Chapter 1020: The Era of Divine Martial Arts
The ancient emperor perished in battle, and his Divine Dynasty crumbled along with him.
Both great Divine Dynasties were swept away, and in this universe, Chu Yuan now had no rivals.
"The Death Sea has also disappeared from the universe."
On this day, a major event occurred in the universe—the ancient Death Sea vanished. Just before the ancient emperor died, rumors said that the owner of the Death Sea had awoken, utilized a Great Divine Power, and caused the Death Sea to disappear.
"The Death Sea has actually vanished!"
The Death Sea had existed since ancient times, not even disappearing during the era when celestial beings and deities dominated.
Yet now, on the eve of the Divine Martial Dynasty's unification of the universe, it disappeared without a trace.
This meant the Death Sea was very wary of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
"Leaving so decisively, knowing I would not tolerate a Death Sea within the universe."
Chu Yuan said indifferently, "Who is the master of the Death Sea? In the instant it disappeared, I seemed to sense a familiar presence, very strange, but within the unfamiliarity there was a hint of something once encountered."
He was still unable to deduce it.
However, he knew where the Death Sea had gone.
"Let's not bother with these for now."
Chu Yuan knew where everyone sought refuge.
After annihilating Feihua and the ancient dynasty, the Divine Martial Dynasty unified the universe, and everyone in the universe had to submit. This also marked the beginning of a grand era called the era of Divine Martial.
"Endless fortune of the Divine Dynasty!"
The Divine Martial Dynasty was splendid.
The entire universe belonged to the Divine Martial Dynasty.
At that moment, Chu Yuan suddenly felt a surge of immense power flood into his body, like a wild tide.
Previously, years were used to mark the passage of time in Divine Martial, but such a method of dating no longer held much significance for the now united Divine Martial. Instead, it had to be calculated according to cosmic cycles.
This was the first Divine Martial cosmic cycle.
"It's just the first cycle of Divine Martial rule, and there's a long way to go. But I can wait. Divine Martial Emperor, as nine cosmic cycles emerge, you will struggle to reappear among the heavens!"
The Feathered Emperor hid in a place, speaking coldly.
In his view, the ancient emperor was foolish; nothing was more important than being alive. What did one or two failures matter? Even if he failed a million times, the Feathered Emperor's spirit would never break.
"Divine Martial Dynasty, Ruler of the Universe."
Within the Divine Capital, Yao Ling, Luo Yueying, Shangguan Xian, and Jiu You all gathered, feeling that the entire universe was dominated by Divine Martial. It seemed like another lifetime, in a short span of time, from an eternal world to becoming the overlord of the universe.
"But this is just the beginning for His Majesty."
Jiu You said, knowing more, "After nine cycles, His Majesty will retreat from the world. Suppressed by the universe and unable to appear, but with His Majesty's character, how can he tolerate this? He wants to do as the gods do, control the cycles of the universe, and have Divine Martial be eternal, free from any suppression."
"His Majesty has grand ambitions," Shangguan Xian said softly, "There isn't much we can do, only silently support him from behind, even if it's just a meager contribution."
...
Time kept flowing, and even thousands of years were meaningless to Divine Martial.
The Divine Martial Dynasty had unified the universe, construction was underway everywhere, all the powerhouses in the universe were people of Divine Martial, and all resources were allocated by Divine Martial, causing a multitude of powerhouses to emerge in the Dynasty.
The fortune of the Divine Dynasty spread throughout the universe, and the mighty name of the Divine Martial Emperor was extolled everywhere.
"Although recent times have been fervent, with the Dynasty developing greatly, it's been quite peaceful."
Chu Chenxi traveled throughout the entire universe, enjoying herself immensely.
"Yes, the Divine Martial Dynasty is in a phase of great development now, which will continue for nine cosmic cycles. Just listening to that feels lengthy, this unbelievable span of time has to be calculated by reincarnation, and how many years each cosmic cycle lasts is too complex to imagine."
Chu Chenyao said, "Now, War God no longer has any opponents."
"No, you're wrong."
Chu Chenxue came over and said, "His Majesty still has enemies, and that is the gods. The gods are not dead; they are planning a shocking grand strategy that might even change the entire cosmic structure. Moreover, there are still too many powerful beings who are not dead; they are trapped in this universe, including our War God!"
After all, she had served as a divine servant and knew a great deal.
"The War God also broke through to the Supreme Triple Heaven. How many years has it been?"
Chu Yuan received good news, War God broke through to the Supreme Triple Heaven, thanks to the unification of the universe and the fortune of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Although the previous great war was brutal, after the unification by War God, the universe had also become calm, and many talents had been cultivated, becoming the pillars of War God.
"I too must make a breakthrough."
Chu Yuan's aura vibrated as he broke through to the realm of the second layer of the Supreme Heaven.
"Ding! Host breaks through to second layer of the Supreme Divine Heaven, receives four million Destiny Points, Divine Abilities fruit x4096, Supreme Divine Tool upgrade card, Supreme Divine Realm x2, Earth Spirit War General x1, random lottery chance x1."
All five War Generals gathered, already capable of exerting the power of the Supreme, and the Five Elements cycled, with all five Spirit War Generals evolving towards the Supreme.
Another lengthy period of time passed by, this was the era of War God.
Supreme Divine Triple Heaven.
The familiar system upgrade voice came again.
"Ding! Host breaks through to the Supreme Divine Triple Heaven, receives five million Destiny Points, Divine Abilities fruit x4096, Supreme Divine Tool upgrade card, Supreme Divine Realm x2, random lottery chance x1."
"Ding! The current side quest has been released, breakthrough Sovereign!"
"Sovereign!"
Chu Yuan knew, above the Supreme Divine was the Sovereign!
He seemed to have become the Ruler of the Universe, but in reality, he wasn't, neither was he a Sovereign God, including all the powerhouses in the universe like the Heavenly Emperor and the gods.
Because, within this universe, they could not break through to the Sovereign realm.
This universe was like a prison, deeply suppressing them.
The advantage of becoming the supreme ruler of the universe was that one could utilize the limited resources to comprehend the essence of Sovereign, without which you could not understand what it feels like to domineer over heaven and earth.
This was an enlightenment of the spirit, with immense benefits.
Chu Yuan was able to break through to the Supreme Divine Triple Heaven because of the vast national destiny of the unified Divine Martial Dynasty.
"Sovereign ah, if one does not truly rule over the universe, one will forever be suppressed by it,"
Chu Yuan said.
After becoming the sovereign ruler of the universe, he gradually became aware of more things.
Nine cosmic cycles were the restrictions of the universe.
Every cycle that passed, the universe would exert terrifying forces upon you; after the ninth cycle, the horrendous suppression prevented anyone from leaving the universe to find peaceful exile.
The only place for such exile was within the Reincarnation Realm.
Only after every cosmic calamity, when the universe falls into a state of chaos and destruction, can powerhouses like the Heavenly Emperor reemerge from the Reincarnation Realm, seeking to truly become Sovereign, transcending the laws of this universe.
"It's not so easy to be the sovereign ruler of the universe. The greatest enemy is not the Heavenly Emperor and the like, but the universe itself,"
Chu Yuan said indifferently.
Ordinary Supremes didn't experience such severe suppression, but someone like Chu Yuan, who had grasped the true essence of Sovereignty, would be the target of oppression, not even free to appear within the universe at will.
