Chapter 1135: Young Ones Still, Cosmic Lives (I)

With the arrival of the Eternal Golden Divine Race and the Heavenly Silver-Winged Ants, the four peak forces in this part of the chaotic starry sky were now complete, including their guardians.

When Chen Chu sensed the strength of that Silver-Winged Ant, Shi Feirou’s gaze also turned solemn. She said in a low voice, "Big Brother Chen, be careful of that Silver-Winged guardian. It is named Darius. Although its realm hasn’t yet broken through to the primordial level, at the late stage of the true spirit level it reversed the refinement of its bloodline and succeeded in transcending. Its racial power is now at a level comparable to a life-bound ability, and allows it to melt all supreme treasures and divine weapons, extracting their essence and fusing it into its true form. It’s perfectly compatible with the Silver-Winged Ants. After refining countless resources and more than a dozen supreme treasures, that Ant’s true form already rivals a primordial star, and its combat strength is peerless. Master once said, once this Ant breaks through to the primordial level, its strength will become truly terrifying."

"A life-bound ability at the primordial level... No wonder I could feel some pressure." Even Chen Chu was moved this time.

No one knew better than him how powerful a life-bound ability was, since he had already mastered one before even breaking through to the true spirit level. It had allowed him, at the beginning stage of the true spirit level, to possess limit-breaking combat power on par with an ordinary primordial star.

That “ordinary” referred to those so-called geniuses who, while monstrous in talent, had almost exhausted their potential upon breaking through to the primordial level and could no longer fight across realms. Granted, anyone who broke through to the primordial level was already one of the most monstrous beings of its civilization, fighting across realms since the beginning of cultivation.

However, in the outer heavens, there was always someone stronger, and among geniuses there were levels of strength. Some monsters had accumulated terrifying foundations, so even after breaking through to the true spirit level and then to the primordial level, they could still fight across realms. The Dragon Emperor of the End and Chen Chu were two examples.

That accumulation came from many aspects. The Dragon Emperor’s body had continuously evolved, compressed, and grown until, by the time it reached the true spirit level, its physique was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than colossal beasts of the same realm. It possessed ten divine-transformation-level abilities, supreme principles, and a life-bound ability. This was the foundation that allowed the Dragon Emperor to battle across major realms.

Chen Chu was the same. Although a little weaker than the Dragon Emperor, his body was still hundreds of times stronger than colossal beasts of the same realm, supported by two supreme principles. On top of that, he wielded five top-level divine abilities, one supreme divine ability, a pseudo-world-creation-level weapon and battle armor, and the Ten-Fold Heavenly Gate’s life-bound ability.

All of these accumulations forged two monstrous beings with heaven-defying power. In addition, the mythical world was boundless, while the Sea of Chaos nurtured infinite worlds and countless civilizations and races. Under such conditions, heaven-defying geniuses naturally emerged in endless numbers.

Like the Silver-Winged Ant before them, Darius. However, compared to Chen Chu, its limit-breaking edge lay only in a racial power comparable to a life-bound ability, and the principle it grasped was merely equal to that of a primordial star. That was while its realm had already reached the semi-primordial level.

After finishing her introduction of the Silver-Winged Ant, Shi Feirou also spoke of the Eternal Golden powerhouse named Floretia. Its strength was about the same as the Shadow War God, a standard semi-primordial being, wielding a world-creation-level divine weapon. Along with three powerful racial abilities, supreme principles, and bloodline strength of the true emperor level, its true strength had also reached that of a primordial star. What surprised Chen Chu, however, was that this towering, burly, and fierce-looking figure was actually female.

While Chen Chu was sizing up the Silver-Winged Ant and the Eternal Golden guardians, those two alien powerhouses were also studying him. Looking at the young man in a dark imperial robe and crown, seated on a purple-black throne, with a mighty aura swirling about him, both alien powerhouses revealed solemn eyes.

This human is strong. Extremely dangerous!

The golden figure with sharp horns, its voice shaking the starry sky, slowly said, "Before coming here, I had already heard that the humans’ Chaotic Imperial City has received a new city lord. I am Floretia of the Eternal Golden Divine Race. I hope to have the chance to spar with you. To guard the Chaotic Imperial City, your strength must be on the same level as Flamewheel, perhaps even stronger. I wonder if I will have that chance."

On the surface, the Eternal Golden Race and the human race were neutral and friendly, so the atmosphere between them remained cordial.

Chen Chu nodded slightly. "Your praise is too kind. The Eternal Heavenly God's power of your noble race is vast indeed. I am curious too."

As he said this, Chen Chu turned his gaze to the Silver-Winged Ant. However, unlike the Eternal Golden Race, the Silver-Winged Ants preferred no contact with other civilizations, remaining aloof. Thus, when Chen Chu’s gaze fell on it, the Silver-Winged powerhouse gave no response, its figure blurred and hidden within hexagonal silver radiance.

Just then, in another direction of the starry sky, space twisted. One after another, powerful auras appeared, their brilliance lighting up the void as more alien powerhouses arrived. Among these newcomers, only a few from top-level civilizations were worthy of Chen Chu’s attention.

At this point, the usefulness of Shi Feirou as deputy city lord became clear. As the one in charge of intelligence, she recognized most of the surrounding civilization powerhouses.

She pointed at dozens of ten-meter-tall aliens whose forms resembled humans, but whose entire bodies were covered in bronze-colored fine scales, with a single blood-red horn growing from their heads. "Big Brother Chen, those are from the Blood-Red Horned Race. The one leading them is Yusong Yuxiang, one of the top ten geniuses of their younger generation. It is at the beginning stage of the true spirit level, and wields a top-level offensive supreme treasure. Its combat power rivals the late stage of the true spirit level."

Younger generation...

Chen Chu’s eyes shifted slightly. "How many years has it cultivated to reach the true spirit level?"

A true-spirit-level powerhouse still counted as part of the younger generation? Could it be that this creature had reached the true spirit level in only a hundred years? That kind of cultivation talent made even Chen Chu solemn.

Yet while he was carefully observing that horned alien far off in the distance, its arms wound with a blood-red chain, Shi Feirou said, "According to intelligence reports, Yusong Yuxiang has already cultivated for more than eleven thousand years."

"How many!?" Chen Chu turned his head toward Shi Feirou.

"11,370 years." This time, she reported the number precisely.

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment. "Over ten thousand years old, and still called the younger generation? You’re sure there’s no mistake?"

Even with the mythical world’s life shackles and assimilation of time, taking ten thousand years to reach the true spirit level was a huge amount of time. Yet it still ranked in the top ten of its race and was even counted as part of the younger generation?
