Saint Ancient Emperor's expression shifted slightly, not expecting the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to be so forceful.
Although he was the son of the Supreme Emperor Saint and a Monarch himself, he could not gain the slightest advantage against his opponent. Such a great battle could very likely affect the Weiyang Great World, which would instead be disadvantageous.
Moreover, he was not far away, being in the vicinity anyway. If anything happened, he could rush over immediately.
Thoughts swirling a thousand times, Saint Ancient Emperor snorted coldly and ultimately allowed the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to pass.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also snorted coldly.
Thus, the two Monarch existences, each harboring various thoughts, passed by each other.
Whether it was the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body or Saint Ancient Emperor, both were near the Weiyang Great World. Neither entered, and both were wary of causing collateral damage, reaching a certain tacit understanding.
Especially since the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body knew the Weiyang Great World very likely contained a Supreme Inheritance. If Saint Ancient Emperor did not interfere, his true self's capabilities gave him a great chance of obtaining it.
Therefore, he was quite pleased to see Saint Ancient Emperor not descending into the Weiyang Great World.
Saint Ancient Emperor did not know for sure if the Weiyang Great World truly possessed a Supreme Inheritance. However, his younger brother had sent a message stating that the Weiyang Great World was no smaller than a Supreme Great World and might contain a Supreme Inheritance, so he was also quite attentive to it.
Moreover, he had considerable confidence in his younger brother, Sheng Xu. After all, they were both sons of the Supreme Emperor, both at the Ancient Monarch level. Furthermore, not many Ancient Monarchs from the two major factions had descended into the Weiyang Great World, making the possibility of dominating the great world quite high.
He simply did not know that Ye Chen was in the Weiyang Great World. Otherwise, he might have descended into it at all costs.
During the standoff between the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Saint Ancient Emperor in the endless spatial turbulence, a great world among the three thousand suddenly exploded. An Ancient Monarch-level battle erupted, affecting dozens to hundreds of surrounding great worlds, causing significant repercussions.
At this moment, Wu Shang soared into the sky, his hair bristling with rage. Wielding his war hammer, he annihilated the vast expanse of the Great Dao, directly slaying an Ancient Monarch from the Holy Emperor Domain faction. He even pursued a seventh-layer super monarch, appearing like a War God, ferocious and formidable.
From the Holy Emperor Domain faction, two super monarchs swiftly rose, joining the pursued super monarch from their faction. The three super monarchs together confronted Wu Shang.
This, however, was merely the norm.
Boom—
At the edge of the three thousand great worlds, in the extreme distance, terrifying fluctuations erupted, far surpassing those of the past.
That was a Monarch-level battle, nearly comparable to a Supreme One's war. Time and space were thrown into chaos, heaven collapsed and earth split, and countless illusory great worlds shattered.
In that extremely vast territory, illusory great worlds shattered and annihilated one after another. Only the Monarchs remained eternal, standing at the highest point, unleashing power surpassing that of Ancient Monarchs, leaving all living beings far behind.
Even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Saint Ancient Emperor turned their attention there.
It was Taichu Emperor from the Flame Emperor Domain faction confronting Ancestral Mountain Emperor from the Holy Emperor Domain faction.
Every move and gesture carried the destructive power to shatter great worlds, vast and mighty, affecting the infinite expanse of space. The terror was beyond measure.
Visible to the naked eye, illusory great worlds, indistinguishable from real ones in stability and permanence here, could not withstand the might of the two Monarchs.
"Supreme Inheritance!"
The two Monarch-level existences, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Saint Ancient Emperor, gazed into the distance. Between the two battling Monarchs, they saw a treasure object wreathed in emperor light, its Supreme aura eternal and imperishable.
Clearly, this was a Supreme Inheritance.
But neither made a move, both harboring reservations.
Boom—
Finally, after an extremely fierce battle, the Monarch-level conflict concluded.
Taichu Emperor emerged victorious. Wreathed in Primordial Light, like the master who created the great universe at the dawn of time, he struck down with a palm imbued with Primordial aura. Even though Ancestral Mountain Emperor was a Monarch, he was no match. His flesh was torn apart, and his Monarch soul severely wounded.
That Supreme Inheritance fell into Taichu Emperor's hands.
"Damn it!"
Ancestral Mountain Emperor reconstituted his flesh and soul. His injuries were not severe; both were Monarchs, and neither was significantly stronger than the other.
Both were peerless heroes in this realm.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Inheritance ultimately fell into Taichu Emperor's hands. He knew it would be difficult for him alone to snatch it from his opponent.
His opponent was not only a Monarch, stronger than him, but also the son of the Supreme Emperor Tai Sheng Huang. Even a Supreme One would likely find it hard to deal with him.
Taichu Emperor, holding the Supreme Inheritance object, glanced at Ancestral Mountain Emperor. "I accept your concession."
He turned and left.
Ancestral Mountain Emperor could only watch helplessly.
Among the four Supreme Inheritance objects, the first had fallen into the hands of Taichu Emperor from the Flame Emperor Domain faction, increasing the urgency felt by the experts of the Holy Emperor Domain faction.
They simply did not know that the true first one had already fallen into Ye Chen's hands.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body remained stationed in the endless spatial turbulence, perceiving the outside world. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's true self, within the Doumen World, had long since extended his powerful divine soul power beyond the Doumen World.
He could sense that more and more fluctuations were emerging within the Weiyang Great World. Everything seemed quite concealed, difficult for ordinary people to detect. Only someone as powerful as Ye Chen could keenly perceive it all.
As time passed, experts from the two major factions continuously descended into the Weiyang Great World.
Among them were not a few Ancient Monarchs.
Had they received news?
Ye Chen's eyes opened and closed, deep as a sea of stars. But he paid no heed, still multitasking—refining the Dao Star while devouring and refining the Monarch's origin world, steadily and powerfully enhancing his own strength.
...
Sacred Prison Domain battlefield, Holy Emperor Domain faction territory.
After three years, the nine immortal halls had been repaired, standing tall in the starry sky, emanating the aura of Supreme imperishability, eternal and enduring.
However, clearly, after the forceful intrusion and slaughter by the Flame Emperor Domain faction years ago, which shattered all the immortal halls and even the emperor statues, to avoid repeating the same mistake, the defenses of the Holy Emperor Domain faction's main camp had become much stricter.
That majestic city gate had naturally been fully repaired, further reinforced with Monarch power.
Moreover, around the main camp, quasi-monarchs led numerous experts on regular patrols.
Furthermore, the monarch divine sense of Ancient Monarchs constantly enveloped the area at all times. One could say not even a fly could hope to sneak in.
This time, even a Monarch would need to expend some effort to enter.
Boom—
On this day, just as a group of experts from the Holy Emperor Domain main camp opened the city gate, preparing to enter the Sacred Prison Domain battlefield to engage the experts of the Flame Emperor Domain faction, a deafening explosion shook heaven and earth.
A streak of light shot through the sky, impossibly fast, charging through the city gate before it could fully close.
"Not good! Enemy intrusion!"
Alarm bells rang within the city gate. The quasi-monarchs originally guarding the gate awakened one after another, releasing absolutely powerful auras.
