In the deepest part of the starry sky, near the mysterious Tianwaitian, even the stars gradually grew sparse, but each remaining star was far more vast and immense, many times larger than ordinary stars.
Some stars were even comparable to the sun, with diameters of billions of li, rivaling the breadth of a Sovereign's Great World!
The suppression of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was especially intense here, and the domain's origin was extremely close. Even an Ancient Monarch approaching this place would feel immense pressure.
Boom—
A tremendous roar shattered the tranquility of the deepest starry sky.
The Sun Sovereign, the Tai Xuan Monarch, and the other ten Ancient Monarchs appeared.
The Sun Sovereign stood alone, facing off against the nine Ancient Monarchs led by the Tai Xuan Monarch.
"This scene reminds me of the Wuxiang Sovereign from back then, at the end of the previous epoch," the Sun Sovereign suddenly said. "He was targeted by the Ancient Universe of the Alien Race, besieged by two Monarchs and seven peerless Sovereigns."
The scene before him was strikingly similar, though not as severe as the two Monarchs and seven peerless Sovereigns. Still, it was nine Sovereigns.
Especially the Tai Xuan Monarch before him, who could absolutely be ranked among the peerless Sovereigns.
Such a peerless Sovereign possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary Ancient Monarchs by many times, earning the title 'peerless'.
It was akin to the difference between a peerless Divine King and an ordinary Divine King.
"Unfortunately, you are not the Wuxiang Sovereign of old, and you will not escape the fate of being slain by us," the Tai Xuan Monarch said with an indifferent expression. Gripping his Divine Staff, he suddenly grew to an immeasurable height, standing in the deepest starry sky, not the least bit inferior to those super-giant stars spanning over a million li, even larger by a considerable margin.
The Monarch Dharma Form that manifested behind him also held a Divine Staff, stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of li, like a vast stellar river. With resplendent silver light and accompanied by the boundless power of Monarch rules, it descended from the heavens, directly attacking the Sun Sovereign.
From the very first move, the Tai Xuan Monarch unleashed a fearsome killing technique.
Because he knew all too well that ordinary techniques would be utterly useless against the Sun Sovereign.
At the same time, he roared, "Attack! Use your most powerful techniques and bombard the Sun Sovereign together!"
"Yes!"
The other eight Ancient Monarchs shouted in unison, each also manifesting their own Monarch Dharma Forms. Though far inferior to the Tai Xuan Monarch's in both size and imposing aura, they were still overwhelmingly powerful.
The nine Monarch Dharma Forms struck simultaneously, sweeping across the boundless firmament with overwhelming Monarch heavenly might.
Faced with such a terrifying onslaught, a trace of gravity also appeared on the Sun Sovereign's face. His figure flickered as he prepared to evade.
Suddenly, the sound of a surging river echoed forth.
Faintly, a massive, long river appeared in the deepest starry sky, no less grand than a stellar river, even more magnificent by who knew how many times. Flickering in and out, it carried a mysterious power of time and space—it was none other than the River of Time.
It had been summoned by the Heng Gu Junwang among the nine Sovereigns.
Although only a phantom, the summoned River of Time was terrifying enough. Its endless power of temporal space influenced everything and enveloped the Sun Sovereign, rendering him immobile.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
At the same moment, the attacks from the other eight Ancient Monarchs had already arrived, striking the Sun Sovereign in full force.
Terrifying attacks continuously exploded. Among them, the most fearsome was undoubtedly the Tai Xuan Monarch's. Under the terrifying assault of his Monarch Divine Staff, which could even be said to slay ordinary Ancient Monarchs, the Sun Sovereign's defensive barrier was breached, and blood continuously appeared.
The Tai Xuan Monarch's fearsome Divine Staff strike shattered the armor on the Sun Sovereign's shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-visible wound. Blood light gushed forth like the eruption of a million volcanoes, illuminating half the starry sky.
The Sun Sovereign staggered back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
In just the first exchange, the Sun Sovereign had been wounded.
It had to be said, this was an unfavorable start.
But for the nine Sovereigns, it was an excellent beginning!
"The Sun Sovereign is injured! Attack again!"
The Tai Xuan Monarch roared, a hint of indescribable excitement in his voice.
Because in his previous battle with the Sun Sovereign, he had expended who knew how much effort to barely wound him. But now, he had inflicted injuries in just a brief encounter—a glorious achievement.
The nine Ancient Monarchs attacked with full force once more, their fearsome assaults bombarding down again.
The Tai Xuan Monarch's Divine Staff struck blow after blow without cease, shattering the entire starry sky and causing several nearby vast stars with diameters over a million li to explode, unable to withstand the force.
It must be known that within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, the larger the star, the more Supreme Power it contained, far surpassing stars with diameters of thousands or tens of thousands of li by who knew how many times, making them incredibly stable.
Under normal circumstances, even an Ancient Monarch would need to expend an unknown amount of divine power to shatter such massive stars.
Now, under the bombardment of the nine Ancient Monarchs, they were directly pulverized.
Boom—
The Sun Sovereign transformed in a flash, instantly becoming a sun star billions of li in size, radiating endless Yang holy flames. He forcefully pushed open the phantom of the River of Time and swallowed all the attacks.
Swish—
The sun vanished, and the Sun Sovereign reverted to his original form, though a few more traces of blood now stained the corner of his mouth. Clearly, blocking in this manner was not without cost, as it had withstood the combined assault of nine Ancient Monarchs.
The nine Sovereigns frowned slightly, for killing the Sun Sovereign in this manner would be far too difficult, and who knew how much time it would ultimately require.
Moreover, there were other human Ancient Monarchs now, especially the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, which possessed power rivaling a peerless Sovereign.
If they came to aid, everything might ultimately come to naught.
Suddenly, the Heng Gu Junwang said, "Everyone, please assist me. I will kill the Sun Sovereign."
Hearing this, the other eight Ancient Monarchs, including the Tai Xuan Monarch, were startled. Then, as if remembering something, they revealed looks of shock.
"Could it be that move!?"
The eight Ancient Monarchs' expressions changed slightly.
Although the Heng Gu Junwang's strength was only slightly greater than that of an ordinary Ancient Monarch, he possessed a truly terrifying ultimate killing technique, almost worthy of being called a forbidden divine ability. Even the Tai Xuan Monarch feared it immensely.
Once unleashed, it would undoubtedly possess unimaginable power!
However, using such a forbidden technique also came at a great cost. It would not be lightly employed except in life-or-death situations. Otherwise, when facing the Sun Sovereign and the Chi Xue Monarch earlier, he would not have exchanged the Chaos Source Liquid and the Hall of Time for his life.
"Agreed! We will assist you. Proceed with your attack!"
The Tai Xuan Monarch said, leading the other seven Ancient Monarchs to attack together, launching a full-force assault on the Sun Sovereign.
