Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 710: The Silver Time Butterfly and the Ancient Arena (I)

Just as Li Hao was about to step onto the stage, an uneasy feeling washed over him. Meanwhile, Chen Chu stood up, flashed him a reassuring smile, and waved, as if to say there was nothing to worry about.

Chen Chu hadn’t returned to show off, and he never had such intention. If he did, he would have informed the school beforehand, and if the school knew, its main gate would surely have been decorated with a grand banner that said, "Welcome first-year students, and welcome back Divine Might King!"

Aside from visiting Zhang Xiaolan and Chen Hu, the main reason Chen Chu had come back was also to catch up with old friends like Xia Youhui, Li Meng, and Lin Xue.

However, as the gaps in their cultivation grew, they found themselves in different worlds. Though they could still talk as friends, the people they met and the challenges they faced were no longer the same.

Chen Chu fought alongside kings, and his enemies started at the demon king level. Meanwhile, Xia Youhui, Lin Xue, and the others were still striving to break through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, working hard to condense their True Martial Phantoms. Even Li Hao, a freak in his own right, was in the same situation.

Suddenly, Chen Chu turned to Xia Youhui and said, "Old Xia, I’m going to the restroom first."

Xia Youhui and the others were momentarily dumbfounded. A king still needed to use the restroom?

By the Eighth Heavenly Realm, cultivators had already begun merging with their True Martial Phantoms, their bodies shifting toward an energy-based state. Although they still maintained their physical forms, everything they consumed was refined. Useful energy was absorbed, while anything impure was expelled out of the body as energy, leaving no waste behind.

But now, a king who had already forged his law-condensed true form was saying he needed to use the restroom? Couldn’t he at least put a little more effort into making up an excuse?

While Xia Youhui and the others were still speechless, Chen Chu quickly moved to the entrance of the rear corridor. The next moment, space twisted around him, and he vanished.

On the rooftop of Building C, where he had once cultivated during his Foundation Building days, Chen Chu's figure appeared out of thin air. His black hair danced wildly in the fierce wind as he stood there in silence, waiting for something.

Through the perception of his Insightful Eye, that eerie sensation of being watched by a being not belonging to this time and space flared up once more.

This was why he had left the stadium. Even though he possessed a hell coordinate that could prevent him from getting lost in unknown realms of time and space, Chen Chu still remained extremely cautious and wary.

If that time-based creature were to launch a sudden attack and drag Xia Youhui and the others into it, things would get troublesome.

Just then, Chen Chu's brow furrowed slightly, as his eyes flickered and his pupils turned black and gold. In an instant, the world lost its colors, revealing the essence of all things.

At the distant edge of the monochrome sky, a massive phantom with wings spanning thousands of meters gradually faded, disappearing completely as if it had never existed.

Chen Chu's pupils slowly turned back to normal. His expression was solemn as he murmured, "Giving up again?"

Despite being a titan-level being with the power of time, this creature was so cautious that it still hesitated to attack a mere beginning-stage mythical prey.

Enemies that lurked in the shadows like this were the most troublesome. Chen Chu narrowed his eyes.

***

Fierce winds howled as thunder roared across the planar world. Suddenly, Chen Chu appeared on top of a towering divine black mountain that loomed over the land, as the entire world shuddered in response.

Buzz!

Chen Chu's left hand radiated a deep blue glow, and countless sequence chains burst forth, intertwining and transforming into a Space-Time Altar hundreds of meters tall.

The Blue Planet and the mythical world existed across two dimensions, and forcefully opening a passage between the two placed immense strain on him. However...

As Chen Chu activated the Space-Time Summoning Altar, a resonance between his bloodline and soul caused the fabric of space-time to shift in the planar world. A vortex appeared before the Destructive Dragon Emperor.

Whoosh!

Tens of thousands of low-level Life Crystals spilled out from the bag in the Dragon Emperor’s claws, scattering into the air before being swept up by an unseen force and surging toward the summoning passage.

Eeya! Eeya! Wait! The great Little Yi also wants to make a sacrifice! The great Little Yi still has something good!

Nestled within the Dragon Emperor’s thick mane, a tiny purple dragon stirred from its slumber. It let out a soft, childish growl, its small claws fumbling groggily at the scales beneath its neck.

A few scales on the Little Purple Dragon’s neck stood out from the rest, shimmering with a mysterious pattern. Their violet glow carried an aura of something beyond the ordinary.

From the Purple Dragon's perspective, the reason its last two sacrifices had gone unanswered was likely because the offerings were too insignificant. Eggshell fragments and similar trinkets were hardly worthy of attention from this mighty being.

This time, it wanted to pluck a reverse scale imbued with the essence of creation.

The Purple Dragon’s obsession with sacrifices made the Dragon Emperor twitch at the corner of its mouth. It couldn't help but let out a low growl. Little Yi, I’m not making a sacrifice this time. I’m giving a gift.

Eeya? The Purple Dragon looked confused. Hadn’t they already given a gift last time?

As it watched in confusion, the swirling vortex before them gradually faded, leaving no trace, as if it had never existed.

Boom!

After transmitting the Life Crystals to its main body, a powerful aura erupted from the Dragon Emperor. The suppressed breakthrough to the titan level resumed once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Black lightning, golden radiance, roaring flames, and high-level thunderbolt laws erupted from the Dragon Emperor’s body, intertwining into countless sequence chains.

Everything was crushed and obliterated by this overwhelming power, until nothing remained. A hundred-kilometer-wide "world" formed around the Dragon Emperor, radiating with dazzling colors.

At the center of this developing law-bound world, everything was being reforged. The Dragon Emperor’s flesh, bones, genes, and very form began to transform and evolve.

At the heart of this chaos, a powerful wave of drowsiness surged through the Dragon Emperor. Unable to resist, it slowly closed its eyes.

In the planar worlds, Chen Chu stood atop the Space-Time Summoning Altar as more than twenty thousand low-level Life Crystals floated before him, radiating like a vast, starry sea.

Chen Chu smiled as he looked at the crystals, enough to convert into over 200,000 attribute points. With a wave of his hand, he stored them in his spatial bracelet.

However, the moment he put them away, the ominous gaze from that time-based creature returned, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of danger.

Buzz!

In the void ahead, a massive creature with a wingspan exceeding three thousand meters appeared, its dragon-scaled form resembling a silver butterfly. Countless golden specks of light swirled around it, enhancing its breathtaking splendor.

The moment it appeared, an overwhelming aura belonging to a titan-level being exploded forth. The entire world trembled violently.

A middle-stage titan! Chen Chu narrowed his eyes.

Titan-level colossal beasts were already immensely powerful, but one that wielded the supreme law of time was even more formidable. This Silver Time Butterfly was no weaker than the titan-level magma giant.

"As expected," Chen Chu murmured, his eyes burning with battle will. Though the Dragon Emperor had fallen into slumber, he still had one last trump card; he could summon another power projection and merge into his divine transformation fusion form.

The Time Butterfly fluttered its wings. The golden specks around it burst forth, surging into a massive, transparent tidal wave that swept across everything.

All things slowed to a crawl. Consciousness and thought came to a standstill. The world blurred, turning hazy and translucent.

Sensing this force, different from the power of space, Chen Chu forcibly restrained the Law of Power’s urge to explode outward and destroy everything. Instead, he let the energy pull him into the endless flow of time.

After gaining access to the Supreme Hell Plane coordinates, Chen Chu wasn’t afraid of getting lost in an unknown time-space. His greater concern was scaring off the Time Butterfly and losing his chance to slay this creature. He needed a stable point in time and space to unleash a full-force strike and finish it off.

The Time Butterfly remained highly cautious of Chen Chu. After dragging him into the chaotic time-space storm, it stayed concealed within the turbulence, never approaching him.

As Chen Chu sank deeper into the storm, he lost track of how long he had been within it. Eventually, the golden tide surrounding him faded, and his entire body plummeted from the sky.

Boom!

The ground within a several-hundred-meter radius around Chen Chu shattered, sending a powerful shockwave mixed with countless fragments flying in all directions.

"Where is this place?" Amid the rolling dust, Chen Chu’s expression grew solemn as he scanned his surroundings.
