Chapter 422 179: True God Chen Yu

"Chen Yu!!"

Seeing the figure appear, a look of delight immediately blossomed on Feng Miaotian's face.

"He's not dead?!"

'How is that possible!'

The pupils of the other True Gods contracted as they watched Chen Yu appear.

Even though the Innate Emperor's Weapon had shattered the Spear of Divine Punishment, they had personally witnessed Chen Yu perish beneath it.

How could he possibly still be alive?!

The faces of the True Gods instantly turned grim.

At this point, seizing the Innate Emperor's Weapon was probably impossible.

Even if Chen Yu couldn't unleash the full might of the Innate Emperor's Weapon, activating even one percent of its power would be more than a match for them.

Having passed the Divine Tribulation, Chen Yu had already stepped into the realm of a True God. While activating the Innate Emperor's Weapon would be difficult, it wasn't impossible for him now.

The atmosphere instantly grew awkward. The True Gods were embarrassed, and the one who had just been injured looked especially grim.

'This was a fucking double loss.'

Not only did he fail to get the prize, but he ended up getting hurt.

The crucial problem was that Chen Yu hadn't died.

This made it impossible to seize the Innate Emperor's Weapon.

They didn't know where this young man from the Human Race had obtained an Innate Emperor's Weapon.

But since he possessed it, he must have earned its acknowledgment.

For a moment, the True Gods froze.

Only Feng Miaotian was joyous.

She had practically watched Chen Yu grow to his current level.

'This young man definitely has the potential to become a Great Emperor.'

'Compared to the value of an Innate Emperor's Weapon, a Venerable with the potential to become a Great Emperor is worth far more.'

*Cough, cough...*

Chen Yu coughed, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The Divine Light in his eyes was dim.

He had used every trick up his sleeve against the final strike of the Divine Tribulation, but it wasn't enough. Thankfully, at the critical moment, the Celestial Demon Blade activated on its own, pulling him into its own space. Although he still suffered a devastating blow, at least his life was saved.

Chen Yu himself had never expected to nearly die during his Divine Tribulation.

If not for that final Spear of Divine Punishment, he was confident he could have completely blocked the Divine Tribulation with his own strength.

SWOOSH—!!!

At that moment, the Celestial Demon Blade hummed and instantly disappeared into Chen Yu's body.

Watching the Innate Emperor's Weapon enter his body, the other True Gods finally snapped back to their senses.

Feng Miaotian took a step forward, coming to stand before Chen Yu and looking at him with her bright eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly and shook his head. "I'm not dying anytime soon. Don't worry."

Hearing this, a smile also appeared on Feng Miaotian's face.

'They know each other…'

Seeing this, the True Gods' eyes darted about, and they instantly gave up their last shred of hope.

"Netherworld Heaven of the Nether Star System!"

"Nether Quake!"

"Netherworld Fire!"

"Congratulations to our fellow Daoist from the Human Race on ascending to godhood!"

Three voices rang out in succession as the three True Gods from the Nether Star System stepped forward to offer their congratulations, their faces wreathed in brilliant smiles.

"Yu Canghai of the Vast Sea Star System, congratulations to our fellow Daoist from the Human Race on ascending to godhood!"

Another True God Venerable clasped his hands and offered his congratulations.

"Beiming Heaven of the Beiming Star System, congratulations to our fellow Daoist from the Human Race on ascending to godhood!"

"Xuan Wushuang of the Celestial Extreme Star System, congratulations to our fellow Daoist from the Human Race on ascending to godhood!"

The True Gods offered their congratulations one by one, their smiles warm and friendly.

'Since they couldn't get the Innate Emperor's Weapon, they might as well let it go. They had no desire to offend such a monster.'

The ability to trigger a variable like the Spear of Divine Punishment during a Celestial Tribulation was proof enough of how terrifying he was.

'In the future, it probably wouldn't even be a problem for him to vie for the title of Great Emperor.'

"Thank you, fellow Daoists," Chen Yu said, his face pale and weak.

Upon stepping into the Divine Level and exploring the Great Dao of Cosmic Law, forms of address also changed.

"Chen Yu, you just passed your tribulation and are still very weak. Come with me and recover first."

Feng Miaotian sent the message via voice transmission. Chen Yu nodded, then turned to the Venerables of the Alien Races and said, "Fellow Daoists, I have just passed my tribulation and need to regulate my energy. Please excuse me."

The Alien Race True Gods nodded. Immediately after, Chen Yu and Feng Miaotian's figures transformed into a streak of light and vanished without a trace.

Watching Chen Yu and Feng Miaotian disappear, the Alien Race True Gods exchanged glances. Without another word, they each retreated into the depths of Chaos and vanished from sight.

Once these Venerables had left, the countless watching figures also returned to their senses.

The Divine Tribulation was over, but the scene was now deeply seared into the minds of every member of the Alien Races present.

Withstanding the Spear of Divine Punishment and the strange Divine Weapon that appeared at the end—this was a scene no one would ever forget.

...

On the Outer Domain battlefield, within the vast, starry cosmos, two figures descended upon a star in a distant star river.

After scanning the surroundings, Feng Miaotian looked at Chen Yu. "Regulate your energy here. I'll act as your Guardian."

Chen Yu nodded and immediately began to regulate his energy and recover.

The final blow had caused him too much damage. Although the Celestial Demon Blade had blocked ninety percent of the force, the remaining ten percent had still severely injured him.

The power of the Divine Tribulation contained within the Spear of Divine Punishment, in particular, had caused almost-destructive damage.

However, this was also a great opportunity.

As long as he could absorb and digest the power of the Divine Tribulation, he would be able to reach an even higher level.

His Laws would grow stronger!

A powerful Divine Light enveloped Chen Yu's body. His Celestial Destiny Skill operated at full power, healing his injuries and absorbing the power of the Divine Tribulation from his divine body.

Within his Dantian, a brilliant Divine Origin bloomed with light, and surging Divine Power circulated through his body.

Nearby, Feng Miaotian watched Chen Yu with a complicated expression.

'Thinking back to their first meeting, his current level of growth seems even more terrifying than that of the Human Race's Great Emperors from the Celestial River Star System.'

'He became a True God in such a short time. In him, she seemed to see the hope for the Human Race's resurgence.'

'And it was a great hope!'

The addition of a single True God Venerable would be a massive boost to the entire race's power.

The Human Race's position in the Celestial River Star System would become even more stable.

'Where did this guy get an Innate Emperor's Weapon?'

Watching the recovering Chen Yu, Feng Miaotian was extremely curious.

Chen Yu definitely didn't have an Innate Emperor's Weapon before. Before becoming a god, no matter how heaven-defying his methods, he couldn't have hidden it from the senses of a True God.

Thus, it could only mean one thing: he must have obtained this Innate Emperor's Weapon after they had last parted ways.

She couldn't help but envy such a fortuitous encounter.

'An Innate Emperor's Weapon!'

'Even among True Gods, it's an ultimate weapon!'

The stronger the True God, the greater the power of the Emperor's Weapon!

'Given Chen Yu's growth rate, this Innate Emperor's Weapon will probably unleash immense power in the future.'

...

「Three days passed in a flash.」

In the Outer Domain Star River, on a dead star, Chen Yu sat cross-legged, perfectly still.

Divine Light illuminated the area around him. Within the light, two Law Chains appeared—one gold, one green.

'The Life Law!'

'He mastered it so quickly!'

Feng Miaotian was stunned as she watched the Law Chains manifest around Chen Yu.

He had just stabilized himself after the tribulation and had already cultivated a second Law.

She subconsciously compared him to herself. Back when she passed her tribulation, it had taken her several years to cultivate her second Law.

But Chen Yu had done it in just three days.

'What a monster…'

At this moment, even Feng Miaotian couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Just then, Chen Yu's eyes snapped open. A flash of Divine Light shot out, and the light and Laws around him vanished.

His aura had completely stabilized, now as vast and deep as an abyss!

Using the power of the Divine Tribulation, he had not only fully recovered from his injuries but had also mastered the second Law, the Life Law, in one fell swoop.

With two Laws, he could unleash an even more terrifying Power of Laws, and his strength had increased dramatically.
