Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2032: 2032: Martial Supreme Above the Heavens
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The Sovereign of Thunder manifested his presence personally with the intent to recruit Chu Yuan.
He highlighted the Martial Sovereign’s murderous intent toward him before offering a prestigious position within the Martial World. By utilizing his identity, he allowed his will to descend as if his physical body were there, a gesture of supreme honor.
This was no mere Sovereign, but one of the highest tier!
Chu Yuan, however, remained completely indifferent to these words.
As the ruler of an entire empire, he was the ultimate Sovereign of his own domain; no matter the strength of another Sovereign, they could not persuade him to submit.
His heart remained invincible.
“Your will is comparable to that of a Sovereign, yet the path to actually ascending to that rank is filled with immense struggle. I can grant you a rare opportunity. Using the might of the Thunder Realm, I can assist you in pioneering the Sovereign Law to reach that stage, and I shall shield you during the process. The cost you must pay is to anchor your will within the Thunder Realm and become one of my subjects.”
The Sovereign of Thunder spoke with an authoritative tone that permitted no disagreement.
While the patronage of an ancient, powerful Sovereign would undoubtedly simplify the path to Cultivation at that level, it carried significant hidden risks.
Namely, he would be forced to follow the commands of another.
“High Sovereign, Low Sovereign.”
Chu Yuan was well aware of what these titles implied.
In the hierarchy of the Thunder Realm, Thunder himself was the High Sovereign.
Should Chu Yuan accept this path, he would be relegated to a Low Sovereign of the Thunder Realm. His Cultivation would serve to bolster the Thunder Realm first, ahead of his own advancement.
The overbearing Sovereign of Thunder had appeared in person only because he recognized Chu Yuan’s staggering potential.
“My patience is quite thin.”
Thunder’s demeanor was aggressive and commanding; he felt that by speaking this much, he had already shown Chu Yuan great respect.
“My patience is just as limited,” Chu Yuan countered with total indifference.
“There are very few who have the courage to defy me.”
As the Sovereign of Thunder spoke, countless bolts of tribulation began to fall. “You have already provoked the Martial Sovereign. If you choose to offend me as well, then regardless of your talents, your progress ends here. You will not even be given the chance to become a Low Sovereign.”
“I am not moved by threats,” Chu Yuan stated calmly.
“Thunder, do you still intend to protect him? He is arrogant and out of control, having slaughtered the imperial realms of my Martial World. His life ends by my hand. Between heaven and earth, he is a dead man walking, and no one can save him!”
A terrifying voice echoed as divine martial flames erupted with ferocity.
A massive, powerful deity emerged from the ancient void, resembling a pillar that held up the sky. As he moved closer, infinite worlds seemed to be birthed by his presence.
His size was beyond imagination and his power surpassed understanding; he was the ultimate martial god.
With boundless strength and martial skill, he forged heavens and earth.
The Martial Sovereign had arrived!
In contrast to the Sovereign of Thunder, the Martial Sovereign appeared in his true physical form rather than a mere projection of his will.
The slaughter of seven imperial realms within the Martial World was a provocation that had completely infuriated the Martial Sovereign. If he failed to execute this person, his entire realm would be turned into a laughingstock.
Sovereigns rarely interfered directly, but that did not mean they never would.
They usually refrained because most matters were beneath them, but when a target proved worthy of their focus, they struck without delay.
The Martial Sovereign was aware that this individual had already merged with a Sovereign’s will, making him effectively a half-Sovereign. Such a power could not be handled by mere celestial emperors.
Even though the Martial World possessed many ancient celestial emperors, sending them might result in their defeat at this man's hands, which would be a humiliating loss.
Every Sovereign possesses deep wisdom; only his personal intervention could guarantee total success, leaving this man no room to struggle against fate.
With the Martial Sovereign’s appearance, his massive presence exerted a pressure so heavy it felt as if people were being suffocated in a vacuum.
This was a true Sovereign in the flesh, a top-tier powerhouse.
Chu Yuan looked directly at his face.
Most Sovereigns showed themselves as manifestations of the will of heaven.
However, the Martial Sovereign looked like a middle-aged man possessing absolute dominance. His features were sharp and noble—the creator of the martial path, the ultimate warrior, and the father of martial arts.
Thunder’s will flickered slightly.
The esteemed Martial Sovereign had actually shown up in his true body.
The Martial Sovereign stared at Chu Yuan. That single look held the power to dominate the heavens and the earth, delivering a shockwave of pure martial intent.
“Martial Sovereign.”
In the face of the mighty Martial Sovereign, Chu Yuan felt no fear. He also intended to become a Sovereign, so why would he bow to other celestial beings?
Imperial realms were now too weak to challenge him; only a Sovereign could spark his fighting spirit, making him crave a true understanding of a Sovereign’s power.
A deceased Sovereign and a living one were two completely different things.
Today, with the Martial Sovereign’s true form present and Thunder’s will descending for the sake of this mysterious celestial emperor, the shockwaves of this event would be world-shaking if the news ever spread.
“Even the heavens can be broken.”
Chu Yuan’s eternal imperial power shifted into a blinding, divine radiance. His majesty as an emperor was so great that even against the Martial Sovereign, he could not be fully suppressed.
The Martial Sovereign did not waste words on Chu Yuan.
The strike of a Sovereign is incomparably devastating.
He launched a direct attack, a massive Martial hand extending in a simple palm strike. Yet, it held the very heart of martial arts, designed to erase this man from existence.
He was the source of all martial arts; in every world, all martial Cultivation began with his teachings.
Thunder’s projection did not move.
This person was far too prideful; he had dared to turn down an invitation to the Thunder Realm, which was a massive honor.
In that case, let him suffer a crushing blow first.
Let him learn that without Thunder's protection, the Martial Sovereign would slaughter him without mercy. He needed to learn which side to choose.
Only someone like Thunder, a Sovereign equal to the Martial Sovereign, had the strength to defend him.
If he remained stubborn, Thunder’s ruthless nature would lead him to simply destroy the man himself.
At that same moment.
Watching the Martial Sovereign’s palm descend, Chu Yuan’s battle intent exploded. He channeled a strike filled with infinite power, meeting the attack head-on.
The collision shattered countless dimensions.
The space around Chu Yuan erupted in layers. The Martial Sovereign’s blow nearly shattered his physical form; had it not been for his immense strength, he would have died instantly.
“So this is the might of a Sovereign!”
Chu Yuan felt the terrifying weight of a Sovereign’s power, which felt like the heavens themselves. Every movement carried the will of the entire universe.
Furthermore, the Martial Sovereign was far from an average Sovereign.
“You truly do have some talent,” the Martial Sovereign remarked.
With a single exchange, he realized that while this man was not yet a Sovereign, he was incredibly powerful.
Those who grasped the will of Sovereigns were technically within that realm, but the fact that he could survive such a strike proved he was among the elite of the half-Sovereigns.
The Martial Sovereign’s wisdom had been correct; sending imperial realms to hunt him would have been a mistake.
The Martial Sovereign’s powerful frame loomed over Chu Yuan, appearing less like a person and more like an entire Sovereign world, pinning Chu Yuan down with unstoppable force.
Since the Martial Sovereign had decided to act, his goal was the total annihilation of Chu Yuan.
He intended to prove to the entire world that his Martial World reigned supreme because of him!
The Martial Sovereign threw a punch that dominated the heavens, possessing a mystery beyond compare. The power of Sovereigns surged like a flood of infinite martial secrets, each capable of wiping out imperial realms.
In conflicts between Sovereigns, the Martial Sovereign was the force that could topple even the king of Sovereigns.
“To prove the Dao through martial arts—this is the strength of the martial path. Despite the pressure of a Sovereign, I am eternally unbreakable!”
Chu Yuan’s figure grew equally massive and imposing. Amidst the crashing river of martial power, he shone with eternal light, remaining unbent through a thousand trials.
“She has arrived!”
Suddenly, Chu Yuan sensed the approach of another powerful will.
