On this day, the Heaven-Penetrating Old Divine King entered seclusion within the Emperor's Hall, beginning his assault on the Ancient Monarch realm.
This caused many of the old-timer Divine Kings to sigh inwardly with gloom. They too yearned to charge into that Ancient Monarch realm, but the current circumstances simply did not permit it. They were all too old and frail, unable to truly take that step.
Even the Ye Family's Old Divine King, who had refined a considerable amount of life essence, his flesh and blood now full and abundant, had not the slightest confidence in charging the Monarch realm.
Because he was still far from reaching his true peak state.
His inner world of origin was too powerful, and he lacked the confidence that his physical body could truly withstand it. The slightest misstep would inevitably lead to his body being shattered to pieces, his form and spirit utterly annihilated.
At the same time, on this day, Monarch Wushi also made his move.
He sat atop the highest point of the Ninth Heavenly Pass, his Monarch Dharma Form towering between heaven and earth. It was a Saint Body Golden Body, indescribably tall and majestic, rivaling the Heavenly Pass in height, piercing into the thirty-three layers of the firmament, causing the myriad stars to tremble.
Streams of indescribably majestic power continuously emanated from the Saint Body Golden Body Dharma Form, permeating the heavens. Visible to the naked eye, boundless Saint Body golden light surged towards the infinite expanse of the first eight Heavenly Passes ahead on the Origin Ancient Path.
Unimaginably majestic power spread out unceasingly. With Monarch Wushi taking action, the entire Origin Ancient Path seemed to tremble.
Everyone knew that this was Monarch Wushi acting, searching for the true location of the great terror existence within the Chaos Burial Ground. That golden light was his perception, the diffusion of his soul power.
Yet countless people were astounded in their hearts. The Origin Ancient Path was nearly boundless. Even if Monarch Wushi traveled at full speed, it would take him a full day and night.
Across such a vast and limitless expanse, even as an Ancient Monarch, he likely could not truly cover every single corner.
To envelop the entire Origin Ancient Path in a single thought—without being an Emperor or a Supreme Immortal, how could it be done?
However, Monarch Wushi hailed from an Emperor Clan and was also of the Battle Saint lineage. It was rumored his master was the famously renowned Monarch of Monarchs, the Formless Monarch. Perhaps he possessed corresponding heaven-penetrating means to envelop the heavens.
No one disturbed Monarch Wushi.
Simultaneously, the various powerhouses began their preparations for the great battle. They were all at the Ninth Heavenly Pass. Whether they were Divine King figures or the younger generation's Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes, they all began drilling the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays.
And it was quite evident that among the younger generation's Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, the number of Strongest Young Supremes was insufficient. However, Mo Haishen, Luo Guyun, and several other powerful high-level young supremes were selected. Often, several of them worked together to occupy one position, so they weren't far behind.
Whether it was the older generation or the younger generation, they were either Divine King realm figures or at the Strongest Young Supreme level—all extraordinary individuals. Naturally, they coordinated and mastered the arrays quickly.
After a brief month, both the old and young Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays had coordinated extremely proficiently. Once activated, their power could completely annihilate the vast heavens and slay Monarch-level figures, truly worthy of being called peerless battle arrays.
Even Ye Chen's Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, facing them, felt an endless threat pressing upon him, giving him a sense of being targeted by a peerless great menace.
To verify the true power of the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body personally conducted trials, using its Supreme Level physical body to withstand them successively. Without exception, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was almost suppressed each time.
Even though it wasn't a true life-and-death battle, the power of the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays was displayed without concealment. Once fully unleashed, they might even be capable of slaying a peerless Monarch.
Moreover, these were two complementary arrays, one yin and one yang. Once combined, their power would be unimaginably greater.
It was just a pity that with Monarch Wushi stationed at the Ninth Heavenly Pass, the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays couldn't experience to what extent their true power could reach.
To more directly verify the peerless power of the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays, the Qin Emperor Clan even went so far as to lend a supreme Emperor's weapon to the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. It was a majestic giant city ten thousand li long, hailed as the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall. But when truly enlarged, it was no less than an indestructible Heavenly Pass, immense and boundless.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, wielding the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall, confronted the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays, battling in the boundless desolate lands beyond the Tenth Heavenly Pass for verification.
The results were encouraging. Even when the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body employed the supreme Emperor's weapon, it could not overpower the two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays. Even a single Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array could barely contend against the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body possessing the supreme Emperor's weapon.
When the yin and yang Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays combined, they would even exhibit a power that could startle immortals. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, holding the supreme Emperor's weapon, felt a terrifying crisis. Even with the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall's defense, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's Supreme Level physical body was beaten to the point of nearly vomiting blood. One could imagine how terrifying it was—likely even Monarch Wushi would be no match facing it.
Time continued to pass. The two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays were mastered with increasing proficiency, capable of unleashing even more fearsome power.
During this period, Ye Chen once entered the deathly world of the myriad decaying divine demons, staying for a full three days and nights before emerging, his expression filled with disappointment for unknown reasons.
In truth, Ye Chen very much wanted to know who exactly the existence within the pitch-black burial coffin was. He somewhat suspected it was someone from the blood-stained future by his side. Unfortunately, the myriad decaying divine demons absolutely forbade Ye Chen from approaching the pitch-black burial coffin, let alone opening it. It nearly drove him to summon the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. In the end, recalling that these decaying divine demons had once aided the human race, he had no choice but to relent.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen began to truly spar with the various Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants, located within a martial practice realm of the Qin Emperor Clan, woven in advance by Monarch Wushi using Monarch laws, making it exceptionally stable.
The various Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants had no choice but to fight, as this was a condition.
However, they harbored not the slightest fear. Even knowing that Ye Chen's strength had reached a level where he could suppress Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants of the same rank in a direct confrontation, even slaying those at this level, they still carried a fierce fighting spirit.
After all, they hadn't truly faced him head-on in battle. Even knowing there was a gap, they were unwilling to admit defeat casually. They also wanted to learn the limits of Ye Chen's strength as a Chaos Young Supreme.
"Qingqing, A Beinu, Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Mountain Chicken, Junior Brother—"
On this day, Ye Chen directly summoned the Emperor Sons and Daughters and Strongest Young Supremes from the human race side. Over sixteen individuals at the Strongest Young Supreme level came before him.
