"Your Majesty—"
The World-Destroying Elder sighed softly, feeling the Flame Emperor's Emperor's Might up close, his heart filled with increasing awe.
These three Monarchs, all beings approaching the Emperor Dao realm, yet before the Flame Emperor, they seemed so utterly powerless.
This was the Flame Emperor, the Emperor he followed!
Just as the Flame Emperor was about to burn the three alien Monarchs to death, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
Of course, this pity wasn't for the alien race, but rather that such excellent materials were about to be incinerated. The Primordial Great Worlds within the Monarchs' bodies were something he coveted greatly.
Once devoured and refined...
Ye Chen couldn't even imagine how much it would amplify his power, for it would undoubtedly far surpass the Primordial Worlds of alien Monarchs like Fudo Zhan and Maha Kong that he had refined before.
He had even started rubbing his hands together, preparing to ask the Flame Emperor for them.
At that moment, the Flame Emperor slightly lifted his eyelids, looking into the distance where a terrifyingly powerful pressure was sweeping over like lightning, surpassing even that of the three alien Monarchs.
The entire Burial Immortal Realm trembled.
Without a doubt, this was an alien ancient Great Emperor.
Finally, an ancient Great Emperor had appeared.
"Finally decided to show yourself?" The Flame Emperor smiled faintly, watching the alien ancient Great Emperor whose mere appearance caused the entire Burial Immortal Realm to tremble violently. His movements were unhurried as he slowly said, "A pity, you're a step too late. Wait to collect the corpses."
His palm clenched slightly, and an Emperor Dao power far surpassing the previous one suddenly erupted, reaching out towards the three alien Monarchs who were being burned in a wretched state.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The three alien Monarchs, whose flesh and souls were already burning at their limits and were barely holding on, could endure no longer. They let out a shrill, miserable scream before finally collapsing. Terrifying fluctuations churned within the billion-li great sun, until finally, the auras of the three alien Monarchs completely dissipated.
They had fallen!
Within the Burial Immortal Realm, endless phenomena suddenly manifested, layer upon layer, all shocking signs of Monarchs falling, shaking the heavens and earth.
"Emperor Lord, how dare you!"
The alien ancient Great Emperor roared, nearly shattering the entire Burial Immortal Realm. Supreme-level Emperor's Might erupted, impacting from close range, causing the entire Immortal Heavenly Pass to tremble as if on the verge of collapse.
Under such formidable Emperor's Might, the billion-li great sun also dimmed and extinguished, revealing three massive Monarch corpses within—their souls extinguished, burned to nothing, leaving only three husks.
Even an ancient Great Emperor could not reverse this fate.
The Flame Emperor stamped his foot, and the trembling Immortal Heavenly Pass immediately calmed, ceasing its shaking.
He lifted his eyelids slightly, looking at the alien ancient Great Emperor who had descended before the Immortal Heavenly Pass—a figure with a boundless demonic body akin to splitting heaven and earth—and said expressionlessly, "Buddha, is it just you alone who dares to come?"
His calm words, no matter how one listened, seemed to carry a strong flavor of mockery.
The arriving alien Emperor was none other than Buddha Great Emperor.
Buddha Great Emperor stood imposingly in the deepest part of the Burial Immortal Realm, looking at the three slain alien Monarchs. One of them was a Monarch from the Buddha Emperor Clan, and moreover, his own brother—a brother who also had the hope of attaining the Emperor Dao.
Now, before his very eyes, he had been killed by the Flame Emperor. The rage within his heart was difficult to suppress.
He glared darkly at the Flame Emperor and said in a heavy voice, "Flame Emperor, it seems the lesson our Ancient Universe gave you back then was not enough, allowing you to dare attack the Monarchs of our Ancient Universe."
Upon the Heavenly Pass, the Flame Emperor's figure, though only the size of an ordinary person—a world of difference compared to Buddha Great Emperor's Emperor body—somehow appeared equal, even faintly looking down upon him from above. He said indifferently, "A lesson? I truly must thank your alien race for that lesson, otherwise I wouldn't have slept for so long. It's simply a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined."
Hearing this, Buddha Great Emperor was suddenly jolted awake, greatly shocked. "You... you broke through?"
"Hahaha—" The Flame Emperor did not answer directly, but in that instant, his aura surged countless times over, overshadowing the entire Burial Immortal Realm.
He looked down from above, gazing coldly at Buddha Great Emperor. "I think you've truly forgotten this Emperor's methods from the past. You actually dared to disturb this Emperor's slumber and attack this Emperor's Immortal Heavenly Pass. Today, this Emperor will behead you, to make your alien race remember once again that in the past, there was a Sealed World ancient Emperor named Flame Emperor, who dared to charge into the depths of the Alien Ancient Universe and slay alien Emperors!"
His words displayed boundless arrogance and also revealed the various deeds of the past.
In those days, the Flame Emperor, alone, charged into the deepest parts of the Alien Ancient Universe and even slew an alien Emperor, shaking the Chaos Sea.
Countless ages had passed. With the Flame Emperor's slumber, such deeds had gradually been forgotten. But today, the Flame Emperor had returned, to make the Alien Ancient Universe remember that profound lesson from the past.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Suddenly, at the highest point of the Burial Immortal Realm's sky, ten glorious great suns fiercely manifested, each one billions of li in size, spanning the heavens.
The appearance of these ten heavenly suns represented the strongest Emperor Dao of the fire attribute. All fire attributes would kneel and submit before this Emperor of Ten Thousand Flames.
Buddha Great Emperor's expression changed drastically. He knew the Flame Emperor's means all too well. Without another word, he immediately turned to retreat.
"Since you've come, stay here completely."
The Flame Emperor spoke. The ten glorious great suns traversed the sky, then with a deafening roar, blasted apart the nine heavens and descended heavily upon Buddha Great Emperor, whose demonic body was also billions of li in size.
Emperor-level fluctuations shook the heavens, tearing through the Burial Immortal Realm and destroying Buddha Great Emperor.
"Ah—"
Buddha Great Emperor roared towards the sky. Supreme Emperor Principles manifested, tearing apart the heavens. The River of Time even appeared as he executed a forbidden divine ability—Thousand-Handed Buddha!
He transformed himself into an existence akin to a Thousand-Handed Guanyin. A thousand great hands manifested, each representing a different technique. Combined, the thousand hands represented a thousand techniques, constantly shifting and changing every moment.
In an instant, billions upon billions of techniques erupted, attacking the ten glorious great suns.
This was Buddha Great Emperor. Once he executed his forbidden divine ability, it far surpassed when others used it, utterly terrifying.
The ten glorious great suns were struck, unable to descend, and even began to dim.
Buddha Great Emperor was indeed incomparably powerful.
The Flame Emperor let out a slightly surprised sound. "Heh, I didn't expect this Buddha to have some skill, executing the Thousand-Handed Buddha. But a pity, it's ultimately unavoidable. To show my respect for you, I've decided to behead you with a single strike!"
Boom!—
The Flame Emperor's already immensely powerful aura suddenly soared once more, even surpassing that of Buddha Great Emperor. The entire Burial Immortal Realm began to collapse and disintegrate.
