Since he was here, he might as well settle in. This had always been Ye Chen's habit.
He was in this starry sky, feeling the vast and mighty Quasi-Monarch power within his body. It was far better than in a world like the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, which was suppressed by the Great Daos of the various Heavens' Supremes.
A Quasi-Monarch was a super existence on the verge of being revered throughout the ages. If they so wished, they could shatter a dimensional world with a mere raise of their hand. Their power was truly inconceivable.
Without the suppression of the Supreme Emperor Daos, when Ye Chen released his divine sense, it could cover a territory as vast as the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. Its expanse was simply immeasurable.
"Hmm? This starry sky is indeed extremely vast. According to the hints given by the Supreme Stone Tablet, this is not the true Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. However, to reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, one must traverse this starry sky. Naturally, the starry sky also holds some hints and has corresponding teleportation arrays. Otherwise, crossing recklessly could easily lead to getting lost within, making it difficult to escape, or even being permanently trapped, unable to leave."
Ye Chen murmured softly to himself. This starry sky was also part of the final trial.
One needed to traverse this starry sky to truly reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.
Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that even with his supreme Quasi-Monarch divine sense, capable of covering a territory as vast as the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain and encompassing numerous star domains, he still could not explore the end of this starry sky.
However, while his divine sense swept across, he did detect other Imperial Sons and Daughters, children of Immortal Dao, and the great era's talents from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Clearly, all participants had been sent to this starry sky. It was just that the teleportation locations of the Illusory Passage were random, not placing everyone in the same spot.
The others also sensed this terrifying divine sense and their expressions changed slightly. They immediately knew it was Ye Chen and instantly shifted away, wanting to put as much distance between themselves and him as possible.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled faintly, pleased with the outcome.
Searching with his divine sense, he did not find the Imperial Sons, Daughters, or the strongest young supremes from the human side.
Ye Chen knew they were probably not in this territory, but in other distant territories, as this starry sky was truly too vast.
"Oh well. With their strength, they won't be in danger here. I'll just wait for them ahead."
With a light laugh, Ye Chen transformed into a streak of light, shooting forward like lightning.
Although it was easy to get lost in this starry sky, given its boundless infinity, Ye Chen was unafraid. Because he was an existence comparable to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, his skill gave him courage. He wanted to see if this starry sky could truly trap him.
Boom—
He directly made his move, displaying the peerless cultivation of a Chaos Quasi-Monarch. He tore through this starry sky, directly annihilating several star domains and shattering countless stars, creating a terrifying commotion.
The Imperial Sons, Daughters, and children of Immortal Dao in other distant parts of the starry sky all turned their attention over. But upon seeing it was the Battle Saint King making the move, they all fell silent, not daring to approach.
Boom—
This territory was forcibly pierced and torn open by him, revealing endless spatial turbulence, but it was not the outside world.
Because Ye Chen's divine sense instantly spread to the deepest part of the endless spatial turbulence. He discovered that at the very depths, there was a faint layer of radiance carrying wisps of Supreme aura. That was the extreme boundary, the world barrier of the world where this starry sky existed.
"Supreme aura? Could it be that the true location of this starry sky is within an Emperor Realm or Immortal Realm?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly but then shook his head.
Although Emperor Realms or Immortal Realms were vast, they could never compare to the boundless expanse of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain; they fell far short.
Moreover, this starry sky clearly also lacked the corresponding Emperor Dao suppression.
The only plausible inference was that this starry sky was another world created jointly by the various Heavens' Supremes who originally established the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. It was just more expansive, yet more ordinary, tending towards a typical world without Great Dao suppression.
"Why did the various Heavens' Supremes create the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain and then also create this even more vast yet ordinary and common world?" Ye Chen felt somewhat puzzled and found it strange. Moreover, it lay between the Ninth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain and the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, which was the most thought-provoking point.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Suddenly, Ye Chen's gaze sharpened. He saw deep within the starry sky, countless black dots of varying sizes suddenly appear.
And these black dots were approaching at an astonishingly fast speed, like a vast and mighty black storm rapidly sweeping over, accompanied by roars echoing through the starry void, exceptionally piercing.
"Ant Dragon Beasts?"
When Ye Chen clearly saw what kind of creatures these black dots were, he was slightly surprised. So they were Ant Dragon Beasts.
Although Ant Dragon Beasts contained the character for "dragon," they truly had no relation to the dragon race; they merely resembled dragons in form. However, these Ant Dragon Beasts were a species with an extremely exaggerated reproduction rate, capable of multiplying countless Ant Dragon Beasts in a very short time, much like ants in the mortal world.
In this aspect, they were somewhat similar to the Insect Race Mother Queens.
Generally, Ant Dragon Beasts would develop entire massive stars into their true nests.
Ye Chen's divine sense swept over and found that these Ant Dragon Beasts were basically only at the semi-god level. Even though there were over a dozen stars hurtling through the distant void with several powerful auras, the strongest were merely at the Great Power level. He wouldn't pay them any mind.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't casually attack either. But he clearly sensed that these Ant Dragon Beasts were charging towards him. Each one revealed crimson, coveting eyes filled with greed.
Ye Chen also wanted to see if he could find some clues, so he made his move.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
With a light flick of his finger, billions upon billions of sword radiances soared into the sky in an instant, sweeping across this starry sky. The tens of millions, even billions, of Ant Dragon Beasts were forcibly annihilated into ashes.
With a flick of his finger, he exterminated billions of Ant Dragon Beasts.
In the end, only those fifteen star nests of the Ant Dragon Beasts remained, clearly exposed before him.
Swish—
Ye Chen descended from the sky, landing on the largest of these star nests, which had a diameter exceeding three hundred thousand miles.
This star nest was inhabited by an Ant Dragon Beast King at the Great Power level, even at the peak of Great Power, approaching the Half-Step Divine King realm.
But such an Ant Dragon Beast King was as weak as an ant before a super existence like Ye Chen, a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. Clearly sensing Ye Chen's peerless and unparalleled aura, this peak Great Power Ant Dragon Beast King directly prostrated itself in fearful submission before Ye Chen, lowering its proud head as large as a star: "I pay my respects to you, great one!"
Ye Chen nodded indifferently, saying nothing. An overwhelmingly powerful and vast divine sense directly invaded the mind of this peak Great Power Ant Dragon Beast King, searching for relevant memories, searching for the path to reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.
