Chapter 389 146: Upgrade and Recovery
Staring at the figure before him, the Celestial Eye Race True God's expression was extremely grim.
Flames of fury burned in his eyes.
This time, not only had he failed to eliminate his target, but he had also suffered a loss.
Failing to catch up even after igniting his Divine Origin—if word of this got out, it would be a colossal joke.
He might have laughed if it had happened to someone else, but when it was his own humiliation, there was nothing amusing about it at all.
"Hmph, when was I hunting anyone? Can't I just come out for a look?"
Looking at the woman before him, the Celestial Eye Race True God snorted coldly.
"A look..."
The woman smiled, her aura intensifying once again, freezing time and space itself.
"Do you take me for a fool?"
"Did you see me kill anyone?" the Celestial Eye Race True God retorted with a cold snort.
"..."
"Fine. Just fine. A magnificent True God of the Celestial Eye Race, utterly shameless."
"Xu Tian, since you won't admit it, I won't force you. But I'll be watching. If you want to make a move, my Human Race will see this through to the very end!"
With that said, the woman's figure vanished.
The Celestial Eye Race True God stood there, his face livid.
In his mind, a figure and a face appeared, seared into his memory like a brand.
"Damn you, Human! I will make you pay!"
His fists clenched. With a roar, the Celestial Eye Race True God vanished.
...
「Stellar Battlefield.」
Deep within a great mountain range, Chen Yu carried the unconscious Michael down into a cave.
"THUD..."
The moment he set Michael down, Chen Yu couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
The repeated bursts of ultimate Divine Power, combined with the explosive Ultimate Speed, had nearly overwhelmed even his True God Body.
But thankfully, he had escaped the pursuit of the Celestial Eye Race member.
The cost had been enormous, but this time, it was worth it.
The clash with the Celestial Eye Race True God had shown him the true power of a True God.
Even with his current abilities, he still couldn't truly go head-to-head with a True God.
His ability to contend with a True God was all thanks to Sacred Light.
The power of a Conceptual Legend Skill was simply off the charts.
Chen Yu really hoped he could obtain another conceptual ability.
However, the amount of Source of Life required for his body's Evolution was daunting.
He was still a long, long way off.
In the short term, he still couldn't truly fight a True God.
At best, he could only contend with one. Once his accumulated uses ran out, he would be completely finished.
Still, Chen Yu was very satisfied with what he had managed to achieve.
After all, there was basically no one who could contend with a True God, let alone injure one.
Now, he had earned the right to stand proud in the Starry Cosmos.
Of course, there was still a huge gap to cross before he could truly dominate the Starry Cosmos.
After catching his breath, Chen Yu summoned his interface to check it.
'One hundred ten billion... Not bad.'
Seeing that his collected Source of Life had reached the hundreds of billions, Chen Yu felt a little more at ease.
'I should upgrade God Speed first...'
After a moment of thought, Chen Yu chose to upgrade God Speed. It was a lifesaving ability.
Currently, his maximum speed could reach thirty light-years, but that still wasn't enough.
He had almost been caught today. If he encountered the same situation again, he might not be so lucky.
If he upgraded it again, his speed would be even greater.
He might not be able to maintain that top speed for long, but even a single second could be a lifesaver at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu upgraded God Speed without hesitation.
Within the Chaos, a ball of light trembled.
In an instant, Chen Yu felt an incredible lightness throughout his entire body.
It felt as if he were strolling among the clouds.
A moment later, everything returned to normal.
Chen Yu looked at his interface again as the information materialized before his eyes.
Name: Chen Yu
Talent: Infinite Physique (Divine Tier One 0/500,000,000,000) [Unique Talent]
Skills: Frozen World (Awakened Legend Level 4 0/10,000,000,000), Life Force Field (Awakened Immortal Level 3 0/80,000,000,000), Will of God (Legend MAX), God Speed (Awakened Mythical Level 4 0/900,000,000,000), Destructive Celestial Light (Epic MAX), Forest of All Things (Awakened Mythical Level 2 0/20,000,000,000), Lord of the Undead (Epic MAX), Divine Dragon Power (Awakened Immortal Level 2 0/80,000,000,000), Sacred Light (Conceptual Legend Perfection 0/250,000,000,000)
Source of Life: 15,304,005,732
Skill Points: 60
'My limits now should have far surpassed what they were... At the very least, I can escape from a True God.'
Seeing God Speed upgraded to Mythical Level 4, Chen Yu's heart settled.
Mythical Level 4, a speed that surpassed a True God's.
'How many times the speed of light is that? I bet not even Sophie could measure it now.'
But compared to before, he was definitely much faster.
Being able to get away from a True God—that alone was enough.
If you can't beat them, you just have to be able to outrun them.
Closing the interface, Chen Yu was just about to cultivate using the Celestial Destiny Skill when, at his side, the unconscious Michael began to stir.
The moment he opened his eyes, Michael became instantly alert, but when he saw Chen Yu beside him, his taut nerves relaxed.
"Chen Yu, what about that Celestial Eye Race True God?" Michael asked, looking at him.
"Don't worry, we lost him," Chen Yu said calmly.
"Lost him?!"
Hearing this, Michael froze, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Chen Yu.
'What kind of speed do you need to escape from a True God?!'
But then he remembered that Chen Yu had the power to contend with the Celestial Eye Race True God. In that light, being able to shake off an Alien Race True God seemed plausible.
"Thank you for everything," Michael said, looking at him with a guilty expression.
Chen Yu smiled. "It's nothing. There's no need to thank me. The Celestial Eye Race has always been an enemy of my Human Race."
Hearing this, Michael managed a small smile, but he knew this was just the Human Race's way of being polite.
He now owed a debt.
How could he ever repay it? With his current strength, it would be difficult to help Chen Yu in any meaningful way.
Michael never imagined that since they had last parted, Chen Yu's strength would have increased so drastically.
Such a leap in power was extremely rare, even among the Angel Race.
Besides the Great Emperor of the Angel Race, probably not even the Angel Race's True Gods had been this formidable in their youth.
"Are you alright?" Michael asked, snapping out of his thoughts.
Chen Yu shook his head. "I'm fine. Just a bit drained. I'll be okay after some rest. You're injured too. You should recover here first."
Michael nodded, then he too closed his eyes and began to recover.
Recovering by circulating the Celestial Destiny Skill couldn't compare to recovering with a Life Light Group.
But for now, he could only rely on the Celestial Destiny Skill to recover, as he had already used up all his Life Light Groups.
His body's power was depleted. He had to wait for his body to recover some of its strength before he could go out and kill members of the Alien Race to obtain more Life Light Groups.
...
A day passed. Chen Yu had recovered a third of his strength.
The main drain had been on his True God Body. The repeated, ultimate bursts of Divine Power had been a massive overload, and the cost was huge.
Recovering a third was enough.
Michael was also mostly recovered. The two of them left the cave.
Looking at the mountain range stretching into the distance, Michael turned to Chen Yu. "Chen Yu, I'll be taking my leave now. I still have some things to take care of."
Chen Yu nodded. He watched Michael leave, and just as he was about to consider his next move, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
