"Yue!"
Yu Qing was the first to charge forward, intending to block some of the external enemies for Ye Chen.
Di Wuming and the other nine Human Race Imperial Sons and Daughters immediately formed the Ten Heavens Battle Formation. With the aid of a secret technique to enhance it, their power instantly reached the level of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch as they plunged into the battlefield.
A Beinu, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Will, and Shan Ji could all be considered peak Divine Kings. Working together, they actually possessed the combat power of a Quasi-Monarch and also charged forward.
Furthermore, the five Quasi-Monarchs from the Ultimate Ancient Domain—the Earth Lord, Void Heaven Lord, the Quasi-Monarch cultivating the Void, and others—all gritted their teeth at this moment and rushed forward.
The other Quasi-Monarchs naturally didn't dare to fall behind and all intervened.
A terrifying melee at the Quasi-Monarch level was erupting.
"Scram!"
Ye Chen looked at the other Quasi-Monarchs charging over and let out a great shout. The Chaos Great Cauldron flew out, descending with billions of layers of ancient Chaos Qi, evolving into myriad worlds that rose and fell within heaven and earth. It instantly enveloped himself, Heaven's Secret Master, the demonic god-like possession body, and the others as he charged forward.
At the same time, Ye Chen fully displayed his own strength. One hundred and ninety-two Sovereign Rules manifested, instantly causing his power to surge by leaps and bounds, doubling. The might of his every punch and kick grew even more formidable.
Boom— Boom—
Heaven's Secret Master and the demonic god-like Supreme One possession body were both sent flying, blood splattering from their bodies.
"What? Nearly two hundred Sovereign Rules? How can the Battle Saint King be so powerful?"
The powerhouses from both ancient domain worlds were deeply shaken. Although they knew Ye Chen was powerful, they hadn't expected him to have already reached this level, possessing so many Sovereign Rules.
"The Supreme Divine Crown, I want it."
Ye Chen reached for the Supreme Divine Crown. A ball of Chaos Dao Fire emerged from his palm, enveloping the crown as he prepared to refine it.
Only by refining it could he take it into his body—this was also part of the information he possessed.
But at this moment, he sensed an utterly dangerous aura emerging, a level of threat not even a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch had given him.
Swish—
Instinctively, he executed the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, shifting through space with lightning speed.
His speed reached an extreme level in an instant—like a beam of light, faster than light itself—as he left the spot.
Boom—
The void where he had just been exploded, filled with endless flashes of lightning, and it was an extremely terrifying lightning carrying a thick aura of destructive power.
It was visible to the naked eye that an Early Stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse from the Ultimate Ancient Domain was merely affected by the aftermath. Rings of destructive lightning fell upon him, instantly causing the flesh of his supremely strong Quasi-Monarch battle body at the affected areas to be annihilated, and he let out a miserable scream.
If he hadn't acted decisively and immediately severed the affected flesh, he might have perished right there, shocking everyone.
Looking closely, that figure was clearly one filled with lightning, a slender and long figure—a Thunder Dragon only ten zhang long, containing the most terrifying thunder might.
Under this fearsome thunder might, even supreme powerhouses like Ye Chen and Heaven's Secret Master at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level felt an intense sense of threat.
This threat felt like facing an Ancient Monarch.
"What a terrifying feeling. This Thunder Dragon is extraordinary, seemingly even more fearsome than a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch." Many powerhouses from both ancient domain worlds changed expressions, deeply sensing that utterly threatening intent.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He felt that this Thunder Dragon harbored a covetous gaze towards him.
Or perhaps more accurately, it was coveting the Supreme Divine Crown in his hand.
Staring at this Thunder Dragon, Ye Chen felt a faint, unfamiliar sense of familiarity.
This feeling seemed familiar.
Soon, Ye Chen remembered. Looking at the Thunder Dragon, he enunciated each word clearly: "If I guess correctly, you are the thunderous light barrier covering the entire Thunder Continent. Or perhaps more accurately, you are the Great Dao power left behind by the Thunder Battle Monarch."
Hearing this, the many powerhouses from both ancient domain worlds were startled. The Thunder Dragon was actually the thunderous light barrier.
At the same time, they recalled the rumor: whoever obtained the thunderous light barrier could instantly possess the Thunder Great Dao power left by that Thunder Battle Monarch, making it their own, soaring to the heavens in one step. It wasn't impossible to even become an Ancient Monarch.
Thus, many revealed fervent gazes.
"It's that thing!?"
The Earth Lord, Void Heaven Lord, Cang Tianjun, and other Quasi-Monarchs all changed expressions, especially sensing the dangerous aura from the Thunder Dragon, which surpassed even that from Ye Chen.
"You do have some discernment. I am indeed the Great Dao power left behind by that old ghost Thunder. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that I could give birth to intelligence, becoming a completely new existence, and even learn some secrets about the Two Realms Battlefield." The Thunder Dragon spoke, not truly opening its mouth, its voice echoing out of thin air, rumbling through this stretch of heaven and earth.
It continued: "The greatest opportunity left by the Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens is right here. If I can obtain it, I can shed this thunderous body, becoming a true living being from then on. I could even ascend to become an Ancient Monarch in one step, or even that supreme, peerless Ancient Great Emperor, standing proudly above the ages."
"So, kid, you'd better hand over the Supreme Divine Crown to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and killing you."
As it spoke, the Thunder Dragon emanated immense imposing majesty, even surpassing that of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. It was clearly at the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level, shaking heaven and earth!
This nearly shattered Four Extremities Vast Cosmos Continent was completely enveloped by its terrifying majesty. Almost everyone felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance, an inability to resist—even the Quasi-Monarchs felt this way.
Though all were Quasi-Monarchs, a vague realm classification, there were still immense gaps.
Before them, this Thunder Dragon, condensed from the Great Dao power left behind after the Thunder Battle Monarch's fall, was very likely a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level existence.
An existence of that level could retreat unscathed even when facing a true Ancient Monarch; otherwise, it wouldn't live up to the title "Heaven-Defying."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, able to clearly sense the terrifying destructive intent emanating from the Thunder Dragon, far beyond imagination, capable of annihilating heaven and earth, shattering the vast cosmos.
But at this moment, Ye Chen actually felt the Supreme Treasure Silver Pearl orbiting the moon mark between his eyebrows tremble slightly, as if revealing a special emotion.
This emotion seemed like desire, like a starving man seeing delicious food.
He suddenly remembered: back in the heavenly tribulation world behind the thunderous light gate, this Supreme Treasure Silver Pearl had dared to devour all heavenly tribulation lightning. Perhaps, to the Supreme Treasure Silver Pearl, this Thunder Dragon before him was also a great nourishing substance.
Suddenly, Ye Chen smiled, speaking to the Thunder Dragon: "You really want to obtain this Supreme Divine Crown?"
"Correct. Give it to me, and I can spare your life." The Thunder Dragon threatened.
"Alright, I can give it to you."
Ye Chen gave a mocking laugh, causing many to be stunned.
Was he really willing to give up the Supreme Divine Crown?
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Chen directly flung the Supreme Divine Crown out, transforming it into a stream of light that flew over.
