Chapter 1047: Carrying A Star, the Burning Dragon of Destruction (I)

In response to Chen Hu’s concern, Xia Youhui smiled warmly. "This upheaval’s twisted spacetime, and this projection is just showing bits of the battlefield. It’s perfectly normal not to see your brother. Ah Chu is currently our number one powerhouse. He must have taken part in the war. We might see him later."

The entire Blue Planet, along with the surrounding hundreds of millions of kilometers of space, was filled with strange phenomena. Twisted fragments appeared one after another, projecting scenes from the mythical world.

At the same time, the mythical world also projected images of the solar system. A planet covered in extreme ice crystals; Saturn, with its beautiful yellow rings, and even the cities of the Blue Planet appeared above the heavens.

In the former territory of the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, atop mountains that soared ten thousand meters high, a black colossal beast resembling a western dragon looked up in astonishment at the bustling city scenes now hanging in the sky.

Elsewhere, across a deep-sea world passage, on the mist-shrouded summit of a mountain, lay a crystal-clear lake, its bed glittering with red, blue, and white gems. Suddenly, the clouds tore apart. A red serpent dragon burst into the sky and landed with a boom at the lake’s edge.

It first glanced nervously at its foreclaws. After seeing that they had not touched the pristine, luminous water, it exhaled in relief, then roared in panic.

My king, this is bad. Something big is happening.

Bang!

The lake exploded. Amid the shower of water, a colossal eastern dragon covered in white scales but crowned with a pair of red horns lifted its upper body from the lake.

The white beast blinked drowsily, golden-silver vertical pupils filled with confusion.

Trouble? What trouble?

The red serpent roared frantically.

The sky... There’s a huge fireball in the sky! It’s coming down toward us fast! Run, my king!

Only then did the white beast subconsciously raise its head and notice that the entire sky had been lit by golden light. From somewhere far beyond the sky, a vast fireball had blotted out the heavens, radiating boundless, searing brilliance as it slowly descended.

Its vast momentum had roused the land in an instant; countless beasts in the forests roared in fear. However, as a peak mythical-level beast on the verge of breaking through to the titan level, the white beast immediately sensed that something about the fireball wasn’t right.

It paused slightly, then yawned and let out a lazy, low growl.

No need to mind it, Red Mane. That thing in the sky is only a projection from an unknown space-time. It won't fall.

So sleepy... I am going back to sleep. Do not disturb my cultivation without cause. Do you understand, Red Mane?

Understood, my king.

The red serpent also relaxed. It backed away carefully by a few steps, then slowly turned to leave, preparing to fly off. Just as it turned, its thick tail swept across the air. The tail fin, like a lion’s tuft, accidentally skimmed a bit of the lake’s surface.

A world-shaking roar detonated at once.

Red Mane, you dirtied my water again!

By then, however, the red serpent had already shot skyward, turning into a streak of red and vanishing into the clouds in the blink of an eye, leaving the white beast seething with anger.

Meanwhile, upon the heaving surface of the Chaotic Sea, the peak level 9 Blue Giant Crab waved both claws, excited bubbles tumbling from its mouth.

Wife, children, look at the sky! That ocean up there is the ocean of my world! I see my home!

Gurgle!

Around the Blue Giant Crab, thousands of colossal crabs and swarms of tiny crabs lifted their heads curiously, staring at the blue ocean now painted across the heavens.

Boom!

Far off, the sea burst open. A black orca leapt from the water with excited squeaks.

Little Hime, Little Hime! It's the sea, our world’s sea!

On the surface, a female orca with a pink pouch hanging from its dorsal fin nodded sweetly.

I saw it, Leader.

While the beasts left to guard the Dragon Palace cried out in delight, the female orca Horn Hime, floating in mid-air, showed a faint worry in its eyes and gave a soft, low call.

Our world... It seems like something is going wrong.

***

On the Blue Planet, Xia Youhui suddenly pointed excitedly at the western sky. "Look, it’s Ah Chu!"

Beyond the atmospheric layer, the void projection warped. It revealed a figure standing amid golden-white flames and purple thunderbolts, its body radiating terrifying brilliance. Its true form stood one hundred thousand meters tall, more than ten times the height of the world’s highest peak, the Himalayas. If it stood on the Blue Planet’s surface, it would have plunged into the atmosphere.

On the central face, it wore the Imperial Crown of Twenty-Four Heavens. The third eye on its brow remained shut; the other eyes were cold and indifferent. Black hair streamed behind like fire, imposing beyond comparison. The left face was covered in fine red scales, likewise three-eyed, but the third eye had opened, flooded with endless blood-colored light. It looked like both a god and a demon. The right face kept both eyes closed, emanating an ominous aura, as though doomsday would be summoned the instant they opened.

Two illusory faces and one real one. This three-faced vision made it seem like the supreme Heavenly Emperor[1] of ancient myths, overlooking all beings. In its hands, it held a vicious halberd over thirty kilometers long, while behind it, eight arms bore various divine weapons. Reflected in the slow-turning golden-white divine wheel, it appeared sacred to the extreme. Even separated by an entire world, the pressure it radiated invisibly had countless people on the Blue Planet holding their breath in tense awe.

Boom!

The three-faced, ten-armed demon god swept the halberd in a single arc. Under that terrifying strike, a rift opened across time and space. A demon god fifty thousand meters tall, wielding a blood-colored demonic saber, let out a miserable scream as it was torn limb from limb.

The overwhelming force shattered heaven and earth. The invisible shockwave scoured the land, instantly carving out an abyssal void tens of thousands of kilometers wide. The force was enough to bury several Blue Planets. Such exaggerated, terrifying power left all who witnessed it utterly shaken.

Xia Youhui exclaimed in excitement, "Damn, Ah Chu had become even stronger than in the last great battle. Those demon gods can barely withstand even a single blow from him."

Chen Hu was also stirred, his voice brimming with excitement. "My brother is so fierce, absolutely unstoppable. Fighting those demon gods is like beating up little kids, so easy."

Clenching his fist, he said with determination, "When I enter the mythical world later, I’m going to hunt down a few demon gods myself and hack those ugly things to death."

While the group cheered, many cultivator geniuses nearby who overheard them also looked shocked. "That’s the Divine Might King? His true form is massive."

"Massive? He’s practically invincible!!"

These geniuses were equally thrilled. Chen Chu had already become a legend among the younger generation of the entire Federation’s cultivation world. His unbelievable cultivation speed and increasingly staggering battle records served as inspiration for all to train harder. Even Lin Xue and Lin Yu, standing on the steps in the distance, stared in awe at the celestial phenomena in the western sky, dazed for a long time.

Hum!

The whole world suddenly trembled slightly, and once again, shock filled everyone’s faces. Beside the radiant sun, a colossal figure, tens of millions of kilometers tall and like an ethereal projection, appeared with perfect clarity. It resembled a tall mech, and its body was encased in golden-white armor that seemed like its skin, inscribed with intricate dark-golden patterns. Behind its head floated nine golden halos, slowly rotating, emanating boundless radiance and an aura of majesty that shook the entire solar system.

From the spectator stands, Yan Ruoyi’s gaze grew solemn. "It’s finally reached this stage."

Deep within the solar system, at the core beneath the white sphere of light that was the world’s origin, Mech No.1 extended both hands, gently lifting the "world." Simultaneously, in the projection across space, the colossal mech also extended its hands to slowly hold up the sun.

Boom!

The moment No.1 caught the slowly descending white glowing sphere, an indescribably heavy force exploded forth. Time and space shattered instantly under that immense pressure. No.1’s frame sank, joints creaking as if unable to bear the strain.

Beneath it came an even more fearsome tearing force. It was an invisible gravitational pull from the mythical world itself, drawing in the solar system from another great universe. All of this was affecting No.1 alone.

Creak!

The mech’s upper body sank lower, and its golden-white armor, which was renowned for its extreme durability, slowly warped. Its lower half, pulled at by the mythical world’s invisible force, split with deep cracks, the power behind them enough to tear a demon god apart instantly.

This was only the pressure at the level of raw force. The moment No.1 tried to bear the weight of the world, the boundless principle origin of an entire world surged in like a collapsing galaxy. The vast and overwhelming origin power was enough to instantly assimilate a divine king’s true form, annihilating its soul.

However, in essence, No.1 was a true spirit, one whose incomplete body still possessed an unimaginable capacity to bear weight. It could barely withstand the first wave of impact.

Luo Fei’s spiritual will merged with the Primordial Azure Sky, vast like an endless lakeshore, endlessly absorbing all of the incoming information. As the power of these principles poured in, the azure sky that had descended through Luo Fei’s soul will began showing signs of merging with the solar system.

Roar!

Suddenly, No.1 let out a furious bellow, its eyes shining with blinding azure-white light. Its frame groaned and bent bit by bit under the crushing force.

Boom!

The golden-white armor covering its upper body burst apart, revealing the dark-golden flesh and bone beneath, slick with blood.

No, I can’t hold it anymore.

Inside No.1, Luo Fei’s energy-form remained calm, her cold eyes showing no ripple of emotion. "As expected, the time was too short. No.1 hasn’t fully matured yet. Fortunately, there’s still a chance."

Roar!

No.1’s voice rose again, violent and feral. In the outer world, the azure sky quaked. In its depths, a boundless phantom emerged, descending through the azure sky before countless shocked gazes.

Boom!

It was condensed from ancient lifeform information, looking like both a colossal beast and a monster. The instant it appeared, the entire solar system trembled again. Drawn by the unseen pull of its main body, the colossal phantom sought to rush toward the sun.

However, the Primordial King, who had torn a passage open and hidden his aura, appeared at the edge of the Blue Planet’s space. A deep, cool voice resounded.

"Dark heaven and yellow earth, from the very beginning, man was born, and eons passed in a breath. The cycles of heaven and earth birth life without end...

"...I hold the mandate of heaven to guard all beings, to guard the human race. Here, I pray to the eternal human will. May our race flourish forever, may it live in peace and order..."

As he chanted an ancient ritual in an archaic tongue, the Primordial King’s supreme aura spread outward, transforming into a towering ten-thousand-meter Rampage Ape that stood in the starry void. Around him, white flames blazed like a colossal torch, shining with dazzling brilliance.

While he was unseen, everyone on the Blue Planet felt as though something was being drawn from them, flowing toward him. Xia Youhui and the others were stunned when the entire world seemed to twist, layers upon layers of phantom images overlapping and replaying the primeval wilderness.

Majestic ancient palaces stood upon the land, countless robed figures bowing in worship. Giants, ten thousand meters tall, raced across the earth, roaring to the sky and chasing the sun above. Ancient gods descended, and with a wave of their hands, seas became fields, and all living things changed...
