Although Sword Heaven Monarch was an Ancient Monarch, he lacked much of the supreme dignity befitting a monarch. He spoke casually, "Dark Sun, why must you be so furious? It's just the death of an Imperial Son. Let his father have another one."
The people of the world were dumbfounded. Was this the lofty Ancient Monarch they knew? To speak so disparagingly of an Imperial Son, and even tell the Great Emperor of the Dark Heaven Emperor Clan to just have another one—did he truly think Emperor Sons and Daughters could be produced at will? If that were the case, they wouldn't be hailed as Heaven's Offspring. Each Emperor or supreme immortal only had one or two, and their fall was always accompanied by astonishing celestial phenomena.
However, everyone knew Sword Heaven Monarch was clearly adding insult to injury. Over the years, the alien races had been suppressing the human race. Now that he had finally found an opportunity, Sword Heaven Monarch naturally wouldn't let it pass.
Many people almost burst into tears. *Brother, even if you're kicking someone when they're down, you should at least consider the occasion. Can't you see Dark Sun Monarch is a powder keg ready to explode at any moment?*
"Sword Heaven old ghost, this monarch will kill you!" Dark Sun Monarch roared with rage and charged at Sword Heaven Monarch.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Who's afraid of whom?"
Sword Heaven Monarch was unafraid. Devoid of monarchial dignity, he directly taunted his opponent. The three-foot azure blade before him was his peerless divine sword, radiating sharpness.
"Both of you, please cease!"
Hua Xu Monarch from Ascension Ancient Capital spoke up, attempting to stop the battle between the two hostile Ancient Monarchs. He stepped forward, unleashing a wave of monarchial heavenly might.
However, Dark Sun Monarch had long been on the verge of complete eruption and was difficult to stop.
Sword Heaven Monarch chuckled coldly, brandishing his three-foot azure blade to unleash slash after slash of fierce sword radiance. Each beam stretched for untold tens of thousands of miles, capable of piercing into the outer starry void and severing numerous stars.
The collision of two Ancient Monarchs would be an absolutely catastrophic disaster for ordinary people.
"I implore both of you to stop!"
Hua Xu Monarch urged, unable to let this continue. A battle between monarchs would have far too great an impact, capable of sinking vast lands in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
At the same time, terrifyingly boundless auras of Ancient Monarch heavenly might surged forth one after another throughout the world, rising majestically.
Ancient Monarchs of the alien races appeared successively, terrifyingly powerful, seemingly intent on crushing everything as their pressure descended.
Including the first to descend, Dark Sun Monarch, a full five Ancient Monarchs had arrived. Combined with the alien Emperor Clan behind Di Wentian, five Ancient Monarchs had emerged from the twelve great alien Emperor Clans.
However, four Ancient Monarchs had also clearly descended on the human side, equally divine and mighty, opposing the alien races.
They were merely one short in number. Yet, the human Ancient Monarchs each took out Supreme Emperor's Weapons, their expressions icy and cold as they faced off.
If war broke out, they would spare no effort to protect these Emperor Sons and Daughters and the strongest young Supreme Ones, for they were the hope of the future, the future guardians of the Sealed Universe. How could they be allowed to come to harm?
The entire Ascension Ancient Capital was filled with an unparalleled sense of oppression. A storm was brewing, terrifying and boundless.
"Let the battle begin!"
The alien race's Dark Sun Monarch was ready for war at the slightest disagreement. His clan's Imperial Son had already fallen. How could they face their Great Emperor with peace? The most terrifying racial war was about to unfold.
Countless people in Ascension Ancient Capital paled. Once such a racial war erupted, involving Divine Kings, involving Ancient Monarchs, involving Supreme Emperor's Weapons, it was unknown whether the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain could be preserved. It would absolutely plunge into a merciless storm of bloodshed.
Billions of living beings would be slaughtered, plunging the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain into another Dark Blood Era. With so many Ancient Monarchs and Emperor Clans going to war, the consequences might even be far more terrifying than the Dark Blood Era.
During the Dark Blood Era, although Ancient Monarchs fought, there had never been so many—nearly ten—engaging in battle simultaneously. Throughout history, the total number born in the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain could be counted on one hand. Yet now, so many had appeared at once. If war broke out, even the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, heavily suppressed by the Emperor's Dao, would fall into absolute destruction.
Yet the four human Ancient Monarchs were also unafraid. Matters had reached this point. Should they not fight, but instead humbly submit?
The human race could not live in such lowliness. Even in a glorious, earth-shattering battle, they would deal the alien races a devastating blow, making them pay an unbearable absolute price.
"Come then. If you want to fight, then fight. Who truly fears it?"
On the human side, Tai Xu Monarch spoke. He was a warmongering fanatic. Furthermore, during the Mythical Epoch, the ancient Great Emperor of the Ye Clan had gone missing precisely because of the alien races. Naturally, he would not let matters rest.
The storm was brewing. The surface rules of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain were about to be broken. Monarchs were about to take action, Emperor Clans were about to go to war, and Supreme Emperor's Weapons were preparing for conquest. The entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain would then also plunge into an absolute era of blood.
The alien monarchs emerged together. Even though the humans had fewer Ancient Monarchs, they displayed a forceful attitude, ready to cross swords.
"Esteemed ones, please cease!"
At this moment, some reclusive Ancient Monarchs who had been observing from the shadows emerged, hailing from their respective Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans.
In such a monarchial group battle, other Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans would likely be dragged in, unable to escape unscathed.
"There is nothing to discuss. Today, the human race shall be exterminated!"
The alien side was extremely forceful. Moreover, at this time, experts from several other Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans actually appeared, showing their stance by siding with the alien races against the humans.
This made the human powerhouses' hearts sink. Over the years, the alien races had been forceful, suppressing the humans, and had also befriended quite a few Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans, leading to the current scene.
The human situation was truly quite severe.
"Do you truly think our human race is weak and easy to bully? Whoever wants to act had best be prepared to pay the price of clan extermination." Tai Xu Monarch of the Ye Clan also forcefully responded, uniting with the other human Ancient Monarchs to adopt a posture of fighting to the end at all costs.
This also caused the other Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans involved to change expressions drastically. If they truly forced the humans into a desperate fight, they would absolutely be unable to escape unscathed and might even pay an extremely heavy price.
The more this happened, the more it made the myriad races of the heavens change countenance.
No matter how suppressed by the alien races the always-weak human race had been, for the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, they were still a behemoth. They still possessed fearsome Emperor Clans, Ancient Monarchs, and Supreme Emperor's Weapons. If war broke out, it would be a fight between gods and immortals, with mortals suffering the consequences.
Dark Sun Monarch coldly raged, "Clan extermination? Let the human race be utterly annihilated."
The fall of the Dark Heaven Imperial Son was absolutely unforgivable by the Dark Heaven Emperor Clan, especially the chief culprit, the Battle Saint King. He must die.
However, the four human Ancient Monarchs remained as deep as abysses and as towering as mountains, standing guard before them, protecting the many Emperor Sons and Daughters and strongest young Supreme Ones of the human race.
How could the other Ancient Monarchs stand by and watch as so many monarchs from both sides went to war, especially with Supreme Emperor's Weapons involved? Immediately, the monarchs of the myriad heavens joined together to intervene, urging both sides to stop this most terrifying monarchial battle.
At the same time, the news spread at an astonishing speed, sweeping across the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain overnight and startling the world.
That very night, the moment many Ancient Monarchs learned of it, they did not hesitate to emerge from seclusion, rushing over one after another, all with the goal of preventing this impending chaotic era war.
