Patting Ye Chen's shoulder, Ye Ao said, "I know it's dangerous outside the Ancient Orchid Great World right now. The Myriad Domains of the Heavens have been occupied by the alien race's army, so the Ancient Orchid Great World is sealed off too. Your old man also knows you're very capable. I'm afraid it won't be long before you have to leave, right?"
Silence!
Ye Chen didn't answer, only sighing inwardly as he looked at his father with a bitter smile. Indeed, no one knows a son better than his father.
In the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, there were still two alien Ancient Great Emperors, not to mention many alien Ancient Monarchs entrenched there. The alien army numbered far more than hundreds of millions, occupying over forty percent of the vast Myriad Domains' territory.
As a member of the Sealed Universe, Ye Chen naturally had to take action to drive out the alien race.
Moreover, facing that blood-stained future, he had to maintain his cultivation at all times, never stopping for a moment.
Ye Ao said, "You don't need to worry. Your old man knows that a man's ambitions lie far and wide, and you are a man capable of deciding your own comings and goings. Your mother and I are useless, only able to stay here, unable to help you. But one thing we can do is support you from behind, support all your decisions."
Ye Chen remained silent for a long time before raising his head to look at his father and saying softly, "Father, thank you."
Ye Ao laughed heartily. "Against external enemies, your old man might not be able to help you much. But as for home, rest assured. Your mother and I will absolutely not cause you any trouble."
...
In the endless realm of Spatial Turbulence.
Originally, there was only the endless, violent Spatial Turbulence and nothing else.
But at this moment, three overwhelmingly powerful figures suddenly appeared here. Their bodies radiated vast, supreme auras—the Heavenly Might of Sovereigns. They were clearly three Ancient Monarchs.
Under the pervasion of the Sovereigns' Heavenly Might, all the violent Spatial Turbulence automatically retreated, forming an absolute vacuum zone.
Behind the three Ancient Monarchs stood a full eighteen figures possessing faint threads of Sovereign Heavenly Might. Who else could they be but Quasi-Monarchs?
Further back were over a hundred powerful figures, all Divine Kings.
As for those below the Divine King level—
They numbered in the thousands!
Without a doubt, this was an extremely terrifying legion that had traversed the endless Spatial Turbulence to arrive here, personally led by three Ancient Monarchs.
And they were all members of the alien race.
Ahead, one could vaguely see a colossal Great World floating in the depths of the endless Spatial Turbulence, its entire body enveloped in extremely powerful protective world lightning.
"Ahead, is that the Ancient Orchid Great World?"
An alien Ancient Monarch's eyes flashed with boundless killing intent, within which terrifying scenes of myriad worlds collapsing and sinking could be seen. He said, "That young Sovereign who killed two of our Ancient Universe's Ancient Monarchs, and the Battle Saint King with boundless potential, are both in this world called the Ancient Orchid Great World. Hmm, this world is not simple. It turns out to be a Sovereign's Origin Great World, though the Sovereign aura has gone silent. The Ancient Monarch is not present. It should be that Sovereign Gu Lan from the previous era's Mythical Great Cataclysm."
Beside him, an alien Sovereign was bathed in endless demonic mist, with bloody light shining like a crimson sun. He let out a terrifying, sinister chuckle. "So it's him. That Sovereign Gu Lan from back then was indeed somewhat formidable. However, it was precisely this Sovereign who personally struck him down. I never expected his Sovereign's Origin Great World to be here. No wonder I felt he didn't use his world's power back then. So that was the reason."
The fall of Sovereign Gu Lan was indeed at the hands of this alien Sovereign, named Defeated Blood Sovereign, a renowned Ancient Monarch, a fearsome powerhouse among Sovereigns.
Back then, he had pursued and killed Sovereign Gu Lan, directly chasing him into the Chaos Sea, achieving what could be called a glorious battle record.
"Good. Today, seeing Sovereign Gu Lan's Origin World from back then—since I didn't destroy it when I killed him, I'll destroy it now. Consider it settling a karmic debt."
Defeated Blood Sovereign sneered incessantly, looking at this Sovereign Great World with a terrifying, bloodthirsty gaze.
At the same time, slightly behind the three Ancient Monarchs, a figure appeared. He was like a noble, exceptionally handsome, so much so that many beautiful women would feel ashamed in comparison.
He revealed a smile that could be described as enchanting all living beings. "Battle Saint King? I heard he can instantly kill ordinary Quasi-Monarchs. However, I am a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. I wonder if you are worthy of a fight?"
"I, Ye Canlan, am very much looking forward to the Chaos Saint Blood in your body."
If a powerhouse from the Origin Ancient Path saw this person, they would surely be shocked. Because Ye Canlan was qualified to be ranked on the Era's Quasi-Monarch Ranking, a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch powerhouse ranked within the top twenty.
To deal with Ye Chen, who was suspected to be a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, the alien race had no choice but to dispatch a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
"Let's go. Today, we shall completely destroy this Ancient Orchid Great World." Defeated Blood Sovereign spoke, leading the endless alien army to charge forward.
Boom!
The endless alien army charged towards the Ancient Orchid Great World, an onslaught even more terrifying than the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range.
...
Within the Ancient Orchid Great World, Ye Chen divided his attention. On one hand, he accompanied his parents and children; on the other, he continuously had his Origin Universe devour the Origin World of the alien Sovereign Mo He Kong, feeling his internal Origin Universe rapidly expanding bit by bit at a visible speed.
Accompanying this was a stream of Universe Dawn Light flowing through his limbs and bones, constantly strengthening his Form and Spirit.
After devouring the Sovereign Great World of the Floating Pagoda Imperial Clan Sovereign and being continuously strengthened by the Universe Dawn Light, Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body and Chaos Saint Soul had both increased in strength by a full twofold.
Now, after devouring Sovereign Mo He Kong's Origin World—though currently only half of it—his Form and Spirit had increased by another quarter.
Yes, a quarter.
Floating Pagoda Zhan and Mo He Kong were comparable in strength, and their Sovereign Origin Great Worlds were also comparable.
Devouring Floating Pagoda Zhan's Sovereign Origin Great World could increase his strength by twofold. If Ye Chen's Form and Spirit strength before devouring was one, then after devouring it became two.
Devouring Mo He Kong's Sovereign Origin Great World could only increase it by one.
Now, having only devoured half, it was equivalent to increasing by a quarter based on Ye Chen's current foundation of two.
In terms of Form and Spirit strength alone, the current Ye Chen was enough to rival two and a half Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs.
Although the boost to combat power from Form and Spirit strength at the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level was far less exaggerated than the boost from Monarch Rules, it was still astonishing. Without using Monarch Rules, it was actually enough to rival about a hundred Monarch Rules.
And Ye Chen, far surpassing the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level, his own strength had reached about two hundred and fifty Monarch Rules.
As for Origin Universe power, the amount of Universe Origin Power he could currently mobilize had reached a level comparable to about four hundred Monarch Rules.
The number of cultivated Monarch Rules could exceed five hundred and twenty.
Therefore, invisibly, combining all these aspects, Ye Chen's comprehensive strength had already reached nearly twelve hundred Monarch Rules, equivalent to the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level, even surpassing some.
"Hmm, I never expected my current strength to increase so much. I originally thought the later the stage, the slower the improvement. But for me, as long as there are enough worlds to devour for their origin, my strength improves faster." Ye Chen muttered to himself. Regardless of the increase in Universe Power, he himself possessed a peerless combat power comparable to nearly eight hundred Monarch Rules.
"Heh, I really want a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch to come along, to test exactly what level my current strength has reached!" Ye Chen chuckled lightly, filled with immense confidence.
Suddenly, his mind stirred. He looked into the distance and revealed a meaningful smile. "I never thought that speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives."
Whoosh— His figure vanished.
