Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 307: Breaking the Genetic Shackles, Double Pupil of The Void, Enhanced Abilities (II)

In the afternoon, Yan Ruoyi quietly read in the hotel suite, enjoying the rare tranquility.

The sunlight outside was bright and warm. On the balcony, Chen Chu sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes slightly closed as he manipulated the energy within his body, preparing to inscribe the spatial rune onto his right arm.

The runes condensed by his main body and the colossal beast differed slightly. As a more powerful avatar, the colossal beast would bear most of the pressure of opening the passage, which was why it had inscribed runes on its feathered horns.

Whoosh!

As Chen Chu’s powerful will spread out, gusts of wind swirled around him, his sleeves and hair fluttering. A tangible golden-red blood aura began to condense around his right arm.

With the fusion of his spiritual energy and true power, the blood aura condensed, causing the fabric of his right sleeve to silently disintegrate. Starting from his wrist, mysterious golden-red patterns emerged, slowly spreading up his arm like vines.

As time passed, more golden-red patterns appeared, gradually covering his entire forearm. The profound aura grew increasingly intense.

Creak!

Xu Xiaoqi pushed open the door. She was about to speak when the girl on the sofa immediately gestured for her to be quiet.

As Xu Xiaoqi approached, Yan Ruoyi whispered, "Brother Chu is cultivating. Don’t disturb him."

Xu Xiaoqi then noticed Chen Chu sitting cross-legged outside, surrounded by swirling winds, his black hair dancing wildly and his arm glowing with golden-red light.

She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy. After finishing her discussion with Yan Ruoyi, she tiptoed out of the room.

By five in the afternoon, Chen Chu’s right arm was fully covered with mysterious golden-red patterns. As they formed a complete whole, an invisible wave of spatial fluctuations erupted.

Hum!

With the golden-red runes flashing, the space around Chen Chu became unstable, with circles of transparent ripples spreading and distorting the air.

Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, looking down at the glowing spatial runes on his right arm, a smile spreading across his face.

After all this effort... Well, after a few days of hard work, he had finally succeeded in connecting the passage between his main body and avatar. Now, it was time for action.

At that moment, Yan Ruoyi’s head peeked out from behind, curiously eyeing the runes on Chen Chu’s arm that were gradually fading away.

"Brother Chu, haven’t you been creating a secret scripture recently? These look like spatial runes."

Chen Chu replied calmly, "I’ve also been studying spatial powers recently. Today was just a test."

He didn’t elaborate further. Yan Ruoyi didn’t believe Chen Chu’s explanation, but she didn’t press him on it.

After eight in the evening, once it was confirmed that Yan Ruoyi wouldn’t be going out, Chen Chu returned to his room. He closed the door, drew the curtains, then took a deep breath and activated the runes with his immense golden true dragon power.

Simultaneously, in the ice palace deep under the sea, the waiting Thunder Beast let out a low roar. Golden flames erupted from the three pairs of red feathered horns on either side of its head, illuminating the silver runes entwined around them.

Hum!

Hum!

As the runes activated and coordinates aligned, golden runes appeared on Chen Chu’s arm, and silver lights flashed around them, causing the surrounding space to distort and ripple.

The golden flames on the Thunder Beast’s head burned fiercely, forming a ring of fire like a crown. In the center, silver light radiated in rings. Gradually, a twenty-centimeter-wide silver vortex began to appear, spinning continuously.

Crack, crack!

A tremendous force descended from above, pressing down on the Thunder Beast's enormous head and causing its feathered horns to creak under the strain. The oppressive spatial passage's aura caused the surrounding water to churn violently, forming waves that crashed against the walls with a thunderous roar.

The Thunder Beast's ferocious face showed a grave expression. Even though it had been mentally prepared, opening a stable spatial passage spanning thousands of kilometers was far more challenging than expected. The invisible force it had to endure was much stronger than anticipated.

After all, spatial power was something that could only be comprehended at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, after touching the laws of the universe. Forcing it open now was indeed taxing.

This was despite the fact that the spatial rune Chen Chu had comprehended was derived from innate runes, with a fundamental structure pointing directly to the essence of space.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The Life Crystals piled up in the corner rolled around, as the Thunder Beast lifted them with water currents. They formed a string of crystals that flew toward the passage in the center of the flaming crown.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

These crystals swiftly passed through the vortex, appearing in the room on the other side where Chen Chu caught them one by one, quickly placing them on the ground. Soon, dozens of Life Crystals had been sent over, and the spatial passage vanished.

Huff, huff!

In the room, Chen Chu sat weakly on the edge of the bed, panting heavily, his face alight with excitement as he looked at the pile of wet Life Crystals on the floor.

These were just the beginning. With a stable passage between the colossal beast and his main body, numerous resources discovered in the ocean could be transferred to his main body, enabling resource sharing.

This even included when the colossal beast would venture into the mythical world in the future. Of course, by then, Chen Chu's main body would also need to be there. It would be impossible to open a passage across worlds unless both his main body and avatar reached the king-level.

After catching his breath, Chen Chu began to convert the Life Crystals.

"You have converted high-purity Life Energy Crystals, gaining 297 attribute points.

"You have converted high-purity Life Energy Crystals, gaining 751 attribute points..."

One by one, the level 3, level 4, a large number of level 6, and even some level 7 Life Crystals turned to dust, and the attribute points on the transparent page skyrocketed at an astonishing rate.

One thousand, two thousand, five thousand...

When all sixty-plus Life Crystals had been converted, the attribute points on his page had surged to 11,723, making Chen Chu feel somewhat surreal.

There were too many attribute points and they had come too quickly. After all, before this, he had been working tirelessly for just a few hundred or a thousand points.

With the attribute points now in hand, the next question was how to use them.

The Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body and Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd arts had reached their maximum enhancement. Without creating the seventh stage's secret scripture, they couldn’t be further advanced. Therefore, Chen Chu could only enhance his abilities.

His gaze first fell on the top-level Soul Splitting ability, but he noticed that even though there was a "+" sign, there was no prompt indicating that it could be enhanced.

"Even with over 10,000 attribute points, I still can't meet the enhancement requirements for a top-level ability!" Chen Chu frowned slightly, realizing that the requirements for that were much higher than he had anticipated.

Since the top-level ability couldn't be enhanced, Chen Chu shifted his focus to his high-level abilities.

"Do you want to consume 10,000 attribute points to enhance Agility?"

"Enhancing a high-level ability once requires 10,000 points?" After considering the prompt, Chen Chu ultimately decided against it. Instead, he focused on the Thunder Beast's Flame Blaze and Thunderbolt abilities.

Boom!

With an explosion of water, the Thunder Beast shot out of the palace like a black shadow, flying several kilometers under the watchful eyes of the frolicking little orcas.

Meanwhile, a thought echoed in Chen Chu's mind.

Consume attribute points to enhance the Thunderbolt ability.

"You have consumed 1,000 attribute points to enhance Thunderbolt to a high-level ability, forming a new ability...

"You have consumed 2,000 attribute points to enhance Flame Blaze to a high-level ability, forming a new ability, Golden Flames..."

Boom, boom, boom!

Endless enhancement energy flowed through the soul passage, spanning the vast distance and entering the Thunder Beast's body. In an instant, the seabed exploded, with thunderbolts and golden flames erupting simultaneously.

Even as the Thunderbolt and Flame Blaze abilities transitioned to high-level ones, Chen Chu continued without stopping.

"You have consumed attribute points to enhance the Regeneration ability for the third time, breaking through to a middle-level ability. You have consumed 2,000 attribute points to enhance Regeneration to a high-level ability, forming a new ability...

"You have consumed attribute points to enhance the Toxin ability for the third time. High-level ability forming...

"You have consumed attribute points to enhance the Golden Dragon Double Pupil for the second time, forming the high-level ability Double Pupil of the Void..."

As the Thunder Beast's abilities were enhanced to high-level, it seemed to trigger a condition. A force deep within its body was activated, releasing an ancient and desolate aura, one that came from the ancient blood it had absorbed earlier.

Under the influence of this aura, the Thunder Beast's genetic shackles were broken, and some dormant ancient genes in the chain were activated, unleashing terrifying power.

Boom!

With the power of the ancient genes, the Thunder Beast began a second growth phase, even affecting the power forming the high-level abilities...
