"The final trial has arrived! The gathering of Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants is a scene rarely witnessed throughout the ages!"
Someone at the edge of the mysterious land exclaimed in awe, feeling honored to witness such a sight.
However, it was unclear just how brutal this final trial would be. After all, these Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were all supremely powerful and invincible; not a single one was easy to deal with. Perhaps the struggle for the 'Supreme One' immortal fate would be filled with bloodshed, and who knew how many would fall.
Every Emperor Son, Daughter, and Immortal Dao Descendant who had descended upon the mysterious land was like a dragon or tiger. Extremely brilliant light pillars soared from their bodies into the lofty heavens, piercing through the vast clouds, wantonly releasing their respective imposing might.
Among them, the Divine Imperial Son, Chu Shenjun, Yu Wudi, and Huang Yao were the most terrifying. Standing within the Quasi-Monarch realm, they far surpassed the other Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants, once again leading the way.
They each stood in one of the four directions, like supreme powerhouses guarding their respective territories. None of them regarded the other Emperor Sons, Daughters, or Immortal Dao Descendants with any regard, standing independently between heaven and earth, confronting each other.
Their terrifying Quasi-Monarch auras spread, shattering countless miles of void space.
"This time, perhaps the true battle for supremacy will only be among these four!"
The other Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants couldn't help but sigh softly. Although they had indeed grown much stronger after twenty years of tempering, there was still a clear gap compared to these four, for they had transcended beyond the Divine King realm and reached the Quasi-Monarch level.
Even among those who had reached the peak of the Divine King realm, just a step away from Quasi-Monarch, they still felt a vast difference from these four.
"Unless one is a Quasi-Monarch, who in the world can contend with these four?"
An Imperial Maiden shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling that the four were far too powerful; they were simply no match for them.
"Not necessarily. The human race's supreme Heaven's Pride have yet to arrive. I heard the Jade Azure Immortal Maiden has also become a Quasi-Monarch."
"And the Battle Saint King. It's said he has been charging towards the Quasi-Monarch realm for this past year and a half."
They brought up the human race's Heaven's Pride, comparing them to the four Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants, believing that only Jade Azure and Ye Chen could possibly join the fray.
Especially Ye Chen, the Battle Saint King. Every Emperor Son, Daughter, and Immortal Dao Descendant was astonished by him. After all, this was a person who had become an unprecedented Ten Tribulation Divine King, a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride, capable of slaying a Quasi-Monarch in defiance of the heavens, and qualified to battle these four.
Moreover, he had been in seclusion for over a year and a half, charging towards the Quasi-Monarch realm. It was just unknown whether the Battle Saint King had truly succeeded in his breakthrough.
But most felt the hope was indeed rather slim; the possibility wasn't great.
Boom—
Not long after, a domain gate far surpassing those of other Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans appeared, its aura slowly rippling out with a pressure that could make even the Ancient Monarchs of the All Heavens pale.
"The might of an Emperor Lord!"
"It's the Sun Emperor Lord!"
Rumble—
Visible to the naked eye, from this lofty, unreachable domain gate, the Sun Emperor Lord, whose might suppressed the All Heavens, appeared. He wore the divine robes of an Emperor Lord, crowned with an immortal divine crown, like an ancient emperor descending upon the mortal world.
Beneath his feet, a Sun Great Dao extended, with manifestations of Golden Crows, Phoenixes, Vermilion Birds, and other Chaos Holy Spirits, as if an emperor had arrived in the world.
Within this stretch of heaven and earth, the numerous powerhouses from various forces at the edge of the mysterious land all bowed in worship.
If not for being Supreme descendants, with Supreme bloodline power autonomously reviving within them, the Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants would likely have prostrated themselves at this moment.
Upon seeing the Sun Emperor Lord appear in person, these Ancient Monarchs all underwent drastic changes in expression, their hearts still harboring lingering fear from two years ago when the Sun Emperor Lord alone swept through the All Heavens, slaughtering and devouring numerous Ancient Monarchs.
At this moment, they all held immense apprehension in their hearts.
The Sun Emperor Lord swept a calm glance over them. His gaze was peaceful, yet it subjected these Ancient Monarchs to immense pressure.
Behind him were the human race's Emperor Sons, Daughters, and strongest young Supreme Ones, appearing one after another.
When they saw that the leader of the human race's younger generation was none other than Ye Chen, instantly, the expressions of the numerous Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants changed drastically.
"The Battle Saint King!?"
"It's actually the Battle Saint King?"
"He's emerged from seclusion!"
"Wasn't the Battle Saint King charging towards the Quasi-Monarch realm? Why has he truly emerged after just a year and a half? Could it be he succeeded in his breakthrough?"
...
Exclamations tinged with shock came one after another, filled with disbelief.
It was widely said that the Battle Saint King was charging towards the Quasi-Monarch realm. Yet, after only a year and a half, he had truly emerged from seclusion. This was exceptionally shocking, for his emergence was too swift. They believed that no matter how heaven-defying the Battle Saint King was, he should have needed several more years to successfully emerge.
However, they also seriously suspected that the Battle Saint King had not become a Quasi-Monarch, but had been forced to emerge early due to the final trial.
This point was also acknowledged by the vast majority.
After all, breaking through from Divine King to Quasi-Monarch was not as simple as imagined. And with only two years, it was clear the Battle Saint King should still have a significant gap to bridge.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over the Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants. He sensed their shock, doubt, astonishment, and complex emotions. He also saw the battle intent blazing in the eyes of the strongest who had become Quasi-Monarchs: the Divine Imperial Son, Chu Shenjun, Yu Wudi, and Huang Yao.
He understood the thoughts in their hearts.
He also saw the almost undisguised killing intent directed at him from the Ancient Monarchs of these Imperial and Immortal Clans, and he let out a cold laugh.
Boom— Heaven and earth shattered!
From Ye Chen's body, a terrifying aura that could be described as suppressing the mortal world suddenly erupted, sweeping out like a storm, sweeping across this stretch of sky.
Visible to the naked eye, as this extreme, terrifying Quasi-Monarch might erupted, at this moment, all the Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants felt a terrifying pressure assaulting them. The figures of almost everyone suddenly sank, descending quite a bit.
And the expressions on those absolutely handsome, peerlessly beautiful, and devastatingly charming faces, both male and female, were almost entirely replaced by shock.
"Quasi-Monarch! A true Quasi-Monarch!"
"The Battle Saint King has truly become a Quasi-Monarch!"
"Impossible! How could the Battle Saint King possibly become a Quasi-Monarch in just a year and a half!?"
"Another invincible Quasi-Monarch has appeared among the younger generation!"
"Even at the peak of the Divine King realm, he could slay a Quasi-Monarch in defiance of the heavens. Now that he's become a Quasi-Monarch, who in the world can truly be his match?"
"Heavens! The Battle Saint King has joined the ranks of Quasi-Monarchs like the Divine Imperial Son and Chu Shenjun!"
...
The shock on the faces of the numerous powerhouses gathered here between heaven and earth was written all over them, impossible to conceal.
