Giant God's laws and destroy the divine region, far away, deep within the mythical world, amid a collapsed mountainside covered in vines, stood a stone palace ruin.
At its entrance, the burly Gai's expression changed, his aura plummeting. Demonic qi surged, creating white shockwaves that swept across kilometers.
Amid the surging demonic qi, Gai's expression turned grim. He turned toward the direction of the Alliance of Gods, his voice icy. "My divine region has been destroyed. Did they deploy a heavenly-king-level powerhouse?"
To annihilate a mythical powerhouse's refined divine region required at least a heavenly-king-level entity, as mythical beings lacked sufficient divine law power for such a feat.
What further darkened Gai's expression was the Alliance of Gods' lack of response, allowing a human heavenly king to penetrate the territory and obliterate his divine region.
"These damned alien races are indeed untrustworthy." Suppressing his rage, Gai closed his eyes again.
Before him, a gray stone disc rotated slowly, emitting subtle fluctuations that resonated with the ruins as it engaged in some form of decryption.
This stone disc was the key to unlocking the ruin's gate. Originally, there were two, but one had been in the hands of Akunus, the Blood God.
They had planned to explore the ruin together, but Akunus's true form was destroyed by Heavenly King Xuanwu. Though he escaped using the Blood God's Codex, he hadn't been seen since.
Recently, his divine region collapsed, indicating his demise, and the stone disc vanished with him. Gai had been searching for Akunus, but found no clues.
On top of that, several of his bishops perished not long ago. Using faith as a link, he recalled their remnants and exchanged a distant blow with a pair of black and gold vertical pupils.
After that encounter, he sensed an approaching danger and promptly left his divine region, coming here to use the ruin's power to break through.
However, with only one key, he couldn't open the gate, and had to slowly erode the barriers using the stone disc's connection.
