Chapter 470 227: Combined Strength

"Gah…"

The colossal figure shattered and dissipated. Jiang Can stumbled back a step, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes, fixed on Chen Yu in the distance, were filled with utter shock.

It was an all-out strike, arguably his strongest attack, yet Chen Yu had shattered it with such ease.

He had offered almost no resistance, crushed with overwhelming and effortless force.

Chen Yu's aura hadn't even fluctuated in the slightest.

The attack hadn't even managed to faze Chen Yu.

'Is the gap really that wide?'

To the side, Nangong Ba watched, dumbfounded.

After becoming a True God, he had long felt the urge to challenge Chen Yu.

They were all Tier One True Gods, but Chen Yu's strength seemed far more terrifying than they had ever imagined!

Seeing Chen Yu's calm and composed appearance, it seemed he had only used a tiny fraction of his strength.

They hadn't even managed to gauge the depths of his power.

The gap was simply enormous.

In the instant that aura had erupted, he thought he had felt death's approach.

It was a good thing this was just a friendly spar.

If this were a fight to the death against an enemy, he feared he would have been killed in an instant.

"Both of you, attack me with all your strength. Don't worry, I can take it," Chen Yu said.

Jiang Can wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and exchanged a look with Nangong Ba.

The two of them activated their abilities at the same time.

Chaos oscillated as powerful temporal energy coalesced, causing a massive array to materialize.

Boundless Divine Power poured into the array, completely sealing off the entire Azure Vault Divine Platform.

"Brother Yu, this is the Array of Space-Time we created together. Give it a try!"

Nangong Ba's voice rang out, and as soon as he finished speaking, the might of the array surged.

Countless beams of Divine Light rained down like a meteor bombardment, sweeping directly toward Chen Yu.

"The Array of Space-Time… Hmm, not bad."

Watching the sky full of Divine Light attacks, Chen Yu nodded. Then, he gently raised his hand, and vast Divine Power erupted like a flood.

The countless beams of Divine Light bombarded him, but as they drew near his body, they were instantly annihilated.

He constructed a defense with his Divine Power. Not even he knew the limits of his own Divine Power.

The enhancements from the World Tree's devouring had allowed his Divine Power to continuously break its limits.

It was like a sea of stars—vast and endless!

"This level of attack isn't enough. You need to be stronger," Chen Yu said softly, but his voice boomed in their ears like a great bell.

Hearing this, Nangong Ba and Jiang Can's faces flushed. They exchanged a glance and raised their hands. Deep within the array, countless beams of Divine Light gathered, forming a resplendent Divine Sword.

Imbued with the power of the Time Law and the Space Law, the Divine Power it exuded increased severalfold.

The power of the entire Array of Space-Time was drawn out and poured into the Space-Time Divine Sword.

"Brother Yu, this is our strongest combined attack! Face our sword!"

Their voices rang out in unison. In the next instant, the brilliant Space-Time Divine Sword slashed down. This one slash was enough to sunder a world.

A world-destroying sword!

It wasn't simply formed from the Space-Time Law; it was fused with the full power of the Array of Space-Time.

It could even heavily injure a Tier Two True God.

It had a complete lock on him—there was no escape!

For this attack, he could either meet it head-on or try to block it.

Escaping the lock was impossible.

"Hmm, this attack is not bad," Chen Yu remained calm and composed. Watching the descending Space-Time Sword, his body became wreathed in golden light.

He didn't activate any special abilities. He simply erupted with Divine Power and threw a straightforward punch.

A tangible fist seal howled through the air. The entire Azure Vault Divine Platform trembled, and the resulting shockwaves once again stirred the surrounding Chaotic Void into roiling tides.

"CRACK!!"

In the nick of time, the Golden Fist Seal collided with the Space-Time Sword, and the sound of shattering filled the air.

The Space-Time Divine Sword shattered like a mirror, and the entire Array of Space-Time instantly collapsed and dissipated.

"Urgh!"

"Urgh!"

Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood in unison, the Divine Light in their eyes dimming.

A single punch had shattered the Space-Time Sword. This devastating blow had completely crushed their combined strength.

The Golden Fist Seal surged forward, but it vanished the instant before it reached the two of them.

"WHOOSH—!"

With a single step, Chen Yu appeared before them. Seeing their dispirited expressions, he raised a hand and poured boundless Divine Power into their bodies.

In an instant, their complexions brightened, and their spirits were revitalized.

"Thank you, Brother Yu," they said in unison, cupping their fists.

Chen Yu smiled. "It's nothing. It was just a friendly spar."

"So, shall we continue?" Chen Yu asked.

The two exchanged a look, and Nangong Ba spoke up, "Brother Yu, we'd also like to test our close-quarters combat."

"You want to try close-quarters combat?"

Chen Yu looked at them, slightly startled, but he quickly recovered and nodded. "Sure, no problem."

"Go ahead."

As soon as his voice fell, they attacked simultaneously from the left and right, their punches, infused with Divine Power, reaching incredible speeds.

But in an instant, Chen Yu vanished.

"BAM! BAM!!"

Before they could react, they felt a heavy impact on their backs, and both figures were sent flying like rubber balls.

"WHOOSH—!"

Chen Yu moved like a beam of light. The moment the two landed, they were struck again.

"THUD!"

The Azure Vault Divine Platform shook. Several figures clashed and weaved at high speeds, but Chen Yu's speed was simply too fast. Even in close combat, they found it incredibly difficult to even touch him.

Despite joining forces, they were completely suppressed by Chen Yu.

"BANG—!"

Two figures slammed onto the divine platform. In just a few moments, they were black and blue, their faces and bodies covered in bruises.

"Brother Yu, stop! We give up!"

Jiang Can couldn't take it anymore and immediately called for a stop.

Chen Yu immediately stopped. He walked over to the two men lying on the ground and pulled them up.

"You've made considerable progress. Hmm, with your combined strength, you could even defeat a Tier Two True God. Keep working hard. Once you cultivate more Laws, your strength will increase severalfold."

Hearing Chen Yu's words, the two of them felt a lump in their throats.

'Beaten to a pulp, and he calls it "considerable progress"…'

'Why does that sound so strange?'

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Yu. We will work hard," Nangong Ba said, bowing deeply.

Chen Yu smiled and reached out again, pouring Divine Power into their bodies. The injuries on their faces healed at a visible rate, and in an instant, they were fully recovered.

"Alright, let's go. Your god-ascension ceremony is tomorrow," Chen Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Space-Time Passage appeared. The three of them stepped into it and reappeared inside the villa.

Lying on the sofa, the two of them let out a long sigh of relief.

The exchange had been brief, but they had gained a great deal from it.

They had reached new enlightenments regarding combat.

Looking at the two on the sofa, Chen Yu waved his hand, and two brilliant Divine Origins materialized out of thin air.

Their gazes were immediately drawn to the Divine Origins before them.

"Is this… the Divine Origin of a Tier Four True God?!"

Staring at the Divine Origins, their eyes widened.

The Divine Origin of a Tier Four True God.

'How does Chen Yu have these?'

'Could it be that he killed two Tier Four True Gods?'

"I'm giving these two Tier Four Divine Origins to you. Consider them my congratulatory gifts on your ascension to godhood."

Chen Yu's voice snapped them out of their daze, and they shot to their feet.

"Brother Yu, are… are you sure you want to give these Divine Origins to us?"

Nangong Ba and Jiang Can stared at him in disbelief.

Chen Yu smiled. "Of course. They are the gifts I prepared for you."
