After calming himself, Chen Yu stood in the Chaotic Void and summoned his panel to view the details.
Name: Chen Yu
Talent: Limitless Body (Divine Tier Six 0/50 Trillion) [Unique Talent]
Skills: Life Force Field (Awakened Immortal Lv. 5, 0/6 Trillion), Cosmic Will (Conceptual Legend Lv. 4, 0/3 Trillion), Godspeed (Awakened Myth Lv. 5, 0/5 Trillion), Gate of Hell (Conceptual Immortal Lv. 4, 0/2 Trillion), Divine Dragon Power (Awakened Immortal Lv. 4, 0/2 Trillion), Divine Power (Conceptual Immortal Lv. 4, 0/5 Trillion), Seal of the Celestial Weave (Awakened Legend Lv. 4, 0/1 Trillion), Black Cosmos Power (Awakened Legend Lv. 5, 0/4 Trillion), Godslaying Eye (Awakened Legend Lv. 5, 0/8 Trillion!), Cosmic Aura (Awakened Immortal Lv. 5, 0/10 Trillion!), Divine Avatar (Awakened Epic Lv. 3, 0/5 Trillion)
Source of Life: 300 Billion!
Skill Points: 1,500!
’The next stage requires fifty trillion...’
’If I do the math, that means I’ll have to kill at least fifty Tier One True Gods...’
’Damn, this feels like I’m saddled with a huge loan...’ Chen Yu winced internally.
His body’s evolution alone required a full fifty trillion Source of Life.
On top of that, his current skill upgrades required Skill Points.
Adding it all up, the total was probably heading toward a hundred trillion.
’A hundred trillion... If only I could run into a huge wave of Hell Demon Gods.’
Chen Yu lamented internally.
It seemed like a lot, and in reality... well, yes, it was a lot.
But if he got lucky and ran into a large horde of Hell Demon Gods, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.
A single Tier Five True God was worth ten trillion Source of Life.
Kill ten of them, and that would be a hundred trillion Source of Life!
However, he probably wouldn’t be lucky enough to encounter Hell Demon Gods of that level.
’No rush. I’ll take it slow. Sooner or later, I’ll run into them.’
Chen Yu’s heart surged with anticipation.
He was even starting to look forward to the war between the Underworld and Mortal World.
With this kind of progress, his strength might soon be enough to face a Great Emperor head-on.
True God, Great Emperor!
The gap between them was countless times greater than the gap between a True God and a Ninth-level Martial Artist.
He once thought that ascending to the level of a cosmic True God was the absolute peak.
But now that his horizons had broadened, he realized that stepping into the realm of True Gods was merely climbing a small hill.
He was still a million miles away from the true summit!
In normal times, a True God Venerable might be powerful enough to dominate, but once the war between the Underworld and Mortal World began...
...in a clash of Cosmic Level proportions, countless True Gods would likely perish.
All he could do was increase his own strength as quickly as possible before the war arrived.
After all, he was still carrying a "debt."
The Demon Heaven Emperor’s cosmic Emperor’s Weapon was still with him, and although he had refined and controlled it...
...if the "previous owner" showed up, he, the "current owner," definitely wouldn’t be strong enough to keep it.
Chen Yu wasn’t sure how large the gap between him and a Great Emperor was.
But he knew it couldn’t be small.
"A million miles" would be putting it lightly.
Even if he went all out, he couldn’t withstand a single blow from a Great Emperor!
A True God looked upon those beneath them as ants!
And a Great Emperor’s view of a True God wasn’t much different.
Even a True God at their peak was just a slightly larger ant in the eyes of a Great Emperor.
Killing one might present a slight obstacle, but only a very slight one.
He had heard of Ninth-level Martial Artists fighting above their station against True Gods, even managing to heavily injure a Tier One True God.
But to this day, he had never heard of a True God capable of challenging a Great Emperor.
Cosmic Dao!
That alone spoke volumes about its value.
’Enough overthinking. I should focus on devouring Divine Origins, absorbing Divine Formats, and increasing my cultivation base.’
Calming himself, Chen Yu sat cross-legged in the Chaotic Void, took out a Divine Origin, and began to absorb it for his cultivation.
With his Divine Avatars, he didn’t need to set up any Barriers.
If anything happened, with a single thought, his Divine Avatars would manifest. The three of them were each a sliver stronger than his main body, so he had nothing to worry about.
As he improved his own strength, his avatars would also grow stronger, becoming even more terrifying.
...
Time passed, second by second.
A month had passed while he sat cross-legged in the Chaotic Void.
Deep in the void, Chen Yu remained perfectly still, his body suffused with a powerful Divine Light.
The Space-Time Law swirled around him. Though a month had passed in the outside world, he had actually been cultivating for several years.
Compared to a month ago, his aura had climbed to an even more terrifying level.
He devoured Divine Origins, strengthening himself.
His cultivation base was also approaching the limit of Tier Three.
His supreme Divine Format absorbed the other Divine Formats without the slightest strain.
Divine Light surged around his body.
The Chaotic Void was as silent as death.
But at that very moment, in another part of the vast, boundless Chaotic Void, two streaks of Divine Light were speeding along.
Within the Divine Light were a man and a woman.
Their faces were pale and their auras turbulent; they were clearly injured.
The man and woman tore through the Chaotic Void at full speed.
Close behind them, a dark streak of Divine Light relentlessly pursued the pair.
It moved at a leisurely pace, seemingly toying with them.
"Brother Bai, he’s doing this on purpose! If this keeps up, once our Divine Power is exhausted, we’ll be dead either way."
As they sped onward, the woman sent a telepathic message while pushing forward with all her might.
The young man’s face was pale. Hearing her message, his expression remained unchanged.
"Feng Ling, we can’t give up. I’ve already sent out a call for help. As long as we hold on, there’s still hope."
But hearing this, the woman’s face showed no trace of happiness.
’A call for help...’
They had already called for help before, but the core of the Outer Domain was simply too vast. Even for a True God, it would be difficult to arrive in time.
’Still hope...’
They’d probably be killed long before any help could arrive.
However, at this point, all they could do was keep running.
Fleeing offered a sliver of hope. If they tried to fight back, especially after being ambushed and already outmatched in strength, they wouldn’t stand a chance against their pursuer even if they joined forces.
"Let’s hope so," the woman replied telepathically. The two of them continued to pour out their Divine Power, speeding through the Chaos.
"Hm?"
"I sense the aura of a Human Race Venerable! Feng Ling, we’re saved!"
As they traversed the Chaotic Void, the young man suddenly seemed to sense something, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
Hearing this, the woman, Feng Ling, also rallied her spirits. She extended her Divine Thought and, sure enough, she sensed the aura of a Human Race Venerable.
Hope instantly ignited in their hearts, and they sped at full throttle toward the source of the aura.
Soon, in the Chaotic Void, the man and woman saw a young man in black robes sitting cross-legged in the void.
Divine Light erupted from his body!
A majestic pressure enveloped the Chaotic Void.
The moment they entered the range of his Divine Power, their frantic speed came to a halt as if the weight of a billion stars had descended upon them.
"A Tier Three True God... how can he have such terrifying Divine Power?!"
The man and woman’s pupils contracted.
His cultivation was clearly that of a Tier Three True God, yet the aura leaking from him felt incredibly immense.
They both wondered if their senses were deceiving them.
Was this really a Tier Three True God?!
What kind of Tier Three True God possessed such a monstrously suppressive Divine Power?
They were both Tier Two True Gods, and although they were heavily injured, the young man sitting in the Chaotic Void was suppressing them with his Divine Power alone, making it difficult to even move.
Within the area covered by his Divine Power, it felt as if they were trapped in a swamp.
"A Tier Three True God with such terrifying Divine Power... Doesn’t this mean we’re saved?!"
Reacting quickly, immense hope surged in their hearts.
The one pursuing them was also a being at Tier Three True God Perfection.
But in terms of the aura of his Divine Power, he was worlds apart from the young man before them.
They could still run from their pursuer, but this person in front of them could immobilize them with his Divine Power alone. There was no running from that!
The two exchanged a look, both feeling a strong sense of hope.
Just then, the Chaotic Void trembled as a powerful aura swept over them.
"Heheheh, an unexpected bonus. Not bad."
A brazen laugh rang out, and a black-robed figure stepped forth.
But the moment he stepped into the range of the Divine Power, the black-robed figure’s expression changed abruptly.
Enveloped by the powerful Divine Power, he felt an unprecedented pressure.
At that instant, a ray of Divine Light shot out from the body of the young man sitting in the void, manifesting as an identical figure.
"An avatar?!"
The man and woman stared, stunned at the sight.
In that same moment, the manifested avatar appeared directly in front of the black-robed figure.
"A Hell Demon God... and an unexpected surprise. Not bad."
A smile appeared on the face of Chen Yu’s avatar.
The black-robed figure, however, reacted as if facing a formidable foe. Divine Light surged around him as he launched a direct attack at Chen Yu’s avatar.
But in the next instant, a black hole appeared behind Chen Yu’s avatar and devoured the attack completely.
Immediately after, the black hole trembled and reflected the attack.
"PUH!!!"
The Chaotic Void shuddered. The black-robed Hell Demon God spat out Divine Blood, his aura fluctuating wildly.
However, before the black-robed Hell Demon God could even catch his breath, Chen Yu’s avatar moved again.
"ROAR—!!!"
A dragon’s roar shook the Chaotic Void as a fist of golden light, as brilliant as the sun, illuminated the Chaos.
"BOOM!!!"
A single punch pierced straight through the black-robed Hell Demon God’s body, and his aura plummeted.
The black-robed Hell Demon God’s expression was one of pure horror. He felt absolute despair, and a crazed light flickered in his eyes.
"Damn it all! Let’s die together!"
His furious roar shook the Chaotic Void as the black-robed Hell Demon God’s aura instantly skyrocketed.
"He’s self-destructing his Divine Origin!"
The man and woman’s expressions changed drastically, but suppressed by the Divine Power, they couldn’t move an inch.
"Trying to self-destruct? Did you ask for my permission?"
A faint voice echoed. In the next breath, Chen Yu’s avatar reached out and forcibly ripped out the black-robed Hell Demon God’s Divine Origin.
His Divine Power was completely sealed.
Not only did he dig out the Divine Origin, he even extracted the Divine Format.
The violent aura instantly vanished, and the black-robed Hell Demon God’s aura plummeted once more.
"My Divine Origin..." The black-robed Hell Demon God looked listless and was on the brink of death, his eyes filled with extreme terror.
"How bold! You dare covet my Divine Origin!"
"..."
’He dug out the Divine Origin, and now it’s his...’
’This...’
’It’s just insane!’
The man and woman stood frozen in place, petrified, their hearts twitching uncontrollably.
Hearing those words, the black-robed Hell Demon God coughed up another mouthful of Divine Blood, his life force dropping to a freezing point.
"You... you’re shameless!"
The black-robed Hell Demon God trembled all over.
However, Chen Yu’s avatar acted as if he hadn’t heard, and thrust a hand into his body.
He tore open the Divine Kingdom within, and a wave of Divine Light swept through, clearing out everything inside.
Then, a palm descended upon the black-robed Hell Demon God’s head.
"BOOM!!!"
The Demon God’s body shattered. Divine Blood splattered, transforming into a spiritual light that filled the Chaotic Void!
