Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2038: 2038: The Wicked Overlord of Heaven

The interior and exterior were two entirely separate realms.

From the outside, the area appeared bathed in divine radiance, overflowing with the essence of the Heavenly Origin. It looked like a luminous pure land and a sacred site for Cultivation, more than enough to entice many to enter and seek enlightenment within.

However, the reality inside was different.

It was an Asura Field.

Turmoil, carnage, and bloodshed were omnipresent.

Such an environment was clearly not a product of nature.

It felt as though a massive, spectral eye was perpetually watching, while an invisible, intangible palm steered the course of events here.

With a single sweep of his perception, Chu Yuan realized that Cultivation resources were plentiful in this place; one only needed sufficient strength to seize them.

Yet, the suffocating atmosphere drove every inhabitant to the brink of insanity, cultivating endless sins. It was a place of despair, far more brutal than even Hell itself.

When pushed to the edge of despair, people are capable of anything beyond the limits of morality.

While the Eternal Road also carries the curse of the Eternal Calamity, that despair is of a completely different nature. At the very least, its aura remains bright, whereas this place was dismal and devoid of a single ray of light.

“A reconstructed Land of Sin born of hopelessness.”

Chu Yuan’s expression remained detached.

He prepared to step forward and depart from this heavenly world, intending to cross out of its boundaries.

But at the exact moment he moved to leave, a boundless will locked onto his position.

Rumble! Amidst the churning gray mist, a colossal vortex manifested, shaping itself into a repulsive, rotting evil hand.

This evil hand was truly horrific, possessing the power to overturn the firmament and the raw strength required to slay those at the Emperor level.

Any soul within this heavenly realm attempting to depart would be forced to endure the strike of this heavenly hand.

“Precisely as I suspected.”

Confronted by the descending evil hand, Chu Yuan’s face did not flicker. In the midst of the darkness, he lashed out with a palm strike. A flash of eternal brilliance sliced through the gloom, instantly clashing with the opposing force.

The impact of these two powers generated a violent hurricane.

“To depart, one must first accumulate an adequate amount of Sin Points.”

A fragment of heavenly will pierced deep into Chu Yuan’s soul, delivered as an absolute command that brooked no defiance.

These so-called Sin Points functioned similarly to merit contributions in this world. They could be traded for any resource, including imperial weapons, Heavenly Divine Stones, and even the right to leave.

However, the only way to earn Sin Points was through slaughter and the commission of countless atrocities.

“Do you truly believe you can prevent Me from departing?”

Chu Yuan’s gaze grew freezing. Though he had already discerned the nature of this place, he hadn't intended to interfere. But now, as he sought to leave, he found himself obstructed by a heavenly power.

He radiated a brilliant light, his imperial majesty surging outward and shredding the restrictive laws of the seal.

The terrifying heavenly will boiled as dark energy rolled forth, forming a gargantuan face. It was profoundly wicked, the mere sight of it capable of instilling deep-seated terror in one's heart.

This was the manifestation of the heavens, a projection of its will.

“The laws of Heaven do not tolerate disobedience.”

This heaven possessed an absolute ego, refusing to allow any rebellion against its dictates. Those who dared to resist would find themselves without a grave.

The massive face pressed downward, wielding the most malevolent power and surrounded by the weight of infinite sins.

Pushing his palm forward, Chu Yuan summoned a vast beam of eternal divine light. It shot directly toward the giant face, shattering it into pieces instantly.

His grand imperial form stepped forward, carrying a boundless light that washed away the shadows.

He would dare to fight even if the true incarnations of Martial and Thunder Heaven stood before him, let alone a mere fragment of will.

“Evil Heaven, I have already uncovered your true identity.”

Chu Yuan stood firm. As his light expanded, the evil heavenly forces outside were unable to get near him.

“When an Eternal Emperor enters the domain of this Heaven, there is only one possible destiny.”

A malicious and wicked voice rang out. Realizing that this intruder was no ordinary Emperor and would not be easily handled, the true form began to manifest.

He lacked the majestic, domineering presence of Martial or Thunder.

He emerged from a fold in space-time that was incomprehensible to the common man. Heavenly Qi coalesced into a stagnant, dull mist, and within it, only a faint, towering shadow could be discerned.

Usually, the heavens manifest only as a will; if the physical form appears, it possesses the power to suppress the entire Emperor realm.

Chu Yuan’s eyes were incredibly sharp, cutting through the haze to see the heaven as an elderly man. His aura corrupted light and order, and his face was twisted with extreme malice.

Evil Heaven.

During his time on the Heavenly Battlefield, Chu Yuan had killed many and searched their memories. Through this, he had gained a general understanding of the various heavenly powers within the heavenly realm.

This entity known as Evil Heaven had attained the Dao following the Great Battle of Heavens.

He commanded the power of the Evil Legion and was defined by sin and wickedness—a being of incredible cruelty and brutality.

Such dark forces would never have been permitted to exist during the era of the Heavenly King.

This heavenly world served as his personal estate.

He had seized a fallen heavenly world and sealed it off, allowing countless lives to be born within so they could slaughter one another, transforming the realm into the ultimate Land of Sin.

He masterfully wielded the power of evil, finding pleasure in watching the cycle of sinful carnage.

The promise that one could leave by gathering enough Sin Points was nothing more than a blatant lie.

The fools who believed they could escape failed to realize that the moment they stepped out, they would enter Evil Heaven's primary world. There, their souls would be enslaved, turning them into his mindless puppets.

His Evil Legion had been built through this exact method.

“Since you recognize this Heaven, then fall to your knees and confess your sins before me!”

The voice of Evil Heaven boomed. His heavenly prestige placed him far above any Emperor, and he would not permit his status to be insulted.

Even though Chu Yuan had used his powerful techniques to rip through the evil Qi of Heaven, in the perspective of the heavens, an Emperor could never truly challenge the sky.

His potent will morphed into a fountainhead of evil, weighing heavily upon Chu Yuan in an attempt to force him to bow.

“Is this supposed to be your majesty?”

Chu Yuan let out a cold laugh.

His own will surged back in retaliation, crushing everything in its path.

Not all heavens were equal; the power wielded by this Evil Heaven was not even comparable to that of Martial or Thunder.

“You shall soon experience the methods of this Heaven.”

Evil Heaven’s face wore a twisted, sinister grin. Countless dark plots flickered through his mind.

He could see that Chu Yuan was an exceptionally powerful Emperor—one at the peak of the realm—possessing immense pride and an unbreakable spirit.

Such individuals were rare, yet the heavens generally did not hold an Emperor in high regard.

He harbored intense, malicious intent.

The more dominant and arrogant a person was, the more he enjoyed breaking them.

He planned to seize Chu Yuan and cast him into the Land of Sin, using every agonizing method to torture him. He wanted him to taste absolute despair and force him to commit every imaginable sin.

For Evil Heaven, absorbing the energy of sin was a vital part of his Cultivation.

The more chaotic his heavenly world became and the thicker the aura of sin grew, the more his own power would increase.

“You shall be integrated into this Heaven’s Evil Legion. Heaven hereby bestows upon you the gift of evil power.”
