Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2060: The Great Change Through the Ages
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Chu Yuan suppressed the Wretched Heaven, forcing it into the Sacrificial Altar.
Every ounce of its energy was offered to Chu Yuan and the Eternal Kingdom. This sacrifice catalyzed a transformation for the entire empire, elevating its citizens from the realm of mortals to that of gods.
Having seized the essence of the Wretched Heaven, Chu Yuan’s already vast power reached a threshold where he could take that final, decisive step at any moment.
His current state could no longer be classified as semi-heaven; he was now a quasi-heaven. There were no more obstacles in his path, only the act of the breakthrough itself remained.
The foundations for his ascension to become a true Heaven had been laid by the sacrifice of two supreme heavens.
"Source of Evil."
With a simple motion, Chu Yuan summoned the Source of Evil to float before him.
This Supreme Divine Artifact was saturated with terrifying malice. Any ordinary Heavenly Emperor attempting to wield it would suffer immediate backlash and certain death. However, Chu Yuan had no plans to destroy the item; he intended to keep it.
"Evil will exist as long as there are sentient beings; it is a force that must be vented. I shall enthrone the Source of Evil within my empire to soak up the world's endless malice, transforming it into the true origin of all evil."
With a surge of his power, Chu Yuan swallowed and stored the Source of Evil.
He was also well aware of the current situation.
An immediate surprise attack on other heavens was no longer feasible.
The demise of the Wretched Heaven would be detected by the other heavens shortly. His presence would be revealed to all, and they would surely become guarded against him.
With their guard up, the tactics he used to trap the Wretched Heaven would be useless.
Of course.
He remained unconcerned.
His next priority was to immediately ascend to heavenly power. Once he attained the rank of Heaven, his strength would grow beyond all comparison.
At that stage, he would simply dominate through absolute, overwhelming power.
Meanwhile.
Yanran was besieged by the combined forces of numerous heavens. They had surrounded her completely, weaving a lethal trap designed to ensure she had no hope of survival.
"Reincarnation Heaven, your era has reached its conclusion!"
The various heavens remained deeply suspicious and wary of the Reincarnation Heaven.
"The beginning of the primal, the end of the primal!"
The Primordial Heaven unleashed a devastatingly powerful spell. A great circle, representing the cycle of beginning and end, stretched across the sky and descended in a fierce assault.
Countless mirrored surfaces were formed by the Reincarnation Divine Light.
As the Primordial Heaven’s strike landed, a strange phenomenon occurred. The attack passed harmlessly through the Reincarnation Heaven’s form, as if it were merely a reflection on a pool of water.
"The Reincarnation of All Worlds Technique!"
The Primordial Heaven’s expression darkened, his brows knitting together.
The abilities of the Reincarnation Heaven were notoriously difficult to deal with. Had they not been, everyone would have assumed she was permanently erased during the ancient Heaven War.
Yet, here she was, standing right before them.
Such is the nature of reincarnation; she appeared eternally invincible, with no known method to truly end her existence.
Furthermore, while her offensive capabilities might not seem overwhelming, that was only when compared to the brutal, destructive power of figures like Martial and Thunder.
"She is utilizing her reincarnation technique to manifest a personal dimension of rebirth, traveling within its folds!"
The Primordial Heaven observed.
"Sea of Blood Boundless!"
A massive, surging torrent of blood swept across the battlefield. It was saturated with incredibly pure energy and filled with countless devouring vortices.
The Reincarnation Heaven’s gaze sharpened. She abruptly emerged from her reincarnation dimension and raised a palm, striking out with a single motion.
The vast sea of blood instantly shattered and collapsed.
"Martial Arts!"
Martial capitalized on the opening, launching a direct and simple punch. Though it lacked flair, the strike held the profound essence of ten thousand martial arts.
However, as the fist arrived, it was pierced by the Reincarnation Divine Light, rendering the impact hollow.
"Too strange!"
Even Martial’s peerless strength found it nearly impossible to land a solid blow against Yanran’s power at this moment.
"This is the Reincarnation Technique!"
Did they truly believe these heavens were hunting her simply because of the Sun and Moon Heaven's death, or because she sided with the Heaven’s King?
Nothing is done without profit, even among the supreme heavens.
The previous reasons were mere pretenses.
Their actual target was the Reincarnation Technique held by the Reincarnation Heaven.
"Indeed, Reincarnation Heaven, you were the Heaven’s King's most trusted subordinate, personally mentored by him. Your Reincarnation Technique is truly profound. However, you should have remained dead after the Heaven War; there is no place for you in this world anymore!"
A powerful and ancient heaven, radiating intense killing intent, exerted immense pressure on Yanran.
Just as they prepared to resume their onslaught, an omen of celestial doom suddenly fell upon the realm.
"A heaven has perished! Another heaven has fallen!"
"Which one was it?"
"The Wretched Heaven! It was he who was slain!"
The sudden death of the Wretched Heaven caused even the gathered heavens to pause in shock.
"It’s him!"
Martial and Thunder were the first to peer through space-time. They saw Chu Yuan’s dominant and invincible figure standing atop an altar, staring coldly back at them from the distance.
"He has not yet reached the realm of Heaven, yet he is already a quasi-heaven!"
The aura radiating from Chu Yuan sent tremors through the various heavens.
While the Wretched Heaven was considered mediocre among his peers and often looked down upon by the elite, a heaven was still a heaven—they were not supposed to be easily killed.
Yet, he had been wiped out by Chu Yuan's hands just like that.
This realization was far more terrifying than the Reincarnation Heaven.
"Such a thing is unprecedented. Someone has actually killed a heaven without being one themselves! This is that Divine Martial, the one who consumed the Heavenly Tomb!"
"Reincarnation Heaven was merely the distraction, buying him the time needed to execute the Wretched Heaven!"
"A massive shift is coming. This man’s rise alongside the Reincarnation Heaven—what could this portend!"
The hearts of the heavens were filled with unease.
Suddenly, a weight of immeasurable pressure radiated from Chu Yuan’s position. Martial appeared instantly beside him, throwing a punch capable of ending worlds.
"Martial!"
Chu Yuan’s eyes flared with an equal measure of murderous intent toward Martial.
His quasi-heavenly power erupted as he threw a counter-punch toward the heavens, clashing directly with Martial.
The impact of those two fists was like a cataclysmic explosion.
Chu Yuan stood his ground, his body unmoving and unyielding against the violent shockwaves as he met Martial’s strike head-on.
Martial’s momentum was halted.
He could feel clearly that Chu Yuan’s strength was far greater than before; he no longer possessed the absolute power required to suppress this man.
"You are certainly an interesting one!"
Martial’s power was world-shaking. He unleashed a concentrated barrage of countless martial arts, his supreme martial fist descending from above as his divine form pressed forward relentlessly.
"My power is without limit!"
Standing upon the altar, Chu Yuan punched out again. It was the Sovereign’s punch—a blow that dominated the world and pulverized all martial divine power.
This clash did not give Chu Yuan the upper hand, but he suffered no injury either.
However, the implications were staggering: one combatant was merely a quasi-heaven, while the other, Martial, was at the absolute peak of the heavens.
"The presence of Reincarnation and this man is a curse upon the heavenly realm. The fastest and simplest path is to erase them both. No interference with the natural order of the heavens can be allowed to persist!"
One of the heavens spoke out; total annihilation was the only logical answer.
The other heavens did not object. They would not tolerate any anomalies that threatened the stability of the heavenly realm.
"Where did I originate? Does this path have a conclusion? Does the sky have a boundary?"
