The Xiuluo Monarch gazed at Ye Chen and suddenly let out a sigh, his eyes turning complex. He said softly, "Young friend, I sense a familiar fluctuation from you. You must have cultivated the inheritance of the Battle Saint lineage, correct?"
Ye Chen's heart trembled, and he immediately nodded. "This junior is Ye Chen, the contemporary successor of the Battle Saint lineage."
"As expected," the Xiuluo Monarch sighed lightly.
Beside him, the Tonggu Monarch also sighed. "You're thinking of those old times again."
"Indeed, how could I forget? Those were unforgettable years. Even a peerless genius like me, invincible in my generation, was ultimately suppressed helplessly by that fellow from the Battle Saint lineage back then," the Xiuluo Monarch's words carried both nostalgia and reminiscence, as if recalling past events.
In his youth, he was a fierce figure, the strongest supreme talent among his generation, sweeping through his peers without equal. He even fought until no one in the entire Chaos Ancient Universe of that era could contend with him among the younger generation.
Finally, he entered the ancient path, where he encountered an even more monstrous, more perverse peerless fierce man—also a cultivator of the Battle Saint lineage—and was unfortunately suppressed!
"Hahaha, you were indeed invincible among your peers in one Chaos Ancient Universe back then, even defeating Imperial Sons and Daughters. You considered yourself truly invincible across the entire Chaos Sea. But didn't you also encounter several great enemies on the Ultimate Ancient Path back then, even meeting that fellow Wuxiang? You fought a great battle and were ultimately defeated, remaining despondent for a long time," the Tonggu Monarch laughed heartily, though by the end, he too sighed with nostalgia. "What a pity. From searching through Yun Tianjun's divine sense, we learned some truths. That fellow Wuxiang, because he was too heaven-defying, was targeted by the Alien Race in the previous epoch era. They mobilized two Monarchs, seven peerless Sovereigns, and even the most terrifying Emperor-level killing array, finally leaving Wuxiang severely wounded and on the brink of death."
"In the end, even the Alien Race's Supreme One was alarmed and intervened at all costs, truly killing Wuxiang."
"It's just a shame. The most dazzling figure of that time, Wuxiang, who suppressed you, Cang Xiong, and several other overlords until none dared claim supremacy, ultimately fell."
Recalling the events of those years, both Monarchs sighed with nostalgia.
Ye Chen listened, his heart trembling.
From their words, the Xiuluo Monarch and Tonggu Monarch before him were actually rivals the Sovereign of Formlessness had encountered on the Ultimate Ancient Path in his youth.
More importantly, he recalled hearing the Wushi Monarch mention some matters about the Sovereign of Formlessness traversing the Ultimate Ancient Path during the Mythical Epoch. Although he fought his way through the ancient path unbeaten back then, he had encountered several exceptionally terrifying great enemies who could battle him.
One of them was the Xiuluo Sovereign, who had fought a great battle with the Sovereign of Formlessness back then, shattering a section of the ancient path in their clash—truly terrifying.
Ye Chen had been deeply impressed by this back then. After all, the Sovereign of Formlessness was hailed as the number one figure below the Supreme One in the Mythical Epoch, a peerless existence who could even battle Supreme Ones. Yet someone could fight him during his youth—one could imagine how terrifying that was.
He never expected to now encounter a great enemy from the Sovereign of Formlessness's youth, who had also now become a Monarch.
He also remembered that ancient guardian named Cang Xiong on the Ultimate Ancient Path, who seemed to be another of the Sovereign of Formlessness's great enemies from back then. He had even promised Ye Chen that if Ye Chen called his name three times on the Ultimate Ancient Path, he would appear to protect him once.
But Ye Chen had bulldozed his way through, even charging into the Supreme Ancient Path, sweeping through the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains, invincible in the Supreme Ancient Domain, fighting until no one on either ancient path dared claim supremacy, ultimately never using that opportunity.
At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, clasping his fists toward the two Monarchs. "To be honest with you two senior Monarchs, Patriarch Wuxiang is actually still alive."
"Still alive?"
The two Monarchs' expressions changed, then surprise surfaced on their faces, their emotions shifting. "Are you speaking the truth? Wuxiang is still alive?"
"Yes, this matter is indeed true."
Ye Chen informed the two Monarchs of the entire sequence of events and causes.
After a long while, the two Monarchs felt both joy and complexity.
Their joy came from Wuxiang being alive, moreover broken and reborn, advancing further. At the Monarch realm, he possessed peerless might rivaling a Supreme One, already hailed by the world as the Supreme One of Formlessness.
Their complexity stemmed from the same fact.
Back on the Ultimate Ancient Path, they had been overshadowed by the Sovereign of Formlessness. Even later, when the Sovereign of Formlessness became so heaven-defying he dared battle Supreme Ones, hailed as the number one below the Supreme Ones in the Chaos Sea, universally acknowledged, considered to possess the terrifying potential to become the strongest Emperor.
Under the Battle Saint Ancestor's intervention, revived with a complete Emperor Dao essence,also aMonarch, he was even stronger than them. In the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains, he successively slew three Monarchs—how terrifying, how peerless.
They sighed lightly, fearing they would never have a chance to surpass the Sovereign of Formlessness in this lifetime.
However, toward the Sovereign of Formlessness, they also felt a genuine admiration from the depths of their hearts. Returning from death, broken and reborn, reaching this step was only natural.
"Hahahaha, very well. Although I was a talent on the Ultimate Ancient Path like you all back then, I was far inferior, even unqualified to participate in those battles for supremacy. I only managed to rise later through great difficulty, becoming a Monarch now. If there's a chance, I'd also like to see if Wuxiang has truly reached that step," the Tonggu Monarch laughed heartily. He was the typical late bloomer. In his youth, he was inferior to Wuxiang, Xiuluo, and Cang Xiong. But due to great perseverance and will, he forcefully rose later, surpassing many of his peers from that era, ultimately becoming an Ancient Sovereign, even following the Nine Yin Supreme One in campaigns. Now he had even become a Monarch.
Speaking of achievements, they were astonishing.
Because of the Sovereign of Formlessness, the two Monarchs viewed Ye Chen even more favorably, promising they would definitely follow Ye Chen to the Sealed Boundary Universe to visit the Sovereign of Formlessness when the opportunity arose.
This delighted Ye Chen immensely. He never expected everything to be achieved without the slightest effort.
He didn't immediately lead the two Monarchs away from the Wei Yang Great World. Before leaving, he planned to let the two Monarchs handle some matters at hand.
At the same time, he put away the Primordial Emperor Hall and led the many powerhouses back to the Chaos Heavenly Mansion.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen took action. Utilizing his control over the Wei Yang Great World, he located all the Saint Emperor Domain faction's powerhouses, including the later-fleeing Sovereign Yin Gu and his subordinates—thirty-four in total. He thunderously struck, exterminating them all.
Thus, the Wei Yang Great World completely became Ye Chen's domain.
Two days later, Ye Chen put away the Chaos Heavenly Mansion and had all enslaved powerhouses return to their origin universes. Everything was prepared.
In the Death Forbidden Zone, the two Monarchs—Xiuluo Monarch and Tonggu Monarch—appeared, nodding distantly toward Ye Chen, indicating they had handled all matters and could leave.
