Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 419: Civilizations Successor, Three Hundred Times the Strength (I)

While the other geniuses explored the Oasis or delved into the ruins, after a night's effort, the adjustments to the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor and the Gigantification rune were nearing completion.

Naturally, this rapid progress was related to the inherent compatibility of these runes with colossal beasts.

If this rune were to be adapted for human use, at least a small part of the sequence chains would need to be removed, while the rest would require compression and adjustment without affecting the gigantification effect.

This was also why humans generally borrowed the ability runes of colossal beasts, rather than using them directly.

In the sea of consciousness, as the vitality phantom of the black-red colossal beast gradually approached and overlapped with the red colossal beast formed by the rune, the night's epiphany finally concluded.

Whoosh!

The Thunder Emperor exhaled a scorching breath, a trace of satisfaction gleaming in its golden vertical pupils.

The Gigantification ability rune had been fully adjusted. The next step was similar to cultivating an art—first, condense the outer shell of the basic rune sequence chains and record them on the attribute page.

Then, naturally, use attribute points to directly enhance it, completing it in one step.

On the hillside, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the transparent page in front of him, contemplating the remaining 3,000 attribute points.

"Time to take a break."

Two consecutive epiphanies had drained his mental energy; Chen Chu needed to rest and recover.

It was only then that he noticed the Tianyuan Stones in his hand had turned to powder at some point, and the battle phantom's materialization progress had increased to 24%.

After another two days of cultivation, he should be able to break through to the middle stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

Outside the void's fault, Xie Chen watched as the Purple Spirit values of the geniuses at the top of the leaderboard continued to increase, while Chen Chu's remained stagnant, which surprised him.

"What’s going on with that kid?"

Saying this, Xie Chen activated the sub-eye tracking for Chen Chu. Instantly, a high-altitude aerial view of Chen Chu sitting cross-legged on the hillside and cultivating appeared in the massive Eye of the Sky.

The two kings paused, and Xie Chen remarked curiously, "Why is he still cultivating right now?"

For these geniuses, just entering the ruins should have been the moment to focus on exploration or slaying contaminated monsters in preparation for the path to divinity, right?

Ji Yongning shook his head. "I don’t know. This kid has always been mysterious. If Zhang Tianyi hadn't used the Void-Piercing Eye to confirm that his soul and body are fully integrated, some might have thought he’d been possessed."

During Yan Ruoyi's final concert, Qingqiu Mingyue’s arrival hadn’t just been to provide some cover for the king Zhang Tianyi, but also to observe Chen Chu.

It was unavoidable—the speed of Chen Chu's rise was too exaggerated, almost a straight upward surge.

In normal circumstances, the Federation's top-level geniuses all had detailed records.

Some had awakened their abilities from a young age, or had high physical vitality suitable for genetic fusion; others were born with sharp and intelligent minds, suited for the path of mech martial arts.

Additionally, these top-level geniuses had displayed extraordinary talent as soon as they began cultivating.

An Fuqing’s initial cultivation talent was unmatched at Nantian Martial Arts High School, and after reaching the Third Heavenly Realm, she comprehended her abilities, soaring to new heights.

Li Hao, another genius, possessed Innate Divine Power, which led to a second transformation when combined with cultivation arts.

Even the Beast King Bardas, the hidden monster Bredos, and mech genius Gabriella, along with Ji Wuji, all had well-documented paths to success.

While there were indeed geniuses who took time to accumulate before making a breakthrough, they, too, usually had years of preparation before their sudden realization, such as the Heavenly King Xuanwu, who only made his mark in his twenties.

However, Chen Chu's case—starting with a mediocre talent, then progressing faster and faster until surpassing everyone within half a year—was too extraordinary. Even the Innate Awakeners of the past couldn't compare.

Of course, the Federation wasn’t targeting Chen Chu; it was just that at this level of genius, caution was necessary since they were approaching the path to divinity.

If there were any issues with such a genius, the consequences would be even more severe than with Xiao Tianyi. At least he didn't obtain the ancient civilization's inheritance back then.

Fortunately, although Chen Chu’s rise was dramatic, Zhang Tianyi had confirmed there were no issues.

In his assessment, Chen Chu's physical ability was comparable to that of an Innate Awakener. His sheer physical strength alone could overpower cultivators of the same level, making him unstoppable.

Coupled with his terrifying cultivation talent—reaching the Seventh Heavenly Realm in just over six months, along with creating a secret scripture within a month—he had already been classified as a successor of Federation civilization.

This identity was highly special, viewed as the hope of civilization's next generation.

Therefore, as long as Chen Chu appeared within the vicinity of a king, no matter how important their current mission was, they were required to prioritize his safety and protect him until he ascended to the rank of king himself.

This also applied to the current ruins exploration. If Chen Chu were to encounter any danger later on, Xie Chen and Ji Yongning would intervene directly, even if it meant triggering the Void Tide early and pushing the continent away.

Compared to most of the ruins in the Oasis that had already been explored, and the world origin that could simply be refined in the mythical world, Chen Chu and his generation, who represented the visible future of humanity, were far more important.

This was why the two always kept an eye on Chen Chu. However, Chen Chu was unaware of this, and the Federation wouldn’t inform them either.

This was to prevent these geniuses from becoming overly arrogant from the Federation’s excessive attention, losing their respect for power, and becoming reckless or aggressive when facing danger or stronger opponents later on.

In such a situation, they very well could one day die on the path to mythology.

In this dangerous era, even kings didn’t dare claim invincibility, as there was always a risk of falling, to say nothing of geniuses who hadn’t fully grown yet.

Under the watchful eyes of the two kings, Chen Chu quickly took out another Tianyuan Stone, drawing in transcendent energy from hundreds of meters around and entering a cultivation state.

"I don’t get it." Xie Chen shook his head and then switched the Eye of the Sky’s view to focus on Li Daoyi and others.

This ruins exploration was essentially meant for these top-level geniuses to come into contact with void monsters, explore inheritances, and incidentally gather a significant amount of world origin.

Consume one thousand attribute points to activate the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor’s epiphany state.

Boom!

As Chen Chu entered the epiphany state again, the vitality within the Thunder Emperor surged violently, and its majestic, fierce spiritual will exploded. Its level 9 vitality seemed limitless.

In the epiphany state, without concern for the cost, complex rune sequence chains began to form from nothing, condensing and merging with the muscles and bones throughout its body.

As the new ability sequence chains integrated, the seven major abilities already fused with the Thunder Emperor’s body were activated, unleashing power fluctuations.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blue-black thunderbolts roared, shattering the surrounding ice, while the scorching golden flames burned, causing the ice within more than a kilometer radius to start melting.

On the surface of the Thunder Emperor’s body, black and dark red defensive and power forces intertwined. The aura of power it emitted caused the surrounding space to warp.

This was the might of a quasi-mythical colossal beast, whose mere aura of power was so terrifying.

The intense commotion caught the attention of the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, Single-Horned Kun, and Nine-Headed Serpent. Each of them raised their heads to look over.

Under the gaze of the three colossal beasts, the Thunder Emperor’s aura grew stronger, and red patterns began to appear on its black-and-red scales.

As the red patterns slowly covered its entire body, the Thunder Emperor’s size started to expand, growing from over 150 meters to nearly 160 with a series of cracking sounds.

With its body size increasing by several meters, the aura of power the Thunder Emperor emitted became even more formidable.

Suddenly, its eyes snapped open, and it let out a deep roar. Roar! Not enough!

Far away in the Oasis, Chen Chu also opened his eyes, a fierce aura emanating from him as he focused on the new ability displayed on the transparent page before him.

Ability: Gigantification [Level: Ordinary, special ability. Consumes biological energy stored in cells to increase body size by 0.05. Strength and defense are enhanced proportionally.]

When the Thunder Emperor condensed a new ability rune by adjusting it from nothing, it did indeed acquire a new ability.

However, this ability was somewhat weak because the rune was incomplete, having been re-forged from the bones of the Six-Armed Demonic Ape. The core essence of the ability had long since vanished with the Demonic Ape’s death.

Another reason was that the Thunder Emperor had only condensed the basic rune, similar to when Chen Chu first cultivated the War God Body art and only grasped the basics.

Chen Chu’s eyes gleamed as a thought echoed in his mind. Consume attribute points to enhance the Gigantification ability to low-level.

Silently, 200 attribute points disappeared. At the same time, a surge of power exploded within the Thunder Emperor, and the remaining rune sequence chains began to condense at an even faster pace.

Soon, the complete Gigantification ability that had been simulated earlier successfully condensed.
