Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2028: Taking the Initiative

Had Emperor Wan realized beforehand that Chu Yuan already commanded the will of the Upper Heavens, no level of greed would have drawn him there.

Chu Yuan kept the will of the Upper Heavens concealed, leaving others unable to detect its presence.

It was comparable to a deity from the Upper Heavens walking among mortals in human guise; one would simply fail to identify them.

This is because such a transcendent level of power is far beyond ordinary comprehension.

Only those belonging to the Upper Heavens can truly perceive the Upper Heavens.

The demise of Emperor Wan was already a settled fate.

By slaying him, Chu Yuan absorbed the energy of all heavens and plundered his entire fortune.

Now, within the Heavenly Battlefield, he persisted in slaughtering powerful combatants. Though he appeared reckless and defiant, he was actually harvesting resources to build the foundation of his Eternal Kingdom and broaden its borders.

"A powerhouse of the Martial World, Xian Wu the Emperor!"

Chu Yuan’s attention immediately zeroed in on a specific coordinate.

He was never the type to endure an assault without retaliating.

"Xian Wu the Emperor, a fellow Heaven Emperor has located that enigmatic ruler and is urgently calling for our backup!"

At that moment, six shadows streaked through the void, cutting across time and space. Each was an expert of the Emperor realm, radiating a martial pressure capable of dominating countless worlds.

"Our pursuit order has been broadcast, weaving a net even across this Heavenly Battlefield. He is incredibly insolent; after slaying Xuan Wu the Emperor, he dared to stay behind instead of fleeing. I suspect he may have formed an alliance with the Thunder Realm to sabotage the battlefield, and perhaps he is even waiting for us on purpose!"

One of the Emperors remarked.

In a conflict involving the Upper Heavens, every deceptive tactic is utilized.

Decades of friction with the Thunder Realm naturally bred such distrust.

"It matters not if he is allied with the Thunder Realm; he must be eliminated. Sheng Wu the Emperor will handle the forces of the Thunder Realm, while our objective is to end his life."

The aura surrounding Xian Wu the Emperor was drenched in blood. "The honor of the Martial World cannot be insulted!"

"It shall not be disgraced! Those who dare must be put to death without pity!"

The other Emperors chorused their agreement.

However, as they attempted to advance, the environment suddenly fractured. A limitless force erupted, bringing a cataclysmic pressure as a shimmering rainbow fell like a deluge of light.

"An ambush!"

"Is it him?"

"Hmph, regardless of who it is, if they dare strike at us, they will learn the extent of our power!"

The group of Emperors turned their gaze toward the source.

"Mysterious Emperor, I have already detected you; cease these parlor tricks. If you think you can intimidate this Emperor, you are mistaken. The might of the Martial World surpasses your wildest dreams!"

Xian Wu the Emperor remained unfazed, channeling devastating martial arts. Through his immense Cultivation, dozens of weapons materialized out of thin air to launch an assault.

The strength of Xian Wu the Emperor was truly unrivaled in the mundane world.

He occupied the very peak of the Heaven Emperor realm; neither Xuan Wu the Emperor nor Wan Tian the Emperor could hope to match him.

A single step further would allow him to grasp the will of the Upper Heavens.

Yet, those who have achieved the will of the Upper Heavens are incredibly rare.

Each one of them possesses the ability to commune directly with the Upper Heavens itself.

When his attack surged forward, a massive counter-force pushed back, unexpectedly severing his strike and forcing Xian Wu the Emperor to retreat several steps.

"Such power!"

Xian Wu the Emperor grew grave internally. A martial artist must possess a heart of absolute courage while remaining objective enough to respect a rival's strength.

"Show yourself!"

Xian Wu the Emperor barked.

Amidst a display of eternal grandeur, an immortal wave rolled out, and a figure emerged as if stepping out of ancient legends. Draped in imperial silks, he walked upon the sky.

"That man is the mysterious Emperor!"

Xian Wu the Emperor’s heart skipped a beat upon sighting him. This individual was so shrouded in mystery that even he couldn't gauge his depth; he had never encountered an Emperor of such staggering power.

Nonetheless, he betrayed no sign of alarm.

"So, it is you!"

Confronted by this heavy pressure, Xian Wu the Emperor spoke with forced boldness, attempting to seize the psychological advantage.

"I shall grant you an opportunity."

Chu Yuan looked down at them with an air of supreme authority, as if waiting for them to make the first move.

This blatant mockery sparked a fire in the hearts of the Martial World Emperors. Their fury burned so intensely it felt as though their chests might burst from the perceived insult.

This time, they had deployed a powerful team of six Emperors, with Xian Wu the Emperor at the helm.

"You are prideful, and your strength is indeed great, but do you believe that will provoke me into a reckless rage? I am Xian Wu the Emperor of the Martial World. I have slain countless experts throughout my life. Even if I cannot finish you, the Martial World certainly can."

Xian Wu the Emperor spoke to Chu Yuan with icy detachment.

To a peak Heaven Emperor, fear was a foreign concept, regardless of how powerful the foe appeared.

Suddenly, a blade manifested in Xian Wu the Emperor’s grip. It was not a polished weapon but one stained with ancient blood, echoing with the screams of trapped spirits—an ominous tool that felt like a gateway to purgatory.

He had claimed innumerable lives with this very blade.

He was the executioner of the Martial World.

"Xian Wu the Emperor will take the lead; we will surround him and provide support!"

"This man is far too arrogant. We must teach him the true power of the Martial World. To defy us is to invite death!"

...

They stared at Chu Yuan.

Though the man was silent, his stoic demeanor was more insulting than any taunt.

His every movement suggested that the outcome was already decided and that he intended to slaughter them all.

At that moment, Chu Yuan’s Qi surged toward the heavens, making him appear majestic and beyond reach.

He intended to use this clash as a stepping stone to reach the Upper Heavens.

Standing solitary, he ignited the fires of war, sounding like the roar of a million charging soldiers.

"Kill!"

With eyes flashing with murderous intent, Xian Wu the Emperor lunged. The full might of a peak Heaven Emperor was unleashed, each swing of his blade capable of tearing the sky asunder.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a top-tier Heaven Emperor among the ancient rulers of the Martial World.

While Emperor Wan had been strong, he paled in comparison to Xian Wu the Emperor, whose single strike could negate countless high-level techniques.

The fame of Xian Wu the Emperor was well-earned.

Many who dared to challenge the Martial World had fallen to his blade, including several genuine Heaven Emperors.

Xian Wu the Emperor remained supremely confident, his domineering presence fueling a direct, punishing strike.

As the blade descended toward him, an unbelievable sight occurred in front of Chu Yuan.

With a casual raise of his hand, an invisible barrier stopped Xian Wu the Emperor’s blade in mid-air, preventing it from moving an inch further.

"How is this possible!"

The surrounding Emperors shouted in shock.

"Martial Might Battles the Heavens!"

A veteran of a thousand wars, Xian Wu the Emperor immediately followed up with a punch the moment his blade was blocked. The resulting explosive force was enough to shatter an Emperor's physical form.

As a peak Heaven Emperor, his power was immense.

Yet, Chu Yuan was far more daunting.

Amidst the series of explosions, Chu Yuan did not budge. His imperial majesty shook the very fabric of the universe as he channeled his absolute power into a counter-punch.

This strike hit Xian Wu the Emperor with an irresistible force.

His body was sent reeling, the impact churning the heavens and the seas, nearly causing his Heaven Emperor essence to destabilize.

"Excellent! The more powerful you are, the more my blood boils. How can one reach the top without such rivals!"

The aura of Xian Wu the Emperor grew even more fierce. He was a relentless God of War, his path of martial dominance crushing any who stood in his way.

His martial domain expanded, threatening to pull his enemies into a gory realm of eternal combat.
