Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 640: The Divine Transformation that Shook the World (I)
Chapter 640: The Divine Transformation that Shook the World (I)
On the space-time summoning altar, a black and red colossal beast that was a thousand meters long and five hundred meters tall loomed imposingly.
Encircling the colossal beast were radiant halos that represented eight laws; a black halo for destruction, a golden halo for Indestructible Vajra, and a purple halo for Corrosion, among others. They exuded an aura capable of crushing heaven and earth.
Under the intertwined force of the power of laws, a realm of law spanning ten kilometers formed around the Heavenly Azure Dragon Emperor. Within this realm, all external powers were repelled and suppressed, leaving only the unchallenged flow of these high-level laws. It was as if an entire world governed by pure law had descended.
This was the sheer dominance of a heavenly tier lifeform. Though the Dragon Emperor was only at the middle stage of the mythical level, its overwhelming presence could even rival a beginning-stage heavenly king.
This wasn't even the Dragon Emperor's strongest summoned form, instead only a projection of its power. If its true form had been summoned with physical strength incorporated, with only thirty percent of its total power, it would rival a heavenly king in the middle stage.
However, as the Dragon Emperor’s avatar descended, transparent markings surfaced on Chen Chu’s left arm. The erosion of time grew more pronounced—just as he had expected.
“How is this possible? Eight high-level laws!?”
Above the azure sky, Xiao Tianyi, who seemed to embody the very will of the Heavenly Dao, finally revealed a look of shock. He stared in disbelief at the radiant laws shrouding the colossal beast.
From the moment Xiao Tianyi’s golden eyes appeared behind him, to the instant Chen Chu activated the space-time summoning altar, everything had happened in the blink of an eye. After all, true combat was not turn-based; there was no time to react. Ultimate trump cards like these were unleashed in an instant, with no prior warning.
Except now, Xiao Tianyi was momentarily stunned, overwhelmed by the sheer power of the colossal beast. Its laws defied all logic and shattered his understanding of the world.
After all, whether it was human cultivators, the demon kings of the Purgatory Clan, or even the gods from the Alliance of Gods, only a handful had ever comprehended and mastered a high-level law.
Even Xiao Tianyi himself had only mastered one high-level Holy Light law, and with that alone, his combat strength was already among the strongest of his tier.
Mythical-level beings had extremely powerful laws, but there were also limits. Over the years, humans had conducted numerous tests to gather detailed data about this.
For example, there was a big difference in strength between a late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm being and a peak quasi-mythical Ninth Heavenly Realm being. The peak being's True Martial Body, including their explosive power, could be anywhere from one to five times stronger.
Meanwhile, the difference in strength between a late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm being's true form and a mythical king’s true form was about ten times.
This tenfold difference wasn't just in the strength of their law-condensed true forms, but also the capacity to handle divine law power. Furthermore, the difference in divine law power and true power was also ten times greater.
These tests didn’t even take into account the unique properties of the laws one had comprehended. For example, the law of fire not only had ten times the power of the late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm, it also carried extreme heat, combustion, and explosive force.
Additionally, when a realm of law of a thousand meters was unleashed, opponents would become completely suppressed, resulting in overwhelming dominance. This was where sayings like "Those below the mythical level are all ants" originated from.
This was just for low-level laws. Middle-level laws amplified the true form and divine law power foundation by twelvefold, while high-level laws increased it by fifteenfold.
The difference between low-level and high-level laws would seem like only fivefold at first, but when a law was comprehended to the intermediate and advanced level, true form and divine power would be greatly enhanced.
In the middle-stage of the mythical level, when a law reached the intermediate stage, both the true form and divine power underwent a transformation of 1.5 times. At the advanced stage, the enhancement became two times more.
That still wouldn’t seem like a lot, but when these multipliers were applied to a foundation that is already ten or twenty times stronger, the gap in strength becomes insane. Furthermore, this enhancement was applied across all aspects, including true form strength, divine power capacity, divine power intensity, and domain strength.
The domain suppression range of a low-level law was one kilometer, while for a middle-level law, it was two kilometers, and for a high-level law, it was extended to three. Then, when a high-level law reached the advanced stage, its domain range expanded to six kilometers.
Beyond that, when a king activated their origin power, the amplification of power could also vary significantly depending on the strength of their foundation.
This was just the difference between individual laws. When someone condensed and comprehended a second or third law, their law-condensed true form would undergo multiple refinements, making their divine law power even stronger.
Comprehending an additional low-level law increased the strength of the law-condensed true form and divine power by one time the cultivator’s original power. A middle-level law increased it by two times, and a high-level law increased it by three.
The Dragon Emperor’s true form had a foundation of power that was thirty-six times that of a late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator.
Along with the 1.5 times boost from being in the middle stage of the mythical level and its 8 high-level laws, the total increase in power was 54 times more. Furthermore, this increase was just its foundational power, not even factoring in the unique traits of its eight laws.
It was no wonder Xiao Tianyi was utterly shaken. Eight high-level laws? Even with his monstrous talent, he had never comprehended this many back then. Even if one had the talent for that, their soul foundation wouldn’t be able to bear it.
With such an unprecedented number of high-level laws, even at the beginning stage of the mythical level, it was possible to counterattack a beginning stage heavenly king.
Apart from combat power amplification, high-level laws also represented completion, meaning the process of comprehension was much more difficult than that of low- or middle-level laws.
Yet, the one who had mastered these eight high-level laws was a colossal beast—a creature typically known for its low intelligence that only followed the path of physical evolution.
At that moment, Xiao Tianyi felt that either he had gone insane, or the world itself had gone mad—otherwise, how could such a colossal beast, defying all logic and breaking the very rules of existence, possibly appear?
"Impossible! This must be an illusion!"
A cold, ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Tianyi’s eyes. Behind him, the golden eyes blazed, and above the sky, the faint phantom of a grand building emerged. Holy chanting echoed in the void, singing praises of eternity.
Boom!
Within what seemed to be a real celestial palace, a towering, majestic figure appeared. With a single wave of its hand, it projected a golden spear that spanned thousands of meters.
The spear looked almost tangible, its surface intricately engraved with exquisite patterns. Nine golden halos encircled it, radiating an immense divine power.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the golden spear struck down, space fractured like fragile glass, sending black rifts rippling across the sky. It was a sight both majestic and terrifying, as if the apocalypse itself had arrived.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The golden spear approached within five kilometers of the Dragon Emperor, clashing with its realm of laws and unleashing a massive explosion of energy. With the divine power of Xiao Tianyi's golden eyes, the spear struck against the eight high-level laws like an unstoppable force.
Boom!
The Dragon Emperor extended its right claw, enveloped in swirling lights, each embodying a powerful law—the golden glow of Indestructible Vajra, the gray haze of chaotic dark force, the black lightning of destruction, the blueish-black radiance of Thunderbolt, the golden-white blaze of Golden Flames, and the ominous purple of Corrosion.
With these five high-level laws, the Dragon Emperor's claw radiated a prismatic glow, shattering space in its wake. In the next instant, the claw seized the golden spear.
For a brief moment, the entire world fell silent. Then, a flash of golden light erupted.
Boom!
The blinding golden explosion shook the heavens and earth. The sheer force of the clash sent shockwaves through the land, shattering the ground, with rifts tearing across nearly one to two hundred kilometers. Mountain-sized debris was sent tumbling into the dark void, swept away by waves of destructive force.
The moment the golden spear shattered, countless streaks of golden light burst forth, carrying an unstoppable will and razor-sharp power. Like a golden raging torrent, they surged forward, engulfing the Dragon Emperor as they sought to obliterate everything.
Yet, despite the golden onslaught, the colossal beast remained unshaken, exuding an unyielding aura.
Its chaotic dark force nullified law-based energy attacks, while the Vajra law granted it an indestructible body. Furthermore, with the destruction law condensing into a form of pure annihilation, the Dragon Emperor’s defense reached a monstrous level.
These were the exclusive powers granted by the laws—each high-level law embodying a supreme power.
The cataclysmic explosion raged for minutes, but as the golden torrent finally faded, it revealed the black-and-red colossal beast, entirely unscathed, along with Chen Chu, who remained firm on the altar.
