"Expel!"
A light shout. Ye Chen's gaze sharpened slightly.
Boom—
An indescribable, unimaginable, immense power surged forth, vaster and more boundless than the power of an Ancient Sovereign, ethereal and formless.
Words became law!
Ye Chen's authority as the Dominator of the Heaven Realm was even mightier than the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' 'words become law' of old, equivalent to a Supreme One speaking, words becoming law.
Hiss—
From the center of Yaya's brow, the strands of Emperor's Curse power entwined around her Sovereign Heavenly Soul were being forcibly stripped away.
Originally, the Emperor's Curse power was tightly fused with Yaya's Sovereign Heavenly Soul. But facing the 'words become law' authority of Ye Chen, the Dominator of the Heaven Realm, it had no power to resist. However, this stripping process also involved Yaya's soul body, causing her small face to pale as she gritted her silver teeth, enduring the pain of her soul being peeled away.
Finally, in just a short moment, all the Emperor's Curse power was completely stripped away.
On Ye Chen's palm, a crystal ball materialized, the Emperor's Curse power sealed within it.
A wisp of dawn light entered Yaya's Sovereign Heavenly Soul, dissolving that excruciating pain of separation. Yaya's expression finally eased considerably as she looked at her father with shock and joy. "Dad, have you already—"
Ye Chen shook his head. How could he not know what this little one was thinking? But there was still quite a distance to the Supreme One realm. How could one say that a mere century of seclusion would allow him to easily cross that threshold?
"Time is running short. Let's go. There's still time to rush to the battlefield. This time, I also want to know what audacity the alien race has to descend to the lower realms once more, and to dare harm my daughter like this."
Taking Yaya's hand, he tore open the void.
Silently, soundlessly, the two left the side hall.
...
Cosmic Realm.
The sixth of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds. Like the Desolate Realm, it was a territory of countless Plane Worlds, but it had been completely occupied by the alien race.
Billions upon billions of layers of demonic light inundated the lands of the Cosmic Realm.
In the distance, at the borderlands of the Cosmic Realm, stood a towering, insurmountable Rule Heavenly Pass, completely isolating the entire Cosmic Realm and preventing the alien race from reaching the other seven realms.
Upon the Rule Heavenly Pass stood the Goddess, Yi Wu, Qian Xun, Monarch Hun Yue, and the other powerful experts of the Celestial Kingdom, their expressions grave.
For not far away, the alien army had gathered in full force this time, not dispersing.
Especially at the front, three Alien Emperor Lords stood like eternal, indestructible Primordial demonic mountains, their demonic might overshadowing the world, capable of shattering the eight directions and the cosmos. Two of them wielded supreme Emperor's weapons, while the third held the most terrifying Great Emperor-level forbidden ancient weapon.
Behind them, the endless alien army was densely packed, just like the borderlands outside the Tenfold Emperor Pass.
The armies of both sides had gathered their might; the true great battle had long since begun.
Below, the sounds of endless slaughter soared to the heavens.
The boundless alien army madly assaulted the Rule Heavenly Pass. Infinite destructive divine abilities fell like rain, blanketing the sky and earth, landing upon the Rule Heavenly Pass.
Furthermore, multiple Ancient Sovereigns displayed the heaven-piercing capabilities of Universe Overlords. With a single thought reaching the heavens, using their supreme Sovereign heavenly might, they forcibly summoned Plane Worlds, transforming them into a meteor shower that continuously crashed against the Rule Heavenly Pass.
These Plane Worlds had been corrupted by the alien race over the past fifty years, their billions of living beings fallen into demonic creatures. Now, these Plane Worlds crashed against the Rule Heavenly Pass, causing the entire pass to shake violently.
Layer upon layer of dark demonic power exploded, corroding the Rule Heavenly Pass, gradually weakening it.
Upon the Heavenly Pass, the experts of the Celestial Kingdom stood arrayed. At the very least, they were at the Great Power realm, with many strong individuals. Facing the alien charge from below, they continuously attacked to block, shattering Plane Worlds to prevent them from striking the Rule Heavenly Pass with maximum force.
Though they detested the alien race's cruel methods—using Plane Worlds, slaughtering billions of living beings to crash against the Rule Heavenly Pass—they understood that now was not the time for mercy.
Besides, the living beings within these Plane Worlds had long been corrupted and fallen; they could no longer be simply regarded as Pangu Universe beings.
Terrifying explosive roars echoed incessantly.
Clearly, the defense of the Rule Heavenly Pass far exceeded the alien race's expectations. To a certain extent, it was even more solid and indestructible than when Ye Chen had assaulted the pass in the past.
"The Rule Heavenly Pass is evolved from the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun, combined with Faith Power. It is incomparably stable. Even an Emperor Lord would find it difficult to breach, unless an Emperor Lord personally attacks with a supreme Emperor's weapon in hand."
Upon the Rule Heavenly Pass, the Goddess lightly parted her red lips. Her beautiful, autumn-water-like eyes rippled with unusual splendor as she spoke the truth.
Infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun and endless Faith Power, fused together, how solid and indestructible it was! Even someone as powerful as an Emperor Lord, a peerless figure, could not breach it in a short time.
This was also why they had been able to seal all the alien race within the Cosmic Realm for half a century.
But this was not a long-term solution. Coincidentally, the alien race happened to have Emperor Lords and supreme Emperor's weapons.
Sure enough—
At this moment, the three Alien Emperor Lords also began their assault, attacking with the most terrifying supreme Emperor's weapons.
The boundless Rule Heavenly Pass shook violently, almost shattering at the first impact.
Boom—
Monarch Hun Yue stamped his foot, stabilizing the Rule Heavenly Pass.
Simultaneously, he stepped forward, wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon, moving to confront one of them. "Huang Lan, I'll be your opponent!"
Meanwhile, the five Forbidden Zone Rulers jointly manipulated one supreme Emperor's weapon, barely delaying another Alien Emperor Lord.
Subsequently, the Goddess and the others, as the controllers of the Celestial Kingdom and with Ye Chen's permission, could control the Faith Power accumulated over endless eons. Though they could not utilize it all like Ye Chen, it was enough to wield a supreme Emperor's weapon and delay the final Alien Emperor Lord.
However, this also diluted a significant amount of their power, making it difficult to fully defend the Rule Heavenly Pass.
But for them, the battle situation remained unfavorable.
Emperor Lords were too powerful, surpassing Ancient Sovereigns, standing on another level entirely. The character 'Emperor' (Emperor) in their title said enough—they were invincible existences beneath the Supreme Ones.
Even if the Celestial Kingdom gathered the various powers of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, borrowing a certain amount of power from the Heavenly Dao Sun to evolve the Rule Heavenly Pass, they could only barely seal off the Cosmic Realm and defend it. In the long run, they knew they would inevitably be unable to hold.
Emperor Lords were terrifying enough as is, let alone three Emperor Lords wielding supreme Emperor's weapons or Great Emperor-level forbidden ancient weapons.
The Goddess and the others also felt that it wouldn't be long before the Rule Heavenly Pass would surely be shattered. When that happened, the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds would be in great trouble.
The only consolation was that the Primordial Heaven Realm could retreat and defend. It could sense the alien race's aura and resist all of them.
They firmly believed that even if the three Alien Emperor Lords wielded supreme Emperor's weapons or forbidden ancient weapons, they could not invade the Primordial Heaven Realm. The Heavenly Dao Sun would surely expel them forcefully.
The great battle erupted. The power of countless collisions was unimaginable, causing the Rule Heavenly Pass to shake violently.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
At this moment, the figures of the five Forbidden Zone Rulers were sent flying backward, each exploding half their bodies, severely wounded.
The gap between them was too vast. Even wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon and joining forces, they were still no match for a true Emperor Lord.
"Not good!"
The experts of the Celestial Kingdom changed expressions.
Monarch Hun Yue, the Goddess, and the others all wanted to intervene and stop it, but each was restrained by their respective Emperor Lord opponent, unable to attend to others.
"Did you truly think a mere Rule Heavenly Pass could seal us? How laughable."
An Alien Emperor Lord sneered coldly, wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon revived to an extremely high degree, almost equivalent to an Ancient Great Emperor perfectly reviving an imperial weapon. It erupted with billions of strands of supreme Emperor's weapon radiance, fiercely crashing against the Rule Heavenly Pass.
Boom—
With a tremendous roar, even the Rule Heavenly Pass could not withstand it. A massive hole was forcibly blasted through it.
The terrifying impact force of the supreme Emperor's weapon layered upon itself, even transforming into an unparalleled destructive storm that swept across all directions.
Upon the Heavenly Pass, countless defending experts were annihilated, reduced to ashes. Casualties were severe.
Even Qian Xun was affected by the residual shockwaves. As powerful as the War Saint was, he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, nearly having his form and spirit blasted apart.
"Hahaha—! The Rule Heavenly Pass has been breached! Let's see who can stop us today? All of you are going to die!"
The Alien Emperor Lord roared to the heavens, his shout shaking the thirty-three heavens.
Through the large hole in the Rule Heavenly Pass, he forced his way in. Even with the rules of the Primordial Heaven Realm blocking him, in the blink of an eye, half his body had already squeezed through.
His boundless Emperor Lord might shook the Rule Heavenly Pass, unstoppable, impacting the Primordial Heaven Realm. Billions upon billions of living beings were terrified.
The people of the world hurriedly kowtowed and prostrated towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao Sun, reciting the name of the Heaven Realm Dominator in their hearts, hoping that in this apocalyptic moment, the Dominator would emerge to save all living beings.
"Battle Saint King? You dare recite his name? If he dares appear today, this Emperor Lord will destroy him!"
The Alien Emperor Lord was arrogant and rampant, his might sweeping across the extraterrestrial domains, shaking down a sky full of stars, like a demonic Emperor overshadowing the world.
The supreme Emperor's weapon in his hand expanded to no less than billions of miles, covering a boundless territory as it descended with a crash, aiming to annihilate the billions upon billions of living beings within the Primordial Heaven Realm.
It was as if the apocalypse had descended, eternal darkness had arrived!
"Disastrous!"
Everyone was on the verge of despair. An unoccupied Emperor Lord, moreover wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon—how terrifying, simply unimaginable.
Now, although the Heavenly Dao Sun was powerful, without Ye Chen's control, it could only passively defend, utterly incapable of resisting the Alien Emperor Lord. If this continued, the Primordial Heaven Realm would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
"Oh? Can you really destroy me?"
Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out from thin air.
Simultaneously, a supreme, boundless, immense power poured forth like an ocean, crashing fiercely against the Alien Emperor Lord.
Boom—
Even with the Alien Emperor Lord wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon, he was sent flying, tumbling back into the lands of the Cosmic Realm. Along the way, he shattered who knew how many Plane Worlds, even causing half his Emperor Lord body to explode, blood staining the Cosmic Realm.
The entire world fell silent!
Looking up, they saw a majestic, perfect, and complete figure appear, standing atop the thirty-three heavens.
Infinite radiance poured down, inundating the heavens, also reinforcing the Rule Heavenly Pass, instantly repairing the previous hole.
The majestic power completely suppressed the demonic aura of the alien race's endless army, as if an Ancient Great Emperor had descended to the mortal world, sweeping across all directions, invincible.
It was Ye Chen!
He looked down from on high, his voice majestic. "Alien race, your courage is indeed not small. After being utterly annihilated the last time you descended, you still dare to descend again. Do you truly think that after the Heavenly Emperor is gone, we cannot kill you aliens?"
"Chen!"
The Goddess and the others were overjoyed. Who else could it be but Ye Chen?
"Dominator!"
"Battle Saint King!"
Upon the Rule Heavenly Pass, the people of the world cheered in ecstasy.
The Primordial Heaven Realm, and even the other lands of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, were all overjoyed.
The Heaven Realm Dominator had come. The alien crisis would be completely resolved.
"My apologies for letting you suffer."
Ye Chen's voice softened, no longer so majestic. Gentle streams of dawn light swept towards everyone, instantly healing all their injuries, at least removing all surface wounds.
Such a method could be called miraculous.
"Battle Saint King!"
Within the Cosmic Realm, the various alien experts' pupils constricted one by one. Clearly, they had not expected this damned Battle Saint King to appear at the critical moment once again.
Moreover, judging by the vast, continuously released might emanating from his body, it clearly surpassed that of an Emperor Lord, not inferior to a true Supreme Great Emperor.
"Has he become an Emperor?"
Even the three Emperor Lords found it hard to believe. Only two or three hundred years had passed, yet this Battle Saint King seemed to have obtained boundless opportunities, suddenly reaching such a realm.
The Supreme One—that was a supreme realm that even Emperor Lords like them needed to look up to, even pursue for a lifetime.
Don't think that just because they were Emperor Lords, they had a high chance. In the end, they only had a twenty to thirty percent hope of becoming a Supreme One.
And don't think twenty to thirty percent was a lot. That was only under normal circumstances, when they had accumulated enough, that they would have such a twenty to thirty percent hope of proving their Dao and becoming an Emperor.
But often, Emperor Lords might not necessarily accumulate enough. Once their lifespan began to approach its end, with their form and spirit withering, their strength would plummet, making transcending the tribulation much more difficult.
At that time, they often had no choice but to attempt advancement before accumulating enough.
So, in truth, an Emperor Lord wanting to truly prove their Dao and become an Emperor ultimately had only about a ten percent chance.
Now, a junior who had only become a Sovereign a few hundred years ago, whose cultivation journey at most spanned a thousand years, and only two or three hundred years had passed—he had actually reached such a supreme realm. How could they not feel envy, jealousy, and hatred?
"Great Emperor... the supreme domain. Without being a Supreme One, one is ultimately an ant."
Experts on both sides couldn't help but sigh, especially the alien race, which was filled with unparalleled jealousy.
They had fought hard to reach this step, almost breaking into the Primordial Heaven Realm, only to have the Battle Saint King appear now, and in the form of a Supreme One at that. Like an Emperor touring the mortal world, even an Emperor Lord wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon was nothing more than this—swept away with a single blow.
"No, he is not a true Supreme One, not a Great Emperor. Although his power is strong, equivalent to the Emperor realm, there is an essential difference."
An Emperor Lord quickly denied it. After all, he was an Emperor Lord, with sharp perception, having discerned the truth.
He knew Ye Chen was not a true Supreme One, only that he had mastered power not inferior to a Great Emperor.
"So that's it. This power is not inferior to an Ancient Great Emperor, but lacks the corresponding Supreme Emperor's laws. It resembles World Power. It should be the origin power of that Primordial Heaven Realm."
Another Emperor Lord frowned, also detecting the essence of this origin power.
"The Primordial Heaven Realm is rumored to have been formed from a massive fragment of the Primordial Divine World that fell long ago. It's comparable to one-tenth the size of the Myriad Domains, even larger than the Primordial Chaos World. Its origin power can indeed rival a Supreme One."
The third Emperor Lord agreed, simultaneously feeling intense covetousness.
Once one mastered the origin of such a Primordial Heaven Realm, even if not a Supreme One, one would be equivalent to an alternative Supreme One, possessing peerless combat power capable of peak confrontations with Supreme Ones.
They were all Emperor Lords. Few things in the world attracted them anymore; what they hoped for more was to advance a step further, becoming eternal Supreme Ones.
Similarly, Supreme-level power was also what they craved.
Clearly, this Primordial Heaven Realm was an ultimate treasure that made them feel burning desire.
Sensing the three's burning gazes, Ye Chen smiled faintly, murmuring softly to himself, "Alien race, are you coveting the Primordial Heaven Realm origin power I control?"
"Very well. Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you."
With a loud laugh, Ye Chen actively stepped forward.
