Chapter 478: Eighth Law

Having clarified the information on the Anomaly Realm, Chen Yu calmed his mind and focused.

With this intelligence, his mission would be much easier.

However, before that, he wanted to try and comprehend the Eighth Law.

“Friend Chen Yu, are you there?”

Just as he was about to enter his Divine Domain to cultivate, a voice suddenly called out.

With a sweep of his consciousness, Chen Yu instantly saw a person standing outside his villa.

‘An elder of the Angel Race, Magear!’

The information surfaced in his mind, and Chen Yu instantly recalled having met him at the Godhood Assembly before.

An elder of the Angel Race!

And a True God Venerable.

A Tier Three True God, his strength was also formidable!

‘Why is he here? Could it be related to the Empress?’ The thought flashed through his mind. In the next instant, Chen Yu vanished from inside the villa, appearing outside in a flash.

Before him stood a handsome, middle-aged man—it was indeed the Angel Race elder, Magear!

Seeing Chen Yu appear, Magear’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

“Friend Chen Yu, your strength is extraordinary, just as the rumors say. It seems even the Taixu Divine Child was no match for you.”

‘He can’t have come just to flatter me. There must be a reason.’ Listening to Magear, Chen Yu smiled and said, “Elder Mai, you jest. May I ask the reason for your visit?”

Magear looked at Chen Yu and said, “Friend Chen Yu, I am preparing to return to the Angel Race. I came here this time not only to pay you a visit but also to deliver a message concerning the Empress.”

‘News about the Empress… just as I thought.’ Listening to Magear’s words, Chen Yu instantly understood.

“Elder Mai, what is the message from the Empress?”

Magear looked at him and said, “The Empress says that in another year and a half, she will require your assistance. This is an advance notice so that you can prepare.”

‘Another year and a half…’

The thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind as he listened to Magear.

That amount of time was neither long nor short.

A year and a half should be enough.

It shouldn’t be a problem to explore all the Space-Time Anomaly Realms within the Human Race’s territory.

“Alright, no problem. Thank you for informing me, Elder Mai. Please reply to the Empress that I will be there on time,” Chen Yu said, looking at Magear.

Magear smiled and nodded. “Good. In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll be on my way.”

With that, Magear’s figure vanished from before him.

As he watched Magear disappear, Chen Yu’s gaze flickered.

‘A year and a half…’

‘It’s enough.’

Letting out a breath, Chen Yu returned to the villa, opened his Divine Domain, and immediately plunged into its void.

Seated cross-legged upon the World Tree, Chen Yu took out the two Divine Origins he had won as a prize.

He activated his Divine Power and began to strip the Law of Fire from the Divine Origins on the spot.

The Law of Fire contained within the Divine Origins was exceptionally pure, but whether he could successfully cultivate the Eighth Law remained to be seen.

The more Laws one had, the harder it was to cultivate.

For a Tier One True God, the difficulty of cultivating additional Laws increased severalfold with each one.

The most difficult step was comprehending the Ninth Law.

This step had blocked 99% of all prodigies!

The Taixu Divine Child had comprehended the Ninth Law by stimulating his potential through a life-and-death battle, a method Chen Yu could not imitate.

This was a special ability of the Celestial Race.

Relying on comprehending the Laws from Divine Origins was the fastest and most direct path.

However, even if he failed to comprehend the Laws within these two Divine Origins, he wasn’t worried. After his victory in the battle, Feng Miaotian and the others had also won a great deal.

They had given him several Divine Origins containing Laws, including some with the Law of Fire.

Although they weren’t as pure as the Laws from the Divine Origins the Taixu Divine Child possessed, they would still be a great help.

The probability of successfully cultivating the Eighth Law was very high.

…

He successfully stripped the Laws contained within the two Divine Origins.

The Law of Fire surged before him like two fiery dragons.

However, they were forcefully suppressed by his Divine Power, unable to make the slightest stir.

Swallowing the two streams of the Law of Fire in one gulp, Chen Yu’s entire body began to emit a crimson glow as an intense heat diffused from him.

Space itself seemed to warp, yet even the extreme temperature erupting from the Law of Fire could not affect the World Tree.

Cultivating on the World Tree allowed him to comprehend Laws faster.

Immersed in comprehending the Law, time trickled by.

…

Time flowed like water.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout the Celestial River Star System, rumors of Chen Yu’s battle had spread across the entire system within a few months.

He had decisively defeated the Taixu Divine Child!

Even after comprehending the Ninth Law, the Divine Child was still no match for him.

Within three months, Chen Yu’s name had spread among all the major Alien Races.

His immense strength had even caused significant changes on the Stellar Battlefield.

The Human Race’s territory expanded, swallowing up numerous resources.

The duels at the Venerable Level had also become a focus of attention for the Venerables of the various Alien Races.

When he had first stepped into the realm of True Gods, the Alien Race Venerables might have been wary of him. Now, however, Chen Yu’s name had become an object of fear for most Alien Races.

He possessed strength comparable to a Tier Five True God.

And that was without even using an Innate Emperor’s Weapon.

Such monstrous growth inspired not just wariness, but terror.

Yet, even knowing his future potential was astonishing and that he had a chance to become a Great Emperor, there was nothing they could do to change the present.

After all, while there were many Alien Races with Venerables in the Celestial River Star System, there weren’t many with top-tier Venerables.

Furthermore, the Human Race’s strength was already ranked among the top, and the current situation had already caused a massive shift.

Even if some Alien Races wanted to break the status quo, they lacked the power to do so!

And within the Human Race, his name had become practically a household name.

It had spread throughout the Nine Realms!

…

「Azure Firmament Realm.」

City of Azure Firmament.

Inside a villa in the inner city, the void suddenly twisted, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

It was Chen Yu, who had been in seclusion for three months.

After three months of closed-door cultivation, Chen Yu had successfully cultivated the Eighth Law.

Not only had the Laws from the two Divine Origins been completely absorbed, but he also had to absorb the Laws from the Divine Origins given to him by Feng Miaotian and the others to finally succeed.

After cultivating the Eighth Law, his strength hadn’t changed much.

The increase from adding one more Law wasn’t as great as he had imagined.

This was mainly because his current strength had already surpassed its limits several times over.

If he wanted to break through again, he would have to cultivate all Nine Laws in one go.

‘To cultivate the Ninth Law… I’m afraid it will depend on opportunity, unless I wantonly hunt down True Gods who possess the same Law.’

Chen Yu gazed out the window.

Hunting Alien Race True Gods was currently impossible.

It wasn’t a matter of needing just one or two.

He would need to slay a great many True Gods.

If he recklessly hunted Alien Race True Gods, he would end up being attacked by all sides.

Even though the Human Race’s top-tier combat power had increased significantly, the gap was still vast.

If the Alien Races of the Celestial River united to besiege them, the Human Race wouldn’t be able to hold them off.

Even an attack from a portion of the Alien Races would be too much for the Human Race to withstand alone.

Unless they reached the level of strength of the Daluo Star System or the Central Empire.

‘There’s still over a year left. I’ll go check out the Space-Time Anomaly Realms first. As for cultivating the Ninth Law, I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the Outer Domain in the future.’

The thought flashed through his mind, and with a flicker, Chen Yu’s figure vanished from the villa.

With the Eighth Law cultivated, it was time to proceed with the next step of his plan.

Seize the World Tree!
