Chapter 511: Fifth Evolution, Vajra, Indestructible (II)

Ten thousand meters above, the Dragon Emperor, now emitting a black and gold radiance, had completed its ability upgrade. An aura of indestructibility and immense, crushing power enveloped it.

Its sheer size radiated an invisible force that distorted the surrounding space, creating a field resembling a black hole.

As the Dragon Emperor savored the changes within, Chen Chu’s gaze settled on the translucent display in front of him.

[Abilities]

Defense. Vajra Divine transformation

- An enhanced Defense ability pushed to its peak, granting absolute invincibility through a unified structure capable of withstanding limitless pressure.

- Indestructible Vajra: through the peak power of this enhanced ability, the vajra law tempers the entire body, making muscles, bones, and scales more resilient than ever.

Note: This ability now possesses vajra properties; upon breaking through the mythical level, it can directly touch the laws and advance to the vajra law, one of the top-level supreme laws.

As he had expected, it was another top-level supreme law.

Seeing the note on his Defense ability, both Chen Chu and the Dragon Emperor shared a subtle smile—one exuding elegance, the other ferocity and intimidation.

Now that the ability enhancement was complete, the next step was the fifth evolution.

Once it reached the mythical level, the Dragon Emperor would wield two top-level supreme laws. With its immensely powerful physique, its battle prowess would truly become formidable.

Additionally, once it had broken through to the mythical level, its six other abilities would also grow stronger as its base strength increased. In its Gigantification state, it would be capable of tearing apart even peak mythical colossal beasts. However, there was one last matter to settle before it entered an evolutionary slumber.

The Dragon Emperor lowered its gaze to the sea, where its colossal beast underlings awaited.

Boom!

With the mighty reach of its massive claws, the Dragon Emperor’s crushing king-level aura blanketed the Single-Horned Kun, the Dragon Turtle, and Zhulong.

Responding to this aura, the bloodline power within the three colossal beasts surged, becoming exceptionally active.

Having already reached the peak of level 8 and awaiting this very moment, the Dragon Turtle and the Single-Horned Kun succumbed to powerful drowsiness and sank slowly into the ocean depths.

Zhulong, however, held back the surge of its bloodline power. It consumed three high-level Dark Molten Divine Fruits in one gulp first.

Boom!

Darkness and light alternated all over Zhulong, though this time, its ability covered only a kilometer radius. It was as if it was shifting into a separate temporal layer.

Having helped the three colossal beasts awaken their bloodline powers, the Dragon Emperor let out a resonant, powerful growl.

Saixitia, Ghidorah, I will be entering a deep slumber shortly. I leave our territory in your hands.

Saixitia, circling overhead, roared with pride.

With the mighty Saixitia here, no creature can disturb your rest, Ao Tian!

The Dragon Emperor nodded toward the silver dragon slightly before descending back into the depths of the whirlpool, which had sunk over a hundred meters further.

Now measuring over 320 meters in length, the fearsome Dragon Emperor seized the massive corpse of the Deep Sea Black-Striped Beast and devoured it in one bite.

At that moment, Chen Chu declared, ."Begin the fifth evolution."

Boom!

Within the Dragon Emperor, months of accumulated life energy erupted, surging like a roaring tsunami.

Deep within, an ancient aura was also awakened, and a sense of timelessness spread outward.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor’s consciousness trembled as a wave of intense drowsiness washed over it, bringing fragmented memories to the surface.

In those hazy images, the earth lay shattered, and the skies were ablaze.

Beyond this world, an immeasurably vast colossal beast stretched across the heavens. Its maw slowly consumed everything in sight.

Whoosh!

The Silver Colossal Dragon beat its wings, descending beside the slumbering black and red beast.

With a flash of reverse-scale light, massive silver scales appeared, each more than twenty meters wide and over ten meters thick, pulsating with incredibly potent laws of power.

Saixitia, those are scary!

The pressure of a dozen scales of law caused the Nine-Headed Serpent to quickly back away, its heads swaying nervously.

Horn Hime, you will continue to lead the orca legion on patrol, hunting and collecting Life Crystals from the qualified mutated creatures.

Ghidorah, six of your heads will remain focused on cultivation, while the remaining three will patrol the surrounding seas. Ensure no mutated creature above level 7 comes within a hundred kilometers of this area.

General Crab, follow Ghidorah and patrol the perimeter as well.

With the Dragon Emperor now asleep, the Silver Colossal Dragon regained its dignified presence as the Dragon King of the Dragon Palace, issuing orders with a low, authoritative growl.

The female orcas let out calm squeaks.

Yes, King Saixitia.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The Silver Colossal Dragon often seemed like a child around the Dragon Emperor. However, when it was serious, it commanded such respect that no beast dared defy its orders.

Even Ghidorah, which once defeated the Silver Colossal Dragon at level 8, stayed silent before the intimidating force of the scales of law.

After dismissing the other colossal beasts, the Silver Colossal Dragon settled down beside the Dragon Emperor, its tail swaying gently and sending ripples of watchful wind through the air.

Sleep beckoned.

Chen Chu massaged his temples, suppressing the strong urge to rest coming from the other half of his consciousness.

Since he had bypassed the quasi-mythical stage in refining laws, this evolution would require the Dragon Emperor to remain in deep slumber for a long period to complete the transformation from a transcendent body to a law-based body.

Now that the colossal beast avatar was in slumber, Chen Chu could finally focus on matters on his end. He cast his gaze over the thirty thousand attribute points on the translucent page.

Most of these recent attribute points had gone toward strengthening the Dragon Emperor, leaving his own progress somewhat slower.

For instance, his abilities Soul Splitter and Double Void Pupils were still at the top level, and his secret art, Space-Time Summoning, had only reached intermediate mastery.

Though the Dragon Emperor was asleep, he could still summon its projected power through the Space-Time Altar. However, the strength of that projection depended on the advancement of his secret art and their mutual compatibility.

Given the seamless bond between Chen Chu and his avatar, the primary limit on summoning power lay in the art’s cultivation level.

He focused his attention on the Space-Time Summoning secret art.

[Consume ten thousand attribute points to enhance the secret art?]

Although the intermediate enhancement of this secret art only cost two thousand points, advancing it now required ten thousand due to the higher-tier powers involved.

"Enhance,” he confirmed.

A blue glow flashed across the back of his left hand, and countless rune sequence chains unfolded, forming an intricate altar that filled the room.

The power of enhancement evolved and multiplied the azure rune sequences as the altar expanded. Soon, they encompassed the entire small building.

"Rune manifestation."

As the glowing blue altar emerged in the evening, it drew the attention of many in town. They watched in awe, uncertain of what kind of secret art Chen Chu was cultivating that could manifest runes large enough to cover an entire building.

"Whoa! What's Little Chen doing? He’s generating an extremely intense aura!"

Before the stunned gazes of Baitu Hong and others, countless azure rune sequence chains condensed gradually, forming a twenty-meter-high phantom altar with five layered steps.

Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes. He then made the altar, which had enveloped the entire building, collapse into itself and merge onto the back of his hand, turning it into a blue altar mark.

Simultaneously, the secret art on his attribute page was updated.

[Secret Arts]

Space-Time Summoning Art(Advanced)

- Forms a Space-Time Altar when activated. Bloodline resonance and soul vibration can summon a projection possessing 30% of the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor's power.

- Note: Activating this projection greatly depletes vitality and true power; the longer the projection is active, the greater the cost.

- Note: Once fully enhanced, this secret art can invert the surrounding space-time and summon the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor's true form. After the summoning, the space-time will revert and return the colossal beast to its realm.

Chen Chu murmured, "A projection with thirty percent strength, huh?"

With the Dragon Emperor's extraordinary power, once it reached the mythical level, even a projection wielding thirty percent of its might would be enough to rip apart and decimate any ordinary king-level opponent.

Satisfied with the results, Chen Chu nodded. The battle he had fought with Qingqiu Minghui back then had been in preparation for this very moment.

Nevertheless, he still had to push the secret art to its absolute limit to summon the colossal beast’s true form. In doing so, he would essentially be gaining a powerful bodyguard by his side, allowing him to call upon the Dragon Emperor to crush anyone who displeased him.

Of course, that notion was just a fantasy.

Even a simple guess would reveal that summoning the true form of a colossal beast would come at a terrifying cost, especially given that it would distort space and time. Such a massive exchange could instantly drain Chen Chu’s energy. Hence, it was only suitable as a trump card.

[Fully enhancing the Space-Time Summoning secret art requires fifty thousand attribute points. Current attribute points insufficient; enhancement unavailable.]

Fifty thousand. Chen Chu looked away, once again feeling the shortage of attribute points.

It seemed he would have to find a way to enter the mythical world himself to obtain more.

Given the power of the entire Federation, the speed at which they could gather Life Crystals was impressive, especially since the mythical world was inhabited by countless enormous mutated creatures.

However, after decades of hunting, most of the mutated beasts near human territories had been nearly wiped out, and the main forces were stationed on two front-line battlefields.

Currently, only the Exploration Division ventured deeper into the mythical world, and those expeditions focused on exploration rather than specifically hunting mutated creatures. After all, combat carried the risk of casualties.

In these conflicts, either a colossal beast or a cultivator could lose their life.

Ultimately, Chen Chu would have to take matters into his own hands unless he could rise high enough within the Federation’s ranks to command a portion of its forces for his own purposes.

The batch of Life Crystals that Xie Chen had gathered for him previously was an exceptional request; asking again could seem insatiable.

After all, despite Chen Chu’s cultivation journey so far, he hadn’t offered much back to the Federation or humanity, instead using the Federation’s protection to cultivate and grow stronger.

Now his cultivation had already reached the eighth stage. It was higher than most cultivators who could enter the mythical world. They were usually only in the Fourth or Fifth Heavenly Realm.

Unfortunately, he would have to wait two more days for the forbidden weapon from the Councilor's side.

He also had to wait for the Phantasmal Ocean Demon disc that he had requested and the divine materials needed to forge the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd.

Hence, for now, he continued cultivating.

Chen Chu flipped his hand and took out a Ninth-Grade Blood Lotus Seed, which radiated intense energy, from his Sumeru Space.

Boom!

As he swallowed the lotus seed, boundless blood energy erupted within him.

Fueled by this pure blood energy, Chen Chu's flesh and blood transformed, rapidly evolving toward a higher life level.

Although Chen Chu had focused on the Dragon Emperor these past two days, he hadn’t neglected his own cultivation. He advanced at an astonishing rate after recently breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

After all, his goal was to reach the Ninth Heavenly Realm within a year—perhaps even attain the rank of king.
