Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 363: Blood Reincarnation, The Battle Begins (I)
Chapter 363: Blood Reincarnation, The Battle Begins (I)
As the concert approached, both sides were making their preparations.
In the early morning of May 17th, a bearded young man sat cross-legged in the depths of a forest several kilometers outside Miamir City. An aura of destruction grew around him, stirring up sand and leaves and causing trees dozens of meters away to sway, as it formed a tornado that revolved around Kleide.
Suddenly, his aura fluctuated, and the tornado exploded with a bang, dissipating in all directions.
"No, still not enough." Kleide opened his eyes, a trace of disappointment on his face. After two days of seclusion, he could sense the barrier to the next stage, but he was always just one step away, unable to break through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm.
At that moment, a middle-aged man with a blank expression emerged from the distant forest. He looked at Kleide and spoke calmly.
"The path of gene martial arts fuses mutated beast genes, ultimately evolving the cultivator into a more perfect life form. Thus, each level transforms your physique and elevates your life force.
"You are stuck at the Seventh Heavenly Realm because you still consider yourself 'human.' Similarly to the unity of essence, energy and spirit in true martial arts, your spiritual will must fully integrate with the genetic information within you. If your subconscious resists it, you naturally cannot fully beastify."
Kleide fell silent for a moment before responding. "I already know this, but how do I abandon 'myself?’"
This was the requirement for the Seventh Heavenly Realm in gene martial arts, but it wasn’t something that could be achieved just by saying "I am not human.” It required a deep understanding of one's genes and the fusion of will, to facilitate the transformation into a new humanoid mutated beast.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "This is a long process of self-realization, self-suggestion, and self-transformation. It cannot be achieved overnight.
"However, even though your current strength reaches the late stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm, it’s not enough to defeat Chu Batian. You might not even withstand a single move from him."
"Is Chu Batian really that strong?" Kleide's gaze became chilly.
"You were able to defeat Davis, who had just broken through to the middle stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm, because of your advanced Destructive Fist Will and the explosive power of your gene-enhanced punches,” the man explained.
"But you can only unleash three such punches consecutively. If you can't defeat your opponent within three punches, you will be exhausted.
"Chu Batian is strong enough to take three punches without injury. Right now, you are no match for him unless you break through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm and evolve your gene bloodline.
"While I cannot help you break through, I have a bottle of Chaotic Essence. Consuming it can temporarily push your bloodline power to its limit, allowing you to enter the Seventh Realm temporarily."
Looking at the middle-aged man, Kleide did not immediately accept or refuse. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "Which demon cult god are you?"
During his travels across two countries, Kleide had come across online information about Chu Batian, such as how he had protected Yan Ruoyi from an attack by the Demon God Cult and killed an avatar of their god.
The middle-aged man replied calmly, "What is a god? They are just powerful cultivators. Back then, I had a disagreement with the Federation, and they banished me from the Blue Planet to the mythical world for decades. I have returned this time only to retrieve something from that girl Yan Ruoyi.
"Though you have your mother’s body frozen in a comatose state, death still looms over her. Once that freezing is lifted, she will die within moments.
"Only if I retrieve that item and perform the Blood Reincarnation Technique can I use time-related powers to reverse your mother's physical and spiritual state to what it was years ago. Only then will she not die."
Kleide fell silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice. "Where is the essence?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and produced a red bottle. "This bottle of Chaotic Essence will transform into a pseudo-bloodline power and merge with your body when consumed.

"When you fully activate that bloodline power, you will possess the strength of a Seventh Heavenly Realm beastified warrior until the power is exhausted and you fall back to your current rank."
Under the middle-aged man's watchful gaze, Kleide drank the Chaotic Essence in one gulp. A turbulent aura instantly erupted from his body.
Boom!
Transcendent energy within hundreds of meters converged, and the dominating Destructive Fist Will surged into the sky. Without any concealment, Chen Chu and Li Daoyi felt the breakthrough even from dozens of kilometers away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures flashed away from where they had been eating breakfast, and Chen Chu and Li Daoyi appeared on the rooftop, looking into the distance.
Although both of them were still in the Sixth Heavenly Realm, their true strength had already reached the late stage or even peak of the Seventh, meaning they could be considered advanced powerhouses.
Feeling the fist will soaring into the sky, Li Daoyi raised an eyebrow. "The will is filled with destruction... it's Kleide. He actually broke through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm?"
Chen Chu spoke slowly. "That aura feels unstable. It seems like a forced breakthrough."
Li Daoyi was puzzled. "Why would this guy cooperate with Akunus? He's even risking damage to his foundation to forcefully break through to the Seventh Realm."
Chen Chu had informed Li Daoyi about Kleide's situation earlier. He calmly said, "No need to worry about that. As long as we know he's currently an enemy, we just need to blow him up. Knowing too much only brings unnecessary trouble."
Li Daoyi nodded slightly. "You're right. But now that he's broken through to the Seventh Realm, are you confident?"
Chen Chu responded indifferently. "Whether he's in the Sixth or Seventh Heavenly Realm, it doesn't matter to me. The only difference is how many times I’ll need to swing my halberd.
"It feels like he's broken through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, but the improvement isn't as significant as it seems. His fist will is still advanced, but the only other thing he has is his beastified state."
Gene martial arts differed from true martial arts in that they didn’t condense a True Martial Phantom. After breaking through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, the enhancement from transcendent energy was only two or three times.
Their strength lay more in their beastified form, possessing abilities and power comparable to a level 7 mutated beast, with increased speed and true power amplification.
Strong, but that was all. For Chen Chu now, the late stage or peak of the Seventh Heavenly Realm wasn't enough to catch his eye.
During this time, his body had undergone several major enhancements, and with his cultivation breaking through to the late stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, he had condensed runic phantoms. In his normal state, his combat power had already reached the peak of the Seventh.
In other words, without entering his rune transformation state, he could easily strike with sheer physical power comparable to Kaotoros' full divine soul burning attack. Such strength could shatter anything in a few strikes.
Even cultivators in the Seventh Heavenly Realm could barely withstand a few of his hits. Once he entered the Dragon Emperor Divine Might form, with a boost to his power and defense twenty times over, he could cross the threshold of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, becoming unimaginably powerful.
After all, he was only in the late stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm. Given the overall strength of the human race, even kings on the frontlines would be blown away.
This time, they were so concerned with Akunus' avatar because they wanted to seal its soul essence and use it to locate and kill its true body. The Federation's top experts had long been sick of this monster, which had devoured millions of people for cultivation. They just couldn't catch its true body.
Meanwhile, some experts in Miamir also sensed the breakthrough aura, especially the distinctive destructive will. Very soon, the news of Kleide breaking through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm spread online, causing quite a stir.
"Damn! That guy isn’t even twenty yet, and he actually broke through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm. I’m supposed to be a ‘genius’ who graduated at the Third Realm, but this makes me feel useless."
"The Seventh Heavenly Realm! Chu Batian might lose in the upcoming battle."
"Yeah, this guy could defeat a middle-stage Seventh Heavenly Realm expert with one move, and that was before he broke through."
The online sentiment quickly shifted, with many people starting to believe that Chu Batian wouldn’t be a match for Kleide.
In the minds of most cultivators, the Seventh Heavenly Realm's second transformation was a whole different level compared to the Sixth, especially for someone like Kleide, who had cross-realm combat strength.
Now that he had broken through, he would become even more powerful.
