Shock! Astonishment!
Utter shock! Unbelievable astonishment!
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, as if something beyond comprehension was happening. Even the human powerhouses widened their eyes one by one: "Wushi... Patriarch?"
Countless gazes instantly fell upon Ye Chen. This scene was so shocking it was hard to overstate.
Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor also widened his eyes, muttering foolishly: "Pat... Patriarch? This big guy is Little Moon's patriarch?"
All of this was simply too shocking, leaving many unable to react immediately, just standing there in a daze.
"Good, good. This is your true form. Truly worthy of being the Chaos Saint Body that surpasses the Battle Sacred Body," Wushi Monarch laughed heartily. With just a brief gaze at Ye Chen's true self, he could perceive many things, sensing that extremely familiar Saint Body origin. It was the same as the Battle Sacred Body, yet appeared even more magnificent and special, containing the myriad chaotic essence of the primordial beginning. There was no doubt he was a successor of the Battle Saint Lineage.
The last trace of doubt in his heart regarding Ye Chen being a successor of the Battle Saint Lineage completely vanished. After all, when he had encountered the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and sensed the Chaos Saint Soul, it wasn't truly facing Ye Chen's true self. Without witnessing the Saint Body origin, there had always been some suspicion. Only now, at this stage, was he truly convinced beyond doubt.
"This junior was merely fortunate to reach this step," Ye Chen replied with considerable humility, not the slightest bit arrogant.
Wushi Monarch, however, sighed lightly: "The Chaos Saint Body is peerless in the world. You have even condensed the Chaos Saint Body origin, merging chaos with the Battle Sacred Body, transcending all. For our lineage to produce a peerless prodigy like you, I believe even Master and the Saint Ancestor would be overjoyed upon learning of it."
"Patriarch Wushi flatters me too much. If this junior can one day catch up to Patriarch Wuxiang and the Saint Ancestor, even reaching one or two-tenths of their level, that would be my greatest aspiration."
Hearing this, Wushi Monarch shook his head. He was truly humble. Yet, his heart swelled with even greater joy, for this was a peerless prodigy who had emerged from the Battle Saint Lineage, achieving the unprecedented Chaos Saint Body. One day, he might rival Wuxiang Monarch, even the Battle Saint Ancestor.
If he could shatter the ancient, unprecedented shackles of chaos, he might even achieve the legendary eternity.
Ye Chen swept a glance over the stunned human powerhouses, then couldn't help but smile slightly: "You all seem to have many questions. Feel free to voice them."
The first to speak was Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor. He looked at Ye Chen, then at Wushi Monarch, hesitating slightly before finally blurting out: "Little Moon, you say he's your patriarch, so who is he?"
"Patriarch is naturally also a member of my Battle Saint Lineage," Ye Chen answered without hesitation.
Although they had vaguely guessed this already, upon hearing this answer, Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and the other human powerhouses were still filled with shock.
This peerless, majestic Primordial Monarch was truly a patriarch of the Battle Saint Lineage, and a Battle Saint at the Ancient Monarch level at that! How powerful must he be? It was simply unimaginable. Just his earlier pressure alone had nearly extinguished the two Divine King old-timers who burned their forms and spirits. One could imagine how unfathomably deep his cultivation was, definitely surpassing ordinary Ancient Monarchs.
After the shock, irrepressible joy surfaced. Since he was an Ancient Monarch of the Battle Saint Lineage, he was naturally also human.
Since he was a human Ancient Monarch, how could he possibly act against the human race? On the contrary, he stood on humanity's side.
Realizing this, the human powerhouses couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter. They then looked towards the other imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain powerhouses, finding the latter all with drastically changed, extremely ugly expressions.
Ye Chen clasped his hands towards the human powerholders with an apologetic smile: "My apologies, esteemed seniors. It was this junior's fault for not informing you sooner, nearly causing you to burn your forms and spirits. Please forgive this offense!"
Hearing this, although the human Divine Kings felt a lingering fear about their earlier near self-immolation, they also breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh heartily. The appearance of a human Ancient Monarch instantly reversed all unfavorable situations. The human race's position was not only not disadvantageous, but filled with every advantage.
And the Ancient Monarch-level existence who appeared as a seven-year-old boy also seemed to stand on humanity's side.
Boom—
From the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, numerous rays of light shot out, merging into the human powerhouses. It was the Divine King Revival Art, reaching everywhere without distance, even containing life origin power. In an instant, all injuries of the human powerhouses were completely healed.
The powerhouses all sensed the familiar life force within the light, identical to the life origin. They were slightly startled, then quickly understood. Could it be that this Ancient Monarch-level existence who looked like a young boy was the same one who emerged from the life origin to contend against the Ancient Nether Great Emperor's Emperor Thought incarnation?
However, even at this moment, Ye Chen still hadn't told anyone that the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's true identity was his Dao Body.
Some secrets were better known by fewer people; it was more beneficial for his future.
Meanwhile, the many imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain powerhouses who had been gloating earlier now wore expressions of extreme gloom and ugliness. No matter what, they had never imagined the situation would reverse so dramatically in the end.
The human race, from a state of despair, had suddenly ascended to heaven.
In stark contrast, the other gloating imperial clans and Immortal Clans had plummeted from heaven to hell. Their current mood was indescribably terrible.
Especially those who had earlier clamored for the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Wushi Monarch to exterminate the human race—like Ancient Ruins Emperor's Son, Life Emperor's Son, and others—each wore expressions of utter despair, their faces indescribably grim.
"The human race really hit the jackpot. That Ancient Monarch is actually a peerless existence from the Battle Saint Lineage."
"The humans are fine now. It's our turn to be unlucky. Don't forget how our various clans targeted the humans earlier."
"Prepare for the worst. Let's get ready to flee!"
The powerhouses of the various imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain were in extremely bad moods, though they subtly gathered together.
They all clearly understood that to deal with such an Ancient Monarch-level existence, fighting alone, even the three strongest forces—human, imperial clan, and Immortal Clan—would find it difficult to resist, let alone the imperial clan forces from other chaotic ancient universes; it was simply impossible.
Now that the human race stood on the opposite side, the alien race had been slaughtered by humans to the point of not daring to enter the deep ancient path. Though the Immortal Clan was powerful, it was isolated and helpless. Only by uniting together was the true way forward.
"Alright, now let's deal with the trouble from these foreign clans," Ye Chen looked towards the many imperial clan, Immortal Clan, and Mythical Emperor Domain powerhouses and smiled, though the curve of his lips appeared utterly indifferent and merciless no matter how one looked at it.
