Although the nine Monarchs all felt a sudden ominous premonition and immediately retreated, it was already too late.
Whoosh—
Silently and without a sound, the figure of the Taichu Emperor reappeared. He charged alone into the midst of the nine Monarchs, just as he had at the beginning.
Like a tiger among sheep!
The nine Monarchs instantly felt their hair stand on end, a chill running down their spines!
"Hmph, so what if you're an Eternal Emperor? You will die today!"
The three Monarchs wielding Supreme Emperor's Weapons bore the brunt of the assault, immediately swinging their weapons to strike at the Taichu Emperor.
Under this attack, even a Supreme One caught off guard would likely sustain injuries.
After all, all three Supreme Emperor's Weapons had been awakened, and to a near-perfect degree, containing the true majesty of a Supreme Emperor—vast and boundless, akin to a Supreme One making a move.
"The methods of an Emperor who has stepped onto the Eternal Path are beyond your comprehension."
The corner of Taichu Emperor's mouth lifted in a disdainful arc, his imposing aura peerless, almost like a true Ancient Emperor as he met the attack with his bare hands.
Boom—
His figure did not retreat. A layer of extremely dense Emperor's radiance emanated from his body, as if he had truly become an Emperor, single-handedly withstanding the assault of the three Monarchs wielding Supreme Emperor's Weapons.
Supreme light erupted, destroying heaven and earth. The myriad realms seemed on the verge of collapse. The Saint Prison Domain battlefield, spanning who knows how many billions of li, caved in, breaching the outer world. Yet he stood firm and unshaken, like a mountain, rooted amidst the torrent of shattered space-time.
Ignoring the three's incredulous gazes, the Taichu Emperor said coldly, "As an Eternal Emperor, my combat power approaches that of a Supreme One. Withstanding you lot is not impossible."
Rumble—
A powerful surge of Supreme might spread out majestically, sending all three flying back.
Truly like a Supreme One!
At the same time, with a beckoning gesture, a heavenly sun appeared in his hand.
It was a Supreme Heavenly Sun, containing an intense Supreme aura, all concentrated into his fist, condensing a thousand ordinary strikes into this single punch.
The Taichu Emperor faced Hunyue Emperor, that unorthodox Chaos Holy Spirit, and said indifferently, "One punch to defeat you!"
"Ah—"
Hunyue Emperor let out a great roar. Silver radiance boiled on his fist—the essence of the most precious Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain within his body condensed into this punch. The silver color vanished, replaced by a vivid, rainbow-like crimson.
"What a formidable Hunyue Emperor! He has actually transformed the Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain into a flesh-and-blood body, and his blood has turned red. This signifies his Emperor's Dao has achieved success, making him supremely powerful. I fear this attack is many times more terrifying than his previous ones."
A Supreme One exclaimed in admiration.
Hunyue Emperor's true form was a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain, which originally had no blood. Now, not only had he developed silver blood, but he had further evolved it into bright red, representing another step forward.
And the fist condensed with this crimson blood surpassed the immortality and fearsomeness of other parts of his divine body.
This strike was undoubtedly Hunyue Emperor's most terrifying attack. Even another Monarch struck by it would surely explode.
Boom—
The two fists collided, releasing billions of zhang of radiance.
The result: the Taichu Emperor remained unmoved, his fist unscathed, while Hunyue Emperor's fist shattered, bones broken and twisted beyond recognition. Bright red blood dripped down, each drop containing absolute Chaos essence.
Once again, Hunyue Emperor was utterly defeated, beaten in his strongest domain.
But his loss was not unjust. Only a true Supreme One would know how powerful the Taichu Emperor was now, having forcibly gathered a mouthful of essence blood to reach his peak state—scarcely inferior to a true Supreme One, just as monstrous as the invincible Wuxiang Junwang of old.
Back then, Wuxiang Junwang's physical body was no weaker than a true Supreme One's. One could imagine how powerful the Taichu Emperor was now.
"Not bad, truly not bad. Among contemporary Monarchs, you barely count as one who can withstand an Eternal Emperor, far surpassing the others."
This was the Taichu Emperor's evaluation of Hunyue Emperor, already considered high praise.
One must know that the Taichu Emperor was equivalent to a true Supreme One. That Hunyue Emperor could withstand him represented his absolute power. Once he stepped into the Supreme One realm, the strength of his physical body would likely rival true Chaos Immortal Gold, an absolutely terrifying existence.
Yet Hunyue Emperor was unwilling, roaring, "I refuse to accept this!"
He swung his stone fist to attack once more.
Boom—
But this time, the Taichu Emperor directly punched through Hunyue Emperor's head. With a deafening crash, the skull of this unorthodox Chaos Holy Spirit shattered.
Hunyue Emperor perished, his true form immediately appearing—a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain that could reach billions of zhang in height.
"Perfect timing. I need to refine a new Dao weapon. This Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain suits me well; I can refine it into my Eternal Emperor's weapon!"
The Taichu Emperor grabbed the billions-of-zhang-tall Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain, refined it down to less than a thousand li in size, and stored it within his inner world.
It must be known that such a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain was itself born from the Chaos Sea after billions of years of gestation, its entire body composed of true Chaos essence, let alone having gained sentience, making it an unorthodox Chaos Holy Spirit.
Furthermore, having cultivated to the Monarch realm meant its essence had been elevated once more, its value no less than that of Chaos Immortal Gold.
For a Supreme One, the value of such a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain that had once cultivated to the Monarch realm was even higher than that of Chaos Immortal Gold.
Of course, this referred to its overall value. Strictly speaking, a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain naturally could not compare to boundless Chaos Immortal Gold spanning billions of zhang in value, and the Chaos Sea could not possibly contain so much Chaos Immortal Gold.
Killing the unorthodox Chaos Holy Spirit Hunyue Emperor in two moves displayed the ultimate power of an Eternal Emperor.
Naturally, this was also because Hunyue Emperor had been severely wounded several times earlier. Otherwise, even if a Supreme One attacked, it would be difficult to kill Hunyue Emperor in just two moves.
Of course, the Taichu Emperor also expended a considerable amount of divine power, as this state could not be maintained for long.
But to intimidate others, he had no choice.
At the same time, a dark moon rose and fell—clearly the move of the Dark Night Emperor, yet now perfectly displayed in the Taichu Emperor's hands. Surging Yin power overflowed, freezing everything.
The three Monarchs were immediately frozen in the void.
The Taichu Emperor displayed the extraordinary methods of an Eternal Emperor, manifesting various Emperor arts and divine abilities like an Ancient Emperor making a move, overwhelmingly powerful. By the eighth move, he had slain the second Monarch.
In the time that followed, the world watched as the Taichu Emperor swept through the attacking Monarchs in a one-sided domination, overwhelmingly powerful and peerless.
Moreover, the power of an Eternal Emperor was incredibly strong, almost akin to an Eternal Quasi-Sovereign compared to a Quasi-Sovereign.
On the Saint Prison Domain battlefield, one towering blood light after another bloomed, each time surging for billions of li, with far-reaching impact, occasionally even breaching the world barrier of the Saint Prison Domain battlefield and shaking the Origin Ancient Path.
The bloom and surge of each blood light represented a Monarch being smashed to pieces, or even perishing.
Infinite phenomena blotted out the sky and covered the earth, inundating the entire Saint Prison Domain battlefield and shaking the Origin Ancient Path.
