Ye Chen was shaken, awed by the Sovereign of Formlessness's grand ambition.
Ever since arriving in the Mythical Emperor Domain, he had sensed the domain's deep apprehension towards that mysterious, vast Uninhabited Zone. The human race had once ventured eight hundred thousand li deep, feeling a terrifying, looming crisis, and had not dared to press further.
Throughout these endless ages, the Mythical Emperor Domain had always confined itself to the central region, never expanding outwards. On the contrary, it had erected towering city walls that encircled the entire domain. This was true even with the Ten Great Empires and their Sovereign progenitors present.
The mysterious, vast Uninhabited Zone likely concealed immense, unknown secrets of great importance.
However, even if the Sovereign of Formlessness was not yet a true Emperor, he possessed combat power comparable to a Supreme One. With such might, where in this vast world could he not go?
No matter how mysterious and terrifying this vast Uninhabited Zone was, it probably could not halt his steps.
That night, the entire Mythical Emperor Domain was already boiling over, the world in an uproar, with all eyes fixed on the grand feast the human race was about to host in the Xialuo Empire.
The human race of this era, leading the various Heavenly Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and powerhouses from the major forces of the Mythical Emperor Domain, had returned. They intended to hold a feast in the Xialuo Imperial Capital, hoping to join forces with the Sovereign progenitors of the Ten Great Empires to deal with the alien race. This was undoubtedly a top-tier world-shaking event, with nothing else comparable.
"Heh, the human race's ambition is truly not small, actually wanting to unite the strength of our entire Mythical Emperor Domain's forces to resist the alien race. But I'm afraid they've miscalculated. Would our Mythical Emperor Domain easily comply with their wishes?"
Among the world's powers, not everyone was willing to see the human race succeed in uniting the forces of the Mythical Emperor Domain.
As the saying goes, a single move affects the whole situation. To do so would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the alien race.
Countless forces within the Mythical Emperor Domain were well aware of the alien race's strength. Back then, eight Ancient Monarchs from the alien race had crossed realms to receive those alien powerhouses who had entered the Mythological Relic, thoroughly intimidating the entire Mythical Emperor Domain. Even the Ten Great Empires were quite wary.
Now, who would be willing to stand against the alien race for the sake of the human race?
"Indeed, they've miscalculated this game. Among the Ten Great Empires of the Mythical Emperor Domain, which empire does not possess a Sovereign progenitor, reigning supreme over the world? No matter how strong the human race is, they only have so-called Saint Sovereigns and a newly-advanced Ancient Monarch. Even if they are stronger than other Ancient Monarchs, it's not enough. Moreover, the human race in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain is being comprehensively suppressed and hunted by the alien race, on the verge of extermination. Instead of rushing back to aid them at this time, they're thinking of mobilizing the power of the Ten Great Empires. It's simply wishful thinking!"
"Heh, now let's see what these human remnants returning from the Mythological Relic have to say. Although they should be quite strong, no matter how strong, if they don't become Ancient Monarchs, they are still just ants."
"If the human race doesn't give a good explanation then, these empire Sovereign progenitors are no pushovers. They might take the opportunity to squeeze them dry. That would be the beginning of tragedy."
"But didn't we hear the human race has a true Supreme One?"
"A Supreme One? Don't joke around. That might fool ordinary people. If the human race truly possessed a Supreme One, why would they need the strength of our Mythical Emperor Domain? A single Supreme One could sweep through all the alien races!"
The world was abuzz with discussion, all talking about this matter, speculating about the final outcome of this feast.
But over ninety-nine percent of people believed the human race could not truly gather the power of the Ten Great Empires of the Mythical Emperor Domain to go together to the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain to deal with the alien race.
As long as the Sovereign progenitors of the Ten Great Empires weren't fools, they wouldn't actively provoke the alien race, that colossal behemoth.
Moreover, many felt the human race's actions were foolish. Among the Ten Great Empires, aside from the Xialuo Empire having some ties with the human race, the other Mythical Empires would not let this go so easily. They might take advantage of the situation to plunder, which would absolutely be adding insult to injury for the current human race.
As for the human race having a peerless Supreme One, most considered it impossible.
The various voices from the outside world were naturally known to the human powerhouses within the Xialuo Imperial Capital. Many talents were furious, wanting to rush out and refute them, daring to question the human race.
But they were all stopped. The Imperial Sons and Daughters, the strongest young Supreme Ones, and the older generation Divine Kings remained calm and composed, methodically preparing for tomorrow's feast.
This stemmed from confidence in their own strength. More importantly, the human race truly did possess a Supreme One—the Sovereign of Formlessness was right here.
By tomorrow, the Mythical Emperor Domain would naturally learn whether the human race was deceiving them or truly had such confidence.
The next morning, as the rising sun climbed, the Nine Great Empires set out.
Boom! Rumble!
Above the imperial capitals of each Mythical Empire, numerous divine ships appeared one after another. Each one was massive and magnificent, blotting out the sky, covered with densely interwoven Dao patterns that shimmered with light.
The leading divine ship in each fleet was especially grand, stretching ten thousand li long, majestic and vast like a divine city. Followed by numerous other divine ships, they set off from the various imperial capitals in mighty processions.
Their speed was extremely fast. In less than half a day, they traversed the vast expanse of the Mythical Emperor Domain, traveling from the central imperial capitals of the other Nine Great Empires to arrive at the imperial capital city of the Xialuo Empire. Dense clusters of divine ships spanned the heavens, blotting out the sun and turning day into night.
The world was astonished. Such a scene was rare in this era.
Nine Great Empires coming to court—how many throughout history had ever witnessed such a sight?
However, some major power figures inwardly sneered. While it appeared the Nine Great Empires had come from afar to pay court, this display of numerous divine ships was also a form of intimidation, a show of force to let the human race know, demonstrating the profound heritage and terrifying power of the Nine Great Empires. It was meant to make the human race think twice even if they wanted to rally these Mythical Empires.
Within the heavenly palace divine hall of the Xialuo Imperial Capital, the Xialuo Monarch's gaze swept over the numerous divine ships of the Nine Great Empires, a cold light flickering in his eyes. He respectfully addressed the Sovereign of Formlessness: "Great Emperor, do you need me to take action and teach these blind fools a lesson?"
In the Xialuo Monarch's eyes, with a Supreme One present, even Ancient Monarchs should bow their heads in submission. Daring to come and show off like this was clearly suicidal behavior.
The Sovereign of Formlessness shook his head: "No matter. It's of no consequence."
With these words, he continued to slightly close his eyes, his aura restrained, merging with heaven and earth. Even an existence like the Xialuo Monarch, an Ancient Monarch, would be unable to sense his presence with divine sense unless he saw the Sovereign of Formlessness's figure with his own eyes, which was somewhat shocking.
This was the capability of a Supreme One.
Although the Xialuo Imperial Capital had suffered severe damage a century ago, a hundred years had passed, and with the Xialuo Monarch still present, the destroyed capital had been rebuilt. It still appeared grand and imposing. Numerous empire powerhouses personally welcomed the arrival of the Nine Great Empires' forces, including the new empire ruler.
Boom!
From the central divine ships of the Nine Great Empires, human-shaped balls of light emerged one after another. Even though their auras were restrained, strands of peerless heavenly might naturally emanated, causing countless people within the Xialuo Imperial Capital to kneel and bow in submission.
