Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2046: Sun and Moon Sovereign
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The Heavenly Tomb vanished, replaced by the emergence of the Eternal Kingdom. Simultaneously, a formidable presence known as the Martial Emperor manifested within the Celestial Realm.
While this caused a few ripples of interest, it failed to trigger a significant upheaval.
The Celestials remain distant and lofty, detached from the trivialities of the world. Unless a conflict involves the actual demise of a Celestial, they rarely pay heed, even to the birth of a new peer.
However, Chu Yuan is currently planning an earth-shattering event in consultation with Yanran.
They intend to sacrifice a Celestial!
Should this objective be realized, it would undoubtedly ignite a bloody storm and cause limitless chaos throughout the entire Celestial Realm.
"Very well, Chu Yuan. Your power has currently reached its zenith. The subsequent step is your ascension to the realm of the Celestials. By combining your authority with my strength, we will certainly succeed."
With a single look, Yanran perceived that Chu Yuan was even more potent than during his duel with the Celestial of Martial Arts, radiating a presence capable of shattering the heavens and the earth.
"Indeed, as the Emperor, I must attain the status of a Celestial first. Only with a Celestial's power can I stabilize the realm. Afterward, I shall silence every dissenting voice!"
Chu Yuan asked, "Yanran, tell me, who do we deal with first?"
"The Celestial of Sun and Moon!" Yanran proclaimed!
"The Celestial of Sun and Moon?"
Searching his expansive memories, Chu Yuan recalled the Celestial of Sun and Moon. This was an ancient and mighty figure who existed before the great war of the Celestials, possessing strength far superior to the Celestial of Great Evil.
This being governs the forces of the sun and moon, as well as the transition of day and night.
"Exactly, this Celestial of Sun and Moon," Yanran explained. "I am quite familiar with him. During the Celestial War, upon the fall of the Celestial King, his essence was carved up. The Celestial of Sun and Moon claimed the Celestial King’s eyes, refining the left into the sun and the right into the moon."
He had actually transformed the Celestial King’s eyes into Divine Artifacts!
The Celestial King’s remains were a hoard of treasures. His death served as a banquet for the Celestials of that era, who divided whatever spoils they could grab.
"Slay the Celestial of Sun and Moon."
A killing intent radiated from Yanran as she spoke, "Sacrifice his Celestial world to fuel your Eternal Kingdom. Reclaim the eyes of the Celestial King to serve as the sun and moon of your own domain, lighting your world and solidifying the foundation of your Eternal Kingdom!"
Her decision to target the Celestial of Sun and Moon was calculated based on the immense advantages and power it would provide to the Eternal Kingdom.
"I have no objections. We cannot afford delay. We shall depart and strike him down immediately, utilizing swift and thunderous tactics so that resistance is impossible. Once the Celestial of Sun and Moon falls, the Celestial Realm will be thrown into turmoil, but the matter will already be decided."
Chu Yuan’s resolve was unwavering!
The execution of a Celestial was a truly monumental task.
Though some Celestials were currently observing the Empire, they were not overly concerned. Such apathy would vanish the moment a Celestial was actually killed.
"Yanran, together, we shall initiate a glorious new age!"
Following their discussion, Chu Yuan and Yanran immediately initiated a space-time traversal, locking onto the coordinates of the Celestial of Sun and Moon to transport themselves.
In regions lacking a Celestial Sovereign, their arrival would be instantaneous.
However, the defenses of the Sun and Moon realm were formidable; they could only reach the exterior world barrier and were unable to bypass it directly. The closer they approached, the more likely the Celestial of Sun and Moon would detect their presence.
"Chu Yuan, the realm of Sun and Moon lies ahead."
The pair came to a halt.
They looked upon a boundless world enveloped in thick layers of elemental energy—a Celestial world that radiated divine and majestic light from its core.
Chu Yuan observed that the Sun and Moon realm was expanding continuously, growing outward rather than inward toward the Celestial Realm.
Every Celestial is perpetually engaged in the creation of a grander universe.
With a piercing gaze, he looked through the barrier to find the interior bathed in the light of dusk—a fading yet beautiful hue marking the moment the sun sets and the moon ascends.
In this realm, the sun and moon occupied the sky simultaneously.
Those were the eyes of the Celestial King, fully evolved into Divine Artifacts!
"The rising moon, the setting sun—the eternal cycle of heaven and earth. I have clashed with the Celestial of Great Evil, but the might of the Celestial of Sun and Moon is on a different level entirely."
Chu Yuan analyzed the scene with a single look.
"Chu Yuan, the Celestial of Sun and Moon is already aware of our arrival," Yanran noted.
"If he knows, it matters not. Words are unnecessary. You and I will invade his Celestial realm, locate the true body of the Celestial of Sun and Moon, and execute him," Chu Yuan declared.
"While the Sun and Moon realm is home to many powerful beings, it does not match the Martial realm. Aside from the Celestial himself, there are numerous Heavenly Emperors. Two are particularly renowned: the Radiant Sun Emperor and the Glorious Moon Emperor, representing the twin powers. Though they have not attained the rank of Celestial, they carry a Celestial's will and act as his primary subordinates," Yanran explained.
The Radiant Sun Emperor. The Glorious Moon Emperor.
These two Heavenly Emperors had been carefully groomed by the Celestial of Sun and Moon, who had poured immense resources into them.
It was his great ambition that these two would reach the Celestial realm, serving as minor Celestials within his own domain.
Should the sun and moon both ascend to Celestial status, his own power as the primary Celestial would be bolstered significantly.
However, even with the gift of a Celestial's will and his constant support, reaching that level remained an incredibly difficult feat.
"Once we begin, Yanran, you will first pin down the Celestial of Sun and Moon. I will then strike, eliminating every Heavenly Emperor in the Sun and Moon realm as quickly as possible. I will dismantle their foundations before joining you to finish the job," Chu Yuan planned.
He recognized that this first mission to slay a Celestial would be his most vital and grueling test.
The beginning is always the hardest part, but once the path is cleared, the rest will follow more easily.
If one were to categorize Celestial power, figures like Martial, Thunder, God, and Devil are at the top. The Celestial of Sun and Moon is considered a high-tier power.
In contrast, the Celestial of Great Evil is merely average.
Yanran is also a top-tier Celestial, wielding the profound and enigmatic power of reincarnation.
With her elite strength, she possessed enough raw power to suppress the Celestial of Sun and Moon.
"Celestial of Reincarnation, you have returned."
At that moment, a voice resonated from within the sun and moon—the Celestial of Sun and Moon himself. He did not show his physical form, appearing instead as a massive, blurred silhouette.
He was uncertain of Yanran's motives but could sense a clear killing intent and a lack of friendly intentions.
"And the one who rose within the Heavenly Tomb, the Martial God."
The gaze of the Celestial of Sun and Moon fixed upon Chu Yuan.
He wondered what these two were doing at the threshold of his realm, though he felt no fear.
"If you come as guests, you are welcome. If you come as enemies, I shall not tremble before you, even if you are the Celestial of Reincarnation."
The Celestial of Sun and Moon suspected they were there for trouble, but his focus remained almost entirely on the Celestial of Reincarnation.
The Celestial of Reincarnation was famous as a top-tier power.
Even so, he was confident in his own defenses.
As for Chu Yuan.
He clearly held some level of power.
Yet, because he was not a Celestial, he was viewed as a minor figure who didn't require much attention.
It appeared he had successfully consumed the Heavenly Tomb, likely with the assistance of the Celestial of Reincarnation.
"Yanran, let us begin. I shall use the Blade of Catastrophe to tear through his Sun and Moon realm."
Chu Yuan moved into action immediately, ending the conversation right then and there.
