Chapter 186 - 97: Shattering the Void! Ultimate Celestial Light

Upon the ruined plains, a red light bloomed.

"He’s out."

At that moment, Maya, who was regulating her breath, snapped her eyes open and stared into the distant void.

Endless blood-red lightning crackled, covering the sky.

Chen Yu’s massive body was engulfed, devastating wounds appearing all over him.

A bone-white flame flickered, and the wounds that appeared quickly healed.

When the blood-red lightning completely vanished, Chen Yu’s figure reappeared.

Raging flames burned around him, his aura growing even more terrifying.

"He even withstood that!"

Watching this unfold, the Celestial Eye youth’s face was filled with terror.

In the next instant, Chen Yu’s figure flickered and vanished.

Immediately after, a sky-blotting hand descended, accompanied by a sonic boom.

The Celestial Eye youth desperately activated his Celestial Eye, and a crimson beam shot straight through the sky-blotting hand.

But it was completely useless. Before he could even catch his breath, another massive hand descended.

BOOM!!

It struck the Celestial Eye youth’s body perfectly, swatting him like a fly deep into the earth.

A pillar of dust and smoke shot skyward as a devastating shockwave ripped across the land.

"Pfft..."

Severely wounded by the single blow, the Celestial Eye youth was once again left battered and weak.

The body he had just recovered had once more suffered devastating damage.

"It’s over."

The voice, like Celestial Thunder, echoed in the Celestial Eye youth’s ears.

The Celestial Eye youth was terrified and did everything in his power to resist.

But such terrifying power was simply unbearable; his muscles and bones snapped once more.

With a deafening, sky-shaking boom, his consciousness faded completely into darkness.

A massive Palm Seal was imprinted on the ground.

A hundred meters deep!

A shocking sight!

Like the hand of a god!

The Celestial Eye youth’s body had been completely smashed to a pulp. Even his Extraordinary physique couldn’t withstand the continuous, destructive attacks.

"Cough, cough..."

After finishing off the Celestial Eye youth, Chen Yu’s body returned to its normal size.

His face was pale; he had consumed nearly eighty percent of his vital energy.

A massive expenditure of vital energy!

But it was all worth it.

Killing the Celestial Eye Race youth had netted him a full forty million points of Source of Life. Combined with the Demon Beasts he had killed in the Mirror Space, he had reaped a harvest of over seventy million Source of Life points in one go.

Taking out a bottle of Life Secret Medicine, Chen Yu downed it in one gulp.

His pale complexion immediately regained its healthy, rosy color.

His vital energy was instantly restored to its peak state.

’This stuff is good. A pity there’s so little of it...’ Chen Yu sighed internally.

Life Secret Medicine was good stuff.

Not only could it restore consumed vital energy, but it could also instantly heal injuries.

A true "Divine Medicine"!

Unfortunately, he didn’t have much in stock, with only a few bottles left.

Without the recovery provided by the Life Secret Medicine, it would take a great deal of time for his depleted vital energy to return to normal.

’One hundred seventy million...’

Looking at his Source of Life, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

His Source of Life had accumulated to over one hundred seventy million, a haul comparable to wiping out an entire beast tide, or perhaps even more.

However, this rapid initial surge was temporary. The more he killed, the more the number of alien beasts would plummet, making it impossible to continue accumulating points so quickly later on.

The alien beasts in the Abyss of the Crane Ridge Anomaly were not infinite.

Kill a portion, and that portion is gone.

’Pushing it to two hundred million shouldn’t be a problem...’

Chen Yu thought to himself with a sigh.

There was still plenty of time. Although staying in the Abyss for more than twenty-four hours would expose one to immense abyssal radiation, with his current strength, he was confident he could withstand it.

One day definitely wouldn’t be enough.

He needed a few more days.

In any case, the special device on him had already recorded that he had eliminated an Alien Race member.

The assessment was successfully completed. For the rest of the time, he was free to do as he pleased.

SWOOSH—!

A sound of tearing air preceded Maya’s swift arrival in front of Chen Yu. Gazing at the hundred-meter-wide, abyssal Palm Seal, her heart trembled ceaselessly.

This level of strength had almost reached the very peak.

And this was far from Chen Yu’s limit. In the future, when he grew to level nine, his power...

Maya didn’t even dare to imagine it.

In Chen Yu, she seemed to see the rise of a new god.

His strength had climbed at such an unbelievable rate that Maya even suspected he might be the reincarnation of some True God.

This kind of improvement was simply outrageous.

Back in the Capital City, there had still been a gap between them. Though she had been shocked by his power, she had felt confident she could catch up.

But now...

The gap was so huge that her composure was starting to crumble.

"Chen Yu, are you alright?" Maya asked, calming the turmoil in her heart.

Chen Yu shook his head. "I’m fine. Just a little drained."

"Are you going to keep exploring here?" Maya asked, looking at him.

"Yes. I haven’t completed the academy’s mission yet."

Chen Yu nodded.

Maya: "..."

’Taking out a level-eight Alien Race member isn’t enough to complete the mission?’

’What kind of outrageous mission are you on?!’

’Even a normal S-rank mission should have been completed by now, right?!’

But since Chen Yu had said so, Maya didn’t press the issue.

It didn’t matter what his mission was. Even if she knew, she probably couldn’t help him anyway.

"This time, I really have to thank you," Maya said with a sincere expression, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled. "It was nothing."

"By the way, how did you run into those Demon Lizard Race members before?"

Chen Yu asked, looking at Maya.

If members of the Demon Lizard Race were here, there might be other Alien Races as well.

To accumulate Source of Life, ordinary alien beasts or even entire herds were not enough for him. Taking out a single powerful member of an Alien Race was more profitable than dealing with tens of thousands of common alien beasts.

Maya thought for a moment before looking at him and saying, "I’m not sure how I ran into them. I accidentally stumbled into a valley where it seemed like there was an Alien Race base. But before I had a chance to investigate, I was discovered by the Demon Lizard Race. They started chasing me, and the rest is what you saw."
