Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 541: Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor Awakens, Innate Gods and Demons (II)

Chapter 541: Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor Awakens, Innate Gods and Demons (II)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within the crushing gravity, the Blood Sea Domain quivered violently before contracting inward, compressing to a space just a few meters around Chen Chu. The blood-red light became almost tangible, suffused with a sinister aura.

Roar!

Within the domain, a shadowy figure resembling a demon god emerged, spreading its arms wide. With a deafening crash, the demon fused into Chen Chu, triggering an eruption of his power.

Boom!

Under the possession of the demon god, Chen Chu’s battle armor transformed, taking on a blood-red hue. Black and crimson scales sprouted from his skin, adorned with sharp, menacing spikes.

After the transformation of the Battle Demon God Body, Chen Chu resumed his advance toward the golden radiance. Each step he took caused the ground beneath him to collapse, rifts spreading outwards for hundreds of meters.

Fortunately, it seemed the oppressive gravity of this realm had a limit. Despite Chen Chu fully unleashing his power and activating the Battle Demon God Body—even preparing to channel the strength of a dragon—the gravitational pressure no longer escalated infinitely.

At last, with his Battle Demon God form shrinking under the immense weight to just five meters tall, Chen Chu reached the edge of the swirling yellow glow and stepped into it.

The instant Chen Chu entered the yellow light, his entire body felt like it had exploded. Muscles, bones, and even his very cells greedily absorbed the profound golden energy around him, as if they were parched land drinking in a torrential rain.

Under the influence of this extraordinary energy, Chen Chu keenly perceived his potential expanding infinitely. His physique and very essence of life began undergoing a mysterious transformation.

"I’m returning to my innate state!" Shock filled Chen Chu’s eyes as he absorbed the yellow energy. Both his body and soul underwent metamorphosis, evoking a sensation akin to shedding his acquired nature and reclaiming his primordial, innate origin.

At that moment, an overwhelming drowsiness washed over him.

Fighting to stay awake, Chen Chu reached the center of the yellow glow and sat cross-legged. He opened his Sumeru Bracelet and took out his remaining Blood Lotus Seeds, Body-Refining Divine Liquid, and Dragon Blood Crystals.

He swallowed all of the Blood Lotus Seeds and Body-Refining Divine Liquid in one gulp, then clasped two Dragon Blood Crystals in his hands and closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation. A powerful suction force radiated from his body.

Under this gravitational pull, the ten traces of the origin of the world circulating in the golden glow were drawn into Chen Chu’s body, disappearing into his core.

Boom!

The moment Chen Chu began cultivating, his aura surged exponentially. His long-accumulated energy broke through the bottleneck, propelling him into the middle stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

However, Chen Chu’s consciousness had already succumbed to slumber. Wrapped in the yellow energy, he appeared like a primordial demon god incubated during the creation of a world. Centered around him, a terrifying pressure radiated outward, saturating the area with his presence.

As Chen Chu’s body, soul, and soul essence underwent further transformations, his innate Soul Synchronization ability activated. Through the soul passage, part of the golden energy passed into the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor’s colossal form.

Deep beneath the ocean, the black-and-red behemoth stirred in its slumber. The transformative yellow energy coursed through its body, triggering subtle changes. However, given the enormity of its form, the amount of energy it received was insignificant, only slightly enhancing its innate characteristics.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the forbidden zone, nearly twenty thousand kilometers deeper in and more than sixty thousand kilometers diagonally from Chen Chu’s resting place, a group of Blood Cult followers led by Akunus was making slow progress.

Their numbers had dwindled to nine, and even some of the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Realm fanatics among them were visibly weakened.

Unlike Chen Chu, who could sense danger and traverse the forbidden zone with relative speed, Akunus’ group was struggling. The depths of the forbidden zone, a place where even kings could fall, were merciless.

Had it not been for Akunus’ leadership, with his ability to summon blood pythons to scout ahead, the squad would have long perished in one of the many death zones scattered throughout this perilous region.

While Chen Chu retreated into seclusion and the Dragon Emperor remained in deep slumber, the world continued its relentless march forward. The wheels of time did not pause for anyone's presence or demise.

On the Sky Battlefield, the frontline was eerily silent in the absence of a full-scale war between civilizations.

Deep within the battlefield, over ten thousand kilometers from the human base, undulating mountain ranges stretched across the landscape. Mist lingered in the air, stubbornly obscuring visibility.

In this region, a ten-person squad moved stealthily through the dense forest. Clad in battle armor and armed to the teeth, they suppressed their energy fluctuations and dimmed the glow of their armor to avoid detection.

Soon, the squad—each member no weaker than the Seventh Heavenly Realm—arrived at the edge of a mountain ridge over seven thousand meters high. Concealing themselves within the tall grass, they cautiously surveyed the terrain ahead.

Amid the swirling clouds and fog, faint outlines of alien structures, distinct from human architecture, loomed on the distant mountains.

Among the squad, the weakest member was a beginning-stage Seventh Heavenly Realm cultivator, who appeared to be a man in his thirties. His eyes turned entirely silver, allowing his gaze to pierce through dozens of kilometers to clearly observe the alien base.

Excitement lit up his face. "Captain, it’s the Kata Tribe! And this unit seems to have just been stationed here. Many of their defensive structures are incomplete. We’ve hit the jackpot!"

"Indeed, we have." The squad leader, a middle-aged man, murmured, licking his lips as a grin spread across his face. Destroying this alien unit from a subordinate faction of the Purgatory Clan would grant the entire team significant military merit.

Suppressing his excitement, the captain issued his orders in a deep voice. "Zhang Qing, link up with the nearest base terminal. Start triangulating the coordinates and transmit the data back to headquarters."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Qing, a sharp-featured youth, responded. A flash of light radiated from his wrist, and a device over ten meters tall with a long antenna materialized on the ground.

Hum!

As the machine powered on, Zhang Qing’s hands blurred over the keyboard, connecting to a distant terminal in a node over a thousand kilometers away. Streams of data cascaded down the device's screen like a waterfall.

Turning to the rest of the squad, the captain continued. "Split into groups of three and fan out. If you encounter any Kata patrol squads, eliminate them immediately.

"From the launch of the missile barrage to its detonation at the designated target, there will be a time window during which Zhang Qing must continually transmit signals to adjust the missile trajectories.”

The captain’s gaze shifted to a new recruit, Li Daoyi. "Little Li, remember, don’t hold back. Make sure no anomalies alert the alien forces to our operation. The signal guidance cannot be compromised."

Li Daoyi straightened up and replied solemnly. "Understood, Captain. I won’t fail."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a series of rapid movements, the nine remaining members dispersed, ensuring the success of the coordinate corrections.

In the forest, faint arcs of electricity crackled around Li Daoyi, like a radar sweeping a radius of several kilometers. Though outwardly calm and focused, excitement bubbled inside him.

As expected, I, Li Daoyi, am the child of destiny. Barely a few days on the frontline, and I’m already about to score a major accomplishment. Haha!

The squad’s luck held. For the next half-hour, no alien patrols or unexpected obstacles disrupted their operation. Soon, with the information fully transmitted, streaks of light began appearing on the horizon. Sirens blared from the alien base, located dozens of kilometers away.

"Humans! It’s their missiles!"

"Take cover! Quickly!"

"Activate the energy shields—"

Boom!

A figure wreathed in blue light soared from the alien base. Radiating the aura of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, this alien powerhouse rushed to intercept the supersonic missiles, which were already traveling at nearly ten times the speed of sound.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The alien expert managed to detonate several missiles mid-air. Blinding explosions lit up the sky as the fireball shockwaves expanded across dozens of kilometers.

Despite his power, however, even the alien powerhouse couldn’t escape unscathed, coughing up blood as his expression darkened.

More supersonic missiles carrying heavy payloads streaked through the air. As their warheads detonated, clusters of miniature nuclear explosions erupted, their fiery plumes descending like a meteor shower.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Half the mountain range shook violently as the land fractured and erupted. Columns of mushroom clouds rose amid the destruction. A massive energy shield that had just materialized over the alien base shattered instantly under the relentless bombardment.

The scorching shockwaves reduced countless alien soldiers to ashes. Only the stronger individuals or those hidden in underground bunkers survived the devastation.

The combined flashes of over a hundred micro-nuclear warheads illuminated the sky, outshining even the sun.

However, the assault wasn’t over. Just as the alien Ninth Heavenly Realm powerhouse struggled to maintain his composure, a missile over ten meters long pierced through the clouds, descending from above. Its immense speed generated a searing shockwave ahead of it.

From the distant ridge, the captain’s face paled in alarm. "Crystal hydrogen bomb! Hit the ground, activate your true power shields, and shut your eyes!"

Before his words had fully registered, the missile detonated a thousand meters above the alien base. A miniature "star" erupted in the sky, visible across a radius of over a thousand kilometers.

Boom!

The devastating release of energy left everyone temporarily deafened. Lying prone on the ground, they couldn’t hear a thing, only feeling the entire world shake violently.

The power of the hydrogen bomb was immense. At its core, it could instantly generate destructive temperatures in the tens of millions to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. The resulting searing shockwaves would radiate outward, annihilating everything in their path.

However, the extreme temperatures were fleeting, and their lethality diminished the farther they spread from the explosion's center. For transcendent creatures, which possessed protective auras, the damage was insufficient, and even certain fortifications could withstand the blast.

On the other hand, hydrogen bombs fused with transcendent crystal energy unleashed several times the heat of conventional hydrogen bombs. The energy release from elements like hydrogen and uranium was far more thorough, and the resulting destructive power significantly greater.

Weapons of this caliber were formidable enough to make even ordinary kings avoid direct confrontation, as they were almost impossible to withstand.

Yet, demon kings, with their incredible speed surpassing ten times the speed of sound and their ability to bend space for short-distance leaps, were rarely vulnerable to such cumbersome weapons.

For beings below the king level, however, the Human Federation's hydrogen bombs were terrifying instruments of war, used to decimate the armies of the Purgatory Demon Clan and its subordinate species.

Roughly ten minutes later, the shockwaves from the explosion finally subsided.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The team regrouped atop the now-barren ridge, looking out at the distance.

The dense mist that had previously enveloped the area had dissipated. The alien base in the distance was gone, replaced by a massive crater two kilometers in diameter.

The surrounding twenty-plus kilometers of terrain had been obliterated by the devastating heat, leaving nothing but ash. Fires raged around the edges, turning the area into a fiery death zone spanning dozens of kilometers.

As the flames devoured the remnants of the mountains, steam rose from scorched trees and vegetation, forming thick white mist that surged into the sky.

Before long, the entire mountain range was shrouded in dense fog, and light rain began to fall, suppressing the blaze.

The bearded team leader’s face lit up with excitement. "Let’s go. Mission accomplished. If we stay any longer, the Purgatory Clan’s elite will show up."

After years of war, both sides knew each other well. Without delay, Li Daoyi and the others disappeared from the area.

Meanwhile, in another sector of the frontline battlefield, missiles and artillery shells roared across the skies. Fighter jets screamed overhead, and towering black-and-red mechs, over 150 meters tall, stood steadfast on the ground.
