On the Tian Cang battlefield, the Ancient Monarchs of the various factions did not make a move, as they were mutually restraining each other.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also did not act rashly, standing firmly before the passageway, concealing it with great magical power. Outsiders were completely unaware of the existence of the Ancient Gate.
Otherwise, if they learned he came from the outside world, it could very likely provoke a joint attack.
The Chaos Divine King Spirit, however, charged towards the center of the Tian Cang battlefield. There, various Quasi-Monarchs were contending for a mass of Emperor Dao Origin, about the size of a mountain peak, estimated to be roughly one-tenth of a complete Emperor Dao Origin.
More than fifty Quasi-Monarchs were vying for it.
Among them were actually ten Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs, while the rest were mid-to-late stage Quasi-Monarchs.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's heart surged with joy. Shrouding his true identity with Chaos, he charged over.
"Seeking death!"
Noticing an outsider approaching, the nearest mid-stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse snorted coldly and swung over a dozen Monarch Rules towards Ye Chen.
"Scram!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly. The power of the Chaos Divine King Spirit was comparable to his true self. With a single palm strike containing irresistible absolute might, this mid-stage Quasi-Monarch instantly exploded.
Immediately, Ye Chen's speed reached the extreme, arriving before the Emperor Dao Origin in an instant.
"Scram!"
Although the other Quasi-Monarchs witnessed Ye Chen casually blasting apart a mid-stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse, they showed no fear. At this moment, three Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs even took action, each manifesting over one hundred and twenty Monarch Rules, which was quite astonishing.
"The ones who should scram are you."
Ye Chen was domineering and forceful, not concealing his power in the slightest. Five hundred Monarch Rules manifested.
Boom boom boom—
The three Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs were forcefully blasted away, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, looking at Ye Chen in shock and horror: "Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch!"
The other Quasi-Monarchs were also severely shocked. A Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch held absolute deterrence within the Quasi-Monarch domain.
Taking advantage of their momentary daze, Ye Chen grabbed the mountain-sized mass of Emperor Dao Origin and, with successive punches, rapidly shattered the restrictive seals other Quasi-Monarchs had placed upon it.
However, the Emperor Dao Origin was special. Unless it was the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, even Ye Chen's true self could not absorb it into his body, let alone the Chaos Divine King Spirit.
Boom—
Thus, Ye Chen simply grabbed the Emperor Dao Origin and soared into the sky to leave.
"Quick, chase him!"
The other Quasi-Monarchs, seeing this scene, hurriedly gave chase, shouting loudly: "A Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch dares to make a move, breaking the rules of the battlefield! Everyone, attack together, kill this Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch!"
On the battlefield where the Emperor Dao Origin was contested, Ancient Monarchs could not intervene. Similarly, Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs, who could also retreat unscathed from facing Ancient Monarchs, were also bound by this rule.
Otherwise, why would there be no Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs present on the Tian Cang battlefield? Did they truly think the various Supreme One forces lacked even one peerless powerhouse at the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level?
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Immediately, dozens of Quasi-Monarchs attacked together, their strikes blasting towards Ye Chen, who was fleeing into the distance at extreme speed.
Such a combined attack could only be avoided even by an Ancient Monarch, who would not dare to confront it head-on.
Boom—
Ye Chen's figure suddenly accelerated. He executed the Kun Peng Great Universe Technique, his speed instantly breaking through limits, causing all the Quasi-Monarchs' attacks to completely miss. They couldn't even catch up, let alone land a hit.
"Damn it!"
A Quasi-Monarch roared, unleashing a furious bellow.
Along the way, powerhouses from various factions also attacked. However, facing Ye Chen, whose power rivaled a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, they could hardly inflict any effective damage.
Moreover, Ye Chen angrily struck out. Five hundred Monarch Rules danced, sweeping across the battlefield, indiscriminately slaughtering countless powerhouses from various factions. He advanced, treading upon a path of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
In just a short time, Ye Chen forcefully broke through layer upon layer of obstructions, and the Ancient Gate became visible in the distance.
Boom—
Suddenly, a long rainbow pierced through the sky, carrying a surging aura that seemed to tear everything apart. A thunderous shout echoed: "Leave the Emperor Dao Origin behind!"
Instantly, a full five hundred Monarch Rules appeared, their aura even far surpassing that of the three Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs who had attacked earlier.
A Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch!
"Hmph!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly, his entire aura immediately surging. Five hundred Monarch Rules also manifested, clashing head-on with the attacking Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. The shockwave affected a radius of a million miles.
Simultaneously, he unleashed the Four Chaos Styles, displaying terrifying Chaos divine abilities one after another, with five hundred Monarch Rules fused within, elevated to their utmost limit.
The opponent, being a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, was equally formidable, immediately manifesting numerous peerless divine abilities, fusing many Monarch Rules within.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
A series of terrifying collisions ensued, nearly comparable to an exchange between Ancient Monarchs. They caused the collapse of a vast battlefield spanning who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, with numerous world realms shattering one after another, the impact severe.
Swoosh—
Utilizing the powerful shockwaves generated by the collision, Ye Chen, carrying the Emperor Dao Origin, charged towards the location of the Ancient Gate.
The pursuing Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, however, was delayed by the heavy shockwaves, unable to charge over quickly. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Chen departed, filled with unwillingness.
Boom—
The vast battlefield trembled. Ancient Monarchs finally made their move, unable to hold back any longer, also because Ye Chen had broken the rules first.
And not just one, but a full five Ancient Monarchs acted, targeting Ye Chen, and also because of the Emperor Dao Origin he had obtained.
"Hmph!"
At the Ancient Gate, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body naturally also acted. Flowing with the power of the Emperor Realm Origin, it clashed successively with the five Ancient Monarchs, causing the destruction of multiple world realms, the impact significant.
Under the protection of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, Ye Chen's Chaos Divine King Spirit returned safely.
"Retrieve!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body grabbed the Emperor Dao Origin with one hand and stored it away.
"Attack, kill him!"
An Ancient Monarch snorted coldly, his voice sinister and icy. Boundless Monarch Heavenly Might spread, attacking the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
However, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body did not linger for a moment. Turning around, it stepped into the Ancient Gate.
Simultaneously, the supreme treasure Silver Pearl and the four divine crowns instantly departed. The portal closed, severing the connection.
On the other side, on the Origin Ancient Path, the Tian Cang battlefield, the attacks of several Ancient Monarchs struck empty air. They stared gloomily at the vanished radiant portal, a low and merciless voice resounding: "Investigate immediately. Which faction dares to deploy a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch to act, breaking the rules?"
The other Ancient Monarchs similarly ordered their subordinate forces.
To have the Emperor Dao Origin snatched away and disappear right before their eyes was considered their dereliction of duty.
No matter what, it must be recovered.
"Yes!"
The powerhouses of the major forces hurriedly complied.
An Ancient Monarch said coldly: "Daring to defy the rules and act, even a Supreme One would not dare do so lightly, otherwise other Supreme Ones would come forward to hold them accountable. Moreover, the Emperor Dao Origin is such a priceless treasure, an Emperor Dao supreme treasure capable of enhancing a Supreme One's origin."
Because the Emperor Dao Origin had been seized by the mysterious Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch and Ancient Monarch, the various factions on the Tian Cang battlefield also withdrew one after another, no longer engaging in meaningless warfare.
