629: Chapter 629 Breakthrough to God Emperor

The environment of Void Ridge seems to have given the chaos crystal energy a second spring!

The energy that had originally completely deteriorated can actually be efficiently absorbed again in this uniquely advantageous environment!

A single chaos crystal can actually increase Physique and Spiritual Power by a full 10,000 points!

And it only takes a few minutes to refine one, with the speed constantly increasing!

Although the magnitude of the increase is still slowly diminishing as attributes increase, compared to before, it has improved significantly!

In just one hour, Chen Yi's attribute points were already on the verge of the God Emperor limit.

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Physique: 1,998,000 points]

[Spiritual Power: 1,999,000 points]

Still 2,000 points short!

Two thousand points—for the Ancient God Rank, this difference in attributes is nothing!

But for the gap between an Ancient God and a God Emperor, it is a chasm!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the dividing line between Mortals and gods!

It is the insurmountable gulf that exists between countless Ancient Gods and God Emperors!

Countless Ancient Gods spend their entire lives stuck at this step!

Yue Wen only managed to cross it by relying on the first place Chen Yi ceded to her and the God Emperors Blessing!

And Chen Yi, without the God Emperors Blessing or external assistance, had to rely on himself!

He closed his eyes and held his breath.

The energy threads were still pouring in, washing over his body, pushing his attributes upward.

1,998,500, 1,999,000, 1,999,500, 1,999,800, 1,999,900, 1...

The last point!

That one point was stuck!

Energy was still pouring in, but his attributes remained motionless!

It was like a door that had been pushed open a crack, but just wouldn't open completely!

"Damn it, is this the threshold between an Ancient God and a God Emperor?"

"I don't believe it, I can't break through!"

Chen Yi gritted his teeth, gathering all the power in his body into a single point, and charged at that invisible barrier!

Once, twice, three times—every time it felt like hitting an iron plate, shaking his blood and Qi, but the barrier didn't move at all.

He remembered the words of the Will of the Heavenly Dao, remembered those questions about rules—

Rules are all set by people!

Since that's the case, then just break it!

"System, give me 1,000 points of enhancement for Physique and Spiritual Power!"

[Ding! Enhancement successful!]

"BOOM!!!"

A terrifying tide of power instantly surged out from his body.

Golden light, Chaos-colored light, seven-colored light—the three colors intertwined and shot into the sky, illuminating the entire mountaintop of Void Ridge!

The chains symbolizing the God Emperor realm finally broke at this moment!

The power of the System directly helped him break through the final threshold!

Both Physique and Spiritual Power broke through the 2 million point mark simultaneously!

The fifth God Emperor of the Void Realm was born!

And the moment Chen Yi broke through to God Emperor, those chaos crystals and energy purple crystals that hadn't been refined yet suddenly erupted with blinding light simultaneously.

As if they had received a summons, they frantically surged toward Chen Yi, merging into his body one by one.

Those crystals that previously required System assistance to refine were now decomposing on their own within his body, turning into the purest energy and merging into every inch of his flesh and blood!

The refinement efficiency had increased several times over compared to before!

However, in terms of attribute improvement, it was negligible!

If the energy required to increase attributes by 10,000 points at the Ancient God stage could fill a lake, then at the God Emperor stage, the energy required to increase attributes by 1,000 points could fill an ocean!

The gap was simply too vast!

No wonder someone like City Lord Di Wushuang, who possessed endless wealth, didn't seem much stronger than Nolan!

Because that much wealth simply couldn't improve him much!

And what kind of concept it was for Alke to have raised his attributes to the 2.8 million level, no one dared to imagine!

However, now is not the time to think about such things!

Must continue to Cultivate!

Chen Yi took out all the chaos crystals and energy purple crystals he had inherited from the Bank and continued to absorb them.

Although the improvement wasn't much, it was still an improvement!

It would at least increase his chances of winning!

Time ticked by second by second.

The energy currents of Void Ridge surged around him, and red-gold light enveloped him.

His aura was climbing steadily—not fast, but very stable.

Finally, another two and a half hours passed.

All the Cultivation resources on his person were completely exhausted.

Nine hundred chaos crystals, not a single drop left!

Chen Yi opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

Too exhausting!

Too expensive!

He pulled up the System panel.

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Rank: Tier 15 (God Emperor)]

[Physique: 2,056,000 points]

[Spiritual Power: 2,061,000 points]

[Enhancement Points: 65,000 points]

Nearly ninety thousand energy purple crystals, and it only increased from 2 million to 2.05 million!

You have to realize, these energy purple crystals were probably enough for billions of Evil Thought Entity in the Void Realm to live a wealthy life for thousands of years, yet they only increased his attributes by this much—

It's truly absurd!

Just as Chen Yi wanted to complain about something, he suddenly sensed an anomaly at the foot of Void Ridge!

It wasn't an energy fluctuation, nor a spatial tremor, but a disturbance on the level of the Law!

It was as if someone was forcibly tearing apart the Laws of the Void Realm!

And that aura, he was too familiar with it!

It was precisely Alke!

At this moment, a faint silver-white light shone on the tombstone again.

The voice of the Will of the Heavenly Dao sounded again.

"I would really like to see what kind of choice you will make—"

Hearing this, Chen Yi rolled his eyes again.

He really couldn't understand these people; why did they have to be so cryptic?

Wouldn't it be better to just speak plainly?

But now was clearly not the time to complain about that!

Alke had already arrived, and Nolan and City Lord Di Wushuang had likely already been defeated!

From here on out, he had to rely on himself!

Without another word, he jumped straight down from the mountaintop and charged toward the foot of the mountain.

The mountaintop of Void Ridge returned to silence at this moment.

The tombstone stood there alone, its silver-white light flickering slightly.

Then, a phantom gradually emerged from the tombstone.

It was the figure of a man with black hair, black eyes, a white robe, and handsome features!

If anyone else were here, they would surely discover that this person looked exactly like Chen Yi!

But his temperament was different—more steady, more profound, more like a king who had weathered countless years!

It was Chen Yu himself!

His phantom looked out into the distance, watching the direction in which Chen Yi had disappeared, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"He really didn't disappoint me! No, I could even say, he exceeded my expectations!"

The voice of the Will of the Heavenly Dao came again.

"Chen Yu, what do you think choice he will make?"

Chen Yu was silent for a moment.

Then, he smiled.

"Regardless of what choice he makes, I trust him. He can truly bring a future to this world!"

"He doesn't need to walk my old path; he only needs to walk his own path. I believe in him!"

The world will did not answer.

The light on the tombstone slowly dimmed.
