This was the Sealed Boundary Universe. Any living being born within the Sealed Boundary Universe could receive a certain degree of empowerment from the Universe Origin, making their Dao might even more formidable.
Conversely, beings from other Chaos Ancient Universes would suffer a certain degree of suppression.
With one side waxing and the other waning, the Quasi-Monarchs of the Sealed Boundary Universe side were stronger than the Quasi-Monarchs of the Alien Ancient Universe.
It was just that this was the edge of the universe, where the empowerment from the Universe Origin wasn't very strong. Otherwise, at the center of the universe, the place closest to the Universe Origin, the empowerment on such a main battlefield could at least double one's strength, even increase it several times over!
But even here, it could still increase one's strength by ten percent!
Conversely, the alien army here would generally suffer a ten percent suppression of their strength.
"That's right, this is the territory of my Sealed Boundary Universe, the main battlefield. How dare you alien races invade? You're truly seeking death!"
The Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch sneered coldly. The Sky-Supporting Column in his hand instantly enlarged, stretching a hundred thousand li, piercing into the heavens, carrying a rolling Quasi-Monarch might as it blasted towards the alien Quasi-Monarch.
Buzz—
A pitch-black divine feather flew out, descending from the sky, blocking the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch's Sky-Supporting Column and protecting the alien Quasi-Monarch.
At this moment, a man as elegant as jade walked over slowly, more beautiful than a woman.
Two horns grew on his forehead, one as black as ink, the other as silver-white as snow.
An aura of evil and sacredness rippled from his body. Between his slender fingers, whiter than mutton-fat jade, he held a pitch-black divine feather. It was he who had just made a move.
Judging by his aura, he was clearly also a Quasi-Monarch, and even stronger than the alien Quasi-Monarch who had been blasted away.
"Your Highness Xian Tu."
Seeing the appearance of this young Quasi-Monarch who coexisted with both immortal and evil auras, the alien Quasi-Monarch holding the Dao Tower immediately bowed respectfully. It was evident that this young Quasi-Monarch held an extraordinarily high status among the alien race.
The young Quasi-Monarch named Xian Tu had a left eye shimmering with immortal light and a right eye dark as a demon's. He nodded indifferently, then looked towards the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch, instantly putting the Quasi-Monarch wielding the Sky-Supporting Column on high alert. He could sense that the aura emanating from Xian Tu far surpassed that of the previous alien Quasi-Monarch.
"Although there is the main battlefield empowerment, boosting your combat power by ten percent, it's useless. In the end, you are still too weak."
Xian Tu spoke coldly, waving the dark divine feather towards the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch.
Boom—
Like a peerless divine sword forged from Abyssal Black Gold, a pitch-black sword radiance instantly traversed the vast sky, mighty and imposing, slashing towards the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch.
The latter immediately felt a great threat and hurriedly used the Sky-Supporting Column to block.
Boom—
The Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch was immediately blasted from the sky down to the ground, smashing a ten-thousand-li crater, raising clouds of dust.
It was visible to the naked eye that a deep sword mark had appeared on the Sky-Supporting Column, a Quasi-Monarch battle weapon, almost cleaving the weapon in two with a single slash.
The Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, severely wounded.
He had heavily injured a Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch in a single encounter, showing just how powerful this Xian Tu was. Though both were Quasi-Monarchs, he far surpassed the others.
"So strong!"
The other Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarchs immediately changed expressions. Such formidable strength far exceeded that of ordinary Quasi-Monarchs.
"Be careful, he possesses the strength of a late-stage Quasi-Monarch," a Quasi-Monarch transmitted a voice message as a warning.
Swish—
Xian Tu attacked again, wielding the dark divine feather to slash out nine sword radiances. They all pierced through the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch's limbs and internal organs, sealing everything. Moreover, the sword radiances materialized, nailing the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch firmly to the ground, unable to move.
"Die!"
Xian Tu made his move. The dark divine feather slashed out a tenth dark sword radiance. This dark sword radiance stabbed towards the space between the eyebrows of the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch, targeting his Quasi-Monarch soul, aiming to completely kill him on the spot.
Seeing this scene, the other seven Quasi-Monarchs of the Sealed Boundary Universe naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. They hurriedly moved to block.
However, at this moment, the dozen or so alien Quasi-Monarchs immediately attacked. Terrifying assaults thunderously blasted towards the seven Sealed Boundary Universe Quasi-Monarchs, repelling them in a sorry state.
Pfft—
The dark sword radiance pierced into the space between the eyebrows of the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch.
Boom—
The Quasi-Monarch soul was split in two.
Of course, a Quasi-Monarch's vitality was extremely tenacious; it couldn't be killed with a single strike. But the dark sword radiance contained an extremely terrifying power, inflicting a dreadful wound on the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch's Quasi-Monarch soul, directly weakening it by a large margin. A shrill scream was emitted.
It could be foreseen that just three more dark sword radiances, and even someone as powerful as a Quasi-Monarch would perish.
The seven Sealed Boundary Universe Quasi-Monarchs could only watch this happen, powerless.
Not only were they blocked by the dozen or so alien Quasi-Monarchs, but even if they hadn't been blocked, they might not have been a match for this alien Quasi-Monarch named Xian Tu.
"What should we do?"
The seven Sealed Boundary Universe Quasi-Monarchs wore ugly expressions, yet they were powerless.
"Why haven't the Ancient Monarchs of our Ancient Universe arrived yet?"
They were also anxious in their hearts. If the Ancient Monarchs didn't come, how could they block the enemy?
Probably all the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarchs present would be killed one by one.
Pfft— Pfft—
Xian Tu slashed out two dark sword radiances in succession, landing on the space between the eyebrows of the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch, tearing his soul apart three times in a row. Then, the dark sword radiance reappeared, about to slash out a fourth time.
Rumble—
Suddenly, a massive pillar of light shot over from the boundless Chaos Sea, incredibly fast, carrying a mighty and boundless space-time power. It passed through the breach in the defensive heavenly curtain, causing the numerous alien warriors who had entered the breach to be utterly annihilated, exploding on the spot. It charged straight towards the Tenth Emperor's Pass.
"Not good! Fall back quickly, block it from entering the Emperor's Pass!"
A Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch shouted, his hair white with age—a veteran Quasi-Monarch. Seeing that pillar of light carrying intense space-time power descending from the sky and charging into the Tenth Emperor's Pass, his expression immediately changed.
On the Emperor's Pass, numerous legions appeared, and stellar weapons emerged. Battleships rose and fell, all facing that space-time light pillar.
However, the alien army was also stunned, because they too were unaware of that space-time light pillar, wondering if the Alien Ancient Universe had dispatched other experts?
The alien Sovereign frowned slightly, because the space-time power contained within that light pillar was too intense. Even he couldn't see through it for the moment.
Had the Ancient Universe dispatched other reinforcements?
But why hadn't he heard of it?
Boom—
Before the space-time light pillar could truly charge into the Tenth Emperor's Pass, it suddenly exploded right outside the Emperor's Pass. Rolling, extremely powerful space-time power spread out, forcing the experts of both armies to scatter, unable to approach.
At the same time, the moment the space-time light pillar exploded, a black shadow flashed abruptly and then vanished.
No one saw this scene; it was too fast, even the Quasi-Monarchs didn't notice.
Xian Tu was only slightly taken aback, then the dark sword radiance descended, stabbing towards the space between the eyebrows of the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch at an astonishing speed, beginning the execution.
Boom—
The thick dark sword radiance had already descended, pointing at the space between the eyebrows of the Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch, piercing in.
"Am I, Gai Guhua, a Quasi-Monarch of my generation, going to perish just like this?" The Sealed Realm Quasi-Monarch, nailed to the ground by nine dark sword radiances, wanted to struggle, but the nine sword radiances pierced through his limbs, internal organs, and even his dantian, making struggle impossible.
He sighed in despair, closing his eyes, waiting for the moment of death.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet Gai Guhua still didn't feel death's arrival. He also heard the ongoing sounds of battle and slaughter from outside. He immediately opened his eyes and discovered that the tenth sword radiance was paused less than a finger's breadth away from him, unable to advance any further.
He could even clearly feel the soul-destroying power contained within the dark sword radiance, capable of annihilating a Quasi-Monarch soul.
Gai Guhua was astonished that he wasn't dead yet.
Had Xian Tu suddenly been struck by a wave of benevolence, unwilling to kill him?
Since when had the alien race become so kind-hearted?
Gai Guhua turned his head aside and immediately discovered a figure had appeared above him at some unknown time. Tall and straight, clad in a black robe, with black hair casually draped, he seemed very lazy, yet possessed an overbearing divine charm that could suppress all heavens.
It was such a young man who extended his index and middle fingers, lightly pinching the dark sword radiance with just two fingers, preventing it from advancing any further.
"This—"
Gai Guhua was startled, staring in shock at this mysterious man.
On the Tenth Emperor's Pass, the Quasi-Monarchs of both sides naturally saw this scene as well. Shifting their attention from the exploding space-time light pillar, they looked over in astonishment at the young man who had suddenly appeared to block everything.
Xian Tu also revealed a trace of solemnity.
Someone capable of blocking his dark sword radiance was definitely no ordinary person. Among Quasi-Monarchs, he was absolutely extraordinary.
"Who are you?"
Looking at this young man who had suddenly appeared, with a faint crescent moon mark faintly visible between his eyebrows, for some reason, Xian Tu felt this person seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Yet he also felt it shouldn't be; anyone he had seen before, even a passerby, would be familiar and imprinted in his mind, but he had never encountered this person.
But where did this sense of familiarity come from?
He couldn't quite figure it out.
"Me?"
The handsome youth with the moon mark between his eyebrows smiled faintly. "My name is Ye Chen."
"Ye Chen?"
Upon hearing this name, everyone was taken aback, glancing at each other with a sense of unfamiliarity, having never heard of it.
But when some high-level figures from the Sealed Boundary Universe and the Alien Ancient Universe heard this name, they increasingly felt a sense of familiarity.
Ye Chen looked at Xian Tu and said, "You carry the scent of both the immortal race and the alien race. So you are a descendant with two bloodlines. You are very strong, almost comparable to a supreme scion."
"Correct." Xian Tu nodded, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, seemingly not expecting Ye Chen to be able to see through this. "Just who are you? The name Ye Chen always feels somewhat familiar to me."
Ye Chen slowly revealed a smile. "The name Ye Chen might be somewhat unfamiliar to you all. Perhaps my other title is more familiar. Usually, people call me—"
"The Battle Saint King!"
