Chapter 434 - 191: Treading the Array

’This guy...’

Seeing Chen Yu agree so readily, Feng Miaotian and the others were completely caught off guard.

’An Array of Celestial Gods of this magnitude... can it really be broken?’

’Without an Emperor’s Weapon, what kind of power would it take to accomplish that?’

Although Chen Yu had proven himself valiant before, he had, after all, only just stepped into the True God realm.

He still had to rely on an Innate Emperor’s Weapon to slay Alien Race True Gods.

But now, the challenge was to shatter the Array of Celestial Gods with his own power. Even Feng Miaotian, despite her great expectations for Chen Yu’s future, found it hard to believe he could pull it off.

Seeing Chen Yu accept, the four members of the Celestial Race broke into wide smiles.

Meanwhile, the expressions of Feng Miaotian and her companions darkened.

"Chen Yu, the Array of Celestial Gods is no joke. Are you sure about this?"

Feng Miaotian couldn’t help but send a private transmission.

Chen Yu, however, looked unconcerned. "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Feng. It’s not a big deal."

"..."

Seeing Chen Yu’s nonchalant expression, Feng Miaotian’s own expression flickered uncertainly.

There was nothing to be done. Since Chen Yu had agreed, she could only go along with it.

The outcome might be unfavorable, but one thing was certain: Chen Yu could not be taken away.

’If this doesn’t work, I’ll just have to attack and force their hand with a Divine Tribulation...’ Feng Miaotian’s eyes glinted as she secretly made her decision.

...

"Hahahaha! Excellent! Since Fellow Daoist Chen has chosen to challenge the Array of Celestial Gods, then follow us into the cosmos."

The leader of the Celestial Race laughed heartily. Immediately, the four of them shot off into the vast cosmos.

Chen Yu followed right behind them, stepping into the cosmos as well.

"Let’s follow!"

Feng Miaotian gave the order and shot forward, with Zhuang Bo and the others close behind.

—

"The Array of Celestial Gods... How could Chen Yu accept such a challenge?"

Inside the Ancient City, Nangong Ba and his companions looked pale.

They didn’t know much about the Celestial Race’s ultimate grand array, but they knew some things.

It was a super Divine Array that only True Gods could deploy. For Chen Yu to challenge it was far too risky.

"There was no other way. This was the best option," Dongfang Yao sighed, her gaze turning toward the heavens. "Brother Yu had to accept the challenge. What else could he do? Meekly submit to their judgment?"

"Should we go watch?" Jiang Can asked, his gaze fixed on the stars, burning with anticipation.

"We’d better not. An array of this level isn’t something we can afford to get close to. Let’s not cause more trouble," Nangong Ba said.

Hearing this, the others fell silent, reluctantly accepting the truth in his words.

With their level of power, they truly weren’t qualified to even spectate such a high-level array.

...

In the vast cosmos, upon a lifeless star, Chen Yu and the four members of the Celestial Race appeared.

Meanwhile, Feng Miaotian and her companions landed on another star far in the distance.

After landing on the star, Chen Yu glanced toward Feng Miaotian and her group. With a mere thought, the Celestial Demon Blade materialized in his hand.

The moment they saw Chen Yu produce the Celestial Demon Blade, the eyes of the four Celestial Race members lit up.

A burning desire surfaced in the depths of their eyes.

’An Innate Emperor’s Weapon!’

To a True God, such a weapon was irresistibly alluring.

Even Tier Three True Gods were no exception.

Among Emperor’s Weapons, the Innate were supreme.

Compared to Acquired Emperor’s Weapons, Innate Emperor’s Weapons were generally considered superior.

This was a fact known to all of the Ten Thousand Races.

Gazing at the Celestial Demon Blade in Chen Yu’s hand, their eyes burned even hotter.

WHOOSH—!

After displaying the Celestial Demon Blade, Chen Yu willed it, and the blade instantly transformed into a streak of Divine Light, flying into Feng Miaotian’s hands.

Seeing this, the expressions of the four Celestial Race members changed.

Even Zhuang Bo and the others were in disbelief.

’Incredible. To just hand over an Innate Emperor’s Weapon to Feng Miaotian... what an immense show of trust.’

"Fellow Daoist Feng, I’ll entrust this weapon to your care for now." Chen Yu’s voice resounded in Feng Miaotian’s ears.

Feng Miaotian nodded, gripping the Celestial Demon Blade tightly.

At that moment, she made up her mind. If Chen Yu failed to break the array, she would take action.

With the Celestial Demon Blade, an Innate Emperor’s Weapon, in her possession, she wouldn’t fear even a Tier Three True God.

After handing the Innate Emperor’s Weapon to Feng Miaotian, Chen Yu turned his gaze back to the four members of the Celestial Race.

"Fellow Daoists, let’s begin!"

The four members of the Celestial Race exchanged a look. Instantly, they began forming hand seals, and a ray of Divine Light shot from each of them into the cosmos.

The four streams of Divine Light surged into the cosmos, converging to form a colossal Divine Array.

In that instant, billions of stars trembled, pulled into vibration by the Array of Celestial Gods.

VMMMM!!!

As the Divine Array materialized, it violently erupted with four incomparably brilliant pillars of light.

In a flash, the four pillars of light engulfed the star, completely encasing it.

In the distance, Feng Miaotian and her companions watched, every one of them on edge.

This was the first time any of them had witnessed the Array of Celestial Gods with their own eyes.

The array linked the auras of the four Celestial Race members, amplifying their combined power severalfold.

It sealed the surrounding space-time, completely enveloping the entire star.

Breaking it from the outside would be incredibly difficult, but from within the array, the difficulty was more than doubled.

The difference was not trivial.

Even Feng Miaotian had no confidence she could overcome such a disparity.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu watched the pillars of light rise. The surroundings still looked like the cosmos, but he could feel that this entire region of space had been completely sealed off.

A vast Divine Power washed over him, and even he could feel the immense pressure.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Array of Celestial Gods is formed. All you must do is break it. We will not attack you, but if you cannot break through, you will have only yourself to blame. You have three days. If you fail, we must ask that you come with us."

The voice boomed like Celestial Thunder.

Hearing the voice from the depths of the cosmos, Chen Yu gave a slight nod.

Then, a dragon’s roar echoed from within him.

ROAR—!!!

The dragon’s cry shook the cosmos. In an instant, billions of stars trembled as a divine dragon soared into the sky, charging toward the depths of space.

BOOM—!!!

A violent explosion erupted. Under the divine dragon’s assault, thousands of stars were instantly pulverized.

But this cataclysmic scene failed to cause even a single ripple in the Array of Celestial Gods.

Outside, the four members of the Celestial Race stood at the four cardinal points, watching the scene unfold in silence.

Feng Miaotian and her companions could also see this scene clearly.

The Divine Array showed no signs of fluctuation whatsoever.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why not try a full-power strike? An attack like that won’t be enough to break our race’s grand array."

One of the Celestial Race members spoke, his voice laced with mockery.

Inside the Array of Celestial Gods, Chen Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he listened.

Golden light flared as his Divine Dragon Power erupted once more.

One after another, divine dragons soared into the air. In an instant, eighteen of them appeared at once, rapidly converging on a single point in space.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Fueled by his Divine Power, the eighteen divine dragons unleashed their abilities to the absolute limit.

This attack was powerful enough to shatter a world.

However, after the violent, destructive explosion faded, the entire Array of Celestial Gods remained completely unscathed.

His full-powered attack had been utterly ineffective.

Even though his physical body had been enhanced and he had comprehended new Laws, and even though the power he unleashed far surpassed what he’d used in the battle that destroyed the city, it was still useless.

’This thing really is ridiculously strong,’ Chen Yu thought, his brow furrowing as he watched.

He was now getting a firsthand lesson in just how terrifying the Array of Celestial Gods truly was.

And this was only its defensive form. If it were to actually attack, he imagined the situation would be entirely different.
