Boom—
An unknown amount of time later, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled.
The Luo River, spanning a hundred thousand miles in width, shook violently, churning up towering, terrifying waves.
From the distant horizon, a pitch-black figure streaked across the sky like lightning, finally descending heavily upon the void above the Luo River. It brought with it waves of terrifying momentum, shaking the vast expanse of heaven and earth around the river.
This person's appearance was like that of an ancient demon god, his entire body wreathed in layers of dark demonic light.
When all the demonic light dissipated, his true face was revealed—a young man of average stature who appeared quite ordinary and unremarkable. Yet, it was precisely this man who possessed a terrifying presence capable of suppressing all heavens, eliciting gasps of shock from everyone present.
"The Distant Desolate Demon God!"
When someone exclaimed the newcomer's name, the sound of countless sharp intakes of breath instantly filled the heavens and earth.
Even the powerhouses from the super forces and the supreme forces of the Ancient Kingdoms turned their gazes upon hearing this.
Even the visiting Ancient Divine Kings were startled, casting their eyes over.
All of this was because the name 'Distant Desolate Demon God' was far too great, far too renowned.
The battle for supremacy among the younger generation of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds had been taking place within the Primordial Heaven Realm for over a decade.
During this period, a group of super Heaven's Prides who had shaken the world had long since emerged. A specialized organization had also compiled three major rankings: the King Ranking, the Sovereign Ranking, and the Emperor Ranking.
Third on the King Ranking, first on the Emperor Ranking.
If those qualified for the King Ranking were all Heavenly King Realm existences, then those selected for the Sovereign Ranking were Heaven's Prides of the Great Power Realm.
As for those on the Emperor Ranking, they were at least Divine King Realm, and furthermore, they were the strongest Heaven's Prides capable of slaying Divine Kings.
The Distant Desolate Demon God was undoubtedly one of the strongest Heaven's Prides currently listed on the Emperor Ranking, also hailed as one of the strongest Heaven's Prides of this era most qualified to contend for the title of number one among the younger generation of the Eight Realms.
"The Distant Desolate Demon God, the strongest Heaven's Pride on the Emperor Ranking. I never expected he would personally come to this relic site in the Qianwu Ancient Country."
"Rumor has it, this Distant Desolate Demon God is a peerless Heaven's Pride from the Xuan Realm, one of the strongest Heaven's Prides of this era capable of slaying Ancient Divine Kings."
"Three months ago, an Ancient Kingdom accidentally offended him. The Distant Desolate Demon God directly charged into its imperial capital, crushed the entire royal family, wiped out the entire Ancient Kingdom in one fell swoop. Even its slumbering Divine King Ancient Ancestor was directly slain. He's a peerless Heaven's Pride, ferocious beyond measure."
"Although the Xuan Realm has always been second only to the Primordial Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm among the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, who could have imagined it would give birth to such an invincible strongest Heaven's Pride? Truly terrifying."
"This time, I'm afraid no one in the Heaven's Pride domain can stop the Distant Desolate Demon God."
Countless Heaven's Prides looked upon the newcomer, revering him as a deity, terrified as if facing the god of death.
Among the many Heaven's Prides, Ming Xu's pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks upon seeing the arrival. "It's him! He's finally come!"
In the eyes of outsiders, the Distant Desolate Demon God was the strongest Heaven's Pride from the Xuan Realm.
Unfortunately, only those of the alien race knew the truth: he was one of the five overlords of the younger generation who had descended upon the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
His cultivation was unfathomably deep. Many years ago, he had already earned a fearsome reputation on the battlefields of the myriad realms, having once casually suppressed and slain a Divine King Realm supreme powerhouse from the Pangu Universe side, displaying shocking cultivation.
His cultivation was absolutely an unfathomable existence within the Divine King Realm. Ming Xu even suspected the Distant Desolate Demon God might have stepped into another realm, gazing towards the legendary Primordial Monarch level.
Ming Xu gave a bitter smile. He never expected this great menace of a young overlord, the Distant Desolate Demon God, would also appear.
Ye Chen, who had been silently cultivating, slightly opened his eyes and swept a glance at the Distant Desolate Demon God.
"An Imperial Son? No, I can't sense that kind of supreme bloodline. He's a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride. And he looks so familiar... I've seen him on the alien race's key list in the myriad realms. He's from the alien race of the myriad realms."
A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he immediately discerned the Distant Desolate Demon God's origins. His heart sank slightly.
Because if the Distant Desolate Demon God hailed from the myriad realms, it meant that members of the alien race from the myriad realms had also descended into the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds. This was an ill omen.
Furthermore, the Desolate Realm was currently sealing Dao Shi Shi of the Eternal Monarch.
In the blink of an eye, he thought of many, many things, feeling some concern for the Desolate Realm's situation.
Then he remembered that the Desolate Realm not only housed his reincarnated Monarch body but also the Hun Yue Monarch. With two Monarch-level existences stationed there, he relaxed slightly, no longer so worried.
"Heh, I never expected the alien race has also descended into the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds. That's a bit surprising. But never mind, since you've run into me, it's your misfortune." Ye Chen smiled, a glint of killing intent capable of severing the heavens flashing deep within his eyes, well concealed.
He had no intention of killing this Distant Desolate Demon God immediately. Such a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride, possessing the potential to become a Monarch, would inevitably have corresponding supreme powerhouses protecting him from behind. Perhaps there were even Primordial Monarchs of the alien race secretly watching.
Ye Chen did not want to startle the snake. He intended to wait for the moment the alien supreme powerhouse behind him appeared, then capture them all in one net.
"I'll let you live a little longer."
He shook his head and closed his eyes again.
The Distant Desolate Demon God suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of palpitation, as if he had been targeted by a supreme menace, his heart trembling. But this feeling quickly vanished. Suspiciously, he scanned his surroundings but detected nothing unusual.
"Did I perceive wrongly?"
He then found a spot, slowly descended, and silently adjusted his state, waiting for the moment the Mythological Relic would open.
Roughly half a day later, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled with thunderous roars once more. A majestic aura akin to a heavenly sun descended from the sky.
A carriage drawn by nine dragons arrived. Before the ancient and luxurious carriage, nine Great Power Realm demon dragons served as the pulling beasts, showcasing extraordinary grandeur.
The carriage door opened, and a figure of noble and extraordinary bearing stepped out, clad in imperial robes like a Sovereign, lofty and supreme. Nine golden dragon auras coiled around his body, and a kingly aura surged forth, imposing immense pressure on the many powerhouses in this stretch of heaven and earth.
Upon closer inspection, this Sovereign was a young man, dignified and imposing, his heroic spirit flourishing. He seemed like a young emperor, and the might of his aura was in no way inferior to the earlier Distant Desolate Demon God.
"Sovereign Lord Huang!"
Many exclaimed.
Sovereign Lord Huang, the strongest Heaven's Pride on the Emperor Ranking, a supreme powerhouse of the younger generation in no way inferior to the Distant Desolate Demon God.
He was wreathed in billowing imperial aura, appearing like a true, supreme Sovereign.
The world knew that 'Sovereign' was a forbidden name, not to be taken lightly, lest one easily incur forbidden heavenly retribution.
But Sovereign Lord Huang dared to take such a name and had grown to this step, which spoke volumes.
Ye Chen was startled once more. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Sovereign Lord Huang, revealing a meaningful, far-reaching smile. "This Primordial Heaven Realm is truly becoming more and more interesting."
