Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying roars continuously reverberated.
One could distinctly sense that outside the Immortal Heavenly Pass, several supremely powerful divine auras had emerged, clearly reaching the Monarch level, and were now knocking at the pass.
Upon the Heavenly Pass, the World-Destroying Elder, holding the World-Destroying Millstone, stood in a gloomy confrontation with the three alien Monarchs outside the pass, shouting loudly, "Alien race, do you not know that this is the place where the Emperor slumbers? You cannot trespass recklessly!"
These despicable aliens, after he had just slain two of their Sovereigns, the rest dared not fight and actually called upon three alien Monarchs to come and knock at the pass.
The World-Destroying Elder considered himself unmatched within the realm of ancient Sovereigns, but facing Monarchs who were on the verge of attaining the Dao and becoming Emperors, there was still a vast gap.
One Monarch's figure was hazy, his manifested dharma form even taller than the heavens, immeasurably vast and majestic, enough to blot out the sky and sun, comparable to the Immortal Heavenly Pass itself. He spoke indifferently, "World-Destroying Elder, this Monarch gives you one chance. Open the gate of the Heavenly Pass, or do not blame this Monarch for being ruthless."
"Is that so? This World-Destroying Elder would like to see just how capable your alien race is, daring to clamor like this."
With him personally guarding the Immortal Heavenly Pass, the defensive power had instantly increased by an unknown degree. If Ye Chen were to strike now, he would absolutely be unable to blast open the gate of the Immortal Heavenly Pass.
The alien Monarch, peerless in his majesty, looked coldly at the World-Destroying Elder and said, "What of being a peak Sovereign? Today, this Monarch will let you see what true Monarch capability is."
Boom!
His five fingers spread open. Immediately, from the central star region of the alien Ancient Universe, over a million massive stars rushed over, ultimately transforming into a War Halberd, stretching for hundreds of millions of li, so immense it was beyond description. Monarch power poured into it, and in an instant, the unleashed might reached an inconceivable level.
"Futu Imperial Halberd Slash!"
This was the Monarch of the Futu Imperial Clan. Although the clan's Supreme Imperial Weapon had been suppressed by Ye Chen, he could still summon the corresponding divine form of the Futu Imperial Halberd. It descended from the sky, slashing down furiously, as if an ancient Great Emperor had struck. The vast Burial Immortal Realm spanning hundreds of millions of li erupted violently, as if about to explode.
The might of a Monarch was displayed without reservation!
The Futu Imperial Halberd, condensed from countless stars, slashed fiercely upon the Immortal Heavenly Pass. A great destructive force exploded, indescribable.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The hundreds-of-millions-of-li Burial Immortal Realm seemed on the verge of collapse. At the critical moment, the Immortal World origin of the Burial Immortal Realm surged forth, suppressing all destructive power, preventing the realm from being destroyed.
After the destructive fluctuations akin to a great world exploding, the Immortal Heavenly Pass still stood tall, unbreached.
However, upon the pass, the World-Destroying Elder's expression was grim; even a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. For he was the one maintaining the defense of the Immortal Heavenly Pass. Although the pass had withstood the blow, he still suffered a certain degree of backlash.
"Heh, it is indeed sturdy enough, not even breaking from that," the alien Monarch sneered coldly, showing no trace of frustration. Instead, he looked coldly at the World-Destroying Elder and said indifferently, "This Monarch would like to see just how many times you, World-Destroying Elder, can block."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This time, the Monarch of the alien Futu Imperial Clan summoned countless stars again, an even greater number, transforming into a War Halberd far more terrifying, at least several times more powerful than before. Even wisps of imperial majesty were attached to it. The Burial Immortal Realm seemed unable to bear it, rumbling as it began to collapse.
"This time, let's see how you block this!"
Boom!
The War Halberd, formed from countless stars and spanning hundreds of millions of li, was projected forth.
Boom!
The hundreds-of-millions-of-li Burial Immortal Realm crumbled. The earth collapsed over vast areas, and the starry sky continuously fell into annihilation.
The World-Destroying Elder drew a deep breath, pouring his terrifying Sovereign power continuously into the Immortal Heavenly Pass, making its defense appear increasingly solid.
Boom!
The War Halberd struck the Immortal Heavenly Pass. A deafening roar exploded. It still hadn't breached it, but a clear, deep, massive scar appeared on the Immortal Heavenly Pass.
Pfft—
The World-Destroying Elder looked up to the sky and vomited a great mouthful of blood. His flesh cracked, his divine soul trembled and fractured, as if about to be torn apart. Seeing the three alien Monarchs attack simultaneously with their fearsome imperial divine abilities, the World-Destroying Elder gave a bitter smile. "Your Majesty, my apologies. Please forgive me for failing to guard the Immortal Heavenly Pass well!"
He knew that under the combined assault of three Monarchs, he would inevitably be unable to block completely, and could only watch this unfold with unwillingness.
"You have done your best."
A clear, bright voice suddenly appeared. Two figures abruptly manifested by his side.
Seeing the figure of the Flame Emperor, whose imperial majesty wantonly permeated the air, the World-Destroying Elder was first stunned, then uncontrollable joy surged in his old eyes. "Your Majesty, you have truly awakened."
"Having slept for so long, it is time to wake up," the Flame Emperor said with a slight smile. Then, looking at the Monarch attacks that flashed towards the Immortal Heavenly Pass from outside, he gave a light laugh, carrying an overbearing aura that looked down upon the world. "The alien race truly has great courage. Have they forgotten so quickly that this Emperor slew one of their Great Emperors back then, that they dare to come and kill?"
Boom!
The Flame Emperor merely pointed with a single finger.
Immediately, upon the Immortal Heavenly Pass, a blazing great sun appeared, one that could rival the Flame Emperor Star itself. It descended from the sky, effortlessly blocking the hundreds-of-millions-of-li star-formed Futu Imperial Halberd.
The Futu Imperial Halberd was directly incinerated and exploded, turning into a sky full of fiery light.
Simultaneously, the attacks of the other two alien Monarchs also arrived, but before the hundreds-of-millions-of-li great sun, they were easily intercepted and burned into nothingness.
From beginning to end, the hundreds-of-millions-of-li great sun continuously radiated billions of zhang of blazing light, never dimming.
"The Emperor?"
"The Flame Emperor?"
Outside the Immortal Heavenly Pass, the three alien Monarchs' expressions changed drastically as they looked at the overbearing figure upon the pass who looked down upon all heavens. Who else could it be but the legendary Flame Emperor?
The Flame Emperor stood firm and majestic like a deep pool and lofty mountain, looking down from above at the three Monarchs. He gave a scornful smile. "Mere three Monarchs dare to trespass upon this Flame Emperor's land. It seems the lesson given to your alien race back then was not deep enough, was it?"
"Go!"
With a flick of his great sleeve, the hundreds-of-millions-of-li great sun suddenly charged towards the three alien Monarchs.
The three alien Monarchs all sensed extreme terror and hurriedly mobilized their most powerful divine abilities to block. Yet those terrifying offensive divine abilities, capable of slaying Monarchs of the same level, appeared so fragile and vulnerable before the hundreds-of-millions-of-li great sun.
Boom!
In the end, the hundreds-of-millions-of-li great sun landed upon the three alien Monarchs. Infinite imperial flames erupted, covering the sky and earth, shaking the entire Burial Immortal Realm as if an endless sea of fire was drowning everything.
Here, the faint screams of the alien powerhouses could be heard, including those of the three Monarchs.
Monarchs, beings on the imperial path infinitely close to the Supreme Ones, were so fragile before a true ancient Great Emperor, especially a peerless Great Emperor like the Flame Emperor. Ye Chen and the World-Destroying Elder vaguely saw their charred bodies, a truly miserable sight.
Even their Monarch souls were fiercely scorched.
