During this time, Ye Chen deliberately created some sounds of battle, preventing others from knowing the fight had long ended. Otherwise, he would be isolated, and others would become even more wary of him, which would be unfavorable for competing for the Supreme Divine Crown.
Although Ye Chen feared nothing, he did not wish to stir up unnecessary trouble.
The process of refining these Monarch Rules proceeded smoothly. They were all ownerless Monarch Rules, and Ye Chen was already quite adept at it.
However, what was most peculiar was that these Monarch Rules also contained a trace of Supreme power, making him quite wary. He did not dare be careless, resorting to burning and refining them repeatedly with Chaos Primordial Fire.
Sure enough, during the process of refining these Monarch Rules, Ye Chen discovered that they emitted wisps of a special aura—carrying the aura of a Supreme One, as well as an ominous aura—causing his heart to slightly tighten.
"Indeed, these Monarch Rules cannot be refined lightly, or the consequences would be severe," Ye Chen sneered. "However, those Supreme Ones hoping to use others to seize the Immortal Fate have little chance before me."
"Unfortunately, I cannot fully refine all these Monarch Rules in a short time. I can only refine a few, which doesn't significantly boost my strength. Otherwise, raising the number to three hundred Monarch Rules would bring me even closer to the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level."
During this period, Ye Chen also secretly assisted the human Heaven's Prides, killing that Late Stage Quasi-Monarch and a large number of Divine King-level guardians. Vast amounts of divine energy poured into their bodies, causing their auras to rise steadily, drawing ever closer to the Quasi-Monarch realm.
As for the Monarch Rules, they were channeled into Yu Qing's body, also entering multiple layers of seals to be refined together in the future.
Yu Qing even seized this opportunity to kill a Late Stage Quasi-Monarch guardian, receiving a large grant of divine energy and Monarch Rules.
It was only then that Ye Chen dispersed the Chaos Mist, indicating the end of the battle.
At the other three Vast Firmament Divine Pillars, extremely fierce battles were still raging.
Clearly, the powerhouses from the two ancient domain worlds did not fear those Late Stage Quasi-Monarchs, but the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs gave them quite a headache, imposing great pressure.
If not for these Quasi-Monarch-level strongest Heaven's Prides possessing extraordinary methods, they would have been defeated long ago. How could they have held out until this point?
However, to break through, it was evident they still needed to spend some more time.
At that moment, a silver moon descended, blooming with resplendent moonlight as it fell from the sky.
There, an ethereal figure walked step by step from the distant sky, bathed in silver moonlight, holding an Autumn Water Divine Sword, directly charging towards one of the Vast Firmament Divine Pillars.
Whoosh—
Like a bright moon descending, it arrived with the power to shatter the Nine Heavens, sending a Late Stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse from that Vast Firmament Divine Pillar flying backward, his body covered in cracks, severely wounded.
"Silver Moon Divine King!"
The powerhouses from the Supreme Ancient Domain side were all astonished.
Boom—
At that moment, the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch guarding that Vast Firmament Divine Pillar made a move. A giant axe that could split the heavens cleaved down, over a hundred Monarch Rules flashing, forcing Shen Dizi, Tai Yi, Wu Dao, and the four Quasi-Monarchs attacking that pillar to hastily retreat, sensing a deathly threat.
"Full Moon!"
Silver Moon Divine King's voice was clear and cold as water, softly uttering the words. The Silver Moon Divine Sword in hand drew a full moon, colliding with the axe, also flashing with numerous Monarch Rules.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Upon collision, they were surprisingly evenly matched.
The powerhouses from the two ancient domain worlds were shocked. Was that also a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch?
Ye Chen also glanced at this person. It was likely that the Supreme One hidden within Silver Moon Divine King's body had used some means to reach this step.
Ye Chen never doubted the heaven-and-earth-penetrating abilities of a Supreme One. Wasn't the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Great World before them precisely evolved by a Supreme One?
On another side, a terrifying figure like an Emperor descending upon the mortal world also appeared—tall and burly, like a demon god, holding a great hammer that swelled with the wind, transforming into a towering divine mountain that explosively struck another Vast Firmament Divine Pillar, unleashing world-shaking power at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level.
The fourth Vast Firmament Divine Pillar was the same.
Suddenly, three peerless powerhouses comparable to Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs emerged, jointly attacking the remaining three Vast Firmament Divine Pillars.
This caused shock among the two ancient domain worlds.
Were there still so many hidden super powerhouses?
The Quasi-Monarch strongest Heaven's Prides from the two ancient domain worlds all wore slightly gloomy expressions, then also understood something.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over the three Vast Firmament Divine Pillars, his expression slightly grave. These Monarch Possession Bodies couldn't resist making their move after all.
But what he feared most was that there might still be some Supreme backup plans yet to appear.
Not long after, with these suspected Monarch Possession Bodies taking action, all the guardians of the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Divine Pillars were smoothly dealt with.
And Ye Chen clearly saw that those three Monarch Possession Bodies directly absorbed the over a hundred Monarch Rules of the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs without any refinement, their auras further rising.
At this moment, he also sensed that these three Monarch Possession Bodies had truly reached the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level.
As for Tai Yi, Tian Jizi, Shen Dizi, and others, they each slew a Late Stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse, receiving grants of Monarch Rules.
Naturally, their harvests were far from as immense as those of the three Monarch Possession Bodies, who directly rose to the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level.
But they could still be considered outstanding among Late Stage Quasi-Monarchs.
At this moment, Ye Chen and the three Monarch Possession Bodies exchanged glances, nodding slightly.
Regarding Ye Chen, this Chaos Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, the three Monarch Possession Bodies did not look down on him, also nodding in acknowledgment.
Swish—
Simultaneously, the four of them stepped into the range of the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Divine Pillars.
At the same time, everyone else followed and entered.
Roar—
The Heavenly Demon shrouded in billowing black mist roared towards the sky, shaking down a sky full of stars, beginning to struggle, with the sound of interwoven chains constantly resounding...
Boundless demonic might surged forth, overwhelming heaven and earth, unparalleled. Even Quasi-Monarchs would feel their scalps tingle facing it.
The demonic shadow sealed by the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Continent before them was at least a Primordial Sovereign-level existence, possibly even far more powerful.
"Be careful. I'll go first; you follow behind."
Ye Chen spoke, taking the lead to enter and explore, propping up the Tenfold Divine Halo and plunging into the Four Extremities Vast Firmament Continent.
Rumble—
Immediately, an oppressive and terrifying pressure surged forth, causing Ye Chen's figure to involuntarily pause slightly, but Chaos Light spread out, directly dissolving it.
Swish—
They saw someone take the lead to soar into the sky—a Quasi-Monarch, a Quasi-Monarch powerhouse from the Ultimate Ancient Domain—charging towards the brow of the demonic shadow as tall as the heavens, where the Supreme Divine Crown was located.
But seeing this, the others did not try to stop him; instead, they watched coldly from the sidelines.
