The Ancient Domain of the Tenth Heaven was in great upheaval.
It was clear that today would witness the scene of a Primordial Sovereign being slaughtered.
Moreover, the one being slaughtered was the renowned Heng Gu Junwang, a Patriarch God from the Dark Blood Era of antiquity.
The Ancient Monarchs of the All Heavens were also powerless. That region was deep within the Ancient Domain of the Eighth Heaven, and they were all separated by a sufficiently vast distance.
Even if they intended to rush back, it would not be a matter of moments; it would require some time.
But precisely this time might already be enough for the Sun Sovereign to slay Heng Gu Junwang.
"Sun Sovereign!"
Immediately, three Ancient Monarchs who were relatively close by rushed over first, quickly entering the battlefield. They saw the Sun Sovereign pressing his advantage, tearing apart the other half of Heng Gu Junwang's body. The Sun God Bell, blazing like a scorching sun, directly blasted that Sovereign Heavenly Soul.
Boom—
Intense explosive fluctuations spread, terrifying beyond measure.
Heng Gu Junwang suffered devastating blows one after another. Not only was his physical body torn apart, but even his Sovereign Heavenly Soul could not escape calamity. He was truly terrified by the fearsomeness of the Sun Sovereign.
In such a short time, he had been forced into such a state. In the past, this would have been absolutely inconceivable.
Swoosh—
Heng Gu Junwang roared from the depths of the Star Sky. Age Power boiled as he desperately tried to reassemble his physical body. Boundless bloody light reversed its flow, beginning the process of physical reconstruction.
The Sun Sovereign intended to attack again, but at this moment, the three Ancient Monarchs had already entered the battlefield, appearing before Heng Gu Junwang. They manifested majestic Sovereign Dharma Forms, blocking the Sun Sovereign, and said solemnly, "Sun Sovereign, we ask you to show mercy. Please do not kill him."
The Sun Sovereign's expression darkened. He coldly watched the three Ancient Monarchs, his Sovereign Heavenly Might growing increasingly intense, as if intent on annihilating everything. His killing intent was boundless as he said indifferently, "Do you also wish to oppose me?"
Feeling the forcefulness in the Sun Sovereign's words, the three Ancient Monarchs immediately changed color, cold sweat breaking out. They dared not engage this god of slaughter in battle and hurriedly said, "Sun Sovereign, you misunderstand. We have only come to mediate."
The Sun Sovereign took a step forward, charging directly toward Heng Gu Junwang. Just as the three Ancient Monarchs were about to stop him, a single sentence from the former drifted out, throwing them all into a panic. They heard him say: "You can play the peacemakers if you wish, but I have only one decision: Fight!"
As the final word "Fight!" fell, boundless killing intent instantly erupted, making the three Ancient Monarchs feel their entire bodies turn cold.
They all knew the Sun Sovereign had stirred his most terrifying killing intent. If they tried to stop him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Swoosh—
The Sun Sovereign passed by them just like that, forceful and domineering, arriving before Heng Gu Junwang. He continued his assault, blasting him away. The half-reassembled physical body was once again left tattered and broken.
"Ah—"
Heng Gu Junwang roared in fury, no longer willing to endure this. His entire being erupted with boundless radiance, and his Age Power suddenly surged by a large margin.
Behind him, the faint illusion of a mysterious and ancient primordial beast manifested. Its entire body was interwoven with time secret patterns, very peculiar—like a dragon, like a tiger, yet neither.
Just as this primordial beast illusion manifested, the Age Power instantly increased by a large margin.
Heng Gu Junwang's physical body reassembled at an astonishing, lightning-fast speed. Standing in the depths of the Star Sky, the moment he opened his eyes, the ancient beast behind him also opened its eyes, emanating a sinister aura that seemed to reverse the flow of time.
Both the three Ancient Monarchs on the battlefield and the other Ancient Monarchs rushing over were startled: "Age Heavenly Beast!"
The Age Heavenly Beast was an extremely ancient Heaven Beast, similar to a Chaos Holy Spirit but with some differences. Overall, it was slightly inferior to primal holy spirits like Chaos Holy Spirits, which are born from chaos after hundreds of thousands or millions of years of gestation, but it was still extremely fearsome. It innately possessed Age Power.
"No wonder Heng Gu Junwang could master the heaven-defying Great Dao of Age. So his true form is actually the legendary Age Heavenly Beast."
An Ancient Monarch sighed. The Great Dao of Age was a heaven-defying Great Dao on par with the Great Dao of Space-Time. Among the myriad Great Daos of the All Heavens, only a handful could be mentioned in the same breath. Only the most supreme Great Daos like the Great Dao of Chaos could transcend them.
Since Heng Gu Junwang's true form was the Age Heavenly Beast, it was only natural that he was so proficient in the Great Dao of Age.
"I never expected your true form to be an Age Heavenly Beast."
The Sun Sovereign was also slightly surprised.
Heng Gu Junwang's true form, the Age Heavenly Beast, looked down from a high position, gazing down at the Sun Sovereign, and said coldly, "Sun Sovereign, originally, this Sovereign was unwilling to expose this. But since you insist on pursuing and killing this Sovereign, do not blame this Sovereign for being ruthless."
Boom—
Instantly, the Age Power within this stretch of heaven and earth fiercely boiled, increasing by who knows how much.
Faintly, a vast and boundless long river seemed about to manifest—it was none other than the River of Time.
Although it ultimately failed to truly manifest, only leaving behind an illusory projection, even this was still astonishing.
Because only supreme beings like Emperors or Peerless Immortals could summon the River of Time. The fact that Heng Gu Junwang could summon a projection was enough to demonstrate his heaven-defying nature.
"Sun Sovereign, since you have forced this Sovereign to this step, compelling this Sovereign to reveal my true form, this Sovereign holds you in considerable esteem. To show my respect for you, I shall use this move to kill you!"
Heng Gu Junwang's true self merged with the illusory Age Heavenly Beast. At this moment, he seemed to have transcended. A lofty voice suddenly reverberated throughout the world—
"Age is Like a Blade—"
Whoosh—
The illusory River of Time fiercely broke through the void and appeared. In an instant, boundless Age Power surged and boiled, spanning the All Heavens, transforming into an unparalleled Heaven-Slashing Blade that pierced through the two farthest directions, hovering overhead.
Age Power overflowed, capable of utterly rotting everything away.
"Slay the Heaven's Pride!"
With the final three words shouted, the Age Heavenly Blade, purely formed from the River of Time projection, suddenly descended from the sky, fiercely slashing toward the Sun Sovereign below, who blazed like the sun.
This was a River of Time projection. Even though it was not real, it was still world-shaking, for the Heavenly Blade it condensed was terrifying beyond measure, sweeping with infinite Age Power, far surpassing all the divine abilities Heng Gu Junwang had previously displayed.
Seeing this move, all the Ancient Monarchs of the All Heavens showed expressions of irrepressible shock on their faces.
Because they all clearly sensed from this move, "Age is Like a Blade, Slay the Heaven's Pride," the extremely fearsome ability of time's passage. If it struck any one of them, they felt it could cause an Ancient Monarch to turn to dust, utterly rot and annihilate within the flow of time, completely extinguished.
This was the most terrifying strike.
