Such Forbidden Zone Rulers, the dominators of an era in the Primordial Heaven Realm, possessed unfathomable cultivation. Even with their true spirits extinguished, their corpses remained unimaginable supreme divine treasures, enough to drive even Ancient Monarchs to madness.
As long as one could devour and refine them, it would be enough to advance cultivation that had been stagnant for years, even to touch upon the domains the Forbidden Zone Rulers had mastered in life.
Who would give up such an opportunity?
Visible to the naked eye, almost simultaneously, a full four Ancient Monarchs appeared, jointly making a move to seize it.
Although the corpse of the Forbidden Zone Ruler contained terrifying demonic light and Dao power, it was masterless after death and was jointly suppressed by the four great Ancient Monarchs, forcing the power back into the body.
In the end, the corpse of the Forbidden Zone Ruler from the Ten-Thousand Deaths Land was torn into four parts, each obtained by one of the four great Ancient Monarchs, who reached a tacit understanding with each other.
Boom—
Not a very long time later, the vast heavens exploded once more, and a second corpse, spanning billions of li, plummeted down. It was the corpse of another Forbidden Zone Ruler.
Billions of living beings felt their scalps go numb.
This was the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm, daring to take forceful action even against the nine Forbidden Zone Rulers.
Each of the nine Forbidden Zone Rulers was a supreme powerhouse among Monarchs, and the two who had fallen even seemed to be peerless Monarchs of the same tier.
Yet, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm, while simultaneously facing nine opponents, had still successively slain two of them.
That level of combat power was truly unimaginable!
Even the most deeply hidden supreme powerhouses within the Primordial Heaven Realm changed their expressions.
This time, multiple Ancient Monarchs made their move once again—some were reclusive supreme powerhouses, others were monarch-level ancestors from the seven great ancient legacies.
Faced with the corpse of a Forbidden Zone Ruler, even Ancient Monarchs went mad with desire.
But this time, the sky was torn apart, the Ten Thousand Daos shattered, and a Chaos Great Cauldron covered densely with countless battle scars appeared, swallowing the heavens, attempting to directly devour the second Forbidden Zone Ruler's corpse.
The world recognized it—that was the Chaos Great Cauldron of the Desolate Realm's Heavenly Kingdom Ruler.
Judging by its appearance, it had clearly undergone the most terrifying battles, bearing countless battle scars, some even piercing directly through the cauldron from inside to out.
Much blood also stained its surface—belonging to the various Rulers of the Forbidden Zones, some purple-gold, some golden, some azure, some pitch-black... each type was supreme Dao blood, containing the Great Dao rules of that level, along with corresponding imprints.
Naturally, there was also blood belonging to Ye Chen, with Chaos ancient qi soaring from it, faintly discernible as if differentiating into the Ten Thousand Daos.
A single drop of any of these Dao bloods falling could easily annihilate a God King or even a Quasi-Monarch...
The appearance of the Chaos Great Cauldron immediately intimidated many, who dared not act recklessly.
After all, it represented the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm.
"Attack!"
"We've finally obtained such an excellent opportunity, we cannot miss it!"
"Even if it's that Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, he must be completely tied up right now, unable to attend to other matters!"
"This is a great chance, let's all attack together."
The various Ancient Monarchs of the Primordial Heaven Realm found courage from within, understanding this was a rare, once-in-an-era opportunity. If they missed it, who knew how many years they would have to wait for a second chance. They chose to attack simultaneously, reaching together for the second Forbidden Zone Ruler's corpse.
Even if it risked offending the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm, they were willing!
In their eyes, at this stage, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler was likely struggling to protect himself, as he was still battling the seven remaining Forbidden Zone Rulers.
Moreover, even after slaying two Forbidden Zone Rulers, he must have paid an unimaginable price.
They did not believe the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm could survive this battle—it was simply impossible!
In secret, even Quasi-Monarchs participated!
"Seeking death!"
Even though the Chaos Great Cauldron was mottled with battle scars, even pierced through in many places, it was still terrifying. Chaos light coiled around it, and in an instant, it overturned billions of layers of Chaos ancient qi, as if the sky itself were collapsing.
Boom—
The heavens shattered and the earth cracked. The four Ancient Monarchs were all forcibly repelled, and even the parts of the Forbidden Zone Ruler's corpse they could not contain within their inner worlds fell down.
As for the bold Quasi-Monarchs, they were directly annihilated!
The second Forbidden Zone Ruler's corpse was collected into the great cauldron, which then swept horizontally, instantly piercing through the void and blasting one of the Ancient Monarchs into pieces, his form and spirit exploding.
The other three Ancient Monarchs were horrified, turning and fleeing like lightning, not daring to stay a moment longer, not even daring to turn back to collect the fallen parts of the Forbidden Zone Ruler's corpse.
Even while being restrained by the Forbidden Zone Rulers, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler was still an opponent they could not contend with. His Dao weapon alone could suppress the Primordial Heaven Realm.
However, as they had thought, Ye Chen was indeed being restrained, unable to attend to other matters. The Chaos Great Cauldron could only unleash a single strike before it had to collect the other three parts of the Forbidden Zone Ruler's corpse and then flash back into the vast heavens above.
The battle continued, growing ever more intense.
Above, beyond the layers of heavenly curtains, nothing could be seen clearly. Only the Ten Thousand Daos of the heavens were burning, the rules of all realms boiling, submerging everything.
One could also see star after star falling, a second and third Great Dao Heavenly Sun successively exploding...
This was a battle that shook the ancient and illuminated the present, an unprecedented ultimate battle, far surpassing any previous conflict in the world.
Boom—
Vaguely visible, a third colossal corpse of a Forbidden Zone Ruler fell, shattering star domains, tearing through layer after layer of heavenly curtains upon impact, and then vanished in an instant.
The world only saw that Chaos Great Cauldron flicker past in a blur...
"Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, you will die today!"
A faint, yet earth-shaking roar echoed throughout the Primordial Heaven Realm.
Following it, a fourth corpse descended, tearing through all the heavenly curtains, descending upon the mortal world.
This corpse was different, its entire body radiating absolute dark power as it fell.
It was like the descent of a fallen source of darkness, darkness covering all heavens, terrifying to the extreme.
The world was puzzled; no Forbidden Zone Ruler in their memory cultivated the Dao of Darkness.
This time, no one dared to compete, instead watching the vast heavens above, fearing the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm might strike again at a critical moment.
Although the Ancient Monarch struck by the Chaos Great Cauldron over the second corpse had not perished, only suffering severe damage to his origin, they had no doubt the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the Desolate Realm possessed the power to slay Ancient Monarchs.
After all, Forbidden Zone Rulers were still being killed. That spoke for itself.
Yet, as he did not appear, the world speculated he was likely unable to attend to other matters now, completely restrained, and might have even paid a tremendous price.
Boom—
Then, an unparalleled power exploded within the corpse, blasting the entire eternally indestructible dark corpse to pieces. Countless fragments flew out like meteors falling across various parts of the Primordial Heaven Realm.
This was a calamity of heaven-shaking proportions, for the body of such a Forbidden Zone Ruler was a vessel of Dao principles. Every inch was filled with infinite Great Dao laws, containing unimaginable power. Who in the world could withstand it?
