Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: The Formidability of Shenwu

In an instant, an aura that shook the universe transformed into an endless storm, sweeping toward the Dutian Army.

The Lord of the Sea watched as Chu Yuan appeared before them, his presence embodying a singular dominion over heaven and earth, a dominance over the cosmos. Even as a Primal Deity, he could not afford to disregard such power.

There were divisions in strength even among Primal Deities.

The Five Realms of the Primordial.

The Lord of the Sea belonged to the weakest among the Primal Deities.

Whereas figures like the Dutian Lord were among the strongest, commanding vast divine realms.

Yet even the weakest Primal Deity remained a Primal Deity—their myriad techniques were an ascension of the Heavenly Dao itself.

“His power has grown stronger!”

The Lord of the Sea could keenly sense that Chu Yuan’s strength had increased. The tribulations he faced not only failed to destroy him but had instead further amplified his might.

This realization deepened his understanding of how troublesome Chu Yuan could be.

He was unlike any other Heavenly Dao deities, exuding a mysterious force that rippled through his very essence.

Indeed, the breakthrough to the Third Realm of Origin had granted Chu Yuan overwhelming vitality, boundless and inexhaustible. His strength had multiplied tenfold, meaning his Divine Abilities were now ten times more potent than before!

Amongst the starry skies, the Emperor’s robe was deep black like blood, exuding an air of conquest amidst chaotic times, accompanied by an overwhelming aura of iron and blood.

Chu Yuan turned his indifferent gaze toward the Lord of the Sea. “Lord of the Sea under Dutian,” he declared coldly, “however you wish to fight, I shall oblige.”

“The Divine Martial Emperor!”

The Lord of the Sea stared at Chu Yuan solemnly.

The rise of Shenwu had been far too swift. Although they had acted quickly, the other side’s advancement far exceeded all expectations.

“Arrogant! Insolent! Who does he think he is, challenging the might of the Dutian Army!”

Shizhu Yin snapped, “Lord of the Sea, give the order! Let the army charge straight through, annihilate his Divine Martial Dynasty, enslave his people, and seize all his resources!”

“There’s something off about him.”

The Lord of the Sea remained calm. “Do not act hastily. Maintain the army’s oppressive formation. I shall make the first move, test his strength, and determine just how powerful he truly is!”

Only by understanding the power of the Divine Martial Emperor could he devise an effective counterstrategy.

“Divine Martial, I challenge you to a duel!”

The Lord of the Sea took a step forward, and infinite primordial energy surged outward, each strand an exaltation of the Heavenly Dao. It was as if an endless ocean, impossible to cross even in eternal lifetimes, appeared before him.

He unleashed a palm strike, and the boundless primordial force coalesced, forming what seemed like a prison around Chu Yuan, dragging him into a bottomless ocean.

“Hmph! A Primal Deity’s move—he cannot resist!”

Shizhu Yin still harbored bitterness, unable to let go of the day when Chu Yuan had suppressed him.

“Come, then!”

Emperor Chu Yuan stood imperious, his brilliance radiating into eternity. Facing a Primal Deity, he did not retreat. The combined forces of the Tower of Ten Thousand Realms and the Sky City erupted simultaneously, exerting crushing pressure on the Lord of the Sea.

The Lord of the Sea had ventured too close to Chu Yuan’s empire.

The empire’s vast national destiny empowered Chu Yuan further.

“The suppression of two terrifying Divine Artifacts!”

The Lord of the Sea’s expression changed dramatically.

One force came from the Tower of Ten Thousand Realms.

The other was from a Divine Artifact he could not identify, one whose nature remained unclear.

“Hmph! No matter how many Divine Artifacts you possess, you are not a Primal Deity!”

The Lord of the Sea unleashed his power in defiance, striking with his palm. His strength was vast, and wherever his Mana extended, all oppressive forces shattered before him. Suddenly, he reached Chu Yuan, fingers clenched into a fist, delivering a ferocious blow.

Chu Yuan’s power was grand and boundless.

His left hand wielded an energy of pure and endless white, piercing through the heavens, while his right hand commanded a darkness as black as ink, combining the forces of life and death, yin and yang, light and shadow as they struck together.

“You may be a Primal Deity, but within my empire, your strength cannot manifest at full capacity!”

Chu Yuan’s energy surged like a vast ocean.

The two engaged in a frenzied battle. In mere moments, they exchanged thousands of blows, their fierce clash reverberating into the deepest recesses of the multiverse.

Infinite time and space splintered apart, unleashing surging dimensional storms.

The Lord of the Sea was strong, but even he could not dismiss Chu Yuan. The suppression of two Primal Divine Artifacts, both of exceptional power, combined with the blessings of the dynasty’s national destiny, pressed heavily against him.

His face grew increasingly grim.

Though he pushed his power to its very limits, Chu Yuan’s vast and indestructible energy was impervious. While the Lord of the Sea had not suffered defeat, neither could he overcome Chu Yuan.

“Troublesome!”

Wu Shang’s expression was heavy. “The Lord of the Sea is being heavily suppressed. Within the Divine Martial Dynasty, he cannot overcome the Divine Martial Emperor. There are too many terrifying Divine Artifacts guarding their national destiny.”

“I noticed,”

The Lord of the Sea fully understood the enormity of Chu Yuan’s power.

“To think he hasn’t been a Heavenly Dao Deity for long, yet his strength has reached such terrifying heights. We were careless, failing to eliminate him earlier when we had the chance.”

The Lord of the Sea shook his head. “I even suspect that, even without the empire’s empowerment, his power would already rival beings like the Thunder God. With the empire’s suppressive influence added, breaking through his defenses is nearly impossible.”

“Then what should we do?”

Their frustration grew apparent.

“There is a way.”

The Lord of the Sea contemplated their approach. “He is strong, yes, but that strength relies on his empire. Once he leaves its bounds, his power will diminish by more than half. We must keep them within and personally oversee them. I shall arrange the Dragon-Trapping Formation!”

“Very well, the Dragon-Trapping Formation!” encouraged the Dutian powerhouses decisively.

But just as he was preparing to contain Chu Yuan, his expression suddenly changed. “A message from the Heavenly Lord—Gu Yuan Heavenly Lord!”
