Chapter 399 156: Cosmic Divine Medicine, Terrifying Outer Domain

Although he had never been there, just from hearing the female True God's account, Chen Yu could imagine how terrifying the Outer Domain battlefield must be.

As the thoughts raced through his mind, Chen Yu looked at the female True God and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, am I able to go to a place like that?"

The female True God shot him a look, took a sip of water, and said, "What? Are you scared?"

"Weren't you quite the hero on the Stellar Battlefield? Lost your nerve already?"

Chen Yu: "..."

'How is this the same damn thing?'

The Outer Domain Battlefield was a place where races from billions of star systems converged.

That alone made it countless times more terrifying than the Stellar Battlefield.

'On the Stellar Battlefield, you could at least get by since there were some rules. But this place... I'm afraid even a True God's life isn't guaranteed.'

Seeing Chen Yu's silence, the female True God suddenly smiled. "Relax. The Outer Domain Battlefield is terrifying, but it's not like you'll die the moment you enter. Besides, the place you'll be going is just the outer battlefield. You can't get into the core region."

"As long as your luck isn't abysmally bad, as if you've been cursed, your strength should be more than enough to hold your own in the outer regions of the battlefield."

"The outer regions..."

Hearing her say that, Chen Yu looked up. "Senior, you mean the Outer Domain Battlefield has different tiers?"

The female True God nodded. "Of course. The outer battlefield is divided into two major zones."

"The first is the Periphery Zone, which is the very edge of the Outer Domain Battlefield. It's divided into three areas, from Area One to Area Three."

"Ninth-level Martial Artists can move about in Area One of the Periphery Zone. Only those at the Ninth Level Peak can enter Areas Two and Three."

"As for the second major zone, that's the Core Zone of the Outer Domain Battlefield."

"In that zone, only True Gods can withstand the Cosmic Law. Anyone below the True God level who enters will find their abilities nullified—even supreme abilities are useless. If they don't retreat within a day, they will be crushed by the Cosmic Law and completely annihilated."

"Of course, a powerful physical body can last longer. Your body... hmm, it should be close to a True God Body, so you wouldn't be crushed. Still, it would be extremely unpleasant for you."

Chen Yu: "..."

Hearing this, Chen Yu's mind was reeling.

'Damn, this place is a bona fide Cosmic Forbidden Area!'

'Why would races from billions of star systems establish a battlefield in such a horrifying place?'

'Is there something special about it?'

Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

At that moment, the female True God seemed to read his mind. "You find it strange, don't you? Why countless races from so many star systems would wage war in such a dangerous place?"

Chen Yu nodded.

It was something that truly puzzled him.

The female True God looked at him and spoke slowly. "Well, the reason is quite simple. The Outer Domain Battlefield is filled with powerful Divine Material. The region is unique; the Divine Material is endless. Furthermore, it's easier to absorb Divine Material there, which increases one's chances of becoming a True God."

"Of course, the death rate is also quite high."

"However, there's a catch. The Divine Material on the Outer Domain Battlefield has a violent nature. Absorbing it runs the risk of sending you into a murderous frenzy. It isn't as gentle as the Divine Material from a Divine Pearl."

"On top of that, the Outer Domain Battlefield is also home to rare Cosmic Divine Medicine."

"If you're lucky enough to come across a top-tier Cosmic Divine Medicine, a single stalk can allow an ordinary person to ascend directly to godhood."

"A single Divine Medicine to reach godhood directly!"

The moment he heard that, Chen Yu's eyes widened as he stared at the female True God in utter disbelief.

'Becoming a god just by consuming a Cosmic Divine Medicine... what did that even imply?!'

He suspected he must have misheard.

'Did such a powerful Divine Medicine truly exist in the cosmos?'

The female True God observed Chen Yu's shocked expression, her gaze seemingly able to pierce his very soul. "There's no need to be surprised," she said. "The universe is vast and contains all sorts of wonders. There are only things you can't imagine, not things that don't exist."

"!!!"

Chen Yu's heart pounded in his chest. In that instant, he understood why the Outer Domain Battlefield drew races from billions of star systems.

That reason alone was enough.

'The allure was absolutely irresistible!'

Even he was tempted.

'Consume a single Cosmic Divine Medicine and ascend directly to godhood... who wouldn't be moved by such a prospect?!'

All are but ants below the level of a True God!

That wasn't just an empty saying.

Even with his current abilities, the most Chen Yu could do was barely contend with a True God.

If he unleashed his Divine Power, his True God Body would become exhausted.

The more times he stacked his power, the greater the consumption of his True God Body's energy.

If he couldn't kill a True God in a single strike, he would likely be the one to die.

Although he had already attained a True God Body, it still wasn't powerful enough.

His physical body was unrivaled among all those beneath the True God level, but that was its limit.

Among actual True Gods, the body he took so much pride in was nothing special.

The gap was too wide!

To be on equal footing with a True God, it took more than just a powerful body and abilities.

And that was just against a Tier One True God. If he faced a Tier Two True God, the pressure from their Void Divine Kingdom alone could shatter his True God Body.

The difference between the tiers was like that between heaven and earth!

Chen Yu didn't even dare to imagine what an entity at the True God Peak would be like.

That was a Tier Nine True God!

Within the Human Race, no one besides the Great Emperor had ever reached such a level.

Even someone as powerful as his master, Nangong Ba, was only a Tier Two True God.

The gap between that and a Tier Nine True God was immeasurable.

A single Great Emperor Level entity at the True God Peak could lead a race to its absolute apex of prosperity.

This was no exaggeration.

For a top-tier existence, one was enough.

Unfortunately, the Human Race's Great Emperor had gone missing. Otherwise, the Human Race would not be in its current predicament.

...

"The chances of Cosmic Divine Medicine appearing in the outer zones of the battlefield are very slim; it's all down to luck. The probability is much higher only in the core of the Outer Domain."

The female True God said slowly.

Chen Yu nodded. He understood that.

'If Cosmic Divine Medicine was that common, the universe would have been crawling with True Gods long ago.'

'A Divine Medicine that could grant instant godhood had to be exceptionally rare, even in the vastness of the cosmos.'

Besides, not all Cosmic Divine Medicines possessed this ability.

Different Divine Medicines had different properties and abilities.

"In the outer regions of the Outer Domain Battlefield, besides the danger from Alien Races, you also have to worry about Starry Sky Ferocious Beasts."

The female True God said.

"Starry Sky Ferocious Beasts... Are those the same as Starry Sky Beasts?" Chen Yu asked, looking at her.

The female True God replied, "Starry Sky Beasts are just one type of Starry Sky Ferocious Beast. You can think of Ferocious Beasts as an enhanced version of the exotic beasts you know."

"It's even possible to encounter True God Level Starry Sky Ferocious Beasts on the Outer Domain Battlefield."

"I ran into one on my very first trip. Luckily, I was a fast runner. Otherwise, I might have been swallowed whole."

The female True God said with a wistful sigh.

Chen Yu: "..."

'Holy hell, this place is more than just dangerous!'

'The slightest misstep could mean death.'

However...

'If I use this place to my advantage, it could be extremely beneficial.'

'I could rapidly increase my Source of Life.'

'This place is crawling with Tier Nine opponents; even the weakest are at that level. If I could take out a group of them, my Source of Life would surely skyrocket.'

'And as my Source of Life increases, my strength will grow rapidly along with it.'
