Within the Emperor World where the Qin imperial clan resided, on this day, a vast and immeasurable pressure slowly began to permeate, reaching even the other Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains. The boundless Supreme Emperor's might caused the stars of all heavens to dim in an instant.
Ancient Monarchs from one Emperor World after another were startled, their gazes piercing through the void towards the direction of the Eighth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.
Yet, alongside reverence, their expressions held a trace of complexity, almost as if tinged with a peculiar sense of schadenfreude.
However, the experts of the Immortal Clan, especially the Ancient Monarchs, revealed solemn expressions.
"It's not strange for the alien races to strike at the Sealed Boundary Universe, but to dare send a Supreme One of the ancient Great Emperor level... last time it was merely a projection of an ancient Emperor," one Immortal Clan Ancient Monarch spoke, frowning. It wasn't just a matter of daring to attack the Sealed Boundary Universe; the matters behind it were far more complex.
The Immortal Clan Ancient Monarch where Chu Shenjun resided also frowned. "For the alien race's ancient universe to mobilize an ancient Great Emperor like this blatantly disregards the agreement from the end of the last epoch. Do they truly intend to challenge the dignity of our Primordial Immortal World?"
"Let's wait and see the news. With the alien race's ancient universe acting so recklessly, the giants of our Primordial Immortal World will surely not stand idly by," another Immortal Clan Ancient Monarch added.
"But what's more important now is to see if the Sealed Boundary Universe can withstand this great calamity, and the current generation of the human race!"
All the Ancient Monarchs of the heavens were closely watching the movements of the human race.
Their homeland, the Sealed Boundary Universe, was in peril, suffering invasion from alien races. How could they possibly stand by and do nothing?
Boom—
From this day onward, aside from the fallen Sovereign of the Xiao family, the other eight Ancient Monarchs from the human race's nine great imperial clans, along with the Sovereign of Tongtian, journeyed from afar. They arrived at the Emperor World of the Qin imperial clan at the first opportunity, entering the lofty Imperial Hall to pay homage to the Sovereign of Formlessness who reigned supreme over the world.
"The human race's Ancient Monarchs have moved. It seems they've truly received the corresponding news."
The outside world, whether imperial clans, Immortal Clans, or royal clans, were all closely monitoring. Unfortunately, the human race's most peak-level Ancient Monarchs were all within the Qin family's imperial clan's ancient world—a flawless Emperor World, further guarded by the Supreme Sovereign of Formlessness. Even Ancient Monarchs dared not enter.
Nevertheless, whether from imperial clans, Immortal Clans, or the Ancient Monarchs originally existing within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, all pierced the infinite void with their gazes, looking towards the Qin family's Emperor World, closely observing everything.
Within the Imperial Hall, the Sovereign of Formlessness sat upon the emperor's throne. All Supreme Emperor's might was withdrawn, making him appear like an ordinary person.
On both sides, rows of Void Divine Seats were arranged. The human race's Ancient Monarchs all sat upright upon these Void Divine Seats.
However, including the ten Sovereigns under the Sovereign of Wushi, none could remain calm. Each wore an expression of unparalleled gravity, a sight rarely seen throughout the ages.
For the human race had encountered a disaster—more precisely, the Sealed Boundary Universe had encountered a disaster. Moreover, it was the most shocking, monumental event since the beginning of this epoch.
The Imperial Hall was deathly silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was oppressively heavy; even a Divine King entering would find it difficult to breathe.
Only after a long while did the Sovereign of Formlessness on the main seat slowly open his eyes, which appeared unfathomably deep. His tone carried a rare hint of weariness: "It is confirmed."
These three simple words struck the hearts of the human race's Ancient Monarchs present like the fall of an ancient Emperor. Even though they had already known, at this moment, a trace of pallor still surfaced on their faces.
One white-haired human Sovereign couldn't help but lament sorrowfully, "Our human race has only just ushered in a golden age within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, having eradicated all alien races from this world. Yet now we face such a crisis. Is Heaven truly determined to destroy our human race?"
Indeed, how powerful and peerless the human race within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was now! The Sovereign of Formlessness stood alone, supreme, with all races bowing their heads. It was a glorious era; ninety-nine percent of the alien races had been annihilated, with only a handful managing to escape with the help of the five alien Emperors.
It was almost foreseeable that in the future, the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain would be the human race's golden age. With the passage of time, they would grow increasingly powerful, becoming a formidable pillar for the future Sealed Boundary Universe.
Yet, how much time had passed? Only a dozen or so years, and the Sealed Boundary Universe now faced such an unprecedented catastrophe.
The alien races had breached the pass. The eternally indestructible Tenth Emperor's Pass had directly collapsed. Billions of troops marched straight in—a force far more terrifying than the tens of millions of fierce soldiers that had besieged the human race's fortress over a decade ago.
Led by an alien race's ancient Great Emperor, the Sealed Boundary Universe could be said to be in peril.
Especially in the current era, with no other Emperors in the Sealed Boundary Universe, only one contemporary Supreme Human Sovereign—how could they possibly resist?
The Ancient Monarch of the Angel Imperial Clan spoke in a low voice, "The alien races have mobilized an ancient Great Emperor—the Dark Heaven Great Emperor. Moreover, it seems there are three mysterious Emperor-level existences who crossed the River of Time, disregarding the immense cost of reversing space-time to strike. Otherwise, how could our Sealed Boundary Universe's Tenth Emperor's Pass have been breached!"
The Tenth Emperor's Pass was jointly established by several ancient Great Emperors at the end of the Mythical Era, incredibly stable. Even if one ancient Great Emperor arrived wielding a Supreme imperial weapon, the Sealed Boundary Universe would have nothing to fear. But with several Emperor-level Supreme Ones coming, it was a different matter entirely—the consequences were far more severe than imagined.
In fact, the Tenth Emperor's Pass was breached precisely due to the combined efforts of these several Emperor-level Supreme Ones.
Yet, the Ancient Monarch of the Xia family couldn't help but say, "One point is puzzling. Although the alien races mobilized four ancient Great Emperors to strike, the Tenth Emperor's Pass was suppressed by the contemporary Human Sovereign's Human Sovereign Tower. Moreover, the Tenth Emperor's Pass was personally built by the Mythical Emperors. Within the pass, the space-time Emperor's imperial weapon, the World Tower, also provided empowerment. Even for a Great Emperor, breaching it would be extremely difficult. Especially since the other three ancient Great Emperors came from the River of Time—they are not beings of this era's space-time. Even if they strike, they would face great limitations. Under such circumstances, even if the alien races' four ancient Great Emperors came at their peak, it's not certain they could breach it."
Similarly, this point also puzzled all the human race Ancient Monarchs present.
They were not Sovereigns like the Sovereign of Tongtian, native to the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, nor were they like the Sovereign of Wushi who left the Sealed Boundary Universe before the Tenth Emperor's Pass was built, or the fallen Sovereign of Formlessness. Before leaving the Sealed Boundary Universe for the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, they had personally visited the Tenth Emperor's Pass, understood much about it, and knew of its indestructible nature—it was one of the legendary Nine Indestructible Heavenly Passes.
More importantly, within the Tenth Emperor's Pass was the space-time Emperor's World Tower—the imperial weapon of the strongest Emperor who achieved the Dao through space-time, far superior to ordinary Supreme imperial weapons. Combined with the Human Sovereign Tower, they empowered the Tenth Emperor's Pass.
Furthermore, the world where the Tenth Emperor's Pass was located was itself an Emperor World.
With two Supreme Emperor Towers and one great Emperor World empowering this Indestructible Heavenly Pass, how stable it was! Unless the Sealed Boundary Universe side actively opened it, even if five ancient Great Emperors came, it was not certain they could breach it.
