Luan Shi Tianjun was far from his opponent and understood now that he had merely been toyed with earlier.
Realizing his life hung in the balance, he roared urgently, "Why aren't you all making your move? Once he kills me, you'll be next!"
The eight Forbidden Zone Rulers all swayed slightly, understanding Luan Shi Tianjun's meaning, yet they hesitated.
If they didn't act now, perhaps they wouldn't incur the wrath of this Desolate Realm Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, and he wouldn't attack them. A sliver of hope lingered in their hearts.
Luan Shi Tianjun knew their thoughts and sneered coldly, "Do you truly believe he won't come for you after dealing with me? You've all attacked him, tried to stop his crossing, attempted to kill him—this is a life-and-death grudge. Do you think he won't seek revenge? Abandon these unnecessary delusions!"
"Very well!"
In the end, as Dominators of an era who had manifested Forbidden Zones of Life, they were decisive and ruthless individuals, not ones to hesitate. They immediately decided to act.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
...
One after another, the Forbidden Zones of Life exploded, each unleashing sky-blotting pillars of light that pierced the heavens, displaying infinite might.
One supreme figure after another moved, arriving from all corners of the Primordial Heaven Realm.
From the east, south, west, north, and the central lands, even from the starry skies.
But without exception, they all carried overwhelming, boundless, immeasurable power, crushing past and present—who could possibly withstand it?
The entire boundless Primordial Heaven Realm shook!
The heavens cracked and the earth split; all the myriad Daos of the cosmos were forced to retreat.
This demonstrated the vast, heavenly might of the nine Forbidden Zone Rulers!
Grasping their respective Forbidden Ancient Weapons, they appeared, crossing the endless void in an instant to descend upon the World-Burial Mountain Forbidden Zone of Life in the eastern part of the Primordial Heaven Realm.
It was as if eight supreme deities had descended to the mortal world.
The entire world fell silent!
Billions of All Living Beings, countless gazes, all focused intently on the World-Burial Mountain Forbidden Zone of Life.
A peerless battle of unprecedented scale throughout the ages was about to erupt.
It would be the Desolate Realm's peerless figure, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, facing off alone against the nine Taboo Figures of the Primordial Heaven Realm's Forbidden Zones of Life.
"Finally, you've all come?"
Ye Chen threw a punch, striking Luan Shi Tianjun and causing a spray of blood to explode from his body, nearly piercing his physical form.
Luan Shi Tianjun retreated step by step, utterly outmatched, covered in blood, his aura significantly weakened and his appearance wretched.
But seeing the appearance of the eight other Forbidden Zone Rulers, he breathed a sigh of relief, then revealed a cold, merciless smile. "Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, even if you are a peerless Sovereign, what of it? Facing the nine of us, we can still bury you!"
The Taboo Figures of the nine Forbidden Zones of Life were all supreme powerhouses among Sovereigns, extremely powerful. Though not yet peerless Sovereigns, they were not far off.
And with nine of them, how formidable they were!
Gods blocking their path would be slain; Buddhas blocking their path would be slain!
However, the Taboo Figures from the other eight Forbidden Zones did not attack immediately. One of them shouted, "Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, if you leave the Primordial Heaven Realm now and swear not to invade again for this entire epoch, we will not attack."
The other Forbidden Zone Taboo Figures also nodded, agreeing with this.
Luan Shi Tianjun's expression changed drastically. He opened his mouth but said nothing, only his face turning ashen and ugly to the extreme.
He understood clearly: the other Forbidden Zone Taboo Figures were all deeply wary of this Desolate Realm Heavenly Kingdom Ruler.
A supreme powerhouse at the level of a peerless Sovereign—what kind of world-defying abilities might he possess? This was evident from his ability to shatter the Rule Heavenly Pass, withstand the full revival and suppression of nine Forbidden Ancient Weapons, and even suppress a Taboo Figure like himself, a ruler of a Forbidden Zone of Life.
If the nine of them attacked, they were confident they could kill him. But if he fought desperately, he might drag half of them to their graves.
No one doubted this.
It could only be said that the Desolate Realm's Heavenly Kingdom Ruler was indeed strong to the point of suppressing the entire era.
However, he was not yet completely invincible; otherwise, the situation would not be like this.
Unless absolutely necessary, they truly did not wish to engage in a life-and-death battle with a peerless, era-defying figure of the peerless Sovereign level. The slightest misstep could cost them their lives!
"Oh? Really?"
Ye Chen spoke, seeming rather interested.
Hearing this, the nine Taboo Figures looked pleased. "These words are absolutely true."
Suddenly, their expressions changed drastically, because they felt an overwhelming power rushing toward them.
An infinite sense of danger stimulated each of them, making their hair stand on end.
Boom—
At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly moved, faster than the extreme, as if transcending the River of Time, arriving before Luan Shi Tianjun and unleashing an emperor-level divine ability that suppressed past and present.
Luan Shi Tianjun couldn't react in time. He was blasted into smithereens, his Form and Spirit torn into infinite fragments.
Severely wounded!
Utterly and completely severely wounded!
Of course, he didn't die immediately. Relying on his terrifyingly tenacious vitality, he stubbornly survived, but he was utterly crippled.
With his Form and Spirit so grievously wounded, his strength would inevitably plummet drastically, and it would likely take tens of thousands of years to recover.
"Heavenly Kingdom Ruler!"
Luan Shi Tianjun's roar shook the boundless, vast territory. He reconstituted his Form and Spirit in the distance, but a sense of lingering fear remained.
If he weren't already not far from the peerless Sovereign level, that single strike would have undoubtedly killed any other Primordial Sovereign.
His opponent's Chaos Dao techniques possessed the terrifying power to wound the origin and grind away the true spirit.
The other eight Forbidden Zone Taboo Figures were also enraged. To attack so brazenly right before their eyes was truly seeking death.
Their fury blotted the skies as they directly launched attacks at Ye Chen.
"Hahaha—come at me, all of you together! Today, I want to see if the so-called Taboo Figures of the Primordial Heaven Realm's Forbidden Zones of Life are truly this supreme."
Ye Chen's aura surged even further. Chaos Light erupted with billions of layers of radiance, dazzling the present era, suppressing all heavens as he attacked directly, disregarding everything.
With a great shout, he actively charged forward to engage the other eight Forbidden Zone Taboo Figures in battle.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Explosions and upheavals shook the entire eastern part of the Primordial Heaven Realm!
The rules of the myriad realms, the myriad Daos of the cosmos, boiled and burned, surging to strike the ninefold heavens, vanishing into the vast starry skies and shaking down countless stars.
The Primordial Heaven Realm fell into absolute silence, because everyone was watching intently, without blinking, that world-shaking, peerless battle that resonated through past and present.
For some reason, the people of the world actually hoped the Desolate Realm's era-defying figure would win.
Perhaps it was because the Forbidden Zone Rulers disregarded billions of All Living Beings, treating them as ants, while the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler was the opposite, protecting billions of All Living Beings.
The great battle erupted. This was a world-defying battle involving the supreme Dominator level of the Primordial Heaven Realm, unprecedented, shaking the past and dazzling the present!
The entire World-Burial Mountain Forbidden Zone of Life completely exploded, reduced to historical dust.
Now, they charged beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, vanishing into the firmament above, fighting in an even vaster territory.
Without a doubt, this day would be recorded in the annals of history, remembered throughout the myriad ages!
Above the firmament, in the boundless starry realm, stars exploded one after another, successively turning into cosmic dust.
