Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2006: Heavenly Battlefield, Heavenly Tomb
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Chu Yuan needed only a single step to depart from this domain.
However, as his foot moved, the sky was suddenly veiled by churning dark clouds and a somber, oppressive aura.
A violent surge of energy rushed forward, threatening to swallow Chu Yuan whole, making him feel as though he were adrift in a tempestuous ocean.
Within this aura resided ancient, cryptic, and bizarre elements of decay and negativity.
This was the manifestation of a curse.
It was a resonance echoing from the distant past.
In that fleeting moment, Chu Yuan seemed to witness numerous mighty wills manifesting as smoke, invisible to ordinary sight.
Every one of these wills represented a supreme expert who had perished during the ancient wars of the Heavenly Battlefield.
Even though they had fallen, the lingering curse remained horrifying.
Any soul attempting to flee this place would be ensnared by the curse of these wills, dragged down to be buried alongside them.
"The curse of Heaven."
With a swift motion of his hands, Chu Yuan manifested the Eternal Gate. Radiant, magnificent energy surged forth, painting a scene of epic, legendary proportions.
He had collected many portals in the past, but they had now all been assimilated into this singular Eternal Gate.
Eternity stood for the totality of existence—the pinnacle of all power.
As the curse struck, it appeared to cross the boundaries of dimensions, launching an assault across every level of existence to rot the body and erase the soul without a trace.
Chu Yuan met the curse head-on, ignited the eternal divine fire, and cast a brilliant light across infinite worlds.
A massive devouring force then consumed every shred of the curse.
He surveyed the landscape; though countless masters and divine entities had met their end here, he intended to transform this sacred land into a part of his Eternal Kingdom.
The Emperor’s authority was absolute, exerting control over all things.
"A massive upheaval is occurring within the Heavenly Tomb forbidden zone!"
"Look at that endless darkness—that is the power of the curse! What could have triggered this?"
"Is it possible the will of Heaven seeks to rupture the Heavenly Tomb and ravage the entire Heavenly Battlefield? Their collective will, even after death, is enough to wipe out entire worlds!"
Beyond the immediate horizon, a colossal battlefield came into view, stained with blood and scarred by destruction.
This was the renowned Heavenly Battlefield.
Upon its surface, various life forms of all shapes and sizes could be seen.
They had been scavenging the Heavenly Battlefield, but the tremors from the Heavenly Tomb sent an instinctive shiver through their spirits, signaling that something monstrous was lurking within.
"What is truly happening deep inside the Heavenly Tomb?"
One powerful figure trembled uncontrollably. Despite radiating the aura of a Heavenly King, his voice was thick with terror: "Long ago, the curse within the Heavenly Tomb erupted. The power of Heaven surged out, and many experts within the Heavenly Battlefield were obliterated. It took other divine beings to finally seal the curse away again."
"During the great war of Heaven, a myriad of divine beings died within the Heavenly Tomb. Their reality-warping wills remain, turning it into a dead zone. Even other divine beings avoid it like the plague, fearing the corruption of its negative energy!"
A woman walked toward him and asked, "Gu Xuanhai, can you sense what is going on in there?"
"Ah, it is the King of Glory."
The man known as Gu Xuanhai shook his head in response. "How could I possibly know? That is the Heavenly Tomb, the graveyard of Heaven itself. I may be a king, but compared to the Heavens, I am nothing more than an ant."
"If that curse breaks free completely, perhaps only the Emperor could survive. The rest of us would surely perish!" the King of Glory noted.
It wasn't that they chose not to flee, but the Heavenly Battlefield was simply too vast. With its fractured laws, ruined lands, and a chaotic mess of dimensions and time, there was no escape.
To put it simply, they were trapped, waiting for the end.
Rumble!
The dark aura intensified, coalescing into numerous divine wills that roared and crashed like a descending apocalypse, threatening to shatter the seals of the Heavenly Tomb.
Calamity was at their doorstep; the destructive curse was about to fall once more.
Everyone within the Heavenly Battlefield faced certain death.
A sudden force pierced through the restrictions, reaching into the heart of the battlefield.
"It is over! Heaven’s curse is descending upon us!"
Despair washed over the crowd, their faces turning pale, for they knew the Heavenly Tomb was a realm where only death resided.
However, the expected curse did not strike them.
"What is that?"
Someone pointed toward the distance. A golden path had stretched into the battlefield, and a majestic, divine figure was walking along it.
He carried an overwhelming aura. The terrifying curse lashed out at him, yet it seemed entirely ineffective, shattering and dissipating before it could even brush against him.
"Someone has actually walked out of the Heavenly Tomb!"
"Who can he be? Why is the will of Heaven unable to curse him?"
"He is coming this way!"
Every gaze was fixed upon him.
They could not see his features clearly. He radiated such greatness that merely looking at him made them feel as though he existed in a completely different dimension and time, far beyond their reach.
With a blurred face, he made a shocking exit from the Heavenly Tomb.
This entity transcended the world, paying no mind to their frightened stares.
Chu Yuan had finally emerged, and the cries of the crowd reached his ears.
The Heavenly Tomb. The Heavenly Battlefield.
Utilizing his vast wisdom, he quickly realized that the Heavenly Battlefield was the site of the ancient war of Heaven, while the Heavenly Tomb served as the burial ground for countless elites, including Heaven itself.
The Heavenly Tomb was indeed a land of the dead.
Standing outside, he could feel the heavy seal of Heaven’s curse. Without the will of Heaven, escaping that place would have been an impossible feat.
At that precise moment.
The inhabitants of the Heavenly Battlefield watched him, their minds filled with questions.
Just who was he?
Chu Yuan’s casual glance struck them with the force of a cross-dimensional hammer.
"Could that be... a divine being?"
Such a will and such majesty could only belong to a divine being.
In their awe, some fell to their knees, bowing in worship to this nameless god.
"We pay our respects to the divine!"
The power of Heaven suppressed all, and Chu Yuan’s sheer presence convinced many that a divine being had descended. The phenomena surrounding him were simply too magnificent.
His will truly reached the heights of Heaven.
In the realm of divine beings, each was a legend, usually manifesting only as the world's will. They were known by titles and rarely seen, existing as the ultimate enigmas.
Now, these people believed they were witnessing a true divine being in the flesh.
With just a single look, Chu Yuan had sent a wave of overwhelming shock through their very souls.
Ignoring their veneration, he moved with eternal grace, stepping into his own dimension and vanishing from their sight.
Thus, a mysterious legend was born.
An enigmatic powerhouse, suspected of being a divine entity, had walked out from the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, leaving a lasting legacy behind.
