Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 513: Bearing the Heavens, Entering the Mythical World (II)
Chapter 513: Bearing the Heavens, Entering the Mythical World (II)
For a typical cultivator, the body was merely a foundation; true power lay in the transcendent strength they commanded, in sync with the heavens and earth through their martial arts or even laws.
Even with his beast-like physical strength, Chen Chu would be considered a mere level 8 beast without the enhancement of the War God Body. However, when his fierce physical power merged with the true martial arts that made him unparalleled at his level, Chen Chu’s combat strength soared to exaggerated heights.
So, a weapon shouldn’t just be heavy; it needed to harmonize with true martial arts to reach maximum potency. Otherwise, wouldn't simply lugging a thousand-meter-tall, billion-ton mountain make one unbeatable?
Yet, before mythical-level colossal beasts, such a mountain would be nothing more than a toy, easily shattered by a swipe of their massive form or a single breath.
Thus, with the help of the Celestial Think Tank System's database, Chen Chu redesigned the legendary-level Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd, drawing from tens of thousands of weapon rune matrix diagrams in the database.
Infused with the attributes of weight, durability, amplified true power, and sharpness, the weapon could also incorporate domain power, even reaching the world-strength for unlimited heaviness.

As someone who had reached the Eighth Heavenly Realm, once he wielded the Eight Desolations Halberd with its hellish domain and four illusory worlds, Chen Chu’s power would only become more terrifying.
With this anticipation, Chen Chu took a deep breath, then placed the halberd alongside the Celestial Meteorite Ore and the other three god-level materials.
He placed his hand on the halberd, and his thoughts echoed in his mind. Consume attribute points to enhance the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd.
Instantly, the 29,304 points on the attribute panel dropped to 27,304, as 2,000 points converted into enhancement energy, enveloping the halberd and materials in a white glow.
Whoosh!
Under the enhancement energy, the Phantom Divine Crystal was the first to shatter, followed by the Celestial Meteorite Ore and Dark Steel Divine Crystal. The white flames burned fiercely as the three materials gradually merged with the halberd.
Simultaneously, the rune resembling an eye surfaced at Chen Chu's brow, and a blood-red hellish domain unfurled within the room.
Boom!
Behind Chen Chu, four alternating light wheels appeared—yellow earth, golden flames, black gale, and blue-black thunderbolts.
As the light wheels of the four worlds slowly rotated, transcendent energy surged in a frenzy, endlessly gathering toward him.
Boom!
With the power of his domain, the force of the four worlds, and the true dragon power weaving into the rune matrix, the white flames on the halberd blazed even stronger.
For a cultivator, crafting transcendent weapons was a common practice after breaking through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm.
Yet, instead of laboriously training in secret arts to forge weapons, Chen Chu streamlined the process by enhancing them directly with attribute points.
Even though it would take a typical Ninth Heavenly Realm master several weeks to refine a legendary-level weapon, with no guarantee of a perfect material fusion, Chen Chu completed the enhancement in just half an hour.
As the white flames gradually faded, a 3.9-meter-long halberd appeared in Chen Chu’s hand. Golden red dragon scales coiled around its pitch-black shaft, and its imposing blade exuded an aura of raw ferocity.
Instantly, a heavy, oppressive aura spread out, causing the surrounding air to feel almost solid and distorted.
At that moment, several lines of translucent text floated before Chen Chu’s eyes.
[Weapon]
Eight Desolations Heavenly Halberd
- Legendary transcendent weapon. Heavy and durable, with a base weight of 5,100 tons, and doubles the halberd light’s amplification.
- Active function: Exorcist Illumination
- Active function: Wishful Extension. When in War God Body form, the halberd can consume true power to enlarge, with base weight doubling as its size increases.
- Infinite Pressure: Under the boost of domain and world power, the halberd forms a gravitational field that increases in weight indefinitely until the weapon’s structural limits are reached.
This halberd upgrade essentially marked an evolution. Not only had it reached the legendary grade, but it also gained the Infinite Pressure ability. Moreover, its enlarging function, previously limited to doubling, now had enhanced potency.
Gripping the five-thousand-ton halberd single-handedly, Chen Chu’s right arm muscles flexed slightly.
Boom!
With a casual swing, an explosive shockwave echoed through the cultivation room, sending a black air blade more than ten meters long tearing forward that rent everything in its path.
Boom!
The fortified, rune-reinforced wall a hundred meters away trembled, and a rift over fifty meters long appeared on it.
This swing contained neither true power nor the power of heaven and earth; it was purely the compressed force of raw strength creating a blade of high-pressure air.
"Not bad. This weight feels just right." Chen Chu nodded in satisfaction. He then stowed away the Eight Desolations Heavenly Halberd and retrieved his somewhat damaged Dragon Blood Battle Armor.
During his previous battle with an alien creature amid ancient ruins, the armor had suffered severe damage and remained in a state of disrepair until now. As he had been busy, he hadn’t had time to maintain it, so he planned to repair it during this enhancement process.
For cultivators, possessing a powerful and durable set of armor meant an additional layer of protection, less true power consumption, and various auxiliary functions.
In the early stages of cultivation, below the Fourth Heavenly Realm, humans were at a disadvantage against mutated beasts. After reaching the Fourth Heavenly Realm and acquiring transcendent weapons and armor, the balance was evened.
At higher levels, when True Martial Phantoms and Battle Bodies were cultivated and combined with weaponry and armor advantages, humans even surpassed colossal beasts in the same realm.
However, once reaching the mythical level, the massive bodies of these beasts again took the upper hand. Energy reserves were like the ocean, enabling them to move mountains and annihilate everything in their path with a mere twitch.
Moreover, after their bodies were tempered by the laws, they would be extremely durable. Their tough scales could even come out unscathed in an ordinary nuclear weapon explosion, just like the Thousand-Meter Giant Python that had appeared in the beginning of the New Era.
Yet humans were not without their advantages. After reaching king level, their souls evolved into divine souls, enabling them to manifest a law-based body and wield laws with immense power.
Unlike beasts, who relied on instinctive evolution, human cultivators excelled in law mastery and comprehension. Kings who could merge multiple laws were even more powerful than ordinary mythical colossal beasts.
Generally, the path that colossal beasts followed was to undergo numerous evolutions, focusing on absolute strength. On the other hand, humans followed the path of mastering laws, and fusing them with principles to become a higher life form.
After integrating the Molten Blood Ore, Golden Phoenix Feather, and another Phantom Divine Crystal, the armor’s enhancement was complete.
Floating in mid-air, the armor resembled dense black and red scales, adorned with golden patterns and engulfed in red flames. It radiated a majestic, imposing aura.
[Armor]
Dragon Scale Phoenix Feather Battle Armor
- A legendary transcendent armor with Durability, Phoenix Flame Purification, Wishful Extension, and Division-Fusion functions, doubling the true power amplification of its protective field.
- Active function: Blood Flame Phoenix Wings. Expends true power to form flaming wings for high-speed flight.
- Active function: Phoenix Ring Blast. Upon reaching critical damage levels, triggers a massive explosion resembling a phoenix’s wrath, delivering indiscriminate attacks to surrounding enemies.
Compared to the halberd, Chen Chu’s requirements for the armor were simpler, limited to durability and the standard amplification of true power for a legendary battle armor. However, to align with the War God Body form, he had further strengthened its enlarging function.
With his weapon and armor reforged, Chen Chu resumed his seclusion to familiarize himself with the enhancements until the following day, when he received a summons from Xie Chen.
