Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System
Chapter 69 - 69: Do Whatever You Want_1

Inside the temporary camp, hearing the news, the faces of many heads of various major sects showed shock and horror.

They had originally thought that

the large army of Dawu had come to the Southwestern Continent to expand its territory, and their invitation was more for the purpose of extorting some resources from them and intimidating them once again.

But what they never expected was that Chu Yuan actually directly demanded their complete submission, threatening to amalgamate all sects into the Great Wu Dynasty.

Everyone was incensed, they all were rulers of the Southwestern Continent.

Some were about to retaliate angrily, but Qingyunzi calmly spoke, "Emperor Dawu, you should know that we will not accept these conditions; this is not a negotiable attitude."

"You have misunderstood, we never stated that we would allow any negotiation. This is our Divine Decree, a notification issued to you all."

Chu Yuan swept his gaze over them, speaking in a monarchial tone, "From today onwards, the Southwestern Continent is under the rule of the Great Wu Dynasty. All sects are to disband their establishments on the spot. All powerful members of these sects are to be drafted into the army, following the imperial court's instructions for all their actions.

Additionally, anyone who dares to violate the law of Dawu will be executed without mercy. We will allow you some time to familiarize yourselves with the Law of Dawu. Any objections?"

Arrogant, domineering, and audacious to the extreme!

Although the Southwestern Continent did not have any transcendent powers capable of peering into the divine realm, there were nearly ten people who were halfway there.

There were innumerable practitioners of divine abilities and now Chu Yuan wanted them to dissolve their sects and merge completely with the imperial court.

These sect powerhouses, however calm they were, could not bear it any longer.

They were clearly not regarded at all, dismissed as disposable fish meat, to be slaughtered at will.

"Hmph! You are dreaming! From what I know, Dawu does not have many individuals halfway to the Divine Realm either. This Southwestern Continent belongs to us. Do you think that bringing a few hundred thousand soldiers will enable you to wreak havoc? Under the suppression of the top powerhouses, they will be absolutely useless!

You are ridiculously delusional!"

A strong man from a sect sneered, speaking aloud, "Emperor Dawu, although we are not sure how precisely you exterminated the Liuyun Sect, I can tell you that if you continue like this, you will have to pay a price!"

"Oh? What price am I to pay?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Declaring enmity against our sects, all the headmasters have reached an agreement to abandon all previous disputes and form a sect alliance, simultaneously rising against Dawu. We will eliminate all your hundreds of thousands of soldiers and destroy the entire Dawu nation!"

The sect powerhouse answered harshly.

Despite his blunt words, he was still expressing the collective sentiment of the powerful leaders of the sects. They were absolutely unwilling to have the interference of the Dawu Dynasty in the Southwestern Continent. Under the strong control of the imperial court, none of them would be able to live a good life.

"Who is he?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Answering the Emperor, this person is Feng Cheng, the headmaster of the Wind Spirit Sect," Lu Qianfu said.

"Correct, I am indeed the headmaster of the Wind Spirit Sect."

That Feng Cheng stated, showing no fear towards Chu Yuan.

"Very well. Pass my decree. Flatten the Wind Spirit Sect. Feng Cheng has provoked my wrath. He is to be executed."

A cold and ruthless voice came from Chu Yuan.

"Hahaha, you still want to execute me?" Although Feng Cheng was not quite halfway to the Divine Realm, he was, after all, a tenth-level practitioner of the divine abilities. He laughed disdainfully, "He really does think he's in his Dawu."

But his voice had barely faded when his pupils suddenly widened. Clutching his neck, a line of blood emerged first, followed by blood squirting out. His neck had actually been severed.

How did Feng Cheng die?

And who killed him?

There was a moment of pin-drop silence in the camp, eerie and soundless to the extreme.

Feng Cheng, though only a tenth-level practitioner of the divine abilities, was a well-known master in the Southwestern Continent. However, this supreme being died mysteriously. Just moments ago he was speaking loudly, and the next second his severed head fell to the ground.

After what seemed like a long period, a trembling headmaster finally spoke up, "Did anyone see clearly how Feng Cheng died?"

"Emperor Dawu killed him. If I did not see wrongly, you should have performed one of the three thousand divine abilities?"

Qingyunzi was by far the most powerful person present, and he saw Chu Yuan raise his hand just now. A black ray of light, thinner than a thread, flew out unexpectedly, wrapping itself around Feng Cheng's neck out of nowhere.

"You are quite perceptive. I did indeed launch one of the three thousand divine abilities." Chu Yuan had a pitch-black thread winding about his finger as he neutrally said, "It is the Great Severing Technique."

"What? The Great Severing Technique? As per the rumours, it can sever everything, even cutting through space and slicing apart the world!"

Qingyunzi was shocked. The three thousand divine abilities had different strengths, such as the Great Karma Technique, the Great Time Technique, and the Great Destruction Technique, all of which were extremely powerful. This Great Severing Technique was also one of the top divine abilities.

If Chu Yuan had just launched the Great Severing Technique against him, he would have been caught off guard as well.

And these sect powerhouses gradually understood the horror that the Liuyun Sect had faced.

Now, Chu Yuan's execution of Feng Cheng had terrified everybody. Without leaving his imperial seat, he continued, "My patience is wearing thin. Submitting to me is just an afterthought, but if you are stubborn, I won't hesitate to embark on a killing spree. Do not test my patience. I am certainly capable."

"Emperor Dawu, submission to you is absolutely impossible. We can adopt another method."

Qingyunzi was exceedingly apprehensive of Chu Yuan's power, "Although the Southwestern Continent is not exactly a land of affluence, it is near the ocean, vast and rich in resources. Our sects can contribute some treasures to Dawu. Your Majesty, what do you think?

And we also know that Dawu is likely to face a war, our sects can also dispatch some armies, form a sect army, and lend a hand to the Dawu imperial court."

This Qingyunzi was quite adept at understanding the situation.

He knew that Dawu was about to go to war with the Empire of the Four Hidden Nations, with millions of soldiers from both sides facing off at the border.

If it weren't for the formidable power of these nations, these sects would have already extended their grasp, forming a sect army. It seemed like they wanted to help Chu Yuan, but they were actually planning to loot the resources of the other side and reap the benefits.

This Qingyunzi was indeed an old, cunning fellow.

"Correct, we can accept these terms. Each of our sects can contribute ten individuals who are tenth-tier masters of the divine abilities and a thousand divine practitioners. I highly doubt you'll find such a number of divine practitioners in the whole of Dawu."

These sect powerhouses were agreed with this proposal, after all, they all wanted to plunder treasures from within the imperial court.

"You are indeed very ambitious, and your calculations are quite meticulous. But unfortunately, my appetite is far greater than yours."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, "It seems that without the death of a few more individuals, none of you will willingly accept reality. In the imperial court, we believe in the principle of the victor being the king and the defeated being the captive. And in your sects, you all believe in the principle of might makes right. Once a certain level of power has been attained, one can do whatever one pleases."

"If you want to do as you please, you'd have to see if I'd allow it!"

At this moment, an ordinary-looking man, with an unremarkable appearance that could easily be overlooked, had a sudden flash of killing intent in his eyes. Like a peerless assassin, he suddenly untapped his half-step to Divine Power, his blade cold as it came slashing through the air with lightning speed.
