Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Outside the city walls, a large number of powerful figures appeared, their eyes cold and piercing, conveying the will of the alliance.

The leader among them was a cultivator who had achieved the second level of immortality, clutching a token in his hand that bore a terrifying will.

"That Martial Emperor is so arrogant," one said, "will he accept the token?"

Someone at his side asked.

"Hmph, even if he doesn't want to accept it, he has to," he said with a sneer. "The Divine Martial Empire is powerful, but still not strong enough to contend with the Fleeting Ancient Emperor. It's still bearable if they accept the token, but if they don't, then they'd better be prepared for the alliance to force them into submission. This is the pressure of the situation!"

He sneered again, repeating, "Martial Emperor, are you still not going to accept it?"

"Dantai Feng, he has broken through to the second level of immortality," Bone God commented upon seeing the man, slightly surprised.

He knew a little about Dantai Feng, who had just entered the Reincarnation Ground as a first-level immortal but somehow made a breakthrough to the second level.

He carried himself with an air of arrogance. Being a strong individual himself with the alliance backing him up, puffing up his importance, meant that the Divine Martial Empire had no choice but to obey, even if they knew they were walking into death.

The trend is overwhelming; you have no choice.

They had long since noticed the rise of the Divine Martial Empire against the odds, a rise that could potentially threaten them. Hence, they intended to use the Feathered Divine Dynasty to eradicate them.

But upon his arrival, the city gates remained tightly shut. The soldiers went about their business as though they did not see him, treating him as if he were air.

He stood in the void for a full quarter of an hour, not even receiving a response to his presence, much less being welcomed into the city.

"Martial Emperor, are you refusing the alliance's order?"

He forcefully suppressed the raging anger in his heart. Even in the Fleeting Forbidden Land, his status as an immortal warranted respect, yet here he was, being ignored.

"Half a month from now, the Divine Martial Empire will definitely join the battle against the Feathered Divine City, but the empire has its own military strategy," Bone God responded.

The implication was clear: they would indeed fight, but how they would fight was for the Divine Martial Empire to decide. They wouldn't be dictated to by the alliance.

"Oh? It seems you do not accept the alliance's arrangement," Dantai Feng remarked.

"The empire has its own plan," Bone God said.

"Hmph! What a joke. If everyone were like the Divine Martial Empire, resisting the alliance's arrangements, the alliance would become a laughingstock. How could we stand united? The Martial Emperor didn't attend the alliance meeting, and now he openly defies the alliance's orders. It's as if the alliance doesn't exist at all!" Dantai Feng exclaimed.

The Fleeting Ancient Emperor knew well that, in the eyes of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, the alliance was nothing more than chickens and dogs. He was making connections with several top powerhouses to cleanse the alliance from top to bottom, purging those disobedient elements and consolidating the rest into a whole.

Clearly, the Divine Martial Empire was one such thorn.

A tendency toward this was already apparent lately.

The loosely structured alliance, through this cleansing, began to unite as one.

This was a positive development for the alliance, but not so much for Chu Yuan.

"The Divine Martial Empire is free to join the battle. When did it become your subordinate?" Bone God continued, "Dantai Feng, go back. We are both immortals. Some things need not be stated clearly; we understand them without saying, and frankly, saying them out loud can be embarrassing for the other party."

"The alliance is still too disorganized. If everyone followed your example, how could we stand against the Feathered Divine Dynasty? The Alliance Leader has already stated that this battle must be conducted under the alliance's command and those who disobey should not blame us for using other means," Dantai Feng said, shaking his head.

"Other means?" Bone God shook his head, "Excluding outsiders, draining others' strength to empower oneself—is that your alliance? My Divine Martial Empire never acknowledged itself as a member of the alliance."

"Besides this token, there is another decree. The Alliance Leader summons the Martial Emperor to the Fleeting Divine City to be ennobled as the commander of the vanguard army. He is to lead the vanguard formed under his command in the attack on Feathered Divine City," Dantai Feng presented another decree.

"What? To make the Great Emperor their commander is an insult!"

"Our emperor rules a nation, possessing immense strength. How can he condescend to become their vanguard commander!"

"The alliance is forcing our hand!"

...

The people of the Divine Martial Empire were seething with anger.

"The Divine Martial Empire can refuse, but I can't guarantee the consequences. I'll await your reply right here."

```

Despite being aware that the Divine Martial Empire was formidable, Dan Tai Feng was not afraid; he had the backing of an alliance. With the Martial Emperor's ambitions running so high, how could he allow him to continue unchecked? He must be severely suppressed.

"Were you not wishing to see Us? Come in."

Chu Yuan's calm voice spread out as the gates of the city opened.

"Martial Emperor!"

Dan Tai Feng's sharp gaze immediately fell upon a majestic figure within the city. He hesitated and did not enter. "Martial Emperor, you show no sincerity. If I were you, I would come out to receive the decree. After all, leading the charge is dangerous, but conquering the Feathered Divine Dynasty brings immense benefits."

"You talk too much."

Chu Yuan's terrifying aura directly intimidated Dan Tai Feng, and suddenly the Earth-Shattering power enveloped him, turning into endless torrents of rain around him. Dan Tai Feng, like a small boat caught in a storm, shook violently.

"What do you plan to do!"

He suddenly saw a towering figure approaching him, radiating light, immensely imposing.

"We do not appreciate threats," Chu Yuan said.

"To see the Great Emperor and not kneel immediately for the salute!" Bone God commanded.

"To make me kneel? Impossible!"

Dan Tai Feng felt Chu Yuan's overwhelming strength and quickly retreated.

"Kneel."

A good person is bullied, a good horse is ridden.

If Chu Yuan did not demonstrate his strength today, the mighty ancient emperors would truly think they could manipulate him at will. Was the Martial Emperor someone who feared threats?

His Heavenly Hand reached out, enveloping Dan Tai Feng with terrifying power. The Earth-Shattering force pressed down to make him kneel.

"Hmph!"

Dan Tai Feng saw those five fingers descending like a massive mountain. Despite his shock, he was unafraid.

After all, his cultivation level was at the Unvanquished Second Layer Heaven. He raised his hands and shot them towards the heavens, seeking to break through Chu Yuan's Heavenly Hand.

"To dare directly confront an envoy of the alliance, very well, this is your response to the alliance!"

Instead of fearing, he took action, as the mighty ancient emperor had expected.

But when his power struck the Heavenly Hand, it was easily obliterated. At that moment, his eyes could no longer discern Chu Yuan's true form—just an infinitely vast being of light.

The Heavenly Gate crushed down upon him.

Boom!

The force was immensely powerful, destroying all of Dan Tai Feng's Daoist secret techniques. His body trembled violently, and his legs softened, his knees involuntarily knelt down, immobilized.

An immortal being had been forced to kneel by Chu Yuan—a truly terrifying sight!

"Speak while kneeling."

Chu Yuan was cold. His eyes swept across the area, well aware that many were hidden in the void, watching, waiting for his response.

"Angering the Martial Emperor is self-destruction!" Bone God sneered.

"I... I'm actually forced to kneel?"

Dan Tai Feng still looked incredulous. He had not knelt even when meeting the mighty ancient emperor, but today, in the presence of so many, he knelt before the Martial Emperor's feet.

He saw many pointing and murmuring, obviously uttering words of humiliation.

"Martial Emperor, are you aware of what you are doing? My presence represents the alliance. Your actions are a slap to the alliance's face. If you do not personally apologize to the alliance today, your end will be worse than being a vanguard!"

Although humiliated and angry, Dan Tai Feng remained calm and mentioned the backing of the alliance. "Martial Emperor, the fate of the Divine Martial Empire hangs on your thoughts. My kneeling is nothing. Offending the alliance could lead to your empire's annihilation!"

"Lead to the annihilation of Our empire?" Chu Yuan's killing intent soared.

"Ding! A new side quest has been released; the host may choose freely among three options."

[Side Quest One: Release Dan Tai Feng and let him return to the alliance.]

[Side Quest Two: Personally go to the alliance and meet the mighty ancient emperor.]

[Side Quest Three: Execute Dan Tai Feng.]
