Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2044: The Wheels of the Empire

The fallen Supreme Beings resting within the Heavenly Tomb have been entirely devoured, their essences refined into eternal energy that saturates every corner of the empire.

The might of the empire has surged to an absolute zenith.

Radiating outward, the eternal divine light has transformed into an irresistible, surging tide. Like a colossal wheel, the empire rotates with relentless momentum, grinding forward without any sign of halting.

Fated to either attain everlasting splendor through conquest or face total annihilation by the fires of war, the empire’s path is set.

This is the inescapable destiny of the empire.

"The Heavenly Tomb, the final stage of consumption!"

Even though the Supreme Beings have been absorbed, the ultimate moment of perfection is still on the horizon.

Ooooooooo!

As the imperial tide expands, a haunting, ghostly wailing suddenly vibrates through the air, and countless spirits of resentment converge into a single focal point.

Each shred of this lingering malice vibrates with a power that is profoundly sinister and malevolent.

A crimson downpour, resembling a most horrific curse, suddenly erupts and surges forth at this precise moment.

"The bottled-up resentment of the Supreme Beings has broken loose!"

Hu shouts out in alarm.

"The empire’s authority shall swallow everything,"

Chu Yuan declares coldly.

At that instant, the myriad resentments shift into swirling currents of air, blanketing a massive expanse of space to form a colossal, terrifying, and distorted face.

This massive visage is a conglomerate of countless smaller faces, a sight so ghastly it would cause one’s very soul to shudder in fear.

It has manifested, accompanied by the howling of ominous winds and the echoes of mourning.

The concentrated bitterness of the Supreme Beings.

Because the Supreme Beings are entities that transcend the heavens, their passing leaves behind a potent resentment that can manifest as a celestial curse.

Chu Yuan’s process of consumption has forced these many grievances to gather together.

The intensity of this resentment is horrifying, coalescing into a nightmare curse.

Even other Supreme Beings would dread being touched by such a curse of resentment, for it would pollute their worlds and disrupt the natural flow of their heavenly realms, bringing only ruin.

This wailing, sorrowful sound transforms into the most lethal curse and lunges toward the empire.

Rumble! The eternal divine light collides violently against the onslaught.

However, that massive, twisted face continues its charge, intent on shattering the Eternal Kingdom and turning its flourishing lands into a barren waste where no life can survive.

"I shall bring all under my suppression!"

Chu Yuan, possessing a sovereign and indomitable will, remains fearless.

The empire's power surges once more, reaching an unprecedented peak!

He anchors the heavens and the earth with his bare hands, standing resolute as the terrifying face approaches; nothing in existence possesses the strength to make him waver.

With a simple flick of his wrist, a blinding beam of divine light strikes the grimacing face, forcing it back.

The curse of resentment generated by the face is so potent that it actually sneers at the Eternal Kingdom. It is a truly bizarre and unsettling sight.

A single glimpse would be enough to shatter the foundation of an emperor-level expert’s heart.

Stronger curses of death continue to manifest.

"Enter!"

Chu Yuan commands with authority!

His hands extend with unimaginable scale, seizing the massive face and exerting a violent suction.

The grimacing face struggles to resist!

Bang! But as Chu Yuan’s strength swells, the entity stands no chance and is dragged by force into the heart of the empire.

While the empire remains radiant and glorious, the arrival of this face carves out a terrifying restricted zone as large as a galaxy, thick with the stench of dark resentment.

The face tries incessantly to break free, but the empire’s might keeps it under absolute subjugation.

"He is using raw power to forcibly suppress the Supreme Beings' resentment!"

Hu observes with a clear understanding.

Yet, this undoubtedly plants a massive hidden danger; while the Emperor can restrain it now with his current strength, it might explode outward when he attempts to ascend to the celestial realm.

It is effectively a ticking time bomb.

Chu Yuan is more aware of this reality than anyone.

But his self-confidence is unshakable and invincible.

He cannot yet wipe out the lingering will of the Supreme Beings, as annihilating such resentment requires power on their own level.

His strategy is to wait until he reaches the realm of the Supreme Beings to perform a grand reversal, flipping the very nature of this resentment and turning it into pure, radiant energy to feed the empire.

Once the resentment is locked within the empire, no other force can hinder its progress.

As the eternal divine light grows, the imperial tide has completely submerged the Heavenly Tomb, its brilliance now spilling over into the Heavenly Battlefield.

"The empire's reach has extended into the Heavenly Battlefield!"

The powerful experts of the empire witness this grand spectacle.

"That divine light... what is happening?"

"It is coming from the Heavenly Tomb; there is a massive disturbance there. Heavens, what kind of power is that?"

"Something is about to erupt!"

...

The Heavenly Battlefield is vastly larger than the Heavenly Tomb; though it holds fewer treasures, it is far less perilous, drawing many cultivators to explore its depths.

When they behold that divine light, it appears like a colossal star exploding, filling their hearts with instinctive dread.

That light is a tide that cannot be stopped.

Recently, the Heavenly Tomb had become so unstable that even some emperors feared to tread there.

"Fall back! Retreat now! No matter what this anomaly is, a terrifying power is breaking out!"

Those who roam the Heavenly Battlefield are no weaklings; realizing the danger, they immediately turn and flee at top speed.

Even if the explosion of divine light isn't aimed at them, the collateral damage would be devastating.

The scene looks like a panicked crowd escaping a mounting wildfire.

Not long after they began their flight, the sea of brilliance swept through and overtook them.

Rumble! Amidst a series of endless explosions, a peerless expert who had been Cultivating nearby trembled violently. He looked toward the light and shouted: "What is this radiance? What ancient upheaval is occurring in the Heavenly Tomb? This power carries an invincible will!"

This individual’s strength is immense, even greater than Hu’s.

His will has already touched the level of a Supreme Being, making him a semi-Supreme Being.

"Such a massive shift—something world-changing must be happening within the Heavenly Alliance. Hmph! Let me test the strength of this tide; I possess the will of a Supreme Being!"

This powerful figure is brimming with confidence.

He stares at the approaching eternal tide, a silver-white blade in his hand. Though it is not a Supreme Divine Artifact, it is infused with a Supreme Being’s will, granting it the power of a semi-Supreme level.

"Slash!"

He stands his ground against the tempest.

The strike is peerless, a blow meant to cleave through any obstacle, a slash so powerful it should be able to split the heavens themselves.

However, what happens next causes his face to pale.

His slash entered the eternal tide and simply disappeared like a pebble thrown into a vast ocean, failing to leave even a ripple.

"How can this be?"

He is stunned.

He realizes that the tide is not just energy; it feels like an eternal kingdom, a legendary realm ruled by a sovereign who can shake the foundations of the world.

The eternal tide crashes over him, and he is suddenly sent reeling, his body tossed aside by the impact.

He stops trying to fight it and immediately turns to flee, realizing that to stand against such a tide is to invite certain death.

Even a semi-Supreme Being is forced to run in panic before the empire’s eternal tide.

By this time, the divine radiance of the Eternal Kingdom has successfully blanketed the entire Heavenly Battlefield.
