Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2012: The Manifestation of the Eternal Kingdom
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The war to conquer the Heavens is a conflict of faith and the will of the Heavenly Dao, representing a total struggle that spans from the highest peaks to the lowest depths.
That Eternal King is destined for defeat; his path has already been carved by fate.
Chu Yuan observes clearly: on one side stand the most elite forces, while the other side is not the martial heavens itself, but merely a clan that worships the martial realm. They possess no means to withstand such a fierce onslaught.
Indeed, it did not take long after the battle commenced.
Realizing he was outmatched, the Eternal King chose to abandon his own kin and turned to flee.
However, the Thunder Armored Deity advanced with unstoppable momentum. Brandishing a thunderous spear, the sheer force of the Eternal Imperial Arm tore into the King. Blood sprayed everywhere as the King’s screams echoed continuously.
He was simply no match for his opponent.
The Thunder Armored Deity roared, unleashing the God of Extermination technique. The strike smashed down, reducing the King entirely to minced meat.
Even as the remains squirmed, the lightning incinerated them, snuffing out every last trace of life.
Such is the authority bestowed by the Heavens.
"You dared to think you could shatter the heavens with martial might and wipe out all calamities? Bah! You were courting death. The power of thunder shall be your eternal nightmare—a curse you can never escape!"
The Thunder Armored Deity stood tall, appearing like an eternal god.
"Master, the clan that followed the martial heavens has been utterly wiped out by us. Not a single soul remains!"
Other lightning spirits soon arrived to deliver their reports.
"Excellent work. This is our great achievement. The more we contribute to the Heavens, the richer our rewards shall be. By eradicating those who believe in the martial heavens, we sap their strength and spread our thunderous path. This will lead more beings to worship us, further magnifying our power. This is the road to supremacy, our tribute to the Heavens."
The Thunder Armored Deity declared.
"Master, many followers of the martial heavens still survive across various realms," the spirits noted.
"The Heavens are watchful. As long as they dare to hold their rituals, we can strike them down instantly with heavenly tribulation. In this war against the martial realm, we shall seize absolute dominance. For too long they have been prideful, shouting to the world that martial power can crush all calamities. This time, we shall bring them a ruinous disaster, letting the tribulation of the thunder realm fall upon every world until all are under our command!"
The Thunder Armored Deity scanned the area, his voice erupting like a thunderclap.
"Who is lurking there? Come out and face me!"
With his roar, divine thunder surged across the sky, crossing vast distances to expose Chu Yuan’s position.
"Answer me! Who are you?"
The Thunder Armored Deity was incredibly arrogant. Possessing such strength, he viewed Chu Yuan as nothing and shouted at him directly.
It was the power granted by the Heavens that gave him this celestial-like Majesty. Acting as the hand of heaven, he looked down upon Chu Yuan’s presence.
Chu Yuan was not surprised to be discovered.
He had never attempted to mask his presence, simply standing there with composure.
With his level of strength, there was no reason to hide from a mere Eternal King.
"He deserves to die!"
Upon witnessing this, the citizens of the empire erupted in fury.
Their supreme Emperor, the peerless being who had stood against the Eternal Extinction, was being addressed in such a manner. It was a blatant desecration of the Emperor’s dignity.
"Fine. Regardless of who you are, by defying the majesty of this deity, you are insulting the Heavens themselves!"
Driven by a mysterious confidence, his perception was clouded by a power that was not truly his own.
He lunged forward, his thunderous spear crackling with rage, summoning a boundless sea of storms. In a heartbeat, a power capable of shattering the heavens descended upon Chu Yuan.
Who had given him such hubris to challenge Chu Yuan’s sovereign authority?
As his spear prepared to strike, the deity was gripped by horror. He found he could not follow through. His power was being crushed in mid-air; a mere thought from his opponent made him feel as though he faced an insurmountable wall.
"Could he be of the Imperial realm?"
The thought flashed through the Thunder Armored Deity’s mind. Only those in the Imperial realm could possess such might. He screamed: "Even if you are in the Imperial realm, what of it? I am the child of the Heavens! Before the Heavens, even the Imperial realm must bow!"
He called upon the Heavens, and his power surged to a new peak.
He felt such boldness because his current divine might could challenge even an Imperial realm expert. Unfortunately, he had encountered Chu Yuan.
His confidence returned as he channeled terrifying energy into the peerless Thunder Spear, thrusting it downward.
The strike carried endless radiance—the sun, moon, stars, and the very galaxy itself. It transcended all heavenly will, as if he were the embodiment of the Heavens.
"That will!"
The Thunder Armored Deity’s expression finally twisted in shock. His terrified soul felt as though it were being cast into its own universe.
Boom!
Eternal power surged outward. The Thunder Armored Deity was powerless to resist as Chu Yuan stepped forward. No child of the Heavens or Eternal King could hope to hold their ground against him.
"You dare to kill me? I am the child of the Heavens!"
He cried out.
Chu Yuan remained silent, his massive palm already descending.
Just as he was about to strike him down, a lightning mark flashed on the deity's forehead, immediately manifesting the terrifying heavenly pressure of the Thunder Heavens.
The protection of the Heavens shields its children.
The mark of the Thunder Heavens manifested a divine will, and a bolt of lightning lunged toward Chu Yuan.
However, Chu Yuan’s own will obliterated the imprint. His hand, vast as a cosmic millstone, crushed down from the sky. The final image in the Thunder Armored Deity’s life was Chu Yuan’s grand and majestic form.
Chu Yuan’s gaze swept across the area, and the remaining lightning spirits instantly exploded.
While he had no desire to meddle in the war between the two Heavens, Chu Yuan would never hesitate to act if provoked.
This fragment of the Eternal Imperial Arm now belonged to him as well.
"The martial and thunder realms have ignited a battle of the Heavens, creating a Heavenly Battlefield."
Chu Yuan remarked: "This conflict draws in more than just martial and thunder; other Heavens are participating both openly and in the shadows. Many powerful figures are entangled here."
In the domain of the Heavens, peace is never an option.
"The war between these two Heavens will be exceptionally brutal."
Chu Yuan contemplated the situation.
In a war of the Heavens, even if the Heavens themselves do not fight directly, they use every resource to bolster their forces, dragging countless Kings and Imperial realm experts into the fray.
He was not being arrogant.
The sheer scale of such a war was something that could not be witnessed on the Eternal path.
He felt it was necessary to observe this, both to prepare for his own rise to the Heavens and to allow the citizens of his empire to witness such a high-level conflict.
"People of the empire, the Eternal Kingdom shall consume the Heavenly Corpse to forge a path to eternity. The first group may now depart the empire."
Chu Yuan’s voice resonated throughout his entire domain.
The moment had arrived.
He would now allow the citizens to step forth. If they remained confined within the Eternal Kingdom, they could never reach the heights of the King or Imperial realms.
The divine light of the Eternal Kingdom intensified to its peak, its brilliant power radiating from the Heavenly Corpse.
With a mighty will and a grand kingdom, the power at this moment created a massive devouring field. It consumed everything, finally manifesting the Eternal Kingdom into the physical world!
