Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2060: The Great Change Through the Ages
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Chu Yuan suppressed the Wretched Heaven, forcing it into the Sacrificial Altar.
Every shred of its energy was offered as a sacrifice to Chu Yuan and the Eternal Kingdom. This moved the entire empire to a higher state of existence, a grand ascension from the realm of mortals to that of gods.
Having seized the essence of the Wretched Heaven, Chu Yuan’s power reached a point of overflow, allowing him to take that final, decisive step at any moment.
His current realm could no longer be labeled as semi-heaven; he was now a quasi-heaven. No obstacles remained; he merely awaited the right second to break through.
Two supreme heavens had served as the foundation for his path toward becoming a Heaven.
"Source of Evil."
With a simple motion of his hand, the Source of Evil drifted before Chu Yuan.
This Supreme Divine Artifact was saturated with terrifying malice. Any ordinary Heavenly Emperor attempting to wield it would perish from the immediate backlash, yet Chu Yuan did not intend to destroy the item. Instead, he decided to keep it.
"Evil will exist as long as there are living souls; it is a force that must be released. I shall establish the Source of Evil within my empire to drink in endless malice, transforming it into the true origin of all evil."
Chu Yuan swallowed the artifact into his own space with a surge of power.
He was also well aware of the current situation.
Launching a surprise raid on other heavens was no longer a viable option.
The other heavens would quickly sense the demise of the Wretched Heaven. His existence would be revealed to all, and every power would become vigilant against him.
Now that they were on guard, the same tactics used to trap the Wretched Heaven would fail.
Of course.
This did not trouble him.
He planned to immediately ascend to heavenly power. Once he reached the level of Heaven, his strength would undergo an incomparable transformation.
When that time arrived, he would simply crush his enemies with absolute dominance.
At the same time.
Yanran found herself encircled by the combined forces of many heavens. They had hemmed her in completely, weaving a net meant to destroy her, leaving her with no path to survival.
"Reincarnation Heaven, your era has reached its end!"
Every heaven present viewed Reincarnation Heaven with extreme caution.
"The beginning of the primal, the end of the primal!"
The Primordial Heaven unleashed a devastatingly powerful spell. It manifested as a circle representing the duality of birth and death, stretching across the horizon before descending in a fierce assault.
In response, the Reincarnation Divine Light generated a multitude of mirrored surfaces.
As the Primordial Heaven’s strike landed, a strange phenomenon occurred. The power passed straight through the body of Reincarnation Heaven as if she were nothing more than a reflection upon the water.
"The Reincarnation of All Worlds Technique!"
The Primordial Heaven’s brow furrowed in frustration.
The methods of Reincarnation Heaven were notoriously difficult to deal with. Had they not been, everyone would have assumed she was wiped out during the Heaven War.
Yet here she was, standing right before them.
Such is the nature of reincarnation; she appeared immortally invincible, with no known method to truly end her existence.
Furthermore, while her offensive capabilities might not be considered the strongest, that was only in comparison to the brutal might of figures like Martial and Thunder.
"She is utilizing the technique of reincarnation to fashion a private dimension, traversing through her own cycle!"
The Primordial Heaven observed.
"Sea of Blood Boundless!"
A roaring river of blood surged forward, saturated with incredibly refined energy. Countless whirlpools manifested within the tide, each one pulling and absorbing with violent force.
Reincarnation Heaven’s gaze sharpened. She suddenly emerged from her private dimension of reincarnation, lifting her hand to strike with a single motion.
The sea of blood shattered instantly.
"Martial Arts!"
Martial capitalized on the opening, launching a straightforward punch. It was a strike devoid of decoration, yet it held the profound essence of a thousand martial disciplines.
However, as the fist arrived, it was pierced by the Reincarnation Divine Light, rendering the attack useless.
"Too strange!"
Even Martial’s peerless strength found it difficult to make contact with Yanran’s power at this moment.
"This is the power of the Reincarnation Technique!"
Did they truly believe these heavens were hunting her because of the Sun and Moon Heaven's death, or because they thought she served the Heaven’s King?
Nothing is done without the prospect of gain, even among the heavens.
Justice was merely a pretext.
Their actual target was the Reincarnation Technique held by Reincarnation Heaven.
"Indeed, Reincarnation Heaven, you are truly the primary assistant of the Heaven’s King. He cultivated you well, and your Reincarnation Technique is truly deep. However, you should have perished long ago in the Heaven War. Your continued existence is unnecessary!"
An ancient, formidable heaven radiated killing intent, exerting immense pressure on Yanran.
Just as they prepared to resume their assault, a celestial omen of doom suddenly fell upon them.
"A heaven has perished! Another heaven has fallen!"
"Which of the heavens has been lost?"
"The Wretched Heaven! It was he who fell!"
The death of the Wretched Heaven caused the gathered powers to pause in shock at the sudden demise.
"It is him!"
Martial and Thunder were the first to look across space-time. They saw the dominating, invincible form of Chu Yuan standing upon the altar, staring back at them from a distance.
"He has not yet become a heaven, yet he is already a quasi-heaven!"
The aura radiating from Chu Yuan shook the heavens.
Even though the Wretched Heaven was considered mediocre among his peers and looked down upon by the elite, a heaven is still a heaven. They are not easily killed.
Yet, he had been slain by this man’s hands just like that.
This was far more terrifying than even the Reincarnation Heaven.
"Such a thing is unprecedented. Someone has killed a heaven without even being one himself. This is that Divine Martial, the one who consumed the Heavenly Tomb!"
"Reincarnation Heaven is here, providing the opportunity for him to kill the Wretched Heaven!"
"A massive shift in the ancient order... the fact that this man and Reincarnation Heaven appeared together—what could this mean?"
The hearts of the heavens wavered.
Suddenly, from the spot where Chu Yuan stood, a weight beyond measure descended. Martial appeared instantly at Chu Yuan’s side, striking out with a martial blow capable of ending worlds.
"Martial!"
Chu Yuan’s eyes flared with an equally deep desire to kill Martial.
His quasi-heavenly strength erupted as he threw a punch toward the sky, colliding directly with Martial.
The impact of that punch was like a world-shaking explosion.
Chu Yuan stood tall and firm, refusing to yield against the violent shockwave. He met Martial’s fist head-on.
Martial’s strike was halted.
He could clearly feel that Chu Yuan’s power was vastly superior to their previous encounter; he no longer possessed the absolute strength required to suppress him.
"You are quite an interesting individual!"
Martial’s power was world-shattering, a strike concentrating the essence of countless arts. The supreme martial fist fell from the heavens as his massive divine form pressed forward without hesitation.
"My power is without end!"
Standing atop his altar, Chu Yuan returned the blow with the Sovereign’s punch. It was a strike that dominated the world, crushing all martial divine power in its path.
The result of the clash did not give Chu Yuan the upper hand, but he suffered no disadvantage either.
However, the implications were staggering. His opponent was merely a quasi-heaven, while Martial stood at the ultimate peak of the heavens.
"The presence of Reincarnation and this man bodes ill for the heavenly realm. The quickest and simplest path is to wipe them both out. No anomaly that interferes with the flow of the heavenly realm can be allowed to exist!"
One heaven spoke out; total annihilation was the most efficient solution.
The other heavens raised no objections. They would not permit any disruptions to the established order of the heavenly realm.
"Where did I originate, does this path have a conclusion, and does the sky truly have its limits?"
