Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2045: Take Action Immediately [Part 3]

The eternal divine light resembled a boundless ocean as it surged across the Heavenly Battlefield, submerging every corner. This signaled that the empire had successfully enveloped the entire battlefield, integrating it into its own territory.

What an awe-inspiring display of divine power!

The Heavenly Battlefield ceased to exist, relegated to the annals of history.

Within the empire's borders, monumental shifts were already taking place. As the Heavenly Battlefield was absorbed, the transforming energy converted the empire into a realm of pure, radiant light.

The very fabric of existence was being fortified, prepared to ascend in tandem with the world’s evolution.

Every citizen of the empire reaped the rewards of this growth.

"The Imperial Realm is within our reach!"

The supreme powerhouses standing at the apex of the Eternal Path—including Hongmeng, the Long-living Great Emperor, the Poison Ancestor, the God, the Demon, the Mystic, the Dao, and the Underworld—all received incredible advantages.

Their comprehension of the Imperial Realm deepened with every passing moment.

When the empire eventually ascends to the Heavenly Realm, a cataclysmic transformation is certain to occur; by being part of the empire's foundation, they are guaranteed to benefit from this momentum.

This surge of power will carry them directly into the Imperial Realm.

They are destined to become true Heavenly Emperors, not just standard Masters of high standing.

In the days to come, such massive benefits might become rare.

However, if Chu Yuan can conquer more heavens and seize their essence by force, using external resources to construct an even more vast heaven, their rise will continue unabated.

"Now that the empire has devoured the Heavenly Battlefield, its foundation in the Heavenly Realm is truly solidified."

Chu Yuan’s gaze was vast and profound, piercing through infinite layers of worlds.

Previously, the empire remained concealed within the Heavenly Tomb, shielded by chaotic laws, but now it would announce itself to all the heavens, making his presence known to all.

This was the unavoidable path of the empire’s growth; no truly powerful empire can stay hidden forever, nor did he have any desire to do so.

Next.

Chu Yuan was well aware that even greater trials lay ahead.

But it was these very challenges that kept his spirit burning bright.

He looked forward to them with great anticipation.

"From nothingness, existence is born. The very first Heavenly King of this realm was the Heavenly King. In those ancient times, the heavens were not even a fraction of their current size, having been built by the Heavenly King and his peers. However, burgeoning ambition and a refusal to accept the Heavenly King’s peace sparked the conflict to depose him—the Heavenly War."

Chu Yuan’s voice echoed throughout the empire, reaching the ears of every citizen.

"From nothingness, existence is born."

Hu pondered these words deeply, reflecting, "The Heavenly Realm has its limits, yet it is also infinitely expansive."

"Every heaven is a world brought to perfection by a distinct Dao. Unity cannot be reached through mere peace or ideology; it requires the pioneering of immense power. By becoming the ultimate sovereign and uniting through the empire’s might, the final path can be forged."

Chu Yuan proclaimed.

"Using the empire as our base to encompass many heavens, making each heaven a part of the whole to create infinite worlds!"

Hu, possessing great wisdom, listened to Chu Yuan and felt himself drawing closer to the realm of the heavens.

He was undergoing a transformation; ever since he joined the empire and allowed his world to merge with it, he had cast aside all distractions to seize this golden opportunity.

"From nothingness, existence is born; within infinity, create more infinity."

This decree from Chu Yuan spread like wildfire across the empire.

From nothingness, existence was birthed, giving rise to the Heavenly Realm.

And to create infinity within infinity meant to expand the boundaries of the Heavenly Realm at an exponential rate.

Countless individuals fell into deep meditation, many gaining profound insights from these words.

"Yanran, I am prepared and waiting for you within the empire!"

Once the Heavenly Battlefield was fully consumed, Chu Yuan sent a transmission to Yanran, signaling that the time for the sacrifices to the heavens had arrived.

To him, waiting for slow accumulation was merely a waste of time and an unnecessary delay.

The hunt for the heavens was ready to commence.

He knew that once this journey started, there would be no turning back and no path for retreat.

His message was sent; as soon as Yanran received it, she would arrive instantly.

"The Heavenly Battlefield is gone, and the Heavenly Tomb has vanished with it. An eternal empire now stands where the Heavenly Tomb once was—an empire that has swallowed the heavens to raise its own status. It is known as the Divine Martial Empire, ruled by the Divine Martial Heavenly Emperor."

The eyes of all the heavens were now fixed upon it.

To the various heavens, the loss of the Heavenly Tomb was not a major concern.

Devouring the Heavenly Tomb wasn't the most difficult feat; the true trial was withstanding the lingering resentment of five fallen celestial beings.

To them, having the power to devour but being unable to suppress that celestial spite was a fools' errand.

Dead celestial beings held very little worth.

They also noted that the empire had not yet transcended the Heavenly Realm.

"How arrogant and foolish, trying to take shortcuts to reach celestial status without the necessary eons of accumulation. Every celestial being is the product of vast history. Such a reckless path means Divine Martial will meet a grizzly end; the moment he attempts to become celestial, his empire will crumble and he will perish from the backlash."

The will of the various heavens circulated, with many believing the Divine Martial Empire was simply committing suicide.

The wills of those five fallen celestials, combined with the pressure from various Heavenly Emperors, could easily wipe the empire out.

Still, if he managed to crush those five wills, it would prove that the Divine Martial Emperor was no ordinary man.

One of the celestials remarked, "He might have reached celestial status normally, but by consuming the Heavenly Tomb, his progress will be stunted. The heavens cannot be reached through such gimmicks."

"Divine Martial Empire, Divine Martial Emperor!"

The Martial Will felt a resonance.

The Martial Celestial stood in a void that seemed to exist outside of time and space, his sharp eyes cutting through the firmament to suddenly lock onto the location of the Divine Martial Empire.

"It is him!"

His focus was not on the empire itself, but on the Divine Martial Emperor.

This was the man who had previously insulted his authority.

In the beginning, he couldn't identify the mysterious Heavenly Emperor, but seeing the Divine Martial Empire now made everything clear—it was him.

Unlike the other celestials, he thought more deeply on the matter.

"He is closely tied to the Reincarnation Celestial; he must know the dangers of devouring the Heavenly Tomb, yet he did it anyway. Perhaps with the Reincarnation Celestial's help, he has a hidden trump card!"

The Martial Celestial noted.

Suddenly, beneath his gaze, a peerless figure associated with the cycles of eternity appeared.

Her vision crossed infinite skies, instantly locating the Martial Celestial. With a casual wave of her hand, the Reincarnation Divine Light shot forth, striking toward the Martial Celestial’s position.

The Martial Celestial blocked the attack with a thunderous punch.

With a cold tone, he said, "Reincarnation Celestial, a clever move. You share a bond with someone who hasn't even reached celestial status—you clearly have a scheme. The age of the Heavenly King is over and it will never come back!"

He felt a strong urge to destroy the Divine Martial Empire, but the Reincarnation Celestial was standing guard.

The Reincarnation Celestial remained silent, watching the Martial Celestial for a moment before entering the Divine Martial Empire.

"Yanran, you’ve arrived. I am ready. Our strategy must begin now—we cannot afford to wait. You have identified your celestial targets, and we will strike at once."

Chu Yuan communicated with Yanran immediately.
