As those powerful auras erupted from the horizon, the gazes of everyone between heaven and earth swiftly shifted, looking toward the locations where the auras successively exploded.
Soon, under the stunned gazes of all, figures that wantonly radiated terrifying auras rapidly appeared from the horizon. These figures ultimately stepped on the void and landed behind Ye Chen.
These figures numbered several dozen, without exception, all were supreme powerhouses at the Divine King realm.
However, the most eye-catching were the seven at the forefront—one woman and six men. The aura emanating from them far surpassed the others by many times, carrying faint threads of Sovereign heavenly might. They, too, shockingly unleashed astonishing Quasi-Monarch auras that swept across the firmament, colliding with the six Quasi-Monarch auras of the Soul-Restraining Hall. A rumbling, thunderous roar echoed incessantly.
"Quasi-Monarchs!"
"Seven Quasi-Monarchs!"
Watching the seven Quasi-Monarchs and numerous Divine Kings who had suddenly arrived behind the Battle Saint King, many people couldn't help but swallow hard. Such a lineup, which could be called extremely luxurious and formidable, was in no way inferior to the Soul-Restraining Hall's.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over the ugly expressions on the faces of the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall and the three Ancient Path Overlords, and he gave a cold laugh. "Reinforcements? You have them, and naturally, so do I."
"Damn it!" The Third Hall Master of Earth Hall couldn't help but curse. The deep green flames beneath his black robe flickered incessantly, revealing the emotional turmoil within his heart.
Not to mention the three Ancient Path Overlords, whose expressions were as gloomy as water.
The situation, which had been reversed with great difficulty and had even gained an absolute upper hand, had once again been overturned by the Battle Saint King.
The numerous terrifying powerhouses who had suddenly appeared included not only Quasi-Monarchs but also, below the Quasi-Monarch level, uniformly high-level Divine Kings, among whom were even Peak Divine Kings.
Looking at these several terrifying powerhouses wantonly radiating overwhelming auras, each far surpassing the Divine King realm, the world fell into a deep silence.
Many ancient path prodigies swallowed their saliva.
Because most of these several dozen figures were quite young, no different from them, clearly belonging to the same generation. Even if there were some differences, they were not great, yet each had reached such heights—truly unbelievable.
They also couldn't believe where the Battle Saint King had found so many super prodigies.
Such a force was not inferior to the ancient path overlord factions, and was even considerably stronger.
"Yu Qing!"
Especially when they saw that green-clad graceful figure among the leading Quasi-Monarchs, the Goddess, Yi Wu, and Chen'er were overjoyed. They hadn't expected Yu Qing to have been resurrected and to have reached the late-stage Quasi-Monarch level, the same as the ancient path overlords.
They also saw other familiar figures, such as the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, such as Weier, such as Ye Cangqiong and other human imperial sons and daughters, all bringing great joy.
"Sister Jingruo, Sister Yi Wu, Sister Chen'er, Yaya, Xiao Long..." The only female Quasi-Monarch among the seven Quasi-Monarchs was naturally Yu Qing, a stunningly beautiful woman whose looks, talent, and cultivation were in no way inferior to the Goddess's, delicate and moving, her green clothes like a lotus. At this moment, she could hardly conceal the surprise and excitement in her heart.
Beside her, A Beinu looked somewhat nervously at the Goddess and the others, like a daughter-in-law visiting her in-laws' home for the first time, shy and timid, different from her usual cold elegance.
But now was not the time for a reunion, as facing the great enemy before them was most important.
Ye Chen looked at the Soul-Restraining Hall's experts, and especially at the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall and the three Ancient Path Overlords, and said with a faint smile, "Sorry to disappoint you."
The Third Hall Master of Earth Hall snorted coldly. "Battle Saint King, don't celebrate too soon. So what if a few Quasi-Monarchs have arrived? I alone am enough to deal with you. The other Quasi-Monarchs have their respective opponents, but the three Ancient Path Overlords cannot be held off by just one Goddess."
Hearing this, the Goddess and the others grew quite worried.
The three Ancient Path Overlords were truly a huge threat.
But Yu Qing and the others remained expressionless, instead looking at the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall with full mockery, giving the Soul-Restraining Hall's experts a strange illusion, as if Ye Chen and the others were looking at the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall as if he were a fool.
Ye Chen glanced at the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall and raised an eyebrow. "You think you can stop me?"
"What do you mean by that?" The Third Hall Master of Earth Hall was also angered. This attitude clearly looked down on him—how could he tolerate it?
As fellow Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs, the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall had absolute confidence. Even if the Battle Saint King was also a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, they were at most evenly matched.
At the same time, the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall fully released his Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch aura. Over a hundred Sovereign rules materialized, and a Death Scythe appeared in his hand as he charged forward, sneering coldly. "Today, no matter what, you, the Battle Saint King, and the Moon Hall are destined to become the prey of my Soul-Restraining Hall."
Whoosh—
That terrifying Death Scythe flashed with a pitch-black light. It did not erupt with dreadful power, but that was precisely what made it most terrifying, because all its power was restrained. Only an extremely fine black crack appeared in the void, and with a tearing sound, it slashed straight toward Ye Chen.
Extremely fast!
Even a Quasi-Monarch might not react in time!
The ultimate speed of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch!
Facing the slash of the Death Scythe, Ye Chen raised his head, watching as the Death Scythe fell before him.
"No—"
The Goddess and the others cried out in alarm. Others also thought Ye Chen hadn't reacted and couldn't dodge.
"Die, Battle Saint King!" The Third Hall Master of Earth Hall wore a ruthless, deathly sneer as the Death Scythe directly swept down.
Clang—
But the next moment, everyone was horrified to discover that the Death Scythe had been blocked.
Right in front of Ye Chen, a faint Chaos Light Ring suddenly appeared, enveloping his body. No matter how fearsome the Death Scythe was, carrying the terrifying power of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, it was useless. It was firmly blocked outside the Chaos Light Ring, unable to advance a single step further.
"Is this what you call your strength?" Ye Chen said coldly.
"Impossible!"
Not only the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall, but everyone else was dumbfounded. The Third Hall Master of Earth Hall, also a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, had attacked yet couldn't break through the Battle Saint King's Chaos Light Ring defense?
This shouldn't be!
Ye Chen said coldly, "Let me tell you, even among Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs, there is a vast gap."
Boom—
Ye Chen spun and swept out a whip kick. With a thunderous crash, the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall was struck as if by lightning and sent flying.
The black robe covering his entire body exploded, turning into countless fluttering butterfly fragments, revealing his true form. It was shockingly emaciated, his entire body skin and bones, extremely eerie, like a pile of bones that made one's scalp tingle upon seeing it.
This skin-and-bones figure was the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall, a super powerhouse at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level.
However, within the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall's glabella, a heaven-shaking soul light flickered, no less than a vast ocean. Within it, the faint sounds of Great Dao chains could be heard, clattering and rustling.
