Chapter 390 147: Divine Power
"Who's there?!"
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes as a powerful fluctuation spread from his body. His Life Force Field flared to life.
"Quite vigilant. Not bad."
A woman's voice echoed next to his ear.
Hearing this voice, Chen Yu was momentarily stunned.
The next second, space distorted, and a graceful figure appeared before Chen Yu's eyes.
'It's her!'
Seeing the graceful figure, Chen Yu instantly relaxed.
It was none other than Nangong Ba's master.
The female True God of the Human Race.
"Senior."
Chen Yu bowed in salute.
The female True God stepped forward, sized him up, and asked, "You haven't recovered yet?"
Chen Yu nodded. "I've recovered a little, but not completely."
Hearing this, the female True God quickly reached out and placed a hand on Chen Yu's shoulder.
In an instant, a vast wave of energy surged into his body.
BUZZ—!!!
In a flash, Chen Yu felt his depleted energy recovering at an extremely rapid pace.
Within the span of just a few breaths, he was back at his peak.
His Spirit, Essence, and Qi were instantly replenished.
The female True God slowly withdrew her hand.
Chen Yu immediately bowed. "Thank you for your help, Senior."
The female True God smiled faintly, looked at him, and said, "No need to be so polite. In fact, I should be the one thanking you."
Chen Yu: "?"
The female True God said, "You're the first person to ever make a True God of the Celestial Eye Race suffer a loss. You've really vented some anger on behalf of our Human Race."
Hearing this, Chen Yu smiled. "You flatter me, Senior. As a member of the Human Race, it's my duty to take action against the Alien Races."
The female True God nodded lightly. "I believe after this, the True God of the Celestial Eye Race has certainly taken notice of you."
Chen Yu: "..."
Being targeted by a True God was probably not a good thing for him.
"Don't worry, this situation was an anomaly. It shouldn't happen again," the female True God said.
But Chen Yu could only take her words with a grain of salt.
On the Stellar Battlefield, any kind of accident could happen. Even a True God couldn't guarantee that there would be no unforeseen circumstances.
"I came this time mainly to inform you of something else," the female True God said, looking at him.
'Something else?'
Chen Yu looked at the female True God before him. "What is it?"
"It's about the Divine Hall's assessment. You've already passed it."
"Passed?"
Chen Yu was taken aback.
'When did the assessment even start? How did I not know anything about it?'
"Your strength has already broken the rules. This recent incident has far exceeded the Divine Hall's assessment standards. You are the sole exception," the female True God said.
Hearing her words, Chen Yu understood.
'If you're strong enough, an exception can be made in any situation! That makes perfect sense.'
"When the time comes, after the assembly ends, I will personally lead you to the Divine Hall headquarters to receive the baptism," the female True God said, looking at him.
"Baptism?"
"What kind of baptism?" Chen Yu asked her curiously.
The female True God replied, "You'll find out what the baptism is when the time comes. Don't worry, it will benefit you."
"..."
'She's being so secretive…'
Chen Yu was left speechless, but if she wouldn't say, there was nothing he could do.
"Keep up the good work. Continue this trend, and it'd be best if you could take out a few more members of the Alien Races," the female True God said with a beaming smile, patting his shoulder.
Chen Yu nodded.
Immediately after, the female True God departed.
Watching the female True God leave, Chen Yu's gaze once again shifted to the distance.
He hadn't expected to complete the Divine Hall's assessment ahead of schedule.
But even if he hadn't, Chen Yu was still completely confident he could pass the Divine Hall's assessment.
The source of all his confidence came from his own strength.
With enough strength, nothing would be a problem.
'My next target…'
'I'll see how my luck goes.'
With a flash of thought, Chen Yu's figure vanished from the spot.
His accumulated Source of Life was depleted once again. He had to continue gathering more.
Sacred Light and his physical Evolution—these two alone required a total of 750 billion Source of Life to complete.
He had a long way to go!
...
「Three months flew by in the blink of an eye.」
Deep within a valley on the Stellar Battlefield, a massive RUMBLE echoed as the entire valley instantly collapsed. The surrounding mountains were destroyed, and a thick cloud of dust billowed into the air.
A figure slowly stepped out from within the dust cloud.
It was none other than Chen Yu.
Over the past few months, thanks to his current Force Field perception, Chen Yu's gains had increased rapidly.
'Two hundred and fifty billion... I wonder if there's any hope of getting the remaining five hundred billion.'
Looking at his accumulated Source of Life, Chen Yu sighed inwardly.
Gathering 250 billion Source of Life in three months was indeed a good pace.
But in Chen Yu's opinion, it was still too slow.
At this rate, he probably wouldn't reach his goal for his physical Evolution by the time the assembly ended.
'I'll upgrade it first.'
With a thought, Chen Yu immediately chose to upgrade Sacred Light.
The 250 billion Source of Life were instantly consumed. Within the Chaos, the sacred ball of light rapidly expanded like a supernova, bursting with brilliant radiance.
[Congratulations! The Skill has been upgraded to its maximum level. You have received a bonus reward of 500 Skill Points.]
[A Conceptual Legend Skill has been upgraded to its maximum level. You have received a bonus reward of 1,000 Skill Points.]
'So many!!'
Staring at the notification text before him, Chen Yu's eyelid twitched.
A full 1,500 Skill Points.
This far exceeded his expectations.
It was several times what he had received for maxing out previous Skills.
'Wait, with so many Skill Points awarded, how many will it cost to awaken this Conceptual Legend Skill?!'
Chen Yu quickly calmed down. With a thought, he swiftly checked.
[Current Skill Awakening requires 1,500 Skill Points. Awaken?!]
"Hm?"
'It's not more than that?'
Looking at the Skill Awakening prompt for Sacred Light, Chen Yu was stunned.
'This seems a bit different from previous upgrades!'
'Awaken!'
With that thought, Chen Yu instantly felt a violent tremor originating from within his body.
The ball of light expanded to its limit, then collapsed.
A vast power circulated throughout his entire body as a sacred radiance bloomed from within him.
[Skill Awakening successful: Divine Power!]
[Skill: Divine Power (Conceptual Immortal) - Possesses endless power, allowing you to unleash your ultimate strength, break your body's limits, surpass the power of gods, and be invincible...]
Chen Yu stared at the Skill in his mind for a long time before he finally processed it.
Divine Power, infinite strength.
At first glance, it didn't seem much different from Sacred Light, but upon closer inspection, the difference was huge.
Divine Power could condense an infinite amount of strength.
This power could even break the limits of what his own body could handle.
It could be charged up indefinitely.
Theoretically, if he charged up enough power, he could even slay a True God.
This charging could be stacked.
It condensed into a Sacred Seed.
It wasn't a stacking of uses, but a stacking of power.
A single Sacred Seed represented the limit of his charged power. Once he reached that charging limit, it would transform into a Sacred Seed.
After condensing one Sacred Seed, he could charge his power again to form a second one. The Divine Power would then merge, allowing strength to accumulate once more.
To put it simply, if his maximum strength was 100 million tons, stacking the charge could increase it to 200 million tons, then 300 million, 400 million, a billion, and even more.
Similarly, Divine Power could also instantly unleash its charges like Sacred Light used to, and the two functions wouldn't interfere with each other.
He could choose to merge them or not.
Awakening an Immortal-tier skill was like gaining an extra ultimate move!
'Does this mean that as long as I have enough power, I can kill a True God with a single punch?!'
Chen Yu's heart pounded wildly, and his eyes filled with utter disbelief.
