The several alien Emperor Sons and Daughters were suspicious. Aside from Di Wentian and the Six Paths Imperial Son, they had never seen Ye Chen before and could not recognize him.
Moreover, Ye Chen was currently employing a Chaos secret technique, completely imitating all the aura of Gu Taixu. Even an Ancient Monarch standing before him would be unable to recognize him, let alone Di Wentian, who was only at the Quasi-Monarch realm.
Di Wentian smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying. Suddenly, the aura emanating from his body intensified many times over. Over two hundred Monarch Rules materialized, revealing him to be at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level. Furthermore, he was a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch evolving towards the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level, exceptionally powerful.
Ye Chen's expression darkened slightly. If Di Wentian truly acted, his identity would indeed be completely exposed.
Boom—
Suddenly, ten divine halos rose from Di Wentian's body, remarkably similar to Ye Chen's Tenfold Heavenly Divine Halo.
As the Ten Heavenly Divine Halos appeared, Ye Chen immediately felt this vast expanse of heaven and earth being sealed off. That special aura seemed to utilize the Ten Heavens to isolate the area. Even an ancient Great Emperor might be slightly hindered for a few breaths before probing in.
A Quasi-Monarch, even the most terrifying Eternal Quasi-Monarch throughout history, could not hinder an ancient Great Emperor in the slightest. However, Di Wentian's identity was special; he could communicate with the most mysterious alien ancient universe's Ten Heavens. Borrowing the might of the Ten Heavens, he could slightly block them.
Thinking this, a piercing cold light suddenly erupted from Ye Chen's eyes. The supreme divine power within his body boiled, and he too prepared to act, striding towards Di Wentian, ready to kill him.
An Eternal Quasi-Monarch could even slay a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Boom—
Abruptly, an alien Imperial Maiden was blasted apart. Surging blood radiance blossomed, almost reaching the starry sky beyond the domain.
She let out a miserable scream, her physical body shattered, and her Quasi-Monarch soul showed signs of being torn apart.
Yet Ye Chen was stunned, because the one who struck was not him, but Di Wentian.
His attack caught not only Ye Chen off guard but also the several alien Emperor Sons and Daughters beside him. An Imperial Maiden was thus killed unprepared, her body turned to dust.
"Di Wentian, how dare you attack Imperial Maiden Moluo Yanxia!"
The other six alien Emperor Sons and Daughters looked at Di Wentian with shock and fury. Such a sudden attack had caught even them unprepared.
"Di Wentian, you—" Ye Chen was also astonished.
"Battle Saint King, do you still not believe me now? My father's name is Dishi Tian, also known as Qingtian Dadi," Di Wentian said.
Dishi Tian... the Tenth Heaven... Qingtian Dadi!
Ye Chen instantly understood. He recalled the azure-light Great Emperor who had acted back then, remembered the vanished Tenth Heaven of the Sealed Boundary Universe, and everything became clear in that moment.
He vaguely remembered hearing an ancient Great Emperor mention that there was an ancient Great Emperor who bore the infamy of ages for his actions. That must be the Tenth Heaven, Qingtian Dadi.
No wonder he had helped him back then, even going so far as to slay an alien ancient Great Emperor, reverse time and space, deceive the heavens, and reassemble the Great Emperor's reincarnation body.
"The Tenth Heaven, Qingtian Dadi, was never a traitor to the Sealed Boundary Universe," Ye Chen sighed softly, comprehending many truths.
Di Wentian was the offspring of the Tenth Heaven, Qingtian Dadi. No wonder his aura was so contrary to that of the alien Emperor Sons and Daughters.
Ye Chen said, "Good, this time I believe you."
Boom—
Boundless Chaos light exploded. Ye Chen reverted to his true form, restoring his peerless, elegant, and handsome youthful appearance. Moreover, the aura of an Eternal Quasi-Monarch erupted and manifested, covering this stretch of heaven and earth.
The terrifying, peerless aura pressed down upon the six alien Emperor Sons and Daughters, as if six Chaos great worlds were weighing upon them, making it difficult to breathe. They looked at Ye Chen in horror, seemingly not expecting him to truly be the Battle Saint King, nor that this Battle Saint King was so powerful.
"Are you a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch?"
These alien Emperor Sons and Daughters exclaimed in shock.
The Six Paths Imperial Son was also sternly startled. This Battle Saint King was many times more powerful than he had been in the past.
Back then, he was only at the peak Divine King level. After a hundred years unseen, he had not only leaped to become a Quasi-Monarch but had also surpassed the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level.
Yet this powerful Quasi-Monarch aura seemed to surpass even the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs within their own race.
A faint glimmer also flashed in Di Wentian's eyes.
"Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch?" Ye Chen sneered coldly. "No, you may call me an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, for I am even stronger than a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch."
"Eternal Quasi-Monarch! You are an existence who has embarked on the Path of Eternity!"
Clearly, these alien Emperor Sons and Daughters knew many secrets and were aware of the existence of the Path of Eternity.
Once an existence embarked on this path, they possessed a terrifying aptitude surpassing that of ordinary Sovereigns.
"Die!"
However, Ye Chen had no intention of wasting words with them. In a flash, he appeared before an alien Quasi-Monarch Imperial Son. With merely a raise of his hand, he shattered the latter's multiple layers of defense, causing everything to crumble.
Simultaneously, his divine sense buzzed and transformed into a Chaos Heavenly Sword, slashing into the mud-pill palace between his eyebrows.
A soft hum extinguished his soul and annihilated his true spirit, causing him to perish.
In the blink of an eye, an Imperial Son-level figure whose cultivation had reached the late-stage Quasi-Monarch realm was slain.
Such thunderous methods were truly earth-shattering.
At the same time, Di Wentian also acted, engaging in a fierce battle against another Quasi-Monarch-level supreme Imperial Son.
That Quasi-Monarch-level supreme Imperial Son was none other than the Six Paths Imperial Son, offspring of the Six Paths Great Emperor. Like Di Wentian, he was at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level, evenly matched, and their battle was intense.
Di Wentian's goal was simple. Among these Quasi-Monarch-level Emperor Sons and Daughters, only the Six Paths Imperial Son was the strongest, being a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch not inferior to himself. As long as he delayed the Six Paths Imperial Son, Ye Chen would have a much easier time dealing with the other alien Emperor Sons and Daughters.
"Di Wentian, you... ah—"
The Six Paths Imperial Son sighed softly, with a hint of lamentation. He glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Even if the Battle Saint King is strong, this is the cosmic center of our ancient universe. Do you think he can escape? You shouldn't have acted, for you will be implicated and unable to extricate yourself."
Di Wentian chuckled lightly. Even his hair strands seemed to flow with brilliant light, making him a dazzling, peerless man. "It doesn't matter. My father has obscured the heavenly secrets here. No one knows what happens here. Even your alien ancient Great Emperors cannot investigate."
The Six Paths Imperial Son's expression darkened slightly. "Di Wentian, my father is also a supreme Emperor, controlling the Six Paths. He is the true supreme Great Emperor of this Chaos ancient universe. Even your father, Qingtian Dadi, would be somewhat suppressed by my father here."
"The supreme Great Emperor of this realm? Heh, it seems your father has truly fallen," Di Wentian's eyes flashed with a trace of cold, sinister intent. "Originally, I intended to spare you, but today you will undoubtedly die."
