What a pity about that Monarch's battle armor.
However, this Ancient Monarch also managed to escape a calamity because of it. Otherwise, he felt that if the Sun God Divine Bell in its fully awakened state came crashing down, he would likely be smashed to pieces.
This could be seen from the Yigu Monarch.
"What a pity."
Seeing that a single strike failed to annihilate the Ancient Monarch, the Sun Sovereign let out a soft sigh, tinged with regret, which caused the other Ancient Monarchs to fall deathly silent.
A Sun Sovereign of such power was truly not someone they could contend with at present.
"Quickly summon the other Ancient Monarchs to come and deal with him together. If necessary, we must not hesitate to invite that lord to take action!"
Henggu Monarch urgently spoke up. Facing the current Sun Sovereign, he felt a terrifying pressure akin to facing an Emperor.
Just like when he faced Chi Xue Emperor back then.
Boom—
At the same time, Ye Chen, manipulating the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, also launched an attack, sweeping through two Ancient Monarchs with overwhelming force.
A fearsome Monarch-level battle erupted, but the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body easily overpowered the two Ancient Monarchs. Neither the Ancient Monarch from the Everlasting Life Imperial Clan nor the one from the Corpse Immortal Clan was a match for the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
And this was without the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body utilizing the one-seventh portion of Emperor Dao Origin within it. Otherwise, it might instantly reach a level comparable to the Sun Sovereign, capable of overwhelmingly slaying them.
Even so, it had gained absolute superiority.
The two Ancient Monarchs were sent flying, blood light splattering, appearing utterly disheveled, not much better off than the seven Ancient Monarchs facing the Sun Sovereign.
Below, both armies were dumbfounded, clearly never expecting the human side to be so brutal, directly suppressing the Alliance Army's Ancient Monarchs who held an absolute numerical advantage.
The strength of both the Sun Sovereign and the Saint Monarch Sovereign Body far exceeded their imaginations.
Boom—
Surging blood light shot into the heavens.
At this moment, another Ancient Monarch was smashed to pieces.
That was the Sun Sovereign making his move.
During this period, his cultivation had recovered considerably, drawing closer day by day to his former Emperor realm. Even if not fully there now, he could easily crush these Ancient Monarchs.
Just as a Quasi-Monarch could crush a Divine King.
This was absolute power suppression.
The twelve Ancient Monarchs on the Alliance Army side wore ugly expressions, tinged with bitter smiles. They never expected they would ultimately fall into such a miserable state.
"Ah—"
Another agonized scream.
An Ancient Monarch was blasted apart alive!
The Sun Sovereign descended like an Emperor, his might boundless, possessing a great power that ordinary Ancient Monarchs could not hope to match.
He strode through the Star Sky, weaving through the encirclement and attacks of the Ancient Monarchs with leisurely steps, appearing very calm, as if walking on a mundane street.
But the remaining five Ancient Monarchs faced a great enemy, attacking with all their might.
Like Henggu Monarch, whose body erupted with intense Time Light, intertwining across the Star Sky, his Monarch rules peerless, forming a sky-covering barrier.
And like Ao Xue Tianjun from the Ao Sheng Immortal Clan, doing the same.
These Ancient Monarchs all attacked with full force, assaulting the Sun Sovereign.
But by this point, it was no longer to kill the Sun Sovereign, but rather to delay him, to allow other Ancient Monarchs from the imperial clans and immortal clans to come to their aid.
Because the Sun Sovereign was simply too terrifyingly powerful. They suspected he had returned to his peak Emperor realm from back in the day; otherwise, how could he be this horrifying?
They were, after all, Ancient Monarchs revered throughout the ages, supreme existences who could be called Universe overlords even in chaotic ancient universes where Emperors and peerless immortals existed. Yet, facing the Sun Sovereign, they felt a hair-raising life-and-death crisis emerging.
Moreover, whenever the Sun Sovereign targeted someone, regardless of which Ancient Monarch it was, they could barely last ten rounds, often not even exceeding five, before being blasted apart, smashed to pieces, unable to escape death.
If not for all the Ancient Monarchs joining forces, bombarding him recklessly regardless of the severe depletion of their divine power, the casualties wouldn't have been limited to just two Ancient Monarchs being blasted apart; the on-site losses would have been at least twice as severe.
Yet even so, the casualties were still heavy!
During the battle, the several other Ancient Monarchs whose physical bodies had been blasted apart relied on their allied Ancient Monarchs to reassemble.
As long as the Monarch Heavenly Soul remained, even if the physical body was shattered, even if the flesh, blood, and bones were annihilated, as long as a single drop of blood remained, relying on the heaven-defying ability of an Ancient Monarch, flesh and blood could still regenerate.
Of course, as the saying goes, a body reassembled in this manner was far inferior to the meticulously tempered body of before.
Unless it was reassembled from the original flesh, blood, and bones.
These Ancient Monarchs did not hesitate to consume extremely rare and priceless pills from their respective imperial clans and immortal clans. Dazzling radiance surged around them as they spared no effort to recover.
They only needed to hold out for a brief moment longer, and the other Ancient Monarchs from the imperial clans and immortal clans would be able to arrive.
In fact, although those Ancient Monarchs hadn't personally descended like the twelve present, they had been monitoring the situation between the Alliance Army and the human army. Upon learning of the Sun Sovereign's terror, they had long since set out.
Since they were all Ancient Monarchs, and basically within the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains, the fastest could arrive within half an hour.
Now, although those Ancient Monarchs' figures were not yet visible, one could faintly sense terrifying fluctuations shaking the Star Sky rapidly approaching the battlefield.
"Soon, they are about to descend. We just need to hold on for a brief moment longer!"
The twelve Ancient Monarchs all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet at this very moment, they felt a terrifying sense of crisis surge from the depths of their hearts.
The Sun Sovereign suddenly transformed into a heavenly sun, immense and boundless, far surpassing all heavenly bodies, comparable to the sun of the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains, spanning hundreds of millions of li, no less vast than a Monarch's great world.
The colossal heavenly sun was peerless, directly submerging the three Ancient Monarchs closest to it. Faintly, their agonized screams could be heard.
Furthermore, pure Yang essence fire condensed into Azure Dragons flew out, each stretching millions of li long, carrying terrifying Sun God might, piercing through the Star Sky.
There were as many as a hundred of them, directly seizing and biting the other three Ancient Monarchs, making it difficult for them to struggle, dragging them alive into the heavenly sun.
Boom—
The Sun God Divine Bell descended from the heavens, constantly swaying, its bell toll resounding, enveloping even the Yigu Monarch who had fled the farthest.
Yigu Monarch only had time to let out a single shrill, miserable scream before his entire person was swallowed by the Sun God Divine Bell, his figure vanishing on the spot.
Only Henggu Monarch, at the critical moment, fully revealed his true form as the Time Heavenly Beast, not hesitating to burn himself, unleashing his most powerful Time Light, barely managed to escape this calamity.
But even so, a strike from the Sun Sovereign that severed the void also wounded this Ancient Monarch famed throughout the Dark Blood Era, causing him to cough up mouthfuls of blood.
