Chapter 419 - 176: Destruction Divine Tribulation

RUMBLE—!!!

Within the vast sea of clouds, rolling thunder was deafening. Destructive lightning raged, with bolts darting to and fro.

The aura of heavenly might continued to grow stronger.

Deep within the void, the massive tribulation cloud was still expanding frantically. In an instant, it grew to a million miles wide.

An aura of destruction filled the air. The unleashed lightning nearly pushed back the surrounding Chaos.

As he watched the lightning deep within the tribulation cloud, Chen Yu’s own aura began to climb, growing rapidly.

The Power of Laws swirled around his body, and the Qi within him surged frantically.

Meanwhile, outside the island, three figures had already fled into the Chaos. They stared at the tribulation cloud above the island, their expressions incredibly grave.

"It’s him!!!"

One of the three figures, seeing Chen Yu wreathed in Divine Light deep within the tribulation cloud, could not help but cry out in alarm.

"Hm?"

Hearing his cry, the other two simultaneously turned to look at the skinny youth.

"You know this person?"

The stout youth asked.

The skinny youth nodded. "Yes. I ran into him in the Chaos before."

"I never thought he would be undergoing his tribulation to become a True God so soon."

"Who is he?" the other, taller youth asked.

The skinny youth shook his head. "That I don’t know. But he doesn’t have the aura of the Central Mark, so he shouldn’t be from the Central Empire."

"Perhaps from the Daluo Star System."

Hearing this, the stout youth turned to the tall one. "Pang, you know him?"

The tall youth rolled his eyes. "I wouldn’t be asking if I knew him."

"The Outer Domain battlefield is vast, with thousands of Alien Races from hundreds of millions of Star Systems. Guessing his identity won’t be easy."

"But I feel like this figure is somewhat familiar... I just can’t quite place him."

Hearing the tall youth’s words, the other two exchanged a glance before looking back toward the island’s core.

"Let’s recover for now," the skinny youth said. "We can observe. A Divine Tribulation is a rare event; watching might help us in the future."

The other two nodded, each immediately taking out a medicinal pill and swallowing it. They began to absorb its energy while keeping their eyes fixed on the figure deep within the tribulation cloud.

—

The tribulation cloud continued to expand until it reached its zenith, covering nearly the entire massive island.

At that moment, Chen Yu felt the terrifying heavenly might. He focused his full attention, raising his own aura to its absolute peak.

Golden Law Divine Patterns materialized on his skin.

The Law of Strength!

This was the first Law he had manifested after consuming the Cosmic Divine Medicine.

Comprehending the Law of Strength had increased his power a thousandfold.

The Law of Strength, combined with his True God Body, allowed him to unleash a terrifying power he could not have imagined before.

BOOM!!!

The Divine Tribulation continued to brew. A purple light illuminated the Chaos, and a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a mountain descended from the depths of the cloud.

Watching the lightning descend, Chen Yu erupted with the Power of Laws, and golden Law Divine Patterns covered his entire body.

The Divine Tribulation is the final step on the path to godhood, but it is also the greatest of all calamities.

However, a Divine Tribulation is also the fastest way to strengthen one’s grasp of the Laws.

By using the might of the Divine Tribulation, one could rapidly strengthen their own Power of Laws.

Of course, that was only if one could withstand it.

The greatest danger in ascending to godhood came from the Divine Tribulation itself.

Even one who has truly become a True God can perish when facing a Divine Tribulation.

An ocean of purple lightning swallowed his body, and brilliant electrical light engulfed his form.

The destructive power of the Divine Tribulation contained within the lightning continuously ravaged his body.

Torn apart, then reformed!

His True God Body, which had always been tough and invincible, was as fragile as tofu before the power of the Divine Tribulation.

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

The power of the Divine Tribulation coursed through his flesh, an agony akin to death by a thousand cuts assaulting his consciousness.

The golden Law Divine Patterns flickered, constantly resisting the power of the Divine Tribulation while also slowly beginning to merge with it.

Chen Yu activated his Celestial Destiny Skill. Within his Dantian, his Qi began to transform under the power of the Divine Tribulation.

It was turning into a type of energy far more terrifying than Qi!

Divine Power!

This was the clear distinction between a True God and those beneath godhood.

When Qi undergoes the ultimate sublimation, it can be converted into Divine Power!

However, this ultimate sublimation could only be achieved by using the power of the Divine Tribulation.

The lightning swallowed everything, transforming the landscape into a sea of thunder. Mountain after mountain dissolved like snow in spring, vanishing completely.

...

"This destructive aura... I’m afraid I wouldn’t even last three breaths against it."

The three of them were terrified as they watched the Divine Tribulation Celestial Thunder.

Even from such a great distance, they could still feel the looming presence of death.

A single wisp of such destructive power would be enough to annihilate them.

Forget about entering the heart of the Divine Tribulation; they probably couldn’t even survive getting close, even at their peak strength.

The three continued to recover, their eyes glued to the Divine Tribulation.

At that same moment, deep within the Chaos, pairs of eyes were secretly watching.

The aura of the Divine Tribulation swept across the boundless Chaos, even spreading out into the vast, starry cosmos beyond.

Within the Chaos, an Ancient Ship emerged, its aura pushing aside the surrounding chaotic energies.

Three black-robed figures stood upon the deck of the Ancient Ship.

As the Ancient Ship progressed, the three black-robed figures seemed to sense something, and their gazes turned toward the depths of the Chaos.

"A Divine Tribulation. Is someone ascending to become a True God?"

one of the black-robed figures spoke.

His gaze bored into the Chaos, seemingly penetrating an infinite distance.

"Mm? Yes, it’s the unmistakable aura of a Divine Tribulation," another black-robed figure nodded.

"We didn’t find the Cosmic Divine Medicine, hehe, but we ran into someone ascending to godhood instead. Interesting."

"Should we go take a look?"

one of the black-robed figures asked, looking at the other two.

"Of course. How could we miss a spectacle like this?"

"Alright, let’s go take a look."

The moment the words were spoken, the massive Ancient Ship abruptly vanished from the Chaos.

In the blink of an eye, the Ancient Ship reappeared in another part of the Chaos.

Three pairs of eyes gazed into the distance at the vast tribulation cloud, and their pupils contracted.

"Holy hell, what kind of fucking moron is this, taking it on with just his physical body?"

the black-robed figure holding a Dog Head Golden Staff exclaimed in shock.

The faces of the other two black-robed figures also showed unconcealed shock.

"With no added defenses... can his body actually take that?" the one holding the Skull Magic Staff asked.

"A newborn calf fears no tiger. This guy’s got some serious guts!"

"He’s got guts, sure, but his physical body is incredibly strong. Look how fast he’s recovering,"

the last black-robed figure said.

"Hm?"

"This member of the Human Race... why does he look so familiar?" The black-robed figure with the Skull Magic Staff stared at the silhouette in the sea of lightning, his gaze hardening.

Hearing this, the other two black-robed figures also took a closer look.

At almost the exact same moment, recognition dawned on all three of them.

"It’s that member of the Human Race from the Celestial River System!"

The three exchanged a glance, the memory in their minds becoming crystal clear.

’Ah, so it’s him,’ the three of them thought in unison. ’No wonder he dares to face it with his body alone.’

"The risk is still immense, though. Tsk, tsk. If this guy successfully becomes a god, his power is going to be terrifying."

"Whether he can endure is another matter entirely. A strong body only increases the chances of success; there’s also the matter of his will."

"We’ll find out if we keep watching."
