"The Mythical Ruins Land?"
The nine Sovereign Ancestors all exchanged glances. The Capricorn Sovereign even said, "Impossible. The alien race has already seized all the great opportunities within the Mythical Ruins Land. What could possibly remain there to tempt them?"
"The Chaos Saint Realm!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body stated directly.
At this, the nine Sovereign Ancestors all understood. Naturally, they had all heard of the Chaos Saint Realm, but they just gave cold smiles. "The Chaos Saint Realm is merely something held by your human race, with some Chaos Heavenly Mansion left to guard it. Even if the alien race makes a move, let them. Our Mythical Emperor Domain will allow them to enter and search for the Chaos Saint Realm. Why would they become enemies with our Mythical Emperor Domain?"
"So, you're saying you want our Mythical Emperor Domain to help your human race protect the Chaos Saint Realm from being seized by the alien race?" The nine Sovereign Ancestors sneered repeatedly.
Except for those who had returned from the Mythical Ruins Land, many powerful figures of the Mythical Emperor Domain shook their heads. The human race was truly wishful thinking. The Chaos Saint Realm belonged to the humans, not the Mythical Emperor Domain. Did they truly believe the Mythical Emperor Domain would help the humans guard this super realm?
Although they had all heard that the Chaos Saint Realm was formed from the fusion of the five Ancient Sovereigns' origin sovereign realms, even the human race's Supreme Ones didn't believe it, let alone the authenticity of the origin sovereign realms. At most, they considered it a fusion of Sovereigns' origin worlds. They were somewhat tempted but wouldn't go crazy over it.
At this moment, the Tongtian Sovereign spoke, his voice grave. "The Chaos Saint Realm may belong to our human race, but you should also know that behind the Chaos Saint Realm lies the most terrifying forbidden land in the Chaos Sea—the Chaos Burial Ground!"
Mentioning the Chaos Burial Ground caused the various imperial clans, immortal clans, and God-Slaying Army within the Heavenly Palace's divine hall, including the other returned powerful figures of the Mythical Emperor Domain, to change expressions. Clearly, they harbored lingering fear and trepidation towards this forbidden land.
That was truly the most terrifying burial ground. Back then, if not for the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, the Worldless Emperor Lord, the Formless Sovereign, the Golden Crow Great Emperor, and the Chaos Emperor who came from the blood-stained future, the Chaos Burial Ground would have long been unsealed, and they might not have been able to return.
"The Chaos Burial Ground!" The nine Sovereign Ancestors were all startled.
"Correct. The Chaos Burial Ground lies behind the Chaos Saint Realm. If the alien race gains control of the Chaos Saint Realm, they could potentially open the Chaos Burial Ground as well," the Tongtian Sovereign said solemnly. "In the entire Chaos Sea, if we consider which Chaos Ancient Universes can resist the Chaos Burial Ground, only the Primordial Immortal World and the alien race's Ancient Universe possess truly supreme emperors or immortal kings—invincible beings in the Chaos Sea—and not just one."
"The alien race is also the terrifying Ancient Universe that prematurely ended the Mythical Era, plunging the Sealed Universe into great destruction. Its threat is absolutely no less than the Chaos Burial Ground, and it might even attempt to open the Chaos Burial Ground. Back then, the alien race's Ancient Nether Great Emperor once descended with an emperor's will, most likely for the Chaos Burial Ground."
"Once the Chaos Burial Ground is unsealed, the Chaos Saint Realm will bear the brunt. However, through the old Origin Ancient Path, one could also reach the Mythical Ruins Land and naturally locate the Mythical Emperor Domain. This poses a tremendous threat to the very survival of the entire Mythical Emperor Domain."
Without a doubt, if one didn't think deeply, they would never realize the Mythical Emperor Domain also faced the threat of the Chaos Burial Ground. Given the alien race's nature, they might very well join forces with the Chaos Burial Ground.
Back then, the Ancient Nether Great Emperor's emperor will did manifest and head towards the Emperor Burial Abyss, only to be blocked.
"Hah, the Chaos Burial Ground might be terrifying, but how could there be so-called Sovereign Dao Supreme Ones, let alone Heavenly Sovereigns? This is merely a lie fabricated by your human race using mystical methods," the Xushi Sovereign sneered, refusing to believe any of it.
Another Sovereign Ancestor, the Putian Sovereign, also nodded. "Supreme Ones of the present age cannot be found. No matter how terrifying the Chaos Burial Ground is, it likely only possesses several powerful Ancient Monarchs, perhaps even an Emperor Lord. As for Sovereigns, Heavenly Sovereigns, and those Supreme Ones, they are utterly unfindable in this vast world. Your human race had best not deceive us on this point."
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and the Tongtian Sovereign exchanged a glance, both frowning slightly. They hadn't expected the nine Sovereign Ancestors to still not fully believe these matters even now.
On the side, the Xialuo Sovereign also sighed softly. If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they probably wouldn't have believed it either, because it was all truly too astonishing.
"What if Supreme Ones truly exist?"
Just as the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body frowned and was about to speak, a hearty voice rang out, drawing the attention of all parties. A burly figure, a full fifteen feet tall and as imposing as a small mountain, appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace's divine hall.
"Who are you?"
The Capricorn Sovereign looked over coldly.
"Worldless!" The burly man announced his title. It was none other than the Worldless Emperor Lord. He strode forward. Although his aura was restrained, the nine Sovereign Ancestors distinctly sensed faint threads of dangerous intent emanating from him.
This kind of dangerous feeling usually only appeared when facing an Ancient Monarch of the same level.
Yet, they couldn't sense true power from the Worldless Emperor Lord before them, only that faint, flickering sense of danger.
Soon, the Worldless Emperor Lord arrived at the leftmost Void Divine Throne and sat down.
"You are the Worldless Emperor Lord?"
The nine Sovereign Ancestors frowned. Although the newcomer was extraordinary, apart from that dangerous aura, they didn't feel he was particularly powerful, let alone the so-called Emperor Lord being very likely.
"Yes, others address me as the Worldless Emperor Lord!"
Boom—
As his words fell, the Worldless Emperor Lord no longer restrained his aura. It was as if a dragon that had slumbered for several eras was awakening. An unparalleled pressure radiated from him, instantly making the entire Void Divine Hall feel as if all air had been sucked out.
Within the Heavenly Palace's divine hall, whether they were from the nine empires or the Xialuo Empire, all powerful figures abruptly changed expressions at this moment. They felt a sense of insignificance, like ants gazing up at an unattainable, soaring true dragon in the ninth heaven.
Perhaps a mere glance from the other party would be enough to annihilate all their souls, leaving them utterly dead.
Not to mention others, even the nine Sovereign Ancestors felt a terrifying sense of suffocation at this moment. They looked at the Worldless Emperor Lord on the highest left side with horror and panic.
They clearly sensed that bone-chilling, terrifying aura from the Worldless Emperor Lord. It felt like when they were weak, still at the Demigod Realm, facing a lofty Divine King—the gap between them was immeasurably vast.
As different as clouds and mud!
Even when they subconsciously activated their Sovereign Heavenly Might, it was useless. It was firmly suppressed by this Emperor Lord's pressure, unable to operate effectively.
The other party was truly too powerful, absurdly powerful. Their first instinct was an impulse to flee skyward.
Swish—
This Emperor Lord Heavenly Might came quickly and vanished even faster, in just an instant. It was restrained, completely disappearing as if it had never appeared.
But the nine Sovereign Ancestors could not forget that terrifying feeling. They were frightened and awed.
Emperor Lord!
A true, peerless Emperor Lord!
At this moment, the nine Sovereign Ancestors were truly awakened, filled with terror.
They had originally thought all this was merely fabricated by the human race to deceive them, these Sovereign Ancestors, to intimidate them and borrow their power to jointly deal with the alien race. But facing it directly, they now understood—that was a genuine Emperor Lord, a legendary existence in the realm between Emperor and Sovereign, a peerless being with one foot already in the Emperor Supreme level.
Like a Half-Step Divine King to a Great Power!
The human race truly possessed such an Emperor Lord!
The nine Sovereign Ancestors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with trepidation, dread, and even more bitterness.
Just moments ago, they were contemplating taking the opportunity to extort something from the human race. Now, they were immediately slapped in the face. A true Emperor Lord had appeared, standing at the pinnacle of the Sovereign realm, gazing towards the Supreme.
Such an Emperor Lord figure could be called a Quasi-Emperor, Quasi-Sovereign, Quasi-Immortal, Quasi-Supreme One.
However, upon closer thought, they felt even more horrified. If the human race truly possessed an Emperor Lord, perhaps they also truly possessed a supreme Supreme One.
"He... he's really an Emperor Lord?!"
On the Xushi Empire's side, Empire Lord Xushi Thirteen's face was filled with as much terror as possible.
Not just him, even the other empire experts who had come with him were terrified and panicked. They could all sense that the aura from the Worldless Emperor Lord far surpassed that of their empire's Sovereign Ancestors, blazing and peerless.
Xushi Thirteen even believed that if the Worldless Emperor Lord willed it, attaching Emperor Lord killing intent to his pressure, he could likely annihilate a Divine King like him from afar without even moving, leaving nothing behind.
Xushia chuckled coldly. "I told you, but you didn't believe. Now do you believe?"
Xushi Thirteen and the others, along with the other important figures from the eight empires, all wore expressions of shock and bitterness, nodding helplessly. No matter what, they had to admit this point now.
Those who had wanted to see how the human race would be harassed by the nine Sovereign Ancestors were now all silenced!
The Worldless Emperor Lord sat upright on the leftmost Void Divine Throne, smiling faintly. "I heard you all didn't quite believe I am an Emperor Lord."
The nine Sovereign Ancestors' faces couldn't be more awkward. The Capricorn Sovereign hurriedly said, "Emperor Lord, you misunderstand. We were merely joking earlier."
The other eight Sovereign Ancestors gave awkward smiles.
Joking?
Below, the various powerful figures all wore complex expressions, sensing the terrifying aspect of the human race. Even the nine Sovereign Ancestors now acknowledged the other as a true Emperor Lord, representing the human race's supreme strength. Now, the thought wasn't how to pressure the human race, but how to resolve this misunderstanding with them.
After all, that was a peerless Emperor Lord, and there was still a supreme Supreme One who hadn't appeared. If they angered the human race, the consequences would be unimaginable, something even an Ancient Monarch could never bear.
"Hah, is that so."
The Worldless Emperor Lord chuckled, yet there was no trace of amusement in his eyes, making the nine Sovereign Ancestors' scalps tingle.
"What are you all joking about? Apologies, I'm a bit late."
Another voice rang out. It was the Formless Sovereign. He had arrived!
