The Supreme Ancient Domain was shaken to its core!
Billions of living beings trembled in their hearts!
Eight super Divine Kings, including the most top-tier ones at the eighth and ninth tribulations, were actually annihilated in a single strike. What kind of method was this?
In the Supreme Ancient Domain, terrifying supreme existences were startled from their slumber, gazing towards that direction from afar. Sensing a terrifying fluctuation that surpassed the Divine King level, they were first shocked, then sighed: "As expected of the most powerful geniuses from the myriad ancient universes arriving. Someone has actually become a Quasi-Monarch, not inferior to us."
Quasi-Monarch! The entire world was shaken!
That strongest genius from beyond the domain was actually a Quasi-Monarch. No wonder he was so powerful, suppressing and killing eight super Divine Kings with a mere raise of his hand.
"Divine Imperial Son, so it's him. No wonder he's so formidable."
The Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants sighed. Although they were all Imperial Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants, there were always some who were exceptionally powerful, such as the Divine Imperial Son, Chu Shenjun, Yu Wudi, and others. They were all true supreme powerhouses who had stepped into the Quasi-Monarch realm early on, leaving the others only able to look up to them.
Soon, they remembered another person—
The Battle Saint King!
This even more heaven-defying and world-defying true number one of the younger generation. They didn't know if he had come as well.
However, throughout the vast Supreme Ancient Domain, his name had never been heard. Otherwise, with the Battle Saint King's power, it was impossible for him to remain silent. Perhaps he was still lost in the boundless starry sky, continuing to search for an exit.
This made them all breathe a slight sigh of relief. Otherwise, facing the Battle Saint King, they truly wouldn't even have the courage to compete.
What they didn't know was that Ye Chen and the others had not only come but had also entered the Emperor Star Secret Realm to cultivate, refining Dao Stars and constantly growing stronger, becoming even more powerful than before.
At the same time, the Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants had basically each taken control of a superpower, with Divine Kings under their command. Naturally, they were aware of major events in the Supreme Ancient Domain, knew about the Two Realms Battlefield, knew about the Ultimate Ancient Domain, and also knew about the competition for the Supreme Secret Realms.
Naturally, they also knew about the Emperor Star Secret Realm, this Supreme Secret Realm, and that it contained three thousand six hundred Dao Stars that could increase cultivation speed.
Even the true Supreme treasure trove had yet to be found.
They couldn't help but grow envious.
Although the fathers of these Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were all Emperors, Supreme Immortals, and other Supremes, possessing true Supreme inheritances, no one would ever complain about having too many of such Supreme treasure troves.
Moreover, in the final trial, no one knew if this Supreme Secret Realm contained other even more astonishing Supreme legacies.
For a time, all the Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants who had crossed the starry sky to descend upon the Supreme Ancient Domain, shortly after their arrival, began to set off for the Emperor Star Secret Realm!
At the Hengfeng Heavenly Palace's divine hall, originally, people had to queue up one by one to enter the Emperor Star Secret Realm in an orderly manner. But these Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants paid no heed, directly cutting in line and having the Great Power elder activate the teleportation array.
Everyone was furious but dared not speak out, all because these Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were each peerlessly powerful, and behind them followed various superpowers, with Divine King ancestors in tow. No one dared to resist.
The Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants successively entered the Emperor Star Secret Realm, causing the powerhouses of the various superpowers to return to their respective factions. They could receive news from the outside world at any time, awaiting the emergence of the fourth Supreme Secret Realm on the Two Realms Battlefield.
Once the fourth Supreme Secret Realm emerged, they would certainly head to the Two Realms Battlefield to compete for it.
Just as the Heavenly Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were successively entering the Emperor Star Secret Realm to cultivate using the many Dao Stars, deep within the Emperor Star Secret Realm, a shattered dark golden star had transformed into infinite star fragments, forming a belt of broken stars.
These numerous star fragments all bore a dark golden hue. Even though they were shattered, they still contained a faint, undying divine nature, difficult to decay, with the power of the Metal Great Dao slowly circulating.
However, as time passed, this Metal Great Dao power was gradually dissipating.
On one of these dark golden star fragments, about a hundred miles in size like a miniature continent, sat a figure. His entire body was bathed in brilliant and intense golden radiance, like a human-shaped sun, yet exuding an unparalleled golden aura, sharp and peerless, capable of slicing through everything.
This figure remained motionless, having persisted for a full year.
Only recently had the golden light radiating from him slowly begun to weaken.
On this day, the dazzling golden light bathing the figure finally completely receded inward, revealing his true appearance. Who else could it be but Ye Chen.
He opened his eyes, sharp golden light erupting from them, almost condensing into tangible golden war swords that shot out, piercing through everything.
"Finally finished refining..."
He let out a long sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, twelve war swords appeared before him. They were entirely dark golden, without a trace of any other color, appearing very ordinary, very plain, as if they were just twelve mundane weapons.
Yet, these were Ye Chen's twelve Metal Monarch Rules. Apart from two that took shape when he became a Quasi-Monarch, the rest were condensed by refining the entire eighth-level Dark Gold Dao Star.
In one year, condensing ten Metal Monarch Rules was undeniably pleasing.
One must know that even Quasi-Monarchs found it difficult to cultivate Monarch Rules. Early-stage Quasi-Monarchs basically only had one or two. Only at the mid-stage could they reach seven or eight. The late stage had over a dozen. It was extremely arduous.
But relying on the eighth-level Dark Gold Dao Star, refining its star core, extracting all the Metal Great Dao power from the entire star, he had forcefully condensed ten Metal Monarch Rules. This speed would absolutely drive all Quasi-Monarchs mad, making them want to shatter Dao Stars one by one to condense Monarch Rules.
However, even after condensing ten Metal Monarch Rules in a year, Ye Chen knew there was still an enormous gap between him and a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
A Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch not only completely transformed their origin heaven and earth into an origin world, possessing the full power of a world, but more importantly, the number of Monarch Rules they mastered was several times greater than that of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, reaching hundreds. It was truly earth-shattering.
Ye Chen, relying on being a Chaos Supreme Body, an unprecedented Great Perfection Supreme Talent ten-tribulation Divine King who advanced to Quasi-Monarch, and possessing an origin universe—the highest-level world heaven and earth—only managed to transform all his semi-rule Divine King Spirits into Monarch Rules upon advancing to Quasi-Monarch. And not just one, but two or three, truly possessing combat power comparable to the peak of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch.
But even so, there was still a vast gap to reach the level of a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Fortunately, the Emperor Star Secret Realm existed, and he was a Chaos cultivator, capable of cultivating all ten thousand Daos. It was just that outside the forty-nine major Daos, condensing Monarch Rules would be slightly slower.
But it didn't matter. Ye Chen could wait.
This was the best cultivation ground for him to become a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
