A terrifying war swiftly spread across the entire Ten Heavens Realm, igniting the fuse that had long been buried beneath the calm.
A great war between two races, involving over twenty imperial clans, was unprecedented. Only cosmic-level conflicts like the Mythical Great Destruction War or the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe's invasion of the Primordial Immortal Realm could compare. Yet now, it had erupted in the Ten Heavens Realm.
The Ten Heavens Realm was shaken to its core. Countless imperial clans and immortal clans were alarmed, and the Ancient Monarchs of the myriad heavens were no exception. They never expected the alien race to launch such a lightning-fast assault on the human race on the very day the Mythological Relic opened.
Involving over twenty overlord imperial clans and two supreme races, once the war erupted, its impact swept through the entire Ten Heavens Realm.
Ye Chen and the others, having entered the Ancient Desolate Abyss, were unaware of all this.
After traversing a long stretch of darkness, the numerous Heaven's Pride Prodigies suddenly found themselves in a vast world.
The so-called Mythological Relic land did not match the imagined lifelessness. On the contrary, there were boundless, lush primeval forests and vast, endless oceans. Everything was no different from an ordinary great world, making one doubt whether this was truly the Mythological Relic land.
Based on what was known, the Mythological Relic land was an emperor-level battlefield where numerous emperors had fought. Such a place where ancient Great Emperors waged war should have been barren, yet now it was brimming with endless vitality.
Looking back, the Ancient Desolate Abyss had long since vanished, hidden at the highest point of the firmament. Evidently, to leave, one likely only needed to soar to that highest point.
Countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies descended upon this place, each standing in opposition to one another.
This was especially true for the many Imperial Sons and Daughters, immortal descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes at the highest level. They stood facing each other with mutual wariness, each being the greatest rival in this struggle for the various emperors' legacies and heaven-defying immortal treasures.
Naturally, upon entering the Mythical Ruins Land, the enmity between the human race and the alien race was instantly magnified.
There were no Ancient Monarchs from either side to restrain them here; everything seemed to have entered a stage of survival of the fittest.
The human race had nine imperial clans, ten Imperial Sons and Daughters, plus Ye Chen, Yu Qing, A Beinu, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Yuan Yang Divine King, Zhao Chen, and the Human Imperial Son—a total of seventeen individuals. Their lineup could be called peerless for an era.
The alien race was naturally not inferior, with fifteen imperial clans. Unfortunately, the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan had been slain, leaving only fourteen. However, Hua Chengdao, the son of the Sun-Shooting Immortal Venerable, the Life Imperial Son, and several other familiar Imperial Sons and Daughters from imperial and immortal clans also stood on their side.
More importantly, whether it was Di Wentian or Mo Shitian, both were Divine King-level Imperial Sons with extraordinary combat power.
On this side, only Yu Qing was of that level.
Even more crucially, at this moment, the alien race's Imperial Sons and Daughters erupted with radiance. From behind them, one supremely powerful figure after another stepped forth, emanating terrifying pressure.
Divine Kings!
Countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies watched with shock and awe. Divine Kings had actually appeared, and they were all older-generation Divine King figures.
But wasn't the Ancient Desolate Abyss supposed to prevent those over five thousand years old from entering? Otherwise, they would be annihilated by the Abyss's Emperor Laws.
Many observant individuals knew that while the Ancient Desolate Abyss could indeed block Divine King realm supreme experts, these Imperial Sons and Daughters possessed emperor treasures bestowed by their emperors, allowing them to deceive heaven and earth and bring Divine Kings into the Mythological Relic.
Undoubtedly, in a Mythological Relic where only the younger generation should appear, with only a handful of Imperial Sons and Daughters being Divine Kings, having a Divine King realm supreme expert by one's side was undoubtedly the greatest asset, providing immense foundational strength.
This was precisely the case for the alien race's Imperial Sons and Daughters. With numerous Divine Kings appearing directly, their overall power was invisibly elevated.
In contrast, looking over, the human race seemed weaker.
The human race was at a disadvantage. Not only did the alien side have numerous Imperial Sons and Daughters, but more importantly, they had also used some unknown methods to bring many Divine King realm supreme experts. Each Divine King radiated a terrifying pressure as deep as an abyss and as towering as a mountain.
"Attack! Eliminate these human Imperial Sons and Daughters, these Strongest Young Supremes, and realize the extermination plan!"
"Yes!"
From behind, the Divine Kings of the various imperial clans spoke, especially three who were actually Divine King figures from the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan. All of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan's Divine King experts had descended at once, filled with boundless hatred for Ye Chen.
"Battle Saint King, today there are no human Ancient Monarchs here. All of you humans will die!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, all the alien race's Divine Kings charged forward, unleashing boundless Divine King might.
The human race was in peril.
Yet, to everyone's astonishment, all the human Imperial Sons and Daughters and Strongest Young Supremes seemed to have anticipated this long ago. Their expressions unchanged, divine light erupted from their bodies. Especially from Ye Chen, five beams of divine light shot forth. Combined, over a dozen Divine King experts appeared, instantly blocking the path and intercepting the many alien Divine Kings.
Ye Chen spoke coldly, "If even you foolish aliens knew how to bring them in, how could we humans not have thought of it?"
Indeed, he had stored his five Divine Kings within the sole remaining layer of the Reincarnation Coffin and brought them in.
The Reincarnation Coffin was the coffin of the Formless Monarch and could naturally resist Emperor Laws.
Naturally, the other human Imperial Sons and Daughters also had methods to conceal their respective imperial clan's Divine Kings and enter the Mythical Ruins Land.
Countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies felt despair. From the very beginning, these Imperial Sons and Daughters, immortal descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes possessed absolute advantages and had Divine Kings following them. The gap between them and these prodigies had never narrowed; on the contrary, it had only grown wider.
"Humans!"
The many alien imperial clan Divine Kings watched this scene coldly, never expecting their efforts to fall short at the last moment. The humans had also brought numerous Divine Kings inside.
"Esteemed Divine King seniors, please hold back the alien Divine Kings," Ye Chen said.
"No problem!"
Divine Kings like the Heaven-Piercing Divine King, the Azure Phoenix Divine King, and the Horizon Divine King agreed, their gazes fixed intently on the many alien imperial clan Divine Kings. Then, Ye Chen's eyes turned cold as he looked toward the Imperial Sons and Daughters, saying icily, "I said that without the protection of Ancient Monarchs, daring to attack my human race is a foolish act. Very well, since your alien race is so impatient, I will slay a few more Imperial Sons and Daughters today to properly intimidate you all."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, an earth-shattering, terrifying aura exploding from his body.
The power of this aura was immense, sweeping through this stretch of the cosmos. Even amidst the blooming Divine King pressures of the myriad heavens, it could not be suppressed.
