Chapter 746: Celestial Annihilation Satellite, Reentering the Mythical World (I)

In the planar worlds, Chen Chu stood atop the divine, pitch-black mountain, which had already reached ten thousand meters high. Behind him, a towering black stone gate slowly emerged as a faint phantom, stretching from earth to sky.

However, that black gate projection only lingered for a few breaths before vanishing as Chen Chu gradually opened his eyes. He murmured softly to himself.

"The entrance to Heaven's Gate has now been successfully linked to the Blue Planet. As long as I can enter the Supreme Hell, I’ll be able to return to the planar worlds using the coordinates, and from there, return to the Blue Planet."

To ensure the safety of his future infiltration behind the Purgatory Clan’s lines, Chen Chu had thought long and hard before ultimately choosing this path.

As the one who had created the planar worlds, Chen Chu could freely enter and exit them at will. The place where he disappeared from would then become the coordinate point linking to the material universe.

This method offered great convenience for daily cultivation. However, if he were being hunted by a demon-god-level powerhouse and tried to enter the planar worlds, his location could be locked on, the space torn open, and he could be forcibly summoned.

Even traversing via the Supreme Hell required a coordinate to make the jump—such as the planar worlds—before he could return through them.

Of course, this approach had its downside. The next time he entered the planar worlds, his exit point would be the Blue Planet, unless he manually severed the link with Heaven's Gate.

After completing the final preparations, Chen Chu took a deep breath. The space-time summoning mark on the back of his left hand radiated a dim blue glow.

Hum!

Centered around Chen Chu, the Space-Time Altar appeared, spanning hundreds of meters and woven from countless sequences of glowing blue runes. A silver vortex slowly opened atop the altar.

At the same time, back in the rift world, space twisted before the Dragon Emperor, forming a rotating silver vortex.

After modifying the Space-Time Summoning Secret Art, it became far easier to simply link two points using an altar, rather than forcibly opening an interdimensional passage.

Whoosh!

A hot wave of air burst out from the Dragon Emperor’s nostrils. The space bubble floating before it quivered slightly, sending hundreds of Life Crystals spiraling into the vortex.

Eeya! Eeya!

Sensing the familiar fluctuations in space and time, the Little Purple Dragon atop the Dragon Emperor's head sleepily opened its eyes. Its tiny paws instinctively wiped away some drool.

The Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.

Little Yi, it’s not a sacrifice this time.

Confusion flickered in the Purple Dragon’s drowsy eyes as it murmured,

Still trying to build good relationships?

From what it remembered, the Dragon Emperor had already given a few offerings—was that not enough?

Watching the silver vortex gradually fade away, the Purple Dragon smacked its lips, then flopped back down to sleep, an obscure yet powerful aura rippling faintly from its body.

As the Dragon Emperor also lay back down to continue its transformation toward the titan level, Chen Chu held two golden level 8 Life Crystals in his hands and triggered them with a thought.

Convert to attribute points.

[You have converted two high-purity Life Crystals, gaining 3,980 and 3,714 attribute points respectively...]

This time, most of the Life Crystals were at least level 5 and of high quality, with quite a few at level 8. After converting them all, his attribute points surged from just over 50,000 to more than 170,000.

Over 120,000 attribute points gained—truly worthy of the mythical world, where high-level mutated beasts roamed everywhere.

Although attribute points could no longer directly enhance laws or boost his cultivation level after breaking through to the king level, nor could they further evolve the Dragon Emperor’s innate abilities, they were still of great help to Chen Chu.

Without attribute points to simulate the aura of his soul essence, Chen Chu would never have signed any contract with the supreme planes of Hell and the Dark-Red World, no matter how tempting the offer.

Without the blessing of an epiphany aura, his cultivation progress after breaking through to the mythical level would have plummeted, making it impossible to forge ahead with the same momentum.

With a sigh, Chen Chu’s thoughts echoed within his mind.

Consume 120,000 attribute points. Enter epiphany state.

Boom!

The void trembled as a rich epiphany aura condensed into near physical form, enveloping Chen Chu entirely. He immediately entered a deep cultivation state.

While Chen Chu went into seclusion to break through, the battle on the front lines was growing ever fiercer.

Heavenly King Ariste and five other king-level reinforcements arrived. Several kings on the frontlines, whose origin had burned and depleted to the brink, were able to be rotated out, albeit still with severe damage to nearly 60% of their foundations.

Roar!

In the central frontline, Mech No.1 had been cornered by two late-stage demon kings and one middle-stage demon king. With too little blood, flesh, and soul consumed, its behavior grew increasingly savage and berserk.

Within No.1, the eyes of its pilot, Luo Fei, remained cold and emotionless. She simply stared quietly at the stream of fluctuating data on the glowing screen.

[Soul Synchronization rate at 98%, 99%...]

[Warning! Suppress Soul Synchronization rate immediately. Spiritual contamination will occur at 100% synchronization. Warning—resist Mech No. 1’s soul fluctuations.]

Luo Fei finally spoke in a calm, quiet voice. "Decline suppression. Release 20% of No.1’s armor."

[Command received. Releasing 20% of Mech No.1’s exoskeletal control armor. Core energy discharging. Supernatural energy fluctuations surpassing 1000%... 3000%...]

As she watched the numbers on the screen madly spike, Luo Fei’s gaze remained indifferent. It was as though she stood outside the world itself, silently observing from an unfathomable distance across time and space.

Roar!

With part of No.1’s restraints undone, its entire body began to swell. Segments of armor shattered and flew off, revealing purple-gold skin underneath. A massive wave of explosive aura burst from its black-and-red armored form.

Hum!

From No.1’s eyes, two blue-white beams of light shot out. The destructive aura they unleashed caused the two demon kings directly facing them to instinctively dodge.

Boom!

Dozens of kilometers away, a blinding mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The ground trembled, and a horrifying shockwave swept out across the region.

At the same time, No.1 stretched out its massive hand and grasped at a group of crippled alien followers more than twenty kilometers away.

Tens of thousands of aliens were instantly reduced to blood mist by the crushing force. Countless scraps of flesh and soul were drawn toward the purple-gold glow, coalescing into a battle spear hundreds of meters long.

That purple-gold spear appeared completely solid, etched with ancient, mysterious runes. It radiated an eerie aura that made even the three watching demon kings feel deeply unsettled.

"Watch out!" the late-stage demon king at the rear shouted in fury and alarm.

It was already too late. No.1’s body stretched and coiled as it assumed a throwing stance. The long spear in its hand flared with light, emanating waves of blinding brilliance.

Boom!

The spear turned into a beam of light as it blasted out. It pierced the void in an instant, carving out a black tunnel that appeared directly in front of another late-stage demon king.

“Block it!”

That demon king, with three heads and eight arms, turned pale. It quickly formed seals with all eight limbs, drawing in the dark demonic qi from the surrounding kilometers, and gathered it into a thick, heavy war shield that radiated an aura of immovable might.

Boom!

The devastating blow pierced straight through the hundred-meter-thick black-and-gold shield. The spear continued through the demon king’s true form, gravely wounding it.

However, No.1 hadn’t been targeting that one. The instant the spear severely injured the demon king, No.1 dropped to all fours like a feral beast and sprang into the air.

"No! Help me!" Despite towering at three hundred meters tall and seeming more massive than No. 1, the middle-stage demon king screamed in despair as the monster suddenly loomed overhead.

Boom!

No. 1’s massive fist clenched. The space around the demon king within a kilometer radius froze, then compressed rapidly, shrinking the demon king down until No. 1 seized its prey in one hand.

It was the exact same scene that had played out on the Abyssal Battlefield. The late-stage demon king at the rear roared in fury, slashing forward with a colossal demonic spear over a thousand meters long that tore through heaven and earth.

Boom!

The powerful blow struck No.1’s back, but was blocked by a golden barrier. The space around them quaked violently for several kilometers, yet the formless crystal-like wall remained intact.

The field enveloping No.1 resembled Chen Chu’s planar barrier, but was perhaps even stronger and more advanced.

Crack!

No.1 sank its teeth into the demon king it had caught. In an instant, most of the demon king’s true form vanished, erased and devoured by a force that resembled the power of laws themselves.

This horrifying scene left the remaining two late-stage demon kings visibly shaken.

"Stay away! That mech has entered an awakened state. Don’t approach it!"

Boom!

As a fierce voice echoed through the skies, a terrifying aura erupted above. Descending from the heavens came a beginning-stage great demon king, joining from the rear lines.

In its previous two battles, No.1 had devoured more than a million alien vassals and Purgatory True Demons. It had also consumed the flesh and souls of several demon kings. With each battle, it had grown more monstrous.

Now, once again entering a berserk state, even with a great demon king joining forces with two demon kings, they could barely hold it back, buying some much-needed relief for the forces above.

High above, ten thousand kilometers in the sky, the Celestial King and First Councilor Qian Tian stood in the void, surrounded by dense law fluctuations. Opposite them stood two demon-god-level powerhouses. They coldly looked down upon the ever-more-brutal battlefield below.

The Celestial King slowly said, "It seems you've already resolved yourselves to starting an extinction war."

The demon god standing atop the head of a peak titan-level beast answered in a deep voice, "Humans, you have no future left. Now that we’ve gathered the strength of both empires, your only fate is annihilation."

A massive light wheel slowly turned behind the Celestial King as he replied, equally cold. "Is that so? Then I hope you're prepared to be buried with us."

Just as the Celestial King's words fell, a sharp red alarm suddenly flared within the logistics base city behind Passage Three.

"Received first priority command from the councilor. Activate the Annihilation Celestial Satellite. Target: Left frontal zone of the Sky Battlefield. Coordinates locked. Begin adjusting spatial passage angle."
