Chapter 424 181: God-Slaying Weapon, Accident

In the vast emptiness of space, a spaceship shot forward at faster-than-light speed.

Inside the ship, all eyes were on Chen Yu.

A few months ago, they had all set out together.

But now, everything had changed.

Chen Yu had broken through his bottleneck and passed his tribulation to become a god. This step was a fundamental transformation.

Their own cultivation had all reached the Ninth Level Peak, but the gulf between the Ninth Level Peak and a True God was a heavenly chasm.

Even the most gifted individuals needed a fortunate encounter to make that leap.

Relying on bitter cultivation alone would take an immense amount of time.

Gazing at Chen Yu, everyone's faces filled with envy.

With this one step, he had become an existence they could only look up to.

Chen Yu's strength had been astounding before, but now that he had stepped into the realm of a True God, no one knew just how much stronger he had become.

The difference from this single step was bound to be earth-shattering.

"Brother Yu, I heard something unexpected happened during your Divine Tribulation. Is that true?"

Zhuge Qingtian couldn't resist asking as he looked at Chen Yu.

The others all pricked up their ears to listen.

Chen Yu didn't say much, just nodded.

"Yes, there were some complications, but it wasn't a big deal."

"...Not a big deal."

Hearing Chen Yu's casual words, Feng Miaotian felt her heart skip a beat.

'Good heavens,' she thought, 'a disaster like the Spear of Divine Punishment appeared, and he calls that "not a big deal"?'

'This guy is unbelievably nonchalant!'

"Brother Yu, is there a recording of it? Can we watch?" Zhuge Qingtian asked curiously.

Chen Yu was left speechless.

'A recording? A recording of me getting struck by lightning?'

Looking at Zhuge Qingtian, Chen Yu shook his head.

"If you want to know what happened during the Divine Tribulation, I have a recording," Feng Miaotian spoke up.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they turned to Feng Miaotian in unison.

"Master, please show us," Nangong Ba couldn't help but chime in.

Feng Miaotian glanced at Chen Yu and sent him a private transmission, "The choice is yours. If you don't want them to see, I won't play it."

"It's fine, Fellow Daoist Feng. Go ahead. Countless members of the Alien Race saw it, so it's hardly a secret," Chen Yu replied.

He didn't really mind. After all, it wasn't like he was the only one who witnessed his tribulation; the number of Alien Race members who had seen it was impossible to count.

At his words, Feng Miaotian waved her hand. In the next instant, a screen of light materialized in midair inside the ship's cabin.

All eyes fell upon the light screen, which displayed the scene of Chen Yu undergoing his tribulation in the land of Chaos.

Lightning streaked across the screen. Even without being there in person, just a glance at the sky-blotting tribulation clouds on the light screen was enough to feel an intense, oppressive pressure.

At that moment, even the two True Gods present fixed their gazes on the screen.

"So this is a Divine Tribulation... My heavens, if I had to face this now, I'd be toast in an instant."

one of them exclaimed, their eye twitching uncontrollably.

The others didn't reply, their eyes glued to the screen.

Chen Yu didn't watch. Instead, he closed his eyes and sensed the Divine Power within his body.

Feng Miaotian had already told him a few things about how to use Divine Power.

Both Divine Power and Qi were types of Cosmic Energy, but Divine Power was far purer—even more terrifying than the essential energy released by an exploding star.

When fueled by Divine Power, the same ability could unleash unprecedented levels of terrifying might.

Chen Yu had experienced this profoundly with his God's Speed technique.

By channeling Divine Power into God's Speed, he could reach a staggering one hundred times the speed of light!

Such speed surpassed the cosmic speed limit and could even defy the Time Law.

In terms of offense, his Divine Dragon Power and Sacred Power were also greatly enhanced.

If he stacked the ultimate limit of his Sacred Power on top of his current strength, he could probably kill a Tier One True God with a single punch.

Of course, that was only in theory.

Killing a True God Venerable was not that easy.

One could only be truly obliterated if their Divine Origin was completely shattered.

Even someone as powerful as Feng Miaotian, a Tier Two True God, would find it incredibly difficult to kill a Tier One True God.

As long as the Divine Origin remains, a True God cannot die!

Destroying the Divine Origin within a Divine Kingdom, which he had heard of before, was merely destroying a part of the whole.

Shattering a complete Divine Origin was not so simple.

Any existence who managed to cultivate to the True God Level was no pushover.

Even if their body was destroyed, as long as their Divine Origin remained, they could reconstruct their physical form and return to their peak.

It would just take a certain amount of time.

A True God's Power of Laws provided a great deal of resistance.

Unless the power gap was immense, it was nearly impossible to completely eliminate a True God.

And that was just for a Tier One True God.

A Tier Two True God could manifest a Void Divine Kingdom. As long as the Divine Kingdom was not destroyed, the True God was unbeatable.

The difficulty of killing one increased exponentially.

'Feng Miaotian did say that if an Innate Emperor's Weapon is wielded properly, slaying a True God isn't so difficult.'

Chen Yu sensed his Divine Power, his attention turning to the Celestial Demon Blade within his body.

Emperor's Weapons were the supreme level of armament in the universe. Not even a True God Emperor could destroy one.

Emperor's Weapons also had another name.

Godslaying Weapons!

Weapons capable of slaying True Gods.

The supreme power of the cosmic origin contained within an Emperor's Weapon could inflict devastating damage on other True Gods.

Once struck, the damage was nearly irreversible.

Unless one had a special Cosmic Divine Medicine, the only way to heal was to consume vast amounts of one's own Divine Origin. This not only drained one's fundamental source but also required a great deal of time to replenish.

'I wonder when I'll be able to completely control the Celestial Demon Blade...'

Chen Yu opened his eyes, sighing internally.

If he could control the Celestial Demon Blade, the power he could unleash would absolutely be on the Godslaying Level.

A single slash could even tear through an entire Star System!

"The Spear of Divine Punishment... My god, *this* is what Brother Yu called 'not a big deal'?!"

Just then, the scene of the Spear of Divine Punishment descending played on the screen. Instantly, everyone's gaze snapped to Chen Yu.

They weren't novices. The Spear of Divine Punishment was a tribulation rumored to only descend upon existences at the Great Emperor Level of the True God Peak.

Yet, it had appeared during Chen Yu's tribulation to become a god.

And crucially, he had blocked it.

The images on the screen continued to play, and it was only when it ended that the crowd snapped back to reality.

"Brother Yu, what was that weapon at the end? A True God's weapon?" Dongfang Yao couldn't help asking.

The others also looked at him expectantly.

"Just an Emperor's Weapon," Chen Yu replied nonchalantly, before closing his eyes to rest.

Everyone: "???"

An Emperor's Weapon?! *Just* an Emperor's Weapon?!

Staring at Chen Yu, who had his eyes closed, the group remained stunned for a long moment before they recovered.

'Damn it all,' they thought, 'to hear him talk, you'd think it was some common, dime-a-dozen weapon.'

'This was an Emperor's Weapon!'

'A Supreme Level weapon, a weapon capable of slaying a True God!'

Looking at Chen Yu, the crowd fell silent for a long moment.

The light screen faded, but the shock it had delivered was branded deeply into their hearts.

...

「Two months passed in the blink of an eye.」

A spaceship appeared in the boundless, starry expanse of the Celestial River Star System.

The ship headed toward the Starry Sky Ancient City. As the continent of the Stellar Battlefield came into view, Chen Yu felt a sense of nostalgia.

"Hm? Oh no, something's happened at the Starry Sky Ancient City!" Feng Miaotian suddenly exclaimed.

The moment the words left her mouth, all eyes turned to Feng Miaotian.

'Something happened at the Starry Sky Ancient City?!'

They were baffled. This was the main stronghold of the Human Race; what could possibly have happened?
