Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2067: 2067: Opening the Gates of War

Chu Yuan has finally decided to mobilize.

He is aware that persisting with a slow, steady Cultivation pace will no longer yield significant results.

While he is advancing, it is impossible to assume his rivals are standing still.

The Cultivation of the heavens lacks a realm beyond the current peak; instead, progress is measured by the persistent tempering of one's will and the expansion of the heavenly realm. Without this, there is no path forward.

Those ancient celestial beings have been refining their power and accumulating resources since the era of the Celestial King, even receiving direct lessons from the Celestial King himself. How could Chu Yuan’s gradual progress ever hope to match their vast history?

Under these circumstances, he has only one path: he must seize what he needs.

Why do certain ancient powerhouses go to such lengths to cultivate their subordinates into minor celestial beings?

It is because every additional minor celestial being serves to significantly bolster their own will and the strength of their heavenly realm.

Since they are currently unable to freely annex other celestial realms, they are forced to rely on this strategy.

If Chu Yuan intends to keep growing and eventually dominate the heavens, the cultivation of minor celestial beings must go on, and the strategy of annexing other celestial realms must be accelerated.

The act of absorbing a celestial realm would provide him with an immense boost.

He intends to shatter the current deadlock through a display of absolute, invincible spirit.

“Chu Yuan, you are making your move.”

Yanran observed Chu Yuan, who had already gripped the Divine Martial Sword, and spoke:

This single action signaled the official commencement of the war.

“Indeed, I am acting now. On this occasion, I will employ the swiftest tactics to annihilate a celestial being before anyone else can respond. I have already identified my target: the Blood Celestial!”

Chu Yuan is targeting the Blood Celestial!

While the Blood Celestial may not be the highest-ranking celestial, his stubborn resilience is equal to any top-tier powerhouse.

He possesses the latent potential to ascend to the rank of a top celestial.

Chu Yuan will deny him that opportunity, choosing instead to use him as a sacrificial offering.

Understanding Chu Yuan’s logic, Yanran remarked, “The Blood Celestial is a vast sea of blood and notoriously difficult to slay. However, Chu Yuan, if you manage to refine his Blood Domain, you will secure a massive advantage!”

“Wait for my victory.”

Chu Yuan locked his senses onto the Blood Domain. With a single stride, he could teleport directly into that realm.

The Blood Domain is truly massive. Looking through the world barrier, one can see an endless, expanding world consisting of a vast sea of blood.

Every surging wave of that crimson sea roars with the purest energy.

Countless blood creatures reside within the depths of the Blood Domain.

The Blood Celestial has the power to transform others into blood to fill his world. During the previous celestial wars, he plotted against several wounded celestial beings, melting them down to nourish his Blood Domain.

Suddenly, the Blood Celestial was struck by a sense of dread, an omen of approaching ruin.

He scanned his surroundings sharply.

Outside the Blood Domain, a majestic figure appeared. With a sword in hand, this figure shattered the world barrier and, with a single strike, cleaved open the Blood Domain to descend inside.

“Divine Martial, it is you! How dare you violate my heavenly Blood Domain!”

The Blood Celestial finally realized the source of his unease.

Upon seeing Chu Yuan, he was consumed by rage. This man had forcibly breached his world—a blatant act of aggression and a total disregard for his status, signaling an intent for total war.

Furthermore, the situation was no longer what it once was.

He was now a celestial himself, standing on equal footing with Chu Yuan!

Despite his fury, he could not ignore the raw power Chu Yuan displayed by shattering the world barrier so easily.

Against a fellow celestial, summoning mere power imprints was useless; the Blood Celestial’s true form manifested, his crimson eyes fixed on Chu Yuan as he tried to gauge his opponent's strength.

Even before reaching the celestial rank, Chu Yuan had the power to sacrifice the Malevolent Celestial.

When the Sun and Moon Celestial were sacrificed previously, the Reincarnation Celestial had been present, but Chu Yuan had dealt with the Malevolent Celestial on his own.

Now that he had officially become a celestial, how terrifying had his strength become?

As he looked on, the aura emanating from his opponent suggested invincibility and a will that completely suppressed his own.

“Divine Martial, what is your purpose here?”

The Blood Celestial demanded an answer.

Chu Yuan’s only response was silence. He gestured with his hand, causing the very fabric of heaven and earth to splinter. A sacrificial altar materialized, emitting a powerful, sweeping light of sacrifice.

“You intend to sacrifice me!”

The Blood Celestial was livid.

Was this man truly so insane to think he could sacrifice him so easily? Did he really believe that becoming a celestial made him so unstoppable that no one could stand in his way?

“Blood, you shall be the first celestial being I execute and sacrifice since my ascension. Every bit of your power and your eons of accumulation will become mine.”

Chu Yuan spoke with total dominance, his presence seemingly swallowing the heavens.

His momentum was even greater than that of the Blood Celestial, like an emperor standing above all others.

“Then I suppose it would be my honor.”

The Blood Celestial fought back his rage as the sea of blood churned. He said coldly, “Do you honestly believe sacrificing me is so simple? By entering my Blood Domain, you have placed yourself in the most perilous position. I know you have recently become a celestial and are filled with arrogance. If you depart now, I will overlook this, but if we fight, it will only result in mutual destruction.”

Even with such a provocation, the Blood Celestial hoped to avoid a direct confrontation with Chu Yuan.

He recognized the immense power Chu Yuan held; a true battle would leave him severely drained.

To him, the price was too high.

He was willing to endure the insult of a fellow celestial to avoid it.

At that moment, he gathered his strength to its absolute peak. Within the Blood Domain, his power was nearly limitless, and he used it to push back against Divine Martial’s aura, hoping to force a retreat.

He didn't truly believe Chu Yuan could sacrifice him; he suspected the man was merely there to test his new powers.

“Since I have arrived, I have no intention of leaving!”

Chu Yuan stomped his foot, sending tremors through the entire Blood Domain.

The Blood Domain had to be sacrificed.

Sacrificing this realm would provide a boost that the Sun, Moon, and Malevolent Realms combined couldn't match. It would be a massive aid to his cause.

If he intended to spark the fires of war across the heavens, how could he do so without possessing overwhelming, invincible power?

“Divine Martial, do not push me! Do not force me to fight you!”

The Blood Celestial’s anger was reaching a breaking point.

Yet he remained wary, wondering if Reincarnation would join the fray. If she interfered, he would have no hope of standing against both of them.

“You wish to start a heavenly conflict? Fine. Since you are so stubborn, I will meet you in battle. Do you think I am afraid of you?”

The Blood Celestial possessed his own intense pride.

Since words could resolve nothing, only combat remained.

“Within the Blood Domain, I am supreme. Let us see exactly how much strength you have!”

The Blood Celestial launched his attack, his celestial will crashing down upon Chu Yuan. With a flick of his sleeve, a massive celestial force summoned the sea of blood to swallow Chu Yuan whole.

“Transform into blood!”

The Blood Celestial struck with lethal intent.

The power of blood-transformation surged toward Chu Yuan, seeking to turn his very essence into energy for the Blood Domain.

However, few who survived the great celestial wars were without their own secret techniques.

As Chu Yuan stood his ground, the sea of blood roared and surged toward him, yet it could not even get close to his person.

At that moment, the Blood Celestial felt a wave of unease. His blood-transformation power was a form of willpower suppression; it should have affected anyone weaker than himself.

However.

He realized his transformation technique was having no effect whatsoever.

That could only mean one thing: Chu Yuan’s willpower was not just equal to his, but significantly stronger!
