Chapter 256 - 109: Speed of God, Phoenix Power, Angel Feather
"Chen Yu, are... are you okay?" Liu Mei stepped forward, her eyes fixed on him.
Chen Yu shook his head. "I’m fine."
"Hmm? What happened to them?" Chen Yu noticed the unconscious Maya and Zhuge Qingfeng and looked at Liu Mei.
Liu Mei replied, "They’re injured, but it’s nothing serious."
Chen Yu nodded.
Liu Mei looked at him, a bashful blush on her face as she whispered, "You... you can’t do that again next time. I’m not that kind of girl. Things like that... they take time to develop."
Chen Yu: "?"
A giant question mark appeared in Chen Yu’s mind as he looked at Liu Mei’s shy expression.
’What is she talking about?’
’I don’t understand a thing she’s saying.’
"Sister Liu, I don’t understand," Chen Yu said.
Liu Mei: "..."
Her expression froze as she looked at Chen Yu. After a long moment, she came back to her senses.
’He’s already changed his tune?’
’Heh, men!’
"It’s nothing. Never mind, I was just talking nonsense," Liu Mei said.
Chen Yu: "...?"
"They’re injured too. Let’s get them out of here first," Chen Yu said, looking around.
Liu Mei nodded, her gaze shifting to the decapitated Angel Birdfolk. "Do you want this? I’d like to take it back. It would help with my mission."
"You take it. I don’t need it."
Immediately, Chen Yu activated his Biological Force Field, enveloping the two unconscious people, and swiftly vanished from the spot.
Liu Mei took the decapitated Angel Birdfolk with her as well.
...
Stepping out of the Ninth Abyss World and looking at the blue sky, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief.
This Abyss World was truly bizarre!
The sealed Angel Birdfolk, the mysterious Great Emperor, the Soul Pearl...
The whole series of events was simply mind-boggling.
What was even more absurd was that he seemed to look exactly like this world’s Great Emperor!
This world felt like it was shrouded in a thick fog.
Making it impossible to see clearly.
"I’ll take them back for treatment. If you need anything, send me a message," Chen Yu said to Liu Mei.
"Okay." Liu Mei nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she stopped and looked at Chen Yu. "Will you be entering this Abyss again?"
"I probably will, but I’ll need to rest for a day or two," Chen Yu said.
The continuous high-intensity battles had left his mind somewhat fatigued.
"My mission is almost complete, so I probably won’t be able to accompany you," Liu Mei said, looking at him.
"That’s fine. We can team up again next time if there’s a chance," Chen Yu said with a smile.
Liu Mei gave him a deep look, only speaking after a long moment. "Farewell!"
With that, she flew away.
Watching Liu Mei’s departing figure, Chen Yu glanced at the two unconscious people, then with a flicker of movement, he took them and left the island.
...
「Hai City Villa.」
After transfusing some Qi into them, Chen Yu placed them in two separate bedrooms to rest, while he went to the living room.
He took out the Tang dao; the nick on it had already healed.
Sophie had the ability to self-repair, a new power gained from her recent upgrade.
Having become an Extraordinary Weapon, she could now heal automatically.
With a thought, the Tang dao transformed into a metal bracelet and clasped onto his wrist. Chen Yu then summoned his interface to check it.
"Five hundred million!"
"So much!"
Staring at the Source of Life on his interface, Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
A full five hundred million Source of Life!
If he remembered correctly, he only had around two hundred and eighty million before dealing with the Angel Birdfolk.
In that one go, it had increased by two hundred and twenty million!
That was even more than what he got from killing the Flame Demon Spirit.
’Although the consumption was huge, it was still a great harvest...’
Chen Yu was overjoyed.
Five hundred million Source of Life in one day... if he could keep this up, it would only take a few days to max out all his Skills.
But that was just wishful thinking.
After all, he wouldn’t have such good "luck" every time!
However, the South Sea Ninth Abyss still had great potential to be tapped.
He would definitely go back.
It was best to exploit a place this good for all it was worth.
Otherwise, after some time passed and more people went there, the situation inside would surely change.
’Time to upgrade a Skill...’
Looking at the interface, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.
With five hundred million Source of Life, he could upgrade any of his Skills except for "Will of God."
However, he could only choose to upgrade one Skill.
’I should probably upgrade the Biological Force Field...’
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu decided to upgrade the Biological Force Field.
Unlike his other Skills, he could already wield the vast majority of the Biological Force Field’s power at his current level of strength.
The other Skills consumed too much energy, and he couldn’t sustain them at the moment.
The Biological Force Field integrated offense and defense, and it would also greatly enhance his overall strength.
BUZZ—!
The moment the thought formed, a vibration emanated from within his body.
Within the Chaos, a golden cluster of light erupted with brilliant radiance, just like a sun.
The radiance flared, and in an instant, it leaped to its peak.
The golden light began to transform as well.
Within the dense golden light, a faint trace of white was intermixed.
In just a moment, Chen Yu felt a tremendous change.
His Force Field sense now covered almost the entirety of the Hai City safe zone.
However, Chen Yu didn’t probe carefully. After all, he was well aware that deep within Hai City lay a True God Castle.
Although he didn’t know if that True God was still there, he had no desire to be noticed by one.
Besides the Force Field’s sensory range, its amplification had also improved tremendously.
With a single thought, an explosive power surged through his body.
Even if a meteor fell from the sky, Chen Yu was confident that with the Force Field’s amplification, he could shatter a star with a single punch.
This explosive amplification gave him the feeling that he could destroy anything.
