Such momentum, such heavenly majesty—across the vast world, through ancient and modern times, few could rival it.
"The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins!"
"It's the contemporary Heaven Realm ruler! Across the boundless world, it's hard to find one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Even the ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom falls far short!"
The world exclaimed in shock. This person was precisely the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, the contemporary Heaven Realm ruler, and also the most powerful Heaven Realm ruler among all those who had held the position over countless tens of thousands of years.
The strength of his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle, the unimaginable level of a Monarch.
It was said he was only a single step away from the legendary Supreme Realm.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins directly soared into the heavens, arriving before the Huangji Lingxiao Hall. His speed was so fast that even Ye Chen's true self was far inferior.
This was a Monarch, not someone the current Ye Chen could compare to.
The figure of the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was blurred, impossible to see clearly. One could only sense the boundless Faith Power, surpassing starry seas, lying dormant within his body. Its strength was unfathomable, reaching an immeasurable level.
At this moment, Ye Chen immediately took action.
With a whoosh, visible to the naked eye, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body appeared silently before him.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, which looked like a seven-year-old boy, stood before the Heavenly Dao Sun. Without a word, his childish little face stern, he swung his fist. Emperor's Dao Origin, Annihilation Emperor Realm, and Emperor-level physical power layered upon each other, displaying supreme mighty power no less than that of a Monarch, as he furiously struck towards the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins.
Under this terrifying might, even the entire Primordial Heaven Realm trembled, causing shock and awe among billions upon billions of people across the world.
It seemed unimaginable that such a peerless, towering existence still existed in the world, far more powerful than even the ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom.
That level of mighty power was likely something even a supreme figure like the ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom would find utterly impossible to withstand from a single punch.
"The Saint Sovereign!?"
The alien race, however, all changed expressions, for they had long since learned of the various invincible feats of this Saint Sovereign throughout the myriad domains of the heavens—he was an invincible Monarch of the contemporary era.
They never imagined that this Saint Sovereign had actually descended upon the Eight Realms of Myriad Worlds alongside the Battle Saint King and the others.
Facing such a vast and boundless offensive, the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins remained as deep as an abyss and as firm as a mountain peak, standing majestically atop the nine-layered heavens. Layers upon layers of Faith Power surged, submerging his own body, before he slapped out a palm. Who knew how much boundless and immeasurable Dao mighty power it contained? It collided with the attack.
Boom—
The heavens shook and the earth trembled. Where the Heavenly Dao Sun was located, Monarch-level mighty power wantonly rippled out, then swept grandly across the boundless starry ruins.
It directly blasted a region of starry ruins, nearly the entire central region of the Primordial Heaven Realm, completely into dust, vast and no longer visible.
Thud, thud, thud—
The figure of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was actually forced back over a dozen steps in an instant, almost crashing into the Heavenly Dao Sun.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins stood firm and unmoving, as stable as a mountain.
The whole world was shocked. The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' strength was actually this formidable, forcefully suppressing a towering existence of Monarch level.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's eyes also deepened considerably. He looked thoughtfully at the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, sensing the power from the previous collision.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' strength was far more powerful than he had imagined.
Moreover, he actually couldn't completely discern the true extent of the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' strength.
"What a formidable Lord of the Heavenly Ruins. It seems mastering the Faith Power of the entire Primordial Heaven Realm over endless ages has made him far more terrifying than I imagined."
Quietly, the Emperor Star and the Futu Emperor Spear manifested, flickering in and out of visibility, emitting faint threads of supreme Emperor's Dao mighty power that spread in all directions, shaking the myriad heavens.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' gaze was profoundly deep, resembling reincarnation itself. He glanced at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, took a step forward, and actually, silently, surpassed his blockade. In a single step, he arrived before the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Heavenly Stairs leading to the Huangji Lingxiao Hall.
Boom—
Within the Huangji Lingxiao Hall, boundless Emperor's Aura Light poured down, carrying the supreme, unfathomable mighty power of the highest authority, surging grandly towards the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins.
This Emperor's Aura Light was left behind by the Heavenly Emperor—unimaginable.
When it struck the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, a sound like the burial and destruction of heaven and earth instantly rang out, echoing through the nine heavens and ten earths, endlessly distant.
It also contained an inconceivable power of destruction.
If such Emperor's Aura Light struck, even someone as powerful as a peerless Monarch, or even a peak Monarch, would likely be instantly reduced to ashes.
Yet the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins actually withstood it completely, blocking the Emperor's Aura Light, and his figure didn't retreat in the slightest.
He remained as steady as Mount Tai, not moving a bit.
His Faith Power remained as vast and boundless as ever, descending upon his person.
It was as if the terrifying collision just now hadn't truly shaken him in the least.
The world watched, also feeling a chill.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was too powerful. Though he was the contemporary Heaven Realm ruler, his strength far surpassed that of previous Heaven Realm rulers by too great a margin.
This was evident from how he could contend with, even suppress, a being like the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, who possessed Monarch-level existence.
It could be said he absolutely counted as the most powerful generation of Heaven Realm ruler throughout history. The strength of his power could truly be called unfathomable.
At this moment, while Ye Chen was simultaneously confronting the eight Dominator-level supreme powerhouses, he also raised his head to gaze into the distance at the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins. Just as the Emperor's Aura Light violently struck the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, he vaguely glimpsed a corner of the truth, using his Chaos Supreme Eyes to catch a glimpse of reality.
Instantly, his pupils shrank to the size of needle points.
Originally, he had thought the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was most likely an existence from the Mythical Era. But now, with this glimpse of truth, he seemed to understand that the other party's true origins were probably far more astonishing than imagined.
"Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, just what is your true identity?"
Ye Chen murmured to himself, his voice grave.
Boom—
Right then, the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins moved. He stepped onto the celestial staircase, beginning to ascend the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Heavenly Stairs, heading towards the Huangji Lingxiao Hall.
Seeing such a scene, how could the world not understand? The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins intended to compete for the heaven-defying fortune left behind by the Heavenly Emperor!
Ye Junlin, protected by the Emperor's Aura Light, proceeded smoothly and unimpeded, directly ascending the stairs. In the blink of an eye, he crossed over a hundred steps.
But the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was no less impressive. Even with the obstruction of the Emperor's Aura Light, his speed was not inferior to Ye Junlin's.
At this moment, the two were actually moving at roughly the same speed.
However, it was quite clear that before the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Heavenly Stairs, the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins could hardly affect Ye Junlin at all.
The higher one went on the Emperor's Aura Light, the more terrifying it became. Even a towering existence like the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, who surpassed ordinary Monarchs, couldn't gain the slightest advantage. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, crossing the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Heavenly Stairs wouldn't require even a thousandth or hundredth of an instant.
But upon careful thought, this was only to be expected.
The Huangji Lingxiao Hall's One Hundred and Eight Thousand Heavenly Stairs might seem ordinary, but in reality, they contained the peerless Emperor's power left behind by the Heavenly Emperor—an unfathomable force that directly weakened the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' power.
This was unimaginable, but if one considered it was the Heavenly Emperor, it was enough to understand.
