The other Sovereigns could tell the state of the Sun Sovereign and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, facing an invincible Ancient Monarch from the past, even they, as fellow Sovereigns, would feel immense pressure.
"You're right. Although I'm not at my peak, dealing with you is hardly a challenge."
Boom—
The Sun Sovereign made his move.
Not long ago, he had appeared quite ordinary, the kind of common face you could find anywhere in a crowd. However, now that the sun had revived, his radiance was boundless, and his entire person underwent a tremendous transformation. His black hair shimmered with immeasurable brilliance, his body emanated divine light, resembling the Sun God but far more powerful by countless times.
With a mighty shout, he took the initiative to charge at the Dark Sun Monarch. His entire being transformed into an infinite sun, continuously blooming with billions of zhang of sunlight that illuminated all heavens, completely dispelling all darkness wherever it passed.
The current Sun Sovereign sought to seize sovereignty over this starry sky and become its master.
His Monarch's heavenly might permeated this vast starry sky, transforming him into the sole deity.
"Sun Sovereign, you must die today!"
The Dark Sun Monarch roared. During the Mythical Era, the Sun Sovereign had waged war, slaying countless powerful experts of the alien race, even causing the fall of several universe overlords at the Ancient Monarch level.
Now resurrected, if he were to recover to his peak, he would pose a great threat to the alien race. He had to die.
The Dark Sun Monarch activated his supreme and unparalleled Monarch Laws. His Monarch divine sense shook the starry sky, directly summoning the stars of all heavens, each containing absolutely terrifying Emperor Power and Immortal Power.
The Dark Sun Monarch's Monarch Dao directly refined these myriad stars filling the sky. Furthermore, runes at the Monarch realm shot into the heavens, merging into these refined stars, blooming with boundless dark light. Each star possessed supreme demonic might capable of threatening the lives of Divine Kings.
In an instant, the refined extraterrestrial stars of all heavens were permeated with demonic light. Pulled by the Dark Sun Monarch, they launched a full-scale bombardment against the Sun Sovereign.
Although summoning stars for attack was a common tactic used by many powerful experts, the extraterrestrial stars beyond the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain were far more terrifying. Moreover, empowered by the Dark Sun Monarch's Ancient Monarch characters, their power was simply incomparable.
The attack of dozens to hundreds of stars could absolutely threaten an Ancient Monarch.
This was an immeasurably fearsome attack.
"This is bad! The alien race's Dark Sun Monarch is about to use a killing move, sparing no effort to exterminate the Sun Sovereign."
On the human side, the many experts all changed expressions. However, this was a duel, a situation the Sovereigns of all heavens had fought hard to secure, not to be disrupted.
"Bullying me because my Dao injuries haven't healed?"
The Sun Sovereign's expression remained unchanged as he calmly spoke these words, yet they rang with a powerful, metallic force.
Even if not at his peak, he was still a generation's Ancient Monarch. His body bloomed with immeasurable light, the sun boundless and endless, illuminating all heavens.
In an instant, billions of layers of sun essence fire appeared, transforming into a boundless ocean that rolled forth, directly detonating all the incoming stars filling the sky, shattering them into nothingness, unable to approach him.
Boom—
The Sun Sovereign began to activate his Monarch Laws, which were also solar power, transforming into infinite great suns that charged through the air.
Accompanied by boundless solar divine flames, all evolved from Monarch Laws, they burned the outer realms until they melted, fiercely battling the Dark Sun Monarch.
The battle between the two Ancient Monarchs, one righteous and one evil, was naturally extremely intense, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
At times, sunlight was infinite; at times, demonic light drowned the starry sky, constantly shifting between darkness and light.
In that extraterrestrial territory, numerous stars exploded one after another, becoming brilliant fireworks.
Finally, accompanied by a shrill roar, the two separated.
The left half of the Dark Sun Monarch's body exploded. The dark demonic sun shattered, his divine rings collapsed, and his divine body was burned. He descended from the sky, quickly caught by other Ancient Monarchs of the alien race who soared up. They activated supreme Monarch Laws to dispel the solar divine flames on his body.
However, his aura had weakened considerably.
The Dark Sun Monarch had been defeated!
The Sun Sovereign descended from the sky. The infinite sunlight all retracted, and he returned to his originally ordinary and common appearance, resembling a regular middle-aged man. However, a few traces of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale. He too had suffered injuries, but compared to the Dark Sun Monarch, he was better off, having won the first round.
"Senior Brother!"
Emperor Wuming and Emperor Wushuang rushed forward, offering supreme elixirs.
The Sun Sovereign had paid a great price to resurrect and was not at his peak. He still bore stubborn Dao injuries that were difficult to heal, and recovery would require expending a significant amount of his origin. However, he could not easily deplete his origin at this time.
"Senior, please take the elixir refined by this junior."
At this moment, Ye Chen actively walked over and took out a medicine bottle containing pills he had refined over the past few days.
The moment the bottle was opened, a fragrant aroma assailed the senses, rich Pill Fragrance billowing forth, attracting countless fiery, envious gazes. It was immediately clear these were extremely precious pills, rare in the world, difficult to find.
"Excellent pills! They're 8th Rank Pills!"
The crowd was shocked, only then remembering that the Battle Saint King was also an alchemy master capable of refining 9th Rank Divine Pills, perhaps even worthy of being called an alchemy grandmaster.
The Sun Sovereign shook his head. "These pills are too precious. 8th Rank Pills are hard to come by. I just need to recover a bit."
However, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Senior, you jest. This junior has some attainment in the Dao of alchemy. Refining 8th Rank Pills is not a difficult task."
Earlier, before the Imperial Son's feast, Ye Chen had continuously engaged in high-intensity pill refining. His true purpose was for this very moment. With the support of pills, he could fight without worrying about the expenditure of his origin, greatly recovering combat power and injuries, and fighting more persistently.
Moreover, the Sun Sovereign had intervened largely because of him. How could he stand by and watch the other exert himself without offering something in return?
Seeing this, the Sun Sovereign did not refuse and nodded. "Good!"
He poured out a pill wreathed in rich Pill Fragrance from the bottle and consumed it. Immediately, his entire body glowed, radiant light dazzling. Instantly, his pale complexion regained some of its rosy hue.
This scene also caused the alien race's expressions to change slightly, their gazes towards Ye Chen growing even more sinister.
The Sovereigns of all heavens also looked at the medicine bottle with a few more degrees of fervor.
8th Rank Treasure Pills were of great use even to Ancient Monarchs.
Ye Chen did not put the medicine bottle away. Instead, he looked at Jian Tian Sovereign and the other two human Sovereigns, actively offering it to them. "Seniors, this junior still has some pills, consider them a meeting gift. Please accept them, though they may be laughable."
Hearing this, Jian Tian Sovereign and the other two human Sovereigns all had shining eyes. Without standing on ceremony, they accepted them, viewing Ye Chen much more favorably.
