Boom—
The boundless bloody radiance reversed, and all the phenomena and dharma manifestations vanished. The majestic and imposing figure reappeared in the mortal world once more.
Tyrant Heaven Sovereign had returned. He had not fallen; his vitality was unimaginably powerful.
Only his face was deathly pale, his losses severe.
He had truly been subjected to too terrifying a pressure, forced to resort to self-detonation in an attempt to recover some of his disadvantage. Otherwise, if things continued like this, even without self-detonating, he would have been slain by the seven alien race Sovereigns.
It was not that he was not strong enough. As a Sovereign of the Body Refinement Path, he was definitely a cut above other Sovereigns. But the seven alien race Sovereigns were too fearsome. Unless one was a Monarch, or even an existence like the Formless Sovereign, which Sovereign in this world could match seven Sovereigns?
Undoubtedly, Tyrant Heaven Sovereign's all-out self-detonation was effective. It inflicted heavy wounds upon the seven alien race Sovereigns, causing each of them to cough up blood, their bodies covered in gore, with many parts revealing stark white bone.
Some even had half their demonic bodies shattered, their divine souls suffering the most terrible wounds, causing the momentum of the seven alien race Sovereigns to sharply decline by a large margin.
Yet it was difficult to truly kill them.
Because they were all Ancient Monarchs, beings revered throughout the ages, all supremely powerful and difficult to fall. Now, they coldly strode forward, raising three alien race imperial weapons to press onward, annihilating everything in their path.
Tyrant Heaven Sovereign's situation was extremely difficult. For a peerless Sovereign of the Body Refinement Path like him to be forced to self-detonate to wound his opponents spoke volumes.
Now he was even weaker, having expended a great amount of his essence, energy, and spirit. His expression was pale, yet he remained firm and unyielding, recalling his two Supreme Emperor weapons to reawaken and resist.
At the same time, the seven alien race Sovereigns attacked again, and their terrifying assault caused many Great Powers within the World Tower to cough up large mouthfuls of blood. For this was the attack of seven alien race Sovereigns; even through the World Tower, part of the world-destroying power still wounded them.
Ye Chen coughed up even more blood.
"I'll go!"
At this moment, Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord suddenly stepped out, startling everyone.
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord might be sufficiently dazzling and peerless, having achieved the Great Power realm not for a very long time, yet he had long surpassed many Great Powers, ranking among the peerless Great Powers. Severing the starry sky with one sword, slaying two Great Powers with one sword—all this was enough to prove his strength.
But no matter how strong, he was still within the Great Power realm. His opponents were Ancient Monarchs, many times more powerful than ancient Great Sages, not even on the same level. Stepping out like this was merely seeking death.
"Gate Lord!"
Ye Chen exclaimed in alarm. Xia Zhidi, Nine Void Divine King, Ancestor Taichu, and other familiar ancient Great Sages also tried to stop him. Even some Great Powers who had held grudges in the past were unwilling to see Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord go out to his death now.
"It's fine. I know my limits."
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord strode out, leaving the World Tower.
Although the Primordial Emperor World was currently in turmoil, filled with overwhelming world-destroying divine might that drowned everything, accompanied by supreme Emperor might that shattered the heavens, he advanced at a steady pace. Each step was firm, and he calmly avoided the waves of world-destroying power, heading towards Tyrant Heaven Sovereign's location.
"Heh, a Great Power has emerged from the World Tower. He looks quite good. I remember him; I saw him earlier slay two of our Great Powers with one sword and severely wound two others. Indeed, he possesses an invincible bearing within the Great Power realm. But does he really think a mere Great Power like him dares to join the battle?"
Eight Peaks Sovereign learned of Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's achievements. He was considered somewhat powerful, but in the eyes of Ancient Monarchs, he was completely insignificant.
Those below the Sovereign realm were all ants. Even someone as powerful as Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was, in the eyes of Ancient Monarchs like them, merely a slightly stronger ant.
The seven alien race Sovereigns paid him no mind, allowing him to approach, believing that this dazzling white-clad Gate Lord in the Great Power realm could never reach Tyrant Heaven Sovereign's side—he would be directly obliterated by the destructive power of the clash between the two sides.
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord continued to advance amidst the world-destroying might of the heavens. Each ray of light was a world-destroying light; even the residual waves were enough to severely wound a Great Power.
Yet he steadily pressed forward, his body enveloped in a special radiance, the Dao of Life and Death also rotating around him. Even though overwhelming destructive power lay before him, he passed through as if untouched, much to everyone's surprise.
Tyrant Heaven Sovereign also noticed. Knowing this Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was dazzling, he frowned slightly and said, "Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, you are brilliant, but you are not suited for this place. Do not die in vain. Leave the Tenth Emperor's Pass with the other Great Powers and await the arrival of the Human Sovereign."
"It's fine. Since I dare to come, I fear neither life nor death. I am willing to contribute my share of strength."
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's expression remained as calm and composed as ever, serene and at ease, as if nothing in the world could make him afraid.
Even death was like this.
"A Great Power dares to join the battle? Seeking death!"
An alien race Ancient Monarch sneered. While suppressing Tyrant Heaven Sovereign, he also struck out, unleashing a wave of world-destroying laws that swept towards Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord.
"Gate Lord!"
"Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord!"
Within the World Tower, Ye Chen and the Great Powers of the heavens could not help but exclaim. But after that wave of world-destroying laws passed, they found Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord still there, his black hair like a waterfall, possessing a special divine charm. Only his clothes were slightly tattered, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting!"
The alien race Ancient Monarch chuckled coldly, still unleashing waves of world-destroying laws. Tyrant Heaven Sovereign wanted to block them, but another alien race Sovereign suppressed him fiercely with an imperial weapon, causing him to cough up large mouthfuls of blood. The alien Sovereign said coldly, "Tyrant Heaven Sovereign, you'd better worry about yourself first."
Boom—
Laws surged to the heavens, Dao marks spread everywhere, destroying worlds into emptiness. Yet after everything, Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord remained, still striding forward steadily. Only the blood at the corner of his mouth flowed more freely, making him appear even more extraordinary.
In this world, how many could withstand the attacks of an Ancient Monarch without dying and remain like this?
"Hmm?"
The alien race Sovereigns' expressions grew slightly grave. Because this Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was indeed extraordinary. His own attack had not resulted in a one-hit kill, nor had it inflicted a severe wound. It seemed to have only caused the other party some injury, which surprised him.
This also astonished everyone else. Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had actually withstood the attack of an alien race Sovereign. Wasn't this somewhat extraordinary?
This defied common sense!
At the same time, Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had already arrived beside Tyrant Heaven Sovereign. He sat down cross-legged there and said softly yet firmly, "Tyrant Heaven Sovereign, let me lend you a hand!"
Under normal circumstances, these Ancient Monarchs would have scoffed. But having witnessed Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's extraordinary performance and his confident demeanor, they could not help but grow somewhat solemn.
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord sat cross-legged. Clad in white as pure as snow, like a banished immortal untouched by worldly dust, boundless light emanated from his body. Behind him, a majestic and grand Great Dao Heavenly Gate suddenly manifested, its aura vast and world-shaking!
