Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 476: The True Martial Unity, Throughout The Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am The Honored One

The True Martial Phantom was already 99% materialized, and Chen Chu had reached the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Realm. At this stage, the next step was to merge his essence and spirit to break through to the Eighth Realm.

Under normal circumstances, many advanced cultivators would remain stuck at this checkpoint for a long time, especially those who cultivated top-level secret scriptures from predecessors. Since these paths didn’t fully align with their own, many conflicts would arise at this stage, requiring them to resolve issues bit by bit.

However, for Chen Chu, who had created his own secret scripture and had a True Martial Phantom perfectly attuned to his being, these challenges didn’t pose a problem.

Yet, he halted his progress here, as there were still unresolved matters.

Whoosh!

The transcendent energy surged, and the towering giant with three heads and six arms behind Chen Chu began to shrink rapidly, disappearing into his body in the blink of an eye. He then retrieved the Profound Yellow Stone from his Sumeru Bracelet.

Originally, he had planned to perfect the four external construct worlds slowly after breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

However, during his contemplation on the path of heavenly kings, he had gained insight into the origin of a micro-world, understanding the true essence of worlds. Thus, he decided to complete the process ahead of time.

By then, once the True Martial Unity was achieved, the four illusory spaces would gain the special properties of a world through the connection between heaven and man.

Of course, at the beginning stage, these would merely be illusory micro-worlds, and their enhancement wouldn't be overwhelming. Just like cultivation, their strength would need to be gradually increased.

Consume 1,000 attribute points to enter an epiphany state.

As the thought echoed in Chen Chu's mind, 1,000 attribute points vanished instantly, burning and transforming into a profound contemplation aura that enveloped him.

In this state, Chen Chu's thinking and comprehension abilities skyrocketed by several times, and the flashes of inspiration in his mind turned him into a genius of sudden epiphanies.

Boom!

Chen Chu's consciousness entered the Profound Yellow Stone, and immediately, an infinite, oppressive force pressed in from all directions, as though he was being crushed beneath a landmass thousands of meters deep.

What was the earth? It was the mountains, the soil, the rocks. At the same time, it was the support—the weight that bore all things.

In his epiphany state, combined with the foundation of his true martial art, Chen Chu's contemplation of the profound essence of the earth contained within the Yellow Stone advanced rapidly.

However, the Yellow Stone only contained the essence of the earth law, not the complete law itself. Otherwise... well, there was no otherwise.

If it had truly held the complete earth law, even Yan Ruoyi wouldn't have casually given it away, as such a divine object could create a king. Objects like this were rare even in the mythical world, comparable to the innate rune on the Silver Colossal Dragon’s forehead.

About four hours later, Chen Chu slowly withdrew his consciousness from the Yellow Stone, a faint yellow phantom of the earth flickering in his eyes.

"The weight of the earth, huh?"

After a brief silence, Chen Chu put the Yellow Stone away and took out the Black Gale Crystal from his Sumeru Bracelet. Instantly, the cultivation room was filled with howling winds.

Unlike the restrained essence of the Yellow Stone, the essence of the Gale Crystal was vividly apparent. Until Chen Chu had stored it away earlier, it had constantly attracted black gales that eroded a nearby relic.

Boom!

Chen Chu’s consciousness entered the Gale Crystal, and a violent, sharp storm immediately assaulted him.

On the Blue Planet, wind was a natural phenomenon caused by the horizontal flow of air, where surface air rose due to heat and collided with cold air in the higher atmosphere.

However, in the Transcendence Era, wind was an outward manifestation of a certain kind of power from heaven and earth.

As time passed, wisps of tangible black gales appeared around Chen Chu, swirling around him and gradually forming a tornado.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the sealed environment, the black tornado stirred the air within the cultivation room, roaring and rumbling as it caused faint cracks to appear on the ground. However, the cultivation room had been fortified with durability and soundproofing runes, so these tremors and anomalies were contained.

After several hours, Chen Chu suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying, oppressive aura exploded from his body.

Boom!

The intense pressure caused the surrounding air to explode in an instant, forming a white, semi-circular shockwave that scattered the black tornado around him.

At the same time, his attribute points burned out, and the contemplation aura around him slowly dissipated.

Looking at the Gale Crystal in his hand, Chen Chu softly muttered, "1,000 attribute points... saved me a month's worth of time. I guess it wasn’t a bad deal."

Had it not been for the attribute points, Chen Chu estimated it would have taken him a month to contemplate the essence of the Profound Yellow Stone and Black Gale Crystal. Now, he had bypassed that time entirely.

After resting for a moment, Chen Chu once again consumed 1,000 attribute points, re-entering the epiphany state.

Having contemplated the runes of the two types of law essence, the next step was to condense those runes onto the Battle Phantom’s light wheels and complete the preliminary construction of his world.

For Chen Chu, this process was simple.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Battle Phantom stood tall, wielding a halberd. The light wheels behind its head spun as Chen Chu condensed his spiritual will, causing yellow rune sequence chains to emerge on the outermost light wheel.

When the yellow runes fully occupied the ring and the final sequence chain connected, the wheel trembled, and a heavy aura emanated from it.

Next came the wind-based wheel. Under Chen Chu’s vast and unrelenting spiritual will, black rune sequence chains appeared one after another, gradually covering the ring.

When the wind rune sequence chains were also fully formed, the four major light wheels behind the battle phantom trembled together, exuding a faint, stable, and harmonious aura.

"It's finally done."

Chen Chu opened his eyes, a faint sense of satisfaction flickering within them.

From the moment he had condensed the True Martial Phantom, he had been working toward integrating a part of the gene martial art and external construct concept from mechs into his War God Body. However, it had remained incomplete until now.

At last, the runes for the four external construct worlds had been completed.

... It also seemed that only about a month had passed since his breakthrough to the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

One realm per month? Not bad.

Chen Chu nodded in satisfaction, then reached out to take down the outermost earth gear from his battle armor and picked up the Profound Yellow Stone, a resource comparable to god-level treasures.

Consume attribute points to enhance the earth gear.

The four light wheels of the battle phantom had condensed four attributes, inscribing basic spatial runes, while the gear, formed from the horn of a level 8 colossal beast, served as the medium.

The final step was to enhance the gear to a god-level state, allowing it to merge with the corresponding light ring as an energy-based entity and become part of an illusory world.

It was a complex and arduous process. This was also the reason why few cultivators involved themselves in the creation of these kinds of worlds before reaching the king level. Even in West Meng’s domain, external construct modules were used as substitutes for other components, like batteries.

As Chen Chu’s thoughts rang out in his mind, his attribute points decreased from 23,130 to 22,630. Pure white light spread from his palm, enveloping the Profound Yellow Stone. Under the white glow, the Yellow Stone quickly dissolved into a transparent liquid, coating the earth gear.

White flames erupted and burned fiercely. Countless yellow rune sequence chains appeared on the surface of the earth gear, representing the essence of the earth law. Gradually, they transformed into a semi-transparent energy state.

Boom!

Behind Chen Chu, the thirty-meter-tall battle phantom appeared once again, slowly bending down and reaching out its massive hands to grasp the now semi-transparent yellow gear.

Hum!

Within the phantom’s colossal hands, the earth gear began to expand, growing to several meters in size in the blink of an eye. The phantom carefully placed it behind its head.

Boom!

When the earth-based light wheel and the earth gear overlapped and fused, the entire cultivation room trembled slightly, inexplicably becoming heavier.

In that moment, the earth world was fully formed, transforming into a massive light wheel that revolved behind the phantom’s head and giving off an aura of real existence.

After earth came the fire wheel. Chen Chu consumed 500 attribute points to enhance the golden-red crystal horn, smelted from the flame of the Nine-Headed Serpent, and finally merged it with the light wheel.

In an instant, the cultivation room became scorching hot, the temperature rapidly climbing to over a hundred degrees Celsius. The air turned dry and blistering.

After the fire wheel came wind, merging with the Black Gale Crystal, and lastly lightning, fusing with the blue-black crystal smelted from the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor’s dorsal fin.

Boom!

As the four light wheels united, the light behind the battle phantom’s head intensified.

With halos of yellow, gold, black, and blue radiating from behind it, the phantom appeared like a primeval deity from myth, increasingly sacred and majestic.

"It's finally complete." Chen Chu’s eyes revealed a look of anticipation as he slowly closed them. The towering phantom behind him merged into his body in an instant.

Boom!

The moment the phantom merged with Chen Chu, his cells erupted, and an indescribably vast life force exploded from the depths of his body.
