Above the sky, ten thousand kilometers high, a massive silver vortex slowly dissipated. Two red crystals, each a hundred meters wide, floated in mid-air, their cores radiating massive fluctuations of life. Apart from them, a transparent crystal a kilometer across hovered in the air, sealing within it a pitch-black battle ax.

Far away, the ten-armed demon god phantom behind Chen Chu gradually faded. Feeling that nearly thirty percent of his strength had been drained, he drew in a heavy breath. "Tearing open a temporary passage connected to the chaotic heavens... Even with my current power joined with the beast body, it was still taxing."

Suppressing the emptiness gnawing within, Chen Chu put away the Life Lotus Seeds and the world-ending giant's Ax of Despair, then vanished. Next, he needed to catch up with the black Luan battleship, enter seclusion, and fuse the Primordial Genesis principle in preparation for breaking through to the true spirit level.

As for that black ax, forged from the death and despair of countless lives across a Great Thousand World, its rank stood half a step from the world-creation level. The blade could be fused into the Eight Desolations Creation Halberd, while its haft could merge into the Demon God Battle Armor.

***

In the chaotic void, perched on the Dragon Emperor of the End's shoulder, the Silver Colossal Dragon gazed with doubt at the vanishing Life Lotus Seeds and the incomplete black ax swallowed into the fading vortex.

Before it could speak, the Dragon Emperor, whose body was already over 270,000 meters long and still growing, let out a low, thunderous rumble that shook the void.Saixitia, let's continue.

No problem, Ao Tian!The Silver Dragon cried out in excitement. Its wings spread for ten thousand meters, and in a flash, it shot into the distance in a brilliant silver streak.

The Silver Dragon had only recently broken through to the peak of the titan level, but with its Life Lotus Seed, it would be guaranteed to ascend into the ancient titan level. Yet such an advance would bring about a long slumber. After discussing with the Dragon Emperor, it decided to wait until they reached Xiao Yi's clan before absorbing the seed and falling asleep. After all, they still needed its luck to stumble upon more natural treasures along the journey.

Atop the Dragon Emperor's head, the Little Purple Dragon shrank back into its hundred-meter form, curled beneath one of the colossal dragon horns. Its body glowed with dense purple radiance. As an innate heavenly dragon who had awakened the ability of creation and condensed the Law of Creation, its energy resonated almost perfectly with the Life Lotus Seed.

With the nourishment of the Creation Origin, its aura surged at a shocking pace. This was only natural. The Life Lotus Seed was a world-creation-level divine object capable of propelling a late-stage ancient titan directly to the peak, and, if cultivation allowed, even straight to the true spirit level.

On the swiftly flying black battleship, halfway up a mountain ridge, Chen Chu found the Primordial King sitting leisurely atop a palace roof, drinking wine.

Seeing Chen Chu appear out of thin air, the Primordial King laughed warmly. "Chen Chu, for you to suddenly come visit this old fossil, you must have something to say."

Chen Chu smiled lightly. "Sir, I'm about to enter seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the emperor level. I came to inform you first."

"...Break through to the emperor level? You only just reached the peak of the ancient titan level not long ago." The Primordial King was stunned.

Chen Chu nodded. "Indeed, it wasn't long ago. But lately, I've felt my second supreme principle fusing more quickly, and the bottleneck toward the true spirit level has loosened. So I plan to try."

Is that something a human should even say?The Primordial King's expression flickered between joy and frustration.

Joy, because Chen Chu's cultivation speed remained astonishing. Soon, their Federation's human branch would give birth to a civilization-emperor-level powerhouse, bolstering their foundation. After all, despite Chen Chu's overwhelming combat strength, which was far beyond many true-spirit-level beings, his realm was still only at the peak of the ancient titan level, leaving his deterrence somewhat lacking.

Frustration, because this man's breakthroughs came as casually as drinking water, while he himself had languished in the ancient titan level for decades, only recently advancing to the middle stage. He, who was once also hailed as a peerless prodigy, felt slow compared to Chen Chu.

As the Primordial King grimaced, Chen Chu soared upward. However, instead of heading to the battleship's prepared seclusion chambers, he went to the micro-world within the ship, entering the heart of a mountain towering more than ten thousand meters.

Boom!

The mountain shuddered. Its inner space shattered as Chen Chu ripped it open, creating a subspace spanning hundreds of kilometers. This breakthrough, fueled by the life-creation energy of the Life Lotus Seed, required no absorption of external power. All he needed was a quiet temporary subspace.

As the rift closed and darkness swallowed the subspace, Chen Chu smiled faintly. "Now, it is time to witness a miracle. Less than two years to the true spirit level... If word spread, it would shake all peak civilizations."

With that, the hundred-meter-wide red Life Lotus Seed appeared beneath him. A true form of a hundred-thousand-meter giant, clad in a black imperial robe that somewhat resembled an armor, rose behind him. This True Demon God Form, with three faces and ten arms like an ancient Heavenly Emperor, hefted the Soul Emperor Seal that bore the weight of an embryonic universe. Silently, a gray, slowly rotating sphere of light descended, enveloping Chen Chu and the subspace. Dim radiance glowed, veiling a terrifying aura within.

Besides the Primordial King and Zhenwu, none knew of Chen Chu's seclusion. The battleship thundered forward along its set course and tore through everything with Shi Feitong's principle power, bound for the Flamewheel Divine Region.

Two days later, wandering blindly through the chaotic void, the Silver Colossal Dragon stumbled upon something once again.Ao Tian, what is that?

It should be... a tree.

From the turbid currents of the void, the colossal black-and-red beast loomed. Its body had grown to 320,000 meters after devouring the world-ending giant. As the Dragon Emperor of the End drew up behind the Silver Dragon, its shadow engulfed the dragon's outstretched wings, 10,000 meters across.

In the pitch-black void more than a hundred thousand kilometers ahead of the two colossal beasts, a lake thousands of kilometers wide floated, its waters formed entirely of blue liquid. Currents swirled around the lake, and at its center stood a towering black tree, its trunk rising ten thousand meters high.

What unsettled the Silver Dragon and the Dragon Emperor was that, aside from the trunk, the tree had no branches or leaves. Instead, countless appendages extended outward, resembling both roots and tentacles. At the lowest point hung a white fruit, dozens of meters wide, radiating dense and pure chaotic energy.

The lake, the black tree, the countless tentacle-like appendages, and that chaotic fruit... Everything about the scene appeared uncanny. The Dragon Emperor stared at the black tree, then growled,It doesn't matter what it is. I'll eat first.

Boom!

The currents surrounding the lake erupted violently. Space shattered, and the vast head of a black dragon appeared, exuding a suffocating aura that threatened to devour the heavens and the earth.

Startled by the sudden change, the black tree shrieked, its cry disturbingly like that of a newborn child. At the same time, its tentacles swelled and shot skyward like colossal black pythons, tearing through the void in an attempt to block the dragon head descending upon it.

The shriek spread across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, its resonance waves carrying immense force. The Silver Dragon writhed in pain, its scales trembling under the assault.Ao Tian, great Saixitia feels awful. Quick, devour that thing!

Boom!

The Eternal Darkness Devourer ability manifested fully. With one bite of that black dragon head, the chaotic void exploded, collapsing into a massive black hole. The black tree, whose cry carried the strength of a beginning-stage true spirit, along with the white crystal fruit and the lake itself, all vanished in a single gulp.
