Outside the Little Divine Realm, amidst the endless spatial turbulence.
Initially, everyone was already shocked by the Witch Venerable's return from the dead, but upon hearing the name of the faction he mentioned, their expressions turned to utter horror!
"The Primordial Heaven Realm!?"
"The Vault Palace?"
The various Myriad Realms Overlords who had been quietly observing the battle all wore grim expressions. "No wonder Lingxu Divine King appeared so suddenly without any warning. No wonder the Witch Venerable, who should have passed away, suddenly reappeared. To think it actually involves the Primordial Heaven Realm, and even the Vault Palace. The Desolate Realm of the Myriad Worlds is probably about to undergo a great upheaval."
Only the current few Myriad Realms Overlords knew that the Myriad Heavens and Worlds were not merely what they appeared on the surface with just a few Overlords. The forces hidden in the depths were far more terrifying by countless degrees.
One Myriad Realms Overlord spoke gravely, "This time, the Battle Saint King has truly stirred up a heaven-shaking trouble. Among the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, the Primordial Heaven Realm is the strongest. The Vault Palace is among the top colossal forces within the Primordial Heaven Realm, far beyond what our Desolate Realm can compare to."
"Once the Vault Palace seeks revenge, no matter how many Heavenly Kingdoms there are, they will all be reduced to ashes!"
How powerful was the Vault Palace? Even the Myriad Realms Overlords found it difficult to estimate. But from the fact that it had produced two Divine Kings like Lingxu Divine King and the Witch Venerable, one could glimpse a hint of its true scale.
Another Myriad Realms Overlord also wore a troubled expression. "What exactly happened? The barriers between the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds actually allow passage now? Weren't they always sealed? This is very unfavorable for our Desolate Realm."
All the Myriad Realms Overlords looked frighteningly somber.
Ordinary people were completely unaware of such matters, but the Myriad Realms Overlords were well-versed in the inside story. They understood far better that although the Little Divine Realm had slain two formidable enemies this time, what was even more terrifying was not them, but the forces behind them.
The dreadfulness of those forces surpassed the current major Myriad Realms Overlord factions by an immeasurable margin.
Moreover, the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds were originally unable to connect, sealed off by terrifying rules. Yet now, the appearance of Lingxu Divine King and the Witch Venerable proved that the Eight Realms might be returning to the interconnected state of the endless ages past.
If so, the impact on the various Myriad Realms Overlords located in the Desolate Realm would be immense.
"It seems we need to warn the Battle Saint King once. After all, the Human King and Gu Yuntong did our Desolate Realm a great favor in the past by preventing the emergence of two alien Ancient Monarchs."
A Myriad Realms Overlord spoke up, gaining the agreement of the others. Although they believed the Heavenly Kingdom could not withstand the Vault Palace's retaliation, giving an appropriate warning and admonition was still possible, serving as repayment for that past favor.
"Thank you for your kindness, everyone."
A voice abruptly rang out.
Silently, without a trace, Ye Chen's figure appeared amidst the endless spatial turbulence. His aura was flawless and complete, supremely divine and sacred, facing the seven Myriad Realms Overlords.
"Battle Saint King."
The seven Myriad Realms Overlords were somewhat startled. They had been unable to perceive how he appeared.
At such close range, they could clearly sense his perfect completeness, as if he were the most flawless being between heaven and earth, without defect or damage.
They couldn't even accurately sense Ye Chen's current cultivation level. He seemed very weak, like an ordinary mortal, yet standing so calmly amidst the endless spatial turbulence, completely ignoring the faintly discernible, vast pressure emanating from them, spoke volumes.
Nearly a millennium had passed since the Battle Saint King ascended to the upper realm. Now, upon his return, he seemed to have gained an immeasurable improvement.
However, there was also some suspicion—perhaps it was the coverage of the Little Divine Realm's origin that prevented accurate perception of his cultivation realm.
Ultimately, they did not believe that in less than a thousand years, even if the Battle Saint King's talent was indeed monstrous and rare throughout history, he could have reached an unimaginable level.
Ye Chen gave a slight nod and a smile, very peaceful, as if nothing in the world could stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.
He then cupped his fists in congratulations. "Congratulations. Nearly a thousand years have passed, and you all have smoothly stepped into a higher level. Now you can be called Divine Kings in this world."
Indeed, over the past millennium, not only had the Myriad Heavens and Domains undergone great changes, but even the Myriad Heavens and Worlds had been greatly affected, entering an unprecedented Golden Age.
The various Overlords present were no longer the great powers of the past. Now, each had successively achieved the Divine King realm, far surpassing their former selves.
The seven Myriad Realms Overlords' expressions shifted slightly, not expecting Ye Chen to sense this. It could only indicate his extraordinary nature.
"You are too kind," the Myriad Realms Overlords politely responded.
Ye Chen did not beat around the bush, getting straight to the point. "It seems you all understand what kind of force the Vault Palace of the Primordial Heaven Realm is. Please enlighten me."
He was quite curious about the so-called Primordial Heaven Realm and Vault Palace mentioned by Lingxu Divine King and the Witch Venerable.
Zichen Dominator, one of the seven Myriad Realms Overlords, smiled faintly. "It is only right to inform the Heavenly Kingdom's Dominator."
In his words, he had already placed Ye Chen on the same level as themselves.
Even the Heaven's Will youth standing behind him, capable of slaying two Divine Kings, was enough to demonstrate his profound foundation, forcing even them to treat him with gravity.
"The Heavenly Kingdom's Dominator may not be aware. Although the Myriad Heavens and Worlds are divided into territories by your Heavenly Kingdom, my Zichen Hall, the Northern Kingdom Divine Dynasty, the Tiancang Palace, and the other eight Overlord-level forces, that is actually incorrect. The true Myriad Heavens and Worlds are far, far vaster than you imagine."
"Oh?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "I'd like to hear the details!"
Zichen Dominator spoke slowly, "In truth, the realm of the Myriad Worlds where our eight major forces reside belongs to only one territory among the true Myriad Heavens and Worlds."
"The true Myriad Heavens and Worlds are divided into eight realms: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, Cosmos, Eon, Vast, and Desolate. These are also called the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds. As for the territory we are in, it belongs to the Desolate Realm among the Eight Realms."
"Among the Eight Realms, the Heaven Realm is the strongest, also called the Primordial Heaven Realm. Our Desolate Realm is the weakest because the other seven realms all have true Ancient Divine Kings. Of course, with the great changes in heaven and earth over the past millennium, we have accumulated deeply and successively reached the true Divine King level. The rankings of the Eight Realms might need revision, but we will inevitably remain among the weakest, either eighth or seventh, unable to rank among the top."
The Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds?
Ye Chen pondered slightly. No wonder he felt something was odd about the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. While searching for the Little Divine Realm, he had sensed his divine sense being blocked by something special, most likely due to the rules of the Myriad Worlds.
But now, the seven Myriad Realms Overlords had all successively advanced to Divine King. This meant the Desolate Realm possessed seven Divine Kings, yet it was still considered among the weakest of the Eight Realms. It showed just how unfathomably deep the Myriad Heavens and Worlds truly were.
He asked directly.
Zichen Dominator smiled wryly. "Heavenly Kingdom's Dominator, you may not know. Although our Desolate Realm has produced seven Divine Kings over the past millennium, the other seven realms have possessed Ancient Divine Kings since time immemorial. Moreover, with the revival of the Myriad Worlds and the arrival of the Golden Age, they have only grown stronger, not weaker. Other top great powers stuck at bottlenecks have probably also advanced to the Divine King realm within the millennium. The Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow Realms are the most terrifying, each surpassing our Desolate Realm by who knows how much."
