At the same time, high above the earth.
A Quasi-Monarch hovered in the air, looking down from his lofty position as if he could see into the deepest depths of the earth, revealing a trace of astonishment: "In the deepest part of the earth, my divine sense swept over and detected something unusual. Although very faint, it is something not present elsewhere. Could it be that the Battle Saint King is deep within the earth?"
Buzz—
The supreme divine sense of the Quasi-Monarch swept over again and again, that strange sensation persistently present.
He could sense that in the deepest part of the earth, a full million li deep, there was indeed a faint, illusory aura rippling. Though extremely subtle, and one might easily miss it if not paying close attention.
Yet under the supreme divine sense of a Quasi-Monarch, it remained unhidden.
At this moment, the Quasi-Monarch revealed a sinister smile: "Battle Saint King, indeed, you are here. You've truly made us search hard."
Without another word, he took out a communication jade token and sent a message to the other Quasi-Monarchs.
As for himself, he stationed himself here, his divine sense spreading out overwhelmingly, constantly locking onto the deepest area below.
This time, no matter what, he could not allow the Battle Saint King to escape.
"It seems I've been discovered after all!" Ye Chen sighed inwardly, looking up above as if he too could see the Quasi-Monarch sitting cross-legged and guarding the area a million li deep in the sky above the earth.
Then he looked at the two Quasi-Monarchs and said, "We won't continue the battle today. You two shall remain suppressed."
Whoosh—
Immediately, within the Chaos Great Cauldron, endless ancient Chaos Qi continuously transformed, giving birth to layer upon layer of world realms, enveloping the two Quasi-Monarchs within, making it impossible for them to break free.
After doing this, Ye Chen's figure moved and vanished with a swoosh.
Seeing this scene, Quasi-Monarch Hongwei and Quasi-Monarch Huanghua, being figures of their stature, soon had countless thoughts flash through their minds. They quickly understood and exchanged glances, both revealing intense joy.
It seemed reinforcements had finally found them. They were saved.
Swoosh—
At the deepest point a million li down, Ye Chen's figure appeared.
First, he retrieved the Chaos Great Cauldron, then with a wave of his hand, he gathered all the Quasi-Monarch level formations into his body.
"Since he isn't acting immediately, he must be summoning other Quasi-Monarchs. One-on-one, even against a supreme Quasi-Monarch at the late stage, I have no fear. But if there are many, and they wield more and more terrifying Monarch Rules, that's a different matter."
"Now, while the other Quasi-Monarchs haven't arrived yet, leaving early is the best course of action."
Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind as a terrifying divine power rippled around his entire body.
The God King Spirit of the Fire Dao burned, as if transforming into a sun, with unparalleled high temperatures steaming forth, forcibly burning away the void itself. Instantly, a massive underground space spanning hundreds of thousands of li in area appeared at the earth's deepest point.
Boom—
Ye Chen forcefully soared into the sky, infinite flames of light rolling and burning around him, instantly turning everything blocking his path to ashes.
Deep within the earth, a fearsome Black Hole with a diameter of ten thousand li immediately appeared. And as Ye Chen's figure continued to rapidly soar upward, it continuously extended and lengthened.
In less than a moment, he had charged from the deepest part of the earth up to the surface. Infinite rolling flames exploded, transforming into a vast sea of fire, mighty and majestic, inundating an area of a million li. It was a terrifyingly astonishing sight.
On the earth, a massive abyssal Black Hole ten thousand li wide and a million li deep was left forever.
"Indeed, Battle Saint King, you are here. My vigil here was not in vain."
The Quasi-Monarch stationed here wore a black robe that faintly revealed his robust, burly physique and an evil countenance.
On his broad shoulders rested a dark-red ghost-headed greatsword. His crimson eyes looked at Ye Chen in this manner, exuding a thick, bloodthirsty intent.
Clearly, this was no benevolent figure; perhaps more accurately, he was a fearsome existence who thirsted for blood as if it were life itself.
"Ghost Fiend? So it's you, Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend of the Nether Emperor Clan."
Ye Chen knew of this Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend before him—a Quasi-Monarch of notorious infamy, belonging to the Nether Emperor Clan among the Nine Clans and Eighteen Kingdoms. He was one of the supreme Quasi-Monarchs who rose during the Dark Blood Era, having slaughtered countless primordial ancient beasts before being sealed away to emerge in this era.
Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend stood up tall, gripping the ghost-headed greatsword that was taller than his entire person. He grinned, his rough face vaguely resembling a wild beast, with murderous aura filling the sky: "I heard you are very strong, having successively defeated and suppressed six Quasi-Monarchs alone. Such a record is considered quite impressive even among Quasi-Monarchs. Of course, it's also because you haven't encountered a sufficiently powerful opponent. I, Ghost Fiend, am not like those trash Huanghua and Hongwei who can be dealt with so easily."
"Is that so?"
Ye Chen said indifferently. Seeing that Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend was alone and sensing the powerful Quasi-Monarch auras faintly approaching from other places, he wasted no words and directly attacked this Quasi-Monarch.
Strike first to gain the upper hand!
Moreover, this was not a place to linger. He needed to leave before the other Quasi-Monarchs arrived, to get far away from here.
Three Chaos Styles—
Heaven-Shattering Style! Void-Nullifying Style!
Myriad Realms Style!
The strongest attack to kill!
"Heh, indeed quite impressive. To be so powerful as a peak Divine King—if you stepped into the Quasi-Monarch domain, it would be unimaginable."
Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend's pupils slightly contracted, yet he showed no fear whatsoever. With one hand, he grabbed the ghost-headed greatsword and swept it out fiercely.
Whoosh—
A sharp blood-red light shot skyward, directly cleaving the entire world before him in two.
Boom— Boom—
Boom—
In Ye Chen's narrowed gaze, the Three Chaos Styles were completely annihilated and broken. However, the ghost-headed greatsword, carrying a dense blood-red light, did not diminish its momentum. It heavily slashed towards Ye Chen, making even him feel a bone-chilling sense of crisis.
The power of Monarch Rules!
He knew that ghost-headed greatsword must have been fused with the power of Monarch Rules to be so terrifying. Without another word, his figure retreated, shooting backwards explosively.
Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend took a step, his figure flickering as he leaped forward. In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived before Ye Chen, possessing similarly terrifying speed.
"Trying to escape? Better stay here."
The ghost-headed greatsword slashed down again, carrying an extremely fierce and terrifying imposing might, cleaving through the sky as it fell heavily.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen's figure twisted, and the Maha Magic Cube suddenly appeared in his hand, blocking the strike of the ghost-headed greatsword.
Boom—
The Maha Magic Cube was split in two, but it buffered the descending force of the ghost-headed greatsword.
Simultaneously, two figures stepped out from Ye Chen's body—the Chaos Supreme Body and the Chaos God King Spirit. Three supreme figures, each comparable to a mid-stage Quasi-Monarch, attacked together from three directions.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The sudden eruption of a violent offensive caught Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend off guard, sending his figure flying backwards, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
However, he was clearly a whole level stronger than Quasi-Monarch Hongwei, actually not suffering much damage.
"Battle Saint King, do you really think I, Ghost Fiend, would dare to stay alone without sufficient strength?"
Quasi-Monarch Ghost Fiend licked the bit of blood at the corner of his mouth, revealing a very bloody smile towards him. Then, the imposing might on his body suddenly erupted, causing Ye Chen's three bodies to pause, subjected to a powerful sense of oppression.
That level of imposing might had clearly reached the late stage of Quasi-Monarch!
