At this moment, Chu Yuan was preparing for the battle that was to come.
The Five Ancient Emperors were also doing the same.
It seemed as if they had only fought to a draw, but the blow to their morale was immense. In their eyes, even a draw felt like a loss, as long as they didn't win.
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
The gravelly voice of the Earthly Yellow Great Emperor spoke, "Although this battle seems to be a stalemate with neither side gaining a significant advantage, we have still lost. The Divine Martial Emperor has been growing in strength at a terrifying rate each passing day. What are our plans for the future battles?"
Without conquering the eternal world, even their slow and arduous cultivation seemed unlikely to allow them to achieve the strength of a World God.
"We shouldn't have retreated at that time. As this Emperor sees it, even at the risk of our own lives, we should still eliminate him forcefully!"
Ever since the Fire-Burning Fen Tian Great Emperor returned, he found that the situation was not as easily dominated as he had envisioned. A series of defeats had made him increasingly irritable, unable to suppress his anger, "I can't believe that he is invincible. As long as we fear nothing, we can surely deal with him!"
If they can't even handle the Divine Martial Emperor, he was on the verge of going mad!
"I've looked into the background of the Divine Martial Emperor. The rise of the Divine Martial Empire only began when he ascended to the throne. All origins lie with him. But the specifics are still shrouded in mystery."
The Green-Wood Everliving Great Emperor remained calm as usual.
"In fact, we can defeat him!"
The Black Water Overwhelming Great Emperor suddenly spoke, "Our failure in this battle was mainly due to our incomplete control over the power of the World God. Despite possessing the power comparable to a World God, we could not fully unleash it. Moreover, our cooperation was not flawless, with many gaps apparent. This is the reason for our defeat."
He could only think in terms of defeating him rather than the initial confidence of easily killing the Divine Martial Emperor.
"I've also noticed this point," said the Earthly Yellow Great Emperor, "During this period of rest and recuperation, we have to completely merge and consolidate the fortunes of our five great empires to truly form the power of a World God!"
The strength of the Divine Martial Emperor forced them to give up some benefits. After all, if they lose this war, they wouldn't be able to gain anything.
"Let's fight, we can't give him too much time."
Said the Five Ancient Emperors.
"The five of them have begun to fully unite."
Within the Divine Martial Imperial City, Chu Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed with shock as he watched the fortunes of the five great empires. Initially separate, they were now merging together to form a single, unified whole, concentrating on developing a more potent World God power.
The time is coming soon, and it won't be long.
The next time they make a move, it will pose an even greater and more terrifying threat.
Only when the five fingers are clenched into a fist can they deliver a powerful blow.
Now, the situation in the Eternal World has also undergone a significant change. After the previous battle, more and more Imperial Forces chose to dissolve and join the Divine Martial Empire willingly.
They understood that there was no place for them in the Eternal World anymore, the Divine Martial Emperor's mana was too vast.
In the presence of such a dominant emperor, maintaining their own imperial forces would be laughable and lead to a terrible death.
In this moment, when the Divine Martial empire needed the strong the most, they chose to join and take advantage of the situation.
Of course, Ancient Heavenly Demon, Saint Yao Guang, and Elder Wind and Thunder, these pinnacle-level strongmen still kept silent.
Chu Yuan didn't care about these.
These people can't make a significant impact on the situation anymore. The main forces in this war are the Divine Martial Empire and the Five Ancient Empires.
Inside the Divine Martial Empire.
Thanks to the three academic systems established by Chu Yuan, despite the devastating losses from the first battle, the people of Divine Martial had received training and were immediately replenished to join the army.
Despite the heavy casualties, this battle had boosted the morale of the Divine Martial Empire. The nation's will to fight was even more fervent and boiling. As long as Chu Yuan gave the command, they would willingly lay down their lives and march directly toward the Five Ancient Empires.
Within the realm of the Human Emperor, the Divine Martial has ascended to the imperial court, becoming larger in scale.
All kinds of resources were poured in without considering the cost, producing even more divine spiritual energy, allowing countless people to cultivate within it.
The Divine Martial Empire was founded on martial strength, with a flourishing martial spirit and people who loved battles.
"The next battle is coming, a decisive one, for the empire, we can only win, not lose!"
"Fight, fight, fight, Divine Martial fears nothing!"
"Dying on the battlefield is our destiny!"
The Divine Martial army didn't dwell over their previous losses but exhibited infinite fighting spirit, making an inevitable declaration of victory. They firmly believed that the Divine Martial Emperor could lead them to victory.
He then glanced at the System Space.
First, he used the 128 Divine Ability fruits received as a reward to upgrade the Great Sealing Technique from level six to eight. The remaining fruits were used to upgrade the Great Thunder Technique to level seven.
"Commence random draw."
Chu Yuan had accumulated five draw chances and decided to use them all.
"Ding! Host initiated a random draw and received a Divine Elixer x1."
"Ding! Host initiated a random draw and received a Divine Elixer x1."
After two consecutive draws, Chu Yuan obtained a Divine Elixer both times.
Although the Divine Elixer was capable of promoting mains gods to divine gods, granting the power of two divine gods, it didn't offer much advantage in the upcoming battles. Two Divine Gods at the first level were virtually insignificant.
"Ding! Host initiated a random draw and received a Divine Battle Axe x1."
Looking at this Divine Battle Axe, Chu Yuan recognized it as a potent sacred divine artifact, containing the power to break open the heavens and earth. However, it wasn't suited for him; it was best suited for the Divine Martial Giant Soldiers.
"One of the Divine Martial Giant Soldiers will carry the Emperor Divine Flag, and the other will wield the Divine Battle Axe."
Chu Yuan continued with the draw.
"Ding! Host initiated a random draw and received the Divine Drum of War Power x1."
This Divine Drum of War Power, when beaten, would boil the soldiers' blood and provide them with infinite fighting spirit, similar to the effect of the Emperor Divine Flag.
Now there was only one draw chance left.
"Ding! Host initiated a random draw and received the Curse of the Gods x1."
The Curse of the Gods: a curse of hatred that condemns the gods and leads them into the most terrifying depths.
"The Curse of the Gods!"
This Curse of Gods was sealed within a grey sphere.
The resentment within the sphere was strong, and a terrifyingly malicious curse was sealed within it. It was gloomy and horrifying, even though it hadn't been opened yet, the horrifying curse could be heard ringing in Chu Yuan's ears.
Immediately, he revealed his supreme bearing as the Human Emperor to resist the power of the curse.
"This curse of the gods is an evil force."
Chu Yuan placed the sphere within the System Space, "The biggest reliance of the Five Emperors is controlling a World God level world. With this world, even I would find it difficult to kill them. Therefore, the key to breaking the stalemate is to use a world to fight against a world, using the vast origin power to break it and extract the origin power that controls the Eternal World!"
His figure flashed, disappearing within the Divine Martial Imperial City!
