Ye Chen started looking from the hundredth place on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, discovering that being listed on it was not simply a matter of being a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch; they also mastered some terrifying means.
Some of the means mastered by Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs even made him gasp in astonishment.
Some Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs, when unleashing their full power, could even rival an ordinary Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
The strongest Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch had mastered as many as four hundred and ninety-nine Monarch Rules, just one step away from becoming a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. Relying on various means, even a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch would find it difficult to gain the slightest advantage against them.
This was the most powerful Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch existence, not inferior to a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
"If the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Supreme Ancient Domain gather the most terrifying group of young geniuses from the entire Chaos Sea, then the Origin Ancient Path gathers the strongest experts of various realms from the Chaos Sea," Ye Chen said.
When he reached the thirty-third place, Ye Chen paid close attention, because from this point onward, the rankings were at the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level.
The rankings for Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs were more rigorous. They themselves had reached the peak in all aspects, and the gaps that could influence the rankings between them were very small, though of course, factors like Dao weapons and artifacts could widen the distance.
There were also some extremely heaven-defying and special secret techniques listed among them, serving as criteria for judgment.
But in truth, the differences between them were not great, with only vague standards.
"Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, thirty-third place,
Name: Ye Cuican.
Title: Resplendent Star Lord.
Race: Ye Imperial Clan.
Origin: Alien Ancient Universe.
Cultivation: Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Cultivation Technique: Thousand Nights Emperor Heaven Art.
Strongest Divine Ability: Eternal Night Resplendence.
Dao Weapon: Resplendent Star River.
Bloodline: Third generation of the Ye Imperial Clan.
Evaluation: Being able to become a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch is enough to illustrate Ye Cuican's extraordinariness. He can sweep away all Quasi-Monarchs below the Heaven-Defying level, hailed as an invincible existence among Quasi-Monarchs.
Because his promotion time is only a thousand years, which is still short, and he has no record of dueling other Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs, he is temporarily ranked thirty-third on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking.
One year ago, perished in the Sealed Boundary Universe."
Ye Chen was startled. He never expected the first Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch he saw on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking to be Ye Cuican.
He just didn't expect that the news of Ye Cuican's demise in the Sealed Boundary Universe was also known.
"Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, thirty-second place..."
Ye Chen browsed all the way. The Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking recorded the various Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs in great detail. At the very least, all the means these Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs had displayed so far were recorded, as were their Dao weapons and artifacts. Even some little-known means were recorded.
It was evident that the organization compiling the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking had great capability, at least within the scope of the Origin Ancient Path. They understood many important pieces of information unknown to others, and even Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs could not avoid having quite a lot of information about them uncovered.
"Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, twenty-third place,
Name: Xue Linglong.
Title: Blood Empress.
Race: Blood Prison Imperial Clan.
Origin: Chaos Primordial Great World 'Blood Prison Ancient Realm'.
Cultivation: Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Cultivation Technique: Blood Prison Emperor Art.
Strongest Divine Ability: Blood Prison.
Dao Weapon: Blood Sword.
Bloodline: Eighth generation of the Blood Prison Imperial Clan.
Evaluation: ..."
Ye Chen saw a familiar name—the Blood Empress, who had once chased him in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, putting him in an extremely awkward situation.
Of course, if they were to face each other now, the one in an awkward situation would only be the Blood Empress.
"Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, eighteenth place,
Name: Mysterious Person.
Title: Unknown.
Race: Unknown.
Origin: Unknown.
Cultivation: Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Cultivation Technique: Suspected Chaos Dao Art.
Strongest Divine Ability: Unknown.
Dao Weapon: Unknown.
Bloodline: Unknown.
Evaluation: Appeared out of nowhere on the Tian Cang battlefield one year ago, sweeping away the Quasi-Monarchs of various major forces, seizing one-tenth of an Emperor Dao Origin, clashed head-on with Magnus, ranked nineteenth on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, and forced Magnus to retreat. Seemed slightly stronger than Magnus, hence ranked eighteenth on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking."
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh. This mysterious person was undoubtedly himself. Back then, he had indeed barged into the Tian Cang battlefield. He never expected to be considered a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch and ranked eighteenth.
One must know that among the top thirty-three on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, every single one was a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch existence. Being able to rank eighteenth was simply because he had made the originally eighteenth-ranked Magnus suffer a loss back then, causing his ranking to suddenly climb to eighteenth.
This was something even Ye Chen himself had never expected.
He continued browsing, gradually learning about the situations of other Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs. Some were offspring of Supreme Ones, some mastered forbidden-level treasures, and some had even obtained the inheritance of Ancient Great Emperors, inheriting Emperor Realms and Emperor Weapons.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's expression froze because he saw the second place, which shocked him.
"Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, second place,
Name: Qian Xun Yue.
Title: Child of God.
Race: Human.
Origin: Sealed Boundary Universe.
Cultivation: Strongest Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Cultivation Technique: Unknown.
Strongest Divine Ability: Unknown.
Dao Weapon: Unknown.
Bloodline: Unknown.
Evaluation: Qian Xun Yue, who hails from the Sealed Boundary Universe, can be called an extremely mysterious existence, having only suddenly appeared on the Origin Ancient Path seventy years ago.
Originally, regarding Qian Xun Yue, although he had defeated a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, he was only evaluated as a relatively powerful Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch.
But twenty years ago, in the 'Dou Gu' Supreme-level Domain War, Qian Xun Yue made a powerful move, displaying his Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch combat power. He swept away the Quasi-Monarchs of nine Supreme Domains, consecutively slaying forty-nine Quasi-Monarchs, including eleven Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs, and even powerfully defeated four Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs, becoming one of the strongest Quasi-Monarchs on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking with an invincible posture.
In the 'Dou Gu' Supreme-level Domain War, even the alien Dark Heaven Imperial Clan Sovereign 'An Xu' personally took action, intending to eliminate Qian Xun Yue. But Qian Xun Yue displayed astonishing means, clashing head-on with the alien Ancient Monarch and retreating completely unscathed, safe and sound.
Based on certain understandings, Qian Xun Yue is suspected to possess a complete Supreme inheritance, including a Supreme Great World and a flawless Emperor Weapon.
He is also suspected to be the direct disciple of the strongest Emperor or Immortal King, with limitless potential.
Based on his glorious achievements in the Supreme-level Domain War, it is judged that Qian Xun Yue possesses the peerless combat power to duel Ancient Monarchs, surpassing Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs. Excluding various disputes, he is ranked second on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking!"
A series of 'Unknowns' on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking clearly indicated that even the organization behind the compilation of the Epoch Ranking did not truly understand the various aspects of Qian Xun Yue.
Qian Xun Yue, a person hailed as the Child of God, had always appeared so mysterious and elusive. His master was actually suspected to be the strongest Emperor. From all this, it was evident that he was absolutely extraordinary.
Ye Chen's expression was complex. Qian Xun Yue—he had only ever heard the name, never seen the person. He never expected that Qian Xun Yue had come to the Origin Ancient Path and forged such a great reputation, ranking second on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking.
But if Qian Xun Yue was already this formidable, who was the first person on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking?
He looked at the first place on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking and was instantly shaken.
