Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2031: 2031: Celestial Lord of Thunder [4th Update]

This process can no longer be described as mere consumption.

It is the act of devouring the heavens themselves, swallowing one celestial realm after another and claiming everything as his own.

By absorbing the essence of other beings, he can fortify his own power in the shortest possible timeframe. As long as his strength remains absolute, any internal instability can be forcefully suppressed.

A terrifying vortex of devouring energy instantly enveloped the divine body of the heavens.

Despite being as mighty as the world itself, there was only one fate for this entity under Chu Yuan’s domineering will: to be consumed by him.

Roaring divine flames erupted as the divine body of the heavens began to boil. All that boundless power was refined by him, transformed into a force capable of moving mountains and seas, and channeled directly into the entire empire.

The energy contained within a single divine being of the heavens far exceeds that of thousands upon thousands of heavenly emperors; it is a fundamental difference in the level of existence.

His Eternal Kingdom underwent a massive expansion, with towering structures rising from the earth. The energy harvested from devouring the heavens provided him with the most indestructible foundation.

Utilizing the essence of this heavenly divine body, every individual received benefits, and the citizens of the empire began to advance at a rapid pace.

The evolution of the entire world will trigger incredible transformations, pushing the power limits of the citizenry to a frantic new height.

First, the Heavenly Tomb would be devoured, followed by the Heavenly Battlefield, then the entirety of the existing heavenly realm, until finally, the heavens and earth are forged anew.

This was Chu Yuan’s strategy—simple, yet utterly domineering.

However, after refining this divine body of the heavens into pure energy, Chu Yuan also detected a different sort of vibration—a chaotic will filled with curses, reluctance, and bitter resentment.

The empire became permeated with this resentment of heaven and earth.

Because every deity of the heavens is a figure who once ruled over the world, their passing leaves behind an enduring spite. Devouring their energy naturally brings this resentment along with it.

This malice is so potent that even the heavens struggle to wash it away.

For now, it appeared that Chu Yuan had used his invincible might to crush this resentment, yet it continued to seep through every corner of the Eternal Kingdom.

While this resentment seems benign at the moment, it is destined to erupt the second he ascends to the heavenly realm.

It functions like a time bomb. One knows exactly when it will go off, yet the temptation of the power it provides makes it impossible to refuse.

It was as if Chu Yuan had planted a ticking explosive within the heart of his empire.

The other heavens surely knew of the many divine bodies resting within the Heavenly Tomb. While refining them grants immense power, they fear the indestructible resentment that could potentially shatter their own heavenly realms.

As Chu Yuan persists in his devouring, the more he consumes, the more this resentment accumulates. Sooner or later, it will result in a catastrophic disaster.

But Chu Yuan is determined to become a heavenly deity in the shortest time possible; he has only one path forward.

Devour everything!

He possesses no fear of such resentment.

If one desires to rule the entire heavenly realm but lacks the confidence to handle this, then it is better to abandon such ambitions immediately.

Rumble! The might of the Eternal Kingdom generated even more powerful shockwaves throughout the Heavenly Tomb.

Meanwhile, within his true body located in the Heavenly Battlefield...

Chu Yuan opened his eyes. With such a massive influx of energy from the Eternal Kingdom, his strength as the ruler of the empire surged, breaking through to a higher level at that very moment.

Every small movement he made now carried a trace of heavenly majesty, as if he could take that ultimate step at any second.

“Even if I were to face a true heavenly deity now, I could hold my own. Once the entire Heavenly Tomb is devoured, I will have gathered enough foundation to ascend to the heavenly world. I will finish devouring it soon.”

The aura Chu Yuan radiated was enough to swallow mountains and rivers; his confidence was absolute.

“It’s here.”

At that moment, Chu Yuan suddenly remarked, “It has arrived.”

A presence that dominated heaven and earth appeared amidst terrifying bursts of lightning. Countless visions manifested as each bolt of electricity tore through the endless reaches of the world.

It was an aura that forced the world to submit. Upon seeing such lightning, one immediately knew which great Sovereign had made his entrance.

Within those flashes, a massive, towering figure took shape. Its face was incredibly blurred—much like how mortals are unable to see the faces of gods clearly—and the sheer ferocity of its majesty prevented anyone from looking it in the eye.

This figure was the master of the most potent path of lightning.

A single glance from him could trigger a person's greatest tribulation, even if they were a heavenly emperor.

This was the Thunder Sovereign!

However, this was not the actual physical body of the Thunder Sovereign, but rather a mark formed from his will across the reaches of space.

The Thunder Sovereign was an ancient heavenly deity.

If the King of the Heavens was considered the first deity, then the Thunder Sovereign belonged to the second generation of deities, mastering the domineering laws of lightning and the most powerful tribulations.

His authority was vast.

Even among the heavenly deities, power levels vary; without question, the Thunder Sovereign stood at the very peak.

Today, he had specifically manifested a mark for one clear purpose: to meet Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan’s growing power had already caught the attention of the Thunder Sovereign.

“You are that mysterious heavenly emperor; I am the Thunder Sovereign.”

Even though it was merely the mark of a heavenly deity, the Thunder Sovereign’s presence was suffocating. His voice was like rolling thunder, exploding in the ears and demanding the mind to bow down.

“Thunder Sovereign.”

Facing the Thunder Sovereign, Chu Yuan spoke with total composure.

Despite the status of the deity before him, he showed no signs of weakness. He stood tall against the mark of the heavenly deity, remaining eternally unyielding.

“Good, very good. I admire you. I have taken notice of you; you are the one who killed the Executioner of the Martial World. You are no common heavenly emperor. Your will has reached the heavenly grade, and your world is ascending.”

The Thunder Sovereign acknowledged the extent of Chu Yuan’s power.

Under the pressure of his divine will, only someone who had already condensed the will of a deity could remain unshaken.

He even offered words of praise.

Coming from the mouth of the Thunder Sovereign, such a compliment to a heavenly emperor was a mark of supreme glory. It was a recognition of strength that would leave a lasting impression on the mind of any deity.

“Thunder Sovereign, what is your reason for seeking me out?”

Chu Yuan displayed no sense of reverence.

“Your actions have provoked the Martial Sovereign. The Martial Sovereign is a man of dominant action, someone who shatters the heavens with martial strength—the very ancestor of martial power. You can protect yourself against ordinary deities, but against the Martial Sovereign, his martial fists can crush your divine will. No matter how strong you are, you have not yet entered the realm of the deities.”

The Thunder Sovereign explained.

The Martial Sovereign is exceptionally powerful, a believer in absolute force who breaks all obstacles with martial might.

Because of this, the Martial Sovereign is terrifying in a direct fight.

The Martial Sovereign has even claimed the lives of deities, slaying ordinary ones during the heavenly battles.

In his view, while Chu Yuan is impressive, he is still lacking when compared to the Martial Sovereign.

“Thunder Sovereign, I see your point; you have come to recruit me.”

Chu Yuan saw through the intentions behind the long explanation.

“You are perceptive. The Martial Sovereign is my competitor. If you enter my Thunder Realm and fight on my behalf, the Martial Sovereign will be unable to move against you. Within my Thunder Realm, you will hold the highest rank beneath me and enjoy my full protection.”
