"Hmph, don't even think about opening the ninth layer of the Divine Coffin!"
However, the three alien Imperial Sons all snorted coldly, their eyes gleaming with sharp light. They charged forward and attacked, each fully awakening the Imperial Bloodline power within their bodies, their strength also reaching an extreme level. They closed in on the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin and launched their assaults at the Yuanchu Imperial Son.
Boom—
The three Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens were all the strongest Supreme Heavenly Prides, possessing invincible Imperial Bloodline power. Now, as they attacked, even the rules of the Dharma-Ending Era could not completely suppress them. Their attacks tore through the firmament and arrived with a roar.
"Here, if you're a dragon, coil up; if you're a tiger, lie down!"
The Yuanchu Imperial Son sneered. He was not to be underestimated either. He activated his Great Dao divine ability and immediately shook the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, swallowing all the attacks from the three alien Imperial Sons.
Seeing this scene, the three alien Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens immediately changed their expressions. This change was unexpected.
At the same time, he swiftly attacked. The Wheel of Time sliced through the firmament, arriving like lightning, with vast amounts of Time power pouring forth.
Crash—
The three alien Imperial Sons were forcefully sent flying. In a direct confrontation, they were suppressed by the Yuanchu Imperial Son.
This was the Yuanchu Imperial Son's home ground, and with the assistance of the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, he received a significant boost. Even Imperial Sons who were invincible at the same level found it difficult to match him.
Clang—
The lid of the ninth layer of the Divine Coffin finally flew into the air.
Boom—
Simultaneously, the entire Star Sky shook violently. The pyramid ancestral altar rumbled, and from the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin atop it, a terrifying beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the vast Star Sky, becoming the sole existence within it.
At the same time, an aura of great terror poured down from the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths like lightning, surging through the boundless Star Sky.
Even the several Ancient Monarchs deep in the Star Sky were startled, each looking toward this place in shock.
Wan Yan Seventeen was filled with pleasant surprise: "Is the Imperial Ancestor about to be reincarnated and reborn?"
"This is bad!"
The three Ancient Monarchs on the other side all had gloomy expressions, looking as unpleasant as could be.
The peerless aura was unparalleled, clearly accompanied by the most terrifying Supreme Emperor's Might, continuous and endless, annihilating the firmament. Its fearsomeness was beyond measure.
This was almost like an ancient Great Emperor awakening from the deepest slumber.
"Is the Yuanchu Great Emperor about to be resurrected?"
The powerhouses all trembled in their hearts. They could clearly sense the peerless aura within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, surpassing everything, utterly incomparable. Even the Ancient Monarchs present seemed far inferior. This was the true, supreme Emperor's Might.
Hum—
Amidst the vast expanse of Monarch Dao Blood, a majestic, peerless figure slowly rose to its full height. It was accompanied by an unmatched Emperor's Dao aura that seemed to crush all heavens. The River of Time flickered faintly, and this vast Star Sky seemed almost unable to bear such boundless aura.
"Is this the Great Emperor's reincarnation body? Or is it the Great Emperor directly obtaining new life, having lived out a supreme second life?"
Many supreme powerhouses trembled. That kind of immeasurable aura capable of crushing all heavens was not something a Great Emperor's reincarnation body could possess. Perhaps it could be better described as the Great Emperor's second life, having dissolved all Dao injuries, obtained new life, and truly lived out its peak.
Everyone was about to despair, for if they truly had to face such a peerless Great Emperor, most of the people here would likely die.
Ye Chen stared intently at the Emperor's Shadow within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
However, after waiting for a long time, he did not sense the Great Emperor making a move. On the contrary, it remained standing atop the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, eyes closed, black hair disheveled, bathed in Monarch Dao Blood. Only the terrifying aura continuously rippled out, causing the myriad Daos of all heavens to continuously dissipate.
Moreover, the face of this figure was actually identical to that of the Yuanchu Imperial Son. Truly father and son, they were extremely similar.
Although Ye Chen's expression was grave, he showed not a trace of fear. His eyes flickered as he instructed those around him: if any accident occurred, they should immediately rush out of this Star Sky and return to the outside world.
If necessary, it was best to enter the Forty-Ninth Pass and distance themselves from Emperor Birth Star.
Although the few were shocked, they understood that facing a resurrected Great Emperor, distancing themselves from Emperor Birth Star was their greatest hope.
However, Ye Chen said, "Not because of the Great Emperor. If it were the Great Emperor, that would be one thing, but a disaster even greater than the Great Emperor's resurrection is about to descend."
The powerhouses around him were suspicious and puzzled, not understanding the meaning of Ye Chen's words.
Then, Ye Chen sent voice transmissions to familiar powerhouses like the Nine Phoenix Great Power, City Lord Jingtian, and Dan Chen, also slightly mentioning that they should leave this place early if necessary.
The several top-tier powerhouses were slightly stunned. Sensing the gravity in Ye Chen's words, they all nodded.
The Battle Saint King was someone they knew well; he wouldn't say such things lightly. There must be a reason, but at the moment, he seemed to have unspeakable difficulties.
"That's not right. That's not the true Great Emperor's reincarnation body."
Suddenly, the white-haired Imperial Son Shen Qian spoke up. What kind of Supreme Heavenly Pride was he? As an Imperial Son, his father was a generation's Supreme Great Emperor. Having lived in close proximity for many years, he naturally understood Great Emperors quite well.
Although the Emperor's Shadow before them was very powerful, its Emperor's Might vast and majestic—even the Ancient Monarchs were far inferior—neither he, nor the Poluo Imperial Son, nor the Imperial Maiden Gu Lan sensed the slightest fluctuation of an Emperor Soul from this Emperor's Shadow.
If a Great Emperor were to awaken, it would inevitably involuntarily emit wisps of its aura, thereby affecting the myriad Daos of all heavens, causing the Great Dao to recede.
But this Emperor's Shadow clearly lacked such Emperor Soul fluctuations. It only possessed the ancient, awe-inspiring Supreme Emperor's body, which was puzzling. Compared to a peerless Great Emperor, it was more like an Emperor's body that had lost its Emperor Soul—powerful beyond measure, yet lacking a dominant consciousness. It was a very strange state.
At the same time, Ye Chen's gaze instantly deepened many times over, landing on that Emperor's Shadow. Then, an unusually fiery radiance burst forth from his eyes: "As expected, was my guess correct?"
"Dad, what do you know?" Yaya and the others beside him were very confused.
Ye Chen spoke softly: "Based on the truth I've come to understand, if it's really not wrong, then what's before us is not the Great Emperor's reincarnation body at all. And knowing all this, I'm afraid it's all part of a huge conspiracy orchestrated by the Yuanchu Imperial Son."
"All of this is not for the Yuanchu Great Emperor's reincarnation body, but to carry out a world-shaking plan."
"What plan?"
Ye Chen's eyes instantly blazed like the sun. However, the words he spoke next caused everyone's scalps to tingle: "To trap and kill the powerhouses of all heavens, achieve his own self, charge toward the Sovereign Path, and prove the Dao to become Emperor!"
