Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2088: Summoning the Mind
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The gods made their move.
Though he held no concern for the demon's demise, every supreme entity within this exalted heavenly domain served as hurdles and adversaries to him. Still, for them to fall under his strike, it surely must not happen at the Martial Emperor's hands.
Should he eliminate a supreme entity, his power would surge forward in another massive advancement.
The foes' might only amplified their own harsh fate.
Divine energy gloriously surged against the flow of the Chu Yuan epoch, clashing in deadlock with it.
"Save the demon!"
Right then, various powers crashed down, allying with the gods.
These supreme entities too refused to stand by as the demon got cut down by Chu Yuan.
"Excellent!"
The demon spotted a chance, rocketed upward, his fiendish form expanding, unleashing a savage rush. The path of demons shrouded the skies, linking inner and outer assaults, shattering Chu Yuan’s barrier.
Such colossal energies also targeted Chu Yuan at once, vowing to obliterate the cosmos and erase all traces.
Yet Chu Yuan’s face remained utterly serene. Grasping the cosmos in his grip, his power warped, and right when the demon neared escape, with a thunderous boom, it burst apart, morphing into a void of darkness.
Beneath this collision, the demon shattered as well.
The surging Demonic Qi got terrifyingly pulled into the black hole.
"He's consuming my power!"
The demon sensed his core rapidly fading, his spirit weighed down. But he acted with ruthless resolve, chopping off his limb to endure, forsaking a vast portion of his might, and fleeing Chu Yuan’s containment.
In that instant, the mighty assaults from supreme entities struck him, stirring endless tempests, yet Chu Yuan endured unmoved, appearing untouched.
Chu Yuan observed a fragment of the demon’s strength slipping away, his demeanor steady.
His piercing stare scanned the firmament, proclaiming in a tone of utter dominance, "I remain here; which of you dares to face me?"
He was challenging them to clash.
Still, as his declaration echoed, silence gripped the heavens, with none stepping forth to confront Chu Yuan. Through the clash with the demon, he had already displayed his formidable prowess.
Even the god held back from acting now.
"Wu, you've attacked repeatedly; I offer you a shot to duel me."
Chu Yuan straightly summoned Wu.
"Hmph!"
Wu wasn't naive; he understood he couldn't rival this figure at present, so he wouldn't leap out claiming a desire for an even contest.
If equity existed, the conflict among supreme entities would never ignite, with numerous supreme entities banding together against the ruler of the supreme entities.
"Do you lack even the guts to battle me? Still, you aspire to reap rewards in the Third Era."
Chu Yuan’s words boomed wide, bearing down with sheer presence.
"Speak all you want; your role is solely to unlock the Third Era for us, a tribute to access the Fourth Era. In this realm, true equality doesn't exist."
Wu shot back.
Wu, for all his aggression, wouldn't crumble mentally from Chu Yuan’s taunts. Regardless of tactics, triumph remained the ultimate path.
"I look forward to you; ignite the ultimate confrontation. All of you shall serve as offerings for the Fourth Era."
Noting their refusal for one-on-one combat, Chu Yuan uttered just this.
To him, these supreme entities arrayed against him were mere tributes, their realms fueling an immortal epoch of endless harmony.
"You too will claim the throne among supreme entities."
A chilling voice intoned.
"King of the supreme beings" carried no honor, for despite denoting power, it implied defeat, suggesting Chu Yuan’s presence merely cleared the path for the Fourth Era.
"The war of the supreme beings."
The god added his words.
"This shall mark the briefest epoch."
Chu Yuan fell silent after that; it stood as a war cry in the wake of his statement.
"Chu Yuan, the massive clash of the Third Era looms near, yet another war of the supreme beings."
Yanran, upon Chu Yuan's return to the realm, spoke up at once.
This epic showdown unfolded swifter than any had foreseen. Chu Yuan rejected their scripted pace of gradual conquest; his strike on the demon signaled the launch of the grand conflict.
"The epic showdown draws close."
Chu Yuan announced, "I shall conclude it in the briefest span and usher in the Fourth Era."
"Had the gods and the heavens not intervened decisively, the demon faced certain doom!"
Bao, beholding the Emperor’s overwhelming force, praised, "And via this skirmish, they grasped the Emperor’s terror; not even supreme entities could withstand, and across the heavens, likely just one figure can rival the Emperor directly—the god—yet in willpower, the god falls short of the Emperor."
"If the god possessed such a heaven-shaking Emperor, he’d have sparked the Third Era on his own."
Yanran stated sharply, "Let this grand clash erupt; it’ll be a realm-shaking strife devoid of flair, purely a trial of raw power, where mastery of the greatest force claims victory!"
"At present, the supreme entities in the high heaven realm consist of the god, demon, spirit, Wu, thunder, Hell, evil, origin, law, light—these ten pinnacle supreme entities."
Bao broke down the power balance between the factions.
It appeared their alliance truly lagged, boasting only Chu Yuan, Bao, and the Reincarnation as summit-level forces.
In an era-spanning cataclysm like this, a cosmos-shifting fray, lesser supreme entities held scant weight, with solely the apex supreme entities able to sway the result.
This group might lack the numbers in supreme entities.
But Bao recognized they commanded an Emperor whose prowess defied standard prediction or measure.
"The ten supreme beings."
Chu Yuan murmured deliberately.
Certain supreme entities he had clashed with before.
And this "light" stood as a rather unique supreme entity, wielding both supreme radiance and supreme shadow.
He embodied the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness.
"Chu Yuan, they’ve seen you won’t drag things out with them, so with the god leading, these ten supreme entities have convened, plotting the war of the supreme beings, akin to their uprising against the king of the supreme beings."
Yanran declared icily.
"The massive clash of the supreme beings is inevitable, which is exactly why I refuse to stall with them—there’s no point."
Chu Yuan showed no fear.
"Very well, prior to the epic showdown’s start, one more power we could draw to the empire exists: the Supreme Being of the Mind. His beliefs have shattered; I’ll rebuild them for him. His thoughts wander lost; I’ll guide him back to the path."
Chu Yuan stated.
"The Supreme Being of the Mind!" Bao exclaimed in surprise, "The Supreme Being of the Mind ranks among the elite supreme beings; should he align with the empire, it’d bolster our side immensely!"
"Mind will side with us; I understand him. The Fourth Era, the everlasting epoch of imperial oneness—this alone suffices to draw Mind back and fight alongside us."
Yanran expressed firm assurance on this.
"I shall call upon the Supreme Being of the Mind."
Chu Yuan’s command resounded.
"Mind, Mind..."
Parting veils of haze, Chu Yuan located the Supreme Being of the Mind, who now drifted in profound isolation, meandering without direction on a trail, seeking his lost creed.
"Mind, I offer you the creed of the Fourth Era, for the undying epoch, the epoch of oneness..."
Chu Yuan’s brilliant holy radiance bathed the Supreme Being of the Mind, aiding his release from this lost condition.
