"Everyone, we must attack together in a moment, ensuring we advance and retreat as one, and strike simultaneously. We cannot give the Taichu Emperor any opening. In single combat, none of us can be his match head-on; we would be defeated within ten exchanges, perhaps even grievously wounded. But if we attack together, no matter how strong he is, he cannot possibly be a match for us."
Hunyue Emperor spoke, having reformed his heart. Although his vital essence was greatly depleted, he remained immensely powerful. As a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain, not all his vital essence was concentrated in his heart; it was distributed throughout his divine body. Moreover, with the aid of a supreme divine medicine, his essence, energy, and spirit had briefly returned to their peak state, leaving him fearless.
Though he had to admit the Taichu Emperor was truly formidable, even the Sovereign of Formlessness from back then had been overwhelmed and killed by two alien Emperors and seven peerless Sovereigns. How could the Taichu Emperor possibly be a match for ten Emperors? His death was certain.
"Agreed!"
The other nine Emperors naturally understood this principle and were also adjusting their own auras, elevating them to the utmost limit, maintaining a peak combat state.
The Taichu Emperor had clearly perceived the mindset of the ten Emperors. He merely let out a cold laugh and said, "The Sovereign of Formlessness from back then was killed by a mere two alien Emperors and seven peerless Sovereigns? Do you truly believe that was the truth of what happened?"
"What do you mean?" The ten Emperors' expressions shifted slightly, sensing that the truth behind the Sovereign of Formlessness's fall was not so simple.
The Taichu Emperor smiled, a look of pride on his face. "You have all been deceived by the alien race for far too long. During the great battle of the Mythical Cataclysm, Wuxiang was the first to bear the brunt. He alone clashed with an alien Supreme Ruler, which is why he was gravely injured."
"You must understand how valiant Wuxiang was back then. Though he himself was severely wounded, he made that alien Supreme Ruler pay a bloody price, causing him to bleed. It was only after this that his strength was somewhat weakened in the great battle, and he was forced into the Ancient Emperor Slaughter Array."
"If not for that alien Supreme Ruler back then, and that Ancient Emperor Slaughter Array, do you truly believe a mere two Emperors and seven peerless Sovereigns could have brought Wuxiang to the brink of death?"
"Laughable. Truly laughable."
His words revealed the truth of that era, sending shockwaves throughout the entire Origin Ancient Path. The fall of the Sovereign of Formlessness back then actually held such a truth.
Recalling the Sovereign of Formlessness of old, who not only fought an alien Supreme Ruler single-handedly but even caused that Supreme Ruler's blood to stain heaven and earth, exacting a considerable price, before finally being forced into the Ancient Emperor Slaughter Array. Only then did two alien Emperors and seven peerless Sovereigns take control, paying with their lives to bring Wuxiang to the brink of death.
However, the one who truly killed the Sovereign of Formlessness was an alien Supreme Ruler personally making a move, launching a sneak attack when Wuxiang was grievously wounded and on the verge of death, ultimately succeeding.
Otherwise, given the might of the Sovereign of Formlessness back then, it would have been truly difficult to kill him with just two Emperors, seven peerless Sovereigns, and an Ancient Emperor Slaughter Array.
The ten Emperors were shaken to their cores. The Sovereign of Formlessness from back then was actually that terrifying.
Then, thinking of the Taichu Emperor before them, who had reached the same level as the Sovereign of Formlessness back then, they all felt their scalps tingle.
For they realized they were about to face a terrifying figure akin to the Sovereign of Formlessness of old. Just the thought was enough to make their scalps tingle.
On the Origin Ancient Path, after learning the truth, the various Supreme Rulers were all stirred. In an instant, their gazes, shining brilliantly, turned toward the Taichu Emperor.
Even with the eternally placid mindsets of the Supreme Rulers of the myriad heavens, they could not help but tremble at this moment. The implications of this matter were far too immense, even greater than the Taichu Emperor successfully proving his Dao to become a Supreme One, to the point where the Supreme Rulers of the myriad heavens could not remain calm.
Especially the Supreme Rulers from the alien race's side, whose killing intent surged to the heavens, unconcealed, clearly felt by the billions upon billions of living beings across half of the Origin Ancient Path.
Boom—
The wrath of a Supreme Ruler manifested infinite phenomena, flooding the boundless heavens and earth, unimaginable.
"I never imagined that the Taichu Emperor's failure to prove his Dao and become a Supreme One would instead turn misfortune into blessing, allowing him to advance a step further, taking that crucial step within the Monarch level to become a figure comparable to the Sovereign of Formlessness. This was truly a miscalculation."
An alien Supreme Ruler slowly spoke, his killing intent boundless and immeasurable, wishing he could immediately charge into the Domain War battlefield to exterminate the Taichu Emperor within.
The monstrous, peerless nature of the Sovereign of Formlessness back then was witnessed by all in the Chaos Sea. He was hailed as the number one beneath the Supreme Rulers, universally acknowledged, recognized by the entire Chaos Sea, inflicting heavy losses on those beneath the alien Supreme Rulers. Moreover, his terrifying potential was practically like a second Douzhan Shengzu, akin to a rising colossus from antiquity.
For the alien ancient universe, how could they allow such a colossus from antiquity to rise? Hence, the later killing scheme, where even Supreme Rulers made moves twice.
Now, a Taichu Emperor comparable to the Sovereign of Formlessness was rising. Given the alien race's nature, they absolutely could not allow him to grow under any circumstances.
Even the strongest Emperor, Sheng, began to manifest. The terrifying might of that colossus from antiquity was beyond measure, causing the entire Domain War battlefield to tremble, as if on the verge of collapse at any moment.
But on the other side, the Flame Emperor also appeared. As a fellow colossus from antiquity, he was not the slightest bit weaker. He said coldly, "Sheng, if you dare make a move, I guarantee I will directly charge into the Shengdi Domain and uproot everyone under your command, including that eldest son of yours who has already become a Supreme One."
Who was the Flame Emperor? Though a newly ascended colossus from antiquity, his temperament was domineering. When he first awakened and returned, he dared to single-handedly slay the alien race's Futu Great Emperor and even threatened the alien race, confronting several Immortal King Giants. If the strongest Emperor Sheng and others dared to act now, given the Flame Emperor's temperament, he would absolutely do it.
On the Origin Ancient Path, the Supreme Rulers of the myriad heavens all drew in cold breaths. This Flame Emperor was a truly overbearing Giant, not just ordinarily forceful.
The strongest Emperor Sheng looked coldly at the Flame Emperor, not uttering a word, yet he made no move, clearly harboring some apprehension.
Within the Domain War battlefield, the Reincarnation Emperor, the Asura Emperor, the Tonggu Emperor, and the Xuanxu Emperor wore complex expressions, sighing softly. "No wonder Taichu is so powerful. So he has stepped into this level. Truly enviable."
Their words held unconcealed envy.
Ye Chen's expression was one of doubt and suspicion. He did not know that back then, the Sovereign of Formlessness, besides being a Monarch, had also stepped into another level, seemingly hiding a great secret within. His curiosity piqued, he couldn't help but use his Great Emperor reincarnation body to inquire of the four Emperors.
"You don't know?"
The several Emperors were somewhat taken aback, but the Reincarnation Emperor still explained: "Actually, just as Douzhan Shengwang is an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, the current Taichu, to be precise, can also be called an Eternal Monarch—a supreme expert who has set foot on the path of eternity."
