Even as a Monarch, Zushan Dijun harbored immense fear and even a trace of terror towards the unruly and mightiest Emperor, the Flame Emperor.
Just as Wu Shang had said, if Zushan Dijun were to kill Wu Shang, given the Flame Emperor's domineering and unrestrained nature, he truly might disregard the rules of the Domain Battlefield and take action.
Wu Shang looked at Zushan Dijun with a hint of pity. "As a Monarch, on the verge of becoming a Supreme One, you are truly pitiful. After all, my strength is inferior to yours, but these days it's not just about strength, but also background. I have a background you cannot afford to provoke."
Upon hearing this, Zushan Dijun was so enraged he nearly spat blood.
As a dignified Monarch, he dared not deal with Wu Shang, who wasn't even a peak Sovereign. It was truly a helpless matter.
But the Flame Emperor loomed like an ancient chaotic universe, making even a powerful Monarch like him tremble with fear.
"Let's go! Charge towards the Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp and sweep it clean!"
At Wu Shang's call, the nearly sixty Ancient Monarchs of the Flame Emperor Domain's forces bypassed Zushan Dijun in a grand procession, charging towards the Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp.
"Ah—"
Zushan Dijun roared in fury, a rage rarely seen in his lifetime.
Yet he was helpless. With Wu Shang's threat and Xuanxu Dijun blocking him, he could only watch as the numerous Ancient Monarchs of the Flame Emperor Domain's forces charged past.
Xuanxu Dijun laughed heartily, feeling immensely pleased.
"Zushan, weren't you planning to enter my Flame Emperor Domain's main camp to assassinate the Battle Saint King? Now you see, don't you? The Battle Saint King is safe and sound. Moreover, he has taken his guardian and is doing the opposite, charging towards your Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp."
"Now, you are reaping what you sowed, hahaha—"
Zushan Dijun's furious expression suddenly calmed. He looked coldly at Xuanxu Dijun and said, "Xuanxu, don't get too complacent. My Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp is not a place that can be easily barged into."
"Is that so? I am quite looking forward to it," Xuanxu Dijun smiled slightly, though inwardly he felt a trace of gravity. Suspecting the Sacred Emperor Domain's camp might have traps, he sent a message to Wu Shang and the others, hoping they would be careful and not be too reckless.
Along the way, the various Sovereigns of the Flame Emperor Domain's forces clearly saw vast stretches of land collapsed along the path.
Evidently, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body had pushed through with absolute dominance, directly charging into the deepest parts of the Sacred Emperor Domain's camp.
In the distance, they could also see the Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp, with nine immortal halls suspended in the air and a towering city gate blocking the way.
To charge in, they would have to break through the city gate's defense.
At this moment, they didn't see the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body move, which puzzled them.
Because they knew that if the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body attacked, such a city gate could block a fifth-level Sovereign, but it definitely could not block a Great Emperor Reincarnation Body comparable to a Monarch.
The next moment, they were shocked to see Ye Chen holding four Sovereign Heavenly Souls in his hand. They were precisely the Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain, the four Ancient Monarchs who had pursued Ye Chen.
Ye Chen sneered at the Sacred Emperor Domain's experts. "It is impolite not to reciprocate. Since your Sacred Emperor Domain went to such lengths to travel to the Flame Emperor Domain just to kill me, I naturally must return the favor with a generous gift."
Chaos Source Fire fell upon the four Sovereign Heavenly Souls, igniting them completely. Ignoring the agonized screams of the four, he hurled them at the Sacred Emperor Domain's city gate.
Boom—
Instantly, a destructive power capable of annihilating a great world exploded, striking the Sacred Emperor Domain's city gate.
Heaven and earth were destroyed!
The Sacred Emperor Domain's city gate was forcefully blasted open.
Experts from both sides felt their scalps go numb.
It was because of Ye Chen's terrifying power. He had actually suppressed four Ancient Monarchs from the Sacred Emperor Domain, ignited their Sovereign Heavenly Souls, and unleashed unparalleled might to breach the gate and strike the city wall.
With a wave of his hand, he gathered and suppressed the reassembled Heavenly Souls of the four Ancient Monarchs.
Ye Chen and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body charged in first.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
From the nine immortal halls of the Sacred Emperor Domain's camp, numerous Ancient Monarchs surged out. There were over thirty of them, comparable in number to the Flame Emperor Domain's Ancient Monarchs, perhaps even a few more, but the difference wasn't significant.
They had all been alerted. One by one, they manifested vast and awe-inspiring Sovereign Dharma Forms, towering between heaven and earth, with myriad stars revolving around them, a terrifying sight.
At this moment, looking down at Ye Chen and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body who had broken through the city gate and entered, their expressions turned ugly, tinged with gravity. "Good, good, you all truly have immense courage, daring to charge alone into my Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp."
"Especially you, Battle Saint King. Instead of hiding properly in your Flame Emperor Domain's main camp, you come to my Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp, seeking death on your own initiative. You are the first to do so."
When looking at Ye Chen, the numerous Ancient Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain's camp all revealed fervent expressions.
Regarding the bounty on the Battle Saint King's life, to successfully kill him, the various Supreme Ones of the alien races had offered a reward so high it could be described as sky-breaking.
The reward was so immense that not only would Ancient Monarchs be tempted, even Monarchs would be moved.
It was said to include a supreme treasure that could increase one's chances of successfully attaining the Supreme One realm. Once obtained, it would grant at least a forty percent chance of stepping into the Supreme One realm.
It must be known that even after becoming a Monarch, the success rate was only twenty percent.
Such a treasure would truly make even Monarchs extremely tempted.
Not to mention the numerous Ancient Monarchs present, each of whom was deeply moved.
The fervor in their gazes towards Ye Chen was like that of a robust young man seeing a completely naked beauty.
"Hahaha, the Battle Saint King actually came to my Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp on his own. This is simply heaven helping me!"
"This is purely prey delivered to our doorstep. If this Battle Saint King hid in the Flame Emperor Domain's main camp, even if we had the thought, there would be nothing we could do. But now that he has actively appeared in our main camp, don't blame us for taking action."
"The Battle Saint King is a walking treasure trove. Obtaining him is indirectly possessing a broad road leading to the Supreme One realm."
"No one is allowed to snatch him from me. The Battle Saint King is my prey!"
"He is my prey!"
...
The numerous Ancient Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain's camp communicated via divine sense, filled with eagerness.
At the same time, the many Quasi-Monarchs of the Sacred Emperor Domain's camp, when looking at Ye Chen, were filled with admiration, but also with regret. Many even felt schadenfreude.
Even if this Battle Saint King was an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, even if he could defy the heavens and kill Ancient Monarchs, today he dared to charge alone into the Sacred Emperor Domain's main camp. He was purely here to deliver himself to death, utterly foolish.
It was just a pity. Even as enemies, they couldn't help but marvel at the Battle Saint King's heaven-defying monstrous talent.
Because it was precisely the emergence of the Battle Saint King and Di Yongheng that opened a brand new door for Quasi-Monarchs like them. They learned that above the heaven-defying Quasi-Monarchs, there existed the Eternal Quasi-Monarchs, who could defy the heavens and slay immortals, defeating or even killing Ancient Monarchs while still at the Quasi-Monarch level, displaying an invincible posture.
