Boom—
The heavens suddenly turned pitch black. Endless dark clouds gathered densely, with countless thick thunder dragons crisscrossing and galloping, roaring as they went.
Roar— Howl—
Ah— Roar—
...
It was as if hundreds of millions of gods and demons were howling, a million Heavenly Gods were roaring, and countless terrifying demonic shadows manifested, raising their heads to the sky and shrieking, tearing apart the firmament.
Then, the dark clouds dissipated. Beyond the domain, a dark storm swept through, accompanied by endless divine and demonic corpses falling from the sky.
Stars exploded, mountains of corpses and seas of blood of billions of living beings appeared, gods and demons manifested, and so on. One terrifying Phenomenon after another manifested in the heavens and earth.
Within the Ten Heaven Realms Ancient Domain, at least several Heaven Realms Ancient Domains near the Eighth Heaven Realm Ancient Domain could see the Phenomenon in the sky, witnessing the divine and demonic corpses falling like rain, seeing the roaring demonic shadows. All the myriad races of living beings were shocked, not understanding what was happening.
The common people were even more so, kneeling on the ground one after another, praying to the heavens not to bring about the end of the world.
The one hundred and eight Imperial Clans, the Immortal Clans, and the three thousand King Clans were all startled, each raising their heads to look at the heavens. Even the reclusive Ancient Monarchs were disturbed.
"Divine demons descend, mountains of corpses arrive, seas of blood appear, the Phenomenon of all heavens... this is the Phenomenon that appears when a peerless figure falls. Could it be that an Ancient Monarch has fallen?"
Someone gazed up at the terrifying Phenomenon of all heavens and murmured to themselves. This was because once a world-shaking figure perished, earth-shattering Phenomenon would appear, shaking the heavens and earth.
Ancient Monarchs, having attained the Dao favored by the heavens and received heavenly grace, were precisely such peerless figures.
Therefore, once a Monarch falls, such a scene is produced.
All the myriad races of all heavens looked towards the Ascension Ancient Capital from afar. It was there that a world-shaking event had occurred.
Within the Ascension Ancient Capital, the hearts of the people trembled, for this was the Phenomenon of an Imperial Son's fall.
Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants—they were the offspring of Emperors or Supreme Immortals, inheriting Supreme bloodlines. Once they fall, it is no less significant than an Ancient Monarch falling, and terrifying Phenomenon of heaven and earth will appear.
It also represented that the Dark Heaven Imperial Son had truly fallen, with no chance of survival.
The Dark Heaven Imperial Son was dead, forcefully slain by the Battle Saint King.
This was not as simple as merely being suppressed; it was complete annihilation, body perished and Dao extinguished, no longer existing.
A generation's invincible Imperial Son, who should have commanded all heavens and dominated the rise and fall of the world, had ultimately been slain in the ruthless struggle for supremacy. The Emperor Treasure bestowed by his father was not omnipotent; the Battle Saint King had still found that faint, elusive sliver of opportunity and completely exterminated him.
The world witnessed it, looking at the heroic, blood-soaked figure of the Battle Saint King emerging, all filled with awe. The younger generation especially looked on with fiery worship.
The Saint King was peerless!
Even an Imperial Son must fall by his hand!
Without a doubt, the fall of the Dark Heaven Imperial Son became a stepping stone for Ye Chen, the flesh and bone on his path to becoming an Emperor, setting him off to appear even more brilliant, capable of illuminating all heavens.
In this vast world, who among the younger generation could be his match?
It was undeniable that among Great Powers, he was already invincible. His gaze could only look upward, towards those Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants who had achieved the Divine King realm.
Although those Divine King-level Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants were powerful, standing in the Divine King realm, they were ultimately still the strongest young generation's supreme ones, not having transcended. They had merely appeared earlier, perhaps relying on some heaven-defying Immortal fate to establish themselves in the Divine King realm sooner than others of their generation.
If Ye Chen were to step into the Divine King realm in the future, perhaps today's scene would be repeated.
He was the true, absolute invincible within the same realm!
The fall of the Dark Heaven Imperial Son was so soul-stirring, for both the alien race and the humans alike. This was because since the beginning of the golden age in the Ten Heaven Realms Ancient Domain, no Imperial Son or Daughter, Immortal Dao Descendant had ever fallen. Even being defeated or suppressed had only begun to happen after the appearance of the Battle Saint King.
But today, it had all happened at once. The fall of an Imperial Son was a fatal blow to the alien race side.
With the emergence of another Chaos young generation's supreme one capable of slaying Imperial Sons, the other Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants on the alien race side felt their lives threatened.
"Dark Heaven is dead!"
The Abandoned Heaven Imperial Son spoke, yet his voice carried a hint of trembling. The Dark Heaven Imperial Son, a fellow Imperial Son, had fallen. Being on the same side, there was a sense of shared sorrow, but more than that, a trace of fear surfaced.
Because the appearance of the Battle Saint King proved that Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants were no longer invincible among their generation, no longer peerless and unmatched. They could also be defeated, suppressed, and slain, no longer immortal and undying.
However, the other Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants on the alien race side looked at Ye Chen with gloomy expressions and said, "The Dark Heaven Imperial Son is dead. Congratulations to you, and congratulations to the Battle Saint King. But the consequences you must bear are completely different."
High above in the heavens, after clashing once with Yu Qing, Divine King Di Wentian spoke coldly, "Daring to slay an Imperial Son of our universe's realm? Humans, await the wrath of the various Imperial Clans of our Ancient Universe."
On Yu Qing's peerlessly beautiful face, a trace of solemnity also appeared as she looked downward.
Along with the fall of the Dark Heaven Imperial Son, the entire Ascension Ancient Capital felt a terrifying sense of an impending storm.
An indescribable sense of oppression was manifesting, surpassing even the previous standoff of Divine Kings from all heavens.
The heavens were about to change!
Within the Ascension Ancient Capital, the Divine King of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan and the other clansmen had long since soared into the sky. Looking at the Battle Saint King, their eyes were completely bloodshot. With a roar, they wanted to charge over, but they were blocked by the human Divine Kings.
The Dark Heaven Imperial Clan Divine King roared, shaking the entire Ascension Ancient Capital: "Humans! You dare kill the young ancestor, the Imperial Son of my Dark Heaven Imperial Clan? Pay the price of annihilation!"
Boom—
From his body, a dark divine light shot up into the heavens.
Boom—
In the very next moment, a terrifying, indescribable peerless divine might slowly descended.
The fearsomeness of this divine might far surpassed that of a Divine King by an unknown degree. The moment it appeared, even the Divine Kings of all heavens felt a sense of trembling, their hearts all quaking.
High above in the heavens, at some unknown time, it had turned into a pitch-black expanse, enveloping the entire sky. It was as if night had fallen, yet not a single star shone; there was only pure black light and a vast, boundless heavenly might.
Monarch!
An Ancient Monarch had descended!
A dark great sun manifested, incomparably huge, radiating peerless heavenly might.
That was the heavenly might of a Monarch. Boundless heavenly might enveloped everything, causing countless people within the entire Ascension Ancient Capital to tremble, including Divine Kings whose hearts also pounded with fear.
All the Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, strongest young generation's supreme ones, and Supreme Talents instantly changed expressions, each looking at the highest point of the heavens in shock.
"This is bad! The Monarch of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan has descended!"
"The Dark Heaven Imperial Clan is truly enraged!"
"An Ancient Monarch descends. Does he truly intend to bring about the end of the world?"
Within the Ascension Ancient Capital, countless people trembled uncontrollably. The many Divine Kings on the human side also changed their expressions upon seeing this scene.
That was a peerless, matchless Ancient Monarch. Facing a Monarch, Divine Kings were far from being a match.
