Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2022: 2022: The Path of Cultivation and Plunder

Exchanging Destiny Points directly for Upper Realm Divine Stones was his choice.

Upon Chu Yuan making this decision, the system promptly enabled the exchange function for Upper Realm Divine Stones.

In truth, as Chu Yuan's power surged, Destiny Points had long since diminished in utility, with his accumulated balance already reaching tens of billions after numerous completed tasks.

Although Destiny Points could also be used to acquire Eternal Imperial Weapons from the system mall, Chu Yuan remained completely uninterested.

He vastly preferred to slay Imperial-tier entities, a method that yielded far greater returns than simple exchange.

As for various treasures, he had no need for them either. If the Primordial God could manifest objects from the void, then so could he.

He possessed the ability to absorb vast quantities of energy to forge a multitude of divine artifacts.

Consequently, a massive surplus of Destiny Points persisted.

“System…”

He instinctively connected with the system.

Despite the system's origin within the Ultimate World's Upper Realm, Chu Yuan still lacked clarity regarding the power that brought it into existence.

Within that System Space, even with his current formidable power, it remained immeasurable, its boundaries never revealed.

This led him to ponder whether the System Space itself might, in fact, represent a world within the Upper Realm, a possibility he couldn't rule out.

“The initial sentient being of the Upper Realm was the Sovereign of the Upper Realm; could the system have also emerged at that time?”

Chu Yuan found himself speculating.

He understood that the system would soon unveil all its hidden truths.

“The exchange cost is indeed substantial; five billion Destiny Points are required for a single Upper Realm Divine Stone.”

Chu Yuan observed the steep price for exchange; even if he converted all his Destiny Points, he would only acquire approximately a hundred Upper Realm Divine Stones.

He would still need to rely on methods of plundering and killing.

The system's exchange merely offered an additional avenue.

He also pondered the nature of the system's power, which allowed it to provide so many Upper Realm Divine Stones for exchange.

The system was both enigmatic and potent.

Throughout his journey, from a humble Imperial Dynasty to his current formidable strength, the system had provided immense assistance, proving to be the most crucial element.

He did not deny this in the slightest.

It could be asserted that without the system, he would not have attained his present standing.

And regarding the system's power, the stronger one became, the more profoundly its influence was felt.

Chu Yuan consistently regarded the system as nothing more than a powerful instrument, and with such tools, one's duty is not to venerate or fear them, but to exercise control.

He retrieved an Upper Realm Divine Stone.

Suddenly, a brilliant divine flame erupted from the Upper Realm Divine Stone, melting it into a unique energy, and that single stone paradoxically coalesced into a surging torrent.

Within this deluge, an extraordinarily distinct aura permeated.

“The world beyond the Upper Realm does not exist; it is the Upper Realm itself continuously expanding, transforming nonexistence into existence. Upper Realm Divine Stones can only be forged by the Upper Realm, making them truly miraculous divine stones.”

Boom!

He executed incredibly intricate seals with his hands.

Rapid transformations occurred, each seal embodying the profoundest principles of heaven and earth. The Upper Realm expanded the cosmos, while souls and thoughts traversed into non-existent realms.

And the energy from the Upper Realm Divine Stone flowed into the Eternal Kingdom, giving rise to vast new worlds.

That was the world-creating energy of the Upper Realm.

In an instant, Chu Yuan seemed to embody the true Upper Realm, grasping its unimaginable might, a power eternally yearned for by those of Imperial-tier.

“Upper Realm Divine Stones contain the ultimate principles of the Upper Realm; their power is truly indescribable.”

Chu Yuan exhaled a breath of the Upper Realm's energy.

This particular Upper Realm Divine Stone vanished from his grasp; while any other Imperial-tier would require an exceedingly long time to refine it, for him, such a process was unnecessary.

“I can perceive a slight progression in my Cultivation.”

At this moment, Chu Yuan was enveloped by a surge of Upper Realm energy, creating worlds, not merely sundering heaven and earth, with immense power radiating.

Though it appeared to be merely a minute increment, considering Chu Yuan's terrifying current strength, even this single Divine Stone could facilitate growth.

One could potentially use Upper Realm Divine Stones to cultivate Imperial-tier powerhouses.

However, it demands an exorbitant number of Divine Stones; even the Upper Realm itself could not possibly supply so many, preferring forced advancement.

Chu Yuan possessed few Upper Realm Divine Stones at hand; even converting all his current points would only yield a few hundred pieces, far from satisfying his training demands.

Thus, exchange could only be considered one avenue, not the sole solution.

He needed to plunder with his formidable power.

Cultivation itself is inherently a form of plundering.

More Upper Realm Divine Stones dissolved, coalescing into a torrent of Upper Realm energy.

“Only by becoming the Upper Realm can one truly wield the power to dominate the world.”

Chu Yuan faced no bottleneck regarding the realm of the Upper Realm, only a deficit in accumulation.

He understood clearly that regardless of his current strength, without achieving Upper Realm, he would not stand at the pinnacle of the world, nor could he create more worlds.

In the Upper Realm, the phenomenon of an Emperor slaying the Upper Realm has yet to occur.

The Upper Realm is heaven; only heaven can slay heaven.

“My true self ventures within the Upper Realm, while my Eternal Empire aggressively conquers in the Heavenly Tomb, assimilating everything into my domain.”

Chu Yuan's Cultivation path was unequivocally clear to him.

He also recognized that the Empire's strength must endure the crucible of war, and to become the Upper Realm, he must undergo the baptism of blood and fire.

He would not revere other Upper Realms.

Now.

The Eternal Kingdom’s expansion accelerated, its internal time reversing fiercely. Amidst abundant resource provisions, countless individuals achieved eternities, enjoying the benefits of the Empire’s growth.

“I perceive the aura of other Upper Realms.”

During this ravenous expansion, Chu Yuan also detected the aura of an Upper Realm, and it would not be long before he reached it.

By then, a major battle to annex the Upper Realm would inevitably ensue.

The Heavenly Tomb had long been present in the Heavenly Battlefield, yet those Upper Realms had not annexed it, indicating the presence of a power that the Upper Realms feared.

Chu Yuan was aware of this fact, yet he still pressed forward.

Without employing this method, he could not foresee when he would achieve Upper Realm.

“Upper Realm Divine Stones are a byproduct condensed from the Upper Realm’s world creation, manifesting during the formation of worlds, hence only the Upper Realm can condense them.”

Chu Yuan was engaged in practice.

His gaze abruptly shifted to a specific location.

“All the powerful cultivators of my Martial World are dead!”

“They pursued Blood Cang Monarch, sent a distress signal, then encountered a mysterious powerhouse; it was that individual who slaughtered all the strong ones of my Martial World!”

“Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable! Killing my Martial World Monarch is the gravest provocation to us!”

“My Martial World dominates the Upper Realm; enemies have no recourse but death!”

At this moment, multiple terrifying Monarch auras permeated the air, coalescing into the ultimate truth of martial arts.

And behind these Monarchs, an unbounded Imperial-tier power surged.

Boom! Like a bursting flood, eight terrifying figures suddenly rent the heavens, descending upon this land.

These eight formidable figures were far mightier than those encountered earlier; even the weakest among them stood at the pinnacle of the Monarch level, and one had attained the terrifying realm of Heaven Emperor.

This was achieved through self-Cultivation to the Heaven Emperor realm, not through forced elevation to Emperor!
