Within the Holy Emperor Domain Faction, several of the most powerful Super Monarchs appeared, descending upon this place.
As Super Monarchs above the Seventh Heaven, they were absolutely powerful and brimming with majesty.
However, facing this mysterious and supremely powerful young man, the majestic faces of the Holy Emperor Domain Faction's Super Monarchs also bore thick wariness.
These few individuals seemed to number only a handful, but each one was absolutely formidable. Four Super Monarchs alone posed a threat to the current Holy Emperor Domain Faction.
Not to mention the addition of that withered elder on his last legs, who was definitely a terrifying existence far surpassing them.
Peak Monarch?
Or an Emperor?
Yet regardless of which answer it was, either would be enough for one person to deal with all the Super Monarchs currently present in their Holy Emperor Domain Faction.
Not to mention there were still four Super Monarchs.
It could be said that just these few individuals before them were enough to pose an absolute threat to the Holy Emperor Domain Faction, whose Emperors had departed.
Of course, they were not afraid. Although the Supreme One behind them could not descend, they could still send word to the four Emperors.
One of the Holy Emperor Domain Faction's Super Monarchs cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Esteemed guests, although you all are strong, our Holy Emperor Domain Faction is not to be bullied either. Killing a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch of our faction right off the bat—isn't that going a bit too far?"
His words carried a hint of threat.
The withered elder, looking as if on his last legs, swept his turbid old eyes over the other party and said indifferently, "It's just killing one Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch and injuring a Second Heaven Monarch, isn't it? Don't forget, my Lord harbors no ill intent. It was you who struck first."
That Super Monarch's voice remained icy cold: "This is the headquarters of our Holy Emperor Domain Faction. They were merely performing their duties, not allowing outsiders to enter, hence they acted. Moreover, this young friend didn't need to be so ruthless."
The withered elder said coldly, "Offending my Lord, having only one Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch die is already the best outcome. If not for my Lord's mercy, that Second Heaven Monarch would have been killed long ago."
Hearing this, the gazes of the Holy Emperor Domain Faction's several Super Monarchs also turned sharp: "So according to you, his survival should be thanks to your Lord?"
"Naturally!" the withered elder said. "Who is my Lord, that they could dare to act against him? Not to mention you, even the Supreme One behind you, if they knew, would not make a move."
Hearing the implied meaning within these words, the expressions of the several Super Monarchs changed slightly.
Just who was this mysterious young man? Not only did he have such a terrifying lineup protecting him, but even a Supreme One seemed unwilling to easily offend him.
"May we ask who this esteemed one is?"
Although they knew the mysterious young man's origins were likely not simple, they still very much wanted to ask.
The withered elder, wearing an expression full of pride and self-satisfaction, said, "The number one on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, Di Yongheng!"
"Di Yongheng!?"
The experts of the Holy Emperor Domain Faction were immediately greatly shocked. Di Yongheng, the former number one on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, who had become second only after the Battle Saint King's meteoric rise.
But no one questioned Di Yongheng's strength. For many years, he had been an existence capable of battling Ancient Monarchs against the heavens, suspected to be an Eternal Quasi-Monarch. Even today, he remained a famously powerful figure of his generation.
It was just that Di Yongheng had not made a move for too long, so even as an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, whether he was stronger or weaker than the Battle Saint King remained quite puzzling.
But they never imagined that Di Yongheng's background was also so extraordinary, with such a fearsome lineup protecting him from behind.
Even the Battle Saint King, also an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, did not have such a terrifying contingent following and protecting him.
"No, the ranking has changed now. The number one on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking is the Battle Saint King." Although they wished they could kill the Battle Saint King, the Holy Emperor Domain Faction had to admit his heaven-defying fearsomeness.
At this moment, the withered elder sneered: "That's only because my Lord hasn't made a move. Otherwise, how would that Battle Saint King have the qualifications to become number one on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking?"
He showed considerable disdain towards Ye Chen.
Was Di Yongheng even stronger than the Battle Saint King?
The several Super Monarchs, secretly drawing in cold breaths, immediately wore solemn expressions and cupped their fists towards him: "Esteemed guests, may we ask the purpose of your grand visit to our Holy Emperor Domain Faction?"
The withered elder, looking as if on his last legs, swept his turbid old eyes over the other party and said indifferently, "The purpose of coming this time is because my Lord heard that the current number one on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, the Battle Saint King, has come to the Sacred Prison Domain battlefield. Thus, he came specifically for the Battle Saint King, to fight him, defeat him, and reclaim the number one spot on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking."
The several Ancient Monarchs of the Holy Emperor Domain Faction immediately understood. One of them shook his head: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The Battle Saint King is not part of our Holy Emperor Domain Faction. On the contrary, he belongs to our enemy faction, the Flame Emperor Domain Faction. Moreover, he has currently entered the Four Imperial Relic Lands in the central area of the Sacred Prison Domain battlefield, contesting for the legendary Peerless Supreme Treasure!"
He briefly explained the situation.
"Peerless Supreme Treasure!" The withered elder and the four Super Monarchs all had their eyes light up.
How could the Peerless Supreme Treasure that caused the four Supreme Ones of that year to all perish be ordinary? Even the strongest Emperor would be moved.
They looked at Di Yongheng. Sure enough, Di Yongheng's eyes, concealed beneath dazzling Great Dao runes, also lit up, showing interest.
Di Yongheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance towards the Four Imperial Relic Lands: "Since the Battle Saint King is there, and there is also the legendary Peerless Supreme Treasure, this Sovereign is also quite interested and can contest for it a bit."
"We obey our Lord's command!"
The withered elder and the four Super Monarchs respectfully responded.
"Let's go."
Di Yongheng gave the order. The four Super Monarchs beside him immediately split off beams of radiant light, carrying him and the withered elder away at an astonishing speed, vanishing in an instant.
Watching the direction of their departure, an Ancient Monarch couldn't help but ask a Super Monarch in confusion: "Sir, informing Di Yongheng to go to the Four Imperial Relic Lands like this—will it affect the contest for the Peerless Supreme Treasure?"
After all, the lineup following Di Yongheng was astonishing. Four Super Monarchs were one thing, but there was also a Peak Monarch, or even a suspected Emperor-level existence. This would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of contesting for the Peerless Supreme Treasure by several degrees.
The Super Monarch curled the corner of his mouth into a smile: "Affect it? Compared to affecting the contest, Di Yongheng's appearance will cause a much greater impact on the Flame Emperor Domain Faction, which is actually more beneficial for our Holy Emperor Domain Faction. Moreover, even if the Battle Saint King has a Monarch protecting him, this time he might not be able to escape."
"The number one and two on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, both Eternal Quasi-Monarchs. This Monarch is quite interested in seeing the peak battle between two Eternal Quasi-Monarchs."
