To the left and slightly below the Wushi Monarch, twenty-four figures stood, precisely the twenty-four Divine Kings of the Imperial Clan Qin Family. This was an utterly terrifying lineup of Divine Kings.
Even for any single one of the three major races—the human race, the alien races, or the Immortal Clans—the number of Divine King powerhouses appearing in the Mythical Ruins Land was far inferior. Among them were two Divine King Old Antiques whose strength was not inferior to the Old Divine King of the Ye Family.
Witnessing this scene, even though it was known that the Imperial Clan Qin Family's number of Divine Kings was certainly not small, no one had imagined that a full twenty-four Divine Kings would appear at once. Even the various Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans in their respective Chaos Ancient Universe headquarters would not dare claim to have so many Divine King powerhouses.
To the right and slightly below the Great Emperor's reincarnation body, over a dozen Divine Kings from the human side were also seated in rows.
Behind these Divine Kings were the human race's Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and the strongest young Supreme Ones.
Without a doubt, this meeting was led by the human race.
However, regarding all this, the various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and powerhouses from the Mythical Emperor Domains had no objections.
From the main seat, the Wushi Monarch got straight to the point: "This time, I shall not waste words. The main purpose of this discussion is to target the Great Terror Existence from the Chaos Burial Ground that is undergoing true transformation. I need not say more; I believe everyone knows it rivals an ancient Great Emperor. According to the many pieces of intelligence obtained, it has devoured the billions of living beings from the eight Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans guarding the first eight Immortal Passes of the Origin Ancient Path as blood sustenance and is in the midst of transformation."
"Now, countless tens of thousands of years have passed. Even if it wishes to restore its Emperor Realm, it is not easy and requires a long period of time. It is likely nearing the completion of its transformation. Once the transformation succeeds, I believe everyone knows how terrifying an existence at the level of an ancient Great Emperor would be."
In the Emperor Hall, the various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain powerhouses all nodded inwardly, their expressions uniformly grave, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
At this moment, an Immortal Clan Divine King Old Antique was the first to speak, cupping his fists respectfully: "May I ask, Monarch, if you have a method to locate the Great Terror Existence that escaped from the Chaos Burial Ground?"
This was also what everyone wanted to know. After all, after they left the Deep Ancient Path, it had vanished. And the Deep Ancient Path was precisely the true headquarters of the Great Terror Existence from the Chaos Burial Ground. If even the Deep Ancient Path could not be found, how could they talk about eliminating this hidden danger?
The Wushi Monarch said indifferently: "The other party was once an existence at the level of an ancient Great Emperor. If it wishes to hide, even for me to find it would be extremely troublesome."
Hearing this, a commotion broke out in the Emperor Hall, many people filled with worry.
Even the human race powerhouses were somewhat concerned, though the many Divine Kings of the Imperial Clan Qin Family and Qin Wushuang remained calm.
Pressing his palm down slightly, as if an invisible force spread out, the slight commotion in the Emperor Hall instantly quieted. The Wushi Monarch spoke with a faint yet immense authority: "You all need not worry excessively. Although the other party wishes to hide, it was once an existence at the level of an ancient Great Emperor, but now it is not. Therefore, it has left behind some traces. I can find its true location within three months, so you need not be overly concerned."
The Wushi Monarch's words also eased the tension that had gripped everyone. Since he spoke thus, he had the confidence to find it.
"Now there are only about three months left. Once the true location of the Chaos Burial Ground Great Terror Existence is found, we must begin to act; it should not be delayed." The Wushi Monarch spoke slowly, his voice carrying a kind of authority and also a heaviness, making many feel pressure, for the great battle was imminent, not far off.
After a pause, the Wushi Monarch continued: "Now, you various Divine King figures should begin to cooperate and drill the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array. Although this Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array is far from comparable to the true Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, it still possesses a fraction of its power. Once fully unleashed, it similarly possesses the terrifying might to rival a peerless Sovereign. Moreover, with the addition of the many Divine Kings from the human race and my Imperial Clan Qin Family, it is enough to fill the one hundred and eight positions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends. It could even slay a peerless Sovereign, being only stronger, not weaker."
"However, currently, you all cannot yet fully master the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array. Therefore, in the next three months, you should begin to familiarize yourselves with each other well, to cooperate even better."
"Yes!" The many Divine Kings responded in unison. With the great battle at hand, there was absolutely no time to care about past mutual reservations. As long as they fully cooperated and mastered the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, it would be enough to become an important combat force in the battle against the Chaos Burial Ground Great Terror Existence.
Then, the Wushi Monarch looked at the Immortal Dao Descendant behind that Immortal Clan Divine King Old Antique who mastered the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array. He was a peerlessly transcendent heavenly pride, so handsome he could completely be compared to an immortal maiden, even more exquisite, with flawless physique, skin like ice and bones like jade, every inch of his body flowing with resplendent immortal light power, like a young Immortal King—a peerlessly handsome man that would make women feel ashamed upon seeing him.
Chu Shenjun!
Son of the Hongtian Immortal King!
This was a famous Immortal Dao Descendant, not only because his father was one of the few Immortal King giants who dominated the rise and fall of the Primordial Immortal World, but also because his cultivation had reached the Divine King Realm. He was one of the leaders among the many Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and strongest young Supreme Ones.
Seeing this, the Immortal Clan Divine King Old Antique from the Hongtian Immortal Clan immediately grew nervous and hurriedly spoke: "Monarch, my clan's Young Ancestor has never acted against the human race. Please do not take action."
He was very worried that the Wushi Monarch would act against Chu Shenjun. Even though Chu Shenjun was extremely powerful, standing at the true pinnacle of the pyramid among the younger generation, he absolutely could not contend with the Wushi Monarch, an Ancient Monarch.
The Wushi Monarch shook his head. That silent Immortal Dao Descendant was strong, a Divine King-level Immortal Dao Descendant, ranked among the strongest on the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain Heavenly Rankings. However, even as a Divine King, he was far from comparable to her.
Naturally, the Wushi Monarch did not intend to deliberately make things difficult for Chu Shenjun. She said: "You need not worry. However, since your clan masters two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays, at this time, bring them both out. After resolving the Chaos Burial Ground Great Terror Existence, they will certainly be returned to your clan."
The Immortal Clan Divine King Old Antique's heart skipped a beat. Behind him, the Divine King-level Immortal Dao Descendant Chu Shenjun also instantly flashed a sharp light in his eyes. He had not expected the Wushi Monarch to have seen through it.
Since the Immortal Clan Divine King Old Antique of the Hongtian Immortal Clan could master the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, how could the Immortal Dao Descendant, as the Young Ancestor, not have mastered such an array?
One old, one young, each mastered one.
Light shone from between the Divine King-level Immortal Dao Descendant's eyebrows, from which flew out a majestic battle array with astonishing aura—what else could it be but the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array.
Moreover, what was more important was that the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array mastered by Chu Shenjun was not inferior to the one mastered by the Divine King Old Antique. Even more importantly, it seemed subtly different from the latter's array, as if they could complement each other, combine, and become more complete.
Her gaze fell upon Chu Shenjun's Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array. The Wushi Monarch's eyes flickered slightly, appearing both profound and penetrating. She said: "As expected of an Immortal King family. These two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays are one yin, one yang. As long as they merge, they can unleash sufficiently heaven-shaking power, and it's not as simple as one plus one."
The many powerhouses were shaken. Could the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays mastered by the Hongtian Immortal Clan actually complement each other?
The Wushi Monarch continued: "Now, among this younger generation, who among the Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and strongest young Supreme Ones is weak? Even the weakest one can probably now unleash combat power infinitely close to the Divine King Realm. Cooperating together, isn't that another combat force rivaling a peerless Sovereign? With one more Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, we have even more confidence in slaying the Chaos Burial Ground Great Terror Existence."
"Moreover, when the time comes, the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays cooperating together will possess astonishing divine might. Our side's chances of victory will only be greater."
These words were impossible to refuse. Moreover, at this critical moment, hiding things was useless. It was better to bring them out openly, which was actually better.
After this round of discussion, the Sovereign-level combat forces now included, from the initial Wushi Monarch, the Great Emperor's reincarnation body, and the many Divine Kings' Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, the addition of the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array mastered by the many Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and strongest young Supreme Ones—all combat forces rivaling peerless Sovereigns.
Within the Imperial Clan Qin Family, there was also the Supreme Emperor Weapon left behind by the Eternal First Emperor Qin Shihuang. With four peerless Sovereign-level combat forces, combined with the Supreme Emperor Weapon, they truly possessed the power to fight.
And this still did not include the Rotten Divine Demon and the mysterious existence within the pitch-black burial coffin.
Moreover, being able to guard the Ninth Immortal Pass of the Origin Ancient Path and guard the Chaos Burial Ground, when the Eternal First Emperor Qin Shihuang left, how could he not have left corresponding Emperor Dao contingencies?
"This old one will not participate in the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array. I happen to have some insights and will go into seclusion for a while, hoping to achieve a breakthrough." Suddenly, the Tongtian Old Divine King spoke. Yet his words were like thunder exploding, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone knew that the Tongtian Old Divine King's current realm was infinitely close to the Sovereign domain, only the final step away, even just a hair's breadth.
Now he was going into seclusion, wanting to achieve a breakthrough. If not to become an Ancient Monarch, then what?
If it were the Tongtian Old Divine King of the past, aged and physically declining, even if he had a breakthrough in mental state, limited by his extremely aged body, he could not completely take that final step.
But having refined quite a bit of life essence, his flesh and blood had become much fuller again, giving him full qualification to take that final step for a breakthrough.
The crowd was both pleasantly surprised and somewhat frustrated.
The pleasant surprise was that if the Tongtian Old Divine King truly broke through and became a Sovereign, this side would gain another Ancient Monarch-level combat force, increasing their chances of victory.
However, the frustration was that the Tongtian Old Divine King belonged to the human race side. Originally, the human race was already extremely powerful due to the Great Emperor's reincarnation body, the Wushi Monarch, and the Imperial Clan Qin Family. Now, if they gained another Ancient Monarch, they would become who knows how many times stronger, posing an even greater threat to the various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain powerhouses. Their hopes of competing for the many Emperor inheritances and heaven-defying supreme treasures to achieve Ancient Monarch status in the Mythical Ruins Land would become even smaller.
The Wushi Monarch nodded: "Good, go and break through."
