A Chaos Great Dao extended beneath Ye Chen's feet. Azure Dragons, Kun Pengs, Qiong Qis, Golden Crows... various Chaos Holy Spirits manifested, as if a Heavenly Emperor were touring the world. He brought along his companions, their powerful auras causing the entire Heavenly Azure City to tremble violently.
The countless powerful experts within Heavenly Azure City were all left dumbstruck.
Under that level of aura, even some Great Powers felt incredibly weak, like mortals facing a Divine King—insignificant and unreachable.
"What... what kind of people are those!?" an old Great Power exclaimed in shock.
"Perhaps they are super-powerful experts from the center of the Myriad Domains, coming to provide support, though they look very young," someone spoke up, staring blankly.
"No, we absolutely cannot let them go. Judging by their auras, they are probably not inferior to Divine Kings. However, that is an alien army. Forget Divine Kings; even Quasi-Sovereigns, and even Ancient Monarchs are present. They are all so young, having already become Divine Kings so early. They likely possess unparalleled talent to become Ancient Monarchs. If they go to the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range like this, it would be tantamount to throwing their lives away," the old Great Power immediately spoke up anxiously.
Although the myriad realms were currently facing difficulties, and the Heavenly Azure Domain was under fierce attack from the alien army, the return of the Formless Supreme One, leading a Great Emperor and numerous Imperial Clan Sovereigns, had greatly alleviated the disadvantage of the myriad worlds.
It could be said that the current myriad realms were no longer in the critical state they were a hundred years ago, and there was no need for such desperate, life-risking actions.
Moreover, these young Heaven's Prides each possessed incomparable talent. Becoming Divine Kings so early, it was not impossible for them to become Ancient Monarchs in the future. For them to die in vain like this would be a great loss for the Sealed Boundary Universe. It would be better for them to become Ancient Monarchs first and then join the battle.
"Quickly contact the people at the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range! Stop these peerless Heaven's Prides from going! Have them leave immediately! They are the future hope of our Sealed Boundary Universe! There must be no mistake!" the old Great Power urgently sent a message.
"Yes!" someone went to relay the message.
"Sir, Peacock King's disciple Xia Miao'er is being pursued by eight Great Powers from the alien invasion in the Cangxia Continent. Two of them are Super Great Powers, and it's said one is a Half-Step Divine King. What should we do? Should we go to rescue her?" someone spoke up.
The old Great Power replied without hesitation, firmly: "Rescue her. We must rescue her. Miss Xia Miao'er is the Peacock King's personal disciple. The Heavenly Gate is currently fighting the alien race on the front lines, not retreating a single step. Judging by the current situation, it is very likely to be annihilated. Miss Xia Miao'er might very well be the sole remaining inheritor of the Heavenly Gate's legacy in the future. She cannot be lost."
"We may be powerless to save the Heavenly Gate from its dire straits, but its only inheritor must not come to harm."
"Quickly request a Half-Step Divine King to go rescue Miss Xia Miao'er."
"This subordinate understands. However, the Cangxia Continent is extremely far from Heavenly Azure City. Even a Half-Step Divine King would need an hour to get there." The subordinate hesitated for a moment before adding.
The old Great Power sighed softly: "We can only hope that Miss Miao'er can hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
...
Boom! Rumble—
The majestic Chaos Great Dao stretched straight into the heavens, spanning between heaven and earth, vast and mighty.
The myriad realms were not suppressed as severely as the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, allowing Ye Chen to display even more astonishing, heaven-defying power, and at greater speed.
In just a short moment, the Chaos Great Dao had traversed half a major domain. In the distance, they could see the majestic mountain range towering between heaven and earth, stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of li, its end not visible at a glance, making Ye Chen and the others feel as if they were seeing another Immortal Heavenly Pass.
That was precisely the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range!
"Senior Wang Chen, Peacock King, wait for us. We'll be there soon!"
Ye Chen spoke softly, about to continue onward. Suddenly, a scene in the land below caught the corner of his eye, and his expression instantly darkened.
"You all continue ahead. I have something to attend to. I'll go handle it first!"
As his words fell—whoosh!—he left the Chaos Great Dao and directly charged downward.
...
Xia Miao'er, contrary to the gracefulness her name suggested, was currently in a very unfavorable situation, looking quite disheveled.
This was the first time in so many years she had been in such a wretched state.
Sensing the eight powerful auras behind her, Xia Miao'er's originally delicate, lovely, and exquisite little face now wore a stern, murderous expression.
"Damn alien race! Someone actually managed to cross the blockade of the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range army and reach the depths of the Heavenly Azure Domain, and this young lady didn't even know about it. Now the Heavenly Gate is suffering a great calamity. This young lady should be going to Heavenly Azure City to request stronger reinforcements, but she's being held up by these alien scum."
Xia Miao'er's expression was gloomy. With her dual-soul body, it was naturally her elder sister's soul currently controlling the physical form, erupting her cultivation to its absolute limit.
Seventh Heaven Great Power!
Her current cultivation could be called a Super Great Power.
To become a Super Great Power at such an age was absolutely worthy of being called a prodigious talent.
Of course, this also benefited from the effects of the Golden Age following the revival of the myriad Daos.
This level of cultivation, in peaceful times, would be enough to establish an immortal holy land or divine dynasty, revered throughout the Myriad Domains. But now, it was not so effective, because among the eight alien experts pursuing her, two were not the slightest bit weaker than her, perhaps even stronger.
And the leader...
A Half-Step Divine King!
Far beyond what she could handle at her current level.
If she didn't sense that the alien Half-Step Divine King seemed to be toying with her, hoping to gradually crush her psychological defenses and play with her to death step by step, she knew that with her mere Seventh Heaven Great Power cultivation, she would never have been able to hold on this long.
"Damn it, is this young lady going to die like this before even bringing back reinforcements?" Xia Miao'er couldn't help but clench her delicate fists as she fled.
Compared to Xia Miao'er's disheveled state, the eight alien experts behind her appeared relatively relaxed and at ease.
Especially the leading alien Half-Step Divine King. He looked no different from a human, appearing young and handsome, with his hands clasped behind his back, divine radiance enveloping him like a Divine Son, walking at a leisurely pace.
With each step, he could cross a vast distance, never falling much behind the desperately fleeing Xia Miao'er ahead. On the contrary, he seemed to be slightly faster.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Miao'er felt extremely anxious.
The alien Half-Step Divine King saw all of this, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
To him, mocking a Heaven's Pride of the Sealed Boundary Universe like this was a rare pleasure.
He loved nothing more than slowly mocking and toying with people from the Sealed Boundary Universe, letting them believe there was hope of survival, not knowing that death was approaching step by step.
Of course, he also knew he couldn't let the other party keep fleeing. Otherwise, once they reached Heavenly Azure City, not only would the other party be safe, but he and his companions would also face a life-threatening situation.
"Alright, we've toyed with her for half an hour. We're not far from the central main city of this domain, Heavenly Azure City—less than an hour away. We can't let the people of Heavenly Azure City discover us, or it will be troublesome."
As his words fell, the alien Half-Step Divine King's body erupted with brilliant divine light. With a movement of his figure, his speed instantly increased by several times.
