Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2071: 2071: Drawing In Allies

The Blood of the Heavens has been offered as a sacrifice.

His entire world-shaking Cultivation was transferred to Chu Yuan, while all the energy he surrendered was poured into the empire, forging an even more formidable power.

While Chu Yuan must forge the world himself, this stolen power could push the empire to its absolute zenith, stabilizing its foundations.

Chu Yuan sensed a massive surge in his own strength with every celestial being he devoured.

The Blood of the Heavens, in particular, served as an extraordinary supplement of vast power; he felt his personal strength leap forward, bypassing what would have traditionally required billions of years of arduous Cultivation.

Indeed, the most efficient path of Cultivation is the consumption of celestial beings, plundering every drop of their power for oneself.

Chu Yuan existed in a singular state, aiming to become the supreme heavenly being—the very heaven that stands above all other celestials.

This is the true rank of a celestial sovereign, a position where all the heavens must submit to his decrees.

Deep within the empire.

In the span of an eternal instant, one moment followed another.

Following the sacrifice of the Blood of the Heavens, this massive energy enabled the empire's powerhouses—such as Tumeng, Immortal, Universe, and Poison Ancestor, who were already famous on the eternal path—to successfully reach the eternal emperor realm.

Furthermore, a vast multitude of monarchs achieved their own breakthroughs.

Consider the nobility of a celestial being; if such a being is entirely refined, the resulting boost is nearly impossible to calculate.

“This is the true power of the Blood of the Heavens!”

Hulu, a prominent expert within the empire, also reaped massive rewards as the celestial power was funneled into him, sparking a major transformation.

He understood that if the Emperor continued this path of slaughter, there was a significant chance he could become a celestial himself.

“Chu Yuan has already finished the Blood of the Heavens.”

Yanran looked toward the Celestial Realm. The Blood Domain had been wiped away; the curtain had fallen, and the fires of total war had been lit.

At that same moment, Chu Yuan made his return to the empire.

Boom!

The Celestial Realm trembled violently at that instant, reeling from the impact.

Three celestial beings had perished in rapid succession; such a rate of death was completely unheard of outside the eras of great celestial wars.

And every single fall was linked to one man.

The Blood of the Heavens was no minor celestial, and his destruction sent even greater shockwaves through the realms.

“The Blood of the Heavens has been struck down! It was the Divine Martial Emperor, that newly risen celestial, who took his life!”

“A new celestial possesses the strength to kill the Blood of the Heavens? Just how terrifying is he? It isn't that the Blood of the Heavens was weak, but that his power is simply too overwhelming!”

“What are his true intentions?”

The consciousnesses of the various celestials collided in confusion.

The Celestial Realm had lost its peace; Chu Yuan’s deeds had shattered a stalemate that lasted for ages, as an invincible figure flaunted his power and ruthless ambition.

“He kills celestials to sacrifice them. Each time one falls, his strength expands. If this continues and he slays every celestial, his power will reach a peak that no one can rival!”

As they speculated on his goals, every celestial felt a sense of dread; someone intended to consume all the heavens to build a singular, dominating empire.

His resolve appeared even more cold-blooded than that of the King of Celestials.

In truth, every celestial has likely dreamed of devouring all the heavens, but reality dictates that anyone who tries will be hunted by all others. No one could survive that cost.

Yet now, a man has dared to try.

“Does he believe he is the King of Celestials, already invincible among the heavens? Even the King of Celestials was toppled by our combined might; his path will surely end in his destruction!”

“His ability to slay the Blood of the Heavens proves his strength is exceptionally high.”

Though many celestials now recognize Chu Yuan’s hunger for power, each celestial remains an independent force. Given his current strength, they cannot immediately coordinate a unified response.

One thing was certain: the Divine Martial Emperor was now etched into the minds of every celestial being.

“Now that the Blood of the Heavens is dead, the other celestials will keep their eyes on me. Some may already be plotting the destruction of my heaven, but I will not slow my pace.”

Chu Yuan spoke these words upon his return to the empire.

“The minds of the celestials are in conflict, Chu Yuan. They won't permit the rise of another figure like the King of Celestials and will take measures against you.”

Yanran remarked.

The execution of the Blood of the Heavens had truly stirred a massive hornet’s nest.

“I am aware,” Chu Yuan replied dismissively. “But Yanran, isn't this a necessary path to take?”

“It is. Divinity, demons, monsters, hell, evil, law, martial, thunder, light, primordial—though they rarely agree, that is only relative. Once a shared threat appears, they will unite to strike the Divine Martial Empire. Celestials are the heavens themselves; if they fail, they vanish like smoke.”

Yanran continued: “They haven't moved yet because the combined power of you and I is too intimidating, making them cautious. But this hesitation won't last forever.”

“I see everything clearly, and I have noticed something else as well.”

Chu Yuan mused for a moment before saying: “The truth is, those peak celestials are also tired of the status quo. They won't move against me immediately as I break this deadlock; instead, they have their own agendas.”

“I understand. Everyone wants to absorb other celestials to grow stronger. In the current Celestial Realm, celestials are the highest authority, but it has remained stagnant. Anyone who tried to change it was ganged up on. But you, Chu Yuan, have broken the stalemate and muddied the waters.”

Both Chu Yuan and Yanran were wise enough to see the hidden truth.

Despite Chu Yuan's shocking feats, the strongest celestials were busy with their own plots.

They want to use Chu Yuan as the primary target so that when war breaks out, all attention is on him. Then, they will make their move, devouring the weaker and average celestials for themselves.

They used to fear that anyone attempting this would be attacked.

But with Chu Yuan acting as a lightning rod, those rules no longer apply.

“Yanran, I see it. This is a very likely outcome.”

Chu Yuan went on: “Once I start the fires of war in the Celestial Realm, the ancient, powerful celestials will use the chaos to expand, swallowing the lesser heavens. In the end, only a few mighty celestial territories will remain, the weak will be gone, and then they will turn their blades toward me.”

One cannot underestimate those beings; they are experts at grabbing opportunities, allowing them to finally do what they have desired for eons.

“Your assessment is accurate,” Yanran agreed.

“However, regardless of their plans, we will be the center of attention after this move. Whether things go as you say or not, war is coming, and the enemies will be incredibly powerful.”

“Everything is proceeding as I expected,” Chu Yuan stated.

“Chu Yuan, not every celestial will be an enemy. I believe there are some we can bring to our side, making them a part of the Divine Martial Empire.”

Yanran suggested.
