Chapter 498 Time Acceleration, Physical Body Breakthrough

"When do we act?"

Chen Yu discreetly accepted the Heavenly Dragon Fruit and asked the Empress.

Seeing Chen Yu put away the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, a smile appeared on the Empress’s face. "There’s no rush. We wait three days. By then, the sealing Barrier’s power will have weakened to its absolute nadir, and we’ll have a chance to take it down in one fell swoop."

"Three days..."

Hearing this, Chen Yu nodded.

He had plenty of time.

More time to prepare was, of course, for the best.

"Grand Elder, please escort Fellow Daoist Chen to rest. In three days, I will notify you, and we will act on schedule," the Empress said.

The Grand Elder nodded. Chen Yu had no objections, so he rose and left the grand hall with the Grand Elder.

Watching Chen Yu’s departing figure, the Empress leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples with both hands.

’My husband, this time... it should succeed, right...?’

The Empress murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on the depths of the void, her thoughts a mystery.

——

In Angel City, at a mountain villa, the Grand Elder brought Chen Yu to the entrance.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how is this place? If you are not satisfied, I can arrange for a different one."

Chen Yu glanced around. The environment was quiet and secluded, and the Spiritual Qi was abundant.

Looking at the Grand Elder, he said, "Don’t trouble yourself. This will be fine."

He wasn’t that picky about temporary accommodations.

Anywhere would do.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder smiled. "Very well. Please rest here, Fellow Daoist. I will return in three days."

"Mm," Chen Yu nodded. The Grand Elder said no more, casually tearing open the void and vanishing before Chen Yu’s eyes.

Watching the Grand Elder leave, Chen Yu entered the mountain villa.

In the living room, sitting on the sofa, Chen Yu opened his palm. The watermelon-sized Heavenly Dragon Fruit appeared in his hand.

The fruit radiated a golden light, with wisps of dragon-shaped energy coiling around it, like miniature true dragons.

’The energy is immense. I wonder how much it will improve my physical body...’

Gazing at the Heavenly Dragon Fruit before him, Chen Yu promptly vanished from the living room.

In the next instant, he appeared in the center of his Divine Kingdom.

He sat cross-legged in the void, the Heavenly Dragon Fruit floating before him.

’Three days isn’t enough time to refine this Heavenly Dragon Fruit. It seems I have no choice but to accelerate time.’

As he stared at the fruit, a fluctuation emanated from within him in the next second.

An invisible Barrier, a hundred li in radius, formed in an instant!

The entire world within that hundred-li radius was enveloped by the Barrier.

Behind him, the Time Law manifested, bursting forth with a silvery-white brilliance.

BUZZ!!!

Activating the Time Law, the silvery-white light instantly illuminated the Barrier.

Chen Yu activated the Time Law, directly initiating a tenfold time flow acceleration.

Three days would pass outside the Barrier, but within it, a full thirty days would elapse.

Having activated the Time Barrier, Chen Yu immediately swallowed the Heavenly Dragon Fruit in one gulp.

ROAR!!!

As the fruit entered his stomach, a deafening dragon’s roar erupted from within his body.

The Heavenly Dragon Fruit, a Cosmic Divine Medicine!

It could grant a powerful boost even to the physical body of a True God.

A dazzling golden light erupted from his skin, making him shine like a great sun hanging in the sky.

Dragon roars echoed continuously as streams of dragon-shaped energy coursed through his physical body.

As he began to absorb the Heavenly Dragon Fruit’s power, his body inflated like a balloon, instantly swelling to a height of a hundred zhang!

A dazzling golden light swept out.

At that moment, his physical body was undergoing a tremendous transformation.

His flesh and blood nearly tore apart, only to be quickly reformed by the power of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit.

His strength climbed at an astonishing rate.

His True God Body developed a series of shocking cracks, like a parched landscape. But strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

The cracks spread all over his body, making him look like a piece of shattered porcelain.

But just as quickly, the cracks all over his body healed in an instant.

However, less than ten breaths later, the healed cracks reappeared.

His physical body felt as if it were being stretched to its absolute limit.

Tearing, healing!

But Chen Yu paid this no mind.

The fact that his body was reacting so violently only proved the power of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit as a Divine Medicine.

His strength soared as the fruit’s power was absorbed bit by bit.

His physical body was constantly transforming.

’Huh? The Power Law is strengthening too!’

Soon, Chen Yu noticed something was amiss.

Not only was his strength climbing and his body growing stronger, but his Power Law was also expanding.

’I almost forgot, the Heavenly Dragon Fruit also seems to contain a cosmic source of power.’

Suddenly, Chen Yu seemed to recall something. He quickly calmed down and quietly focused on absorbing the Heavenly Dragon Fruit.

——

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Time Barrier in the void of the Divine Kingdom, three days had passed on the outside, but a full thirty days had gone by inside.

In those thirty days, Chen Yu’s physical body had returned to its normal state.

Yet, an invisible force radiated from his body, so potent that it distorted the surrounding space-time.

To be able to warp space-time with physical strength alone was a testament to the terrifying power his body now possessed.

The golden light dissipated, and Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes.

The aura around him stabilized in an instant, and the distorted space-time returned to normal.

Standing up, Chen Yu clenched his fists, feeling the changes in his physical body.

’As expected of the number one physical-enhancement Divine Medicine in the cosmos. Its effects are truly unparalleled!’

With power surging through him, Chen Yu felt that the enhancement to his body was even greater than what he’d gained from undergoing his Divine Tribulation.

Before, his physical body was only comparable to that of a Tier Three or Tier Four True God. Now, it was at least comparable to a Tier Five True God.

His physical body had been massively enhanced!

With this enhanced body, combined with his boundless Divine Power, he could unleash even more astonishing strength.

While it wasn’t a monumental leap, the improvement was still significant.

’There are still two more Heavenly Dragon Fruits waiting for me once the agreement is fulfilled...’

’At that point, I can strengthen my body twice more. And if I complete the harvest of the remaining Source of Life, my physical body might even reach a level comparable to a Tier Seven True God...’

The thought flashed through his mind. Chen Yu then dispelled the Time Barrier and stepped out of his Divine Kingdom.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Empress has sent word. We can go now."

He had just emerged when the Grand Elder’s voice came from outside the villa.

Chen Yu looked at the Grand Elder outside, nodded, and left the villa.

"Hm? Fellow Daoist Chen, have you already refined the Heavenly Dragon Fruit?"

Surprise flickered across the Grand Elder’s face when he saw Chen Yu appear.

Chen Yu didn’t hide it and nodded in acknowledgment.

With the Grand Elder of the Angel Race’s cultivation, he could tell something was different at a glance. There was no point in hiding it.

Seeing Chen Yu’s confirmation, the Grand Elder chuckled. "The Heavenly Dragon Fruit... even a Tier Three True God would normally take several months to refine it. Fellow Daoist Chen, your talent is truly extraordinary!"

Chen Yu smiled faintly. "Grand Elder, you flatter me. It still took me a month to refine it; I just used time acceleration."

’Time acceleration... His proficiency with the Time Law has already reached such a level?!’

’A Tier Two True God who can accelerate time tenfold... What kind of monster is this guy?!’

’Is he really from the Human Race?’
