The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's divine might was like a prison, akin to an ancient emperor descending upon the mortal world. The powerful Second Heaven Monarch, the Crimson Blood Demon Monarch, was shattered with a single slap.
Utterly pulverized!
Even his Monarch Heavenly Soul was torn asunder.
Within the Star Sky of the Zui Baxian Hall, a collective gasp of cold air echoed.
Just who was this person?
A Monarch?
The four Ancient Monarchs from the alien race's Supreme Domain were clearly startled, feeling a sense of terror even when facing this seemingly young boy-like Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
That was the Crimson Blood Demon Monarch, a dignified Ancient Monarch, yet he was shattered with just a single slap.
Was it really that earth-shattering?
Ye Chen coldly looked at these enemies who had ambushed him, saying, "Do you know? I originally wanted to have a good time playing with you. But now you've thoroughly angered me. Five Monarchs attacking is one thing, but you actually used a Taboo Artifact of the Emperor level against me?"
"Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?"
Whoosh—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body soared through the air, arriving before another Second Heaven Monarch in an instant.
That Ancient Monarch's heart pounded with fear, immediately intending to use a Taboo Artifact to resist.
But it was too late. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was too fast, whether in movement or attack speed, reaching a shocking level.
A single, seemingly young fist shot out, containing a supreme might that suppressed everything, crushing and destroying as it struck.
Clang—
The Monarch battle armor manifested on the surface of this Second Heaven Monarch's body only held for a mere moment before completely dimming, pierced through. The fist plunged into the opponent's body, and the supreme might erupted.
Boom—
The second Ancient Monarch was forcefully blasted apart.
Immediately, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body did not stop, charging into the other Ancient Monarchs.
Boom— Boom—
Boom— …
Without a doubt, before the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, these so-called low-level Ancient Monarchs were far from being opponents.
The battle was one of crushing destruction, a completely one-sided suppression.
Within the Star Sky, blood light wantonly gushed, sweeping in all directions, causing a terrifying impact.
Once the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body appeared, even without using Emperor Dao Origin, the supreme might derived from the combination of its physical power and Emperor Dao Origin was completely no less than that of a high-level Monarch. Its strength surpassed these First and Second Heaven Monarchs by who knows how much, directly slapping them into dust, tearing apart both form and spirit.
As for the other seven Quasi-Monarchs who wielded Taboo Artifacts and displayed Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch level combat power, they were also easily captured.
Ye Chen suppressed those seven individuals.
As for the five Ancient Monarchs, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body forcefully blasted them apart time and again, never even inquiring about which alien Great Emperor was the mastermind behind the scenes.
They were all from the alien race's side anyway, of the same nature.
In the end, the five Ancient Monarchs perished, and strange phenomena manifested. Even outside, in Flame Emperor City, terrifying anomalies arose, startling the vast Domain.
...
Far away, countless billions of miles distant, within the Supreme Domain belonging to the alien race, ancient Emperors resided, and Supreme Ones contemplated the Dao.
At this moment, they all abruptly opened their eyes, their gazes containing the terrifying scene of epochs sinking into oblivion, looking far towards the location of Flame Emperor City.
"The assassination... has failed!"
...
Within the Star Sky of the Zui Baxian Hall, everyone looked at Ye Chen, then at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, their hearts filled with nothing but indescribable shock.
The Battle Saint King was an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, capable of fighting five Ancient Monarchs alone without defeat.
Yet that suddenly appearing mysterious little boy was even more terrifying, directly sweeping through everyone. Even the strongest Crimson Blood Demon Monarch was no match, shattered with a single slap.
Such capability could be said to far surpass ordinary Ancient Monarchs.
A Monarch?
And it was clearly evident that the Battle Saint King was very familiar with this mysterious little boy.
Seeing this scene, Gu Liu felt immense regret. Earlier, he had actually dared to challenge the Battle Saint King, even wanting to start a fight. But now, knowing Ye Chen's true identity, he was filled with awe and reverence.
First, because Ye Chen was a quasi-contemporary myth, an absolute myth within the Quasi-Monarch realm, having broken the limits of a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch to become an Eternal Quasi-Monarch.
His opponent could even fight five Ancient Monarchs alone, a level of strength far surpassing his own by who knows how much.
Second, because of Ye Chen's identity. Gu Liu, being a disciple of an ancient Great Emperor, understood some of the true inside story.
The Battle Saint King was a sworn friend of the Flame Emperor. Even a year ago, at the border between the Ancient Emperor Domain and the Chaotic God Emperor Domain, the Flame Emperor had spared no effort to act for the Battle Saint King, making the Ancient Emperor pay a heavy price.
Even though Gu Liu's master was an ancient Great Emperor, he would never dare to provoke the Battle Saint King.
A sworn friend of the strongest Emperor—even an ancient Great Emperor, in many situations, would need to show respect when facing him.
Third, because of the existence of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
As a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch and disciple of an ancient Great Emperor, he naturally understood the fearsomeness of a Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Nine times out of ten, it was a high-level Monarch of the Seventh Heaven or above, perhaps even more powerful.
With all these identities, statuses, and cultivation levels combined, not to mention Gu Liu, even Yan Shen fell more than a step short compared to Ye Chen.
At this moment, Gu Liu approached Ye Chen, clasping his fists in apology: "Battle Saint King, it was Gu's mistake earlier, offending you. Please forgive me."
Ye Chen said indifferently, "We are both people of the Flame Emperor Domain. There's no need for that."
As for the others, those earlier super-talents, Shangguan Ziqing and the rest, they had all retreated far enough away, fearing that Ye Chen would notice them and seek trouble.
Ye Chen, however, had no time to seek trouble with these people, nor would he lower himself to do so.
Regarding the Crimson Blood Demon Monarch and the others daring to infiltrate the Flame Emperor Domain to assassinate him and take his life, Ye Chen was undoubtedly furious. These alien races were becoming increasingly bold.
On the other hand, it could also be considered somewhat rewarding.
After all, he had killed the Crimson Blood Demon Monarch and the other five Ancient Monarchs. Coincidentally, they also became precious "nourishment" for expanding his Origin Universe.
With the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body present, breaking the seal of the Zui Baxian Hall's Star Sky was naturally not a problem.
The seal of the Zui Baxian Hall's Star Sky was broken, and the various powerhouses immediately contacted the outside world.
An Ancient Monarch from Flame Emperor City entered the Star Sky. After understanding everything, that Ancient Monarch directly clasped his fists towards Ye Chen and apologized: "Battle Saint King, our apologies. It was our negligence, allowing alien spies to lie dormant within the city."
Ye Chen waved his hand: "It's fine. These alien powerholds wielded Taboo Artifacts bestowed by a Supreme One. Even if a Supreme One didn't personally investigate, it would be difficult to detect the situation."
The Flame Emperor City Monarch immediately broke into a cold sweat. The alien race actually had a Supreme One involved as well.
But he also understood the heaven-defying nature of the Battle Saint King. This was probably the reason why the alien race spared no effort to kill the Battle Saint King.
A grand feast thus came to a hasty end.
However, Ye Chen's name had become known to all, with no one unaware.
After this battle, everyone saw Ye Chen's absolute strength, surpassing the Quasi-Monarch realm, capable of fighting Ancient Monarchs, and not just one.
The world gained a deeper understanding of the Battle Saint King's combat power level.
Only, under deliberate suppression, such news was unable to spread far and wide.
