Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 563: Refining Heaven and Earth, Soul Law Divine Artifact
Chapter 563: Refining Heaven and Earth, Soul Law Divine Artifact
Amid the mountain range a hundred kilometers from the Azure-White Colossal Dragon’s mountain peak was a majestic complex of palaces made of silvery blue ice. The towering structures were over ten thousand meters tall, several kilometers wide, and supported by immense ice pillars shrouded in mist.
Resembling massive mountains, the palaces’ architectural marvel exuded grandeur and sanctity.
Beneath the Ice Crystal Shrine, several Kuru priestesses—creatures with the upper bodies of beautiful maidens and serpentine lower bodies—moved about their activities.
When the Silver Colossal Dragon appeared at the forefront, they bowed respectfully and chattered in their alien language.
"Greetings, Divine Child Saixitia."
The Silver Colossal Dragon responded with a powerful roar.
As they flew overhead, the Heavenly Dragon glanced curiously at the priestesses. After all, such captivating alien creatures were a rare sight.
These priestesses were around two meters tall. By human standards, each was exceptionally beautiful. They had fair skin, strikingly defined features, and translucent ice-crystal armor that kept their figures in view.
Yet, despite their allure, the Heavenly Dragon only glanced at them. Its aesthetic sense, honed by its own standards, did not extend to humanoid beings.
After the colossal beasts passed through the towering ice pillars and vanished into the misty depths of the shrine, one of the priestesses, her face radiant with curiosity, remarked, "Have you noticed? In just a few day-cycles, Divine Child Saixitia has grown significantly!"
"That must be because it has entered its growth phase. Rapid development is to be expected."
"The Divine Child’s transformation aside, did you notice the black-and-red divine beast following behind it?"
"Yes! It seemed incredibly powerful!"
"I noticed as well. It merely flew overhead, yet the pressure it exuded made my tail tremble. I nearly collapsed on the ground!"
As the alien priestesses whispered among themselves, the colossal beasts journeyed to the shrine's innermost sanctum.
Over there! the Silver Colossal Dragon growled.
It wove through the ice pillars and stopped on a massive, five-thousand-meter-tall platform with crystalline steps.
At the center stood a translucent gateway that was a thousand meters tall.
The great Saixitia has arrived! the Silver Colossal Dragon roared with delight. It spread its wings and charged through the gate.
The moment it touched the gateway, ripples spread across its surface as though acknowledging the entrant.
Behind it, the Single-Horned Kun thrashed and squeaked in excitement. Thunder Fiery, I sense so many treasures! So many!
The Heavenly Dragon growled, Of course you do. This is the treasure vault of Saixitia's mother. Let’s go.
The massive black-and-red beast went into the translucent gate. Even it couldn’t help but feel a pang of curiosity about what treasures a peak titan creature could have amassed over centuries.
As soon as it entered, the Heavenly Dragon was overwhelmed by an intense surge of energy. The air was thick with the power of heaven and earth.
The area within was a dazzling, pristine white space. Countless natural treasures hovered above it, bathing in radiant light. They all emitted potent waves of energy that were god-level at the very least.
The treasures appeared as massive crystalline red rocks, ethereal blue blossoms, shimmering blue sands, or vibrant green bamboo that was ten meters tall.
The treasures encased in white radiance continuously released divine energy, dispersing into countless white specks that converged into an energy-laden river and vanished into the void above.
The Heavenly Dragon's eyes shone.
The Azure-White Colossal Dragon was using these treasures to refine heaven and earth itself, accelerating its comprehension of principles and even assimilating an entire fragment of the world into its body.
No wonder Saixitia had mentioned that its mother hadn’t moved in a long time.
The Silver Colossal Dragon turned around. Stop gawking, Ao Tian! Mother has already depleted those. The real treasures are further in!
The Little Purple Dragon perched atop the Heavenly Dragon’s head squeaked impatiently, urging it forward. It was eager to devour the treasures.
Alright, Coming.
The Heavenly Dragon followed the other colossal beasts. Soon, they traversed the initial sea of ordinary divine items and reached the center of the vault.
Even more treasures enveloped in luminous white light floated midair here. They were all top-level, radiating denser and purer energy than the ones before.
This vast collection of over a thousand top-level divine items was arranged across ten layers. The top five layers were shrouded in a mysterious force, their divine energy continuously dissolving into white motes that ascended into the void.
Boom!
A sudden tremor shook the space. The Silver Colossal Dragon had crashed into an invisible barrier, sending it tumbling backward.
Ouch!
Dazed, the dragon rubbed its head as it glared in front of it. Several dozen glowing spheres hovered before it, emanating red, blue, and green divine lights that were intertwined with distinct law-based energy.
These were law-level resources, each equivalent to an innate rune.
Even the usually composed Heavenly Dragon couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Saixitia's mother was astonishingly wealthy.
The dozens of glowing orbs trembled slightly. Three were then drawn out by an invisible force.
Two floated toward Saixitia, while one came to rest before the Heavenly Dragon. Three more orbs then separated themselves from the top-level treasures, drifting toward the Single-Horned Kun, Zhulong, and the Little Purple Dragon.
The two orbs in front of Saixitia contained extraordinary treasures. One was called the Starlight Profound Elixir, an otherworldly sphere with a diameter of several meters. It contained crystal-clear water and countless blue, glimmering starlights.
Similar in function to Profound Yellow Qi, the treasure could temper a cultivator's physique with its law-infused power, endowing them with a near-mythical body.
However, unlike the transformative effects of Profound Yellow Qi, which reshaped the body and soul into an innate state, the Starlight Profound Elixir's energy was intense and suitable only for those at the late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Realm.
It focused exclusively on enhancing the physical body. As a middle-stage level 9 colossal dragon with two top-level abilities, Saixitia’s physical strength was already formidable.
The other treasure was a dark, glowing orb that resembled a divine pill. It was about a meter in diameter.
The Heavenly Dragon didn’t recognize it or its effects, but judging from the immense power it radiated, it seemed capable of propelling Saixitia into quasi-mythical level, if not mythical.
This was the privilege of having connections. Once one's cultivation base was sufficient, treasures like these could accelerate their growth process, bypassing years of accumulation.
Even Chen Chu enjoyed similar benefits. The Federation had provided him with resources sufficient to propel him swiftly from Eighth to late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm in one continuous burst.
Lost in thought, the Heavenly Dragon turned its attention to its own treasure: a cluster of pure white flames. The flame burned intensely but radiated no heat. As the treasure drew closer, the dragon felt its soul becoming much more invigorated.
This was a law-level flame specifically designed to enhance the soul.
The Azure-White Colossal Dragon had chosen this treasure deliberately, recognizing the Heavenly Dragon’s rapid evolution and growth. Since it was only a year old, its soul was likely underdeveloped relative to its physical form. After all, even the feedback between body and soul required time to synchronize.
This treasure would help bridge that gap.
Mother only gave the great Saixitia two treasures—how stingy! the Silver Colossal Dragon grumbled, glancing wistfully at the deeper recesses of the treasure trove, which was filled with law-level resources.
Still, it swiftly stored the two treasures and turned to the thousands of top-level treasures surrounding it. Its gaze locked onto a glowing cluster that resembled a golden jade orb. The dragon’s eyes sparkled as it let out an eager roar.
Mother, this smells amazing! The great Saixitia wants to eat it!
The golden orb’s protective light shimmered momentarily, as though hesitating, before dispersing to reveal the treasure within.
With a triumphant roar, the Silver Colossal Dragon seized the golden jade treasure and tucked it into its reverse scale. It then flew over to another treasure—a fruit radiating potent life energy.
Mother, Ao Tian would love this one. If it eats this, it’ll grow bigger, I promise!
Atop a distant mountain, the lips of the Azure-White Colossal Dragon twitched as it tried to settle in for a nap. After a brief moment of hesitation, it withdrew the protective principle force surrounding the divine fruit.
The Silver Colossal Dragon cheered, clutching the life-infused fruit and flying to the Heavenly Dragon. Its large eyes blinked mischievously as it pushed the fruit forward.

Ao Tian, eat it!
Without hesitation, the Heavenly Dragon opened its maw, unleashing a powerful suction force that engulfed the divine fruit in an instant.
Boom!
A surge of dense life energy exploded within the Heavenly Dragon.
Compared to the golden lotus that it had previously consumed, this fruit—saturated with pure life energy—proved far more effective.
The Heavenly Dragon began to swell with renewed vitality.
Crack! Crack!
Muscles expanded, bones stretched, and scales thickened. In moments, the massive black-and-red beast grew from 520 meters to 541 meters long.
It didn’t just grow in size either; its overall presence became more ferocious and imposing.
Observing from its mountain perch, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon couldn’t help but show a hint of astonishment in its eyes. Such rapid growth and unparalleled energy absorption left even it momentarily shaken.
"That little one... does it have an evolutionary ability?"
The bodies of mythical-level colossal beasts were refined by laws, making them incredibly powerful. However, their growth was significantly more challenging—accumulating energy was not enough in itself.
At the mythical level, every bit of a colossal beast’s growth required not only a massive consumption of energy but also the evolution and purification of their bloodline, as influenced by the laws.
As a result, growth and power enhancement at this stage were prolonged processes. Many colossal beasts opted to claim a territory and grow gradually, consuming the natural treasures within to temper themselves.
But this little one...
Mother, this thing smells so good! The great Saixitia wants to eat it.
Mother, this treasure contains intense energy. Ao Tian would definitely grow a lot bigger after eating it.
Mother, this treasure would make Ao Tian so happy.
This thing’s energy aligns so well with Big Horn's compatibility...
Whenever the Silver Colossal Dragon took a liking to a treasure, it would declare either that it wanted to eat the treasure or that it could make the Heavenly Dragon stronger.
Each time, the divine light enveloping the treasures would dissipate, allowing Saixitia to gleefully collect them into its reverse scale space or toss them to the Heavenly Dragon.
Following behind the Silver Colossal Dragon, the Heavenly Dragon did not hesitate to partake. At a time like this, there was no room for modesty—missing out would only be detrimental to itself.
With each top-level treasure consumed, the Heavenly Dragon grew even more rapidly. The cracking of its bones and tearing of its muscles echoed as it soon broke past 600 meters in length, then 630 meters.
As the two colossal beasts swept through the vault, the supply of treasures hovering in the middle layer dwindled.
After the Heavenly Dragon grew to 710 meters, an immense force suddenly hurled all five colossal beasts out of the treasure vault.
Boom!
With a spatial tremor, the silver gates on the icy platform slowly disappeared.
The Silver Colossal Dragon stood on the icy platform with regret written all over its face. It had only managed to collect half of the treasures.
Mother! The great Saixitia hasn’t finished loading up yet!
That’s enough, Saixitia. Any more than this and you’ll empty your mother's treasure vault.
The Heavenly Dragon now looked even more formidable, but it swayed slightly. It had consumed so many valuable treasures that its energy hadn’t fully settled, leaving it somewhat dazed.
Nearby, the Single-Horned Kun staggered as well. Its size had also grown by over 20 meters. Moreover, it emitted the overwhelming energy that it had yet to digest.
This expedition had yielded great rewards not just for Saixitia but also for its companions, including Zhulong.
The energy that Zhulong emanated had grown increasingly intense, and its aura was now nearing the mythical level. Its oppressive presence had become even stronger as well.
The quasi-mythical colossal beast had already reached the limits of its strength. What it needed were treasures to accelerate the refinement of its laws.
Meanwhile, the Little Purple Dragon had obtained a pure golden liquid that could speed up its growth and development.
However, the little one was currently sprawled on the Heavenly Dragon’s head, a goofy smile on its face. It wasn’t just drunk on milk—it was intoxicated by the energy. Having eaten too much, it now suffered from indigestion.
Saixitia, hand over those life crystals. You’ll need to digest the treasures soon, and I’m about to break through myself.
The Silver Colossal Dragon and the others looked at the Heavenly Dragon with envy—it could simply decide to break through.
Just then, Zhulong roared lazily, Saixitia's... mother... is... formidable.
Saixitia's eyes filled with confusion. What's wrong with this guy?
Zhulong had no trouble chomping down on treasures, yet it was just reacting to the oppressive aura of Saixitia’s mother now?
After pondering for a moment, the Heavenly Dragon explained, Its consciousness likely operates on different time frames, only becoming clear in moments of danger or benefit.
The Silver Colossal Dragon shuddered at the thought. Softly, it growled, the power of time is terrifying. Luckily, the great Saixitia doesn’t have that kind of ability.
Or so it claimed. The Heavenly Dragon looked at it strangely.
The Silver Colossal Dragon's mother wielded the destructive power of ice crystal storms, while its father controlled the laws of time. Their offspring couldn’t have just awakened only one type of power.
As the Heavenly Dragon mused, the Silver Colossal Dragon began retrieving the dozens of high-level life crystals that it had acquired. Each colossal beast then sought a separate chamber in the shrine to begin its slumber and digest the treasures.
Saixitia, in particular, would need a long period of rest to fully absorb its two law-level treasures.
