Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2040: 2040: Helpless

In a clash of raw power, those in the Emperor realm are typically no match for an Almighty; they must depend on various Divine Abilities just to bridge the gap.

One stands as the architect of the heavens and earth.

The other merely exists within them.

Because their fundamental levels are so disparate, a true comparison seems impossible.

The Malevolent Almighty intended to exploit this, seeking to crush Chu Yuan completely. He believed that when faced with absolute strength, all schemes and clever tricks become meaningless.

As their two forces collided, the Earth-Shattering tremors caused everything to freeze, trapped in a bizarre state of total stillness.

Under the pressure of these two titans, countless living beings were forced to their knees.

“Before an Almighty, you are nothing!”

The Malevolent Almighty’s consciousness radiated a freezing chill, launching a physical and mental assault on Chu Yuan.

However, Chu Yuan’s power surged violently. His eternal divine light remained highly concentrated and indestructible, refusing to waver under the Malevolent Almighty’s interference.

The battle suddenly ground to a halt.

The Malevolent Almighty was stunned to find that even his peak suppression could not force the man to break. He wondered what kind of power this person wielded that even an Almighty could not fully dominate him.

Eternal Devouring!

Chu Yuan unleashed a ferocious devouring aura. The moment the Malevolent Almighty’s source energy surged forward, he transformed it through his devouring power, absorbing it to fuel his own strength.

“You dare to consume my source!”

The Malevolent Almighty realized what was happening immediately.

He felt a profound sense of disgrace.

To have his energy devoured by a subordinate was a direct insult to an Almighty.

“I will make you suffer the most agonizing price!”

Becoming even more enraged, the Malevolent Almighty severed the flow of his source. An oppressive force crashed down as his palms warped space-time, manifesting the Malevolent Space-Time.

“You are merely my touchstone.”

Chu Yuan spoke calmly, even while facing such a brutal onslaught.

“A touchstone? Such arrogance!”

The Malevolent Almighty, never one for patience, recalled how Chu Yuan had drained his energy. To be called a "touchstone" suggested that Chu Yuan intended to use him as a mere stepping stone to reach the Almighty rank.

His fury exploded, his eyes burning with literal fire.

He unleashed the unrestricted power of an Almighty. The Malevolent world was flooded with thoughts designed to induce insanity and hopelessness—a terrifying strike aimed at the level of the will.

With the momentum of the heavens themselves, the Malevolent Almighty charged forward.

But.

Chu Yuan’s greatest strength now lay within his will.

Their two mentalities clashed with violent intensity.

“Pool of Sin!”

The Malevolent Almighty finally summoned his Supreme Divine Artifact.

A massive pool appeared, suspended in space-time and filled with churning sources of sin. Its dark, viscous liquid could corrupt anyone, dragging even the most virtuous into depravity.

This malevolent energy was designed to twist beauty into filth.

Floating within this Pool of Sin was a colossal orb of a mysterious, shifting color: the Sin Orb.

The Malevolent Almighty had established the Land of Sin specifically to harvest sinful energies and empower this Supreme Divine Artifact.

Bang! A deluge of malevolent water cascaded down, sealing the surrounding space-time. The flood crashed over Chu Yuan while the orb radiated a peak evil will.

“Your fate is sealed!”

The Malevolent Almighty spoke as if decreeing an absolute truth.

Standing amidst the ocean of filth, Chu Yuan remained untouched. His eternal, indestructible light and resolute spirit ignored the Almighty’s destruction. A brilliant divine radiance pierced through the seal.

He suddenly vaulted into the sky, radiating the aura of an Emperor overlord as he clashed directly with the Almighty’s pressure.

“You still resist!”

The Malevolent Almighty gave a cold sneer.

He intensified the flood of malevolence, making it even more vicious.

However, his expression shifted abruptly.

A strange weapon appeared in Chu Yuan’s grip. As he channeled his power through it, the weapon became a cataclysm, shredding through the layers of the oceanic force.

Using the Cataclysmic Blade, Chu Yuan sliced through the Malevolent Almighty’s defenses like a falling star.

The sheer force of the strike felt as though it could tear the sky apart!

He swung the weapon with a thunderous blast, hitting the Pool of Sin directly.

Even though the Pool of Sin was shielded by distorted time-space, the Cataclysmic Blade ripped through it easily, delivering a direct impact.

The Pool of Sin shuddered. Countless formations within it shattered, and its internal structure became instantly volatile.

Chu Yuan’s gaze was sharp and piercing.

The pool had been crafted from thousands of Supreme Divine Stones.

Yet, under the relentless assault of the Cataclysmic Blade, the pool suffered catastrophic damage, with cracks spreading across its surface.

“A Supreme Divine Artifact! You intend to ruin my Pool of Sin!”

The Malevolent Almighty was both terrified and livid.

He never imagined his opponent would possess a Supreme Divine Artifact, let alone one with such overwhelming destructive power.

It was a situation he could not tolerate.

The Pool of Sin served as the vessel for his Source of Sin, the Sin Orb.

As the Cataclysmic Blade struck again, the Sin Orb was forced to fly out. If it didn't block the attack now, the pool would be pulverized.

When the Sin Orb and the Cataclysmic Blade collided, a bone-chilling sound rang out.

Crack! A small fracture appeared on the Sin Orb.

Though the crack was tiny and nearly invisible, the Malevolent Almighty felt the damage as a sharp, physical pain.

It was logical; the Sin Orb was a domain-focused Supreme Divine Artifact, whereas the Cataclysmic Blade was a weapon of pure offense.

Unmoved, Chu Yuan cut through the vast ocean of evil, raising the Cataclysmic Blade to strike once more.

“How dare you!”

A roar like thunder erupted.

The Malevolent Almighty could no longer risk the Sin Orb in a direct clash. He stepped in personally, flooding his arms with malevolent power to intercept the blade.

He had vastly underestimated the Cataclysmic Blade.

Empowered by Chu Yuan’s Almighty will, the weapon unleashed the cataclysm of heaven and the calamity of the Almighty. It hammered the Malevolent Almighty with a series of devastating blows.

“This is impossible!”

The Malevolent Almighty was gripped by shock and rage.

The Cataclysmic Blade held a power capable of unmaking an Almighty’s world, triggering a collapse of their very essence.

He was fortunate they weren't inside his own Almighty realm; otherwise, the damage would have been far more permanent.

He stared at Chu Yuan, momentarily paralyzed by the sheer difficulty of the fight.

He never expected such a formidable opponent to appear.

Though he wasn't the most powerful Almighty, he was still a being of that rank.

“I will not let it end this way!”

The Malevolent Almighty refused to accept this conclusion.

“Malevolence, you did not know your place when you challenged me. This is the lesson I leave you with.”

Chu Yuan swung the Cataclysmic Blade in a rapid succession of strikes.

He looked down at the Malevolent Almighty with cold indifference. Having deciphered the extent of the other's power, he felt no more pressure and lost interest in the fight.

Exuding the presence of a ruling Emperor, the Eternal Gate manifested before him. Without a second thought, he stepped through.

The Malevolent Almighty threw his power against the Eternal Gate, but he was unable to stop Chu Yuan's exit. He could only watch as the man vanished from his sight.

Just as Chu Yuan departed, another figure within the Land of Sin silently disappeared as well.
