"Strange, why do I feel like that fallen star looks somewhat familiar?" As Luo Fei gazed at the projection of the falling star slowly dissipating above the sky, a faint doubt appeared in her eyes. After all, she knew nothing about any primordial existence.
Within her circle, the only one who had the potential to attain the primordial level was Chen Chu, but when he left more than two months ago Chen Chu had only just broken through to the true spirit level, still far from the primordial level. It was impossible for him to become a primordial being in just two months, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Fei shook her head, realizing she was overthinking. Since she was already awake, she didn't continue sleeping.
Hum!
The massive golden-white mech quivered slightly, and from the center of its brows, a figure in a flowing white dress slowly condensed, her left hand holding an ancient-looking imperial seal.
After Chen Chu had cleaved out a time clone and fused it with the Heavenly Dao Seal, he had condensed another imperial seal infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao and entrusted it to Luo Fei. This ensured that after Chen Chu left, the Heavenly Dao clone fused with the principles couldn't easily appear in the world to exercise the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
Boom!
Luo Fei's consciousness trembled. Following the endless spread of Heavenly Dao power, she descended across vast time and space to the Blue Planet in an instant, her gaze falling on Wujiang City.
"Manager Zhang, here are two documents that need your signature, the production material declaration for next month."
"Let me see." In the office, Zhang Xiaolan carefully examined the documents handed to her by the staff. Finding no problems, she signed her name. "When you head back, tell the warehouse supervisor to pay attention to the ores imported from Baiyue. The last batch had too many impurities. If the quality remains this poor next time, change to another mining company.
"Yes, Manager Zhang." The staff member nodded politely.
Watching the staff member leave, Zhang Xiaolan lowered her head again and busied herself with work. Although she didn't need to handle much on a daily basis, after serving as deputy general manager of the Metallurgy Groupe for two years, she had accumulated considerable experience, and her executive presence had grown stronger.
Of course, Zhang Xiaolan herself had little interest in power or status. This position had been offered to her at the request of the group's board of directors. Otherwise, with Chen Chu being one of the Federation's top-level powerhouses, it wouldn't have been difficult for Zhang Xiaolan to become president of an entire nation if she wished.
Retracting her will from Wujiang City, Luo Fei turned her gaze beyond the Solar System, entering the mythical world through the Eternal Divine Tree's passage. Unlike in the Solar System, where her thoughts could cross billions of kilometers in an instant, within the mythical world her perception was somewhat suppressed and moved more slowly.
Her will extended along the territory of the Human Federation. As she silently invoked the name "Chen Hu," her will quickly reached the edge of the Forbidden Zone Battlefield.
There, on the shattered ground, a towering figure three meters tall, clad in golden battle armor, stood upon the void, exuding an utterly domineering and majestic might that enveloped the heavens and earth. Though only at the peak of the mythical level, even Heavenly King Youming nearby faintly found his aura suppressed by Chen Hu.
Youming gravely said, "I didn't expect that Xingtian[1] Battle Demon to escape. It was merely a late-stage mythical demonized being, yet so difficult to kill."
Chen Hu, burly and resolute, shook his head slightly. "I let it escape on purpose, Sir."
"On purpose?" Youming was surprised.
Chen Hu nodded, his deep voice echoing. "This demon is somewhat unusual. I saw traces of humanity in it. Most likely, it was once a human who became demonized. Moreover, despite the rampage of demonized beings these days, from the time this Xingtian Demon appeared until now, it hasn't killed a single human cultivator. So I want to see if it can be subdued and brought back into the human race."
The Purgatory Demon Clan had been annihilated, yet the dark demonic qi imbued with the power of laws during that battle had nearly destroyed everything, demonizing most creatures across millions of kilometers of the Forbidden Zone Battlefield. Thus, after the Human Federation, the Heavenly Feathered Race, and the Faerie Race divided their territories, they had busied themselves with dealing with demonized beasts.
These demonized beings also served as trials for advanced cultivators above the Seventh Heavenly Realm with notable talent, including prodigies like Chen Hu, who had only recently broken through to the mythical level. As leader of the Demon Suppression Plan, Chen Hu's targets were precisely those few demonized beings that had reached the mythical level.
For instance, the escaped Xingtian Battle Demon. It wielded a black battle axe, it had mastered the laws of dark earth and dark gravity, and its entire body was forged like iron alloy. With its hulking frame and shoulders so thick they nearly connected with its head, it had been named Xingtian[2].
To have cultivated for less than a year and already reached the peak of the mythical level... truly worthy of being his younger brother,Luo Fei marveled inwardly, before withdrawing her will from the battlefield.
Of course, Chen Hu's rapid cultivation wasn't only due to his extraordinary talent and fate comparable to a child of the plane, but also because he had a far more terrifying elder brother.
As Luo Fei's will retreated, she paused slightly. Outside Sky Base City, Yi Rui sat at the edge of a forest, panting heavily. Nearby lay the corpse of a colossal beast. Two years had passed, and this martial arts representative of Class Three in Nantian Martial Arts High School had seized the opportunity of the golden age to break through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm.
Two years ago, such cultivation at this age would have made him the foremost of East Xia's southern youth, as even the geniuses in their final year of high school on the southern battlefield were only at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Realm.
However, in this current mythical era, a high school senior at the Seventh Heavenly Realm was only considered decent. In just two years, those who had started at the same line had already grown vastly apart. Not even mentioning herself and Chen Chu, Xia Youhui and Lin Xue were also likely on the verge of reaching the mythical level.
Deep within the blazing star, Luo Fei sighed in her heart, then slowly turned back, merging into Mech No.1's brow to resume seclusion and forge the Primordial Azure Sky.
Screech!
Not far from the golden-white mech, a golden avian with three legs, its body covered in gleaming feathers and scales, beat its wings. Immediately, the solar depths roiled with violent energy.
***
The Primordial Realm was the starting point in the pursuit of eternity. It was the process of transforming from a world-level being of principles into a chaotic primordial creature. That was why even the Dragon Emperor of the End dared not be careless and chose to return to the mythical world.
To avoid rejection, it had completely unleashed the power of its heavenly-tier bloodline, invoking the true name imprinted deep within the mythical world's origin. Unlike those colossal beasts in the Sea of Chaos that only achieved heavenly-tier bloodlines after breaking through to the Seventh Primordial Heaven, the Dragon Emperor's heavenly-tier bloodline was something special. It had been born within the mythical world itself, as part of "Heaven." In a sense, it could be considered a half "son" of the mythical world. That was why it hadn't been rejected this time.
However, as they watched its black-and-red figure plunge into the mythical world, the three Divine Void Dragons in the silver world all widened their eyes.
Zijun, stretching its tail straight, let out a disbelieving roar.How could this be... A heavenly-tier bloodline!
Zihuang rumbled slowly.No wonder its growth is so exaggerated, and its strength so extraordinary.
Even the Silver Divine Dragon outside the world felt shaken.I never imagined a colossal beast could attain a heavenly-tier bloodline before reaching the Seventh Primordial Heaven. But even if it had a heavenly-tier bloodline, a colossal beast couldn't enter the vast world after attaining the primordial level. Could it be the Eternal King?
Gasp!
The Silver Divine Dragon's eyes widened. It felt as though it had stumbled upon a world-shaking secret. The great Eternal King had offspring!
While the Divine Void Dragons filled their minds with speculation, the Dragon Emperor had already pierced through the sky of the mythical world, descending into a region shrouded in black mist.
Boom!
The heavens and earth shook across hundreds of millions of kilometers. A wave of black-red light exploded outward, annihilating all of the black mist in its path. Along with the mist, countless creatures that had dwelled within it also perished in an instant.
This was the mythical world. Weak beings had no hold over their own fate. They didn't even need to be targeted; just the aftershock of a mighty creature's descent was enough to turn them all to ash.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Across the heavens flashed blood-red and pitch-black lightning, each arc carrying an aura of destruction and chaos. At the center of that maelstrom, where all things had turned to chaos, the Dragon Emperor, now grown to a million meters long, slowly closed its eyes and folded its wings.
Before it fell asleep, a layer of pitch-black light covered the Silver Colossal Dragon on its back.
The great Saixitia... so... tired, I just want... to sleep...The Silver Dragon shook its head groggily, its eyes growing hazy before it too drifted into slumber.
Under the azure radiance, the Silver Dragon's emperor-level bloodline surged with vitality. Bathed in the primordial aura released from the Dragon Emperor's breakthrough, its bloodline began another metamorphosis. Countless intricate runes appeared out of nowhere, inscribed into its very flesh. They carried an indescribable profundity, with a meaning faintly akin to "fate" or "fortune."
Under the influence of eternity and primordial qi, the interwoven blessings and calamities of luck that had always clung to the Silver Dragon were on the verge of materializing into a top-level innate ability.
***
When the Dragon Emperor broke through to the primordial level, Chen Chu, who was one with it, also reacted strongly.
Boom!
Inside the Primordial Origin Sky Tower, where Chen Chu had been sitting cross-legged, his aura suddenly surged. The invisible force of primordial might almost shattered the supreme weapon.
"Brother Chen, what's happening!?" Shi Feirou, standing on the bridge, cried out in alarm, whipping her head around.
"It's nothing. I merely gained some insight." Chen Chu opened his eyes.
Arcs of black and blood-red lightning leapt within them. Even strands of his hair crackled faintly with red-black electric currents. The arcs radiated an aura of annihilation so intense that Shi Feirou felt her heart pound uncontrollably. It seemed as though just one bolt could reduce her to ashes.
As expected of Big Brother Chen,Shi Feirou marveled again. A talent that grew stronger with every passing moment was truly terrifying. She had a sudden premonition; it likely wouldn't be long before Chen Chu broke through to the primordial level.
However, it wasn't only Shi Feirou who was surprised. Chen Chu himself was astonished at the changes in the Dragon Emperor. As it broke through, the Chaotic End principle that once united within it split apart, dividing into two primordial principles: Supreme Chaos and Supreme Destructive End.
Moreover, under the ceaseless influx of eternal qi, a second life-bound ability was condensing within it. This qi, a force similar to creation power but even greater, had propelled the Dragon Emperor directly to the primordial level.
What shocked Chen Chu most was that with the Dragon Emperor's breakthrough, the once-separate entities of beast and body had begun to influence one another.
For instance, the two primordial principles now undergoing transformation were flowing through the soul passage into Chen Chu's body, tempering his true form. His True Demon God Form, already at the primordial level, was growing stronger at a startling pace.
Of course, this was limited by the passage, and Chen Chu could only draw on a fraction of the Primordial Chaos and Primordial Destruction principles. However, at this rate of tempering, he reckoned that without relying on the origin of a world or any chaotic divine objects, he could cultivate to the peak of the true spirit level in no more than five months. His cultivation speed had increased dozens of times over.
"Primordial beings can influence one another?" A faint gleam of excitement surfaced in Chen Chu's eyes.
The cultivation boost from this change was only secondary. What mattered most was the interaction between his human and colossal beast bodies. It meant that once Chen Chu reached the primordial level, both his human form and colossal beast avatar would likely be able to wield each other's principles, even share innate and divine abilities.
At that time, whether Chen Chu or the Dragon Emperor, their power would become even more invincible. For instance, when the Dragon Emperor assumed the End Dragon form and opened the Ten-Fold Heavenly Gates, its strength would instantly multiply hundreds of times beyond its foundation. That alone showed how fearsome it was.
It was practically a weakened version of Divine Fusion. Thus, even Chen Chu felt his heart surge with excitement and anticipation.
"Brother Chen, we're about to enter the cosmic rift. Beyond it lies the Heavenly Pool Forbidden Zone."
Chen Chu nodded. "So we've arrived."
Boom!
In the pitch-black starry sky, the thousand-kilometer battle sword burst from the turbulent currents of space-time, surging forward like a silver ray as it plunged into the purple rift ahead.
The Heavenly Pool Forbidden Zone was a special place, akin to a bubble of a Great Thousand World. Near its entrance where it connected to the chaotic cosmos, forces from every corner had gathered. Floating in the void were fortress-palaces radiating multi-colored divine light.
Among these, the strongest were the human powerhouses already present and the Shadow War God Race, locked in standoff. Strongest not only because both factions had late-stage true-spirit-level experts presiding, but also because they commanded a greater number of ancient-titan-level powerhouses.
By contrast, the alien races camped at the edges of the entrance were far weaker. Their leaders were at best peak-ancient-titan-level divine kings, followed only by two or three titan-level chief gods.
Such power could be annihilated entirely by a single ten-thousand-man detachment of black-armored guards. Thus, as the thirty-thousand Black-Armored Imperial Guards of the human side arrayed themselves in the starry sky, all those mighty civilizations and top-level alien experts revealed deep wariness in their eyes.
The might of a peak civilization was overwhelming. Even a vanguard squad carried a late-stage true-spirit-level expert, several ancient-titan-level divine kings, and an army of hundreds of thousands.
While the alien races were still marveling at the strength of the human divine regions, suddenly the space above the human palaces ruptured, and a colossal silver battle sword slowly emerged.
At the forefront of the Black-Armored Imperial Guards, a middle-aged man seated upon a colossal beast tens of thousands of meters long looked up, slightly surprised at the sight. "The Primordial Origin Sky Tower... Why has the Jiantian Palace Master of the Flamewheel Dynasty come here?"
1. Xingtian is a Chinese deity who fights against the Supreme Divinity, not giving up even after the event of his decapitation. ☜
2. Losing the fight for supremacy, Xingtian was beheaded and his head buried in Changyang Mountain. Nevertheless, headless, with a shield in one hand and a battle axe in the other, he continues the fight, using his nipples as eyes and his bellybutton as a mouth. ☜
