Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

The Cosmic Devouring God actually ran off!

With his back against the wall, this attacker wouldn't stop coming after him. Even if he let the Thunder God use his Divine Abilities to build the Thunder Domain, the price would be immense pain for him. He'd have to steal life essences from many more Universe Gods and in the end, he'd gain no real benefit.

"Cosmic Devouring God!"

The Thunder God roared in furious shock.

Never in a million years did he expect a Universe God to be so spineless and simply escape.

His Thunder Domain was almost complete, just a few steps away. But because of the Cosmic Devouring God's desertion, his success crumbled at the last minute, and his fury was indescribable.

"Damn you, Cosmic Devouring God! You've ruined my plans! If I had managed to complete the Thunder Domain, I could have trapped and killed this man."

Notwithstanding his rage,

The Thunder God understood that the three of them could barely handle him, not to mention just two of them. Without any hesitations, he too left the palace.

This fight was a complete and humiliating defeat for them.

Chu Yuan watched them depart calmly, making no move to give chase.

At that moment, the Purple Blood Demon Book had just traversed the nine divine tribulations. A vast amount of vital energy surged into him, condensing into a miniature cosmos inside of him.

However, the ordeal was not yet over.

In an instant, two beams of light—one black and one white, representing life and death—illuminated his body. After passing this life and death tribulation, he would possess a lifespan equal to that of Heaven and Earth: he would not age, he would only perish with the destruction of Heaven and Earth.

"Universe God, I will become one!"

The Purple Blood Demon Book suddenly stood up, pointing at the sky and standing on the ground. His eyes shot out a sharp, bone-piercing radiance—he was about to defy the heavens and steal an immortal lifespan.

He'd accumulated so much that when he unleashed it all at once, the brilliance of the cosmos took form around him. It was bright and dazzling.

Watching him breakthrough, Chu Yuan was rather indifferent. He only needed to absorb enough cosmic god energy to advance to this level.

However, the others were gaping wide-eyed.

Universe Gods were extremely rare throughout the cosmos, let alone the spectacle of their breakthrough.

Usually, they would choose secluded places to breakthrough, fearing that someone might seize their power in their weakest moment.

Such incidents had occurred before.

Suffering to attain Godhood only to have someone rob all their power.

But with Chu Yuan there, the Demon Book had nothing to worry about.

"Universe God!"

The light of life and death eventually merged into him.

The power emanating from the Purple Blood Demon Book was now on par with heaven and earth.

His miniature cosmos, the same as the Purple Blood Demon Book's true form, also took shape quickly amidst the vast cosmos energy.

"I've finally achieved the realm of the Universe God."

The Purple Blood Demon Book was a bit dazed. The steps he had taken felt like a dream, like he was in his own delusions, and he had some difficulty believing it.

From now on, he would be amongst the rare ones, beings who'd live as long as heaven and earth.

He suddenly approached Chu Yuan, and as a Universe God, he ceremoniously kneeled before Chu Yuan, declaring, "I thank Your Highness for your grace of rebirth. Without you, I could never have broken through to Universe God. From now on, I will use my Universe God powers for the Empire, fighting until the last moment!"

His first life was created by the Purple Blood Universe God.

But the life that lived as long as Heaven and Earth was a gift from Chu Yuan.

Without the Divine Tribulation Flower, the remnants of a Universe God, and this cosmic sea, his own chances of breaking through would have been at most twenty percent.

He had seen Chu Yuan's prowess in suppressing the three Universe Gods earlier on, and he knew that even if he had achieved this realm, he was still insignificant in the Emperor's presence.

"In the service of the Empire, I will not fail those who have rendered meritorious service," Chu Yuan said, clearly pleased.

The Empire gaining another Universe God would greatly consolidate its strength, making the summoning of top-tier fighters less strenuous in the future.

"Congratulations, Lord Purple Blood Demon Book, on your breakthrough to Universe God. You have now attained a lifespan equal to the heavens, and this will greatly increase the strength of our Divine Martial Empire. With this, we will find even more treasures in the Cosmic Sea!"

Liu Feng and the others hurried to congratulate the Purple Blood Demon Book, envy visible in their eyes.

They were all aware to some degree that the Purple Blood Demon Book's breakthrough to Universe God was largely due to the Emperor's generosity.

The fact that the Emperor was so generous made them realize that as long as they contribute to the Empire, becoming a Universe God was a possibility.

In that moment, Chu Yuan could sense the Empire's unity strengthening.

"Everyone, although I've become a Universe God, I've only accumulated a bit more than you. As you've seen, the Cosmic Sea is full of treasures. From now on, we need to contribute more to the Empire," the Purple Blood Demon Book said. "His Highness surely hopes that some of you can become Universe Gods as well. After all, only with the power of a Universe God can we compete in this cosmos."

"We understand!"

Liu Feng and the others nodded repeatedly, declaring, "Only by following His Highness do we stand a chance to become Universe Gods!"

Observing Chu Yuan, Liu Feng and Shi Long knew clearly that compared to the vast Universe God, Chu Yuan was an existence even more majestic and powerful.

"Purple Blood Demon Book, although you've broken through to Universe God, your miniature cosmos isn't fully consolidated yet. Strengthening the miniature cosmos requires absorbing infinite energy, preferably by means of countless treasures. However, regarding this, I will support you," Chu Yuan said scanning the crowd. "Next up, the Empire needs to take bigger steps."

As he spoke, he arrived outside the Heavenly Palace.

He gazed at this majestic palace that existed in another dimension. Suddenly, he reached out with his immense power enveloping it and yanked the palace out from the dimension with a rumbling sound.

This palace now existed in the Cosmic Sea.

Anyone inside the remnants of the Heavenly Palace merely needed to look up to see this grand palace.

"The Heavenly Palace has appeared!"

"That's the final Main Palace!"

"What? The final Main Palace? Look at those shadows on it—it already has occupants! Moreover, it seems like they've already activated the most important relic of the Heavenly Palace!"

"Oh heavens, what in the world is happening?"

...

Many spectators within the grand palace ruins witnessed the appearance of the Heavenly Palace and let out shocked exclamations.

They were oblivious to the fact that the Thunder God and the three Universe Gods had clashed already.

The palace now had a master. Some people attempted to investigate, but they were repelled by the power of a Universe God emanating from the palace.

"Heavenly Palace!"

Looking at the manifested palace, rage burned in the Thunder God's eyes, "The treasures inside the palace were supposed to belong to my Thunder Empire, but now we've gained nothing. Damn you, Cosmic Devourer, you've ruined everything!"

He thought that if his Thunder Domain had been completed, he definitely could have defeated Chu Yuan.

"Hmm, these Empire people are too arrogant and overbearing. I can't swallow this loss, if I do, I wouldn't be myself anymore. Besides, their exploration range in the Cosmic Sea isn't too far from our Empire's. There are bound to be conflicts in the future," said the Universe God named Kun Wu.

"I understand what you mean," said the Thunder God, calming down. "We should preemptively strike—it's better to be the attacker than the victim. We can't let them off. It's best to make the first move and gain the upper hand."

"Although the Cosmic Devourer ran away, I understand why he did. He suffered the most this time. We should still get the Demonic Empire involved and make collaborative attacks against Chu Yuan."
