Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Divine Martial Empire.

The army returned from this campaign bathed in iron and blood.

In the Reincarnation Ground, within a few months, the losses were great, with nearly half of the force either wounded or lost. However, those who survived were the battle-hardened soldiers, the elite of the elite, capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

The name of the Divine Martial Empire spread to every corner of the cosmos.

Now, who does not know of the Divine Martial Empire?

After Chu Yuan returned to the Divine Martial Empire, he received numerous messages that darkened his expression.

"Your Majesty, your servant has failed in his duties and caused the empire to suffer losses. I am at fault and ask your Majesty to punish me."

The Enlightenment Book knelt before Chu Yuan, his face full of shame, "While your Majesty led the forces in the Reincarnation Ground, the empire was attacked by Shi Tianjun of the Spiritual Realm. The commander of the Prison Pool led a team in the cosmos and was ambushed, with thirteen warships destroyed, a large number of soldiers perished, and even the commander himself was annihilated once. In addition, Shi Tianjun repeatedly struck and killed our empire's soldiers abroad, poisoned our strongholds, and made it so the people of our empire dare not leave the Divine Martial territories, fearing assassination!"

It turned out Shi Tianjun began his retaliation while Chu Yuan was in the Reincarnation Realm.

And he was extremely patient, choosing the time when Chu Yuan entered the Reincarnation Realm, like a venomous snake finally beginning its hunt.

After a string of successful attacks, he originally intended to penetrate into the empire, causing boundless slaughter.

But within the empire, there was the protection of national destiny, which he could not break.

Shi Tianjun, having suffered a significant setback at the hands of Chu Yuan last time, did not fall into dispair. Instead, he broke through to the second level of immortality.

The Enlightenment Book was helpless; his strength was not on par with Shi Tianjun's, and the latter used ambush tactics, so he could only confine the people within the empire, forbidding them from leaving the Divine Martial Empire, until the return of the Great Emperor.

But the people of an empire cannot possibly stay cowered within its borders without venturing out, considering Divine Martial still had some strongholds in the outside world.

"It was fortunate that the Empress Dowager intervened. Her efforts helped fend off some of Shi Tianjun's onslaught, allowing us to withdraw most of our people. Otherwise, our losses would have been even greater."

The Enlightenment Book bowed his head on the ground, his heart filled with shame.

"You have worked hard."

Chu Yuan looked towards Jiuyou, who had also just returned to the empire, and nodded at her.

"I too am a member of the empire."

Jiuyou shook her head, "But this is all I could do. Shi Tianjun has gone mad, his ways unscrupulous. An immortal of the second level targeting our empire is terrifying."

In this period, leading the Blood Moon followers, Jiuyou found that only barely managing to contain Shi Tianjun was possible.

She couldn't stop the frenzy of the immortal of the second level, but thankfully there were the Blood Moon followers, and the will of the Blood Moon Empress.

The Immortal Realm, although only having three levels, each level had a tremendous gap, as different as heaven and earth, comparable to an entire realm. For Jiuyou, leading the Blood Moon followers to do so much was already commendable.

"Your Majesty, although Shi Tianjun has withdrawn for now, it is unknown where he is hiding, potentially ready to strike a vicious blow at any time. The empire does not have the capacity to deal with an immortal lying in wait."

The Enlightenment Book said.

This kind of immortal, focused only on revenge and indiscriminate slaughter, is too terrifying.

"I know where Shi Tianjun is; he is hiding in the Spiritual Realm."

Chu Yuan's face took on a frightful coldness.

He had clashed with Shi Tianjun numerous times, leaving behind his aura, which could vaguely be used to calculate his whereabouts.

Shi Tianjun clearly knew that the battle in the Reincarnation Realm was over and that Chu Yuan's strength had grown stronger. He was no match for Chu Yuan, and so he simply hid straight back into the Spiritual Realm, waiting for Chu Yuan to go to battle before retaliating again.

"We must strike back!"

The Divine Martial's strong elders, having been through the battle in the Reincarnation Realm, were all brimming with murderous intent.

Gu Shen furiously said, "This Shi Tianjun is nothing but a cowardly rat. If he wants revenge, he should have the guts to confront the Great Emperor directly. What does he achieve by attacking the lower-ranked immortals? Does this let others fear his immortal majesty?"

"If he had the courage, he wouldn't need to resort to these tactics."

Lu Qianfu also expressed his disdain.

"How can we defend the dignity of our Divine Martial Empire if Stone Celestial remains alive?"

"Attack the Spiritual Realm, annihilate Stone Celestial!"

"Right, kill, we must kill. Better yet, we should just annihilate the Spiritual Realm altogether. We dare to battle the Feathered Divine Dynasty, so do we fear a mere Spiritual Realm?"

....

The sovereigns were incensed, Stone Celestial's attacks on the weak had fueled their rage, and they couldn't quell the anger in their hearts until he was destroyed.

"Stone Celestial, I had almost forgotten about him," said Chu Yuan, his voice cold. He truly hadn't regarded Stone Celestial as important, but unexpectedly, the stone had given him a significant gift.

The destruction of thirteen warships was not important, as the Prison Pool Commander could be reborn in the Prison Pool, but the soldiers who died in his retaliation could not be revived, each a vivid life lost.

Chu Yuan said nothing about Stone Celestial's acts of revenge.

In conflict, all sorts of methods might be employed.

Since you have used the means of retaliation, then I will not tolerate it, but will retaliate even more ruthlessly in return.

"Does he think that by fleeing back to the Spiritual Prison, he can ensure his safety?"

Upon hearing this, everyone became solemn.

These words from Chu Yuan signified he was about to take action.

"Your Majesty, the Spiritual Realm was established by the Spirit God, and the Spirit God existed in the same era as the Great Ancestor Mingguang. His strength is unrivaled, far beyond that of an ordinary third tier," said Xia Han. "He also ventured through the cataclysm of reincarnation, but he returned, and it seemed he had undergone some change and could not easily appear."

"He's hiding within the Spiritual Realm; this could be troublesome."

"Not troublesome," Chu Yuan replied. "The Enlightenment Book, convey my imperial edict, let the Spiritual Realm hand over Stone Celestial. I shall punish him with the utmost penalty, to console the soldiers who died at his hands. If the Spiritual Realm does not comply, my armies will flatten the Spiritual Realm very soon."

"We will obey the imperial edict!"

The Enlightenment Book trembled in response.

This imperial edict from the emperor was too domineering, demanding the Spiritual Realm to hand over Stone Celestial.

This was not some ordinary person they could hand over so easily. An immortal of the second tier of immortality, a significant figure anywhere, could the Spiritual Realm possibly hand him over? If they really did, it's likely the Spiritual Realm would lose all face.

The imperial edict reached the Spiritual Realm.

Such a domineering imperial edict naturally infuriated the Spiritual Realm.

However, the disappearance of the Reincarnation Realm made them aware of the strength of the Divine Martial Empire and that they should not provoke them lightly. They quickly sent a reply.

They claimed it was all a misunderstanding, Stone Celestial did not intend to kill those of the Divine Martial Empire but accidentally involved them when confronting a powerful enemy, leading to the unfortunate incident.

They were willing to compensate the Divine Martial Empire, mourning the unfortunate soldiers who perished and expressing their condolences.

The Spiritual Realm would also send powerful figures to pay tribute to these soldiers.

It was clear to anyone with discernment that the Spiritual Realm was caving in, not daring to confront the Divine Martial Empire directly, but instead, they were using a roundabout method, giving face to the Divine Martial Empire and hoping for the same in return.

They indicated that they would restrain Stone Celestial to prevent such incidents in the future.

"As expected, the Spiritual Realm won't hand over anyone!"

After learning of this, the ministers were very dissatisfied with the outcome, the opponent had submitted but glossed over the issue lightly, which greatly upset them.

"The existence of the Spiritual Realm is quite ancient, isn't it?" Chu Yuan asked Xia Han.

Xia Han was startled and responded, "Extremely ancient, even more so than the Mingguang Immortal Sect."

"Mobilize the entire army, level the Spiritual Realm."

Chu Yuan said coldly, "If they won't hand him over, I'll go personally and flatten them!"
