Without a doubt, it was the Ancient Monarch of the Soul-Restraining Hall who had finally arrived, bringing with him boundless, supreme heavenly might as he charged over, terrifying beyond measure, causing the Great Powers of the heavens to feel their scalps go numb.
"Hall Master!"
Within the Emperor Realm, the two remaining Great Powers of the Soul-Restraining Hall were practically in tears; they had finally waited for him.
How much time had passed? They had finally waited for the Hall Master of the Soul-Restraining Hall, an existence at the Ancient Monarch level, making them feel true hope.
"Battle Saint King, the Hall Master of our Soul-Restraining Hall has descended upon this place. Now it is your time to die!"
The two Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers, who had been in despair, now appeared radiant, having regained their supreme fighting spirit and becoming overbearing once more.
They firmly believed that with the Hall Master at the Ancient Monarch level arriving, he could absolutely suppress and kill this Chaos Young Supreme, the Battle Saint King, washing away their shame. Even if the other possessed a Supreme Emperor Weapon, he would be unable to resist.
Because the gap between them was simply too vast; even possessing a Supreme Emperor Weapon would be useless.
However, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. He still gripped the Primordial Battle Halberd and slashed forward, sending the two Great Powers flying, causing them to continuously vomit blood, utterly horrified: "You still dare to attack? Aren't you afraid our Soul-Restraining Hall's Hall Master will kill you?"
Even at this moment, the two were still threatening.
But Ye Chen merely snorted coldly, his gaze icy: "Why wouldn't I dare? It was already a fight to the death from the start. Am I supposed to be afraid now? And do you really think your Hall Master can smoothly arrive here?"
"What!?" The two Great Powers' expressions changed drastically.
Sure enough—
Another supreme Ancient Monarch aura swept through the Star Sky. It was the Snow Mist Monarch, blocking the path of the Soul-Restraining Hall's Hall Master, intercepting his charge towards the ruined Emperor Realm.
Boom—
The two most terrifying Monarch heavenly mights collided in the Star Sky. Though it was an intangible pressure, it was still extremely terrifying, directly tearing open countless thick cracks in the Star Sky, dark and capable of devouring everything.
"Snow Mist!"
From the depths of the Star Sky, an extremely dark and terrifying figure appeared, his entire body radiating boundless Dao pressure, shaking the Star Sky. He looked gloomily at the Snow Mist Monarch blocking his path, a chilling aura about him.
"Wang Yun!"
The Snow Mist Monarch also looked at the Soul-Restraining Hall's Hall Master, speaking coldly. The auras between them continuously rose, invisibly collapsing vast regions of the Star Sky and even affecting distant areas, causing several stars to explode.
This scene made the powerhouses of the heavens feel their hearts pound. This was a true Ancient Monarch; even their intangible pressure could tear stars apart.
In an era where Emperors did not appear, they were the truly invincible existences, dominating the entire ancient universe, towering over past and present, possessing the capital of invincibility.
The two opposing Ancient Monarchs meeting almost triggered a truly intense and terrifying great battle, drawing the attention of all the powerhouses of the heavens. A battle between such existences would be enough to rank among divine wars, second only to the previous Emperor battles. Though it could not compare, it would still be famous throughout history.
"Hall Master!"
The two remaining Great Powers of the Soul-Restraining Hall hurriedly shouted.
The Soul-Restraining Hall's Hall Master, Wang Yun, looked over. His gaze pierced through everything, seeing the scene, and he slightly narrowed his eyes: "There is Emperor aura. That great halberd is—the Primordial!"
The Primordial was famous throughout history. Any Ancient Monarch knew its origins, as it was the peerless battle weapon of Qin Wuxiang, the most powerful monarch of all time. He murmured softly: "So the peerless battle weapon of Monarch Wuxiang has truly appeared. That junior is the successor of the Battle Saint lineage. Hmm, and also a Chaos Cultivator."
In an instant, he discerned much of the situation. Especially upon seeing Ye Chen, it was as if he had seen a heavenly treasure. Even for an Ancient Monarch like him, his eyes erupted with the most brilliant light as he muttered to himself: "We've prepared for so many years, only lacking a Chaos Cultivator. Originally, we planned to capture that Chaos Hegemon at the deepest part of the ancient path. Who would have thought one would appear here? Although he can't compare to that Chaos Hegemon, he's only at the Heavenly King peak, not yet a Great Power, making him much easier to capture."
An Ancient Monarch could see through everything. Even though Ye Chen's current aura was equivalent to a Great Power, he discerned that it must have been achieved through some boosting secret technique.
Ye Chen felt a tremendous sense of crisis emanating from that supreme Ancient Monarch of the Soul-Restraining Hall. Even with the Primordial in hand, it was the same; that Ancient Monarch was too terrifying.
"Snow Mist, step aside," the Soul-Restraining Hall's Hall Master, Wang Yun, spoke, carrying an unquestionable authority and dominance.
But who was the Snow Mist Monarch? He was also an Ancient Monarch; who did he fear? Hearing this, he sneered coldly: "Wang Yun, it should be you who leaves. Don't forget, Ancient Monarchs do not casually intervene."
Wang Yun snorted coldly: "This Monarch naturally knows. But you should also understand that under special circumstances, we can also act. This junior has killed several Great Powers of my Soul-Restraining Hall, causing my hall severe losses. Naturally, he must be captured now and taken back to the hall for proper punishment."
But how could the Snow Mist Monarch believe Wang Yun's words? He knew well that the Soul-Restraining Hall had always been carrying out some heaven-shaking plan that could reverse past and present. Rumor had it they only lacked a Chaos Cultivator.
Originally, the Soul-Restraining Hall had set their sights on the Chaos Hegemon located at the rear of the Ultimate Ancient Path and had launched several attacks. But that Chaos Hegemon was too powerful, causing heavy casualties among the experts the Soul-Restraining Hall sent. To date, they had lost a dozen Great Power experts, with other Soul-Restraining Hall powerhouses too numerous to count.
They had even been directly blood-washed by the Chaos Hegemon in several Soul-Restraining Halls, which had once provoked the hall's great fury. The Hall Master at the Ancient Monarch level had even personally stepped forward to pursue and kill him.
Unfortunately, the Chaos Hegemon was transcendent and powerful. Even when an Ancient Monarch came, he could not truly capture him. Moreover, the Chaos Hegemon successfully returned to the Ultimate Ancient Path, even startling the invincible guardian of that section of the ancient path to step forward, intimidating and driving away that Ancient Monarch Hall Master.
Now that a second Chaos Cultivator had appeared, and a Chaos Young Supreme at that, the Soul-Restraining Hall had likely set their sights on him, hoping to take him back to the Soul-Restraining Hall to complete that world-reversing grand plan.
How could the Snow Mist Monarch allow this to happen? He immediately said coldly: "Wang Yun, you should know I won't let you take the Battle Saint King away. You'd better retreat."
"Is that so?"
Wang Yun did not retreat. Instead, his aura suddenly intensified many times over as he took a great step forward, exerting pressure: "Snow Mist, I don't want to waste words. Either hand over this junior, and our grievances can be written off. Moreover, my Soul-Restraining Hall can promise never to attack the Ultimate Ancient Path again from now on. Or we fight. But you should also know the consequences of this battle—it will shake an even vaster expanse of the Ultimate Ancient Path, causing your Ultimate Ancient Path even greater losses. You know the strength of my Soul-Restraining Hall."
A threat, a blatant threat!
