Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2011: Faith

This is a ritual of sacrifice to the Heavens, a grand ceremony dedicated to the celestial heights.

Before them stands a massive altar designed specifically for the worship of Heaven.

It is a towering structure laden with the offerings of countless people. Unfathomable power surges through it, piercing the firmament as overwhelming forces descend from the mysterious depths of time and space.

At this critical moment, the Eternal King has made extensive preparations, presenting a vast array of sacrifices.

"By sacrificing to the Heavens, praying to the Heavens, and strengthening faith in the Heavens, one can exchange with the Heavens for what they desire," Chu Yuan remarked.

Those creatures residing within the Heavenly Realm possess an absolute, unwavering faith in the Heaven that brought their world into existence.

However, even those from external worlds perform sacrifices to the Heavens to reap benefits.

Chu Yuan perceived that the capacity of Heaven is restricted; not every powerful entity is permitted to enter.

Many mighty beings harbor their own grand ambitions and have no desire to be absorbed into Heaven.

To them, the protection of Heaven is also a heavy shackle.

Consequently.

They utilize sacrifices whenever they seek to obtain something from the Heavens.

Sacrifice serves as an equivalent exchange—a trade where they offer their own possessions to receive what they crave from the Heavens.

Certain eternal imperial realms choose not to join the Heavens directly but instead serve them, performing tasks that the Heavens cannot execute personally.

This is a strategic cooperation.

He grasped this concept entirely.

While the various Heavenly Worlds frequently wage war against one another for resources and faith, Heaven itself rarely gets involved. If it does, the very essence of the conflict shifts.

Thus, whichever side commands more imperial realms holds the superior advantage.

Because of this, the Heavens often make diverse promises to lure these imperial realms to their side.

Currently, the Eternal King’s offerings are so substantial that they have breached the spatial barriers, causing numerous treasures and ancient legacies to descend from above.

"Thank Heaven!"

Through this ritual, the Eternal King has secured immense rewards.

Beyond mere sacrifice, other methods exist to gain favor.

If one performs deeds that benefit the Heavens, they will be rewarded, for the Heavens are the Divine Will.

Naturally, every Heaven possesses its own unique nature.

Within Chu Yuan’s own empire, similar principles are at play; he provides his subjects with abundant resources to nurture them, and once they achieve strength, they repay him through either faith or military conquest.

"The Martial Heaven!"

As the mountain of offerings burned, Chu Yuan felt a fierce, aggressive will—an illusory manifestation of supreme self-respect that embodied the most powerful martial arts in existence.

In the memories of the Dark Cloud Celestial Lord, the Martial Heaven is a renowned and formidable realm.

Its founder established the martial arts of the world, pushing their power to the absolute limit. Within that Heaven, every soul practices martial arts; they are battle-hungry, courageous, and the most fearless martial artists to exist.

It is true.

The will of a Heaven inevitably shapes its people.

If a Heaven wields malevolent power, its inhabitants will likewise be evil.

In Chu Yuan’s empire, which was forged through the fires of war, the citizens do not dread combat; instead, they hunger for it.

However, the Martial of the Martial Heaven is distinct from the Martial of the Divine Martial Empire.

The former represents individual prowess, while the empire’s Martial signifies the art of collective warfare.

Should Chu Yuan eventually become a Heaven, his own strength would compel countless beings to offer sacrifices to him.

Boom! Just as the Eternal King was sacrificing to the Martial Heaven, a sudden disturbance occurred. Divine thunder began to rain down from the sky, originating from a different corner of time and space.

A violent force surged forward, abruptly severing the Eternal King’s connection to his sacrifice.

"It’s you!"

The Eternal King was consumed by rage as he watched a group of beings emerge from the churning sea of lightning.

"I represent the great Heaven to destroy you," declared a figure.

A divine entity clad in thunder armor stepped out. His aura was vast and limitless, seemingly infused with the very will of Heaven.

This power was not his own; it was a gift bestowed upon him by the Heaven he served. His personal realm was also that of an Eternal King.

Yet, his status was elevated, much like a son of Heaven. With such backing, even other imperial realms would find it nearly impossible to kill him.

"Thunder Heaven," Chu Yuan noted.

Indeed, the Sovereign supporting that thunder god was none other than Thunder Heaven.

The relationship between Thunder Heaven and Martial Heaven was far from amicable.

Martial arts emphasize breaking through obstacles with raw strength and defying the heavens, while thunder is the primary manifestation of heavenly tribulations.

When these two dominant forces collide, peace is impossible; a savage war is the only outcome.

Whether Thunder can extinguish Martial Arts or Martial Arts can crush Thunder depends entirely on which power proves superior.

Within the Heavenly Realm, there is no objective right or wrong—only conflicting alignments.

"You still seek our destruction? Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Enraged by the attack of the thunder-armored god, the Eternal King lunged forward. Channeling his kingly will and potent martial arts, he threw a devastating martial god punch.

The sheer will of martial arts flooded the sky, igniting a fierce and brilliant martial true fire.

Although Chu Yuan was not physically present, he was able to peer through time and space to witness the clash. He transmitted these images back to his empire so his people could study and learn from the combat experience.

Despite having seen many conflicts, this battle was unique.

It was a clash backed by the fundamental power of Heaven itself.

"The Extinction of Thunder!"

The thunder-armored god spirit looked upon the Eternal King’s strike with a trace of contempt.

Even though they shared the same cultivation realm, as a son of Heaven, he was truly favored by the Thunder Heaven.

With a simple gesture, the infinite power of Heaven caused the firmament to collapse. He met the martial god punch head-on; in the resulting explosion of electricity, the Eternal King was sent flying backward.

"A son of Heaven!"

The Eternal King’s spirit wavered.

The thunder-armored god spirit was already among the elite of the Eternal Kings, possessing incredible talent—otherwise, he would never have been chosen as a son of Heaven.

Now, bolstered by the power of Thunder Heaven, every movement he made carried the weight of the world.

The Eternal King was outmatched.

"I cannot best him alone; I am part of the martial camp. I must complete the sacrifice to Heaven, allowing more power to descend to end this disaster!"

He did not lose his head; instead, he immediately attempted to resume the ritual.

"You still think you can sacrifice? His power is far too occupied on the Heavenly battlefield to reach you here!"

The thunder-armored god instantly summoned a halberd the color of a thunderbolt. It tore through the void, causing Heaven and Earth to tremble.

The aura of this eternal imperial weapon was truly terrifying.

It, too, carried a blessing from the Thunder Heaven.

While the Eternal King focused on his prayer, the armored god swung the thunder halberd in a savage arc. Nothing could withstand its edge as it sliced the altar clean in half.

With the altar destroyed, the sacrifice was forcibly ended.

Typically, desecrating a sacrifice would trigger the wrath of the Heavens, but because the attacker had the protection of thunder, he feared no retaliation from the Martial will.

"Kill!"

Wielding the eternal imperial weapon, the thunder-armored god spirit moved in for the final slaughter of the Eternal King. Behind him, a host of thunder gods charged forward, intent on wiping out this follower of the Martial Heaven.
