Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696: Will Eternal

The Mixed Primordial Secret Realm vanished, all the inheritances and treasures were taken by Chu Yuan, becoming the wealth of the Empire.

He didn’t linger, but instead, arrived directly at the Divine Capital in the next moment.

This was his second time facing the Divine Capital directly, but his strength was incomparable to what it was before.

Back then, he was just a minor Heavenly Dao god, but now he was a master of the universe.

His gaze upon the Divine Capital saw its majesty and vastness, a grandeur of an ancient divine dynasty.

From the outside, it seemed tranquil, but inside, every grass and tree, even every space, contained terrifying ancient killing formations.

If you took a wrong step, you would encounter terrible attacks.

It is precisely because of the existence of these killing formations that, over the years, no one has been able to enter the Divine Capital. Otherwise, the treasures inside would have already been taken, leaving nothing for him.

“Terrifying killing formations, still operational after countless ages.”

Chu Yuan’s gaze penetrated within, seeing sights others could not, but his expression remained fearless. He was here to empty the Divine Capital, to absorb the entire mine into the Empire’s territory.

And within this Divine Capital, there was endless energy.

“Everything will belong to the Empire.”

Chu Yuan, with absolute will, walked directly in.

His aura was expanding!

In the instant he stepped inside!

Boom! Countless ancient killing formations activated, with bolts of extreme lightning descending densely like Heavenly Dao retribution, aiming to destroy all those who dared to enter the Divine Capital.

Chu Yuan stood firm like the universe.

He covered the sky with one hand, all the lightning was shattered by a stronger giant force before reaching him. He stood there as an inviolable presence, the strongest Emperor.

Crash! Billions of time-spaces shattered like a mirror, turning into countless dust, each speck containing the deadliest killing intent, like swords and knives, sweeping away in hurricanes.

Heaven Alliance, Mixed Primordial Sect, Divine Capital.

The Divine Capital was the strongest among the three legacies, and the prohibitions left behind were much stronger than those of the Mixed Primordial Secret Realm.

Yet all the dust dissipated in front of Chu Yuan as he walked past directly. A vacuum formed around him, without any apparent action, all attacks vanished upon reaching him.

Even stronger waves crashed in, the kind of power that could kill even those of the sixth realm; unimaginable.

“Dissipate.”

Chu Yuan’s image at this moment was so grand and towering, he was like the heavens, his words becoming law, as he spoke, the giant waves felt controlled by rules, dissipating entirely.

He was too strong, though he hadn’t reached the sixth realm, his strength was unsurpassed, even beyond the sixth realm.

In the whole multiverse, how many could compete with him?

More killing formations were operational, and with each step Chu Yuan took, he faced the bombardment of ten thousand formations, truly a step with endless tribulations; obtaining all treasures in the Divine Capital was incredibly difficult.

“On the eternal path, many tribulations.”

Chu Yuan remained calm.

Though the Divine Dynasty perished, a colossal capital was left, likely with its own purpose.

He walked within the streets of the Divine Capital, each street embodying ancient civilization’s architectural style; many streets had shops open.

No living beings remained, yet Chu Yuan still felt the prosperity of the Divine Capital at the time. It would have been bustling, teeming with people trading.

His eyes seemed to witness the power of reincarnation.

He saw, on this street, countless people suddenly appearing, bustling, all engaged in their own activities, some talking, others exchanging Dao techniques.

Further into the Divine Palace, he witnessed even grander scenes, with strong individuals worshiping the Great Emperor of the Divine Dynasty.

He entered a shop, and inside, there were treasures from back then, still preserved by a force, yet to decay.

“The whole Divine Capital is a treasure trove.”

Chu Yuan was not interested in looting shop by shop, it was too slow; he needed to break the core of the Divine Capital and absorb the entire capital in one go.

“Will of the myriad paths.”

As Chu Yuan ventured deeper into the Divine Capital, he felt a powerful will, as if the Divine Dynasty was yet to fall; the figures passing before him grew ever more real, seemingly still alive.

This will was terrifying; those without firm conviction could be assimilated.

In the flood of all beings, countless people passed through Chu Yuan, while his soul remained unmoved, unaffected,

The streets of the Divine Capital were broad and grandiose, numerous; Chu Yuan walked along, arriving eventually at a gigantic plaza, paved with Eternal Divine Crystal!

The Eternal Divine Crystal on the plaza alone must have consumed tens of billions.

What immense wealth this was!

Beyond the plaza lay the truly grandiose Imperial Palace, able to resist time’s decay, unyielding, crafted from Eternal God Stone.

“Core of the Divine Capital.”

Chu Yuan was cold, stepping onto the plaza of the Imperial Palace.

“The body may die, but the will shall not, Sword Dao reaching the heavens, Divine Sword of All Living Beings!”

A thunderous voice echoed forth; if you thought the Divine Capital had only this level of power, you were gravely mistaken.

In an instant, a Divine Sword of All Living Beings emerged, not a true Divine Artifact but an energy gathering, bearing extreme killing intent, slashing at Chu Yuan.

The emergence of this sword threw heaven and earth into chaos!

Chu Yuan gazed at the Divine Sword of All Living Beings, having foresighted it. He stood grand on the plaza; this was a sword of will, aiming to eradicate his spirit and soul.

His vast will also surged forth, mana striking, displaying dominion over world forces.

His will was so overwhelming that upon clashing, the Divine Sword of All Living Beings could not descend.

“Myriad paths of all beings, my Dao alone reigns, Divine Dynasty eternal!”

Ironclad horses and gold armors, the flood of all beings, within Chu Yuan’s sight emerged the strength of all living things; it was troops clad in armor, charging out from the Divine Capital.

The will from ancient epochs roared in his ear, hearing it would make any human feel their blood boil, their internal energies uncontrollable.

This was the roar of strong beings from ancient epochs.

“The body may have vanished, but the will is not completely extinguished.”

Chu Yuan stood tall, mighty, gazing upon the will of the ancient divine dynasty, the flood of ironclad horses and gold armors majestic and grand, all so real.

Not physical bodies, yet the will shook the soul, making one feel its reality.

Chu Yuan felt he was battling with all beings, with myriad paths!

“My Dao unending, my Dao eternal.”

The army swung its fiercest sword at Chu Yuan, the power to slay will, opposing him from the spiritual plane.

Chu Yuan’s will also manifested, the power of reincarnation of worlds, with ironclad horses and gold armor breaking through; his divine and martial forces evolved, as if traversing time-space, confronting the army of will directly.

“All beings? Emperor to all beings, I shall command.”

Chu Yuan cared little for contention with these wills, instead gazing at the Divine Capital, as a force of spiritual energy from him blazed, a long rainbow piercing, shooting toward the Imperial Palace.

“My body may fall, but my will eternal.”
