Chapter 429 - 186: Scheming, A Rain of Blood

"So many Alien Race corpses... Is it over already?!"

Aboard the spaceship, everyone stared at the corpses inside the Ancient City, their faces etched with shock.

This was faster than they could have possibly imagined!

A coalition of over ten Alien Races was attacking the city, and when they heard the news, the city was already on the verge of falling. But this scene before them now—the countless corpses of the Alien Race—was completely different from what they had expected.

Looking at the chasm outside the city, as deep as an Abyss, it was hard to imagine what kind of earth-shattering battle had just taken place.

An attack of this magnitude was utterly Destruction Level.

...

"Get up. Absorb this and recuperate. Then, clear out the Alien Race corpses in the city. The bodies of our Human Race will be given a proper burial!"

Chen Yu’s voice reached the ears of the Human Race survivors. Hearing his command, they responded in unison.

"Huh? They’re back!" At that moment, Ao Wushuang looked up at the sky and noticed the enormous spaceship.

Chen Yu glanced up as well. Soon, the spaceship descended into the city, and Feng Miaotian and the others appeared.

Seeing everyone with their eyes closed, absorbing the rain of life, Feng Miaotian and her group didn’t disturb them. They exchanged a glance with Chen Yu and Ao Wushuang before the few True Gods vanished on the spot.

Leaving only Nangong Ba and his retinue behind.

"Wait for them to recover, then help clean up." Feng Miaotian’s voice reached the ears of Nangong Ba and his people. They all nodded.

——

「In the depths of the void, on the Stellar Battlefield.」

Three blood-soaked figures materialized. They were none other than the Alien Race True Gods who had just fled the Starry Sky Ancient City.

"Damn it! This is a huge loss. Xu Tian’s Divine Origin has fallen into Chen Yu’s hands. I’m afraid there’s no getting it back now," one of the Alien Race True Gods sighed.

"If we don’t eliminate him, he’ll become an absolute menace once he’s fully developed!"

"He has an Innate Emperor’s Weapon, and with his power, how are we supposed to kill him? The three of us combined couldn’t do it. Even with one or two more helpers, it would be impossible. And don’t forget, the Human Race has other True Gods."

"Not necessarily. There might still be a way," the Tier Two True God said.

"Oh?"

"There’s a way?" At his words, the other True Gods all turned to look at him.

"Don’t forget the Life Court," the Tier Two True God said, a faint smile on his face.

"The Life Court of the Celestial Race? What does that have to do with us? Surely you don’t think they’ll help us?" Tianji asked with a frown.

"This time, Chen Yu indiscriminately slaughtered countless beings below the rank of True God. He broke the rules of the Ten Thousand Races. The Life Court will certainly intervene. When they take action, it won’t be too late for us to make our move."

"This... will that really work?" the other Alien Race True God asked.

"After all, we were the ones who initiated the attack, striking them in their own stronghold."

Hearing this, the Tier Two True God smiled. "By all rights, you’re correct. But don’t forget how the Life Court operates. They don’t care about the fine details. The fact is that Chen Yu slaughtered so many members of the Alien Race; the Life Court is bound to act."

"That’s true... Still, if the Life Court gets involved, our plans will have to change."

Tianji sighed.

"Let’s wait and see. For now, we need to go back and heal. The wounds inflicted by that guy’s Innate Emperor’s Weapon are severe and shouldn’t be underestimated."

"Mm." The other two Alien Race True Gods nodded. Then, the three figures vanished into the void once more.

——

"You killed Xu Tian?"

「Inside a villa in the Starry Sky Ancient City.」 Several pairs of eyes stared at Chen Yu, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Chen Yu nodded lightly. "Yes, I killed him. Well, not completely. I’ve suppressed his Divine Origin, but his consciousness hasn’t been entirely obliterated yet. It’ll take some time."

!!!

At his words, the hearts of Feng Miaotian and the others skipped a beat.

’How long has it been? It’s been a very long time since they’d witnessed the fall of a True God.’

Despite the brutal slaughter among the Ten Thousand Races on the Stellar Battlefield, the actual number of Alien Race True Gods had not diminished.

To slay a True God.

Even for them, this was a shocking event.

The fall of a Cosmic Venerable was no laughing matter.

"Good riddance! That’s how it’s done. A beautiful kill," Feng Miaotian said with a radiant smile. "Once you extinguish Xu Tian’s consciousness, you can absorb his Divine Origin. It might even help you master a new Law."

"But this incident is likely to cause some trouble," Zhuang Bo sighed.

Chen Yu frowned, looking at Zhuang Bo.

"Since you took action this time, the Life Court certainly won’t let you off. For breaking the rules of the Ten Thousand Races, you’ll probably be put on trial by them," Zhuang Bo explained.

"Then let them try. We’ll see if they have what it takes to judge me," Chen Yu said coolly.

"Chen Yu, the Life Court was founded by the Celestial Race. They are incredibly powerful," Ao Wushuang reminded him.

"Then let them come. I will bear all the sins myself." Chen Yu stood up abruptly. With that, he turned and headed upstairs.

"I’m a bit tired. I’m going to get some rest."

...

Watching Chen Yu head upstairs, the others exchanged speechless glances.

"Look at you all. Chen Yu is still here, isn’t he? He hasn’t been judged yet, so what’s there to worry about? If worse comes to worst, we’ll just ask the Martial Venerable to intervene."

"I’ll contact him. You all go take care of things outside. I’m tired too. I’m going to get some sleep."

With that, Feng Miaotian also stood up and headed upstairs.

Ao Wushuang and the other two exchanged a look. Without another word, they also left the villa.

——

「In his room.」

With a single thought, Chen Yu instantly entered his Divine Domain.

The Divine Domain, also known as the True God Domain, was a place of Chaos.

As a cultivator’s cultivation progressed, their Laws would strengthen, their Divine Domain would expand, and eventually, it could transform into a Void Divine Kingdom.

A Void Divine Kingdom was practically a world unto itself.

Within the Chaos Divine Domain, a brilliant Divine Origin was being held down by the Power of Laws.

Xu Tian’s Divine Origin.

It was the very core of a True God’s existence.

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

"Chen Yu, if you release me, I’ll do as you say! I can be your inside man in my race."

The moment Chen Yu’s figure appeared, Xu Tian’s voice immediately echoed from within the Divine Origin.

"No need. I have no use for a dog of the Alien Race," Chen Yu said coolly.

At these words, the Divine Origin instantly flared with agitated power.

"Chen Yu, you’d better release me! Otherwise, the Celestial Eye Race and the Human Race will be locked in a war to the death!" Xu Tian roared in fury.

"Aren’t we already?"

Chen Yu retorted coolly.

...

"You... Hmph! Chen Yu, you won’t meet a good end either! The Life Court will judge you! They’ll lock you away in the Void Prison!"

Hearing this, Chen Yu remained utterly unfazed. He reached out and placed a hand on the Divine Origin, and a terrifying Power of Laws seeped into it.

"Is that so? A pity you won’t be around to see it."

His calm voice echoed as a pained roar erupted from within the Divine Origin.

Chen Yu’s expression was placid as he used the Power of Laws to grind away at Xu Tian’s consciousness.

...

「Two days passed in a flash.」

Thanks to the efforts of the surviving members of the Human Race, the Starry Sky Ancient City had recovered significantly.

The Ancient City’s defensive formation was reactivated.

It had regained some of its power. While it couldn’t block the might of a True God, it was impenetrable to anyone beneath that level.

Within the Chaos Divine Domain, under the continuous infusion of the Power of Laws, the last shred of Xu Tian’s consciousness was finally obliterated.

At that very moment, thunder cracked across the sky above the Ancient City, and a rain of blood began to fall.

"The heavens weep blood; a True God has fallen!"

Witnessing this, everyone in the city simultaneously turned their gazes toward a certain villa within the city walls.

A rain of blood from the heavens... this signified the true and utter fall of a True God.

Completely obliterated!
