The monarch of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan had finally emerged!
That boundless and vast might swept through all directions, causing billions of living beings to tremble and bow, unable to bear its pressure!
An Ancient Monarch wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon could unleash a terror of Emperor's might far beyond imagination. Even Yu Heng Emperor Son's expression changed instantly, a fleeting impulse to retreat crossing his mind. But he quickly sensed something and revealed a cold sneer: "No need to fear. The Golden Crow Emperor Clan indeed possesses an Ancient Monarch, but he is extremely aged, with not many years of life left."
His perception was incredibly powerful, able to detect an undeniable aura of twilight and decay within that vast monarchial heavenly might. Based on this, he judged that the Golden Crow Emperor Clan's Ancient Monarch did not have much time left to live.
The clansmen of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan all paled, never expecting the other party to have perceived this.
Visible to the naked eye, an extremely aged figure soared into the sky. His skin was dry like tree bark, his frame skeletal, his scalp sparsely covered with a few hairs, his blood energy withered. Everything, everything, proved that the Golden Crow Emperor Clan's Ancient Monarch was a creature at sunset, a hero past his prime, with not many good years left to live.
The Golden Crow race's Ancient Monarch rose slowly into the air. His dim, yellowish gaze looked beyond the Imperial City and then at his clansmen within the city. He let out a light sigh, filled with a fearlessness and resolve towards death: "Sealed away for endless eons, unable to die. Wasn't it precisely for this moment, to emerge when facing a clan-destroying crisis? So be it. Emerging today, if I can resolve the clan-destroying crisis, that is best. If I cannot, then I can only find release."
The Old Monarch's heart had long been at peace. If not for his constant concern for the clan's future, he would have passed away long ago. How could he have clung to life until this step?
"Ancient Ancestor!"
"Ancient Ancestor!" ...
Within the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, countless clansmen knelt down, filled with grief. Today, this Ancient Ancestor Monarch, sealed away for countless years, was finally to fulfill his mission and walk towards his end?
The other Golden Crow race Divine King ancestors also sighed softly, falling into silence.
Their situations were similar, all nearing the end of their lifespans. Therefore, they understood the Golden Crow Old Monarch's state of mind perfectly. Everything was for the sake of the race.
Yu Heng Emperor Son looked coldly at the Golden Crow Old Monarch and said, "Old fellow, do you intend to use this decrepit body to resist the various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans?"
The Golden Crow Old Monarch smiled, revealing few remaining teeth, his hair equally sparse. He was truly aged, a hero past his prime, evoking a sense of tragic grandeur. Otherwise, in his prime, few in the vast world could rival him. A young junior, even an Emperor Son, would not dare mock him so.
His turbid eyes fell upon Yu Heng Emperor Son and then swept over the other Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans. He smiled faintly, "This old one never expected that one day, I would witness so many Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans attacking my Golden Crow Clan. Truly rare."
His words were very calm, his view on the clan's destruction also detached. Perhaps because he was about to fade, about to pass away, he was in no hurry to act. He said, "This old one would like to know why you are attacking my Golden Crow Emperor Clan."
"The Emperor's Dao inheritance, the Origin Imperial World," Yu Heng Emperor Son replied, perhaps out of final respect for the Golden Crow Old Monarch.
"Is that so?" The Golden Crow Old Monarch shook his head. "Never expected that one day, my Golden Crow Emperor Clan would also be guilty of possessing a treasure left by our Emperor Ancestor. Somewhat ironic."
"However, although your various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans are powerful, thinking you can simply conquer my Golden Crow Emperor Clan like this is somewhat wishful thinking."
As he spoke, the Golden Crow Old Monarch's aura was continuously adjusting. From that seemingly moribund, coffin-bound aged body, a boundless might that could truly shake the heavens and earth slowly emerged—a genuine monarchial heavenly might, supremely powerful and limitless. The moment it bloomed forth, it seemed as if the entire Origin Imperial World trembled in response.
Even Yu Heng Emperor Son, standing opposite him, adopted a grave expression, because the Golden Crow Old Monarch before him had completely adjusted. Though still aged, still on death's door, at this moment, he could unleash a world-shaking, invincible power.
Boom—
The Golden Crow Old Monarch made his move, directly stepping out of the Immortal Imperial City. The unparalleled monarchial heavenly might on his body erupted completely and comprehensively, then swept through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Figures from the various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans were sent flying, unable to withstand it.
A starved camel is still bigger than a horse, let alone an Ancient Monarch who had not truly fallen. It was even more terrifying.
With every gesture, boundless power wantonly spread out.
"Ancient Ancestor!"
However, within the Imperial City, the clansmen of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan all wore expressions of grief. This was because the Golden Crow Old Monarch was exerting even greater power at the cost of his life force, even approaching his former state.
"Heh, a decrepit, aged Ancient Monarch, do you truly think you are at your peak?"
Yu Heng Emperor Son sneered coldly, utterly fearless. He directly advanced, controlling the vast power of the Emperor World, clashing with the Old Monarch and unfolding a world-shaking level monarchial battle that raged across who knew how many tens of thousands of miles.
"Do not damage the Emperor World. I believe you do not wish to either. Let us fight above."
The Golden Crow Old Monarch acted, twisting heaven and earth, shifting the battleground, taking Yu Heng Emperor Son with him.
Yu Heng Emperor Son did not stop him. In fact, as he wished to control the Golden Crow Emperor World, he also hoped it would be intact, not a damaged Emperor World. That was something he was unwilling to see.
The terrifying monarch-level battle occurred in the starry sky beyond the domain of the Golden Crow Emperor World, extremely fierce, with countless stars shattering.
At the same time, both sides were missing their supreme experts at the Ancient Monarch level. However, the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, relying on the Immortal Imperial City, could still resist like a turtle in its shell. Moreover, the supreme Emperor's weapon was also about to soar into the sky to support the Golden Crow Old Monarch.
"Stop the supreme Emperor's weapon! Do not let it fly into the starry sky, otherwise Yu Heng Emperor Son will be in trouble!"
The experts from the other Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans could not allow the supreme Emperor's weapon to rush into the starry sky beyond the domain. Otherwise, the Golden Crow Old Monarch, aided by the supreme Emperor's weapon, might not even be held back by the Emperor World's power. He could be severely injured, even slain—an outcome they were unwilling to see.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Terrifying attacks wantonly fell upon the heavenly curtain of the Immortal Imperial City like raindrops, each one containing extremely terrifying power. The heavenly curtain swayed precariously, only stabilizing thanks to the empowerment of the Emperor's might. But the situation remained far from optimistic, unable to provide much assistance to the Golden Crow Old Monarch.
"Damn these external enemies!"
The Golden Crow Emperor Clan clansmen were filled with hatred, yet felt powerless. The enemy's numbers were too great, their strength too overwhelming. The number of Divine Kings comparable to Grand Elders was actually close to fifty. When had such a sight been seen before? Perhaps only when the ancient Great Emperors were alive did such a prosperous scene exist.
But this was not that era, utterly incomparable. Even though the Golden Crow Emperor Clan was powerful by comparison, it could not possibly resist so many Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans.
Fortunately, these Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans had only sent a portion of their forces. If these Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans had poured out in full force, the Golden Crow Emperor Clan would undoubtedly be swept away in an instant, razed to the ground. This was an indisputable fact.
Rumble—
While the battle raged inside and outside the Imperial City, that fierce battle in the starry sky beyond the domain was also nearing its end.
Boom—
Finally, after a tremendous roar, one could vaguely see a giant bird appearing in the outer realms, far larger than a star.
It was a Golden Crow, but truly ancient, with few feathers remaining on its body, skeletal, its blood energy withered, yet still possessing world-shaking divine might.
With one long cry that shook the entire Origin Imperial World, there was a sense of powerless grief: "Emperor Ancestor, I am sorry. I cannot protect the Emperor World for you."
Boom—
Immediately after, with a thunderous roar, the old Golden Crow completely exploded in the starry sky beyond the domain, its body shattered to pieces.
The Golden Crow had fallen!
