The entire hall was shaken with astonishment!
Monarch Wushi said indifferently, "My master is hailed as the King of Kings. You can ask the alien race what kind of existence my master, the Sovereign of Formlessness, is. Hah, back in the Mythical Era, in order to kill my master, the alien race went so far as to dispatch seven peerless Sovereigns and two Monarchs, combining the most terrifying ancient killing formation to set a trap and hunt him down. In the end, the result was still my master sweeping through them all alone, suppressing and killing everyone. It was only because a despicable Great Emperor of the alien race launched a sneak attack that my master perished. But now my master has revived and returned, stronger than ever before, and will naturally pacify the alien race."
Everyone listened, growing more and more shocked. The Sovereign of Formlessness seated at the central main seat was actually still that powerful, with such a glorious history. Even when the alien race mobilized two Monarchs and seven peerless Sovereigns to design a scheme to kill him, they were instead swept away and wiped out, forcing an ancient Great Emperor to strike when he was severely injured. It had to be said, it was truly astonishing.
Was this true?
"It is true. In the previous era, Sovereign of Formlessness was publicly acknowledged as the number one under the Great Emperors in the Chaos Sea, recognized by both the Primordial Immortal World and the alien Ancient Universe, among others," an old antique Divine King from the Immortal Clan spoke up, clearly from the Immortal King clan behind Chu Shenjun.
"Back then, the Heavenly Emperors and Supreme Immortals all acknowledged that Sovereign of Formlessness, though not a Supreme One, possessed the power to battle a Supreme One!" another Divine King from an imperial clan also spoke.
The forces of the Mythical Emperor Domain knew that these old-generation Divine Kings from the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans held high status within their respective races, understood many profound secrets, and given their positions, had no need to attach themselves to the human race. Their words carried great credibility.
But precisely because of this, it was even more shocking.
The Sovereign of Formlessness smiled lightly, as if it were nothing. "It's just a matter of the past, not worth mentioning."
The nine Monarch Progenitors all smiled bitterly. Such a 'not worth mentioning' matter was something that even ancient monarchs like them, who had lived for countless millennia, needed to look up to.
However, it also indirectly confirmed that he possessed Supreme-level strength.
With a human Supreme One present, even the nine Monarch Progenitors felt an unprecedented, immense pressure, more intense than when the eight Ancient Monarchs of the alien race had crossed realms to come.
Monarch Mo Jie's face turned extremely pale, because he had just offended a human Supreme One—an absolutely suicidal act. Fear arose in his heart, and he hurriedly spoke: "Supreme One, please forgive this junior's earlier discourtesy!"
Everyone sighed. This was the might of a Supreme One. Even without leaking the slightest trace of Supreme aura, merely sitting there could make even Ancient Monarchs feel fear.
"It's fine. It's normal for Fellow Daoists to have doubts."
Seated at the central main seat, the Sovereign of Formlessness was like an ordinary person, not leaking the slightest aura, perfect and unadorned. Yet, precisely because of this, everyone felt a spontaneous sense of reverence, for this was a true Supreme figure.
"Fellow Daoists, the main reason for inviting you all here previously was to gather you to deal with the alien race together. I wonder if you all are willing?"
The Sovereign of Formlessness spoke very calmly, as if stating a very simple matter. However, the nine Monarch Progenitors felt their scalps go numb. How could they dare refuse when a Supreme One spoke?
Among them, Monarch Xialuo was the first to speak: "Everyone, just now the Saint Monarch Master has already spoken of the threat of the alien race, possibly unsealing the Chaos Burial Ground. Our Mythical Emperor Domain will bear the brunt. Therefore, this malignant tumor of the alien race must be eradicated. My Xialuo Empire is willing to join the human side, to rid the people of this scourge!"
*Pah! You and the humans are practically inseparable already, and you still talk about 'ridding the people of a scourge'? How righteous you sound.*
The other nine Empire Progenitors secretly cursed in their hearts, yet could not suppress the bitterness within.
They knew matters concerning the human race having a Supreme One; those returning Empire Divine Kings and geniuses had mentioned it. They just hadn't believed it, thinking it was merely a deceptive tactic by the humans. They never expected it to actually be true.
Only the Xialuo Empire had consistently maintained good relations with the humans.
One could imagine that the Xialuo Empire, having befriended a human Supreme One, would surely rise greatly in the future.
But to have them help the humans resist the alien race for no reason at all—the alien race had an incredibly terrifying Chaos Ancient Universe behind it. In the future, they would likely stand on the opposite side. Even with the humans possessing a Supreme One, they were not entirely willing.
A Monarch Progenitor gritted his teeth and finally spoke up: "Supreme One, you also know the alien race has an entire Ancient Universe behind it. Although the alien race in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain lacks Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns, they likely possess supreme Emperor's weapons. If any alien escapes and uses a supreme Emperor's weapon, it would be a tremendous threat to our Mythical Emperor Domain as well."
The other eight Monarch Progenitors all looked at the Sovereign of Formlessness.
Ye Chen and the others sneered. How could they not understand the thoughts of these Monarch Progenitors? Mobilizing them was possible, but it would require paying some price.
The Sovereign of Formlessness pondered slightly. "Indeed, the alien race is a threat. To prevent any aliens from escaping, I thought to ask you all to help, responsible for sealing off and hunting down the aliens. But it seems it would make you expend effort for nothing. Alright then, you can propose a condition. If feasible, I will agree."
The nine Monarch Progenitors were overjoyed. A condition from a Supreme One was far more important than anything else—it was a favor from a Supreme One.
"Master!" Monarch Wushi called out, his gaze sweeping over the nine Monarch Progenitors with an emotionless chill, making them feel as if sitting on pins and needles. Only then did they remember that daring to make demands of a Supreme One was an act of extreme recklessness!
Moreover, the other's disciple was a Monarch of his generation, enough to sweep them all away.
Thinking of this, the nine Monarch Progenitors all spoke up one after another: "Supreme One, please don't misunderstand. We are all very willing to assist the human race in surrounding and suppressing the alien race."
The Sovereign of Formlessness shook his head. "Since you are willing to help my human race eradicate the alien race, I will naturally compensate you."
Although these Monarch Progenitors wouldn't need to take action during the real battle, they would be needed during the sealing-off phase. The Sovereign of Formlessness did not want any mishaps and was willing to pay some price to make these Monarch Progenitors more dedicated!
"Thank you, Supreme One!"
The nine Monarch Progenitors were delighted. When a Supreme One spoke, their word was law; they would naturally not break their promise.
The Sovereign of Formlessness said, "You can propose whatever condition you want. If permissible, I will agree."
The implication was, as long as it wasn't too excessive.
The nine Monarch Progenitors suppressed the excitement in their hearts and cupped their fists towards the Sovereign of Formlessness: "Supreme One, please allow us to return and discuss it."
"Agreed!"
The Sovereign of Formlessness nodded, then immediately changed the subject, asking about some key issues, even important profound secrets: "Since everyone is present today, I will ask one thing. The vast No-Man's Land—it seems to be a forbidden zone, as if containing great terror. Could you all explain a bit?"
Hearing this, the nine Monarch Progenitors abruptly changed color. Deep within their eyes, several traces of fear appeared, as if facing something they had only experienced before the Sovereign of Formlessness.
