Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 425: Taixu Nether Light Scripture, Ji Wuji: Hes Cheating (I)

Amid the ruins, two beams of light, one golden and one black, clashed relentlessly, their speed surpassing twice the speed of sound. The battle had raged from the shattered mountainside all the way down to the mountain’s foot.

Each strike unleashed an explosion of force equivalent to the power of the Eighth Heavenly Realm. The shockwaves they caused nearly obliterated everything in the vicinity, leaving behind rifts hundreds of meters long and craters dozens of meters wide on the ground.

The Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd, imbued with golden true dragon power, exploded on contact with every strike, each explosion akin to that of an intercontinental missile, shaking the Dark Angel’s aura with every blow.

As the battle grew increasingly fierce, an explosive burst of darkness suddenly erupted from Chen Chu, transforming a two-hundred-meter radius into absolute darkness in the blink of an eye.

With the enhancement of the Double Void Pupils, the range of the Dark Veil had expanded dramatically and isolated the area from all senses, including aura.

Even the Angel couldn’t perceive anything around it within the shroud of absolute darkness. However, it reacted swiftly, shattering the ground beneath its feet and leaping high into the air to escape the Veil.

At that moment, an eight-meter-long halberd appeared in midair, its overwhelming aura condensing with such weight that it nearly collapsed the void, as it carried an indescribable power.

Boom!

The Dark Angel was forcefully suppressed by the might of the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd. As its feet touched the ground, the earth within a hundred-meter radius crumbled.

Simultaneously, a pair of black-gold vertical pupils appeared in the darkness, large enough to blot out the sky. With a mere glance, the space within twenty meters below them instantly condensed.

Bang!

Under the lock created by the Double Void Pupils, that area of space shattered like a mirror, with crisscrossing pitch-black rifts slicing everything in the vicinity into fragments.

The Dark Angel let out a savage roar, trying to resist by unleashing its dark power, but under the crushing force of the collapsing space, it only paused momentarily before being shattered into hundreds of pieces.

As the Angel's aura dissipated, the Dark Veil also dispersed to reveal Chen Chu, clad in golden-red ornate battle armor and standing with his halberd in hand.

Behind him, a battle phantom with three faces and six arms stood tall, surrounded by a sea of blood. It resembled a deity, suppressing the darkness with a menacing aura.

Under the three-time-amplification of the void's principles, and with a blow that consumed eighty percent of his void energy, the Dark Angel was instantly killed, despite being nearly at the middle stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

Dense purple mist began to emanate from the Dark Angel's corpse, surging toward Chen Chu. It passed through his palm and merged with the blood aura surrounding him.

"These creatures are not to be underestimated." Chen Chu's expression was grave as he glanced at the Dark Angel's corpse. He then rushed back to the half-collapsed mountain peak.

With the battle over, it was time to reap the rewards.

"What was that sudden burst of darkness just now?"

Outside the ruins, Xie Chen and Ji Yongning stared in silence at the fragments of the Angel’s corpse, scattered among the crumbled earth. Due to the Dark Veil's concealment, they hadn’t seen the eyes that blotted out the void.

Ji Yongning slowly said, "It must be a powerful new art or ability that he recently mastered.

"Compared to elemental innate awakening, the innate awakening of the physical body is even more mysterious. As one cultivates into the later stages, the body might even autonomously evolve powerful abilities. This little guy always manages to surprise us."

As the two kings marveled, Chen Chu arrived at the half-collapsed mountain peak.

Deep within the black mist stood a building resembling a Daoist temple, occupying several hundred meters. Its surroundings were shrouded by an invisible force that kept it relatively intact.

Boom!

Entwined with golden light, the halberd struck out. The ground trembled within a dozen-meter radius, and a gust of air roared, but the invisible force field remained unshaken.

Instead, it was Chen Chu who was forced back several steps by the powerful rebound force.

This scene was similar to what had happened under the deep sea, when the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast and the Single-horned Orca had found those drops of ancient blood. The surroundings there had also been shielded by a layer of invisible force field.

"Law-based restrictions." Chen Chu frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was troublesome. With his current strength, he couldn’t yet shake the force of these restrictions.

He hesitated as he looked at the well-preserved building. In truth, summoning the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor’s projection could likely break the restriction, but exposing this trump card for an unknown relic didn’t seem worth it.

Although Xie Chen hadn’t mentioned it, Chen Chu had felt the sensation of someone watching him for the past few days, likely through the Eye of the Sky, which had originated from the ruins.

After all, just the sub-eye allowed them to communicate in here.

The Thunder Emperor’s summoning was Chen Chu’s greatest trump card, something he couldn’t easily reveal. After all, the Thunder Emperor’s existence was already on record with the Federation’s top-level authorities.

The Thunder Emperor had frequently detected monitoring from satellites, indicating that the other side had long been aware of its existence.

Of course, if faced with danger, Chen Chu wouldn’t hesitate to use it. He already had an excuse in mind, but for now, it wasn’t time for the Thunder Emperor to interact with humans.

As Chen Chu pondered whether to give up, a remnant of will deep within the Daoist temple was awakened by the fluctuations of true power, sweeping over Chen Chu like an invisible wave.

"Finally, a person has arrived..."

This will seemed like a preset mechanism. Once it confirmed Chen Chu’s identity as a person, the restrictive forces shrouding the temple dissipated. The flow of time, which had been sealed within, resumed.

Chen Chu watched with astonishment as the temple, which had stood for countless millennia, crumbled into dust. All that remained was a black seal floating in midair, about twenty centimeters in size.

With a swift movement, Chen Chu crossed several dozen meters and reached out to grasp the seal, immediately feeling a heavy weight upon him.

This heaviness wasn’t physical, but rather a pressure on his spirit, will, and even his soul, all of which were suppressed by the invisible force emanating from the seal and making it difficult to operate.

By now, the sky had completely darkened, and the void energy pervading the world had grown even more violent, eroding the true dragon power covering Chen Chu’s body.

Storing the seal in his Sumeru Bracelet, Chen Chu leaped down from the several-thousand-meter-high mountain peak. Behind him, his flame wings spread wide, propelling him forward as he glided toward the distant horizon.

Outside the ruins, Xie Chen remarked in admiration, "Given the preservation of the relic, that seal should contain a complete inheritance. He truly is a child of destiny, a prodigy of this generation."

It wasn’t just Chen Chu; many others had also reaped rewards today.

The Federation had gathered the top-level geniuses from across the world’s younger generation, not just for their abilities but also for their luck or rather, their fate.

Fate was an elusive thing, and no one could confirm its existence.

Yet, whenever a civilization or race faced a desperate situation, there were always some exceptional individuals who stepped forward, overcoming obstacles and opening a path of light.

Each of these individuals possessed great fate, advancing their cultivation rapidly, turning misfortune into fortune, and encountering opportunities at the right time.

The current top three members of the human council were the greatest example.

If they hadn’t crossed into the mythical world at an indescribable speed decades ago, standing among the strongest, the human race would have long been overrun by the Purgatory Clan.

Only those of equal strength could stand against demon-god-level powerhouses; ordinary kings were no match, and even heavenly kings couldn't hold the line.

Of course, these people didn’t rise to power solely due to their fate; it was because they were inherently exceptional, defying the odds.

Or rather, it was their strength that allowed them to create their own fate and rise to prominence, sweeping through all obstacles. They didn’t become powerful solely because of luck.

Just like Chen Chu—his strength had allowed him to participate in the Kyrola trial, to enter the southern battlefield early, and to take on the mission of protecting Yan Ruoyi.

Through these tasks, he gained access to three top-level secret scriptures, enabling him to quickly create his own.

Thus, the Federation’s top-level authorities believed that this generation of geniuses, with their strong luck, were more suited to exploring the ruins than the older geniuses who had graduated one or two years earlier.

Today’s series of successes for Chen Chu, Gabriella, An Fuqing, and others seemed to confirm this belief.

And then there were those exploring the Oasis—some of them also had varying degrees of success.
