A majestic figure stood tall, supporting the heavens and the earth. Though its true visage was unclear, its boundless, heroic bearing was evident, accompanied by vast, endless, dazzling golden light.
He was so peerlessly majestic, his Emperor's might radiating.
At this moment, an unparalleled imperial aura bloomed and spread throughout the starry sky, reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworlds, compelling all living beings across the myriad realms to submit.
An ultimate will was awakening within him, dominating the boundless heavens and earth. Alongside the endless golden radiance, innate holy spirits like the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise circled around him, adding to his form. Chaotic surges and scenes of world creation manifested, setting him off as even more peerlessly majestic.
The ten directions fell silent; all living beings of the myriad realms had to kowtow here, to prostrate themselves in worship!
"Great Emperor!"
Everyone in this starry sky had to change color. This was the invincible divine bearing of a peerless Great Emperor, forcing even the Great Powers of the myriad realms to submit completely, lowering their proud heads in a grand salute!
The emergence of a supreme Great Emperor was an earth-shattering event for the mortal world, for after the Mythical Era, there had been no Emperors. This universe had fallen into an epoch without Emperors.
How many millennia had passed in the vastness of time? With Emperors absent, compared to the supremely glorious and prosperous Mythical Era, this was an epoch that had withered to its extreme.
Now, had a supreme Great Emperor finally appeared?
However, the Qin family's Great Power and the Qin family powerhouses below were all shocked, feeling awe and reverence from the depths of their hearts, looking up with unparalleled excitement originating from the depths of their souls.
"It's the Progenitor!"
They recognized this figure as the true founding Progenitor of the Qin family, so peerlessly majestic. In the Mythical Era, he was the Sovereign of Formlessness, hailed as the King of Monarchs, the strongest beneath the Great Emperors.
No one expected him to appear, forcing everyone to submit.
In the distant sky, at the edge of the spatial rift that had severed the starry sky with a single sword, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was radiant with flowing light, releasing an unfathomable aura. He did not submit, did not lower his head. He was extraordinary, gazing at the majestic figure of the Sovereign of Formlessness, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Boom—
Behind him, an incredibly tall ancient gate flickered faintly, releasing an unfathomable aura consistent with the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's own, but far more terrifying.
On the other side of the starry sky rift, the old fossil who had once vied for supremacy with the contemporary Human Sovereign, only narrowly losing by a single move, quietly straightened his bent back. His profound eyes became many times more fearsome, yet he also did not lower his head, looking at that Sovereign of Formlessness, whose fame was boundless throughout the ages.
"Has the invincible Sovereign of Formlessness from the Mythical Era revived?"
Whether in the starry sky or in the center of the Myriad Domains below, all felt the boundless, majestic divine might radiating from that majestic figure, transcending above all the myriad Daos of the heavens—it was the true heavenly might of an Emperor.
Vast and mighty, boundless pressure was released. Not to mention the center of the Myriad Domains, even beyond it, this majestic Emperor's might surged for who knew how many tens of thousands of li, affecting many great domains. All felt the blazing Emperor's might radiating, forcing all living beings of the myriad realms to submit.
Any living being who sensed that supreme Emperor's might felt reverence and submission from the depths of their hearts. Countless beings prostrated themselves in worship.
Across the myriad realms, some reclusive giants sensed something in their hearts, gazing toward the center of the Myriad Domains with shock and disbelief.
Countless people were astonished. Could it be that the Sovereign of Formlessness from the Mythical Era, hailed as the King of Monarchs, was about to revive?
Rumors said he had fallen during the Great Cataclysm of the Mythical Era. If he were to revive now, what an earth-shattering event it would be, capable of influencing all eternity.
"Progenitor!"
Especially the Qin family's powerhouses, led by Great Power Qin Ye, appeared in the starry sky, kneeling respectfully in worship. That was the Progenitor who founded the supreme Qin family, the most glorious, peerless existence, the most powerful Monarch, also hailed as a peerless being daring to battle an Emperor.
He had revived, his heroic bearing peerless, making all beings look up in admiration. Their blood energy boiled, filled with surging excitement and endless joy.
If the Progenitor revived and returned, the Qin family could truly dominate the myriad realms, dare to challenge the Supreme Human Sovereign, contend for the power to dominate the Myriad Domains, even replace the Human Sovereign Palace as the number one power across the myriad realms, forcing all Emperor Clans to bow their heads.
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
However, the Sovereign of Formlessness stood high above, peerlessly majestic, letting the endless golden light around him illuminate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, echoing through the vast starry sky.
He did not look toward the Qin family, sweeping his gaze past them, calm and composed. This made all members of the Qin family change color. What was going on?
Yet, the Sovereign of Formlessness's gaze fell upon Ye Chen, who held the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd. Under that gaze, the Battle Saint blood within Ye Chen's body involuntarily boiled, surging and swelling. Golden blood energy bloomed, inundating the heavens, astonishing everyone with the peerless, majestic blood energy of the Battle Saint King, surpassing even that of a Great Power.
"Very pleased. The Battle Saint lineage has produced such a stunning junior. It is this lineage's fortune." The Sovereign of Formlessness spoke, full of praise and admiration for Ye Chen.
This made the Qin family powerhouses change color one after another, unable to resist saying, "Progenitor, this—"
"I am not your Progenitor." The Sovereign of Formlessness spoke, shaking his head slightly in denial.
Not only the Qin family powerhouses, but even the other Great Powers of the myriad realms changed color. The Sovereign of Formlessness was actually not the Qin family's Progenitor? It was shocking.
The Qin family members were filled with disbelief. They had always taken pride in the Sovereign of Formlessness being their Progenitor, been arrogant about it. How could he not be?
After all, even in the blood of these Qin family descendants, there was a trace of gold, influenced by the Saint Body's blood. This was sufficient to prove it.
"Because he is not the true Sovereign of Formlessness, merely the deity within the Primordial Battle Body, imitating its master's form and spirit. Because it is the Sovereign of Formlessness's battle weapon, it shares the same source of aura and majestic heavenly might. You have all misunderstood."
From the other side of the starry sky rift, the peerless old fossil from the Human Sovereign Palace spoke, his eyes profound, his voice indifferent, revealing the true origin.
The world finally understood. After all, the Sovereign of Formlessness had fallen. How could he possibly revive? It was the deity within his battle weapon awakening, reviving, manifesting all this.
Because its master was the Sovereign of Formlessness, the deity imitated him, sharing the same source of aura. Moreover, with the Emperor's might released, it was difficult to judge whether it was the true Sovereign of Formlessness.
"Progenitor!"
The Qin family members were deeply disappointed. The true Progenitor, the Sovereign of Formlessness, had ultimately fallen and could not revive. What had appeared was merely the deity of his peerless battle weapon that had fought alongside him in the past, leaving them with great regret.
Many powerhouses also felt regret, for the current universe of the Myriad Domains lacked true Emperors. Moreover, after the Tenth Emperor's Pass, the alien race was again eyeing them covetously, filling this world's universe with worry.
If the Sovereign of Formlessness had truly revived, it would have held extraordinary significance for the universe of the Myriad Domains.
Yet, Great Power Qin Ye spoke up, pleading, "Though you are not the true Progenitor, you are the peerless battle weapon deity that followed by the Progenitor's side, equivalent to another Progenitor of our Qin family. We beg you to return to the Qin family. Our entire Qin family will enshrine you on the ancestral altar, worshiping you for generations."
"We beg you to return!"
The Qin family's Patriarch, Qin Ziyang, and other important Qin family figures all spoke, very respectfully, their attitude sincere, hoping this peerless battle weapon of their Progenitor could return.
Ye Chen changed color. If the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd returned to the Qin family, his loss would be immense.
However, he could not stop it either. All this depended on the will of the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd's deity.
Yet, the battle weapon deity shook its head, its voice shaking the starry sky, saying, "My existence is what the Master left for the Battle Saint lineage. The Formless Battle Armor is what was left for the Qin family."
The battle weapon deity's words made the Qin family powerhouses change color one after another. Ye Chen was overjoyed, gripping the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd tightly. It had not left after all.
"Why!?"
The Qin family powerhouses were very unwilling. Though the Formless Battle Armor was also extraordinary, being a Monarch's battle armor that could cover the entire body, capable of both attack and all-around defense, a rare ancient weapon...
However, the truly strongest was still the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd.
Because the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd was the invincible battle weapon that followed the Sovereign of Formlessness in his campaigns, hard and indestructible, even to some degree could be considered a true Emperor's weapon.
One must know that even a supreme existence like the Sovereign of Formlessness, who cultivated the invincible Saint Body, with a physical body as strong as a peerless Emperor's body, still carried the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd as his battle weapon. That spoke volumes.
"The existence of the Primordial Battle Body, forged from Nine Tribulation Gold, can only unleash its maximum power in the hands of a Battle Saint. It is also what the Master left for the inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage, to defend the invincible dignity of the Battle Saint lineage."
The battle weapon deity's words greatly disappointed the Qin family, leaving them very unwilling. This was clearly their Qin family Progenitor's peerless battle weapon, should have been obtained by them, enshrined on the ancestral altar, an ultimate battle weapon to awe the myriad heavens. Yet it was to fall into the hands of a Battle Saint—the greatest helplessness.
But these were the battle weapon deity's words, also words left by the Sovereign of Formlessness. The Qin family dared not violate them, for that would be the greatest blasphemy against their Progenitor.
The battle weapon deity swept its gaze over the Qin family powerhouses, continuing, "Before, I had been in deep slumber, unable to awaken. Now, nourished by the Saint Body essence blood of the Battle Saint lineage's inheritor, I have managed to awaken. Meeting you, the descendants of the Master, there are some of the Master's final instructions that need to be passed on to you, his descendants."
"What words?" Since it concerned the Sovereign of Formlessness's final instructions, the Qin family powerhouses dared not be careless. The Great Powers of the myriad realms also pricked up their ears, very curious.
"The Master said that he received the grace of the Battle Saint Patriarch, enabling him to cultivate the Battle Saint Art and rise within the Battle Saint lineage, taking pride in it. Though he fell, as descendants of him, the Sovereign of Formlessness, if in the future you encounter the inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage, unless that inheritor is a great villain, you must befriend the inheritor, treat them as an honored guest of the Qin family, and assist them when necessary without refusal."
"This is the instruction the Master left for the Qin family, not to be violated for generations."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone from the Qin family in the starry sky immediately turned extremely ugly!
