Boom—
The entire Myriad Saints City shook violently. Countless buildings collapsed, and countless celestial palaces and divine islands plummeted from the sky, resulting in innumerable casualties.
Half of Myriad Saints City was on the verge of becoming ruins.
During this, the Ancient Monarch's attack was blocked. The Supreme Ancient Tower was sent flying back, and the majestic figure of the Ancient Monarch also flickered and grew illusory.
"It's not a true Ancient Monarch, just a Monarch Projection of his!"
The Five Divine Kings exclaimed loudly, seeing a glimmer of hope.
Although a Monarch Projection was powerful, it was far inferior to the true body.
Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised. Back when he seized the Emperor's Reincarnation Body and was pursued by several Ancient Monarchs, projections had also descended, but they were clearly far weaker than the projection of the Corpse Demon Monarch before him now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight back then.
This Monarch Projection before them was many times more powerful. Was it because of the projection distance?
After all, the previous projections had crossed endless starry skies, while this one was within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
The Zhou Tian Clan Leader was both shocked and furious, for this Corpse Demon Monarch completely disregarded the Zhou Tian Clan, enraging him. Wielding the Zhou Tian Battle Stage, he attacked the Ancient Monarch.
Both sides now wielded Monarch Immortal Weapons, forcefully turning the tables to fight back against the Ancient Monarch.
"Although this is merely a projection of This Monarch, you insignificant Divine Kings have great courage indeed, daring to attack This Monarch. Truly audacious to the extreme."
The Corpse Demon Monarch's voice grew even colder, yet his attacks became even more terrifying. Between his fingers and palms, boundless demonic light gathered before erupting forth, filled with Monarch-level Great Dao laws capable of annihilating everything, clashing with the Zhou Tian Battle Stage and the Supreme Ancient Tower.
Boom—
Without a doubt, this was nearly an invincible battle at the Ancient Monarch level. The entire Myriad Saints City was continuously covered and protected by the clan members of the Zhou Tian Clan activating the array patterns left behind by their ancestral Zhou Tian Ancestral God.
Furthermore, the four city gates were opened, allowing the countless powerful experts within the city to flee. Streaks of light shot across the horizon, speeding like lightning in all directions.
"Myriad Saints City, it is time for it to be erased from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain."
The Corpse Demon Monarch's icy voice echoed between heaven and earth, revealing true killing intent. The boundless heavenly might of a Monarch rolled forth, wantonly submerging the entire Myriad Saints City, aiming to completely shatter the city.
Undoubtedly, this Ancient Monarch of the Alien Emperor Clan truly intended to annihilate the entire Zhou Tian Clan.
"Want to erase my Zhou Tian Clan? Even an Ancient Monarch will have to pay the corresponding price!"
The Zhou Tian Clan Leader's voice turned cold as well. Wielding the Zhou Tian Battle Stage, he fully and greatly revived it, unleashing even more powerful Monarch heavenly might.
On the other side, the Five Divine Kings did the same.
With the endless Divine King power of the five of them reviving, the Supreme Ancient Tower's might was restored to an extreme degree, absolutely capable of easily annihilating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—an unimaginable, immense terror.
Both sides wielded Ancient Monarch Weapons, carrying vast Monarch heavenly might as they bombarded the Monarch Projection.
Boom—
An extremely terrifying explosion shook an area of tens of millions of miles. Three dreadful beams of light shot through the clouds, vanishing into the endless starry sky.
Where they passed, stars shattered one after another, releasing boundless starlight as if the world itself were ending.
A battle of this level was even more intense, countless times fiercer than the battle between several Divine Kings half a day earlier, for it had now escalated to the Monarch level, becoming even more dreadful.
During this, others could offer no help whatsoever, and Ye Chen was no exception.
Although the Emperor's Reincarnation Body was sufficiently powerful, the injuries it had sustained were equally terrifying. Cracks crisscrossed its entire body; the slightest movement could cause it to completely explode. How could it be used lightly?
The only hope now was that the Five Divine Kings, the Zhou Tian Clan Leader, and the others could destroy this Ancient Monarch's projection.
After all, it was just a projection, truly far less powerful than the Ancient Monarch's true body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle continued. The entire Myriad Saints City fully revived, countless array patterns shimmering into view.
The last time this had happened was during the Dark Blood Era. Who could have imagined it would be forced into use again today?
"Stars of the Heavens, heed This Monarch's command—Descend!"
The Corpse Demon Monarch roared, shaking the starry sky.
Stars originally suspended beyond the domain, drawn by the boundless might of the Ancient Monarch, descended from the heavens one by one, transforming into terrifying, burning meteors, forming a brilliant meteor shower.
Yet they contained extreme, terrifying destructive power. Even a Divine King struck would be instantly reduced to ashes.
For these stars contained a trace of Emperor Power and Immortal Power, far beyond comparison with stars from the outer universe, and were much more dreadful. Summoned in full by the Ancient Monarch, they were all hurled toward Myriad Saints City.
"Disaster!"
Countless people within Myriad Saints City paled. If this meteor shower truly struck, even the city's defenses would likely be pierced, with unimaginable consequences.
"We must act, we must stop this!"
The Five Divine Kings and the Zhou Tian Clan Leader naturally would not stand by and watch this happen. Swinging the Supreme Ancient Tower and the Zhou Tian Battle Stage, they directly struck at the sky.
Two brilliant beams of light, like two true dragons, shook the heavens before crushing forward, forcibly shattering and annihilating the flaming meteors one by one, causing them to explode in the firmament.
"Die!"
Yet at this moment, the Ancient Monarch's projection struck. Boundless Monarch laws blasted forth, submerging the sky, shattering the ten directions of the firmament, and killing toward the six Divine King powerhouses.
"Not good!"
"Disaster!"
"For an Ancient Monarch to act so despicably!"
The six Divine Kings were enraged, hurriedly wielding the two Monarch Immortal Weapons to block.
With a tremendous boom, Myriad Saints City trembled violently. Much of the city's structure cracked. Even with the Monarch grand array covering it, many people were caught in the aftershocks and instantly turned to ash.
This was simply a calamity of immense proportions.
"Despicable!"
The six Divine Kings were all forced back, coughing blood from their mouths. They never expected this Ancient Monarch of the Alien Emperor Clan to attack in such a manner. It was truly somewhat despicable, unbecoming of his status as a universe overlord.
"In the world of cultivation, what talk is there of despicable or not? Achieving one's goal is the true path!"
The Ancient Monarch of the Alien Emperor Clan responded coldly, feeling no shame whatsoever.
"Indeed, this is the shameless Alien Emperor Clan. Their despicable nature never changes." From the distant sky, Ye Chen sneered.
Since ancient times, hadn't the alien races always been like this? Like the Battle Saint Ancestor, like the Formless Monarch, both had suffered shameless encirclement and killing by peers of the alien races.
This move by the Corpse Demon Monarch was precisely the habitual baseness of the alien species.
"A mere Great Power dares to speak? Die!"
Boom—
A brilliant expanse of Monarch laws shot forth, blasting toward Ye Chen.
But the Five Divine Kings intervened, intercepting it.
"Attack with full force, destroy this projection! He cannot remain in this world for long!"
The Five Divine Kings shouted. The Zhou Tian Clan Leader also nodded. Coordinating together, they attacked with all their might.
The two Monarch Immortal Weapons erupted with unprecedented Supreme might, transforming into immortal divine light that shot into the sky. Then, with overwhelming force, they continuously bombarded the Monarch Projection.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle was incomparably fierce, shaking all directions.
However, just as they said, the Monarch Projection could not exist for too long. It soon exhausted all its vital energy, continuously growing fainter.
The Corpse Demon Monarch watched all this coldly, his expression icy.
He never imagined that his personal projection descending today would return empty-handed. If word spread, it would be a provocation to his dignity, utterly intolerable.
"Enough, enough. Being able to destroy This Monarch's projection can be considered a capability of yours."
The Corpse Demon Monarch responded indifferently. "In response to your capability, witness This Monarch's final strike—"
"World-Destroying Demonic Light!"
