Flame God truly felt the urge to vomit blood.
The Flame Emperor was so indifferent to his own personal disciple, yet so gentle towards Ye Chen. It was simply differential treatment.
However, he dared not voice any protest.
Ye Chen knew about Supreme-Level Domain Wars, but ordinary Supreme-Level Domain Wars couldn't possibly interest him, and the experience gained wouldn't be too significant.
Yet, he felt the Supreme-Level Domain War mentioned by the Flame Emperor might be extraordinary, not an ordinary one, so he asked, "What's special about this Supreme-Level Domain War?"
The Flame Emperor smiled. "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. This Supreme-Level Domain War isn't just a regular war between two Supreme Domains. It's a Supreme-Level Domain War between my Flame Emperor Domain and one of the Strongest Emperors. Perhaps you could call it a Giant-Level Domain War!"
Instantly, Ye Chen's heart shook.
A Giant-Level Domain War involved far more than just two or three Supreme Domains. Just the Supreme Domains under the command of the Flame Emperor Domain numbered seven, and the opponent's Supreme Domains were likely no fewer.
The Flame Emperor said, "Of course, the scale of a Giant-Level Domain War is far beyond comparison with an ordinary Supreme-Level Domain War. For instance, if the opponent has eight Supreme Domains and we have eight, that's a total of sixteen Supreme Domains going to war. It also gathers the super-powerful experts from all sixteen Supreme Domains. Even Ancient Monarchs can easily fall in such a Giant-Level Domain War."
Ancient Monarchs also had a chance of falling!
Ye Chen's mind trembled. One could imagine how terrifying this Giant-Level Domain War was.
"The Flame Emperor Domain has eight Supreme Domains?" Ye Chen was slightly startled, then said with pleasant surprise, "Old Flame, are you saying Chaos God Great Emperor has joined the Flame Emperor Domain?"
"Yes, right while you were comprehending the Dao, Chaos God Great Emperor agreed to join my Flame Emperor Domain," the Flame Emperor said with a smile.
Ye Chen was very happy. He had a good impression of Chaos God Great Emperor, having fought side by side with him. Moreover, with Chaos God Great Emperor's addition, the strength of the Flame Emperor Domain would reach another level.
One must know that on the Primordial Path, the game at the Giant level wasn't just between the Giants themselves; it was also a contest between the Supreme Ones under their command.
And the strength of a Supreme One was beyond doubt, overlooking the long river of time, transcending the ages and achieving immortality.
Only Giants of the Chaos Sea like the Strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings could look down upon them. Under normal circumstances, a single Supreme One was enough to dominate an entire Chaos Ancient Universe.
The Flame Emperor shook his head. "Ancient Heaven Great Emperor has also joined the side of the Strongest Emperor of the alien race. What a pity. If I had known earlier, I should have killed him back then."
Everyone present felt their scalps go numb.
Kill an Ancient Great Emperor?
Such arrogant words were probably only something a Strongest Emperor like the Flame Emperor could say.
However, overall, Ancient Heaven Great Emperor had had sixty percent of his Emperor Dao source extracted, his strength greatly reduced, so he couldn't pose too great a threat.
Afterwards, the Flame Emperor personally explained some details about Giant-Level Domain Wars to Ye Chen.
The Flame Emperor had only established the Flame Emperor Domain for about a year, so naturally, he hadn't participated in a Giant-Level Domain War yet. However, he could learn relevant information from other Giants.
Compared to ordinary Supreme-Level Domain Wars, Giant-Level Domain Wars were on a much higher level, almost akin to a cosmic-level war. The participation of a large number of super-powerful experts from over a dozen Supreme Domains was often accompanied by absolute brutality and conflict, bloodshed and burial, filled with a sense of tragedy.
Not to mention Great Powers, God Kings, and Quasi-Monarchs, even Ancient Monarchs could easily fall, and even Monarchs had a certain possibility of falling. One could imagine how perilous it was.
Naturally, it also came with absolute opportunities.
Because there were too many participants. So-called Saints, Heavenly Kings, even Great Powers served as soldiers; God Kings were like regimental commanders; Quasi-Monarchs were numerous; and Ancient Monarchs could easily involve collisions of over a hundred. It was imaginable.
Under certain circumstances, even Supreme Ones might take action.
Once an opponent fell, the various treasures left behind could be seized, all taken for oneself. They could also be handed over to the treasury to obtain a certain amount of wealth value, exchangeable for other supreme treasures.
These were the Giant treasuries of both sides' Strongest Emperors, containing nothing but supreme treasures. Some of these treasures could even tempt Supreme Ones.
Flame God immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Master, your disciple wishes to participate in the Giant-Level Domain War."
The Flame Emperor nodded. Even if Flame God hadn't spoken up, he had planned to send him to the war.
As his disciple, how could he cultivate in a greenhouse? He needed to participate in wars of this level for his own growth to truly take off.
Ye Chen also smiled. "Good, I'll participate too."
He was quite looking forward to such a Giant-Level Domain War. He might be able to advance further, improving in all aspects.
Moreover, if he could devour the world sources of fallen Ancient Monarchs, he would undoubtedly become even stronger.
The Flame Emperor also thought of this layer and smiled slightly. "Come, before you participate in the Giant-Level Domain War, let me fulfill the promise I made to you back then."
Ye Chen's eyes grew hot.
The three Monarchs of the alien race!
He just didn't know how much his strength would improve after devouring and refining them.
He was looking forward to it...
Half a year later, the annual Epoch List was released.
As only a year had passed, there were basically no major changes in the various rankings on the Epoch List. Only the lowest-level Epoch Demigod List, Epoch God Transformation List, and Epoch Saint List showed some ranking changes.
As for the higher-level lists like Heavenly King, Great Power, and God King, the short span of a year was simply not enough for significant changes.
It was worth mentioning that Flame God entered the forefront of the Epoch Quasi-Monarch List, ranking thirtieth.
He was officially recognized as an Inverse Heaven Quasi-Monarch, and the evaluation of him was also quite high.
After all, he was also a disciple of the Flame Emperor.
But soon, everyone discovered that the rankings of many powerful figures originally on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch List had suddenly dropped by one level.
Looking directly at the very front—
Battle Saint King, boldly ascended to first place.
Cultivation level: Eternal Quasi-Monarch.
The evaluation was extremely high, calling him the first person to kill an Ancient Monarch with the body of a Quasi-Monarch, without relying on any external means.
Such strength was enough to rank first!
The original first-place Di Yongheng was suppressed to second place, and so on. Divine Son Qian Xunyue became the third...
Undoubtedly, this caused another uproar on the Primordial Path.
Originally, the notion that Battle Saint King was an Eternal Quasi-Monarch was just speculation. But now, even an authoritative list like the Epoch Quasi-Monarch List ranked him first. It was clear there was no mistake.
"He really is an Eternal Quasi-Monarch!"
"I originally thought Battle Saint King only managed to kill Sovereign Shi because he inherited means from the Primordial Emperor Realm and Immortal Realm. But now it seems he has truly become an Eternal Quasi-Monarch."
"Is he really an Eternal Quasi-Monarch? But that doesn't necessarily mean he's stronger than Di Yongheng. After all, Di Yongheng back then wasn't much inferior to Ancient Monarchs. After so many years, his cultivation must have advanced further."
"The blame can only be placed on Di Yongheng for not having taken action, so he can only temporarily settle for second place."
"What a pity..."
...
The sudden emergence of Ye Chen, this Eternal Quasi-Monarch, broke Di Yongheng's previous dominance of the Epoch Quasi-Monarch List, ushering in a new epoch.
Countless people across the entire Primordial Path focused their attention on this.
However, regarding whether Battle Saint King was truly the number one, countless people felt it wasn't necessarily so. Di Yongheng was incredibly mysterious, never having taken action. He was likely not much weaker, perhaps even stronger.
