Chapter 315: War God Body 2.0, Imperial Essence, Merging with Myself (II)

Among the three heads in the spiritual projection, only the central face was clear and resembled Chen Chu, its expression cold. The other two faces were quite blurred, but for now, they were merely decorative and of no consequence.

This was the new form of the War God Body that Chen Chu had re-evaluated and developed, featuring additional battle armor and four banners on its back.

The banners were inspired by the external structures of a mechs\' Battle Bodies, serving as storage for the power of the Battle Body in the future. One banner contained the power of Thunderbolt, another carried the strength of Golden Flames, a third one harbored the ability of Regeneration, and the fourth one bore the power of Venom.

The six arms were similar to the previous design, with the strongest pair representing Strength, while the remaining pairs wielded the four banners during combat.

For Agility and Defense, the form merged spatial constructs with the power of the Divine Might Dragon Elephant as a disguise.

With three top-level secret scriptures to reference, the mastered spatial fundamentals, and the Thunder Fiery Emperor Beast\'s seven major abilities, Chen Chu\'s vision expanded greatly.

The True Martial Phantom of the Seventh Heavenly Realm was centered around the core abilities of the colossal beast or other runic talents, reflecting the cultivator\'s path and condensing into an external avatar. The stronger the condensed True Martial Phantom, the more massive it became, and the more transcendent energy it could control.

Typically, a newly advanced cultivator’s True Martial Phantom in the Seventh Heavenly Realm was about ten meters. This allowed the cultivator to perform with five times the power of heaven and earth.

This was merely the basic enhancement of true power, however. There were also the runic or innate abilities that came with it.

If the condensed phantom\'s core possessed the fire element, the cultivator would gain additional fire damage during battle, the strength of which depended on the completeness of the runes and the phantom\'s power.

The process of cultivation in the Seventh Heavenly Realm involved transforming the virtual into the real, refining the True Martial Phantom into reality. By the Eighth Heavenly Realm, the cultivator would assimilate vast amounts of the power of heaven and earth into their body.

With that completed, the cultivator would complete the physical reforge and merge with heaven and earth, akin to a mutated beast breaking through to level 8.

At that point, the cultivator would be extraordinarily powerful, with movements comparable to a level 8 colossal beast’s strength and innate abilities, combined with human martial arts and formidable true power.

Such a cultivator at the Eighth Heavenly Realm could even surpass a colossal beast of the same level in strength, with a martial avatar exhibiting earth-shattering combat power.

Of course, this phantom was still in its basic, immature form. Chen Chu needed to gradually perfect the overall structure and resolve any conflicts in the innate abilities. After all, this was a human form, not a beast’s.

However, because it was inspired by gene martial arts, Chen Chu could already begin early cultivation of a portion of the War God Body once the foundational framework was constructed, such as the third transformation of physique.

Thinking about this, Chen Chu slowly withdrew his consciousness. He glanced at Yan Ruoyi and the others on stage before reaching up to slightly tap his ear, connecting to the Celestial Think Tank, and then selecting the resource options.

"Ten Wish Crystals, one portion of Demon Crystal Engraving Powder, four portions of Abyssal Tree Bark, and one portion of True Illusion Essence, totaling 2,985 contribution points, with your discount bringing it to 1,791 points.

"Current account balance: 5 contribution points, insufficient for exchange."

"Choose to use now and pay later." Chen Chu selected the alternate option.

As a level 6 genius with special privileges, Chen Chu had access to a one-time, 2,000-point contribution advance.

He only needed to repay the contribution within half a month of using these resources; overdue repayment would affect his credibility. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chen Chu had never considered using this option.

It hadn’t been necessary before, but the situation was different now.

"The materials have been allocated at the Qingshan City Federation Logistics Base. Please choose a delivery time and address."

"8 PM, Baiyun Hotel."

Chen Chu remained calm as he looked at the -1,786 figure now on his account.

Among these materials, the Demon Crystal Engraving Powder and True Illusion Essence were intended to neutralize the Thunder Beast\'s essence for engraving runic ink on the entire battle armor. The Wish Crystals and Abyssal Tree Bark were for the third enhancement of the battle armor.

In Chen Chu\'s design for the seventh stage\'s War God Body, it was divided into three main parts: internal, external, and runic true body.

The external battle armor served as the mech carrier, enhancing the True Martial Phantom’s capacity to contain more transcendent energy and allowing him to transform into a giant even in the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

The internal part involved absorbing the Thunder Beast\'s essence and utilizing secret arts for the third transformation, enhancing the core abilities\' affinity, and becoming the "pilot" of the True Martial Phantom.

The runic true body was, of course, the three-headed, six-armed runic phantom, representing the mech in flesh and blood.

While Chen Chu was exchanging materials, the fierce black-red colossal beast returned to the Dragon Palace. Nearby, the Dragon Turtle and other colossal beasts quietly slept, as the Silver Colossal Dragon and the Nine-headed Serpent also gradually strengthened their auras.

The female orca swam slowly around these colossal beasts, nodding respectfully and emitting low sounds when encountering the Thunder Beast.

Returning to the Thunder Fiery Dragon King’s palace, the Thunder Beast placed several purple energy crystals aside and then opened its mouth, expelling intense golden flames to start melting the dragon horns.

Under the intense heat of nearly one hundred thousand degrees Celsius, the three-meter-long dragon horns gradually melted and reduced in size, eventually becoming two-meter-long platinum spiral dragon horns.

The flames from the Thunder Beast\'s mouth gradually extinguished. After casting aside the two now roughly tempered dragon horns, the beast lay down, extending its right paw and pressing a fingertip against its chest.

Crack, crack!

The sharp claws pressed down, tearing open a fissure in the Thunder Beast\'s chest that exposed the gold-red flesh and golden sternum beneath. The gold-red flesh emitted an incredibly high temperature, with golden blood circulating through it, but not flowing out.

Its mental focus suppressed the regeneration of the flesh around the wound, and the Thunder Beast let out a low growl as a drop of pure golden blood was slowly squeezed out from its spine.

In the human market, colossal beast essence was mainly extracted from the beast’s spinal marrow, blood, and flesh, containing the essence of a colossal beast’s life force. The blood from the heart, while powerful, was still just energy and didn’t have the extraordinary properties that changed one’s bloodline.

The Thunder Beast was similarly refining its own pure essence, condensing it from its life force.

Soon, a drop of fist-sized golden blood floated out of the wound, emitting a fierce draconic power as if it were a ferocious living beast. The golden blood floated and sank in the water, emitting such a substantial and powerful aura that it formed a half-meter radius of dry vacuum around it.

However, this was still not enough. The Thunder Beast let out another low growl and condensed a second drop of essence. It was nearly bleeding itself out, all to condense a powerful True Martial Phantom and forge the solid foundation of a king.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

With hot breath pouring from its mouth and nose, the wound on its chest healed instantly. The Thunder Beast’s aura had weakened considerably, and for the first time, fatigue showed in its eyes.

Condensing this essence had severely depleted its life force. Normally, even a complete colossal beast\'s carcass could only yield a little over ten portions of essence.

In the case of condensing just two drops, even the Thunder Beast felt somewhat drained and would need several days to recover. This was with the benefit of devouring mutated creatures to replenish its life force; otherwise, the recovery time would be longer and could even affect its potential.

In the evening, after dinner, Chen Chu waited in the hotel lobby. At eight o’clock, a car from the officials arrived, and three workers in uniforms walked into the hotel.

"Mr. Chu, these are the transcendent materials you ordered. Please confirm."

"No problem, thank you." After confirming the materials were correct, Chen Chu smiled with satisfaction.

Once he stored the materials in his Sumeru space, Chen Chu returned to his room, closed the door and windows, took a deep breath, and activated the spatial rune on his arm using the true dragon power.

Meanwhile, the Thunder Beast, waiting beneath the ocean, had flames burning from the winged horns on its head, and the silver spatial runes on them lit up one by one.

As the golden flame crown appeared, a silver spatial vortex emerged, and an explosive force erupted from the rift.

Roar!

With a low growl, an invisible force lifted the purple energy crystals, dragon horns, and golden essence into the passage.
