With those words spoken, as if they carried the mandate of heaven, the Ancient Heaven Emperor was utterly shattered!
It wasn't just because the Flame Emperor's words contained an overwhelming might that suppressed everything, but also because the Ancient Heaven Emperor's heart trembled, causing his already barely held-together Supreme Emperor's body to completely explode.
The damage inflicted by that Emperor Flame giant finger earlier was simply too immense. The fact that he had endured until now was only due to forcibly suppressing such injuries.
Now, the Flame Emperor's words, imbued with the peerless will of the strongest Emperor, acted like the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing him to completely collapse.
"Flame... Flame Emperor!?"
In the distance, Luan Shen Da Di watched the Flame Emperor who looked down upon Supreme Ones with invincibility, his heart similarly shaken.
Wasn't the Flame Emperor precisely that strongest Emperor who had recently caused a great stir throughout the Origin Ancient Path, was at the peak of his power, and had forcefully subdued the Seven Supreme Ones?
Although he had only appeared for ten months, the various rumors about the Flame Emperor had never ceased for a moment.
Appearing out of nowhere, subjugating the Seven Supreme Ones—such methods could truly be described as earth-shattering and awe-inspiring, something many Supreme Ones had never accomplished.
Yet, the Flame Emperor, relying on absolute combat power, had crushed all Great Emperors, forcibly establishing an extremely vast and immense Flame Emperor's Domain, spanning who knows how many billions of li, incorporating the vast territories of the former Seven Supreme Ones. Looking across the entire Origin Ancient Path, it was undoubtedly one of the top domains.
Without a doubt, even among the Supreme One level, the Flame Emperor was absolutely considered a legendary existence.
It was just that according to rumors, the Flame Emperor usually resided in the Flame Emperor's Domain, as he was constantly confronting several of the most terrifying giant enemies like Tai Sheng Huang and Dou Zhan Sheng Zu. So why had he suddenly appeared here now?
And why had he attacked the Ancient Heaven Emperor?
Could it be for this kid?
Luan Shen Da Di recalled the words the Flame Emperor had just spoken. This Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, a mere Ancient Monarch, seemed to be a friend of the Flame Emperor.
Thinking of this possibility, even Luan Shen Da Di couldn't help but feel his heart race with fear.
Who could have imagined that a mere Ancient Monarch was actually a friend of a strongest Emperor.
Luan Shen Da Di felt very fortunate that he hadn't attacked Ye Chen earlier. Otherwise, he believed his fate wouldn't have been much better than the Ancient Heaven Emperor's.
The multiple Emperor Thoughts and Immortal Thoughts that had probed into the Supreme One's domain also sensed all of this and were shocked.
The Flame Emperor had actually descended in person into the Supreme One's domain and attacked the Ancient Heaven Emperor.
Why on earth?
But sensing these Supreme One-level divine thoughts, the Flame Emperor snorted coldly and sealed off the Supreme One's domain, preventing these Emperor Thoughts and Immortal Thoughts from entering.
On the Origin Ancient Path, the various Supreme Ones withdrew their Emperor Thoughts and Immortal Thoughts, not daring to say much, as the Flame Emperor's strength was undeniable.
On the other hand, the Ancient Heaven Emperor reformed his body and spirit. Facing the Flame Emperor, even a powerful Great Emperor like him couldn't help but feel terror. A giant of the strongest Emperor level was someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke. He hurriedly said, "Lord Flame Emperor."
Facing a strongest Emperor, even an ancient Great Emperor had to show reverence and address him as 'Lord'!
This gap was akin to a monarch facing an Emperor—an absolute disparity.
The Flame Emperor glanced at the Ancient Heaven Emperor but paid him no further mind. That earlier attack had already inflicted absolute severe injuries upon him.
He then turned to look at the somewhat tattered Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. The Flame Emperor, who appeared eternally majestic even before ancient Great Emperors, now looked somewhat amused and exasperated. "I say, kid, you've only just arrived on the Origin Ancient Path for a short while, and you've already stirred up such a huge mess. You're really quite the troublemaker."
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body opened the Extinction Emperor Realm, and Ye Chen's true body appeared, also somewhat helplessly scratching his head. "I couldn't help it. I'd just arrived on the Origin Ancient Path when a First Heaven Sovereign kept provoking me repeatedly. I got angry and retaliated. We ended up in a big battle, and I had to expend immense effort to finally kill that guy. Who knew his superior Great Emperor would come seeking revenge."
The Flame Emperor was somewhat surprised. "Little Chen, you're saying you killed a First Heaven Sovereign?"
Luan Shen Da Di said with a bitter smile, "Lord Flame Emperor, not long ago, Di Yongheng killed Shi Jun, a subordinate of the Ancient Heaven Emperor. Many witnessed it; it is indeed true."
"Di Yongheng?" The Flame Emperor glanced at Ye Chen. "When did you change your name?"
Ye Chen spread his hands. "I didn't change my name. They just think I'm Di Yongheng."
"You're not Di Yongheng?"
Both Luan Shen Da Di and the Ancient Heaven Emperor were shocked. They had always thought Ye Chen was Di Yongheng. Otherwise, among Quasi-Monarchs, who else could kill Shi Jun, even if Shi Jun was only a First Heaven Sovereign?
To kill an Ancient Monarch while being a Quasi-Monarch, and without using other external means—aside from an Eternal Quasi-Monarch like Di Yongheng, who else could accomplish such a feat?
Ye Chen didn't even glance at the Ancient Heaven Emperor, turning to Luan Shen Da Di with a wry smile. "Senior Luan Shen, my real name is Ye Chen. Hmm, there's another title you might be slightly more familiar with. Most people call me the Dou Zhan Sheng Wang."
Luan Shen Da Di exclaimed in astonishment, "You are that Dou Zhan Sheng Wang who swept through the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Supreme Ancient Path, hailed as the number one genius of the Chaos Sea?"
"The one and only."
The Ancient Heaven Emperor was also deeply shocked. He had always thought Ye Chen was Di Yongheng, because he didn't believe anyone other than Di Yongheng, a suspected Eternal Quasi-Monarch, could kill Shi Jun.
He never expected there was another person, also an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, who had slain Shi Jun.
They both had a premonition that the Origin Ancient Path would also experience a great upheaval, because Eternal Quasi-Monarchs were not just one, but two.
The Flame Emperor looked at Ye Chen, sensing the sudden increase in the number of Sovereign rules within his body. In less than a year, they had actually doubled. Even he, a strongest Emperor who had seen countless monstrous geniuses, couldn't help but sigh. "Truly worthy of being an Eternal Quasi-Monarch. You, kid, have grown to this point in less than a year. I underestimated you."
Ye Chen smiled. Without those multiple Sovereign Origin Worlds, reaching this step would have been extremely difficult for him.
The Flame Emperor then looked at the Ancient Heaven Emperor and said to Ye Chen, "Little Chen, this guy has killing intent towards you. How do you want to retaliate?"
The Ancient Heaven Emperor was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Lord Flame Emperor, please forgive me. Earlier, I didn't know he was your friend. I am willing to offer compensation."
The Flame Emperor didn't even look at him, just kept his gaze on Ye Chen, meaning the decision was his.
Ye Chen looked at the Ancient Heaven Emperor. The Ancient Heaven Emperor showed reverence before the Flame Emperor, but facing Ye Chen, he appeared majestic, even with a hint of threat in his eyes.
An Eternal Quasi-Monarch, though capable of rivaling or even killing Ancient Monarchs, was still not in his eyes. He said indifferently, "Dou Zhan Sheng Wang, this Emperor is willing to compensate you."
