After another clash, Nine Netherworlds' figure flickered as he retreated ten thousand miles away. He turned to leave, snorting coldly, "Battle Saint King, consider yourself lucky today. This Hall Master cannot do anything to you. Let's go!"
Continuing to fight would be a waste of time; it was better to leave early.
The observing major powers were all astonished. The Soul-Restraining Hall had mobilized such a large-scale legion, even deploying a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch like Nine Netherworlds, yet they still couldn't do anything to Moon Hall.
After this battle, Moon Hall would completely dominate the Ultimate Ancient Domain, becoming the number one power.
"You can't do anything to me, but does that mean I can't do anything to you?" Ye Chen's voice suddenly rang out.
Nine Netherworlds turned back, glaring furiously at Ye Chen. Both were Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs, at the very peak of the Quasi-Monarch realm. Who could possibly kill the other?
"Myriad Eons Turn to Void!"
Ye Chen let out a great shout, suddenly unleashing a heaven-defying Forbidden Divine Ability. With one execution of Myriad Eons Turn to Void, the Ten Thousand Daos receded, causing Nine Netherworlds to instantly lose all sense of the Ten Thousand Daos' power, unable to operate their laws.
This was the Forbidden Divine Ability of the Primordial Times Human Emperor, hailed as one of the most terrifying divine abilities throughout the ages.
"The Forbidden Divine Ability of the Sealing World Human Emperor! How do you know it?" Nine Netherworlds' expression changed drastically. At this moment, he couldn't use the laws of the Ten Thousand Daos. The only power he could mobilize was his origin world power. Vast world power surged around him, transforming into layer upon layer of defensive shields.
Because in this state, his strength was only half of his peak condition, putting him at a great disadvantage.
He could only defend himself to the greatest extent possible.
Under the effect of Myriad Eons Turn to Void, Ye Chen remained completely unaffected, still possessing the peak combat power of a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. He stepped forward, clenching his fist seal, and directly unleashed the Universe-Creating Chaos Small Universe. It combined over four hundred Sovereign Rules, world might, and a strand of origin universe power—three forces fused within, reaching the most extreme power of his life.
The Chaos Small Universe, capable of creating heaven and earth, heavily struck Nine Netherworlds.
Boom—!
The thousands of defensive shields formed from world power were easily disintegrated and shattered by the Chaos Small Universe, which finally landed on Nine Netherworlds himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immeasurable waves of universe might crashed onto Nine Netherworlds. The black robe he wore had long since exploded into nothingness.
At the same time, a strange, pitch-black battle armor instantly appeared, covering almost every inch of his body, even completely enveloping his head.
One could imagine that battle armor chosen and worn by a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch like Nine Netherworlds was definitely a treasure-grade armor, no ordinary item. Perhaps not even a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch could necessarily break through it.
But under the Chaos Small Universe, this seemingly indestructible armor quickly developed numerous fine cracks, unable to withstand the vast, peerless might of the Chaos Small Universe. The sound of cracking was incessant.
"Universe—Great Annihilation!"
Ye Chen coldly uttered these words. The Chaos Small Universe suddenly entered the stage of great annihilation.
An unprecedented destructive power was released. The Chaos Small Universe collapsed and condensed, giving rise to a massive black hole brimming with the purest destructive force.
Boom—!
Under this universe-destroying power, the indestructible pitch-black battle armor lasted less than a moment before completely exploding, scattering into countless fragments.
Nine Netherworlds was covered in blood, letting out a shrill scream as he clearly sensed an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis felt as if it could truly kill him.
Even when facing pursuit by an Ancient Monarch on the Ultimate Ancient Path in the past, he had never felt like this.
Pfft—!
Blood light danced. Nine Netherworlds shrieked miserably.
The universe-destroying power wantonly annihilated the vitality of every inch of his flesh and blood, along with his divine soul power.
Boom—!
Finally, Nine Netherworlds was utterly shattered, completely exploding.
Both his physical body and divine soul were blown apart.
Boom—!
Heaven-defying life force revived, initiating a reorganization. Nine Netherworlds reappeared.
Form and spirit remained indestructible!
At this level, truly killing a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch was incredibly difficult. Even when facing a true Ancient Monarch, they could retreat unscathed, let alone Ye Chen who hadn't yet reached the Ancient Monarch level. Killing Nine Netherworlds was very unrealistic. Only by unleashing a Forbidden Divine Ability like the Universe-Creating Chaos Small Universe could he heavily injure Nine Netherworlds.
But executing a Forbidden Divine Ability also consumed an enormous amount of essence, energy, and spirit.
Although Nine Netherworlds had reorganized his form and spirit, it was clear that his essence, energy, and spirit had plummeted many times over, becoming extremely dim. At this moment, he might only be comparable to an ordinary Quasi-Monarch.
Moreover, Nine Netherworlds distinctly felt signs of cracking within his origin world heart. His world had collapsed by more than half, filling him with terror.
If his origin world were destroyed, even as a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, he could never become a true Ancient Monarch.
Ye Chen frowned as he looked at Nine Netherworlds, sighing inwardly. Truly worthy of being a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. It really was too difficult to truly kill one.
Nine Netherworlds shot an extremely wary glance at Ye Chen. Without another word, he soared into the sky, plunging into the Dark Hall. Instantly, the Dark Hall erupted with vast Sovereign heavenly might—he actually intended to use this palace-type Sovereign indestructible weapon.
Ye Chen took out the Four-Colored Supreme Divine Crown. Behind him, a vast world phantom appeared—precisely the Four Extremities Vast World, this Supreme secret realm contained within the Supreme Divine Crown.
He activated it. Possessing a Supreme secret realm, he was not the least bit afraid of the opponent's Dark Hall.
Nine Netherworlds also knew this. He had no choice but to issue the order for all Soul-Restraining Hall experts to return to the Dark Hall and for the army to retreat.
Watching the Soul-Restraining Hall army plunge into the Dark Hall and quickly withdraw, Ye Chen did not order the Moon Hall army to pursue, allowing them to leave.
Once the Dark Hall vanished through the void, Ye Chen suddenly swayed, about to topple from the starry sky.
"Yue!"
The Goddess and Yu Qing were the first to rush over, catching Ye Chen.
The Moon Hall experts also hurriedly charged over, looking nervously at the unconscious Ye Chen.
Seeing this scene, the various powers outside the battlefield grew restless. This was a prime opportunity to eliminate the Battle Saint King. The other Ancient Path overlords were watching covetously, unlikely to let it pass easily.
Especially since he still possessed several Supreme Divine Crowns, coveted by the Quasi-Monarchs of the Ultimate Ancient Domain as well.
Boom—!
Soon, Ye Chen regained consciousness. His blood energy erupted, vast and mighty, sweeping across the eight directions, causing all those with covetous gazes to immediately retract their looks, not daring to meet his eyes directly.
A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Moreover, he had just defeated the First Hall Master of Earth Hall, a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. No one believed the current Battle Saint King lacked the capability to slay a Quasi-Monarch.
Surrounded by Moon Hall's experts, Ye Chen returned to Moon God Mountain. Countless Moon Hall experts formed layers upon layers of protection, tightly encircling the central Moon Hall area, guarding the Lord of Moon Hall.
"Yue, are you alright?"
Beside him, his family asked with concern. No one had expected Ye Chen to suddenly collapse just now, causing everyone to worry.
On the central main seat of Moon Hall, Ye Chen leaned back against it, his complexion still somewhat pale. At this moment, he shook his head.
Swish—!
A flash of light, and Yaya appeared. Observing her aura, she had clearly also reached the Quasi-Monarch level.
It was evident that these three years following Ye Chen had granted her a great opportunity; otherwise, she wouldn't have become a Quasi-Monarch so quickly.
Yaya said, "Don't worry. Dad just overexerted himself."
