One after another, unsinkable divine islands hung in the sky. There were fearsome war fortresses and the terrifying war armies of imperial clans, their foundations fully revealed. All of this pointed towards the Monarch Holy City.
More importantly, the Ancient Monarch of the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan among them was wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon—a sword, the legendary Time Emperor Sword. Its entire body was forged from sacred white gold and was the supreme Emperor's weapon of the Primordial Beginning Great Emperor, containing all of this peerless Great Emperor's insights into time, capable of transcending time itself.
Now wielded by the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan's Ancient Monarch Wanyan Shiqi, the power of time blazed brilliantly, disrupting everything.
It was precisely because of this that moments ago, the boundaries of time were broken. Even a generation's Ancient Monarch Wusheng could not react in time before being slain, his monarch soul extinguished, his blood light dyeing the Birth Emperor Star red.
The true culprit had appeared!
Countless people gasped in shock. Perhaps they could never have imagined that the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan would be so bold, attacking at all costs and even slaying Monarch Wusheng here.
"Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan, you have such nerve!"
The other four Ancient Monarchs were furious and also felt lingering fear. If that strike had landed on them just now, they too would likely have been slain without any reaction.
The power of time was too terrifying, difficult to guard against, especially an Emperor's weapon of time like this.
However, precisely because of this, the four Ancient Monarchs were utterly enraged. The Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan was too despicable, actually taking advantage of their distraction to slay one of their number. If they did not act now, the consequences would likely be severe.
"Everyone, attack! Annihilate the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan, then explore the Fiftieth Pass!" The Donglin Monarch spoke, his words carrying endless killing intent that made the entire world shiver with cold.
"It should be so!"
No one objected, because the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan had violated the rules first by launching a sneak attack; they must be exterminated.
"Heh, wanting to exterminate my Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan? Or perhaps we exterminate you." Wanyan Shiqi gave a cold laugh. Wielding the Time Emperor Sword, he feared nothing and said coldly, "Actually, the nine Grand Masters spoke quite correctly. If you insist on exploring further, it won't be just one monarch who falls; it could be all of you."
Without a doubt, this was a frightening threat.
If even an Ancient Monarch could be silently assassinated and fall, what was impossible?
All of this could only be said to be because the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan's Time Emperor Sword attacked where they were unprepared, making it difficult to evade.
Boom—
At the same time, among the four Ancient Monarchs, one figure stepped forward. It was a black-haired elder from another imperial clan. From within his body erupted an unparalleled fiery radiance as he pointed into the distance at the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan and said coldly, "Don't think only your Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan possesses a supreme Emperor's weapon. We have one too."
Clang—
From his body surged forth a fearsome battle armor—an Emperor's battle armor. Its entire body radiated immortal light, its Emperor's Might vast and mighty. In an instant, it donned the black-clothed elder, completely covering every inch of his body, almost transforming him into an invincible Emperor Lord with peerless Emperor aura that shook past and present.
"The Jiuyan Imperial Clan! It's actually this clan!"
The Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan also changed expression. As fellow imperial clans, they naturally understood the situation of other imperial clans in the ancient cosmos. This Jiuyan Imperial Clan was one of them, and a particularly troublesome one at that.
The supreme Emperor's weapons of other imperial clans were all offensive ancient weapons. However, back then, the Jiuyan Great Emperor forged an immortal Jiuyan Emperor Armor and left it to the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. Once donned, while its attack power might not be said to be first, its defensive power was absolutely number one, with no weaknesses whatsoever. Even the space between the eyebrows was completely covered, making it like a turtle shell—its defense fundamentally unbreakable.
Unless it was a Great Emperor, even an Ancient Monarch like Wanyan Shiqi wielding the Time Emperor Sword could not break its defense.
How could they have imagined that an imperial clan like the Jiuyan Imperial Clan would come? Now they felt the situation had become extremely troublesome.
"You all attack the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan. I will hold off Wanyan Shiqi."
The Jiuyan Imperial Clan's monarch spoke. Having donned the Jiuyan Emperor Armor, his entire body radiated fiery light, with a terrifying supreme Emperor's Might flowing around him—immortal and invincible. He charged forward, the first to face Wanyan Shiqi, swinging a divine fist to strike, which was equivalent to an Emperor's weapon attacking.
"This Jiuyan Imperial Clan is truly shameless!"
Wanyan Shiqi was also rather frustrated, encountering an imperial clan monarch like this.
However, naturally he would not retreat. He immediately unleashed time secret arts, amplified through the Time Emperor Sword. Boundless light of time spread out, instantly affecting the domain of time.
The entire ancient cosmos seemed about to come to a standstill, especially on the Birth Emperor Star, which was the area most affected by the time domain. Even Ancient Monarchs were subject to great restrictions.
Other powerful beings had even their thoughts restrained by time. But light shone between Ye Chen's eyebrows as his thoughts churned, though he also felt immense hindrance.
Yaya by his side was the same.
Father and daughter—one mastering Chaos, the other mastering time—could only barely break the restraint and perceive everything.
In the distant sky, War Saint Qianxun, who also mastered time and space, was similarly affected. He looked at all this with shock and also gazed fervently at the Time Emperor Sword.
At the same time, Wanyan Shiqi made his move. Swinging the Time Emperor Sword, he unleashed one soaring, vast sword radiance after another. Each was like a stretch of star river, spanning heaven and earth, striking towards the four Ancient Monarchs.
Boom—
However, the several Ancient Monarchs were all cosmic overlords with peerless origins connected to the cosmos's source. Forcefully erupting, they could all barely move.
Especially the Jiuyan Imperial Clan monarch, who resonated with the Emperor Armor and was the first to break the time restraint, bearing the brunt.
One world-destroying sword light after another was unleashed, yet they were almost completely blocked by the Jiuyan Emperor Armor, exploding into brilliant light but unable to harm the Ancient Monarch within much.
"This Jiuyan Imperial Clan really is a turtle shell!"
Wanyan Shiqi swung the Emperor Sword helplessly; he simply could not truly harm his opponent. Moreover, the Monarch Holy City was also extraordinary, blazing with fiery radiance that actually managed to forcefully block these terrifying sword lights—it was simply somewhat unbelievable.
Of course, this was within the Monarch Holy City. After all, throughout history, there had indeed been Ancient Monarchs who emerged from it, achieving the Dao through it. All of this was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Monarch Holy City.
Boom—
The Jiuyan Imperial Clan monarch, aided by the Jiuyan Emperor Armor, emanated boundless supreme Emperor's Might, shaking heaven and earth, forcefully breaking the time domain.
After all, even Wanyan Shiqi could not restrain several monarchs who also wielded supreme Emperor's weapons for long; he could only briefly restrain them for a short moment. If not for the Jiuyan Emperor Armor, this immortal battle armor, this bit of time would have been enough for the Ancient Monarchs to accomplish too many things.
The monarch battle was about to begin. The Eternal Conference had indeed touched upon the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan's taboo, provoking this imperial clan to attack at all costs.
The four Ancient Monarchs jointly pressed towards the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan, intending to exterminate this ancient imperial clan from the world.
"Hmph, the Birth Emperor Star is my Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan's territory. Do you really think you can easily attack and exterminate my imperial clan?"
From within the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan, Imperial Son Wanyan Bupo snorted coldly. His entire body radiated the most terrifying light as he sat cross-legged in the void, continuously tracing out one mysterious and profound Great Dao trajectory after another. With each Great Dao trajectory that descended, thousands of strands of dawn light scattered, merging into the void.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, from the ancient realm of the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan, a fearsome formation was slowly emerging—enormous and massive, enough to cover the entire starry sky. Its entire body blazed with the most terrifying supreme Emperor's Might.
"That's an Emperor Formation!?"
Many people changed expression. This was clearly an Emperor Formation, laid down by a supreme Great Emperor. Once fully revived, it would be no less than a Great Emperor making a move—frighteningly terrifying.
Now, under the Primordial Beginning Imperial Son's control, it was clearly about to truly revive.
It could be seen that the Primordial Beginning Imperial Son sat cross-legged in the void, continuously brushing out wisps of Great Dao rules, stirring the heavens. The Emperor Formation's trajectories continuously manifested, boundless Emperor's Might faintly emerging, vast and world-shaking.
"Not good! We must stop him quickly!"
Even the four Ancient Monarchs changed expression. With an Emperor Formation attacking, even Ancient Monarchs would face immense danger.
The Jiuyan Imperial Clan monarch and another Ancient Monarch made their move, jointly restraining Wanyan Shiqi. Their Emperor's Might interfered with each other, so even Wanyan Shiqi could not break free for a while.
The Donglin Monarch and another monarch charged towards the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan, absolutely not allowing the Emperor Formation to revive.
Other imperial clan powerhouses all surged forth, naturally not permitting anyone to interfere.
The Primordial Beginning Imperial Son, however, focused all his efforts on stirring the Emperor Formation's power, vowing to teach the other side a terrible lesson!
A world phantom rose and fell—that was the source Emperor World, the Emperor World opened by the Primordial Beginning Great Emperor, generating vast curtains of light. Even the two Ancient Monarchs could not truly break into the Emperor World phantom in a short time.
But the monarch's heavenly might remained peerless, like raging waves, pounding the Emperor World phantom until it shook violently, almost on the verge of shattering.
This also worried the many powerhouses of the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan.
However, the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan's foundation was unfathomably deep. They even summoned the Emperor City to block.
"An Emperor City? So what? Summon the Holy City!"
The Donglin Monarch snorted coldly. He and the other Ancient Monarch both acted, intending to summon the Monarch Holy City. The power of this immortal Holy City was not much weaker than an Emperor City, bearing the Great Dao imprints of numerous heavenly monarchs, making it extremely extraordinary.
Boom—
Suddenly, a terrifying loud explosion erupted, even drawing the attention of the several Ancient Monarchs.
The void was torn open on a massive scale. The entire vast heaven and earth were split in two, revealing an enormous spatial rift.
From within, a majestic, gigantic ancient city could faintly be seen slowly emerging, carrying an ancient, dust-sealed aura.
Upon the ancient city were three large characters—
The Fiftieth!
