Having slain Blue Cloud Monarch, Ye Chen felt little joy.
After all, as his cultivation steadily rose, slaying Ancient Monarchs had gradually become a routine matter for him.
Just as it had been in the past when he was at the Great Ability, God King, and Quasi-Monarch levels, slaying experts of the same tier was simply the norm.
Storing away Blue Cloud Monarch's form, now devoid of its True Spirit, and the Ice God Hall that had lost its luster and was covered in countless cracks, Ye Chen sat down cross-legged. He wantonly devoured the essence of the vast heavenly tribulation. After half an hour, he had finally recovered some of his vitality.
At this moment, the boundless sea of tribulation light and thunder was also slowly receding.
The vast tribulation had finally entered its concluding stage.
Ye Chen waved his hand, and ten towering, majestic Sealing Gates descended from the sky, appearing before him and rapidly shrinking in size.
Having undergone the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, all ten Sealing Gates had undergone a brand-new transformation. They became even more profound and unfathomable, flickering faintly. Each gate now bore a terrifying figure, as if a supreme existence was imprinted upon it.
The ten Monarch Puppets had completely merged into the ten Sealing Gates.
This sealing supreme treasure was finally successfully refined.
Looking at the ten Sealing Gates and sensing the vast power contained within them, Ye Chen revealed a faint smile. "Since the refinement is complete, it's time to test the might of the Sealing Gates."
At this moment, Ye Chen had his Great Emperor Reincarnation Body release one of the Ancient Monarchs trapped within the Myriad Realms style. Like Blue Cloud Monarch, this one was also at the Third Heaven Monarch level.
Upon suddenly finding himself free, that Third Heaven Monarch was filled with pleasant surprise.
Especially upon seeing Ye Chen, the Battle Saint King, right before him, his joy was even greater. He couldn't help but let out a loud laugh before immediately attacking.
"Sealing Gates!"
With a light shout from Ye Chen, the ten Sealing Gates instantly flew out, descending before that Sacred Emperor Domain Third Heaven Monarch.
"Hah, you think this so-called sealing object can suppress this Monarch? Break for me!"
The Sacred Emperor Domain Third Heaven Monarch roared, unleashing boundless Monarch Heavenly Might.
However, at this moment, the imprints of the Unrivaled Domain on the ten Sealing Gates suddenly erupted with Dao Might. This Monarch Heavenly Might was weakened by more than half, suffering immense suppression.
His expression changed. "What is this?"
Boom!
The ten Sealing Gates converged, and waves of terrifying, immeasurable sealing energy continuously descended upon him, suppressing his power to an even greater extent.
In an instant, his cultivation was suppressed by over eighty percent.
The remaining twenty percent was utterly insignificant.
"Not bad, not bad."
The smile on Ye Chen's lips deepened. Being able to suppress over eighty percent of a Third Heaven Monarch's combat power was equivalent to reducing a Third Heaven Monarch's strength to a level inferior even to a First Heaven Monarch.
Such Sealing Gates were truly fearsome.
And this was just their normal state. If they were to erupt with their full power, the result would be even more astonishing.
Simultaneously, before this Third Heaven Monarch could even attempt to resist, from each of the ten Sealing Gates stepped forth a majestic figure. All were equally terrifying, their divine forms immortal, gazing coldly at him.
"Monarchs! Ten Ancient Monarchs!" The Sacred Emperor Domain Third Heaven Monarch's expression drastically changed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ten Monarch Puppets moved simultaneously, launching a fierce assault on the Sacred Emperor Domain Third Heaven Monarch.
Boom!
With almost no power to resist, this powerful Third Heaven Monarch was blasted apart, his body shattered to dust.
The might of the Sealing Gates was terrifying to such an extent.
Ye Chen nodded with great satisfaction. Although he had already guessed at the power of the Sealing Gates, the result still exceeded his imagination in its potency.
He pointed a finger, utterly extinguishing this Third Heaven Monarch's True Spirit.
Next, he had his Great Emperor Reincarnation Body release a Fourth Heaven Monarch from the Sacred Emperor Domain. He employed the same method, though the resistance encountered was naturally far more terrifying.
Unfortunately, under the suppression of the Sealing Gates, his strength was still greatly reduced. Ye Chen himself also joined the fray, cooperating with the Sealing Gates. After a fierce battle, the monarch was ultimately blasted apart and his True Spirit annihilated.
Having slain two Ancient Monarchs in succession, one of them even a Fourth Heaven Monarch, Ye Chen's confidence grew significantly.
The Fourth Heaven Monarch was not the limit. He wanted to test them against a Fifth Heaven Monarch.
"Come, let me see how powerful a Fifth Heaven Monarch is, and whether the Sealing Gates can suppress one." Ye Chen was filled with anticipation.
Boom!
The moment that Fifth Heaven Monarch appeared, the entire starry sky almost collapsed.
A Fifth Heaven Monarch could absolutely be considered a true powerhouse among Ancient Monarchs. The strength of their combat power was immense, commanding at least over eighty thousand Monarch Rules, far surpassing Third or Fourth Heaven Monarchs by an unknown degree.
This was an Ancient Monarch from an alien imperial clan, none other than Anwu Junwang.
Numerous dark bat wings grew from his back, resembling a demonic existence. Boundless, sinister demonic energy rippled out, causing the myriad heavenly stars to dim many times over.
Previously, suppressed by the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, he hadn't been able to display such terrifying might, isolated by the illusory myriad realms manifested by the Myriad Realms style. Now that he had appeared, he immediately imposed an overwhelming, mountain-toppling, sea-draining sense of immense pressure upon Ye Chen's true self.
A Fifth Heaven Monarch was terrifying to such an extent.
Facing Anwu Junwang, whose strength far surpassed his own, Ye Chen took a deep breath. Then, with a wave of his hand, the ten Sealing Gates directly manifested between heaven and earth. Each one transformed to match the sky in height, like ten giant gates suppressing the myriad heavens.
Anwu Junwang's figure was incomparably massive, his Monarch Dharma Form also displayed. Looking down from his lofty position upon the ant-like Ye Chen below, he issued a thunderous voice like a great bell: "Battle Saint King, I never expected your courage to be so great, actually having this Super Monarch release this Monarch. I must say, your courage is truly not small."
Although Ye Chen's figure remained normal-sized, he didn't feel the slightest need to look up. He said calmly, "My courage has never been small. Today, I will even slay you."
Anwu Junwang sneered. Sensing the aura on Ye Chen, he frowned slightly, because he knew Ye Chen had not truly ascended to Ancient Monarch. Although extremely powerful, he was not a genuine Ancient Monarch.
His gaze then swept over the ten giant Sealing Gates standing in ten directions. He also sensed a faint, yet terrifying, heavenly tribulation aura and immediately understood. "So it wasn't you undergoing tribulation to ascend to Ancient Monarch. No wonder your aura, though strong, hasn't reached the level of rivaling this Monarch as imagined."
The monstrous talent of an Eternal Quasi-Monarch—once they achieved Ancient Monarch, many experts in the Sacred Emperor Domain camp believed they would likely be no weaker than a Fifth Heaven Monarch.
"However, these ten ancient gate artifacts are indeed quite good. This Monarch can sense that they are extraordinary, containing powerful sealing capabilities. They are probably anything but ordinary." Anwu Junwang, worthy of being a Fifth Heaven Monarch, could perceive the fearsome nature of the Sealing Gates.
