Thirteen attacks—five from Ancient Monarchs and eight from Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs—enveloped Ye Chen from every direction, leaving him no room to evade or retreat!
"This is bad! There are Ancient Monarchs lying in wait, targeting this kid!" Gu Liu was the first to realize it, but he was equally astonished. Who exactly was this youth, to provoke so many super-powerful beings into action?
"Who dares to strike within Flame Emperor City!" Flame God roared in fury, immediately summoning his Flame God Hammer, ready to intervene.
"No need to act. I'll handle it!"
Boom—
Ye Chen no longer concealed himself. A terrifying aura erupted from him in an instant, like the sun rising. An overwhelming presence that surpassed even Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs surged forth, devouring heaven and earth.
Compared to this, even the two Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs, Gu Liu and Flame God, were merely bright moons beside the sun—utterly insignificant. The other Quasi-Monarchs in the Zui Baxian Hall were like distant stars in comparison, negligible.
Boom—
At this moment, even with the Dao secret patterns of an Ancient Monarch reinforcing it, the Zui Baxian Hall could not withstand the pressure and exploded.
Countless people within the hall tumbled onto the Zui Baxian Star.
In this starry sky, the other nine stars sensed this terrifying aura, all gazing in shock toward the Zui Baxian Star.
"So powerful!"
"Is he truly an Ancient Monarch!?" Gu Liu was stunned.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Facing the numerous terrifying assaults, Ye Chen underwent a sudden transformation—from a peaceful mortal to an invincible war god, his aura swallowing all directions, dominating the cosmos as he struck with overwhelming force.
With a flick of his finger, the Spirit-Sword Finger shot forth, transforming into countless layers of sword radiance that clashed with the thirteen fierce attacks.
The five Ancient Monarch-level attacks were barely hindered, but the seven Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch-level assaults were rapidly weakened under the endless sword radiance, gradually dissipating into nothingness.
Simultaneously, he unleashed five supreme divine abilities in succession, colliding with the five Ancient Monarch attacks.
Even attacks at the Ancient Monarch level, at most comparable to five or six thousand Sovereign rules, could not inflict much harm on Ye Chen. They were shattered one by one with thunderous force.
Moreover, the terrifying collision force that could annihilate entire star domains was diverted by Ye Chen, sparing the surroundings from significant impact.
Everyone in the Zui Baxian Hall was utterly shaken.
This Ye Chen was actually such a peerless powerhouse!
Such a young Ancient Monarch!
The hidden attackers were also taken aback. Though they had repeatedly overestimated the Battle Saint King's strength, they had still underestimated him.
Ye Chen's cold snort suddenly echoed through the Zui Baxian Hall: "Alien assassins, you've finally come. But you're not from the alien races yourselves—you can't enter the Flame Emperor Domain. You must be the subordinates of those alien Supreme Ones!"
"You really think highly of me, Ye!"
His gaze swept across the area, combined with his supreme and invincible Chaos Saint Soul power, surging forth to scan the region. Immediately, over a dozen figures were forced out—exactly the thirteen from earlier.
Now that they were exposed, the thirteen no longer concealed themselves. They tore away their disguises, all erupting with power. The weakest among them was comparable to a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, while five others were at the Ancient Monarch level.
Under the eruption of thirteen terrifying auras, the entire Zui Baxian Star could no longer endure. The many Dao secret patterns inscribed upon it were ground into nothingness, and finally, the star exploded.
The various powerhouses tumbled into the starry sky, then hurriedly fled toward other stars in terror.
Only those Quasi-Monarchs, confident in their skills, remained in the area, watching from a distance.
"'Sen,' the Ancient Monarch from the Ancient Elephant Imperial Domain!"
"The Black Demon Monarch from the Dark Heaven Imperial Domain is here too!"
"And the Crimson Blood Demon Monarch!"
...
Exclamations rose one after another, for every one of the arrivals was a renowned super-powerhouse from the alien Supreme One domains. The five leaders were especially famous Ancient Monarchs.
Throughout the entire Primordial Path, they held formidable reputations.
Now, with so many hostile Supreme One domain Ancient Monarchs appearing in person, the numerous Quasi-Monarchs felt their hearts pounding.
Why had such a terrifying lineup suddenly emerged?
Glancing at Ye Chen, they immediately understood—it was likely targeting him.
Just who was this Ye Chen, to attract so many alien Imperial Domain powerhouses? Eight Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs and five Ancient Monarchs!
"Damn it!" Flame God's expression changed drastically. Such a lineup of alien Supreme One domain super-powerhouses had entered Flame Emperor City undetected and come to assassinate Ye Chen—it was utterly unforgivable.
He hastily took out a token and crushed it, but the ripples of energy could not spread outward smoothly. He immediately realized this area was sealed off, preventing contact with the outside world.
With a grim expression, Flame God relayed this news to Ye Chen: "The starry sky of Zui Xian Lou is sealed. We can't contact the outside world, and even if the outside wants to detect anomalies here, it will take some time. During this period, it will be very dangerous."
Ye Chen calmly said, "Don't worry. With me here, they won't be able to stir up much trouble."
Flame God was taken aback. Even now, Ye Chen remained so composed and natural.
Though he knew Ye Chen was incredibly strong, capable of suppressing a First Heaven Sovereign, how could he contend against five Ancient Monarchs?
Even reviving the Desolate Heaven Great Halberd might not yield favorable results.
After all, since the enemy dared to come, they must be well-prepared, perhaps even carrying Supreme Emperor Weapons.
He simply didn't know about the existence of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Aside from the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, the Supreme Ancient Domain, the Ultimate Ancient Domain, and those closest to him in the Sealed Universe, almost no one in the Primordial Path knew that the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was Ye Chen's strongest Dao Body.
But seeing Ye Chen's calm and collected demeanor, Flame God nodded, choosing to believe.
"Battle Saint King, your potential is too great. Today, you must die!" snorted the leader among the thirteen. He had a red face and a single horn, appearing fierce and burly—the renowned Crimson Blood Demon Monarch. His terrifying aura spread wantonly, causing the many Quasi-Monarchs in Zui Xian Lou's starry sky to pale. Those below Quasi-Monarch—many Great Abilities, Heavenly Kings, and Saints—could not withstand it and were crushed to dust.
"Today is your death day!"
Swish—
In his hand appeared a massive death scythe adorned with a skull, interwoven with crimson Dao patterns, shimmering with bloody light as it rose and swept toward Ye Chen with a whoosh.
Simultaneously, the thirteen attacked again, unleashing another thirteen assaults that converged to kill Ye Chen, cleverly sealing off his every direction.
"Battle Saint King!?"
"The Battle Saint King, ranked first on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking?"
"The legendary Eternal Quasi-Monarch said to be no less than Di Yongheng—is that him?"
...
Countless people were shocked, including Gu Liu, whose expression was one of horror.
