Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2029: 2029: Devastating Losses
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The Infernal Martial Emperor erupted with a savage, unrestrained combat power, every movement whipping up a tempest of martial arts. A collection of imperial weapons drifted around him, each one drenched in fresh blood.
These artifacts—ranging from blades and swords to axes and guillotines—were the physical manifestations of ruthless punishment and extreme agony.
With every martial strike, visions of horrific torture, hellish suffering, and bloody vengeful spirits materialized in the air.
Witnessing this, the five other powerful beings combined their strength to launch a joint assault. Five streams of imperial realm power fused into a singular, overwhelming tide of vast energy.
True imperial power, capable of shaking the foundations of the world, moving mountains, and reversing the flow of the seas, surged forward.
At that moment, waves of pure destruction began to radiate from Chu Yuan’s form.
Cold and merciless, a pillar of eternal divine light pierced toward the heavens, instantly vaporizing the Infernal Martial Emperor’s hellish domain.
He stood as the sovereign of the mortal world, sweeping his mighty hand across the battlefield; none could stand against him.
Suddenly, he lunged at the Infernal Martial Emperor. Even a peak emperor was forced to retreat step by step before Chu Yuan’s relentless advance.
“Martial Arts Unyielding!”
The Infernal Martial Emperor bellowed, unleashing his indomitable martial power. His fists seemed to crack the firmament as he resisted with stubborn defiance.
Through his strength, a deeper gloom manifested, ignited by a sanguine, infernal divine fire.
This infernal divine fire was so potent that any contact with the body inflicted agony comparable to being cast into the depths of a literal inferno.
Chu Yuan, however, remained completely unperturbed.
His aura was too overwhelming; he stood amidst the infernal divine fire without moving. With a casual wave of his hand, the flames were snuffed out.
“Even my infernal divine fire fails to affect him. Just what level of strength has he reached? Could he have attained a heart of the heavens? Even if he approaches heavenly strength, I will not falter; he is not a true Celestial God!”
The Infernal Martial Emperor possessed a heart of iron, possessing the courage to challenge any foe.
Yet, he remained baffled by the fact that he still knew nothing of Chu Yuan’s identity. This figure had appeared out of nowhere, possessing a terrifying strength never before recorded.
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The thought of retreat never crossed the Infernal Martial Emperor’s mind.
His magnificent martial arts were on full display, each technique and stance carrying the authority to administer heavenly punishment.
But Chu Yuan was the sky itself, and punishment holds no sway over the heavens. A single palm strike twisted the fabric of reality, and a divine glow from his devouring technique slammed into the emperor's body, erupting in a violent explosion.
With a flip of his hand, he turned the clouds to rain; any martial maneuvers lost their meaning and color in his presence.
“Kill!”
Seeing the Infernal Martial Emperor being suppressed, the five imperial realm experts roared in fury.
However, the moment they charged, a figure flickered beside them, and a cataclysmic force detonated in their midst.
The five imperial realm experts were instantly sent flying by the impact.
“Not good!”
A chilling premonition of doom washed over the Infernal Martial Emperor.
He had already guessed Chu Yuan’s intentions.
But knowing was useless.
Chu Yuan’s strike brought about the collapse of the universe. Celestial time-space shattered as the spectacle of an iron-steed army of thousands was conjured, their unstoppable momentum crushing everything in their path.
One emperor failed to react in time and was swallowed by the torrent. With eyes full of despair and unable to offer the slightest resistance, his body was torn to pieces.
This was the grim reality of the massive power gap between them.
Though every shred of the shattered flesh hummed with immense vitality, Chu Yuan gave him no opening, devouring the remains instantly.
After executing that emperor, he did not hesitate. He locked onto another target, moving with the speed of a lightning bolt. Thunder flashed across the distance, exploding against the emperor while carrying Chu Yuan’s celestial will.
In an instant, that emperor’s divine body was cleaved in two.
A divine light from the heavens descended, grinding him into dust and snuffing out all traces of his life force.
He was simply too powerful, butchering emperors as if they were dogs; these formidable imperial realm beings appeared pathetic in his wake.
It wasn't that they were weak, but rather that Chu Yuan’s strength was utterly overwhelming.
When another emperor met Chu Yuan’s gaze, his spirit broke, and his martial power scattered before it could even gather.
Chu Yuan pointed a single finger—a celestial stroke of unparalleled destruction. The blow smashed down directly, and the emperor was drowned in power, letting out a final cry of hopelessness.
Three imperial realm experts had been slaughtered, erased from existence.
“You!”
The Infernal Martial Emperor tried to stay composed, but seeing Chu Yuan’s casual massacre, he could no longer stay silent: “You are butchering the emperors of my realm in this manner! Are you trying to force my world to mobilize every powerhouse we have to hunt you down?”
“Who is there for me to fear?”
Chu Yuan’s will was indomitable.
It was this very will that fueled his celestial intent.
Excluding the Infernal Martial Emperor, two imperial realm experts remained, and both were marked as his prey.
“You two are next.”
Chu Yuan gave the decree; whoever he named was destined for death.
His towering, rugged imperial form appeared before one of them. Against that invincible shadow, all resistance was erased before it could begin.
Starting from the head, the imperial body detonated all the way down to the feet.
“You cannot kill me!”
The last one was an emperor who, while not as highly ranked as the Profound Martial Emperor, had reached his current Cultivation after surviving countless trials.
Yet, before Chu Yuan, he crumbled instantly.
He was too formidable, a truly invincible force.
“I’ll take you with me!”
As his soul began to collapse, he threw himself at Chu Yuan, burning his very essence with martial divine fire. Knowing he was doomed, he chose to fight until his final breath.
Chu Yuan brought his hands together, compressing two massive pressures into one point.
That imperial realm expert was simply crushed to death.
Even though they were in the imperial realm, when faced with strength that rivaled the heavens, the disparity was an insurmountable wall; they were not even on the same level of existence.
“You’ve slaughtered them all!”
The Infernal Martial Emperor had known this man was powerful, but he never imagined that five imperial realm experts would perish before he could even intervene.
Including the Profound Martial Emperor who fell earlier, the count was now six!
This was a catastrophic loss.
Imperial realm experts were not common; they required eons of time to cultivate, and each served as a pillar of the realm’s foundation.
Even in the brutal wars against the Thunder Realm, it was rare for an emperor to die.
To lose six so suddenly would tip the scales of their conflict with the Thunder Realm, regardless of their world's overall strength.
“You shall be the greatest enemy of my realm!”
The Infernal Martial Emperor finally acknowledged Chu Yuan’s terrifying dignity. Even as a peak emperor, he was no match for him.
To slay such a man, either the heavens themselves had to intervene, or the realm’s hidden forbidden emperors had to emerge.
“Martial Divine Fist, Heaven-breaking Force!”
For a man as proud as the Infernal Martial Emperor, running away was a mark of shame.
However, this retreat was for the sake of a future counterattack, avoiding a meaningless death.
He suddenly unleashed his supreme martial talent, soaring into the stratosphere with boundless confidence to shatter any celestial blockade. With surging power, it seemed he would puncture the very sky.
He held a deep grudge, as did his entire realm.
If this mysterious emperor was allowed to live, his realm would suffer a permanent stain among the celestial worlds—an unerasable humiliation.
The only way to wash away this disgrace was to kill the one who caused it.
The realm would strike once more.
Against the full might of the realm, he had to die!
But as he attempted to flee, Chu Yuan’s hand expanded until it eclipsed the firmament, reaching out to envelop him!
