Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2088: Summoning the Mind

The gods made their move.

While the demon's death held no importance to him, every supreme entity within this lofty heavenly domain served as hurdles and adversaries in his way. Still, for such beings to fall under his strike, it must never happen through the Martial Emperor's intervention.

Should he eliminate a supreme entity, his power would surge forward in yet another massive advancement.

The foes' might turns into their own harsh torment.

Divine energy magnificently surged against the flow of the Chu Yuan epoch, clashing fiercely in opposition.

"Rescue the demon!"

Right then, various powers crashed down together, allying with the gods in unison.

These supreme entities refused to simply observe the demon's destruction at Chu Yuan's hands.

"Good!"

The demon spotted a chance, launching skyward as his fiendish form expanded rapidly, unleashing a savage rush. Demonic essence blanketed the firmament, coordinating from within and without to shatter Chu Yuan’s barrier.

Such colossal energies targeted Chu Yuan all at once, poised to obliterate the cosmos and erase all traces of existence.

Yet Chu Yuan remained utterly composed. Grasping the cosmos within his grasp, his power warped intensely, and right as the demon neared escape, a thunderous boom rang out, birthing a void of darkness.

Beneath this collision, the demon burst apart as well.

The surging Demonic Qi got terrifyingly drawn into the black hole.

"He's consuming my essence!"

The demon sensed his core rapidly fading away, his spirit sinking deep. But with equal ruthlessness, he chopped off his limb to endure, forsaking a vast portion of his might, and finally escaped Chu Yuan’s containment.

In that instant, the mighty assaults from those supreme entities struck him full force, stirring endless tempests, yet Chu Yuan endured unmoved, appearing entirely unscathed.

Though a fragment of the demon’s power slipped away, Chu Yuan’s face showed no shift.

His piercing stare scanned the skies, proclaiming in a tone of utter dominance, "I stand here; who among you dares to face me?"

He was challenging them to combat.

But as his declaration echoed, silence gripped the heavens, with none stepping forward to confront Chu Yuan. His clash with the demon had already showcased his overwhelming prowess.

Even the god held back from acting now.

"Wu, you've attacked several times; I offer you a shot to duel me."

Chu Yuan straightly summoned Wu by name.

"Hmph!"

Wu wasn't naive; he understood he couldn't rival this figure at present, and he certainly wouldn't leap out claiming a desire for an even contest.

Should fairness exist, the supreme beings' conflict would never have ignited, with countless supreme entities banding together against the supreme king.

"Do you lack even the guts to clash with me? Still, you fantasize about reaping rewards in the Third Era."

Chu Yuan’s words boomed wide, bearing down with immense presence.

"Speak all you want; your role is solely to unlock the Third Era for us, a mere offering to step into the Fourth Era. In this realm, true equality doesn't prevail."

Wu shot back.

Though Wu burned with aggression, Chu Yuan’s taunts wouldn't shatter his resolve. Regardless of tactics, victory remained the ultimate goal.

"I await you all; ignite the ultimate confrontation. You shall all serve as tributes for the Fourth Era."

Noting their refusal for one-on-one battles, Chu Yuan uttered just this.

To him, these supreme entities arrayed against him were nothing but offerings, their realms fueling an immortal epoch of everlasting unity.

"You too will claim the throne among supreme kings."

A chilling voice intoned.

"King of the supreme beings" carried a bitter edge, denoting power yet also defeat, implying Chu Yuan’s life merely cleared the path for the Fourth Era.

"The war of the supreme beings."

The god spoke up as well.

"This shall mark the briefest epoch."

Chu Yuan fell silent after that; it stood as a war cry in the wake of his words.

"Chu Yuan, the massive clash of the Third Era looms near, another supreme beings' war."

Yanran, upon Chu Yuan's return to the empire, spoke at once.

This epic showdown unfolded swifter than any had foreseen. Chu Yuan rejected their gradual conquest script, his strike on the demon serving exactly as the flare for the grand conflict.

"The great decisive battle approaches."

Chu Yuan announced, "I shall conclude it in the briefest span and usher in the Fourth Era."

"Without the gods and heavens' bold strikes, the demon faced certain doom!"

Bao, beholding the Emperor’s awe-inspiring dominance, praised, "And via this skirmish, they grasped the Emperor’s terror; not even supreme entities could withstand him, and across the heavens, likely just one figure rivals the Emperor directly—the god—yet in willpower, the god falls short of the Emperor."

"If the god possessed such a heaven-defying Emperor, he’d have launched the Third Era on his own."

Yanran stated bluntly, "Let this grand war erupt; it’ll be a realm-shaking clash devoid of flair, pure trial of raw power, where the one wielding the greatest force claims triumph!"

"At present, the supreme entities in the high heaven realm consist of the god, demon, spirit, Wu, thunder, Hell, evil, origin, law, light—these ten paramount beings."

Bao broke down the power balance between the factions.

Their side appeared truly outmatched, boasting merely Chu Yuan, Bao, and the Reincarnation as top-tier forces.

In an era-spanning cataclysm like this, a cosmos-shifting fray, lesser supreme entities mattered little, with only the utmost supreme ones swaying the final verdict.

This alliance might lack the numbers in supreme entities.

But Bao recognized they held an Emperor whose might defied prediction or standard measure.

"The ten supreme beings."

Chu Yuan murmured deliberately.

Certain supreme beings he had already battled.

And this "light" stood as a rather unique supreme entity, commanding both supreme radiance and profound shadow.

He embodied the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness alike.

"Chu Yuan, they see you won’t drag things out with them leisurely; led by the god, these ten supreme beings have convened now, plotting the supreme beings' war, much like their past uprising against the supreme king."

Yanran declared icily.

"The supreme beings' grand clash is inevitable, which is why I refuse to linger with them—there's no point at all."

Chu Yuan showed no fear.

"Very well, prior to the great decisive battle's launch, one more power we could draw into the empire remains: the Supreme Being of the Mind. His beliefs have crumbled; I’ll rebuild them for him. His thoughts wander astray; I’ll guide him back to the path."

Chu Yuan stated.

"The Supreme Being of the Mind!" Bao exclaimed in surprise, "The Supreme Being of the Mind ranks among the elite supreme ones; should he align with the empire’s forces, it’d bolster us immensely!"

"Mind will side with us; I understand him well. The Fourth Era, the timeless epoch of imperial oneness—this motive alone suffices to bring Mind back and fight alongside us."

Yanran expressed strong assurance on this matter.

"I shall call upon the Supreme Being of the Mind."

Chu Yuan’s proclamation rang forth.

"Mind, Mind..."

Piercing through veils of haze, Chu Yuan located the Supreme Being of the Mind’s position; at that time, he felt profoundly alone, drifting without purpose along a trail, seeking his lost convictions.

"Mind, I offer you the convictions of the Fourth Era, for the timeless epoch, the age of unity..."

Chu Yuan’s brilliant divine radiance wrapped around the Supreme Being of the Mind, aiding his release from that lost condition.
