Within the Flame Emperor Domain, many were seeing Ye Chen for the first time. Although they constantly heard various legends about him, seeing that he was actually so young was quite startling.
However, after confirmation from multiple sources, everyone understood what kind of earth-shattering power was contained within this seemingly young, handsome, and jade-like youth, and they all felt reverence.
Various voices filled with reverence arose one after another.
Many female powerhouses even looked at him with fiery eyes.
Ye Chen nodded faintly with a smile to each of them, then entered the Flame Emperor Hall.
The Flame Emperor Hall was extremely magnificent and vast, no less grand than the Zui Baxian Hall, perhaps even larger, and exceptionally solemn and splendid.
Various wondrous scenes of the cosmic starry sky were also present.
The Flame Emperor Hall was sufficiently grand and immense, divided into many areas, each with different functions.
In the central area, suspended in mid-air, were eighteen magnificent and noble Great Dao thrones. Each one was lofty, drawing upon the myriad Daos, all extraordinary.
Those who could sit upon such Great Dao thrones were naturally no ordinary individuals.
Ancient Monarchs!
On each of the eighteen Great Dao thrones sat a figure, all taking human form, their races unclear, but without exception, they were all genuine Ancient Monarchs.
Even Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs like Yan Shen and Gu Liu were not qualified to sit upon them.
These eighteen Ancient Monarchs were precisely the ones representing Flame Emperor City in this battle; they did not include the Ancient Monarchs from the other eight Supreme Domains.
Their eyes were slightly closed as they comprehended the Great Dao.
Even in a giant-level Domain War, such Ancient Monarchs would not easily take action, only doing so under special circumstances.
Whoosh—
The moment Ye Chen stepped into the Flame Emperor Hall, these Ancient Monarchs opened their eyes one after another, revealing astonishing phenomena that made all the powerhouses within the hall tremble with fear.
"Battle Saint King!"
"Saint King!" ...
Within the Flame Emperor Hall, from the lofty Great Dao thrones, several Ancient Monarchs greeted Ye Chen with smiles.
They all acknowledged Ye Chen's strength. Although he was only a Quasi-Monarch, his true power was in no way inferior to that of an Ancient Monarch.
Even the battle within the starry sky at the Zui Baxian Tower—
Made people recognize the Battle Saint King's strength even more.
To fight five Monarchs alone—such capability was something even an ordinary Second Heaven Monarch would find difficult to achieve.
This led to the various Monarchs in the Flame Emperor Hall recognizing Ye Chen's strength and considering him qualified to sit as their equal.
Ye Chen also greeted these Ancient Monarchs one by one.
Within the Flame Emperor Hall, a new Great Dao throne rose up, and the Monarchs invited Ye Chen to sit upon it.
To sit as an equal!
Ye Chen did not stand on ceremony. With a single step, he sat upon it.
The moment he sat on the Great Dao throne, Ye Chen immediately understood: this seat was called a Monarch Throne.
As the name implied, only Ancient Monarchs had the qualification to sit upon such a Great Dao throne.
Moreover, he clearly felt that, by relying on the Monarch Throne, his perception and thoughts were amplified several times over, faintly granting him a sense of control over the Domain War battlefield.
"Battle Saint King, can you sense it?" asked an Ancient Monarch beside him with a smile. It was precisely that First Heaven Monarch who had once clashed with Ye Chen and been suppressed by him, named Han Zhen.
Ye Chen nodded.
The Monarch Throne was indeed extraordinary, actually possessing such wonderful effects.
Naturally, those who could become Ancient Monarchs were no simple individuals. In the entire giant-level Domain War battlefield, they were all commander-level figures.
To give them a clearer grasp of the Domain War battlefield, such Monarch Thrones had been created.
First, status.
An almost absolute status. Even Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs like Yan Shen and Gu Liu were not qualified to sit upon a Monarch Throne.
Once seated upon a Monarch Throne, it also represented being one of the supreme commanders of the hundreds of millions of troops on the Flame Emperor Domain's side, capable of commanding endless armies.
Anyone below the level of an Ancient Monarch could be ordered.
Of course, as commanders, they generally would not mobilize troops, only doing so at critical moments or during the final great battle.
Second, control over the battlefield.
Having Ancient Monarchs as commanders, their grasp of the Domain War battlefield's situation was beneficial for the course of the war.
The Monarch Throne's several-fold enhancement of perception and thoughts was even more advantageous for directing the army's attacks.
Sitting upon the Monarch Throne, Ye Chen's perception, aided by the throne, quickly extended beyond the Immortal Hall, sensing the situation on the Holy Prison Domain War battlefield. He soon gained a general understanding.
The giant-level Domain War had begun less than a year ago. Neither side had deeply entered the battlefield, nor had they truly clashed more than a few times.
The few clashes that could be counted on one hand were merely minor skirmishes; both sides were merely in a state of confrontation.
Neither knew much about the other, unclear about the other's lineup.
Relying on the Monarch Throne, his divine sense could expand to its limit, covering at least nearly one-tenth of the Holy Prison Domain War battlefield.
This range already exceeded what the divine sense of an ordinary Ancient Monarch could detect.
Naturally, the stronger one was, the vaster the territory one could detect with the aid of the Monarch Throne.
For example, the Monarch on the foremost throne, with the aid of his Monarch Throne, could likely perceive at least half of the Domain War battlefield, perhaps even more.
Of course, to prevent the Flame Emperor Domain from exploring various situations about their own side, the Holy Emperor Domain had set up considerable shielding arrays that could effectively block the Flame Emperor Domain's powerhouses from probing the Holy Emperor Domain. At most, they could only explore ninety percent of the Holy Emperor Domain's territory; the core territory was difficult to detect.
Similarly, the Holy Emperor Domain's exploration of the Flame Emperor Domain was the same.
Having roughly understood the relevant situation, Ye Chen was in no hurry to enter the Domain War battlefield to hunt Holy Emperor Domain powerhouses and accumulate points.
For him, points were not of much use; that is to say, the Supreme Treasure Vault was not very useful to him either, since he himself was a walking treasure trove.
His target was the Supreme Emperor's Traces within the Holy Prison Domain War battlefield, the peerless treasures related to the fall of the four Supreme Ones in ancient times, the supreme treasure that even the Flame Emperor spoke of with longing.
As for other things, even Supreme Inheritances held little attraction.
Of course, if it were Emperor Dao Origin, Supreme Corpse, Emperor Dao Essence Blood, Supreme Emperor Weapon, Origin Emperor World, etc., that would be another matter.
Especially an Origin Emperor World. If he could devour one, Ye Chen might be able to increase his power by dozens or even hundreds of times.
In fact, a long time ago, Ye Chen had wanted to experiment with the Extinction Emperor World to see how much his Origin Universe would transform after devouring an Origin Emperor World.
First, the Great Emperor's reincarnation body's strength would decline.
Currently, the Great Emperor's reincarnation body was his greatest trump card. Combined with all aspects, its power was absolutely not inferior to the Monarch level, perhaps even stronger.
Ye Chen was not yet willing to see the Great Emperor's reincarnation body suffer the slightest decline in strength.
Second, he still had the Origin Worlds of the three alien Monarchs that he had not completely devoured yet, so he could take his time.
Of course, the idea of devouring an Origin Emperor World, even a remnant world, was exceptionally tempting.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Emperor's Traces were relics left behind by Supreme Ones. Such Emperor's Trace locations were deeply hidden; even with the aid of a Monarch Throne, they were difficult to detect. They needed to be gradually explored as the Domain War progressed.
For now, only one suspected location of Supreme Emperor's Traces had been detected, located in the central region of the Holy Prison Domain War battlefield.
That region was called the Burial Emperor Zone.
