Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle was fierce. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body confronted the nine Region Lords. Among them, the First and Second Region Lords were truly incomparably powerful, causing even Ye Chen to become solemn. They had genuinely stepped into the Sovereign realm through their own strength, unlike the other Region Lords who had relied on boundless Faith Power to enter this domain.
The entire Heavenly Emperor Palace trembled. If not for the fact that this was the former palace of the peerless Heavenly Emperor, inscribed with imperial heavenly patterns, an ordinary heavenly palace or divine temple would have long been reduced to ashes in such a battle. Even so, many halls and heavenly palaces collapsed, causing significant damage. Countless stars were also forcibly struck down.
"Speak! Where has the Heavenly Emperor gone? Where has the Faith Power gone?"
Ye Chen was domineering, controlling the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body with overwhelming force, as if the Formless Sovereign had returned to the world. His physical power was matchless under the heavens. With every punch and kick, he unleashed a might that made the Heavenly Emperor Realm tremble. Infinite celestial light surged mightily, seemingly about to completely tear apart the nine layers of clouds.
"Human race sinners! Back in the day, when we ten Divine Generals followed the Heavenly Emperor to conquer the All Heavens, we killed gods who blocked our way, slaughtered Buddhas who stood in our path, and even demons trembled in fear. Today, you too shall be annihilated by us!"
The nine Region Lords were equally forceful. They coordinated with each other, with the First and Second Region Lords being genuine Primordial Monarchs, while the other seven Region Lords cooperated, jointly confronting the fearsome Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
These were the ten Divine Generals who once followed the Heavenly Emperor in his campaigns. Now, after endless years, they joined forces once more. Although they had lost the Fifth Region Lord, they were still immensely powerful.
One must know that during the chaotic era, the Heavenly Emperor rarely took action personally. It was they who acted on behalf of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, sweeping across the six directions and eight wastelands, carving out a bright and clear world. Throughout the vast world, all enemies were exterminated.
Now, it seemed as if they had returned to that era. The nine Region Lords struck like thunderbolts, aiming to suppress and kill this seemingly young human race peerless expert, to awe the All Heavens and restore order to the world.
"Heroes don't boast about past bravery. If your Faith Power still remained abundant, I might have been slightly wary. But now, you are merely a few old monster Divine Kings. How can you fight?"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked like a seven-year-old boy, but that tender, handsome face bore the same indifference as Ye Chen's. He struck like thunder, his Supreme physical might surpassing all else. The cosmos was about to be shattered, and the myriad Daos were forced to retreat.
He did not employ any great Dao laws, relying purely on his physical might to tear apart all the divine attacks of the nine Region Lords. Every move he made was a supreme power that shook the All Heavens.
The battle directly erupted out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace and into the outer starry void, obliterating entire star domains. Countless stars were reduced to nothingness in this rare, monarch-level battle spanning ages, never to exist again. From then on, who knew how many star domains were plunged into permanent darkness.
During the exchange, Ye Chen shattered the divine halos enveloping the nine Region Lords. The remaining Faith Power was completely exhausted, revealing their true forms, which shocked the world.
For, apart from the First and Second Region Lords, the other seven Region Lords were all incredibly ancient old fossils. Their flesh and blood were withered, their skin like dried bark, with barely any hair or beard left. They were extremely aged, like the setting sun, belonging to those in their twilight years.
In the past, they had taken that other step and gained the immense lifespan of a Primordial Monarch by receiving boundless Faith Power.
But now, with the Faith Power depleted, several of them had reverted to their original state, belonging to the Divine King level. Their lifespans were greatly reduced. It was already remarkable that they hadn't been immediately extinguished by time, let alone restored to their peak blood and energy state. That was simply impossible.
Finally, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body unleashed an invincible imposing might and even mobilized the fundamental power of the Extinction Emperor Realm, causing his combat power to soar dramatically. He overpowered the nine Region Lords, sending them all flying backward, coughing blood from their mouths as they crashed into the star domain, shattering who knew how many stars.
The whole world was in an uproar!
The mysterious human race Primordial Monarch was too terrifying! Alone, he had overturned the nine Region Lords—unprecedented!
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body circulated infinite mighty power, preparing to continue the attack. At this point, the nine Region Lords compromised, speaking out: "Hold on! We can tell you some secrets. His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor mysteriously disappeared. We don't know where he went either. The boundless Faith Power was always stored in the Heavenly Emperor Palace before. We also don't know where the Faith Power has gone."
"Do you think I would believe your words?" Ye Chen manipulated the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and attacked again, fighting until heaven crumbled and earth split. The nine Region Lords couldn't hold their ground. Some were torn apart, some had their chests and abdomens pierced, and some were even blasted apart. Like the Third Region Lord, whom Ye Chen took the opportunity to take revenge on—his curse-filled dark soul was torn apart, enduring a kind of torment.
Without a doubt, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body fought with an invincible imposing might, peerless in the world, unmatched. The nine Region Lords were utterly defeated. Later, two more were successively slain—the aged Region Lords were completely shattered, their fearsome cursed souls utterly obliterated.
Of the ten Region Lords, one had been killed before, and now two more were slain, leaving only seven Region Lords—a strange desolation.
Unfortunately, no results were obtained from the interrogation. They seemed genuinely unaware.
More importantly, the seven remaining Region Lords turned and hid within an important divine temple inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Inside, there were indeed supreme Dao patterns left by the Heavenly Emperor, belonging to the true imperial domain. Once activated, even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body dared not force his way in, sensing a fearsome threat.
It was just a pity that these array patterns were for defense, not offense. Otherwise, the seven Region Lords wouldn't have been reduced to such a sorry state.
Finally, with no results from the fruitless questioning, Ye Chen stopped asking. But he was also formidable. He separated the heavenly palace hall where the seven Region Lords were hiding and, carrying the even more majestic and vast Heavenly Emperor Palace—including the main hall with the Heavenly Emperor's throne—departed just like that.
When the world saw the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body return, carrying the incomparably grand Heavenly Emperor Palace across star domains, they were all dumbfounded.
This was just too damn formidable.
Even the Heavenly Emperor Palace had been taken away.
Thus, the world knew that the eternally enduring Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, having reached its peak, had now declined completely, becoming history.
The various imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domains fell silent. They had long experienced the methods of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body many years ago. Although somewhat shocked, they were not surprised.
The human race, originally like rats scurrying across the street that everyone wanted to beat, emerged one after another. Moreover, some of the array patterns left by the Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Emperor Palace were gradually cleared away by the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, as he had brought a Supreme Emperor Weapon this time.
Human race powerhouses took possession of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
The other Heavenly Emperor Halls were also grabbed over, becoming the backyard of the human race.
The whole world was shaken. The human race had become utterly invincible in the Heavenly Emperor Realm. The various imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain forces could only smile bitterly in silence.
