Relying on absolute strength, Ye Chen trod upon the Chaos Great Dao, leading the Human Race's Heaven's Prides in an unstoppable advance.
During this time, he also had A Beinu, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Will, Di Wuming, and others take action, slaying one powerful expert after another from the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Great World. They could obtain rich and pure Great Dao divine energy, slowly yet powerfully enhancing themselves.
These were existences constructed by Supreme Ones, containing vast Great Dao power, and even possessing a trace of genuine Supreme Power.
Such external power held little harm for them. On the contrary, once completely refined, it could even be greatly beneficial. Because if they could thoroughly comprehend this trace of Supreme Power, they might even gain a certain degree of insight into the Supreme realm.
Although Di Wushuang, Di Wuming, Shen Rong, and others were all Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters with genuine Supreme inheritances, they had been young and their cultivation realms shallow when they previously followed their Supreme Emperor fathers, making it difficult to perceive that level of Supreme Power.
It was akin to how mortals cannot comprehend the Saintly Dao Laws of Saints.
The gap was too vast, preventing them from perceiving the supreme mysteries of the Supreme domain.
Now, however, they were all Divine Kings, having traveled far on the Divine King path, approaching the Quasi-Monarch domain. Naturally, they could gradually begin to perceive some of the true mysteries of the Supreme realm.
Therefore, long-term contemplation of such Supreme Power would naturally be of great benefit for their future advancement into the Supreme domain.
During this time, Yu Qing also took action, dealing with Quasi-Monarch level experts from the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Great World.
She was a Late Stage Quasi-Monarch, her strength powerful enough to completely suppress Early and Mid Stage Quasi-Monarchs. In battle, she could usually resolve a Quasi-Monarch within three hundred rounds.
And that was under normal circumstances. Under special circumstances, utilizing all her Monarch Rules, she could even resolve one within a mere ten rounds.
However, employing Monarch Rules in such a manner consumed a tremendous amount of power, so under normal circumstances, even Quasi-Monarchs dared not lightly use their Monarch Rules.
Thus, along the way, Yu Qing successively slew three Quasi-Monarchs, receiving massive divine energy grants and even obtaining seventeen Monarch Rules.
Before long, Ye Chen and his group took the lead, charging first towards the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent.
Naturally, the experts from the Ultimate Ancient Domain and the Supreme Ancient Domain were unwilling to fall behind, each displaying astonishing strength to charge forward. Among them, several of the strongest Heaven's Prides at the Quasi-Monarch level took the lead.
They all displayed astonishing strength, each nearly overwhelming their opponents.
Even when facing Quasi-Monarch level obstruction, they did not slow down in the slightest. On the contrary, they charged forward with even more astonishing speed, directly revealing their trump cards, undoubtedly delivering a massive impact to those obstructing Quasi-Monarchs.
Roar—
At the world's center, on the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent, the colossal figure submerged in boundless black mist roared towards the heavens, the sound of clanking chains coming from its body.
Vaguely, one could see numerous Great Dao chains dancing along with the colossal figure, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The four Vast Firmament Divine Pillars at this moment emitted powerful sealing power, rushing towards that colossal black figure to seal and suppress it, causing the earth-shaking roar to grow much lower...
Boom—
At the world's center, at the location of the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent, a Chaos Great Dao traversed the sky, and Ye Chen's group was the first to appear here.
Around the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent, there were numerous majestic divine cities suspended in the air, guarding this place.
Beside the four Vast Firmament Pillars that reached the heavens, astonishingly powerful auras also existed. A full eighteen Quasi-Monarchs had appeared.
Moreover, four of them were at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level, while the other fourteen were all Late Stage Quasi-Monarchs.
Eighteen top-tier Quasi-Monarch experts surrounded the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent, forming an absolute encirclement that seemed impossible to break through.
"This trial left by the four Supreme Ones is truly somewhat difficult. There are actually four Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs, and the rest are all Late Stage Quasi-Monarchs," the Human Race's Heaven's Prides all smiled bitterly. Even with Ye Chen present, it wouldn't work. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't simultaneously deal with four Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs.
Let alone fourteen Late Stage Quasi-Monarchs.
This lineup was such that even a heaven-defying Quasi-Monarch wouldn't dare claim they could definitely break through.
And the most powerful Great Emperor reincarnation body was not present here.
Ye Chen said, "No need to worry too much. Competing for the Supreme Secret Realm has never been just about us. Others will inevitably take action as well. They're here."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the other Quasi-Monarch experts from the two great ancient domain worlds also arrived one after another. Sensing the number and fearsomeness of the Quasi-Monarchs guarding the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent, every one of them changed expression.
Ye Chen said, "To compete for the Supreme Divine Crown, one must break through the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Divine Pillars; otherwise, entry is impossible. I will deal with one Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. The other three will be left to you to handle."
The experts from the two great ancient domain worlds did not object. Given the current situation, this was the most feasible method.
The five Ancient Path Overlords from the Ultimate Ancient Domain looked at Ye Chen with suspicion. "Can you handle a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch?"
Although Ye Chen had recently displayed astonishing strength, even instantly killing eight Quasi-Monarchs, those were ordinary Quasi-Monarchs. Moreover, the chaos mist had obscured everything, making it impossible for anyone to clearly see what had happened, hence their doubt.
"I can," Ye Chen said.
Hearing this, the five Ancient Path Overlords took a deep look at Ye Chen, a trace of shock flickering in their eyes, but they were decisive. They turned and walked towards the other Vast Firmament Divine Pillars, attacking from the other three pillars.
The other Quasi-Monarchs from the two great ancient domain worlds did the same, dividing the work and cooperating.
Ye Chen strode towards the foot of one of the heaven-reaching giant pillars. There, a peerless figure that looked down upon the world sat cross-legged, emanating an aura of flawless, perfected Quasi-Monarch power. A world heaven and earth flickered around him. Across his legs lay a divine sword that hummed and buzzed, releasing boundless sword intent.
This was an elder, seemingly aged but terrifyingly powerful. At the very least, the intensity of his battle intent far surpassed that of countless other experts.
This was a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, and moreover, a Sword Dao Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch!
Behind him stood three other top-tier experts at the Late Stage Quasi-Monarch level.
One Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch and three Late Stage Quasi-Monarchs—this was the lineup guarding the Vast Firmament Divine Pillar. It was indeed terrifying!
Seeing Ye Chen's approach, the leading Sword Dao Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch swept a glance over him and said coldly, "Young man, what is suppressed within the Four Extremities Vast Firmament continent is a generation-spanning peerless Heavenly Demon, terrifying beyond measure. It was personally suppressed by a Supreme One and must not be released, or it will cause a great calamity, bringing disaster to the world. You all should leave quickly, or do not blame this old man for showing no mercy."
