The Mythical Emperor Domain was vast and boundless.
The Ten Great Empires were the true masters of this core, immense territory. Each empire ruled over billions of miles of expansive domain, having existed for countless ages, possessing astonishingly profound foundational power.
The Ancient Monarchs were the most powerful foundation. Each of the Ten Great Empires possessed an Ancient Monarch, whose existence spanned unknown tens of thousands of years. Many Great Powers of the Mythical Emperor Domain had known of the Ancient Monarchs' existence since they began their cultivation.
In fact, many Great Powers, by the time they passed away, still had never heard of any of the Ten Great Empires' Ancient Monarchs truly perishing. Their lifespans were far longer than imagined, making them true, peerless old antiques.
It was rumored that each empire was an ancient kingdom founded by an Ancient Monarch. They were the true progenitor existences, having lived for endless ages.
Usually, these Mythical Emperor Domain overlord-level Ancient Monarchs rarely manifested in the mortal world. Many Great Powers, in their entire lifetimes, only witnessed a Monarch manifesting in the mortal world a handful of times.
But on this day, it wasn't just the Ancient Monarch of a single empire manifesting. Instead, all ten Ancient Monarchs of the Ten Great Empires manifested in the mortal world together, shocking the entire world.
Ten majestic, boundless Monarch Dharma Forms stood between heaven and earth. Each was indescribably tall, piercing into the highest reaches of the heavens, reaching straight into the outer realms. They were surrounded by the stars of all heavens, their heavenly might boundless, as if the entire Mythical Emperor Domain could witness the manifestation of the Ten Great Ancient Monarchs.
"The sinful beings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain have descended upon our Mythical Emperor Domain again. The Ten Supreme Monarchs have manifested in the mortal world to completely exterminate these sinful beings."
Within the Mythical Emperor Domain, billions of living beings were astounded. Even the lofty, supreme Monarchs were actually taking personal action, manifesting across the heavens.
But they understood. Because last time, it was also due to these sinful beings descending from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain that caused over half of the Mythical Emperor Domain's vast territory to disappear, with eight empires being destroyed.
Now that they had descended again, to prevent the catastrophic disaster of that year from recurring, even the Ancient Monarchs who normally remained in seclusion had no choice but to personally step forward.
The great world trembled!
The progenitor Ancient Monarchs of the Ten Great Empires manifested across the heavens, jointly employing their powerful Monarch Heavenly Sense precisely to seek out the sinful beings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
The people of the Mythical Emperor Domain could imagine it: ten world-shaking divine sense forces spread out, each quickly covering the entire territory of an empire.
With the Ten Great Ancient Monarchs acting together, they covered over seventy percent of the Mythical Emperor Domain's vast territory.
After all, besides the Ten Great Empires, the Mythical Emperor Domain also contained areas ruled by other kingdoms and sects. Moreover, like the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, the Mythical Emperor Domain had Emperor Dao suppression. Therefore, even Ancient Monarchs could not cover all heavens with a single thought.
Boom—
Indeed, with the Ten Great Ancient Monarchs taking action, the effect was astonishingly fast.
Across the over seventy percent of the Mythical Emperor Domain's territory that was covered, even though many Heaven's Pride Prodigies from imperial clans, immortal clans, and royal clans had intentionally hidden themselves due to the bounty, still over half had not hidden themselves deeply enough. This included many Divine King realm supreme experts who were directly swept by the Monarch Heavenly Sense, their traces discovered.
"How audacious! Sinful beings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain dare to descend upon the territory of my Xialuo Empire!"
The Ancient Monarch of the Xialuo Empire, one of the Ten Great Empires, discovered a Divine King from an imperial clan of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain located at the edge of his empire's territory under the coverage of his Monarch Heavenly Sense.
He belonged to the Dongtian Imperial Dynasty, accompanied by the dynasty's Imperial Son and a group of imperial clan Heaven's Pride Prodigies. They were hiding in the border mountains of the Xialuo Empire, never expecting the empire's Monarch to manifest in the mortal world, going so far as to use Monarch Heavenly Sense to search for traces of beings like them from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Boom—
The Xialuo Empire's Ancient Monarch directly projected over. A majestic, boundless phantom stood within this mountain range. Mountains and rivers crumbled, the earth split open, and the myriad Daos were forced to retreat.
The Supreme Monarch, without another word, raised a hand capable of plucking stars. His great hand transformed into an ancient bronze furnace that could refine all heavens, suppressing downwards. Boundless Great Dao runes interwove and appeared, directly annihilating this stretch of heaven and earth.
"Monarch Projection!"
Everyone from the Dongtian Imperial Dynasty changed color. Even the Imperial Son felt a slight tremor in his heart. The other accompanying Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Dongtian Imperial Dynasty behind him were all terrified to the extreme, sensing the approach of death.
"Imperial Son, Young Ancestor, you must leave!"
The Dongtian Imperial Dynasty Divine King roared, tearing through the void without another word. He pushed the Imperial Son of his clan and all the nearby Heaven's Pride Prodigies directly into the spatial rift. At the same time, he summoned his own Divine King Dao Weapon, used in his cultivation, fully reviving it to jointly resist the ancient bronze furnace.
Hum—
Not long after, infinite bloody light shot into the sky, submerging this stretch of heaven and earth.
The Monarch Projection vanished. A generation's Divine King of the Dongtian Imperial Dynasty had fallen!
This scene similarly occurred in other places where Divine Kings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain were discovered. All Ten Great Ancient Monarchs took action. Even if it was just a projection, it was far beyond what a Divine King could resist.
Was it not seen that whether at the borderlands of the Moji Empire or the Senyue Empire, at least over ten Divine Kings attempted to resist?
Within the Senyue Empire, Ye Chen and the others' traces were also discovered by that empire's Ancient Monarch. An immensely majestic Monarch Projection instantly manifested before them. Vast, immortal heavenly might billowed down, looking down upon Ye Chen and the other Divine Kings and Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Bright Emperor Domain from a lofty position.
Boom—
Monarch Senyue looked at them coldly. With a raise of his hand, a hundred-thousand-mile-tall immortal divine peak appeared, suppressing downwards, containing Monarch power.
From the Bright Emperor Domain's side, five Divine Kings shot into the sky. Yu Qing also charged up, preparing to act together to resist.
But Ye Chen took the lead, stepping forward. "I'll handle it."
Everyone was shocked and doubtful. The five Divine Kings urgently spoke: "Battle Saint King, come back quickly! He is not someone you can resist."
"It's fine. I can still handle a Monarch Projection," Ye Chen replied calmly.
The others were about to speak again, but at this moment, Yu Qing stepped forward to stop them. "It's fine. Believe him. He wouldn't speak lightly."
Boom—
From Ye Chen's body, infinite Solar Saint Light erupted. He was executing the Solar Scripture, incredibly dazzling. For a moment, all the Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Bright Emperor Domain behind him couldn't help but turn their heads away.
Even the five Divine Kings couldn't help but squint their eyes momentarily.
Naturally, this was Ye Chen's deliberate action, to conceal his true secret from others.
Within the infinite Solar Saint Light, Ye Chen's Great Emperor Reincarnation Body awakened. Although his entire body was covered in countless large and small cracks, at this moment, he swung a seemingly tender fist, directly meeting that immortal divine peak.
Boom—
The immortal divine peak directly shattered into pieces, disintegrating.
Monarch Senyue also witnessed this scene, a look of shock appearing on his face. But at this moment, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body acted again. Emperor Dao mighty power was contained within his fingers and palm, directly slapping the Monarch Projection's body.
Boom—
Heaven collapsed and earth split. This stretch of heaven and earth fell into great destruction as the Monarch Projection crumbled.
