It was a complete and utter explosion. Even powerful life force could not reverse everything and reform their physical and spiritual forms.
In the blink of an eye, the seven alien Great Powers had fallen.
Xia Miao'er stared dumbfounded at this scene, her heart filled with an unshakeable sense of astonishment and disbelief.
Big Brother had actually become so powerful. Even her esteemed master might not be able to act with such calm and composure.
The alien Half-Step Divine King was even more horrified. Such means were utterly beyond his reach. Even among the Divine Kings within his own race, he doubted many could accomplish such a feat.
He recalled a scene not long ago, where a Quasi-Monarch from his race had casually shattered five Great Powers from the Sealed Boundary Army with a single, effortless strike from afar, his demeanor calm and composed, his methods astonishing the world.
Now, looking at it, the young man's methods were strikingly similar to that Quasi-Monarch from his race.
Could it be that this person was also a—
Quasi-Monarch!?
The moment this possibility crossed his mind, the alien Half-Step Divine King turned and fled without a second thought.
What a joke!
Facing an existence at the Quasi-Monarch level, even a peak Divine King would likely face a life-threatening danger, let alone a mere Half-Step Divine King like himself.
In the other's eyes, his strength was probably no different from an ant...
As these thoughts raced through his mind, his speed had already reached its absolute limit, far surpassing the speed he had used while chasing Xia Miao'er.
"Did I say you could leave?"
At that moment, Ye Chen's cold voice suddenly rang out.
Boom—
A surge of divine power blasted forth. The alien Half-Step Divine King, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was instantly blasted into ashes.
Both body and soul were annihilated!
Killing a Half-Step Divine King with a mere gesture was, for Ye Chen, an utterly mundane and ordinary matter. He turned to Xia Miao'er, who was still reeling in shock, and said gently, "Miao'er, come with me. Let's go to the Heavenly Gate together."
Before Xia Miao'er could even regain her senses, she was brought onto the Chaos Great Dao.
"Miao'er."
Several voices called out. It was Yi Wu, the Goddess, and Chen'er. They had naturally met her back in the Ancient Emperor Realm.
The women stepped forward, their smiles warm and gentle.
"Sister Yi Wu, Sister Jingruo, Sister Chen'er." Xia Miao'er switched to her younger sister persona, overjoyed as she hugged them all.
Seeing the others who were relatively unfamiliar—aside from Shen Rong, whom she had met once before—she was basically a stranger to everyone else.
Xia Miao'er's heart was once again filled with astonishment, no less than when she witnessed Ye Chen calmly and effortlessly kill the alien experts chasing her.
She could clearly sense the auras of these people. Each one was far more powerful than her. As strong as she was, she could only faintly perceive the faintest threads of their majestic pressure. Yet, even that was terrifyingly profound. If these people were to unleash their full power, a single finger would probably be enough to annihilate her.
Xia Miao'er couldn't help but think this way. However, she also saw that these people treated her with genuine kindness, a warmth that came from the heart, not mere pretense. Looking at the consistently gentle and jade-like Big Brother Ye Chen beside her, she understood that these must be Ye Chen's friends.
"Miao'er, why are you out here alone, and being chased by an alien Half-Step Divine King at that?" Ye Chen frowned. A mere Half-Step Divine King, though an ant in his eyes, was still an insurmountable superpower for Xia Miao'er.
And for ordinary cultivators, it would be an apocalyptic-level demon king.
This situation was truly strange.
Xia Miao'er smiled bitterly. "Big Brother, I was heading to Heavenly Azure City to provide support. I just didn't expect that while the alien race was attacking the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range, they managed to breach a defensive line. These few slipped through. They found out I was from the Heavenly Gate, so they chased me all the way. They were just toying with me, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to survive for so long against a Half-Step Divine King."
Ye Chen and the others nodded slightly, then inquired about the current situation at the Heavenly Gate.
From the Myriad Realms Palace Lord, they had only learned that the Heavenly Gate was in grave danger, but with a Primordial Times Sovereign personally going to support, no matter how critical the situation, it shouldn't be a problem.
Xia Miao'er shook her head. "You don't understand. The Heavenly Gate is on the other side of the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range, truly the front line directly facing the alien army. Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Gate, with my master, grandmaster, and a few Divine King seniors from the Ancient Emperor Realm, could handle it. But this time, the alien army dispatched a Quasi-Monarch, over a dozen Divine Kings, and more than fifty Great Powers. It's utterly impossible to cope. If it weren't for the Sealed Boundary Quasi-Monarch's intervention and the help of a few Divine Kings, the Heavenly Gate would have fallen long ago. Even now, the situation is extremely grim."
"Given the current situation, the Heavenly Gate won't last a single day. It will be completely overrun."
Xia Miao'er used a divine ability to project a scene depicting the Heavenly Gate's situation. The entire majestic Du Peak was on the verge of collapse.
Over a dozen alien Divine Kings surrounded Du Peak. The Heavenly Gate's seven Divine Kings were struggling desperately, covered in blood. Some Great Powers had already fallen.
Ye Chen's expression darkened. This was even more difficult than he had imagined.
Moreover, he learned that the area was close to the battlefield for combatants at the Divine King level and above from both armies. Without sufficiently powerful reinforcements arriving to rescue them, the Heavenly Gate would inevitably be destroyed.
"I'll go ahead first. You all follow after!" Upon understanding the Heavenly Gate's situation, Ye Chen immediately decided to leave ahead of the group.
Boom—
Instantly, the speed of the Chaos Great Dao increased dramatically, charging toward the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range.
The Ancient Dragon Mountain Range was rumored to have been formed from the corpse of a Primordial Times True Dragon. It was an incredibly vast mountain range, stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of li, spanning several major domains, a truly astonishing sight.
To the naked eye, the entire Ancient Dragon Mountain Range was trembling at this very moment. On the other side, endless slaughter was taking place.
The vast armies of the two ancient universes were clashing at the foot of the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range.
The Sealed Boundary Universe occupied the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range, launching attacks from their high ground against the alien army that had reached the city walls.
Because they held the home-field advantage and the benefit of the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range, even though the alien army had over ten times more experts at every level and held an absolute numerical advantage, they were still far from being able to capture the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range.
Moreover, the mountain body of the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range was indestructible. Despite the alien army repeatedly using large-scale divine ability attacks, they still couldn't blast open the mountain range and were suppressed.
In the sky, various divine ability attacks, arrays, and divine energy cannons intertwined to form a destructive fire net that devoured everything. Any alien forces attempting to charge into the sky would face the full suppression of this Destruction Fire Net.
It was precisely because of this that the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range had yet to be captured.
Even so, the battle was exceptionally brutal. Countless alien soldiers lay dead and wounded at the foot of the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range. Who knew how many alien beings had been slain, their primordial spirits and divine souls annihilated, their broken limbs and corpses littering the ground. Describing it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was no longer sufficient.
Millions lay dead!
However, the situation for the Sealed Boundary Army on the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range was also far from optimistic. Countless had died and were wounded, with corpses strewn everywhere, including Heavenly Kings and Great Powers.
Because the alien race simply had too many powerful experts. Whether it was Heavenly Kings, Great Powers, Divine Kings, or even Quasi-Monarchs, they far outnumbered the Sealed Boundary Army. A significant number of attacks inevitably pierced through the Destruction Fire Net, landing on the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range and causing casualties.
If not for relying on the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range and the home battlefield advantage of the Sealed Boundary Universe, how could they possibly hold on?
As for experts at the Divine King level and above, they had their own separate battlefield.
The Divine Kings and Quasi-Monarchs of the Sealed Boundary Universe, to prevent the alien Divine Kings and Quasi-Monarchs from breaking through the Destruction Fire Net and breaching the defenses, had long since taken action, personally charging into the alien army to delay the alien Divine Kings and Quasi-Monarchs.
Boom—
At that moment, an alien expert suddenly broke through the obstruction of the Destruction Fire Net and charged onto the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range, causing the defenders stationed there to change color: "Divine King!"
