Chapter 1051: Heavenly Dao’s Form, Divine Fusion (I)

Chen Chu suddenly returned from the frontline, his true form expanding to ten thousand kilometers. The invisible ripples of power surging from him nearly tore the Blue Planet apart, shocking everyone to the core.

Only then did the more than two billion ordinary people and tens of millions of common cultivators on the Blue Planet finally understand the true meaning of the words "supreme powerhouse." It was a form of life that stood entirely above the human species itself, an existence far mightier than many gods and Buddhas of myth and legend.

Yet, as they gazed upon the projection in the heavens beside the sun, a projection that appeared even more towering than before, an inexplicable wave of fear welled up in everyone’s hearts.

Something's wrong. The Divine Might King is supposed to be holding the frontlines against the Purgatory Clan. Why did he suddenly return? And why is he appearing beside the sun, just like that colossal mech?

Anyone who wasn’t a fool could tell something was deeply amiss. This was no mere unexpected change in the battlefield situation.

Is the end of the world coming?

Lin Xue’s expression grew grave. “Little Yu, something serious may have happened.”

Because her strength was too low, even Lin Xue, an advanced cultivator, had no qualification to know about the second surge. That was classified information reserved for kings and above.

“It’s fine. Even if the sky collapses, there will be taller ones to hold it up. Isn’t Chen Chu still there?” Lin Yu seemed unconcerned. Faced with such a world-ending crisis, cultivators of their level couldn’t help even if they wanted to.

Even the kings and heavenly kings in the Forbidden Zone Battlefield were staring in shock at the projection above the sky, especially that immeasurably vast figure.

Heavenly King Jiuyou was stunned. “Why has Chen Chu gone back to hold up the heavens!?”

Boom!

The colossal Black Tortoise, ten thousand meters tall, strode through the air, sending out a ring of yellow shockwaves that swept thousands of kilometers and shattered a dark demon phantom exuding the aura of a great demon king. Only then did Heavenly King Xuanwu raise his head, his expression grave. “It could be that something has gone wrong on Mech No.1’s side. This is troublesome.”

The kings and heavenly kings all looked heavy-faced. The colossal beast that had come to aid them was indeed strong, able to block the nearly invincible Primordial Ancestor, but the true pillar of the human race was still Chen Chu.

With Qian Tian fallen, and the Primordial King returned to the Blue Planet, only the Celestial King was now stationed here, yet he was in a special condition. He was the hidden card prepared for Thunder Fiery’s defeat and couldn’t act rashly, only watch over the rear. If Chen Chu failed in holding up the heavens and perished, the destruction of the world would be a loss the human race could never bear.

Deep in the solar system, at the Heart of the World, Mech No.1 shook violently. From within came Luo Fei’s cool yet faintly anxious voice. “Chen Chu, let go. You will die.”

“Die?” The towering Chen Chu, ten thousand kilometers tall, slowly lowered his head to look at No.1 beneath his feet, barely a hundred kilometers in size, and calmly said, “Don’t worry. I’m only holding up a world. Rise!”

Boom!

From the depths of his soul, a power erupted. It was one that stood above the principles of heaven and earth, above billions of living beings, on par with the heavens themselves.

Roar!

A deep, azure-tinged dragon’s cry shook the void, suffused with indescribable majesty. Under the pull of that faint heavenly-tier aura in the core of his soul essence, Chen Chu’s long hair whipped wildly, golden-black dragon horns sprouted from his head, and a dragon tail tens of thousands of kilometers long emerged behind him.

In an instant, the entire solar system quaked. The white glowing Heart of the World blazed brighter, unleashing an endless torrent of principle origin like a galaxy pouring down.

Boom!

Chen Chu’s aura surged. His body, previously weakened from burning his life essence in prolonged explosive combat, began to recover at an astonishing pace with the infusion of a world’s origin energy; even the life essence he had consumed was replenished.

The moment his injuries healed, his True Demon God Form, having already reached the infant stage of the primordial level, radiating an immense pull. Every fiber of flesh, every bit of blood, every cell, even his genetic sequence chains were fully activated, brimming with a massive amount of vitality.

Chen Chu’s true form was like a desert that had been barren for tens of thousands of years. It now absorbed the essence of a great world and origin containing the information of entire star systems, growing at a staggering rate.

All of his ability runes and law sequence chains evolved at rapid speed. Even the principles of Supreme Power and Primordial Genesis absorbed boundless principle origin information under the unseen guidance of that heavenly-tier aura, perfecting and extending themselves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His cultivation at that moment seemed to have no bottleneck, skyrocketing wildly. Very soon, he broke through to the middle stage of the ancient titan level, and under Luo Fei’s astonished gaze, he reached the late stage. With his cultivation soaring, Chen Chu’s true form grew even more immense; thirteen thousand kilometers, fifteen thousand kilometers, thirty thousand kilometers...

The projection manifested in space swelled to more than fifteen million kilometers. The sun, over a million kilometers in diameter, now sat in his palm like a basketball.

His aura grew ever greater, shaking space and time, and under the magnification of the world’s principle origin, it almost blanketed the entire solar system.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the Blue Planet, the more than two billion people who had just managed to stand once again felt their legs weaken. Under that supreme and boundless pressure, they instinctively knelt, their faces filled with awe and dread.

"Oh fuck! Ah Chu is absolutely insane this time!" The instant he fell to his knees, Xia Youhui chose to flip onto his back and lie down, his face flushed with excitement as he stared at the figure in the sky, which looked like a god of creation.

Beside him, Liu Feng copied Xia Youhui’s move and lay sprawled on the ground, his voice trembling. "Chen Chu, you may be powerful, but it's gonna take a lot more to make me kneel."

"Did he succeed?" Yan Ruoyi slumped weakly into her chair, her eyes shining with excitement as she stared at the ever more dazzling figure in the heavens.

At that moment, there were only two people still standing on the entire Blue Planet: Chen Hu and Zhang Xiaolan, gazing up at the sky. Perhaps it was because their bloodlines were the same, but they felt no discomfort at all under the divine pressure of that descending supreme god.

Instead, in Chen Hu’s body, a surge of immense power began to awaken, nourished by the feedback of Chen Chu’s bloodline power. Zhang Xiaolan also felt her whole body warm up, as if suddenly brimming with strength. She even had the illusion that she could punch through an entire skyscraper.

In outer space, the Primordial King, bearing the Flame of Civilization and channeling the power of the human race into No.1, looked somewhat stunned. He hesitated, unsure whether to continue empowering No.1 or to direct the civilization’s power toward Chen Chu instead.

No, it looks like Chen Chu no longer needs either me nor the Eternal Divine Tree.

In the Primordial King’s perception, the entire solar system felt alive again, brimming with vitality. The once-disordered principles of heaven and earth, thrown into chaos when torn from the original universe, were now reweaving themselves into proper cycles.

They had succeeded. The heavens had been upheld, yet the ease of that success left the Primordial King struggling to react. They had spent more than twenty years laying out their plans, and even with everything going smoothly, they had nearly failed. No.1, despite all of the hopes pinned on it, had still fallen short.

However, Chen Chu had simply stepped in, been acknowledged by heaven and earth, and used his own being to complete the Heart of the World. Now, at the world’s core in the solar system, Chen Chu’s cultivation had already broken through to the peak of the ancient titan level, and it still showed no sign of stopping.

His thirty-thousand-kilometer true form was shrouded in brilliant light, like a glowing egg suspended at the center of the world, expanding and contracting with each breath. At his chest, that wisp of heavenly-tier aura condensed into tangible form after absorbing the vast world origin, becoming a white glowing sphere.

It seemed to be nurturing the existence of the Heavenly Dao itself.

With Chen Chu taking on most of the strain, Luo Fei, piloting No.1 at his side, suddenly felt her pressure ease. Empowered by the continued influx of world origin, her strength was still climbing. Even she couldn’t help but be shaken by the overwhelming power flooding her.

She felt that the Blue Planet, or rather the solar system, was immensely strong. Even the mere spillover of its world origin was enough to sustain the birth of a true-spirit-level emperor. No wonder it had once carried seven ancient emperors; even torn from the mythical world by force, its foundation was still unimaginably deep.

Roar!

In the mythical world, the Destructive Dragon Emperor roared. Its aura, which had already been burning to the limit, suddenly soared once more.

Boom!

Its tail blade, forged of black-gold light, swept across the battlefield. Time itself perished under the blade light, leaving behind a pitch-black cross-section a million kilometers long.

Boom!

The Primordial Ancestor raised its demonic spear to block. The resulting clash unleashed an overwhelming force, shattering the heavens and earth. The very fabric of space-time in that region was annihilated by a single strike between them.

At the peak of the true spirit level, such a condensed manifestation of powerful principles could already affect the surrounding flow of time, able to step into the river of time at will. Reaching the next step would allow one to leap out of the river of time entirely, standing above all beings and heaven and earth, suspended beyond the sky.

Boom! Boom!

The Ancestor’s two arms exploded, shattered by the dragon’s claws in the instant it blocked the tail blade. However, in that same moment, a demonic mark struck the Dragon Emperor’s chest.

Boom!

The force sent the Dragon Emperor hurtling a million kilometers away, smashing apart the void. The armor-like scales on its chest, fractured with rifts, shattered into countless glowing fragments that burned into nothingness.

Come again!

The Dragon Emperor appeared instantly above the Ancestor’s head, its aura flaring even higher. Its claws clasped together like a master of the human path, shining with dazzling light as it poured all of its power into the strike.

Boom!

For a million kilometers, the land was torn apart. Blazing lava erupted, sweeping outward in concentric rings for millions of kilometers and falling as a rain of fiery meteors.

Amid the burning sky, the Ancestor, bracing its spear against the blow, was smashed into the earth for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Standing amid the raging void, its face twisted in shocked fury. "Impossible!"

The Dragon Emperor was already covered in countless cracks and breaking apart, and its aura had been burning to its utmost limit. For it to suddenly recover its strength defied the principles of the world.

Roar!

The Dragon Emperor raised its head and roared toward the heavens. Golden-black light blazed from its body, condensing into a beam that pierced hundreds of thousands of kilometers of space as it charged the Ancestor.

Battle erupted once again.
