Boom—
At the same time, Ye Chen no longer held back the power of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, and even his Emperor Dao foundation began to burn.
A surge of Emperor Dao power emerged within the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Combined with his physical strength and the power of his Emperor Realm, it instantly rose to an extremely high level.
The two Ancient Monarchs from the Corpse Immortal Clan and the Longevity Imperial Clan were utterly incapable of resisting the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body in its strongest state. In almost just two or three exchanges, their physical bodies were violently blasted apart—all resistance was futile.
The two Ancient Monarchs were in an extremely sorry state, ultimately managing to escape with only their Monarch Heavenly Souls.
Whoosh—
The vast heavenly sun manifested by the Sun Sovereign actually extended two enormous hands formed from Solar Saint Flames, directly seizing the Heavenly Souls of the two Ancient Monarchs and similarly devouring them into the heavenly sun.
Not long after, the heavenly sun vanished, and the figure of the Sun Sovereign reappeared in the mortal world.
However, the figures of the seven Ancient Monarchs had disappeared from then on, their whereabouts unknown. Yet, everyone in the world knew they were most likely in grave danger.
Beneath the Star Sky, countless powerhouses trembled in their hearts.
Whether it was the Sun Sovereign or the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, both were far too powerful, long beyond comparison with ordinary Ancient Monarchs. One could tell just by observing how easily they had suppressed the nine Ancient Monarchs.
Especially the Blood Empress, whose heart was pounding with fear.
Although she knew Ye Chen possessed the Saint Monarch Dominator Body, capable of rivaling an Ancient Monarch, she had previously believed that with her own heaven-defying Quasi-Monarch abilities, even if she couldn't win, she could retreat unscathed. She never imagined the capabilities of this Saint Monarch Dominator Body could be terrifying to such an extent. Two dignified Ancient Monarchs weren't merely overpowered; in the end, their supreme Monarch battle bodies were almost blasted apart in the blink of an eye.
Such capability could absolutely be considered that of a peerless powerhouse among Ancient Monarchs.
If she were to face it, she might be annihilated in an instant.
For the first time, she sensed that within the Battle Saint King, whom she had once chased into such a wretched state, lay a terrifying foundation akin to a world-shaking great menace.
Compared to her terror, the Haotian War God was slightly surprised, yet the smile at the corner of his mouth grew even deeper.
Vaguely, there was more of a particular sense of gratification.
Indeed, the Battle Saint King was capable of surpassing both him and her, becoming an existence of another level.
The final two remaining Ancient Monarchs were confronting the two Ancient Monarchs, Jian Tian and Tong Tian. But upon witnessing the terrifying divine might of the Sun Sovereign and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, they were already frightened out of their wits. At this moment, how could they still care about a real battle? They immediately turned and fled.
And they fled at their absolute fastest speed, as far away as possible.
They clearly understood that if they stayed, the consequences would be unthinkable. They would most likely follow in the footsteps of the nine Ancient Monarchs, suppressed by the Sun Sovereign, their fate unknown.
However, the two Ancient Monarchs, Tong Tian and Jian Tian, would never allow these two Ancient Monarchs to leave safely. Terrifying Monarch Heavenly Might erupted as they directly made their move.
"Damn it!"
The two Ancient Monarchs inwardly cursed. Unfortunately, at this very moment, they were indeed delayed somewhat.
Seizing this time, Ye Chen had long since returned, piloting the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
The fusion of three supreme powers meant even a light, floating slap contained a terrifying might sufficient to blast apart the supreme divine bodies of ordinary Ancient Monarchs. It sent the two Ancient Monarchs flying backward, with streams of blood light spraying forth, staining the Star Sky red.
It could hardly be called a fierce battle, for Ye Chen's Great Emperor Reincarnation Body held an overwhelming, absolute dominance. Amidst the surging light of destruction, it physically blasted apart the two Ancient Monarchs.
Both their flesh, blood, bones, and their Sovereign Heavenly Souls were devoured by the Sun Sovereign.
Ye Chen did not stop this, for he knew the Sun Sovereign was refining these Ancient Monarchs to accelerate his own recovery.
He also understood that the Ancient Monarchs from other imperial clans and Immortal Clans were rapidly approaching, and the force arriving would be many times more terrifying than the one just faced.
Facing the condemnation of the Ancient Monarchs from the various heavenly imperial and Immortal Clans, a force far exceeding the previous one, the situation had developed to an unimaginable level.
At this moment, only when the Sun Sovereign fully recovered to his peak state as a Sovereign of old would they truly possess the power to fight.
Sure enough, soon—perhaps not even a moment later—this expanse of Star Sky trembled violently. Wave after wave of terrifying pressure, potent enough to shatter the heavens, arrived from afar, rapidly drawing near.
"It's the Ancient Monarchs! The Ancient Monarchs from the other imperial clans and Immortal Clans are coming! This is bad!"
The human experts paled, for the number of arriving Ancient Monarchs far exceeded the previous group. Even before their true arrival, the sheer pressure made everyone beneath the Star Sky tremble physically.
They all shuddered uncontrollably.
It was an instinctive tremor, a primal fear akin to facing a dragon from the highest heavens.
Boom—
Finally, at a certain moment, an Ancient Monarch arrived first, descending upon the Star Sky.
He saw the Henggu Monarch fleeing rapidly into the distance and noticed the inexplicable disappearance of the other Ancient Monarchs. His heart sank, a sense of foreboding rising within him. "Humans, where are the other Ancient Monarchs?"
Suddenly, he saw the Sun Sovereign. He saw the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. He also saw the four human Sovereigns—Tong Tian Sovereign, Jian Tian Sovereign, and the others—looking down at him from on high, their gazes as if viewing a fool. Anger ignited in his heart.
What kind of attitude was this?
But soon, a divine sense transmission pierced directly into his consciousness: "Leave immediately! Aside from me, all the other Ancient Monarchs have been suppressed!"
It was a transmission from the Henggu Monarch.
What!?
The first-arriving Ancient Monarch felt his hair stand on end. Of the twelve Ancient Monarchs who had descended in their true forms, aside from the Henggu Monarch, the other eleven had actually been suppressed?
How was that possible? Those were all Ancient Monarchs, a full dozen of them! How could they have been suppressed?
Yet the evidence seemed to lie right before his eyes.
Almost instantly, this first-arriving reinforcement Sovereign turned to flee without a second thought, fearing he might share the same fate as the others—that would be the greatest tragedy.
However, while his speed was great, someone else's speed was even greater.
Whoosh—
It was the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Even though it could not wield Sovereign-level Great Dao laws, relying on its one-seventh supreme-grade physical body, it could still shatter the void, traversing space directly.
In the span of just two or three breaths, this Ancient Monarch was caught up to.
"It's you! The Saint Monarch Dominator body of the Battle Saint King! You dare violate the agreement and take action!"
The arriving Ancient Monarch, after his initial shock, roared in fury, attempting to use the Ancient Monarchs' pact to intimidate and repel the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
Unfortunately, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's expression remained icy and silent. It coldly regarded this Ancient Monarch, uttering not a single word before directly striking.
