Clang!
Sparks erupted, each fleck capable of incinerating mountains and rivers for millions of li.
Ye Chen's figure shook violently. Not only was his forward momentum blocked, but he was also sent flying backward for over ten thousand li. Though his fist remained undamaged, he felt a sharp pain in his bones, as if they were about to crack.
One must understand that at this stage, Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body was incredibly durable and terrifying. He could not only clash bare-handed with Sovereign Immortal Weapons but even tear apart ordinary ones, far surpassing the average Ancient Monarch by an immeasurable margin.
Yet, he still could not break through the twelve-layered ancient pagoda and was instead repelled—a testament to its power.
This ancient pagoda Dao Weapon was exceptionally extraordinary, containing a might of unimaginable terror.
Di Yongheng naturally acted as well. As his Great Dao manifested, it was as if three thousand great worlds descended simultaneously, striking forth to collide with the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower. The thunderous booms were unceasing, unleashing boundless explosive power that spread across a vast expanse far exceeding hundreds of millions of li.
However, the Death Forbidden Zone was special, suppressing all destructive power and preventing it from spreading to the outside world.
The Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower was halted. The figures of the two Eternal Quasi-Monarchs retreated tens of thousands of li, unharmed.
Even so, from the earlier collision, one could sense that the Lord of the Death Forbidden Zone was undoubtedly a peerless supreme powerhouse. Even among the ranks of Ancient Monarchs, he could absolutely be considered a top-tier super existence.
"Hmm? You can actually block my Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower? You two little fellows have some skill."
A voice tinged with surprise echoed from within the Death Forbidden Zone.
Deep within the Wei Yang Great World, Tonggu Monarch, who resembled an old beggar, took a large swig from his gourd of wine. With bleary, drunken eyes, he glanced toward the direction of the Death Forbidden Zone and shook his head with a smile. "I didn't expect these two outsiders to have such capability, actually withstanding the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower. You must know, in the previous Era Epoch, that was a famously invincible weapon of slaughter. The number of Ancient Monarchs who fell beneath that tower was no fewer than the fingers on both hands."
The voice of the Lord of the Death Forbidden Zone was not concealed, shaking the outside world like rolling heavenly thunder.
Outside the Death Forbidden Zone, Han Zhen's expression abruptly changed. "The Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower? Could it be that the Lord of the Death Forbidden Zone is that peerless slaughterer from the previous Era Epoch?"
The Seven Ancient Monarchs under Di Yongheng's command also had subtle changes in their expressions, clearly having heard of the name of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower as well.
"What do you mean?" Ye Chen inquired. This Lord of the Death Forbidden Zone seemed to have a significant background.
"Battle Saint King, you must be careful. The Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower has a great origin. It was the peerless slaughter weapon wielded by a monarch of immense and fearsome reputation in the previous Era Epoch. It once displayed tremendous notoriety on the Primordial Path of Origins. In a Supreme-level Domain War, that Great Ferocious Monarch consecutively suppressed and slaughtered twelve Ancient Monarchs!"
Han Zhen spoke, his tone grave, revealing the true origins of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower.
In the previous Era Epoch, there was a Great Ferocious Monarch on the Primordial Path of Origins, notorious for his cruelty and slaughter.
During the Supreme-level Domain War he participated in, he was exceptionally vicious, killing twelve Ancient Monarchs in a row, causing a great upheaval on the Primordial Path of Origins at that time.
Even the Supreme One from the opposing side was enraged, nearly intervening in the domain battlefield to kill this Great Ferocious Monarch.
It was only after the Supreme One backing this Great Ferocious Monarch stepped in that he managed to avert a fatal calamity.
Precisely because of this, the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower carried a dreadful, fearsome reputation.
More importantly, that Great Ferocious Monarch had acted with deliberate intent, purposely slaying the twelve Ancient Monarchs. His goal was to use their blood, souls, and even their origin worlds to refine the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower, pushing this slaughter weapon to its ultimate extreme and transforming it into a peerless weapon of slaughter.
Ye Chen's expression turned slightly solemn. He hadn't expected the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower to possess such a formidable and fearsome reputation, especially that Great Ferocious Monarch, who was undoubtedly a terrifyingly powerful figure. If he truly became an enemy, it would be an absolute nightmare.
Di Yongheng had clearly learned the truth from his subordinates, but his expression remained unchanged. He chuckled lightly. "Great Ferocious Monarch? Slaughtered twelve Ancient Monarchs in a row? Is that all the ability he has?"
His Seven Ancient Monarchs remained silent. Aside from these closest followers, no one knew just how terrifying Di Yongheng's true origins were.
Even that Great Ferocious Monarch was far from comparable.
Di Yongheng looked at Ye Chen. "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Ye Chen also smiled, speaking softly. "He alone isn't enough to make me fear."
"Hahaha, truly worthy of being the other Eternal Quasi-Monarch who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me!" Di Yongheng laughed as well, taking the initiative and charging directly toward the Primordial Divine Hall. "Good! Let's see which of us is stronger, who can seize the Primordial Divine Hall first!"
Simultaneously, Ye Chen also shot forward, naturally not willing to fall behind.
The two Eternal Quasi-Monarchs charged forth, transforming into two streaks of eternal immortal light as they struck forward.
"Are you two little fellows truly unafraid of death?"
The Lord of the Death Forbidden Zone was also slightly taken aback, then his words filled with a bone-chilling coldness. His divine sense urged the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower to attack. With a series of thunderous booms—Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!—each layer of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower ignited, each unleashing a terrifying imposing might.
Faintly visible, the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower resembled twelve superimposed great worlds, floating and sinking within, possessing an incomparably terrifying imposing might. It descended with a rumble, releasing twelve great worlds to crush the two.
An ordinary Ancient Monarch facing such might from the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower would inevitably be blasted to smithereens.
But unfortunately, neither Ye Chen nor Di Yongheng were ordinary individuals. Even many Ancient Monarchs were far inferior to them. At this moment, they sneered, unleashing the limit of their power as Eternal Quasi-Monarchs. One churned with boundless chaos, the other with three thousand Great Daos boiling. They actively met the attack head-on.
Honglonglong—
Projections of Sovereign great worlds were successively repelled, even pierced through, utterly incapable of effectively hindering the advance and retreat of the two figures.
"You do have some skill. But don't think this is the strongest attack of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower."
"Very well, let me show you the true power of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower."
The Lord of the Death Forbidden Zone's words seemed filled with praise, but the bone-chilling coldness within grew even more intense.
Honglonglong—
Faintly, within each layer of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower, a figure could be seen seated—all supreme existences at the Ancient Monarch level, motionless.
At this moment, all twelve Sovereign-level figures awakened, opening their eyes like blazing divine lamps. Sovereign heavenly might, vast and peerless, resonated with their respective worlds, causing the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower to tremble.
Instantly, an even more terrifying imposing might erupted from the Twelve Heavenly Palace Tower.
Hong—
Not only within the Death Forbidden Zone, but even Tianyang Continent, and indeed the entire Wei Yang Great World, suffered a massive impact.
It was as if doomsday had arrived, akin to world annihilation. A terrorizing might pressed down upon the mortal realm, causing billions upon billions of living beings to tremble in fear.
Outside the Death Forbidden Zone, whether it was Han Zhen or Di Yongheng's Seven Sovereigns, their expressions changed drastically. They charged forward without hesitation to support the two.
