Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 637: Battle Demon God Dragon, The Fated Battle (I)

In the pitch-black void, resembling the vastness of the cosmos, Xiao Tianyi, clad in snow-white robes, stood like a peerless nobleman. His handsome features were cold and detached as he gazed at Chen Chu.

As he uttered the words, "So don’t blame me," an endless golden radiance erupted from Xiao Tianyi's body.

Boom!

Centered on Xiao Tianyi, the ambient energy in the void compressed explosively, as though the atmosphere itself had been forcibly ruptured.

The expanding golden light emanated intense heat and sharp energy, obliterating mountain-sized meteors in its path into nothingness. A vast domain of golden light spanning several kilometers materialized, enveloping the area.

At the heart of the golden domain, the unleashed power of laws caused the void to tremble. White rings of shockwaves rippled outward, stretching for ten kilometers, creating a grand and awe-inspiring scene.

In the center stood Xiao Tianyi, his sacred form towering a hundred meters high. He exuded an aura of divinity, like an exalted deity high above all. His expression was cold and majestic.

An endless brilliance of light and heat radiated from his body, akin to the first holy flame birthed at the dawn of creation. The intangible pressure of the peak mythical level reverberated across the world.

Under the overwhelming presence, an island a hundred kilometers in diameter shook violently in the distance. Rocks on its edges crumbled and disintegrated piece by piece.

Within the ruin, Li Hao felt a tremendous weight pressing down on him, as if he bore the burden of a mountain. His back bent slightly under the crushing force, and cracks spread across the rocky ground beneath his feet.

"Trying to make me kneel? Impossible!" Li Hao’s eyes burned with madness as a battle will, ferocious and unyielding, erupted from him, resisting the peak mythical-level oppressive might.

Boom!

A dark-red blood aura burst forth from Li Hao, forming a hellish domain spanning three hundred meters. Barely, he managed to block the overwhelming pressure surging down on him.

Such was the terror of a peak mythical level existence—pushing the mastery of laws to their extreme. Even the residual divine might emanating from Xiao Tianyi, standing over ten kilometers away, was unbearable for Li Hao.

Boom!

From the plaza, Chen Chu erupted with dazzling blood-red light, forming a thousand-meter-wide sea of blood. Amid this sea of destruction, golden flames burned while blue-black thunderbolts crackled.

Chen Chu’s form began to expand, the black-and-red battle armor he wore stretching to its limits. In an instant, he transformed into a hundred-meter-tall, six-armed, three-faced demonic figure.

Behind this demon-like form, four rotating light wheels appeared. Gripping a black-and-gold halberd over two hundred meters long, an overpowering and domineering pressure surged into the heavens.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clash between Chen Chu and Xiao Tianyi shook the heavens and the earth. The atmosphere erupted with deafening roars, their colliding auras creating transparent cracks that rippled outward and shook the world with terrifying force.

At the mythical level, a cultivator’s aura merged with their will, transcending form and interfering with reality.

Under the unrestrained pressure of a mythical-level king, ordinary cultivators couldn’t even stand, let alone approach. The divine might was a prison in itself.

Standing at the center of a blood-and-flame domain, Chen Chu’s four extra arms formed seals to lift the divine light wheels behind him, which shimmered with blue lightning and golden flames, exuding the terrifying aura of high-level laws.

The left side of his face was covered in fine red scales, his expression cold, with blood-red eyes radiating endless malice. Faintly, the power of the underworld seemed to be summoned around him.

The right side of his face, however, bore closed eyes surrounded by black and gray patterns, emanating the aura of void and death.

Four high-level laws entwined around him, the power of the underworld augmented his strength, and the four light wheels of the worlds rotated behind him, making him resemble an ancient war god capable of subduing hell itself.

The pressure radiating from him was already comparable to the late stage of the mythical level—frightening and formidable.

This was despite Chen Chu only having barely touched upon the four high-level laws, condensing only a small portion of their divine inscriptions. He had not yet transitioned to a law-condensed true form, or his power would have been even more terrifying.

Even so, the strength Chen Chu displayed caused Xiao Tianyi to take notice.

Back when he was at this stage, his combat power was only comparable to the middle stage of the mythical level, yet he had still been hailed as a prodigious talent by the First Councilor.

In the ruins, Li Hao stared wide-eyed in shock, his expression blank. "Chen Chu, you monster! How are you still so ridiculously powerful at the Ninth Heavenly Realm?"

When Chen Chu had been in the Seventh Heavenly Realm, his combat strength had already been astonishing. With that cultivation, he had swept through the Void Continent, slaughtering millions of void creatures and amassing an ocean of blood.

Now, having reached the Ninth Heavenly Realm, his power was even more outrageous. He had leapt directly from the late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Realm to the late stage of the mythical level—a major realm leap.

This abnormal, boundary-breaking strength was simply monstrous.

Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Chen Chu, Xiao Tianyi’s gaze grew colder. He raised his hand, condensing endless golden light into a three-hundred-meter-long golden spear.

As he held the spear, his voice was icy and low. "Chen Chu, I’ll give you one last chance. Join my Holy Light Cult, or you will fall here today."

Though Chen Chu’s presence was overwhelming, Xiao Tianyi remained unperturbed.

A Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator was still a Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator. Without a law-condensed true form, without a divine soul, and without mastery of powerful combat skills of the laws, they could not reach the apex.

Thus, even though Chen Chu wielded the aura of four powerful laws, Xiao Tianyi was unconcerned.

For a cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, every activation of a law in battle required immense energy and willpower—ten times that of a mythical-level king. Xiao Tianyi was confident that Chen Chu could not sustain his peak condition for long.

Nevertheless, Chen Chu’s talent was so great that even Xiao Tianyi couldn’t help but admire him.

Chen Chu flatly rejected Xiao Tianyi’s recruitment attempt, saying, "Sorry, I have no interest in becoming a traitor who hides in the shadows and doesn’t even dare to show his true face."

Chen Chu had once studied information about Xiao Tianyi, but the appearance and physique of the person before him, Zuo Sheng, was significantly different from what he had seen. This was why he hadn’t recognized him at first glance.

However, Zuo Jing and Zuo Sheng were both avatars of a powerful figure from the demon cults, possessing unfathomable cultivation and hailing from Nantian Martial Arts High School—just like Xiao Tianyi.

All these clues pointed to that once brilliant traitor.

In truth, neither Chen Chu nor Xiao Tianyi had anticipated this clash.

For instance, Xiao Tianyi hadn’t expected that among the cultivators and aliens entering this place, there would be a monster like Chen Chu—whose overwhelming combat strength was enough to dominate the entire ruin.

Even the god-level war puppets, which could effortlessly resist the Divine Children and boasted defenses on par with the middle stage of the mythical level, couldn’t withstand more than a few moves from him.

Under normal circumstances, the young cultivators entering this time would have no way of defeating these mythical-level war puppets. They could only pass the trials of the ruin to obtain their inheritances.

Thus, even if the puppets roamed freely, it wouldn't have affected Xiao Tianyi’s plan to refine the world fragment. However, Chen Chu's presence changed everything. If left unchecked, Chen Chu could potentially destroy all these precious war puppets within days.

These colossal war puppets, with beginning-stage mythical combat strength and middle- to late-stage mythical level defenses, were invaluable strategic assets—prized by any major force.

Take, for example, Mech No.1, which possessed combat power comparable to a mythical-level king.

This was precisely why Xiao Tianyi had appeared. Once he successfully refined this world fragment and gained control over it, these mythical-level war puppets would exhibit even greater power.

Moreover, neither Chen Chu nor the others had anticipated that, despite the thirty life engraving wheel limit within the ruin, a peak mythical-level powerhouse had been lying dormant inside all along.

Thus, through an unexpected turn of events, Chen Chu found himself facing off against the once-peerless prodigy who had astounded the entire cultivation world years ago.
