Ye Chen and the other two appeared, stepping out from the concealed void.
At this moment, the three of them were somewhat surprised, not expecting this person to be able to detect their presence.
Upon the divine throne, the Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord's expression turned slightly solemn.
The ability to detect the three of them was due to his special control over the central divine temple and his sufficiently powerful cultivation.
Under his divine sense, the many powerful guards outside the central divine temple had not detected any abnormality here at all. It was precisely this that made the Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord feel a slight chill.
"Who are you?"
Seeing the suddenly appearing Ye Chen and the others, this Great Power Dominator's expression darkened slightly. At the same time, he sensed something amiss, because before him, this trio who resembled an immortal couple and their companion seemed to have no fluctuations of power, as if they were mere mortals.
However, being able to bypass the heavily guarded temple defenses and appear in the central divine temple, displaying such methods, they were definitely not ordinary individuals.
Nevertheless, the Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord was the strongest in the entire Monarch Great World and naturally felt no fear. After a brief moment of surprise, he regained his composure, his eyes filled with an unquestionable majesty.
His gaze swept over the three of them: the man was as elegant as jade, and the two women were peerless beauties rarely seen in the world, their stunning beauty enough to stir even the heart of a Dominator like him.
But after all, he was a super powerhouse who had cultivated for many years, his Dao heart long since firm. His goal was the supreme and unparalleled Emperor's Path, unmoved by external things. He spoke with authority, "Since you can evade the many guards and enter the divine temple, the three of you must be extraordinary figures. However, as the master of this world, I know all the powerful individuals in this Mieqiong Great World clearly, yet I have never seen the three of you. Therefore, there is only one possibility."
"You must be from the outside world!"
Though it was phrased as speculation, his tone carried absolute certainty.
Ye Chen and the other two were slightly surprised that he had guessed so quickly, and they smiled.
"Yes, you're not wrong. We are indeed from the outside world."
Ye Chen readily admitted, seeing no need to hide it.
The Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord looked up, as if he could pierce through the dome, see beyond the Anlan Great World, and gaze upon the boundless domain, murmuring to himself, "Back when I obtained the Monarch's inheritance, I also learned that this Mieqiong Great World is not everything."
"Beyond this world, there exists a far vaster and more expansive infinite domain, boundless and limitless."
"Naturally, when I stepped into the Great Power realm, I tried to leave the Mieqiong Great World and saw the situation outside. However, the scene beyond the Mieqiong Great World far exceeded my imagination. In the endless void, fragments were everywhere, each fragment comparable to a continent, immensely huge and carrying a tragic aura."
"At that time, I felt that perhaps a peerless battle of unparalleled scale had occurred beyond this world."
"That kind of battle even far exceeded imagination. Even the original Dominator of the Mieqiong Great World, Monarch Mieqiong, could never have achieved it. It was likely the scenes of battle between Emperors or Supreme Immortals as you outsiders describe."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and the other two exchanged glances, somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected a Great Power who grew up in a Monarch Great World to know so many profound secrets.
However, considering that he had inherited the legacy of this Monarch Great World, he might have learned many of the world's mysteries from it.
"Yes, you guessed correctly. The endless continent fragments beyond this great world were caused by an extremely fearsome, peerless battle from endless ages ago. Moreover, in that battle, the number of ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals who participated far exceeded your imagination. And the great world you reside in is actually a Monarch Great World that survived after one of the ancient Monarchs who participated in that most terrifying Emperor War perished." Ye Chen truthfully informed him, without any deception.
"Is that so?" The Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord nodded, then looked at the three of them and said, "In that case, where do you come from? Are you beings from other surviving worlds?"
"No—"
Yu Qing spoke up, "We come from an Ancient Universe that is countless times more vast and boundless than the Monarch Great World you reside in. And the Monarch Great World you are in is merely one region within this broken Primordial Path, which we outsiders call the Emperor War Domain."
The Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord showed no surprise. In fact, having inherited Monarch Mieqiong's legacy, he had learned many secrets, including those about the Ancient Chaos Universe, the Chaos Sea, and so on.
These people before him clearly came from the Ancient Chaos Universe, which was far more vast and boundless by countless times—a place described as limitless, without the constraints of heaven and earth, capable of giving birth to supreme existences like ancient Great Emperors or Supreme Immortals.
The Monarch Mieqiong of the past had also come from the Ancient Chaos Universe.
"The Ancient Chaos Universe, truly a place to yearn for. In this Monarch Great World, perhaps by relying on Monarch Mieqiong's inheritance, I can eventually inherit the entire Monarch Great World and even break into the Monarch realm, but that is ultimately the limit."
"To become stronger and prove the Dao to become an Emperor, the only path is to go to the Ancient Chaos Universe. That is the sole way forward." The Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord murmured softly.
Ye Chen and the other two were slightly surprised. This Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord before them possessed a kind of wisdom; he did not seem like a being born from a Monarch Great World, but more like an ancient fossil from the Ancient Chaos Universe who had lived for countless years, able to see through the mortal world.
Then, the Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord's gaze fell upon Ye Chen and the other two. "Gentlemen, may I ask why you have entered my Mieqiong Great World? However, with your methods, if you wished to go to other regions, you could have silently avoided all detection. Yet you came to the central divine temple, appearing before me. You likely come with ill intentions."
"We want to refine this Monarch Great World." Ye Chen was very direct, without the slightest concealment.
Hearing this, the Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord seemed not to have expected Ye Chen to state it so bluntly. He showed a trace of surprise, then his gaze deepened. Even without deliberately releasing it, it carried an intense majesty that could almost crush everything. He said coldly, "I'm sorry, but my Mieqiong Great World cannot be refined by outsiders."
As his words fell, a vast and mighty aura slowly bloomed from his body, spreading out. Wherever it passed, space and time seemed to solidify.
However, a faint radiance flowed around Ye Chen and the other two, easily blocking the Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord's vast might, which made the latter's expression grow even more solemn.
Because he could see that these three were all truly peak powerhouses.
Ye Chen nodded. "I understand. If this Monarch Great World were ownerless, we would naturally refine it. But since it has an owner, we will not force its refinement."
