At this point, there was no doubt that the Flame Emperor Domain camp held the absolute upper hand.
Even the twenty monarchs led by the other three Super Monarchs were being suppressed by the combined force of forty Ancient Monarchs from the Flame Emperor Domain camp. Casualties had begun to appear among them, and the situation showed signs of worsening.
"Damn it, haven't Dark Witch and the others finished off the Battle Saint King yet? What a bunch of useless trash."
The monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp were growing increasingly anxious, raising their heads to look at the heavens above. However, their senses were blocked and shielded at the highest reaches of the firmament, preventing them from effectively perceiving what was happening.
A vague sense of foreboding began to creep into their hearts.
It had been quite some time since Dark Witch Monarch and the other six monarchs had gone to assassinate him, yet there had been no reaction whatsoever. They couldn't help but suspect that something had gone terribly wrong.
Yet, they had no energy to spare for it now.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the highest reaches of the heavens split open. The sealed and shielded expanse of starry space was unveiled, revealing two figures, one large and one small.
Upon seeing these two figures, the powerhouses of the Flame Emperor Domain camp breathed a sigh of relief, while the hearts of the monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain camp sank.
For these two figures were none other than Ye Chen and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
"Damn it! Why isn't he dead? Seven Ancient Monarchs went to kill him, and he's still alive! Why!"
Below, Xu Chengzi was filled with utter resentment and boundless hatred.
He roared inwardly, wishing for Ye Chen's immediate death.
"Ye Chen, are you alright?" Wu Shang glanced at Ye Chen. Naturally, he recognized him, having been introduced by the Flame Emperor back in Flame Emperor City. However, this was the first time he had seen the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body standing beside him.
For some reason, he sensed a faint, elusive aura of danger emanating from this boy-like Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. It was as if this small boy contained some unimaginably terrifying, world-destroying power within him, capable of annihilating heaven and earth once unleashed.
Even he felt a sense of gravity.
Ye Chen nodded with a faint smile. "I'm fine."
"And he is?" Wu Shang looked at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Despite his own formidable strength, he felt a subtle pressure.
Ye Chen said, "A Super Monarch guardian, my protector."
At this point, he still had no intention of admitting that the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was his Dao body. If that were known, even the alien supreme beings might spare no effort to eliminate him, making his situation even more perilous.
Calling him a guardian was more appropriate.
Wu Shang gave Ye Chen a surprised look, seemingly not expecting him to have such a powerful guardian.
The moment he saw the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, he knew that the seven monarchs who had gone to assassinate Ye Chen had most likely been suppressed and killed.
The monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp all changed color. They were already no match for the Flame Emperor Domain camp. Now, not only had their seven Ancient Monarchs likely been suppressed and killed, and their two Super Monarchs were no match for Wu Shang, but an existence suspected to be no weaker than Wu Shang—a peerless monarch—had also emerged. They felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Retreat!"
One of the Super Monarchs spoke with resignation, preparing to lead the multiple Ancient Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp away.
"Hmph!"
How could the Flame Emperor Domain camp willingly let these Sacred Emperor Domain monarchs leave after they had barged in so brazenly and even attempted to kill the Battle Saint King during his tribulation? It was like digging for trouble right under their noses.
Wu Shang snorted coldly. "You think you can come and go as you please? What a beautiful thought. Today, you will all stay here. Burying you here would not be an insult to your status."
Boom—
He took the initiative to attack. Two heavy hammers flew out like two terrifying, pitch-black ancient dragons, shattering the heavens and earth as they heavily slammed toward the Ancient Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp.
From the Flame Emperor Domain camp, over sixty Ancient Monarchs attacked simultaneously, unleashing unimaginable, boundless might that instantly blotted out the sky and submerged everything below.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The five Super Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp led their twenty monarchs in blocking the assault.
Under the terrifying collision, the monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp were covered in blood. Some were even blasted apart, each suffering injuries and casualties.
However, they managed to withstand this fearsome strike.
Yet, the price they paid was considerable.
"Go!"
The twenty-plus Sacred Emperor Domain monarchs immediately seized the chance to flee.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort echoed like heavenly thunder.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's eyes flashed with cold light as the Imperial Star appeared in his hand.
With a flash of radiance, the Imperial Star instantly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a vast, majestic star spanning hundreds of millions of li. Boundless storms of the Great Dao coiled around it, containing supreme Dao might capable of annihilating heaven and earth. It descended from the sky, crashing heavily upon the group of Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain camp.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, multiple Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain camp were sent flying. Several more were blasted apart under the impact of the vast, majestic star.
Infinite blood light surged into the sky, submerging the nine heavens and ten earths in a tragic, brilliant display.
The might of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was terrifying to such an extent!
Even the powerhouses of the Flame Emperor Domain camp felt their scalps go numb watching this.
Such combat power far surpassed anyone present in the Flame Emperor Domain camp.
Even Wu Shang was somewhat inferior.
Perhaps it was enough to rival Monarch Xu Xu!
A Monarch?
Countless people of the Flame Emperor Domain looked up at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, who stood high above like an ancient emperor, invincible and revered. Then, they turned their gaze to the calm Ye Chen beside him, all raising their heads in awe at this moment.
Wu Shang also narrowed his eyes slightly.
Within the territory of the Flame Emperor Domain camp, space was torn open as a tall figure emerged, brimming with an aura of world destruction. It was none other than the World-Destroying Elder.
He had come to provide support after receiving the information, but upon appearing, he witnessed the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body displaying his divine might. He couldn't help but shake his head.
Back then, he had personally witnessed the scene of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body knocking on the Immortal Heavenly Pass—a display of overwhelming dominance.
Now, he was even more formidable than before.
Of course, he was also one of the few individuals who knew that the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was Ye Chen's strongest Dao body.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked at the twenty-plus Ancient Monarchs, including five Super Monarchs, as if they were prey, his gaze filled with fervor.
After all, these Ancient Monarchs were the best nourishment for expanding his origin universe.
"This place shall become your burial ground."
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body stood high above, his voice ethereal. His body instantly expanded and grew, transforming into a majestic, peerlessly young emperor's silhouette. Holding the boundless Imperial Star, surrounded by three hundred and sixty storms of the Great Dao, he launched a vast, mighty strike downward.
This attack contained absolute power. Although not his full-force strike, it was undoubtedly comparable to a peak monarch's blow, capable of annihilating over half of the Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain camp.
"No!"
The numerous Ancient Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain camp, despite their grievous injuries, had no choice but to counterattack in the face of this terrifying, peerless strike from the Imperial Star.
Led by the five Super Monarchs, streams of absolutely powerful force erupted, converging into a vast, mighty torrent that collided head-on with the Imperial Star.
Boom—
More than half of the Sacred Prison Domain battlefield trembled violently. Terrifying waves of power rippled outward, their magnitude unimaginable.
One thing was certain: even the residual shockwaves alone were enough to easily tear apart and pulverize an Ancient Monarch.
