There was actually a Supreme One among the human race?
This was absolutely a shocking piece of news.
Even Xushi Monarch, an ancient fossil who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, could not maintain his unperturbed state of mind. His face, concealed beneath Dao marks, revealed a grave expression—something extremely rare throughout the ages, all because this matter was too astonishing.
If the human race truly possessed a Supreme One, the situation between humans and the alien race would undergo a tremendous change. The human race would no longer be at a disadvantage; instead, with a Supreme One, they would possess unprecedented superiority.
As for how powerful a Supreme One truly was, perhaps only those below the Monarch rank had vague guesses, but Xushi Monarch was very clear.
Presently, Xushi Monarch spoke in a deep voice, "Xuchu, report to this Monarch in detail."
"Reporting to the Progenitor—"
The Great Power talent named Xuchu answered earnestly, recounting everything that had happened since entering the Mythical Ruins Land, including the battle against the Slaughtering Demon Emperor and the later terrifying battle that prevented the Chaos Burial Ground from emerging.
"Ancient Sovereign? Heavenly Sovereign?"
Even though Xushi Monarch was a Primordial Times Monarch, hearing those unknown, world-shaking secrets still shocked him. Along the way, not only had many Primordial Times Monarchs appeared, but there were also Monarchs, and even Sovereign-Emperor Supreme Ones.
Even from within the Chaos Burial Ground and from the Blood-Stained Future, the strongest Emperor Sovereigns—invincible beings of the Chaos Sea—had emerged. It could truly be called an event that shook the ages.
After a long silence, Xushi Monarch looked down upon the returning Empire's powerhouses, his gaze carrying a trace of the majesty of a Primordial Times Monarch, causing the void to collapse as he slowly said, "Are you certain everything is true?"
Great Power talent Xuchu bowed his head, struggling to steady his trembling body, and respectfully said, "Progenitor, please believe me. All of this is real. The powerhouses from the other eight Empires all know about it."
After a long while, the gaze carrying the heavenly might of a Monarch withdrew, and only then did Xuchu let out a sigh of relief.
Even though he had become a Great Power powerhouse, facing the Progenitor Monarch standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, he still seemed as weak and insignificant as an ant.
Yet, this only further ignited the fervor in his heart, hoping that one day he too could ascend to become a Primordial Times Monarch, a peerless overlord figure like Xushi Monarch, dominating the rise and fall of the world.
"Hmph, what Monarch, what Ancient Sovereign, what Heavenly Sovereign, Heavenly Emperor... they are probably just extremely powerful Primordial Times Monarchs. How could invincible beings of the Supreme One level appear so easily in this world?"
Although he had received Xuchu's confirmation, Xushi Monarch did not believe it. His gaze returned to its indifferent state.
Because all of this was too shocking and unbelievable. Supreme Ones were unfindable; they did not exist in the Mythical Emperor Domain, nor in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. How could such a peerless, invincible Supreme One from the ages appear in the desolate Mythical Ruins Land?
In his eyes, whether it was Xuchu or the others, their strength was ultimately too low to judge what a true Supreme One was. They might have encountered a Primordial Times Monarch even stronger than him, Xushi Monarch, but mistakenly believed it to be a Supreme One.
Moreover, if the human race possessed a Supreme One, why would they need the strength of the Ten Great Empires of the Mythical Emperor Domain? A single Supreme One alone would be enough to sweep away all alien race powerhouses like crumbling deadwood; even alien race Primordial Times Monarchs would be nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs in the eyes of a Supreme One.
Soon, Xushi Monarch formed his own judgment.
The human race did not possess a true Supreme One!
Below, the Empire's Divine Kings and other returning talents all sighed. They knew the Progenitor would not believe it. In fact, if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it either.
Because all of this was ultimately too shocking and unbelievable. How could a Supreme One just appear out of nowhere? Let alone the even more terrifying Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Blood-Stained Future Chaos Heavenly Emperor who had returned by treading against the River of Time.
In the end, they did not continue to explain further. Otherwise, it would only make Xushi Monarch feel that his supreme majesty was being challenged, leading to his wrath.
However, when they went to Xialuo Imperial Capital tomorrow and truly faced the Worldless Emperor Lord and the Sovereign of Formlessness, the truth and falsehood of all this would be resolved.
Seeing the expressions of the powerhouses who had returned from the Mythical Ruins Land, Xushi Monarch offered no explanation. His gaze looked into the distance, toward that vast, endless No-Man's Land, and he sneered coldly, "The human race truly has good methods. They think fabricating a Supreme One to deceive these youngsters can also deceive this Monarch? Unfortunately, this Monarch hasn't lived all these tens of thousands of years for nothing."
"Besides, even if the human race truly possessed such a peerless Supreme One, so what? If they truly force our Mythical Emperor Domain to serve them, we can only reluctantly allow the terror deep within the vast No-Man's Land to emerge."
Thinking of the terror deep within the vast No-Man's Land, even Xushi Monarch, a Primordial Times Monarch who had shaken the Mythical Emperor Domain for endless years, revealed deep apprehension—something unprecedented.
That was the absolute forbidden zone of the entire Mythical Emperor Domain. Ordinary people, even Divine Kings, did not know much about what existed deep within the vast No-Man's Land. But the Monarchs of the various Empires were well aware of the great terror there. It was something that had once brought great disaster upon the entire Mythical Emperor Domain. In the past, imperial heritage forces no inferior to the current Ten Great Empires had been utterly annihilated because of it, and Primordial Times Monarchs had met the same fate.
Only those who had lived long enough knew of the place of great terror.
At the same time, the Progenitor Monarchs of the other eight Empires learned through their returning powerhouses about the shocking events of the Mythical Ruins Land, the Ancient Path of Old Origins, the Emperor Battle Domain, the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and more. Yet, they all successively showed disbelief.
Especially regarding the existence of a Supreme One among the human race, they found it even more unbelievable.
All because this was too inconceivable. Moreover, upon their return, apart from sensing the powerful auras of the Saint Monarch Ruler and the Tongtian Monarch, they had not felt the so-called auras of the Sovereign of Formlessness or the Worldless Emperor Lord. Thus, they became increasingly convinced that this was a deliberate tactic by the human race, hoping to intimidate the Mythical Emperor Domain and mobilize the strength of its Ten Great Empires, uniting them to deal with the alien race.
"Hmph, Emperor Lord? Monarch of Monarchs? If the human race truly had a Supreme One, would they need to borrow the strength of our Mythical Emperor Domain? Clearly, this is falsification, an attempt to borrow prestige from a tiger's might to make our Ten Great Empires submit. Unfortunately, they've miscalculated."
"Well then, whatever tricks they want to play, we'll see tomorrow!"
Although they all believed it impossible for the human race to possess a Supreme One, the Progenitor Monarchs of the Nine Great Empires successively decided to go to Xialuo Imperial Capital tomorrow. They all wanted to see what tricks this so-called Saint Monarch Ruler of the human race was playing.
If they truly wanted them to unconditionally deal with the alien race, they would not easily agree. Moreover, they would make the human race pay a price, making them understand that the Mythical Emperor Domain was not to be bullied.
Xialuo Imperial Capital.
Only a few people were in the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall: Ye Chen, the Great Emperor's reincarnation body, Tongtian Monarch, Xialuo Monarch, the Sovereign of Formlessness, and the Worldless Emperor Lord.
Facing the Sovereign of Formlessness and the Worldless Emperor Lord, Xialuo Monarch showed a trace of reverence and shock, because he had never expected that there would still be such Supreme Ones in the present era. If he hadn't faced them personally, he would probably be like the other nine Empire Progenitor Monarchs and not believe it.
Supreme Ones were unfindable; they hadn't appeared for how many tens of thousands of years.
The Sovereign of Formlessness smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be reserved. You are an ally of our human race. Thank you for supporting our human race back then."
"Great Emperor, you jest. The human race did not participate in the siege against me back then, and Young Friend Ye also has some connection with me." Xialuo Monarch still felt somewhat restrained. After all, this was a Supreme One, respectfully addressed as Great Emperor, and his tone carried respect—something unimaginable in the past.
The Sovereign of Formlessness shook his head but did not correct him.
At this level of cultivation, peerless and unmatched, no matter how gentle one was, outsiders would still feel reverence. This was an instinctive awe towards the strong.
In the majestic and imposing hall, Ye Chen stood respectfully behind the Sovereign of Formlessness and the Worldless Emperor Lord, with a trace of confusion in his expression, and said, "Two Ancestral Masters, why didn't you directly display your strength today? Although the Great Emperor's reincarnation body is very powerful, the other nine Empire Progenitor Monarchs might not necessarily take it seriously. Moreover, they are suspicious of the words of the returning powerhouses."
The Sovereign of Formlessness stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the several bright moons hanging in the night sky, and said with a faint smile, "I was afraid of scaring them into not daring to come. It's better to hide it for now."
Ye Chen understood the reasoning. True strength would only be believed when faced directly. Otherwise, even if the Sovereign of Formlessness and the Worldless Emperor Lord had intentionally released their auras at the time, they would have been mistaken for using Supreme Emperor Weapons. There would be apprehension but no belief, and they would also think the human race was threatening them and not go. That would instead put them at a disadvantage.
"Moreover, I want to understand some of the secrets of this Mythical Emperor Domain. Why are the beings descending from the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain called sin beings? Why is there that vast No-Man's Land, and why does there seem to be considerable apprehension towards it? Why are ten Monarch Halls needed to summon the mysterious Ancient Emperor Hall? Why can one enter the Mythical Ruins Land?"
"All of this requires answers. I hope to get some answers."
The Sovereign of Formlessness spoke, his gaze profound as he looked into the distance at the vast No-Man's Land that appeared deep and mysterious under the night sky, carrying the wise light that could see through all things in the world.
Beside him, Xialuo Monarch sighed softly, "Supreme One, I don't know either. Although I am the Primordial Times Monarch of the Xialuo Empire, I am not the first-generation Progenitor Monarch. Some matters are very mysterious. The Progenitor Monarch of that time hadn't had time to tell me before he passed away. After refining all the Dao fruits of the previous Progenitor Monarch, I cultivated for thirty thousand years before becoming a new Primordial Times Monarch. Looking at the Ten Great Progenitor Monarchs of the Mythical Emperor Domain, I am considered the youngest one."
Although he was the youngest, those who could become Primordial Times Monarchs had all spent endless years to advance. Xialuo Monarch appeared as a purple-haired youth, very young, but in reality, his age had long surpassed a hundred thousand years.
"However, the other nine Empire Progenitor Monarchs have all lived for over a million years. Some have even lived for half an epoch. Truly old but not dead, they know many shocking, unknown mysteries of the Mythical Emperor Domain throughout the ages. Perhaps they know more clearly." Xialuo Monarch added.
"In that case, their arrival is even more worth anticipating." The Sovereign of Formlessness smiled faintly.
"Of course, if I can't get it from their mouths, I can only personally enter the deepest part of the vast No-Man's Land to search for it myself."
"I have a feeling that the deepest part of the vast No-Man's Land seems to hide a heaven-shaking terror, perhaps also related to him."
