Even the opposing Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and others, at this moment, held solemn respect. To be able to act this way at such a time, even as an enemy, this Battle Saint King was a person worthy of respect, deserving the reverence of all.
"I will also face one!" Yu Qing spoke up, her delicate hand tightening around her husband's palm, their fingers interlocked. Naturally, at this time, she would follow her husband's lead, sharing in every battle.
They were an admirable immortal couple.
"I'll take the third one!"
Boom—
Immortal light erupted as an ethereal, transcendent figure suddenly descended. It was the Peerless Divine King Chu Shenjun. He had also appeared, immortal light swirling around his body, further set off by three thousand divine halos, like a supreme Immortal King surrounded by three thousand great worlds, possessing an undeniable charisma.
He nodded towards Ye Chen and Yu Qing, revealing a faint smile. "With great calamity upon us, I, Chu Shenjun, naturally must contribute my part."
Behind him, the Immortal Clan's Divine King Ancient also appeared, sighing softly. "This old man can also delay a Quasi-Monarch for a brief time!"
The Divine Emperor's Son also appeared, his divine might shaking the world, tearing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, possessing an invincible imposing manner. His voice boomed like heavenly thunder, deafening to the ears: "I will fight the fourth one!"
Boom— Boom— Boom—
From among the Myriad Heavens Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans, three other figures rushed out. They were none other than Yu Wudi, Huang Yao, and other veteran Divine King-level Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants who had stood at the Divine King realm for many years, all of whom could be called Peerless Divine Kings. Originally hidden in the background, they now emerged at this critical moment to confront the twelve Quasi-Monarchs of the Chaos Burial Ground.
In an instant, eight Peerless Divine King figures had emerged, all capable of briefly blocking a Quasi-Monarch.
But there were still four Quasi-Monarchs. Who would block them?
It wasn't that other Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, or Immortal Dao descendants were unwilling to act, but not everyone possessed the Peerless Divine King combat power of Ye Chen, Yu Qing, Chu Shenjun, and the others.
Rumble—
The twelve Quasi-Monarchs of the Chaos Burial Ground descended from the sky, rolling forward. Seeing this scene, they revealed indifferent expressions. "Mere Divine Kings dare to block us? Even if we are not Ancient Monarchs, killing you all is as easy as turning over a hand!"
In their eyes, the so-called Peerless Divine King-level combat power of Ye Chen and the others was not taken seriously at all. The twelve directly attacked, tearing through the firmament, intending to annihilate the eight Peerless Divine King-level combatants.
Only these eight were the most powerful. As long as they were killed, the rest would be nothing but fish on a chopping block, to be slaughtered at will!
The expressions of Ye Chen and the others turned grim, but at this moment, they could only erupt with their full power and engage in a peak-level battle.
"Heh, people of the Chaos Burial Ground, if you want to kill them, you'll have to see if this old man is willing!"
A voice tinged with vicissitudes suddenly resounded.
Boom—
Accompanying it, a vast and majestic power surged forth from behind the Myriad Heavens Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain. Its might was overwhelming, colliding with the twelve Quasi-Monarchs.
Crack—
The five Imperial Tomb space-times trembled, the firmament shattered, and stars perished one after another, forever dimming in that starfield.
"Who is it?!"
The twelve Quasi-Monarchs slightly changed color. The only possibility for someone who could block their combined attack was—
An Ancient Monarch!
The countless forces of the Myriad Heavens Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, Mythical Emperor Domain, and others were stunned. Their side actually still had combat power at the Ancient Monarch level.
In the firmament, within the void, billions of zhang of divine light blazed brilliantly. Then, visible to the naked eye, a slightly aged figure descended from the sky. He carried a special kind of grace and transcendence, like a true immortal untouched by worldly affairs, his hands clasped behind his back, descending step by step from the sky at a steady pace as if treading on invisible stairs.
He was so light, ethereal, and transcendent, capturing the attention of all.
"Who is he?"
The Myriad Heavens Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domain all showed expressions of astonishment. Yet, many vaguely felt this old man seemed familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before.
The human race side was even more so, looking towards the Qin family of the Emperor Clans. But the various powerhouses of the Qin family smiled wryly, indicating that this Ancient Monarch did not belong to the Qin family.
This was even more shocking. If not from the Qin Emperor Clan, what other force could produce an Ancient Monarch?
The Golden Crow Emperor Clan?
That also seemed unlikely.
Swish—
Ye Chen, taking those beside him, stepped into the sky, arriving before the old man. He respectfully cupped his fists, revealing a look of pleasant surprise. "Congratulations, Senior Tongtian, for taking that step and becoming an Ancient Monarch!"
The powerhouses of the Myriad Heavens erupted in an uproar. Countless gazes filled with pleasant surprise looked over. So it was the old Divine King Tongtian, no wonder he felt somewhat familiar.
However, the Tongtian Old Divine King of the past was skin and bones. Even after later obtaining life essence, his flesh and blood had become somewhat fuller, but compared to now, he looked only in his early fifties, with full and vigorous flesh and blood, clearly a significant difference.
But the most delightful surprise was that the former Tongtian Old Divine King, after secluding himself in cultivation for many years, had finally taken that step and become an Ancient Monarch.
Now, they no longer feared the twelve Quasi-Monarchs of the Chaos Burial Ground.
The Tongtian Old Divine King, or perhaps more accurately called Tongtian Monarch now, had full flesh and blood and vigorous vitality. Even though it was now restrained within his body, one could still sense the supreme might contained within that seemingly somewhat aged body, far surpassing that of a Divine King.
His gaze fell upon Ye Chen, also revealing a look of astonishment. "Little friend, you have finally become a Divine King, and a Chaos Divine King at that. With four Divine King tribulations, this old man senses your cultivation far exceeds that of an ordinary Four Tribulation Divine King by many times, enough to rival a peak Eight or Nine Tribulation Divine King."
It must be said, Monarch Tongtian's old eyes were sharp, seeing through Ye Chen's cultivation at a glance. Even as a Chaos Divine King, it was difficult to hide one's true cultivation before an Ancient Monarch, as the gap in realms between them was too great.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, not deliberately hiding it, but at this moment, he didn't say much more. He was simply very happy, overjoyed, because this Divine King Ancient had finally taken the final step. From now on, he could stand proudly above the vast universe, becoming a hegemon of the cosmos.
Others, like the Ye family's Divine King Ancient and other Divine King Ancients, upon learning of this, found it difficult to express their complex feelings.
In the past, they were all at the same realm, with withered flesh and blood, unable to break through. But now, they witnessed Tongtian taking that step. One who was once in the same predicament had reversed everything, becoming an Ancient Monarch standing proudly above the Nine Heavens. Who could put into words the thoughts in their hearts?
In the end, it could only turn into a helpless sigh.
Ye Chen said, "Senior Tongtian, your arrival is truly too timely."
Even Ye Chen could hardly conceal his delight.
Monarch Tongtian looked towards the five Imperial Tomb space-times, also revealing a somewhat solemn expression. "This old man has only broken through to Ancient Monarch not long ago. Originally, I wanted to continue seclusion to contemplate further, but at this time, I had no choice but to emerge. Otherwise, the most terrifying disaster would befall the mortal world."
Suddenly, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Senior, since you have emerged, has Patriarch Wushi also come?"
