Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

The lord of the Myriad Demon Empire was to offer a sacrifice of power to the Myriad Demon Gate to summon an even more terrifying force.

This fact was known to the Divine Capital's cosmic gods, and they were aware that this was the most powerful asset of the Myriad Demon Empire.

However, the cost of each sacrifice was too high, consuming the fate of an empire and countless foundations; it would not be used unless the empire faced its demise.

Yet, they would not stand by and watch the Myriad Demon Empire be destroyed; after all, they were influential figures within the empire, living exalted lives second only to one and above ten thousand.

Once the empire fell, they would become prisoners, and even if the Martial Emperor spared them, they would be considered inferior, never able to lead the lives they once had.

"Good, let us pour our power into the Myriad Demon Gate!"

The cosmic gods of the Divine Capital roared, ready to channel their power into the Myriad Demon Gate.

"Do not pour directly into the Myriad Demon Gate; this time this emperor will use a stronger secret technique. Take out the Myriad Demon Gate that this emperor gave you, and pour into it first."

The lord of the Myriad Demon Empire suddenly said this.

While his voice fell, the cosmic gods, although somewhat perplexed, were too pressed by the urgency to think further and complied. They promptly took out a Myriad Demon Gate similar to that of the Devouring Cosmic God and thrust their own power into it.

Simultaneously, within the territory of the Myriad Demon Empire, several Myriad Demon Gates emerged, functioning like a matrix, connected to the main gate.

"They are going to sacrifice power using the Myriad Demon Gate!"

"There's no need to worry, with the Great Emperor here, no matter what happens, it can be resolved!"

"Yes, the Great Emperor will handle it; our task is to be ready to offer our power at any moment!"

The powerhouses of the Divine Martial Empire were not panicked.

As the Myriad Demon Empire's sacrifice progressed, in just a brief moment, the Myriad Demon Gate seemed to connect with another universe, pouring an immortal demonic will into the lord of the Myriad Demon Empire

And as the power he sacrificed increased, so did the strength of this will.

The lord of the Myriad Demons was already a peak second-step cosmic god, and with the power bestowed by the sacrifice, he seemed capable of momentarily possessing the power of a third-step.

"It's still not enough, a normal sacrifice isn't sufficient to reach the third step, and a mere temporary third step cannot contend against this Martial Great Emperor."

The lord of the Myriad Demon Empire coldly said, "This emperor needs more power!"

"More power!"

The cosmic gods were stunned, then understood his intent, and gritting their teeth said, "Alright, if it's more power you need, for the empire, we will give it, even if it means everything!"

"No need, your pace of sacrifice is too slow, and not thorough enough. This time, this emperor will endow himself with immortal will, possessing the peak power of the third step. Bring all of your power, thoroughly!"

The lord of the Myriad Demon Empire at last revealed his brutal and tyrannical side.

The entire territory of the Myriad Demon Empire trembled.

The cosmic gods initially felt nothing, but in just a few moments, their expressions drastically changed as their power uncontrollably surged into the Myriad Demon Gate.

This was not their doing; the Myriad Demon Gate was actively absorbing it.

"Ah! Our power!"

The cosmic gods couldn't control it; the Myriad Demon Gate seemed to have latched onto them persistently, impossible to shake off.

Their expressions turned grave.

Not just him, everyone felt the same.

Instantly, it became clear, the absolute extent of what the lord of the Myriad Demon Empire had mentioned: he intended to sacrifice the life of every being in the empire, leaving only himself alive, sparing no others.

"The lord of the Myriad Demon Empire is about to actively sacrifice an entire empire!"

The Blood of the Purple Demon in the Book fluctuated violently.

This was ruthlessly harsh.

Even though the cosmic gods were his subjects, and indeed cosmic gods, the lord of the Myriad Demon Empire was merciless, willing to sacrifice even them.

"You intend to sacrifice us all!"

The cosmic gods roared.

He finally understood why the ruler of Myriad Demon Gate had insisted they not directly inject power into the Myriad Demon Gate, but rather go through such convoluted steps. It was because with a direct injection, they could actively sever the sacrificing power if something was amiss.

The Myriad Demon Gate he provided was merely a tool to control them, ready to be sacrificed at any moment.

"Having enjoyed so many resources of the empire, it's time for you to give back. Without me, the Barren Demon, you couldn't have become a cosmic god," he said coldly and cruelly.

The ruler of the Myriad Demon Gate was cold and merciless.

"You have no humanity, we have also given so much to the empire!"

Another cosmic god named Guan Song let out his own roar, if this continued, his very essence as a cosmic god would be completely drained.

"What is humanity?"

The ruler of Myriad Demon Gate seemed to be asking himself, yet the speed of his sacrificing didn't slow down.

"We're going to die, not by the hands of the Martial Emperor, but by the hands of someone ruthless and heartless. I can't accept this!"

All three cosmic gods were roaring.

At that moment, their hatred for the ruler of Myriad Demon Gate was immense, they were willing to die in battle for the empire.

They could die alongside the ruler of Myriad Demon Gate in battle, but they absolutely didn't want to be sacrificed by him.

Boom!

The sacrifices by the ruler of Myriad Demon Gate to the Myriad Demon Gate brought forth even greater power, he was about to break through the second stage's limitation.

For him, channeling all the sacrifice's energy to himself could increase his cultivation, but it absolutely couldn't defeat the Martial Emperor.

However, if sacrificed to the even greater existence within the Myriad Demon Gate, the feedback of power could temporarily bring him to the peak power of the third stage.

What was an empire but a tool in his hands?

As long as he slaughtered the Martial Emperor, he could rebuild it at any time, and it would be even stronger than before.

"I don't want to die, he wants to destroy us to achieve his own glory, no, this is not our final end, there is still a way out for us!"

The cosmic god Guan Song looked desperately towards the towering presence of the Martial Emperor, that magnificent entity sparked the last hope in him, pleading, "Great Martial Emperor, save us, we were wrong to rebel against you. If only you can save us, we are willing to join the Divine Martial Empire, to become your most loyal subjects, dedicating our power. We are all cosmic gods, we can do much for the Great Emperor!"

They knew in their hearts.

Even if the Martial Emperor wasn't here today, one day the Myriad Demon Empire would face a great enemy, or even for a breakthrough in cultivation, the ruler of the Myriad Demon Gate would mercilessly sacrifice them.

It was just exposing his cruel side sooner.

"We are willing to serve you!"

The Barren Demon cosmic god and another cosmic god also cried out for help.

This was their best chance for salvation.

But Chu Yuan was unmoved.

"Martial Emperor, if you don't save us, and he completely sacrifices us, it will be detrimental to you afterwards. Saving us is like saving yourself!"

Guan Song was desperate.

He couldn't last much longer, just a dozen more breaths and he would be completely sacrificed.

"What would it take for you to save us!"

Guan Song couldn't hold on any longer, suddenly saying, "Great Emperor, as long as you can save us, I am willing to become your servant, to serve you for all eternity, as your most loyal subordinates!"

"We are also willing to be slaves!"

The cruelty and lawlessness of the ruler of Myriad Demon Gate had shattered their last stand, all three cosmic gods were willing to become slaves.

"Can he even save you?" scoffed the ruler of Myriad Demon Gate.

"My servants."

Chu Yuan, imposing upon the world, issued a resounding voice, "Fine, I will take you as my servants."
