Boom—
Absolute combat power comparable to a high-level Ancient Monarch erupted.
Ye Chen's intention was to end the battle swiftly, so he did not hesitate to burn a sliver of Emperor Dao Origin, instantly elevating the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's combat power to its peak state.
In this state, Ye Chen believed the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body feared nothing beneath the level of a Monarch.
One punch shattered the Ancient Monarch's protective battle armor.
One finger strike caused the Ancient Monarch's monarchial body to crack.
One sweeping kick caused the Ancient Monarch's physical body to explode, blood radiance flooding the Star Sky.
With one punch, one finger, and one kick, an Ancient Monarch was utterly pulverized.
The might of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was displayed without a doubt.
Almost the instant the Ancient Monarch was blasted apart, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's peak state vanished, returning to its original form.
Emperor Dao Origin could not be burned for long; every shred was extremely precious, and preserving even a little was beneficial.
In the end, the Sun Sovereign collected the flesh, blood, bones, and monarchial heavenly soul of this Ancient Monarch.
A brilliant heavenly sun emerged above him, almost replacing the sun in the sky, burning with boundless Sun Essence Fire. His aura began to fluctuate, growing even stronger.
Everyone could sense that the current Sun Sovereign was significantly more powerful than when he first appeared.
Clearly, the twelve Ancient Monarchs were not merely suppressed by the Sun Sovereign; they were likely being refined by him, allowing his cultivation to continuously improve, drawing ever closer to his peak from the past.
"Sun Sovereign, how is it? Can you return to your peak state from the past?"
Sword Heaven Sovereign inquired.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Tongtian Sovereign stared intently at the Sun Sovereign.
In this situation, only if the Sun Sovereign fully returned to his former Monarch realm would there be any possibility of resisting the impending Ancient Monarchs of the various imperial clans and immortal races.
Otherwise, the final outcome would be the human race being pushed to the brink, forced to use a Supreme Emperor Weapon, but the consequence would be the complete annihilation of the entire human race.
Of course, there was still the trump card left by the Formless Sovereign in the Extraterrestrial Heavens that had not been used.
"Not yet, there's still some distance," the Sun Sovereign shook his head, disappointing everyone.
The Sun Sovereign revealed a faint smile: "But there's no need to worry. Unless a Monarch arrives, we can handle it."
Hearing this, the other three showed a hint of pleasant surprise.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Soon, more Ancient Monarchs descended, but this time not just one—a full eighteen.
Eighteen Ancient Monarchs descended, all releasing their majestic and powerful auras.
Moreover, these eighteen later-arriving Ancient Monarchs were even stronger. The oppressive might of some Ancient Monarchs was so immense that even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body felt a thick sense of danger.
They were clearly extremely powerful Ancient Monarchs, far from ordinary.
"Humans, release all the Ancient Monarchs immediately."
The eighteen Ancient Monarchs naturally understood everything and were secretly shocked.
Thirteen Ancient Monarchs had descended successively, but aside from the Henggu Monarch escaping, the other twelve had all been suppressed without exception. It was truly heart-stopping.
"And if we don't?"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body said coldly.
Even facing eighteen Ancient Monarchs, he still appeared very domineering, not retreating in the slightest.
"If you don't release them, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
Each of the eighteen Ancient Monarchs radiated terrifying oppressive might far beyond imagination, enough to shatter the All Heavens.
Eighteen terrifying waves of monarchial heavenly might spread boundlessly, fully acting upon the four Ancient Monarchs on the human side.
Sword Heaven Sovereign and Tongtian Sovereign both changed expressions slightly, as they were on par with the suppressed Ancient Monarchs and found it difficult to withstand such terrifying pressure.
But the Sun Sovereign took a step forward. A vast and majestic power slowly rippled out, actually neutralizing the boundless oppressive might of the eighteen Ancient Monarchs.
This scene startled the eighteen Ancient Monarchs.
"Sun Sovereign, have you returned to the Monarch realm?"
An Ancient Monarch exclaimed in surprise, as it seemed only a Monarch could accomplish this.
"Monarch?" The Sun Sovereign lightly shook his head. "Not yet, there's still some distance. But my current strength is enough to deal with you all."
Boom—
Boundless sunlight erupted.
Though called sunlight, it was actually endless Sun Essence Fire that directly flooded the infinite Star Sky, spreading boundlessly and surging toward the eighteen Ancient Monarchs.
The Sun Sovereign was extremely forceful, intending to confront all eighteen Ancient Monarchs alone.
Even knowing the Sun Sovereign's strength, at this moment, many were still greatly shocked. An Ancient Monarch even shouted, "Sun Sovereign, you dare challenge us alone without even being a Monarch? Arrogant enough!"
Boom—
An especially terrifying monarchial heavenly might appeared across the sky, carrying an aura of supreme dominance.
An Ancient Monarch from the Divine Emperor Clan!
The members of this imperial clan were all extremely powerful. Whether it was the Divine Emperor's Son, Tai Cang Quasi-Monarch, or the Ancient Monarch now taking action, they were all outstanding figures within their respective realms!
The Divine Emperor Clan's Ancient Monarch appeared with white hair and a youthful face, a rather imposing man wearing an immortal monarchial crown that oppressed the All Heavens, with silver-white hair like snow flowing down. The monarchial heavenly might emanating from him was especially powerful, far stronger than the twelve Ancient Monarchs initially suppressed.
He was known as the Tai Xuan Monarch.
Rumored to be the grandfather of Tai Cang Quasi-Monarch.
"Sun Sovereign, one epoch apart, I never thought we'd meet again."
Tai Xuan Monarch glanced at the Sun Sovereign and spoke slowly.
"It's a pity that whether in the past or now, our meetings are still only on the battlefield."
His words surprised everyone. Had Tai Xuan Monarch and the Sun Sovereign met before?
However, some Ancient Monarchs recalled old tales from the previous epoch, that magnificent and glorious era.
"But before reminiscing, let's deal with some people first!"
Tai Xuan Monarch held a Divine Staff, like a peerless Great Emperor. The terrifying Divine Staff, carved with endless secret patterns, instantly expanded with the wind, transforming into a sky-piercing pillar. Carrying overwhelming battle might, vast and mighty, it smashed down.
This strike directly targeted the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
"It's said that the Battle Saint King's Saint Lord Dominator Body is peerless in the world, even having fought against a Supreme One. Today, let this Monarch experience the so-called power of the Saint Lord Dominator Body!"
The Divine Staff radiated endless oppressive might, with beams of divine light emerging.
They were figures of peerless great fiends, like numerous Ancient Monarch-level Primordial Beast Gods charging forth, crushing the heavens, annihilating the Star Sky, terrifyingly excessive.
This strike far surpassed other Ancient Monarchs. Even an ordinary Ancient Monarch struck by it would be severely injured, even have their physical body blasted apart.
Boom—
Tai Xuan Monarch's attack was extremely fast, moving like a thunderbolt, even surpassing the reaction speed of ordinary Ancient Monarchs. Ye Chen only had time to control the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to raise its arms to block.
With a loud bang, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was sent flying, blasted into the deepest part of the Star Sky, crashing through who knows how many stars in succession.
Many star domains dimmed.
