The Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate stood with a majestic and awe-inspiring presence, like a peerless Supreme Divine King. The Dao of Life and Death transformed into two majestic heavenly dragons—one yin, one yang, one life, one death—two completely opposite Great Daos perfectly merged, actually giving rise to faint wisps of primordial Chaos Qi. He slaughtered in all directions, attacking the alien race Great Sages.
In the blink of an eye, six alien race Great Sages were sent flying, coughing blood, injured by the Dao of Life and Death.
Even the other Sealed Realm Great Powers had to admit that the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate was an exceptionally special individual. He hadn't achieved Great Power status for many years; among those present, he had probably only attained the Dao slightly earlier than Xia Zhidi. Yet, his cultivation was unfathomably profound, unrivaled and supreme within the realm of Great Powers.
His existence could not be measured by common sense. Theoretically, even an Emperor's son shouldn't be able to elevate his cultivation so rapidly.
Yet, the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate was exactly that. No wonder even the Supreme Saint Emperor believed he might be connected to a certain supreme overlord from the Mythical Era, or even a reincarnation of that overlord, merely awakening his past life's power now.
The numerous alien race Great Sages wanted to charge forward, but the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate, wielding the Cascade Divine Sword, slashed down fiercely, reproducing that stunning sword strike from outside the Human Sovereign's city in days past!
Whoosh—
One sword severed heaven and earth; even a Great Power could not cross it!
As for the other alien race armies that had followed the Ancient Monarchs and alien race Great Sages in, they were also completely cut off, blocked outside that sword strike, which severed across the nine heavens!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Slaughter all the alien race, prove our Sealed Realm's invincible might!"
"Make the alien race taste the shame of defeat, fight to display our world's divine might!"
...
Shouts rose and fell one after another. They came from the various armies gathered within the Emperor's Pass, emerging from major powers and imperial clans. A vast army quickly assembled. While the alien race had millions of fierce soldiers, the Emperor's Pass also had countless mighty troops rapidly converging from all regions.
In the sky, terrifying legions appeared, led by commanders who were at least at the level of Samsara Supreme Beings. There were even Heavenly Kings personally serving as commanders leading their forces forward.
Roar— Roar—
Roar— ...
Terrifying roars echoed. It was the Fierce Beast legions, containing various fearsome Primordial Fierce Beasts, ancient exotic beasts with powerful bloodlines, and dragon-kind beings with relatively pure bloodlines. Numerous knights appeared, at least Saint Knights, riding Saint-rank mounts, with no shortage of Dragon Knights.
Naturally, the mounts weren't pure-blooded True Dragons, but dragon-blooded quasi-dragon great demons, like demonic flood dragons and Crocodile Dragons.
There were the powerful armies of the imperial clans; five hundred strong warriors combined with an imperial clan's peerless killing formation could wage war against a Heavenly King!
...
One terrifying army after another appeared, arrayed across the horizon, swiftly charging towards the alien race army cut off within the Emperor's Pass and unable to return, intent on sweeping them away.
Among them, the young supremes led by Ye Chen also joined the army, charging towards the alien race forces.
If they couldn't participate in high-level battles, they could fight at lower levels.
...
The war between the two realms was still erupting, but under this world's strategy of luring the enemy in, the alien race was instead at a disadvantage.
Although the Sealed Boundary Universe side also suffered casualties, with even three ancient Great Sages perishing, the alien race's losses were more severe. Because this place was essentially the gathering ground for the strongest of the entire Sealed Boundary Universe, and with top-tier Great Powers like the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate present, they had slaughtered over half of the alien race Great Sages. The alien army's casualties were disastrous, almost completely annihilated.
Meanwhile, the Tyrant Heaven Monarch was confronting the Eight Peaks Monarch, their battle extremely fierce.
Millions of li of land collapsed, countless mountains turned to dust, the earth completely disintegrated.
And this was only within the vicinity of the Emperor's Pass, isolated by the combined protection of the Emperor's Pass itself, the Emperor Realm's origin, and the Emperor Tower. Otherwise, it would have been far more terrifying.
Because this was Ancient Monarchs at war, a rare sight throughout history, with peerless might. Over half of the vast, boundless ancient realm of the Emperor's Pass would have been completely enveloped, destroying everything.
"Eight Peaks Monarch, today you are destined to fall here!"
The Tyrant Heaven Monarch continuously swung the Heaven-Sundering Divine Hammer, boundless laws swirling, annihilating the heavens, omnipotent. This was the heavenly might of a Monarch, capable of sweeping away everything.
"Tyrant Heaven, you are too confident. Who will emerge victorious is still unknown!"
The alien race Ancient Monarch's voice was vast, deafening to the ears.
"In the previous epoch, even the mobilization of the alien race Emperors was futile, let alone just you, a single alien race Ancient Monarch. No matter how strong you are, it's useless!" the Tyrant Heaven Monarch said. "Unless an Emperor takes action. But do you think your realm's Emperor can make a move?"
"Hmph, if not for those people, our realm's Emperor would have long since breached the Emperor's Pass," the Eight Peaks Monarch snorted coldly, his words tinged with hatred.
This was puzzling. It seemed the alien race Emperor's inability to move was influenced by certain individuals, and the matter was far from simple.
"Eight Peaks, today you shall remain completely within the Emperor's Pass. This is the best place to bury you, not unworthy of your status!"
"Tyrant Heaven Refining Saint!"
The Tyrant Heaven Monarch suddenly roared, his voice shaking the heavens, echoing through the tenfold Emperor's Pass. Boundless, unfathomable might surged forth. Ten thousand layers of fiery radiance erupted from his body, then surged towards the Eight Peaks Monarch.
Each divine radiance represented a supreme Dao principle. Ten thousand layers of divine radiance were like the myriad Daos of the heavens, submerging the Eight Peaks Monarch. The Tyrant Heaven Monarch was unleashing his ultimate divine ability, intending to completely refine the alien race Eight Peaks Monarch.
The Eight Peaks Monarch roared in fury, feeling as if his entire being was about to be incinerated. Even his eight origin demon peaks couldn't completely withstand it. Countless wounds appeared all over his body, vast amounts of pitch-black demon blood spurting out, corroding the void. Yet, before it could even hit the ground, it was directly incinerated to nothingness by the ten thousand layers of Dao principles.
Whether from the Sealed Boundary Universe or the alien race universe, all the powerhouses watching felt their hearts tremble with shock. The Tyrant Heaven Monarch was so domineering, actually attempting to refine a Monarch! What magnificent, world-shaking boldness!
"Lord Eight Peaks!"
The alien race Great Sages wanted to rush to the rescue, but were intercepted by the myriad Great Powers, unable to help. They could only watch helplessly.
"Eight Peaks, go. Let me send you on your way. Falling by my hand, buried on the battlefield, is better than decaying with the passage of time," the Tyrant Heaven Monarch said. Tyrant Heaven Refining Saint was the ultimate secret of the Tyrant Heaven Refining Saint Art—refining the heavens!
"Tyrant Heaven, you are indeed strong. But wanting to kill me still falls a bit short in attainment," the Eight Peaks Monarch said. Though covered in wounds, with most of his demonic mist refined away, revealing his blood-soaked demonic body, his voice at this moment was calm. "Haven't you noticed?"
"Hmm?" The Tyrant Heaven Monarch's expression changed slightly. Because by now, although the Emperor's Pass Heavenly Gate was still closing, it was strange that after such a long time, it hadn't completely shut. It shouldn't be like this.
For some reason, he had a bad premonition, as if something unfavorable was about to happen.
"Indeed, I alone cannot breach the Emperor's Pass. But what if a few more join me!" The Eight Peaks Monarch sneered.
"What? Could it be!?"
The myriad powerhouses all changed color. Even the Tyrant Heaven Monarch seemed to shift his expression. At this very moment, outside the Emperor's Pass, several supremely powerful and blazing auras erupted, equally boundless and mighty, surpassing that of Great Powers!
