"Heaven-Defying Battle King!" Ye Chen instantly recognized that person's identity; it was none other than the Heaven-Defying Battle King, one of the nine Ancient Path Overlords.
Moreover, the lineage of the Heaven-Defying Battle King seemed to be natural, fated enemies of the lineage of the Battle Saint.
"As for the other three, one was peerlessly elegant like a banished immortal, one wore battle armor and wielded a Heavenly Sword, and the last was like you, shrouded in Chaos Ancient Qi."
When Void Heaven Lord mentioned the characteristics of the other three, Ye Chen immediately understood their identities: Taiyi, Huangdi, and that mysterious Chaos Overlord.
It could be said that he had faced these three Ultimate Ancient Path Overlords before, either with his true body or a divine incarnation.
He never expected that the four Ancient Path Overlords who appeared initially would be these four, each with whom he had varying degrees of enmity—truly a case of enemies crossing paths.
When mentioning these four Ultimate Ancient Path Overlords, even a Quasi-Monarch like Void Heaven Lord seemed momentarily lost in thought, recalling that experience with a thick sense of apprehension and a trace of barely perceptible fear surfacing. He said, "I dare not hide the truth. Any one of those four is stronger than me. Back then, if they hadn't been more focused on that Supreme Secret Realm, not to mention all four of them taking action, even just one of them might very well have caused me to perish with regret on the Two Realms Battlefield."
Hearing this, Earth Lord, Void Quasi-Monarch, and the other four Quasi-Monarchs were greatly shocked, their expressions changing. Clearly, they were surprised that Void Heaven Lord's evaluation of those four Ultimate Ancient Path Overlords was so high.
However, they immediately thought of the four Quasi-Monarch-level Imperial Sons and Daughters, Divine Emperor's Son, Chu Shenjun, Yu Wudi, and Huang Yao, who were at the late-stage Quasi-Monarch level.
Rumors said the nine Ultimate Ancient Path Overlords could be mentioned in the same breath as Divine Emperor's Son and the others; perhaps they were also at the late-stage Quasi-Monarch level, or even stronger.
Ye Chen and the others were not particularly surprised by this.
In fact, back when they entered the Ultimate Ancient Path, the nine Ultimate Ancient Path Overlords were all suspected to be at the peak Great Power level, or even having stepped into the God King realm.
After so many years, reaching the Quasi-Monarch domain was only natural.
What truly left Ye Chen and the others somewhat regretful was that they hadn't heard any news regarding the Goddess and others.
Void Heaven Lord looked at Ye Chen, then at the various Imperial Sons and Daughters and immortal descendants, and smiled confidently. "This time, with the Battle Saint King and the arrival of you, the strongest talents, the fourth Supreme Secret Realm will undoubtedly belong to our Supreme Ancient Domain."
...
The appearance of Ye Chen and the others drew the attention of all sides.
Especially Ye Chen, who had truly forged a formidable reputation through battle. He could even slay the Emperor Thought Body of an Ancient Emperor and suppress all Quasi-Monarchs across the heavens, hailed as the invincible one among Quasi-Monarchs.
After all, Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs were exceedingly rare, and the Supreme Ancient Domain had no existences of that level.
Divine Emperor's Son, Chu Shenjun, Yu Wudi, and Huang Yao were also conspicuously present. They glanced at Ye Chen from a distance, appearing very silent, lacking their former sharpness.
The battle that day, where Ye Chen single-handedly suppressed the combined forces of the four of them, had dealt them a massive blow.
They were supposed to be the most outstanding, peerless talents, standing at the absolute pinnacle. Who could have expected that a latecomer would catch up and even suppress them?
Boom! Rumble—
When the sun reached its zenith, the Immortal Heavenly Pass suddenly stirred. The main gate of the pass, as tall as the heavens, slowly opened, emitting tremendous fluctuations.
The Heavenly Gate opened, revealing the true face of the Two Realms Battlefield.
For the powerhouses of the Supreme Ancient Domain, it was nothing; they had seen the Two Realms Battlefield more than once, and many had entered it multiple times to participate in the battles for the Supreme Secret Realms.
But whether it was Ye Chen or the various Imperial Sons and Daughters and immortal descendants, this was their first time seeing the Two Realms Battlefield.
They could feel the vast, ancient aura rushing towards them. It was a boundless battlefield, desolate one could say, with countless crisscrossing abyssal battle scars, innumerable starry craters, shattered starry skies, and more...
"The Two Realms Battlefield, the battleground at the junction point of the two ancient domain worlds," Void Quasi-Monarch explained beside them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—
Almost the moment the Heavenly Pass gate opened, numerous powerful figures shot into it like lightning, vanishing into the Two Realms Battlefield, heading towards the location of the fourth Supreme Secret Realm.
"Let's go too!"
Ye Chen and the others also charged in.
Desolate, dead silent—these could be considered the bywords of the Two Realms Battlefield.
This was an indescribably vast land, accompanied by starry skies shattered from years of warfare. Even on the boundless, expansive earth, it was difficult to find many majestic, towering mountains; only broken, desolate land remained.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—
The moment they entered this boundless land, the auras of the various powerhouses rapidly surged, reaching astonishing levels in an extremely short time.
Ye Chen gently clenched his palm, and the void ahead collapsed over a large area.
This was just him acting casually, not employing much Quasi-Monarch might, but rather the formidable power brought by his physical body.
Others around him also easily shattered the vacuum.
Will said, "The Great Dao laws of the Two Realms Battlefield are incomplete. Or, more accurately, this is a shattered great world."
On the Two Realms Battlefield, God Kings were no longer like in the Supreme Ancient Domain, where severing stars was difficult. Here, they could almost shatter stars with a raise of their hand, their might boundless.
This differed from the suppression in the Supreme Ancient Domain. Here, there was no suppression from the imprints of the Supreme Great Daos of the heavens.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Great Dao of this Two Realms Battlefield was somewhat incomplete, thus unable to truly suppress a cultivator's cultivation.
The various powerhouses all understood this. Once they entered this place, they were like fish in water, feeling many times more agile and unimpeded.
Void Heaven Lord waved his hand, and a layer of light screen appeared. Within it was an illusory continent, vaguely seeming to have a massive light shield completely covering it, flickering with streaks of lightning.
He pointed to a corner of that illusory continent and said, "This is the Thunder Continent, an ancient continent perpetually accompanied by endless thunderbolts. According to the information obtained, the fourth Supreme Secret Realm is located here."
"Good, let's set off."
Ye Chen said.
Just as the Quasi-Monarch divine ship soared into the sky, rushing towards the Thunder Continent, the other powerhouses also transformed into streaks of extreme-speed light, similarly charging towards the Thunder Continent!
The Quasi-Monarch divine ship was extremely fast, especially on the Two Realms Battlefield, reaching astonishing speeds as it tore through the long sky.
The Two Realms Battlefield was quite vast. Powerhouses from both ancient domain worlds had suspected that this was likely a Primordial Emperor Realm or Immortal Realm that had been violently shattered, its very origin collapsed.
The Quasi-Monarch divine ship moved with great haste. In a short moment, it appeared before a massive ancient continent suspended in the firmament.
They saw this ancient continent floating in the sky, shrouded by endless dark clouds, within which dense, interweaving thunderbolts constantly crackled.
These numerous thunderbolts wove a layer of thunderous light shield outside the ancient continent, completely enveloping the entire ancient land. Each galloping thunder streak was like a thunder dragon, containing extremely terrifying power, enough to annihilate ordinary Great Powers.
This caused many powerhouses to hesitate and hold back.
During this time, a super Great Power attempted to charge in, but the thunderous light shield suddenly flared, instantly manifesting thousands of thunderbolts that surged towards that super Great Power.
Boom—
The super Great Power let out a long roar, his Great Power might erupting with light spanning billions of feet, overwhelming heaven and earth. But a thunderbolt as massive and thick as a star descended from the sky, crashing fiercely onto his body, blasting him away and blowing half his body apart.
