It must be said that the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins had prepared far too thoroughly, specifically targeting what the Heavenly Emperor had left behind, and was now on the verge of completely entering the Imperial Extreme Soaring Cloud Hall.
"Senior, please take action to stop the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, and if possible, please save the ancestors of my Desolate Imperial Clan."
The members of the Desolate Imperial Clan within the Ancient Desolate Hall pleaded, with the Desolate God King filled with entreaty.
"I will do my utmost!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was about to burn its Emperor Dao origin, forcibly boosting its power to intervene.
Suddenly, its expression drastically changed.
Within the Desolate Realm, inside the Xiu Puluosi Great World, within the world-within-a-world, a terrifying explosion erupted, accompanied by an unparalleled demonic radiance that shot into the sky.
The entire Eight Realms of the Myriad Realms could distinctly feel that extreme, fearsome tremor, shaking all the heavens and myriad worlds!
A great, sinister laugh, filled with demonic evil, resounded, shaking the Eight Realms of the Myriad Realms—
"I, Dao Shishi, have returned!"
Countless people across the Eight Realms of the Myriad Realms paled.
This was especially true for the surviving Mythological Imperial Clans of the present era.
No one understood the terror of Dao Shishi better than they did, knowing his origins and background: an Eternal Emperor from the Mythological Epoch, surpassing ordinary Monarchs. Not only did he have great hope of attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor, he even had a certain hope of becoming a colossus of all ages, looking down upon the past and present.
"Disastrous!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also changed color. How could it not know the terror of Dao Shishi? It had thought that with Hunyue Emperor and the assistance of the other Mythological Imperial Clans, plus the intervention of the Chaos Supreme Body and the experts of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, it would be impossible for the alien race to save Dao Shishi. Yet, it hadn't expected that in such a short time, Dao Shishi would successfully break the seal and emerge.
Even though Dao Shishi had been suppressed for endless eons, his strength had long been reduced to only twenty or thirty percent.
But one must know, Dao Shishi was an Eternal Emperor. Such an Eternal Emperor could not be measured by common sense; he was inherently capable of challenging a true Supreme One, far surpassing ordinary Monarchs.
Even after endless eons of suppression, his remaining strength would inevitably be shockingly fearsome. Hunyue Emperor might not be able to withstand him.
In the Desolate Realm, billions upon billions of layers of demonic radiance surged mightily, accompanied by countless dark demonic Monarch rules, overflowing across the Myriad Realms.
Under the terrifying demonic light, the surrounding dimensional Plane Worlds simply could not withstand this power of an Eternal Emperor, directly bursting like bubbles and dissipating into dust.
Here, the destruction of one dimensional Plane World after another was often accompanied by the annihilation of countless unknown lives, turning into streams of bloody light that continuously poured into Dao Shishi's body.
After endless eons, Dao Shishi's body was withered like tree bark, skin and bones, having had far too much of his origin worn away, far from his peak state. At this moment, he was precisely devouring endless flesh and blood to replenish himself.
Visibly, Dao Shishi's withered frame, after devouring who knows how much flesh and blood, gradually began to fill out again.
Of course, this was merely a drop in the bucket. Even billions upon billions of ordinary living beings might not fully replenish his complete origin, but often, quantity could lead to a qualitative change.
One could sense that Dao Shishi's aura was slowly but powerfully beginning to climb.
Hunyue Emperor's burly, majestic figure staggered unsteadily, stained with blood—origin blood—clearly having suffered severe wounds. Even his indestructible Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain body bore huge, abyssal wounds, nearly tearing his true form apart. It was truly terrifying.
One could imagine what kind of fearsome injuries he had sustained in the recent great battle.
As for the experts of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion and the six Mythological Imperial Clan experts who had gone to support them, casualties were heavy.
The Chaos Supreme Body's figure was also blurred and indistinct, showing signs of shattering.
Witnessing this scene, Hunyue Emperor's expression was extremely grim. He had never imagined that to save Dao Shishi, the alien race would go to such lengths, even sacrificing three Great Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapons to breach the seal laid by Xiu Puluosi and rescue Dao Shishi.
If not for that, with just these alien forces, even with another Monarch attacking, it would have been difficult to break his defense and save Dao Shishi.
"Three Great Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapons. The alien race is truly willing to part with them," Hunyue Emperor said hatefully. Great Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapons were forbidden armaments that even ancient Great Emperors needed to expend endless divine materials to refine. Unlike Supreme Emperor Weapons which needed to be awakened, once activated, the power they unleashed could directly equal a full-force strike from an ancient Great Emperor.
Three such weapons were equivalent to three peak-level strikes from an ancient Great Emperor. Even an Eternal Emperor would struggle to withstand them, let alone Hunyue Emperor.
Even though he avoided them immediately, he still suffered the terrifying, severe wound from one strike. The other two Forbidden Ancient Weapons shattered everything, completely destroyed the world-within-a-world, and rescued Dao Shishi.
Of course, fortunately, the number of uses for Forbidden Ancient Weapons was extremely limited. These three in particular had only one use left; otherwise, three wouldn't have been necessary.
It was a pity. Although Hunyue Emperor was strong, he simply did not possess a Supreme Emperor Weapon. Otherwise, even facing Great Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapons, he would have dared to clash head-on to some extent, and wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
"Everyone need not worry too much. Although Dao Shishi has emerged, billions of years of suppression and the Emperor Dao sealing of the Angel Clan's Great Emperor have long worn away who knows how much of his power. Now, he is merely a hollow shell. It is impossible for him to exert the full, ten-out-of-ten cultivation of an Eternal Emperor."
Hunyue Emperor said solemnly. Even so, as one who had witnessed the strength of an Eternal Emperor, he understood the terror of an Eternal Emperor better than anyone. He feared that at the very least, Dao Shishi would be no weaker than him.
But to boost morale, he could only act this way.
He took the lead, the first to actively charge towards Dao Shishi.
Dao Shishi's gaze was cold and sharp. He snorted, "Hunyue Emperor, since you actively come forward to seek death, you can't blame me."
"Ten Revolutions Heaven Collapse, Dao Shatter!"
With a great shout, a Dao fluctuation that nearly surpassed the Monarch level surged forth, manifesting ten terrifying Black Holes before Dao Shishi. They rotated and intersected, ultimately giving rise to an even more fearsome Black Hole that floated in the void, emanating unimaginable destructive might that spread out mightily.
The ten Black Holes seemed to represent ten cycles of reincarnation, unfathomable and impossible to probe. Upon appearing, they affected half of the Desolate Realm. The terrifying power wantonly scattered; even mere wisps of its force still easily annihilated one dimensional Plane World after another.
The might of a Monarch was displayed without reservation.
Hunyue Emperor faced a great enemy, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. His true form manifested, even transforming into a supreme great seal. Vaguely, who knows how many Monarch rules appeared, numbering well over tens of millions, and he slammed them forward fiercely.
The collision between two Monarchs was naturally earth-shattering, shaking the entire Desolate Realm and even spreading to the Primordial Heaven Realm.
During this, who knows how many dimensional Plane Worlds were shattered, causing infinite suffering and loss of life.
Hunyue Emperor's figure was sent flying backwards. His already cracked Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain body developed numerous fissures, nearly splitting apart and disintegrating on the spot.
