A third heaven monarch from the Sacred Emperor Domain said, "Battle Saint King, originally you could have delayed for a while by hiding within the heavenly tribulation, and we would have been unable to do anything to you. Yet you, fearing nothing, directly emerged. Since you seek death, today we shall let you fall completely!"
The seven Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain made their move. Infinite might blasted over, carrying the boundless power to tear apart the starry sky, its terror immeasurable.
Whoosh—
Silently, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body appeared. A single punch was thrown, containing supreme might that tore through everything, forcibly annihilating the combined attack of the seven Ancient Monarchs, unable to cause the slightest harm to Ye Chen.
"A Super Monarch?"
The seven Ancient Monarchs changed color, sensing the terrifying nature of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, their hearts sinking heavily.
With such a Super Monarch-level existence protecting the Battle Saint King, they simply could not strike to kill him.
Conversely, even they, the seven of them, were in danger.
Rumors said the Battle Saint King was a sworn friend of the Flame Emperor. Indeed, it was true. He had actually dispatched such a Super Monarch as a guardian to protect the Battle Saint King's safety.
What a miscalculation.
Ye Chen looked at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and said, "You deal with six of them. Leave that one for me."
He pointed at one of them, speaking to himself, but this was to conceal the identity of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body as his own Dao body.
This was his trump card. Currently, the imperial clans and immortal clans of the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain could not transmit information; otherwise, these alien races would have known long ago.
"Good!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, expressionless, manifested the projection of the Extinction Emperor Realm, directly enveloping six of the Ancient Monarchs. "Now, this monarch will personally deal with you six."
Boom—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body made its move, unleashing the Myriad Realms Style. Instantly, illusory myriad heavens and realms materialized. Combined with the empowerment of supreme might, they became many times more real, as if the true myriad heavens and realms had descended, enveloping the six Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain faction, preventing their escape.
On the scene, only one third heaven monarch remained.
It was the one Ye Chen had designated.
That third heaven Ancient Monarch clad in icy blue armor looked somewhat bewildered at the scene before him, seemingly not fully comprehending.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Don't worry. Your opponent is me."
The third heaven monarch seemed to have heard the biggest joke—the Battle Saint King actually wanted to challenge him.
"Battle Saint King, although this monarch doesn't understand where your confidence comes from, daring to face this monarch alone. Logically speaking, if you hid behind that Super Monarch, the seven of us would be helpless against you. But you appear alone. I'm afraid your confidence in your Eternal Quasi-Monarch self is great, truly believing you can deal with a third heaven monarch like me."
Ye Chen glanced at him. "Enough nonsense. A mere third heaven monarch isn't enough to make me afraid."
The more he spoke like this, the more the third heaven monarch laughed uncontrollably. Yet amidst his laughter, waves of terrifying heavenly might, capable of crushing the river of time, rippled around him, wantonly spreading, its terror beyond measure.
"Since that's the case, today this monarch will make an arrogant brat like you properly understand the power of a third heaven monarch."
The third heaven monarch from the Sacred Emperor Domain was named Blue Cloud Monarch. In his hand now appeared a palace shimmering with blue light, like an Ice God Hall—it was Blue Cloud Monarch's Monarch Immortal Weapon.
Holding the azure hall aloft, thousands upon thousands of Monarch Rules surged around him.
A third heaven monarch mastered at least over eight thousand Monarch Rules. Blue Cloud Monarch mastered a full nine thousand three hundred, clearly stronger than an ordinary third heaven monarch.
At this moment, as the numerous Monarch Rules extended, this stretch of heaven and earth suddenly became many times colder. Even the heavenly tribulation raging in the distance was greatly suppressed, receding considerably.
Boom—
Blue Cloud Monarch made his move. Wielding the Ice God Hall, he propelled over nine thousand Monarch Rules, primarily of the ice attribute Great Dao. With this strike, the starry sky across a vast expanse froze solid, becoming extremely frigid.
"Die, you arrogant Battle Saint King brat!"
Blue Cloud Monarch sneered coldly, filled with contempt.
Boom—
But at this moment, Ye Chen merely threw a single punch, forcibly shattering this ice-cold power that had frozen billions of li, turning it into powder dancing in the sky, including the many Monarch Rules scattering away as if exploded.
Boundless radiance flashed. Ye Chen stepped through the void, traversing the starry sky, looking at the utterly shocked Blue Cloud Monarch with a cold laugh. "Is this your so-called attack? Pathetic!"
Blue Cloud Monarch couldn't believe it, staring wide-eyed at Ye Chen. "Impossible. You cannot be that powerful."
Ye Chen said expressionlessly, "Ten years ago, within Flame Emperor City, I fought five Ancient Monarchs to a near standstill. Today, my strength has grown considerably compared to back then. Do you, a so-called third heaven monarch, think yourself invincible under heaven, capable of killing me? Let me tell you, my physical and spiritual power alone is enough to rival ten thousand Monarch Rules."
Boom—
As he spoke, Ye Chen attacked. His physical and spiritual power displayed its utmost extremity. Terrifying power surged forth continuously, then erupted from his fist, blooming with boundless light before blasting towards Blue Cloud Monarch.
Blue Cloud Monarch changed color, instinctively moving to block, defending before him.
Boom—
That fist carried boundless might, crashing over with overwhelming force as if capable of tearing apart everything, landing heavily on Blue Cloud Monarch's body.
Boom—
Blue Cloud Monarch was sent flying backward. The icy blue battle armor on his body clanged mournfully, developing numerous cracks.
There, a clearly visible fist imprint appeared, carrying absolute physical and spiritual power. Even Monarch Rules couldn't withstand it; even monarch-level battle armor couldn't hold. It almost completely pierced through Blue Cloud Monarch's entire body.
Blue Cloud Monarch coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, his face filled with horror.
Impossible!
The Battle Saint King was only a Quasi-Monarch. Even in the midst of tribulation for advancement, he shouldn't be this powerful.
But the Battle Saint King before him was powerful beyond imagination.
"Because I am the Battle Saint King!"
Ye Chen uttered indifferently, simple words yet extremely domineering. He swung his Chaos Saint Fist, and at this moment, the one thousand seven hundred Monarch Rules he had mastered also manifested.
Clang, clang, clang—
Nearly twelve thousand Monarch Rule power was displayed, blasting apart the starry sky, sweeping dominantly towards Blue Cloud Monarch.
"Even so, you are not my match!"
Blue Cloud Monarch roared. The power of his origin world surged forth, combined with his Monarch Rules, rivaling thirteen thousand Monarch Rules. Moreover, the Ice God Hall descended. Combined, his true power actually surpassed twenty thousand Monarch Rules.
