Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

The war was about to begin.

The Divine Martial Empire showed no signs of retreating.

The people of the Spiritual Realm were all somewhat jittery; the pressure from the Imperial Army of the Divine Martial Empire, bearing down on them, was immense.

"Martial Emperor, you are dead set on waging war with us!"

Lu Jia bellowed.

"Haha, what issue can't be properly discussed? Why must it come to this? Fighting benefits no one. Martial Emperor, while Brother Lu Jia may not be your opponent, the true master of the Spiritual Realm is nonetheless the Spirit God."

At that moment, another voice suddenly rang out.

An old man in a blue robe appeared.

"Indeed, the Spirit God is powerful. Why don't both sides shake hands in peace? Brother Ji Qingliu and I can act as mediators to arrange a proper compensation for the Divine Martial Empire, how about that?"

A figure with overwhelming demon energy, a burly man, materialized.

These two were actually cultivators of the Third Layer of the Immortal Realm!

"Who are you?" Lu Qianfu asked in place of Chu Yuan.

"I am Ji Qingliu, and this is Dragon Saint. Today, we have no other purpose but to hope that the Divine Martial Empire would reconsider their invasion of the Spiritual Realm. Conflict will not benefit anyone,"

the blue-robed elder Ji Qingliu said.

"You've come."

Lu Jia also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Qingliu and Dragon Saint were not powerful beings of the Spiritual Realm but its allies; they had once benefited from the Spiritual Realm and were invited by him to support them, precisely to coerce the Divine Martial Empire into withdrawing their troops.

He wasn't afraid to battle the Divine Martial Empire, but neither did he wish to see the Spiritual Realm suffer great losses.

"Are you opposing my Divine Martial Empire?"

Lu Qianfu shouted.

"Not at all," Ji Qingliu smiled. "We have all heard of the grand reputation of the Martial Emperor. Our visit today was also to pay our respects to the Great Emperor."

He spoke calmly, but everyone could see that he was there to back the Spiritual Realm.

"Anyone who interferes in this war is my enemy,"

Chu Yuan signaled, and suddenly the flag of the blood-warriors whipped up furiously—a sign.

Ji Qingliu and Dragon Saint's expressions changed abruptly.

The Martial Emperor was as domineering as the legends described, completely ignoring them.

"Defend!"

Lu Jia urgently cried out.

The cosmos where their Spiritual Realm resided was left by an ancient supreme being and was laced with countless ancient prohibitions. In an instant, streaks of brilliant light surged out, enveloping the Spiritual Realm within, with a defense so formidable it drove people to despair.

Such a defense could only be breached by a supreme being; even a Hall Master of the level of deity slaying would find it very difficult to break through.

So your army wants to lay siege? Lu Jia knew how formidable you are and chose not to confront you head-on. Instead, he activated the restrictions to outlast you, to see who could hold out longer.

"The prohibitions of the Spiritual Realm, I could bombard them for ten thousand years and still not break through,"

Dragon Saint said with a laugh, seeing the restrictions. Now, with the ever-changing situation in the cosmos, if the prohibitions couldn't be broken, the Divine Martial Empire wouldn't possibly waste time here.

"Kill!"

Chu Yuan glanced at the restrictions.

Many powerful beings within the Spiritual Realm, from immortals to the most ordinary, were all channeling a kind of spiritual power.

A sword to shake the heavens, the might of the Supreme Divine Sword quaked the firmament. Chu Yuan didn't care about these restrictions at all; he unsheathed the Human Emperor Sword, aimed at the Spiritual Realm, and in an instant, a massive surge of sword light gathered.

"This sword!"

When Lu Jia saw the Human Emperor Sword, his mind trembled. The deity-slaying Hall Master's murderous sword broke upon contact with this very sword. However, he was not worried; the defense of the Spiritual Realm was not something that could be easily broken by a single sword.

He shone brightly, revealing the ethereal silhouette of a set of divine armor.

The ultimate sword strike, strongholds of the Spiritual Realm didn't believe Chu Yuan could break through with a single strike, but when the Human Emperor's Sword descended, countless spiritual lights extinguished, pointing directly to where Lu Jia was and falling upon that location.

Bang!

The fluctuations were like the destruction of the cosmos, just as Lu Jia managed to raise his defenses, the Human Emperor's Sword broke through the spiritual light barrier with a single strike, its Sword Qi sweeping across his body, and incredibly, in one strike, his defense was breached, sending him flying.

After that sword strike alone, Lu Jia's body was dimly lit with fading spiritual light, the defenses enveloping the Spiritual Realm were collapsing.

He trembled, if it weren't for being inside the Spiritual Realm, that strike would have completely shattered his divine armor.

"What, the defenses of the Spiritual Realm have been breached with a single strike?"

Ji Qingliu and the Demon Dragon Saint intended to help the Spiritual Realm, but upon seeing the ferocity of this strike, they were startled and dared not mention aiding the Spiritual Realm again.

The spiritual light attempted to regather, but Chu Yuan cast a casual glance, and brilliant Sword Qi fell, instantly followed by countless screams of agony.

"The defenses of my Spiritual Realm have been breached!"

Lu Jia was devastated, clearly in disbelief, seeing as the Divine Martial Empire's army marched in neat steps towards the Spiritual Realm, he realized the Great Emperor of the Divine Martial was resolute in obliterating his Spiritual Realm.

"The Spiritual Realm must not be broken, guard the Spiritual Realm!"

His face went pale, still he shouted with vigor, intending to use the cosmos of the Spiritual Realm itself to keep the Divine Martial Empire's army at bay, outside the starry sky.

"Let them take me, their target is me."

Shi Tianjun stepped forward, with only one arm remaining, his eyes filled with hatred and venom, resentful yet helpless.

With his strength, regenerating a severed limb was not a problem, but he considered it the greatest humiliation of his life.

Having escaped the Cosmic Sea that day, he cultivated with that hate till he reached the second layer of Immortality, believing he could take revenge on Chu Yuan, only to begin to despair in the face of the power of the Great Emperor of the Divine Martial.

As the seeds of resentment took root, he changed tactics, seeking to destroy the Divine Martial Empire.

He fled back to the Spiritual Realm, but now the Great Emperor of the Divine Martial had led his army straight into the Spiritual Realm.

"Shi Tianjun, do you really believe he is doing all this just for you? This emperor has grand ambitions, he seeks to annihilate my Spiritual Realm, to plunder all the souls within. Even if we hand you over, they will not withdraw their troops!"

One of the immortals shouted in protest.

This was a tree person, which slightly unsettled Chu Yuan, as this tree person's true form was actually an Origin Tree.

"This disaster was all caused by me!"

Shi Tianjun could never have imagined that the Divine Martial Empire would grow so terrifyingly powerful, becoming an overwhelming force.

"Talking about whose disaster it is now is pointless, the task at hand is to resist the invasion of the Divine Martial Empire!"

Lu Jia was also infuriated, indeed, the trouble had been stirred up by Shi Tianjun.

But at such a time, was there any use in chastising Shi Tianjun?

Their ambition was clear for all to see, they were determined to destroy them, and they would not rest until their goal was achieved.

He had hoped to use the cosmos itself to resist the Divine Martial Empire's army, but their sword, of unknown quality, was so terrifyingly powerful that it shattered his plans.

Now there was no other way but to fight to the death.

"Brother Qingliu, Demon Dragon Saint, if you aid our Spiritual Realm in winning this battle, you will be handsomely rewarded. Whatever you desire, the Spiritual Realm will offer with both hands."

Lu Jia understood that relying solely on the Spiritual Realm itself would be challenging to withstand the Divine Martial Empire's onslaught. If two triple-layer Immortals joined, perhaps the situation could be turned around.

"We want our desired things!"

Their eyes immediately brightened, but then they suddenly looked sharply at Chu Yuan and shook their heads, "We are just here to mediate, we will not interfere with this battle, sorry."

They dared not take action rashly.

Within the Reincarnation Realm, the Great Emperor of the Divine Martial outshone all others.

"Damn it, they're afraid of the Great Emperor of the Divine Martial!"

Lu Jia seethed inside, yet even without their help, as a native conflict, his Spiritual Realm had many cards up its sleeve.

"We can only rely on ourselves now. Today, even if it means rivers of blood, we must fight fiercely!"

"Great Emperor of the Divine Martial, it's been so many years, and no one has ever breached my Spiritual Realm's homeland. You are indeed very strong and your strength quite peculiar, I feel it."
