Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2004: Chaos
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Vast storms surged continuously, resembling billions of colossal waves crashing against his form.
Each surge carried the force of world-ending destruction, capable of pulverizing laws and annihilating divine bodies; it was a wasteland where no life could endure.
Chu Yuan extended his will, yet he met fierce resistance within the swirling fury.
Locking onto a specific path, he strolled with composure, walking through the heavens as if on a leisurely trek.
He could perceive that the spiritual will here was incredibly intricate, woven together like a tangled net. This led him to hypothesize that more than a single deity had perished in this location.
There were likely many more.
War always entails slaughter and death.
Even though the heavens are mighty, they are not deathless, just as the firmament itself is not immune to ruin.
"Hmm?"
While walking, Chu Yuan peered into the distance and spotted a figure. However, this individual was not among the living; they were a corpse, drifting horizontally within the gale.
One must realize that the chaotic tempests here were violent enough to shred even the most powerful experts of the Eternal Path.
That this divine body remained whole was a testament to the immense power the person wielded during their lifetime.
He approached to inspect the fallen warrior.
The figure was dressed in armor, though the plate was shattered. It was a genuine Divine Artifact, now soaked in blood, and the corpse underneath was riddled with grievous wounds.
"His cultivation realm."
Chu Yuan took a brief look.
The man was not a deity, yet Chu Yuan sensed the lingering will of a Heaven’s Sovereign within him, akin to an eternal celestial being.
This did not startle him.
Although he had not witnessed the Divine War personally, he could infer that the conflict had consumed the entire heavenly realm. It involved not only the deities but also countless powerful subordinates who were dragged into the fray.
The clashes between deities were essentially wars between two different eternal domains.
In such battles, the loss of life was limitless.
The fall of a single deity would result in the burial of countless souls alongside them.
Suddenly, a high-pitched sound wave sliced through the air. It was eerie and malevolent—a strange force that could fracture souls, echoing with a shattering resonance inside the mind.
A massive torrent of blood came rushing forward.
Within that crimson river, a horrifying will surged and contorted, manifesting as a blood-colored silhouette. It looked like a ravenous demon king as it lunged toward Chu Yuan.
This was the manifestation of soul power.
Chu Yuan could see that this blood-colored shadow was the remnant soul of a once-mighty entity that had died here. Its sheer strength had allowed its undying will to persist, haunting this place.
The bloody shadow lunged, attempting to consume his soul.
"Interesting."
As the entity attacked, Chu Yuan’s aura shifted into a shadow that eclipsed the blood-colored specter. With a swift movement of his hand, he crushed it into nothingness.
He did not pause, continuing his journey forward.
Throughout his trek, he was met with repeated strikes from ghostly wills.
This region was far too hazardous.
At every turn, he endured blunt forces resembling sledgehammers and a never-ending barrage of soul attacks.
Without absolute, overwhelming power, escaping this place would be an impossible dream.
He transmitted some of this data back to the Eternal Kingdom so the citizens of his empire could gain more knowledge.
Once more, the cycle repeated.
Various lingering wills seemed to catch the scent of Chu Yuan’s divine life aura and pounced relentlessly.
These spirits took many shapes, ranging from humanoids to monstrous beasts. They allowed him no time to rest, attacking in a tireless, infinite stream.
Regardless of their form, no weak soul could survive in this environment.
Ordinary experts would have no hope of survival here.
A gigantic demonic silhouette charged at him, radiating terrifying demonic Qi. It was a supreme true demon, a sovereign among its kind.
Even as a mere demonic soul, it formed a towering shadow over Chu Yuan, trying to gulp him down in a single bite.
"How can there be so many monstrous entities outside the eternal realm!"
"That terrifying demon soul is so strong that even the mightiest would be devoured instantly!"
"Only an Emperor possesses the strength to find a way out of here."
The powerful experts of the Empire watched as their Emperor navigated the wasteland. Though they remained within the Eternal Kingdom, their prayers crossed the heavens, fusing with the national destiny to reach Chu Yuan.
Such was the might of faith and prayer.
Every deity functioned as a Sovereign of the world, a supreme god worshipped by millions of devotees.
As the demonic shadow struck, Chu Yuan swung his hand. His palm felt as heavy as Mount Tai crashing down, and with that single grab, the demonic soul disintegrated.
The chaotic storm had turned a deep, ocean-like shade when a powerful figure suddenly stepped out from the gloom.
This body was draped in various laws, emitting a majestic pressure known as the King of Heavens.
Chu Yuan observed the figure, realizing this corpse belonged to a lord of the heavenly realm—a warrior truly worthy of the title of king.
"This is likely a graveyard for the powerful. Too many have fallen, and their conflicting laws of power have woven together to create this impenetrable chaos."
Chu Yuan had begun to see the truth of the situation.
Even though the area was shrouded in endless energy, his eternal divine sight possessed the power to scan all realms. He suspected that several deities had met their end here.
The collective deaths of multiple deities and numerous experts had transformed this place into a heavenly mourning ground.
Here, one could find not only spiritual wills but also indestructible divine bodies.
Those who could leave behind such enduring corpses were undoubtedly famous supreme beings.
"Very interesting."
Chu Yuan now desired to uncover the exact details of the Divine War, as it was deeply connected to his mysterious system.
Boom! This formerly invincible warrior gripped his shattered divine weapon. The sound resonated like thunder across the heavens as he swung at Chu Yuan.
The strike triggered massive shockwaves.
Crushing power closed in from every direction. The intensity of the attack was so great that the strike was the only thing visible; everything else lost its color.
Simultaneously, a powerful mental assault pierced toward Chu Yuan’s soul.
Having perished himself, the corpse's intense resentment sought to pull Chu Yuan into the grave with him.
"Blade of Calamity."
Chu Yuan focused his mind, and the Blade of Calamity manifested.
With its appearance, lightning crackled and thunder boomed. The world seemed to buckle as terrifying visions of disaster appeared to all living things.
When the Blade of Calamity struck the divine corpse, it unleashed the destruction of a dying universe.
The power of calamity pierced the body directly. The divine corpse, which even the chaotic storms could not mar, became as fragile as glass before the Blade of Calamity.
Chu Yuan tore the divine body apart instantly.
As the corpse shattered, Chu Yuan used his supreme power to transfer the remains into the Eternal Kingdom. There, the surging energy was refined into eternal source energy.
Every powerful expert contained boundless origin energy, serving as the ultimate tonic for his Eternal Kingdom.
The performance of the Blade of Calamity was satisfying; as a Supreme Divine Artifact, its power was truly limitless!
