The biggest problem was that Ye Chen could not completely dispel this Curse Power for the time being. It was too tenacious and difficult to destroy. Although he possessed the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, it was still insufficient, as this involved the dao principles of the Ancient Monarch level. Pure physical might could neutralize a large portion, but it could not completely annihilate it.
Therefore, Ye Chen was temporarily helpless. Moreover, this was akin to a tracking device; the opposing Ancient Monarch could completely use the Curse Power to deduce his true location.
Boom—
Suddenly, Ye Chen sensed something. From within the Curse Power suppressed by the Tenth Heaven Divine Halo, a faint screen of light flickered into visibility. Through the other side of the screen, he could see a peerless Dark Monarch seated at the distant other end. The Dark Monarch opened his dark, profound eyes, seemingly able to see this side as well, revealing a cold smile: "Blasphemer, I have finally found you!"
Boom—
The Curse Power erupted violently, tearing through the suppression of the Tenth Heaven Divine Halo and rushing out of Ye Chen's body. In the void, it transformed into a massive, pitch-black portal, constructed from Curse Power, appearing before him.
Visible to the naked eye, an invincible divine body was about to cross over from the other side of the dark portal, bringing with it overwhelming pressure that affected the endless spatial turbulence, forcibly creating a vacuum region spanning who knows how many tens of thousands of miles.
Terrifying!
An Ancient Monarch was about to cross over!
"Don't even think about coming over!"
Ye Chen roared, unleashing his full power. The Three Flowers Converge at the Crown, the three Divine King Great Dao origins and their intents erupted completely, continuously bombarding the dark portal. The attacks caused the dark portal to tremble violently, flickering as if it might shatter at any moment.
"Hold!"
A muffled voice transmitted from the other side of the dark portal, carrying the vast heavenly might of a Monarch and an ultimate power that stabilized the trembling dark portal.
Boom—
Simultaneously, an arm slowly extended from the dark portal. Although it appeared to be an ordinary human arm, the moment it reached through, its unparalleled pressure restrained everything, sealing space and time.
Too strong! Unbearable!
This was a true Ancient Monarch. Once they intentionally released their pressure, ordinary worlds could directly disintegrate and shatter under their boundless might.
Even someone as strong as Ye Chen found it difficult to struggle free from this terrifying Monarch's heavenly might, as they were not on the same level at all. The Ancient Monarch was stronger, akin to a giant dragon, while he was merely a slightly larger ant—the gap was too vast.
That hand was not very large, normal in size, yet it seemed capable of encompassing all heavens. Stars appeared extremely tiny before it. This was a Monarch's hand, capable of destroying great world realms with a mere lift, the power of a universe overlord, terrifying beyond measure.
It was also slowly reaching towards Ye Chen, aiming to seize him completely, to pull him from this side back to the other.
"Surrender now!"
The Dark Monarch coldly spoke. Before him, a mere Divine King could not struggle, could not escape.
Yet at this moment, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. He looked directly at the Dark Monarch and said, "Old fool, do you really think that with my abilities, you could deduce my true trail?"
The Dark Monarch was visibly taken aback, sensing something amiss, but soon replied coldly, "A mere ant, no matter how strong, is still just a Divine King. How can you resist this Monarch?"
His hand blotted out the sky, encompassing all heavens, grabbing towards Ye Chen, compressing this vast vacuum into his palm.
The might of an Ancient Monarch was unimaginable!
In his eyes, Ye Chen was merely struggling in his death throes.
"Senior, you said I have three chances to ask for your help. This is the second time. Please grant me power, take action!" Ye Chen shouted loudly. A vast, unparalleled power surged from his body, instantly breaking the restraint of this vacuum. A force beyond imagination descended, allowing Ye Chen to wield it as if it were his own arm, directly colliding with the Dark Monarch's hand.
Boom—
The endless spatial turbulence also erupted violently, tearing through everything, even affecting the Heavenly Emperor Realm, causing massive tremors.
Pfft—
The dark portal formed by Curse Power disintegrated. Dark blood splattered—it was the Dark Monarch's.
At the distant other end, the Dark Monarch looked at his wounded hand, his expression slightly unpleasant. "I didn't expect this Blasphemer to have a Monarch-level supreme expert protecting him from behind, catching this Monarch off guard and causing injury. I was indeed careless."
"But from his words, it seems he can only request help three times. That strike just now was already the second time."
"However, how credible that is is another matter. Perhaps he intentionally deceived this Monarch. Even if the credibility is not high, requesting the help of a Monarch-level peerless expert is very difficult. It's likely hard to call upon them for a second, third, or fourth time."
"In that case, this Blasphemer probably only has one last chance to request his help. That makes things easier."
"But who dares to take action to protect this Blasphemer, standing against the Heavenly Emperor Realm?"
The Dark Monarch was curious about who dared to protect this human Blasphemer, standing in opposition to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. But upon careful thought, it was probably a human Ancient Monarch; otherwise, other Ancient Monarchs within the Heavenly Emperor Realm would not dare to act—it would be seeking death.
He tried to deduce Ye Chen's precise location again. Unfortunately, that strand of Curse Power had completely transformed into the dark portal, allowing him to cross over and strike, exhausting it entirely without leaving a single trace.
Now, attempting deduction would be far more difficult than imagined. Moreover, the other party seemed naturally capable of concealing his aura, mastering certain Chaos dao techniques.
Meanwhile, within the endless spatial turbulence, Ye Chen also emerged, returning to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. He looked at the blood-stained dark blood of the Dark Monarch, which still carried extremely potent Curse Power, unlike the Divine Kings and Half-Step Divine Kings he had slain, whose divine souls were merely tainted by such Curse Power.
"This time will likely make the other party mistakenly believe that I have a Monarch-level senior on my side, but they won't know it's the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and the might of the Emperor Realm. They will also believe I can only act three times, and I have one action left. This will, to some extent, make the other party slightly more wary."
Ye Chen muttered to himself. At this stage, he had not truly exposed the identity of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. This was an important secret, making the world believe the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was always just a mysterious human Ancient Monarch, which could play a crucial role at critical moments.
He took out his communication jade token and contacted his beloved wives and his subordinate Supreme Geniuses, quickly reuniting with them.
Seeing Ye Chen safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they were unaware of the peril of that battle.
