Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System-Chapter 1081 - 181 The Fog Descends
Chapter 1081: Chapter 181 The Fog Descends Chapter 1081: Chapter 181 The Fog Descends Shangguan Feiyu, who was walking over, appeared gentle and calm, smiling.
But if anyone were deceived by her facade, they would be gravely mistaken and would certainly pay the price.
Chu Yuan had learned from intelligence that this woman’s true nature was ruthless and brutal; countless had died at her hands.
She was calm in front of him simply because of the strength of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Although there had been some skirmishes between the Empire and Yuan Mo Sect recently, they were insignificant when compared to mutual interests, and Shangguan Feiyu also knew better than to contend too much with this Empire.
“I hope to maintain a friendly relationship with the Divine Martial Dynasty during our time on the Tongtian Celestial Mountain,”
Shangguan Feiyu said.
She too had sensed the malice and conspiracy of the two great dynasties.
She was smart and her meaning was clear; Yuan Mo Sect would not erupt into conflict with the Divine Martial Dynasty on Tongtian Celestial Mountain, and if possible, hoped to form an alliance.
“Maintaining a friendly relationship with Yuan Mo Sect is also my hope,”
Chu Yuan said with a smile, acknowledging the need for diplomatic facades.
“Let us ascend the divine mountain, to break through to the Supreme!”
During the conversation between Chu Yuan and Shangguan Feiyu,
suddenly, a large group of people aggressively ascended the Tongtian Celestial Mountain, all bearing the same emblem—it was Tian Duan City, taking the lead in climbing the mountain to begin their treacherous journey of cultivation.
Seeing the people of Tian Duan City ascend, a large number of powers quickly followed suit.
“War God leads the team, the Sun, Moon, and Star gods, along with Shen Youzhe and the Revivers, will also ascend the divine mountain,”
Chu Yuan commanded.
He wasn’t going to ascend just yet.
Although he knew his actual strength was still that of a Sovereign of the third realm, Tian Duan Mountain saw him as an extremely formidable Supreme God and, without knowing his true abilities, Tian Duan City wouldn’t let him pass.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the turn of the Supreme God to reach the summit, to see what mysteries the Tongtian Celestial Mountain contained, which drew so many powerful beings.
Even Tian Duan City shone brightly because of it.
A large number of people were ascending at this moment.
This was the most tranquil period for Tongtian Celestial Mountain in two million years; normally, fierce winds and lightning, chaotic laws, and various heavenly disasters and divine calamities would make it ten times more dangerous than now.
Immortal.
Supreme.
Sovereign.
The directly ascending Tongtian Celestial Mountain had three realms, and the monks from each realm ascended to different heights; large-scale battles were generally contained within these realms.
This was an unspoken rule.
Enveloped in mist, the gods of the Sovereign realm instantly reached a tremendous altitude.
Only the vision of a Supreme God could penetrate the void in the twisted laws of Tongtian Celestial Mountain and glimpse what was happening above.
“Divine Martial Dynasty.”
Shangguan Feiyu stood beside Chu Yuan.
She also covertly probed Chu Yuan’s strength, only to find herself shocked, as he was like an inscrutable deep abyss, with boundless darkness and a terrifyingly powerful force that swallowed up all her perception.
“This man is mysterious, his strength immeasurable, and his ambition immense; he is indeed a leader of sovereign stature,”
Shangguan Feiyu thought to herself, “It’s best for Yuan Mo Sect to maintain a friendly relationship with the Divine Martial Dynasty for the time being. After all, we are no match for them. The real danger will come after the two great empires have determined the victor; that will be the ultimate test.”
She then smiled radiantly, without a hint of a sorceress’s demeanor, and said, “It’s been many years since I last ascended Tongtian Celestial Mountain. It was during that opportunity that I had an epiphany. After descending, I became a Supreme God.”
“Tongtian Celestial Mountain, to me, feels much more than just a mountain,”
Chu Yuan gazed up at the divine mountain, locating the position of the War God and the others.
“`
This time, the Sovereign God only had the War God, the three Celestial Generals of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, Shen Youzhe, and a few resurging individuals.
Compared to the grand troops of others, though few in number, they were elites among the elite.
“Indeed, this mountain is too strange. Even the strong City Lord of Tianduan cannot reach the summit, unable to discern its source.”
Currently idle, Shangguan Feiyu struck up a conversation with Chu Yuan, “Your Majesty, how do you think the war at Tianduan Mountain will proceed? Will both sides suffer losses and return to the status quo, or will a divine nation truly fall?”
“The likelihood of mutual destruction is minimal. They have been preparing for a long time and will not wage a meaningless war. I am more inclined to believe one side will fall. This battle is extraordinary, with the support of the thirty-three heavens’ forces. Even if one side were to fall, it is not for us to decide.”
Chu Yuan spoke indifferently, “What we can do is take advantage when one side falls, seize the benefits, and strengthen ourselves.”
“Oh? Why do you think so?” Shangguan Feiyu’s expression became more interested, “Perhaps we could change our approach, support the falling side, and maintain a balance in the Tianduan Mountain’s situation.”
The Emperor was mysterious and unpredictable. The Divine Martial Dynasty had also risen abruptly as a major force on Tianduan Mountain, and very little was known about them.
“Is balance something we can maintain?”
Chu Yuan said, “Even if both sides are weakened, given what we have done behind the scenes, both would be furious. To recover their vitality, they would turn around and immediately wipe out all forces except for Tianduan City. Then there would be no one left to undermine them from behind, and yet, they would fight again. This point, I believe, Xianzi would not fail to see.”
“Indeed, it’s a possibility.”
Shangguan Feiyu’s expression turned grave.
Yuan Mo Sect had also seen that even if they did not take the chance to seize benefits, their situation would not improve.
And it seemed the Emperor had foreseen all the dangers.
Comparing the disadvantages of both, it was better for one to perish first.
Since there was no good outcome for either, bolstering one’s own strength was the best choice.
“Then, Your Majesty, who do you think will emerge victorious? It is certain that Tianduan City will not intervene; the City Lord is wholeheartedly devoted to comprehending the Heavenly Dao and has reached the most critical period.”
Shangguan Feiyu wanted to hear Chu Yuan’s thoughts.
“It’s hard to say. Both have the shadows of two of the thirty-three heavens behind them. It depends on how much support they can provide. Thinking about this for now is pointless.”
Chu Yuan stated.
Shangguan Feiyu nodded and then fell silent.
They had both recognized the danger, and the choice in this war felt incredibly difficult.
At this moment, atop the celestial mountain.
With the War God as the spear and the three Celestial Generals as the shield, supplemented by the resurging individuals and Shen Youzhe, they rapidly ascended the high firmament.
“The pressure is getting stronger!”

The higher he ascended, the more pressure the War God felt. His speed slowed down as if a massive heavenly millstone was pressing down, causing both flesh and mana to quake.
The celestial mountain possessed tremendous pressure.
“I understand now why the celestial mountain offers the chance to achieve Supreme status!”
The War God’s flesh, pressured by an omnipresent force, was being squeezed dry as if extracting oil, urging him towards a breakthrough to Supreme status amid boundless pain.
With every breath he took, a torrent of energy converged upon him.
The energy of the celestial mountain was incredibly rich.
“This is not our limit yet; we continue to ascend, seeking the point of extremity, tempering the mana within us. Such an opportunity in this fine environment comes but once in millions of years.”
The higher one climbed the celestial mountain, the greater the pressure became.
The War God looked at the three Celestial Generals and the resurging individuals.
There was also Shen Youzhe, always lurking in the shadows; though he had not yet appeared, he knew that this formidable harvester of life was hiding nearby.
They were the strongest of the nearly supreme, chosen from within the empire, and their climb had already surpassed most, reaching great heights.
“The fog is rising—the most dangerous moment of slaughter is about to arrive.”
Shangguan Feiyu noticed a dazzling rain of light and fog beginning to envelop and spread over the celestial mountain, the light refracting.
Within the chaotic laws of the god mountain, when this inscrutable fog approached, even Supreme Gods would find it hard to discern what was happening inside.
