Chapter 487 - 244: There Is a Method, But It’s Not Suitable

"Chen Yu, isn’t your appointment with the Angel Empress coming up soon?" Feng Miaotian asked, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded. "Yes, it’s in a month."

"Then you should be careful. I’ve heard that the Angel Race has been dealing with beings from Hell. They even encountered a Hell Demon God-level entity."

"A Hell Demon God-level entity?"

Chen Yu was taken aback.

This news was rather unexpected.

’But it also makes sense, I suppose.’

The invasion of the Underworld Cosmos into the Mortal World was bound to happen sooner or later.

He himself had personally thwarted some of the Hell Nether Race’s plans and dealt with some beings from Hell.

However, he had yet to encounter a Hell Demon God-level entity.

But if a situation like this had occurred with the Angel Race, he would have to be on his guard.

"So what happened to this Hell Demon God?" Chen Yu asked.

Feng Miaotian replied, "The Angel Race has already dealt with it. As for whether it was completely eliminated, that’s currently unclear."

"Brother Yu, maybe you shouldn’t go," Dongfang Yao said, looking at him with a worried expression. "Just let the Angel Race know. With our current strength, they should show us some respect."

Hearing this, Chen Yu shook his head. "That’s not an option. Since I’ve already promised, I must go."

"Besides, I have a personal matter I need to verify with the Angel Empress."

"Alright then." Dongfang Yao didn’t say anything more and just nodded.

"Do you... have anything else?" Chen Yu asked, looking at the three of them.

"Brother Yu, do you have something important to do? It sounds like you’re trying to rush us out," Nangong Ba said, looking at him with a mournful expression.

Chen Yu: "..."

"I’m about to undergo my Divine Tribulation, so I’m afraid I can’t chat any longer," Chen Yu said.

"Divine Tribulation!!"

Hearing this, the three of them turned their heads in unison to look at his Divine Domain.

Shock, stupor, and disbelief!

"What’s with that look? Am I not allowed to undergo my tribulation?" Chen Yu said, seeing their expressions.

Feng Miaotian looked at him with a grave expression and said, "Chen Yu, are you giving up? If you undergo your tribulation this easily, you won’t be able to cultivate a Supreme Divine Kingdom."

"You’re so close. To give up now would be a tremendous loss."

"Yeah, Brother Yu! Weren’t you going to master the Ninth Law and achieve a Supreme Divine Kingdom? Right now, you’re the greatest hope of the Human Race," Nangong Ba couldn’t help but add.

"Brother Yu, if you give up like this, it’ll be a loss for the entire Human Race. I believe in you. You can definitely master the Nine Laws," Dongfang Yao chimed in.

"..."

Listening to them, Chen Yu looked completely exasperated.

"Can you let me get a word in?"

Chen Yu interrupted them.

The three of them looked at him. Without wasting any words, Chen Yu unleashed nine different types of the Power of Laws.

"I’m undergoing my Divine Tribulation because I have already mastered the Ninth Law."

Chen Yu’s voice drifted into their ears.

Sensing the nine types of the Power of Laws emanating from Chen Yu, the three of them stared at him, dumbfounded.

"Brother Yu, you... you’ve already mastered the Nine Laws?" Nangong Ba asked, looking at him in a daze.

"What else?" Chen Yu shot him a look.

"How... how could this be? You mastered the Nine Laws so quickly?" Feng Miaotian looked at him, her face a mask of disbelief.

Even after sensing the nine types of the Power of Laws, she still found it hard to believe.

Nine Laws!

To master them so quickly was simply unprecedented.

She had thought that no matter what, Chen Yu would need about ten years, but how long had it actually been?

And just like that, the Nine Laws were mastered?

’What happened to it being millions of times harder?’

’This guy must be the universe’s favorite son!’

Even the Taixu Divine Child took decades, and only succeeded after a great battle with Chen Yu.

But for Chen Yu, it seemed to be a different story.

How hard was it to master the Ninth Law?

Once, Wu Wudi had spent decades and still failed.

This difficulty wasn’t unique to the Human Race; it was a challenge for many Alien Races as well.

The difficulty of the Ninth Law compared to the Eighth Law was more than ten thousand times greater.

Overcoming such a gap was no different from crossing an insurmountable chasm.

"Brother Yu, you... how did you master the Ninth Law? Can you share some of your experience? I want to give it a try in the future too," Nangong Ba asked, looking at him like a curious child with eyes full of hope.

Dongfang Yao also looked at him expectantly. If Chen Yu had some special method, perhaps she could use it too.

Mastering the Ninth Law and achieving a Supreme Divine Kingdom was equivalent to stepping across the threshold to becoming a Great Emperor.

Even if there was just a sliver of a chance, they had to try.

Looking at their expectant gazes, Chen Yu sighed. "A shortcut... well, there is one. But it’s a method you probably can’t use."

"What shortcut?" Nangong Ba asked, his face getting right up in Chen Yu’s.

"The World Tree," Chen Yu said flatly.

???

Hearing this, the others were stunned.

’What does mastering the Ninth Law have to do with the World Tree?’

’Could it be that the World Tree can actually help one master the Ninth Law?’

"I was only able to master the Ninth Law because of the World Tree," Chen Yu explained calmly. "I had to withstand its power, allow it to take root in my Divine Domain, and continuously nurture it until it reached a certain threshold. Only then did I succeed."

Hearing this, the expressions on Nangong Ba and Dongfang Yao’s faces immediately fell.

’If that’s the case, then what’s the point of even talking about it!’

Back then, the World Tree had nearly drained all of his power. They had never seen a second person besides Chen Yu who could let the World Tree take root in their Divine Domain and still grow stronger.

Seeing their expressions, Chen Yu naturally understood what they were thinking.

There was something else he didn’t say: one had to find a World Tree capable of birthing an incarnation of the Celestial Dao for it to grow.

At the very least, it had to be a World Tree that had coalesced the will of the Celestial Dao.

But even if such a World Tree existed, to withstand its power, one would need the same abilities he had.

Even so, this method was impossible to replicate. It was truly one of a kind.

Wu Wudi had once said that the power of the World Tree was not something a Divine Domain could withstand.

If not for a fortunate coincidence, he too might have found it very difficult to master the Ninth Law.

"Alright, your own talent and comprehension aren’t bad. The universe is vast and full of wonders. If you have a fortuitous encounter in the future, you might be able to master the Ninth Law as well," Chen Yu offered as a word of comfort.

"Yeah, right," Nangong Ba rolled his eyes. "In the entire Celestial River Star System today, who besides the Taixu Divine Child and you has mastered the Ninth Law?"

"Brother Yu, you’re going to undergo your tribulation... We can watch, right? That shouldn’t be a problem?" Dongfang Yao asked, blinking as she looked at Chen Yu.

"What’s the big deal? As long as you don’t get too close, it’s fine," Chen Yu said with a smile.

Then, with a light wave of his hand, a spatio-temporal rift appeared before him.

"Let’s go," Chen Yu said, stepping into the rift. Feng Miaotian and the others followed close behind, entering it as well.

...

Traveling through spacetime, in the blink of an eye, the four of them arrived in the Cosmic Deep Space.

Star systems flowed in the distance. Here, within a radius of five hundred light-years, there were no life-bearing planets.

It was a good place to undergo a tribulation.

After landing on a desolate star, Chen Yu informed the other three and then proceeded into the depths of space.

He released his aura, and in an instant, a terrifying might descended upon the silent Cosmic Deep Space!
