Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2007 - 2707: Evil Realm, Blackcloud Heavenly Lord [4 Updates]
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Upon exiting the Heavenly Tomb, Chu Yuan set foot onto the Heavenly Battlefield.
Technically, the Heavenly Tomb is a sub-region of the Heavenly Battlefield, yet its extreme perils prevent many powerful warriors from ever venturing inside.
The Heavenly Battlefield itself, however, is significantly less lethal.
The scenery before Chu Yuan shifted away from the atmosphere of the Heavenly Tomb.
While turbulence and tearing storms still ravage the Heavenly Battlefield, they lack the same ferocity. Even standard eternal-level entities can endure and explore here, and despite the lingering dangers, they often encounter opportunities to obtain magnificent fortunes.
The War of the Heavens had once erupted here into a monumental, world-shattering conflict.
As Chu Yuan’s consciousness swept across the landscape, he observed a fair number of people scattered throughout the Heavenly Battlefield.
He journeyed through the area, noting that scars from ancient combat were visible everywhere. This place was a genuine world, yet it remained in a state of chaotic disarray and boundless ruin.
"The time of the Heavens."
Chu Yuan perceived the peculiar nature of time in this realm, which felt as though it were suspended in an eternal, stagnant state.
This did not shock him; time is a concept both tangible and illusory, perceived only through environmental shifts and the presence of reference points.
Though Chu Yuan was aware of the numerous treasures hidden within the Heavenly Battlefield, he had no intention of lingering. His goal was to advance toward the true heavens and earth.
With a single stride, he crossed through infinite time and space.
Boom!
Abruptly, the fabric of space-time fractured, triggering a massive collapse of the heavens and earth. A void opened up, threatening to swallow everything into a bottomless abyss from which there was no return.
However, Chu Yuan remained eternal and indestructible, standing completely unshaken by the disaster.
"The might of the Heavens and the clashes of countless powerful warriors have left time and space unstable," Chu Yuan remarked.
While ordinary cultivators in the Heavenly Battlefield must proceed with extreme caution, Chu Yuan was unconcerned. He forged ahead, pushing through with his overwhelming power.
"An imperial stronghold could be built within the Heavenly Battlefield, allowing people to transition from the Heavenly Tomb into the base."
Chu Yuan was analyzing the local environment.
He intended to become a part of the Heavens by forging his own eternal world, evolving his Eternal Kingdom into the Heavens itself.
At present, while he possessed a will comparable to the Heavens, his foundation was not yet deep enough for his world to undergo ascension.
Naturally, the arrival of his empire's citizens would not happen immediately.
Once he grasped the specific laws of the Heavens and could guide their subsequent Cultivation paths, they would emerge in waves under the protection of his vast power.
The Heavenly Battlefield was also an ideal location—teeming with danger and relics—making it a perfect training ground.
"A truly vast battlefield."
As Chu Yuan traveled, he realized the scale was even more immense than he had anticipated.
This was to be expected, considering it was the very realm where the most supreme conflicts had occurred, giving birth to this world.
"Hmm? An Eternal Divine Artifact."
Stepping forward, Chu Yuan suddenly spotted a brilliant golden radiance in the distance, revealing a majestic golden blade.
The golden blade shimmered, engraved with eternal laws and entwined with the silhouettes of golden dragons.
One look confirmed that this Divine Artifact was different from common ones; it carried the aura of an emperor of the heavens, likely forged by a mighty expert from within the Heavens.
Even though he already held two Supreme Divine Artifacts and had no personal use for this blade, it would be a valuable asset for a strong subordinate back in the empire.
He reached out to seize the golden blade, but it immediately went into a frenzy. Violent power erupted as boundless blade Qi condensed into the phantom of a king of blades.
This king of blades swung through the firmament, shattering countless mountains and rivers.
As Chu Yuan forcibly contended with the king of blades, the surrounding environment suffered a massive breakdown. A chain reaction of space-time collapses occurred, and devouring black holes began to manifest.
Terrifying pressures surged from every direction, as layers of explosive energy attempted to crush Chu Yuan.
Simply reaching for the golden blade had triggered such a violent response.
Chu Yuan stood at the center of the space-time explosions. Though the storm vortex tried to pull him in, he remained rooted to the spot, his eyes suddenly darting toward a specific location.
His hand lashed out, and amidst a tremor of force, a figure was dragged into view.
The individual was clad in black robes and surrounded by churning dark clouds, their hands manipulating restrictive seals. The recent collapse of space-time had been orchestrated by this person.
Upon realizing Chu Yuan had spotted him, the man looked stunned.
"You actually managed to sense me!" he exclaimed in disbelief.
Nevertheless, he acted swiftly, striking his palms together to amplify the power of the king of blades. Each strike became more vicious, further splintering the surrounding time and space.
"Hmph! Even if you found me, it changes nothing. Once you fall into the trap of the Black Cloud Celestial, don't dream of escaping, haha! Even if you are a Celestial, I will cut you down with this king blade artifact!"
The self-titled Black Cloud Celestial possessed narrow, predatory eyes that gleamed with pure malice.
He looked at Chu Yuan as if the man were nothing more than prey.
He had used the golden blade and restrictive arrays as bait, waiting for a victim to stumble into his snare.
The golden blade’s energy was overwhelming, with blade beams flowing like rivers of destruction, accompanied by the crushing force of the collapsing space-time.
Simultaneously, he unleashed waves of secret techniques.
"Black Cloud Celestial? An Eternal Celestial."
Chu Yuan’s hand cast a shadow over the heavens, making it impossible for the Black Cloud Celestial’s power to get near him. His heavenly will pierced through space-time, neutralizing every attack.
He didn't even need to move closer.
Eternal divine light saturated the sky, and the Emperor’s majesty, as vast as the heavens, descended to crush the interloper.
When Chu Yuan’s eyes met his, the Black Cloud Celestial felt as though he had been struck by a physical blow; his consciousness teetered on the edge of oblivion.
A single glance was nearly enough to make the Black Cloud Celestial collapse.
"Could he be the Heavens? No, he hasn't reached that level yet. Run, I have to run!"
The Black Cloud Celestial was struck with terror, cursing his luck for running into such a monster. Abandoning the golden blade, he turned to flee instantly.
Survival was his only priority.
But Chu Yuan’s hand, backed by infinite eternal power, sealed the area. The Black Cloud Celestial found himself trapped within a pocket of space-time he could not flee.
He fought desperately against the descending, sky-swallowing hand.
With a simple clench of his fist, Chu Yuan captured him. The Black Cloud Celestial’s resistance was useless; as he was squeezed, his body broke and his soul let out agonizing screams.
"Who are you? You cannot kill me! I serve the Great Evil. I belong to the Evil Realm! If you kill me, the Evil Realm will seek vengeance!" the Black Cloud Celestial shrieked.
Chu Yuan understood the weight of those words, recognizing them from the records of past eras.
Though he had been confined to the Eternal Road previously, the Heavenly One there was a being of the Heavens realm, and much had been revealed through the eternal laws.
The Great Evil was undoubtedly a Heavenly One as well.
Unfazed, Chu Yuan crushed the Black Cloud Celestial’s physical form. He seized the man's soul with his will, ruthlessly stripping away his memories and knowledge.
"I see," Chu Yuan muttered.
