The Jiuyan Imperial Clan had actually been forced to this step, needing to call upon the Ancient Monarch slumbering within the Imperial Star to awaken and suppress and kill the Battle Saint King.
"Not good!"
Ye Chen's expression changed, and he immediately took action. He formed hand seals and struck the Chaos Cauldron, which instantly transformed into a terrifying beam of chaotic light that pierced through the endless void and blasted towards that Imperial Clan Great Power.
Boom—
That Imperial Clan Great Power, at most, was only at the third-layer cultivation level. Naturally, he was extremely powerful, but unfortunately, compared to Ye Chen, who was at the level of a Chaos Young Supreme, he was far inferior.
With one cauldron strike, he was directly smashed to pieces, his entire body completely exploding.
Unfortunately, that sun-like mark ultimately still exploded, transforming into countless beams of light that shot towards the Nine Colors Emperor Star, impossible to stop.
"Damn it!"
Watching as the countless beams of light completely vanished into the Nine Colors Emperor Star, Ye Chen felt a sense of foreboding. Abenue was the same, and even Mystic Dao Elder's face wore an ugly expression.
This was meant to summon that clan's Ancient Monarch.
"Let's go!"
Without another word, Mystic Dao Elder immediately waved his sleeve. A beam of light enveloped Ye Chen and Abenue, and he prepared to break through the void and leave.
But at that moment, a cold snort suddenly exploded, abruptly resounding through the cosmic starry sky.
At the same time, an even more supreme and mighty Dao power appeared—that was Monarch power, originating from the Nine Colors Emperor Star. Immediately after, it arrived carrying boundless Monarch Heavenly Might, sweeping across the boundless starry sky in an instant, vast and mighty throughout the universe, and even imposing a Dao blockade.
Blocking space-time!
Mystic Dao Elder, along with Ye Chen and Abenue, simply could not break through the Monarch blockade. This entire region of heaven and earth was completely immobilized.
"Damn it, the real old monster has appeared!"
Mystic Dao Elder's expression was extremely ugly. Clearly, he hadn't expected an Ancient Monarch to appear either.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, on the Nine Colors Emperor Star, an indescribably vast and majestic power surged forth violently, enveloping the entire Nine Colors Emperor Star. Within it, an immeasurably huge dharma manifestation that stood tall between the heavens and the earth appeared, majestic and gigantic beyond belief, its hair seemingly capable of coiling around the stars of the myriad heavens, its face dignified like the ruler of heaven and earth, impossible to resist.
The Monarch of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan—Nine Gods Monarch!
The Ancient Monarch of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan who had once gone to the Emperor Birth Star had finally appeared.
Nine Gods Monarch stood tall in the starry sky, causing the stars of the myriad heavens to tremble. The radiant starlight of the sky spontaneously surged forth, vast and mighty, completely submerging the unparalleled dharma manifestation, erupting with dazzling light, radiating an aura of majesty that could awe the great universe.
The Monarch's dharma manifestation looked down from above upon Mystic Dao Elder, Ye Chen, and Abenue outside the Imperial Clan's heavenly curtain. The boundless Monarch Heavenly Might could shatter everything; even an ancient Great Power would have to endure this boundless pressure.
"Your Majesty!"
The various Great Powers of the Imperial Clan, upon witnessing the appearance of Nine Gods Monarch, were all filled with excitement, as were the many clansmen and even the common people on the Nine Colors Emperor Star.
Nine Gods Monarch was an immortal existence second only to the Nine Colors Emperor, the strongest of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. His Emperor Bloodline Power was incomparably powerful. Now that he had appeared, it caused the many clansmen and billions of common people on the Imperial Star to tremble from the depths of their hearts, their souls filled with reverence and submission. All had to bow their heads and revere this peerless Monarch.
In the main hall of the imperial capital of the Seal Kingdom, the assembled civil and military officials were the same, all forced to submit without resistance. However, only upon the imperial throne, Yan Wu Shuang felt the powerful Emperor Bloodline Power within his body boiling, the rumbling sounds unceasing like raging waves, shaking hearts and minds.
He had obtained the Emperor Bloodline Power of eight Imperial Clan Great Powers, and even the Emperor Bloodline of the Jiuyan Clan Leader, Yan Tian Shen—all were fully activated, pure Emperor Bloodline Power. Throughout the entire Jiuyan Imperial Clan, his Emperor Bloodline Power was second only to that of the Emperor's sons and daughters of the second generation, belonging to the third generation level.
Nine Gods Monarch was very powerful, but wanting to suppress him through Bloodline Power was absolutely impossible because he was a Monarch, not an Emperor's son or daughter.
But at this point, Yan Wu Shuang also realized just how powerful the Bloodline Power his master had bestowed upon him back then was. Even when facing the most powerful Nine Gods Monarch, he didn't feel compelled to submit from the depths of his heart. It was only because the gap in cultivation realm was too vast that he couldn't resist.
The more this was the case, the tighter he clenched his fists. He also saw the immense, boundless Monarch dharma manifestation and swore that one day he would achieve this level as well.
Nine Gods Monarch's dharma manifestation stood majestically in the starry sky, overlooking the ages past and present, its majesty boundless. He heard of the various events of the Imperial Clan and learned of all that had happened on the Nine Colors Emperor Star during his slumber and seclusion.
His gaze fell upon the Battle Saint King, filled with boundless coldness.
Back at the fiftieth checkpoint, this Battle Saint King had snatched away a segment of the Emperor's body right under everyone's noses. Even under the pursuit of the various Monarchs, they had failed to successfully hunt him down. On the contrary, they had allowed this junior to escape alive right under the eyes of the Heavenly Gate. It had been a great humiliation back then.
He hadn't expected that after all that time had passed, under the No Monarch Decree, while he was in a state of slumber and seclusion to prepare to awaken all his Dao powers, this junior Battle Saint King would dare to intrude alone into the Jiuyan Imperial Clan and cause so many earth-shattering events, nearly bringing shame upon the prestigious Jiuyan Imperial Clan.
If not for the Imperial Clan Great Power's summons, he wouldn't have known about these events.
Upon appearing, he immediately sealed the space and time of this region of starry sky. Unless an Ancient Monarch arrived, no one could break open this region of starry sky he had immobilized.
"What a fine Battle Saint King. I never expected you to accomplish so many great deeds right under my eyes, daring to offend. Truly beyond my expectations." Nine Gods Monarch seemed to be praising Ye Chen, but anyone could hear the boundless killing intent in his words.
"But since you've come today, stay here permanently."
With a single thought from Nine Gods Monarch, the nine heavens shook instantly. Then, a terrifying divine light descended from the sky, slashing towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's expression changed. This strike could absolutely slay a super Great Power.
This was an Ancient Monarch. The ninth-layer peak Great Powers like the Everlasting Sword God and Mystic Dao Elder were terrifying enough, but compared to such a hegemon of the universe, they were utterly incomparable. With a single thought, they could slay a ninth-layer Great Power.
Boom—
Mystic Dao Elder took action, wielding the pitch-black divine bell to block the destructive light.
Nine Gods Monarch snorted coldly: "Mystic Dao, I know you. But do you also wish to obstruct me, to oppose me?"
Mystic Dao Elder wore a serious expression: "Nine Gods Monarch, I do not wish to be your enemy. But under the No Monarch Decree, will you still take action?"
