"Desolate Heaven, the peerless battle weapon of the Formless Sovereign!"
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master's expression turned somewhat ugly. That level of battle weapon was not inferior to a Supreme Emperor Weapon. Even a powerful being like him, an Ancient Monarch, could be wounded by it.
Boom—
At that moment, Huang Di also suddenly struck like lightning. His demonic might was boundless, sweeping through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Although he was not yet a true Ancient Monarch, he was still terrifyingly powerful. His Heaven Sword erupted with endless demonic light, accompanied by various phenomena, as it slashed towards the Soul Forbidden Hall Master.
"Seeking death!"
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master roared, his voice shaking the cosmos. A fearsome great hammer appeared in his hand, inscribed with countless Dao patterns and swirling with dark light. He directly smashed it towards Huang Di.
Boom—
The two collided, causing this stretch of starry sky to continuously collapse. Although the void could quickly repair itself, it was swept up by a terrifying force that directly suppressed it, preventing any restoration.
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master's figure remained towering and unmoving, while Huang Di was sent flying back, blasted tens of thousands of miles away. The Heaven Sword in his hand also hummed, its light dimming somewhat.
In a direct confrontation, he was still no match for an Ancient Monarch, but he was not seriously harmed, only a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
If it were anyone else, even a peak Great Power, they would have been instantly grievously wounded, unable to escape unscathed.
This demonstrated Huang Di's supreme strength. His status as one of the nine overlords of the Ultimate Ancient Path was no mere fluke.
Swoosh—
Almost in the next instant, the three Imperial Sons and Daughters of the alien race also charged forward. Together, they activated a terrifying secret treasure, its entire body wreathed in blazing dark light, accompanied by formidable power, as it shot like lightning towards the Soul Forbidden Hall Master.
All three parties clearly understood that here, the Soul Forbidden Hall Master, as an Ancient Monarch, was the greatest threat. Until they reached that realm themselves, they could not truly contend against him. Joining forces to resist was the best method.
"You truly are a bunch of juniors seeking death!"
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master's expression was extremely grim. With a roar that shook the starry sky, a supreme Dharma Form manifested within it, blotting out the heavens and obscuring the sun, making the stars of the cosmos seem minuscule in comparison. The great hammer in his hand instantly swelled to an unimaginable size, not much smaller than the pyramid ancestral altar, and suddenly descended. Annihilating light poured down, covering heaven and earth.
Not only were the three Imperial Sons and Daughters of the alien race blasted away, but the boundless annihilating might also surged down, crashing towards the Emperor Body below. The Immeasurable Light enveloping it rapidly dimmed by a large margin.
Under the attack of an invincible Ancient Monarch, even the Immeasurable Light emanating from the Emperor Body could not hold out for long.
Behind the Emperor Body, Yuanchu Imperial Son also suffered immense pressure. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion turning much paler. However, he still did not leave, also bathing in the origin power surging from the two Sovereign corpses to heal his injuries.
Moreover, he strained to resonate with the Emperor Body, causing its aura to intensify further, passively defending.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
All three parties charged back once more.
Ye Chen naturally had no intention of giving up. Now possessing one-seventh of an Emperor's origin, if he could obtain this Emperor Body, it would prepare him for forging an invincible Emperor Body in advance.
If he truly reached that step, he would undoubtedly achieve the level of the Formless Sovereign before the Emperor Realm—the Sovereign among Sovereigns, peerless and unmatched, a legendary myth that would make anyone's blood boil with excitement.
Huang Di and the three Imperial Sons and Daughters of the alien race shared the same thought. This Great Emperor's Immortal Body was priceless in all the world; even Ancient Monarchs would covet it.
"Don't even think about it! This Emperor Body is mine!"
Whether it was the three alien Imperial Sons, Huang Di, or the Soul Forbidden Hall Master, none were willing to give up. They all fought fiercely for the Emperor Body.
Ye Chen also acted simultaneously. He unleashed his divine abilities, forcefully inserting himself into the fray, also contending for the Emperor Body.
Boom, boom, boom—
Terrifying fluctuations of extreme intensity continuously erupted, shaking the vast starry realm. The stars of the cosmos trembled incessantly, on the verge of complete destruction.
The four parties engaged in the most intense battle around the Emperor Body, the rumbling sounds unceasing.
Naturally, the strongest was still the Soul Forbidden Hall Master. Whether it was Ye Chen, Huang Di, or the three Imperial Sons and Daughters of the alien race, all three parties attacked the Immeasurable Light of the Emperor Body while simultaneously joining forces to assault the Soul Forbidden Hall Master, aiming to eliminate this greatest enemy first.
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master felt rather aggrieved. He was a generation's Ancient Monarch, hailed as an invincible existence, a hegemon of the cosmos who had always swept through everything. Yet now, he faced immense resistance.
All of this severely disrupted Yuanchu Imperial Son's process of absorbing the Sovereign origin through the Emperor Body. In an instant, it slowed considerably because the four attacking parties were all powerful, each possessing near-Sovereign-level combat power. Especially the Soul Forbidden Hall Master, a true Ancient Monarch whose attacks caused the Immeasurable Light of the Emperor Body to continuously rumble and steadily dim.
Whoosh—
From within the colossal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, terrifying Soul Divine Chains continuously shot out, intertwining in the void. While attacking the others, they accompanied the strikes of the Sovereign Hammer, actually managing to pierce a corner of the Immeasurable Light. Numerous Soul Divine Chains rushed in, entangling the Emperor Body.
"Come out!"
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master shouted in pleasant surprise, then erupted with vast heavenly might, attempting to pull.
"Don't even think about it!"
Yuanchu Imperial Son roared. Resonating with the Emperor Body, he greatly increased his own combat power. The Light of Time illuminated the cosmos, affecting the flow of time, and he also forcibly controlled the Emperor Body.
Boom—
The Emperor Body was briefly controlled. The previously unmoving, mountain-like Emperor figure shuddered, and all the Soul Divine Chains instantly shattered. Simultaneously, a terrifying Emperor Fist suddenly punched out from within the Immeasurable Light.
In that instant, the cosmos underwent a great collapse. Endless spatial cracks continuously spread out.
Ye Chen, the three alien Imperial Sons and Daughters, Huang Di, and the Soul Forbidden Hall Master all retreated like lightning, sensing a terrifying threat, not daring to linger for a moment.
Even an Emperor Body that had not yet undergone a complete transformation could grievously wound an Ancient Monarch with a single punch.
However, the Emperor Body was difficult to control. Even Yuanchu Imperial Son could not control it for long. Such control also caused him immense depletion, quickly exhausting him. He had no choice but to gasp for breath, recovering his divine energy.
The four parties all charged back like lightning, once again attacking the Immeasurable Light of the Emperor Body.
At this moment, none of them attacked each other. Instead, with tacit understanding, they focused on assaulting the Immeasurable Light of the Emperor Body, saving the final struggle for the Emperor Body itself for the last moment, leading to a chaotic battle.
"You're seeking death!"
Yuanchu Imperial Son roared, his eyes wide. He spat out a mouthful of essence blood—the purest essence blood of the Emperor lineage. It continuously flowed before landing on the Emperor Body, causing it to glow. Then, with a rumble, divine light blazed brilliantly, becoming incandescent.
Boom—
After the drop of essence blood landed, the Emperor Body glowed once more. In that instant, its eyes actually opened, shooting out terrifying beams of light that gazed into the cosmos. Under the rumbling, everything seemed on the verge of collapse.
