Boom—
Ye Chen moved, entering the starry sky evolved from the Imperial Hall's dome. The peerless cultivation of the Chaos Quasi-Monarch erupted.
Boundless chaotic light exploded, sweeping across the heavens. Wherever it passed, all burning Dao Stars were swiftly extinguished, doused by the chaotic light instead, transforming into surges of vast Dao power that poured into Ye Chen's body and further into his inner origin universe.
These Dao Stars could continuously condense and refine Monarch Rules, but they were also pure Dao power, supplementing the Great Dao of his origin universe and promoting its growth.
Visible to the naked eye, after becoming a Quasi-Monarch, his origin universe, which had reached a diameter of three hundred thousand li, began to slowly expand once more.
Rumble—
A resplendent Chaos Great Dao extended forth, carrying the might of a Quasi-Monarch like a pillar holding up the heavens, shooting straight into the dense meteor shower.
Before him, the Azure Dragon to the left, the White Tiger to the right, the Vermilion Bird above, and the Black Tortoise below—the Four Sacred Beasts encircled his body amidst a diffuse aura of ancient chaos, accompanied by the myriad laws, as if a Heavenly Emperor was touring the world.
Without even needing to strike, he could deflect the numerous Flying Fire Dao Stars blocking his path.
Ye Chen strode forward, swiftly charging towards the location of the Emperor's Crown.
In just a short time, he had surpassed numerous Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants.
Starting later but arriving first, his astonishing speed left those he overtaken with nothing but a silent sigh, feeling quite helpless.
This was the Battle Saint King, the invincible Battle Saint King!
Seeing this scene, the other Quasi-Monarchs ahead, especially the Divine Emperor's Son and the others, changed expressions. They each took action, guiding more Flying Fire Dao Stars to bombard Ye Chen, attempting to hinder him somewhat.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort exploded. Ye Chen's speed suddenly accelerated. The Chaos Great Dao vanished, and then he executed the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, his entire body transforming into a streak of extreme light.
It was unmistakably the second realm of the Extreme Light Realm, with wisps of space-time power manifesting, vaguely causing the River of Time to almost appear.
His speed reached a shocking level. Even though the numerous flying fire meteors occupied nearly every inch of space, he could still find a path, advancing rapidly and continuously closing in on these Quasi-Monarchs who had set out first.
Boom—
Finally, he traveled shoulder to shoulder with the other Quasi-Monarchs, causing all of them to change color.
Because Ye Chen's speed was still constantly increasing, beginning to slowly surpass them.
However, at this moment, everyone had arrived beneath the Emperor's Crown, less than a hundred li away.
Such a distance was practically nothing to them.
But the Flying Fire Dao Stars that appeared here were even more terrifying. Each one was at least a seventh-grade Dao Star or higher. Colliding with them would drastically reduce even a Quasi-Monarch's speed.
Rumble—
At this moment, the Divine Emperor's Son decisively struck.
He was peerlessly domineering, wielding a Great Destruction War Halberd, his Quasi-Monarch might fully unleashed. Monarch Rules manifested one after another, dominated by the rules of the Vast Heaven, as if the Lord of the Heavens had descended to the mortal world, slashing down at Ye Chen.
At this moment, the Divine Emperor's Son's cultivation had actually reached the late-stage Quasi-Monarch level.
Generally, the late-stage Quasi-Monarch level required twenty Monarch Rules. But when the Divine Emperor's Son had clashed with Ye Chen before, he already possessed over a dozen Monarch Rules. In recent years, refining ninth-grade Vast Heaven Dao Stars had allowed him to refine several Vast Heaven Monarch Rules, long since reaching this level. Thus, his strike was terrifying from the outset.
The Great Destruction War Halberd enlarged, instantly transforming into a colossal halberd like a pillar holding up the heavens, cleaving through the starry sky as it chopped down.
Boom—
The many Flying Fire Dao Stars approaching him were torn apart by this terrifying might, exploding one after another, transforming into dazzling flames that bloomed, dotting the starry sky.
"You dare to block me?"
Ye Chen swept a cold gaze over the Divine Emperor's Son, not taking him seriously in the slightest. He slapped out a palm, numerous Metal Monarch Rules blooming, his hand transforming into a golden great hand that collided with the Great Destruction War Halberd.
Rumble—
Terrifying, peerless destructive power spread out, forming layers of ripples that not only annihilated the starry sky but also caused over a hundred Flying Fire Dao Stars near them to directly explode.
The Divine Emperor's Son's figure shook. He was actually forced to stagger backward several steps, unable to match the blow.
The Great Destruction War Halberd in his hand trembled incessantly, its light flickering unsteadily, sometimes brilliant, sometimes dim, almost flying out of his grasp.
This caused the others' pupils to constrict slightly, as if they hadn't expected Ye Chen's strength to have reached such a level.
The Divine Emperor's Son shouted, "Everyone, attack! He is not inferior to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. Individually, we are no match for him. Only by joining forces!"
Swish—
Blazing light flashed. An Immortal Phoenix of Deathlessness appeared—it was none other than Huang Yao, manifesting the phantom of an Immortal Phoenix of Deathlessness to attack Ye Chen. She wielded a pair of Immortal Phoenix Rings forged from Sunfire Crimson Gold, extremely extraordinary.
The moment she struck, it was as if the Immortal Phoenix of Deathlessness had been reborn, carrying destructive immortal flames. Monarch Rules boiled, causing the similarly burning Flying Fire Dao Stars to continuously explode, unable to approach.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to attack you just because you're suspected to be the descendant of the Southern Phoenix Female Emperor?"
Ye Chen snorted coldly, similarly slapping out a palm to collide with Huang Yao.
Boom— Boom—
Chu Shenjun and Yu Wudi appeared simultaneously. The two young Quasi-Monarchs attacked together, coordinating with Huang Yao to strike at Ye Chen.
At the same time, the Divine Emperor's Son also returned, wielding the Great Destruction War Halberd to attack Ye Chen.
The four young Quasi-Monarch-level Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants joined forces, simultaneously attacking Ye Chen.
In the Imperial Hall, the human geniuses, witnessing this scene, almost shot into the sky to aid Ye Chen.
But Yu Qing stopped them, gently shaking her head.
She desired to aid Ye Chen more than anyone, but at this moment, she also chose to believe in him.
Ye Chen was invincible. Even if four young Quasi-Monarchs joined forces, they could not be his match. He could crush them all.
"Joining forces against me? I never thought the four of you would actually team up?"
A cold laugh, seemingly mocking the Divine Emperor's Son, Chu Shenjun, and the others for their alliance, caused the four to change expressions. But at this moment, they were all resolute, knowing that aside from this, there was no other means to contend against the Battle Saint King.
The four elevated their auras to the utmost.
But how could Ye Chen be an ordinary individual? He was a Chaos Quasi-Monarch. In the past, he could rival the Tai Cang Quasi-Monarch, let alone now. After refining multiple Metal Monarch Rules, his strength had also greatly increased.
Rumble—
Ye Chen's entire body erupted with brilliant golden light, the chaotic light receding as if he had restored his former Battle Saint Body. But his entire form was covered with boundless Great Dao patterns, the result of Metal Monarch Rules interweaving across his body, making him resemble a Golden War God.
He alone engaged the four young Quasi-Monarchs in battle—and they were all late-stage Quasi-Monarchs.
This patch of starry sky was directly torn apart and shattered. Flying fire meteors that hadn't even truly arrived were affected by the terrifying fluctuations and directly exploded.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
During this time, Ye Chen utilized his true Chaos Quasi-Monarch combat power—that peerless combat power belonging to the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level—to sweep through everything.
Numerous Monarch Rules danced, interweaving all over his body. Ye Chen was like the Lord of the Myriad Daos. Chaotic light erupted once more as he struck out like a Chaos War God.
In an instant, they collided thousands of times, each collision extremely terrifying, capable of easily annihilating Divine Kings.
During this period, the four Quasi-Monarchs were repeatedly forced back, their figures sent flying. Even with four joining forces, they were no match for Ye Chen.
"Even if you join forces, you are no match for me." Ye Chen said lightly, a martial will that suppressed all heavens naturally radiating from him.
He was peerless and unmatched, employing terrifying methods to dominate the current era, sweeping through the four Quasi-Monarchs, sending their figures flying backward. Each coughed up blood, no match for Ye Chen.
The whole world was shocked!
The Battle Saint King was actually so invincible, suppressing four Quasi-Monarch-level Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants.
However, Ye Chen did not press his advantage, because he saw several other Quasi-Monarchs take action. Seizing the moment they were engaged in battle, they flashed towards the Emperor's Crown.
If he delayed even a moment longer, the Emperor's Crown would likely fall into the hands of these Quasi-Monarchs.
"Hmph!"
Ye Chen naturally would not allow this to happen. The Hengyu Quasi-Monarch appeared, directly transforming into the Time Beast.
Although only at the early-stage Quasi-Monarch level, the Time Beast was renowned throughout the world for its mastery of the Time Great Dao.
Swish—
Ye Chen mounted the Time Beast and said, "Go!"
Roar—
The Time Beast let out a long roar, wisps of Time Light erupting from its body, combining with the space-time power on Ye Chen's body.
Boom—
Instantly, the power of the Space-Time Great Dao and the Time Great Dao merged, achieving a world-shaking speed. In a flash, he disappeared. Even the Divine Emperor's Son and the others could hardly react before Ye Chen vanished.
In just a few breaths, he broke through the obstruction of the numerous Flying Fire Dao Stars.
Ye Chen suddenly appeared at the location of the Emperor's Crown, mere inches away, within reach, faster than any other Quasi-Monarch.
"Not good!"
The Lord of the Earth, Void Heavenly Monarch, and the other Quasi-Monarchs all changed expressions. They hadn't expected the Battle Saint King to still be able to catch up at this moment, starting later but arriving first, beating them to the prize.
But at this moment, they could only watch helplessly as the Battle Saint King reached out to grab the Emperor's Crown.
Ye Chen's great hand grabbed, landing on the light sphere surrounding the Emperor's Crown. Instantly, he felt a terrifying resistance at work.
The billion-zhang Primal Holy Light transformed into layers of terrifying resistance, repelling his great hand's grasp. Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen was repelled, slowed down for a single breath.
At this time, the other Quasi-Monarchs all flashed over to contend for it.
"Break for me!"
Ye Chen let out a great shout, his eyes shooting open!
Who was he? He was a generation's Chaos Quasi-Monarch, not inferior to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch.
His palm erupted with terrifying power. Numerous Monarch Rules instantly manifested, immediately tearing through the layers of Primal Holy Light, finally landing steadily on the Emperor's Crown and grabbing it firmly.
Rumble—
The moment his hand grasped the Emperor's Crown, instantly, heaven and earth fell into stillness.
Whether it was the Flying Fire Dao Stars, the Quasi-Monarchs charging over, or the various powerhouses in the Imperial Hall, all fell into space-time stasis. Only he alone could move, unrestricted.
The boundless Primal Holy Light erupting from the Emperor's Crown instantly transformed into an immense, boundless figure, vaster and more majestic than the entire starry sky, profound and towering, proudly overlooking all heavens.
An Emperor's Shadow!
