Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2005: Main Quest
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Supreme Divine Artifacts are the absolute sovereigns of their kind, possessing exalted attributes and an awe-inspiring majesty that commands all of creation.
As Chu Yuan brandished the Cataclysmic Blade, he felt its terrifying destructive potential. It was as if he held the power of an Emperor’s final judgment over everything under the heavens.
Every Supreme Being is a manifestation of the very will of heaven and earth.
The Cataclysmic Blade was a bounty bestowed upon him by the system.
Furthermore, he understood a fundamental truth: nothing is born from a vacuum. A profound, governing power must exist behind the scenes to orchestrate the system’s profound mysteries.
Wielding the Cataclysmic Blade again, Chu Yuan radiated the divine light of disaster. In a flash, a boundless calamity descended, shredding the horrific storms that dared to approach him.
While this treacherous environment restricts the empire's subjects from exploring the heavens, every situation has two sides.
It is specifically because of these lethal dangers that the realm of the supreme being has remained undisturbed and peaceful.
Naturally, once Chu Yuan deciphers the intricacies of the heavens, he intends to forge a secure path for the citizens of his empire to travel.
"The Eternal Road."
As Chu Yuan advanced, a magnificent and brilliant spectacle unfolded. The path beneath his feet transformed into an Eternal Road, as if the will of a Supreme was carving out a new world from the void.
He had one clear objective: attain the rank of Supreme first, then address other concerns.
The conventional definitions of the Supreme realm no longer applied to him.
His current state was unique; though he had not officially reached the Supreme rank, he already wielded the will of an Eternal Supreme.
He had become eternal, a being that even the Great Cataclysm of heaven and earth could not destroy.
"Ding! A new side quest has been triggered: Achieve Supreme."
The system announced the quest.
The requirement was achievement, not merely a breakthrough.
Chu Yuan stood at the very threshold of the highest Supreme state.
As his Eternal Road widened, his vision pierced through various dimensions. He saw the roaring, malevolent spirits of the deceased, all seeking to pull the living into the depths of extinction.
With a sharp glare, his thoughts sent out a violent tremor that froze the raging storms. Space and time buckled under his might, placing the endless heavens within his grasp.
He reached out with a powerful hand, shattering the sky to expose a hidden malevolent thought. It was a savage, demonic entity from Hell that hungered for souls.
This sinister remnant, a powerful warrior in its past life, lunged at Chu Yuan with instinctive brutality.
Humph!
With a cold look, the malevolent thought was engulfed in the blazing flames of eternal divine fire, vanishing into a distorted void instantly.
Such malevolent thoughts were nearly infinite in number.
They couldn't cause him real damage, but they swarmed like annoying flies, testing Chu Yuan’s patience.
His peerless imperial physique radiated like a perpetual sun, casting light across the infinite realm. His heavenly majesty was overwhelming and beyond challenge.
He activated a cataclysmic technique, sending out waves of force that upended the surroundings. His immense will formed a barrier that no wicked thought could penetrate.
The moment they drew near, they were vaporized.
Despite their numbers and ferocity, these malevolent thoughts were eventually consumed by instinctive dread. They dared not swarm him, suppressed by Chu Yuan’s crushing will.
The world fell silent.
Looking upward, Chu Yuan sensed that the true danger here wasn't the malevolent thoughts, but the lingering grievances left behind by fallen Supremes.
That was the most daunting threat.
Swoosh! A golden path surged forward.
This road extended beyond the boundaries of heaven and earth.
As Chu Yuan walked past the heavens, sensing the edge of the chaotic energies, he stumbled upon a divine corpse.
This body was unlike any he had seen before.
It was a massive giant, regal and dominant, looking like a true Eternal Celestial Emperor draped in eternal laws.
Clad in a majestic purple robe, the figure looked as if it were merely sleeping, showing no signs of external trauma.
However, Chu Yuan could tell the soul had long since shattered, even though its vast power continued to function, drawing in surrounding energy.
"The shell is intact, but the interior has collapsed; every trace of its identity has been wiped away."
Using his mastery over the past, present, and future, Chu Yuan saw that this powerhouse had been ended by an unfathomable force—a single palm strike that obliterated its soul.
What terrifying strength.
A soul-flame burned brightly in Chu Yuan's eyes.
"A level of power nearing the Supreme."
Scanning the area again, Chu Yuan identified several power sources.
This being was just a step away from being a Supreme. But since even true Supremes had fallen here, how could this one have survived?
This body was no longer made of simple flesh; it had become a massive entity of origin energy.
The divine corpse held a staggering amount of energy that could be refined into pure Eternal Origin.
Despite being dead, its pride remained. It emitted waves of intense spiritual pressure to ward off intruders.
"To become a Supreme, one must seize every opportunity."
As Chu Yuan drew close, divine flames erupted around him.
A sudden wave of madness surged.
While the corpse remained still, a giant in purple robes manifested within Chu Yuan’s soul, attempting to drag him into a spiritual abyss.
A battle of wills commenced.
The giant was formidable, its footsteps shaking the foundation of the soul as it struck with near-Supreme force.
Yet Chu Yuan stood as firm as a mountain, unmoving and indomitable.
The aura of the Supreme Divine Artifacts flared as Chu Yuan used the Cataclysmic Blade to establish a territory of disaster.
An eternal river surged, creating a wall of divine retribution in the giant's path.
Chu Yuan countered the giant with his own mental energy.
This spiritual force transcended his current cultivation level, forming an Eternal Kingdom of the soul. An epic, magnificent pressure crushed down upon the giant.
The giant, for all its power, could not hold out against Chu Yuan’s peak intensity. The soul domain shattered.
With the mental realm broken, the divine corpse returned to its silent state.
Chu Yuan reached out with his powerful hand, refining the corpse and transferring its essence into the empire. A sea of energy began to boil and roar within his domain.
A constant rain of energy light began to fall upon the empire.
The citizens celebrated, absorbing the radiant energy day and night to evolve their life force.
With these newfound resources, they could ascend to much higher cultivation realms.
Chu Yuan understood the necessity of taking what was needed. The eternal golden light cleared the way once more, finally reaching the boundary of this zone. With just one more step, he would be free!
