Beside him, the Ice-Fire Monarch stared at him in shock, for the speed Ye Chen had just displayed had truly shaken his soul to its core.
That level of speed was simply unattainable, far surpassing that of any Sovereign.
He looked at the ten Immortal King Feather Swords behind Ye Chen, which resembled holy wings. As expected, it was because of these ten wings. What exactly were they? Could they be the immortal wings of a Supreme Immortal?
His gaze swept across the void splattered with bloody light. Ye Chen's eyes shifted, carrying a trace of apology. "My apologies, I was somewhat late."
"Primordial Beginning!"
A majestic voice exploded in the starry sky out of thin air. Immediately, everything in this region began to reverse and flow backward. Time and space reversed, rewinding.
The Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord's giant claw retraced its trajectory, and the three Ancient Path Divine Kings who had been smashed to pieces reassembled their forms and spirits, returning to their original state.
Everything returned to the moment before the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord had made his move.
Such a method was akin to that of a creator, omnipotent.
The instant time and space returned to normal, the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord immediately retreated, for he sensed an intensely lethal threat emanating from the two figures.
These two could kill him!
"This—"
The powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path were all overjoyed. Even time and space could be reversed. The three Divine Kings who had been killed, their forms and spirits blasted into countless fragments, had been revived during the reversal. Did this not mean that Senior Green-robed Daoist could also be saved?
"Senior, who are you?"
Although the people of the Ultimate Ancient Path knew Ye Chen, after Ye Chen became an Ancient Sovereign, he had undergone a comprehensive transformation. His appearance and temperament had become complete and perfect, so for a moment, they could not recognize his true identity.
Even the seven Ancient Path Divine Kings, at this moment, inquired with considerable respect.
"The Battle Saint King."
Towards the Ultimate Ancient Path, Ye Chen's attitude was very amiable, which shocked, surprised, and delighted the powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
They had originally thought that after the Ultimate Ancient Path went to war with the Soul-Restraining Hall, the Battle Saint King had fled to distant lands, not daring to participate or face the Soul-Restraining Hall. His return now was enough to prove that all the doubts from the past had been swept away!
On the other side, the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord was both shocked and terrified. How could he not know that because of the Battle Saint King, a total of ten Hall Masters of monarch-level had fallen, and even the Fifth Forbidden Weapon had recovered its memories, awakened, and broken free from the Soul-Restraining Hall's control.
The other person beside the Battle Saint King was likely the legendary Fifth Weapon, the former Star Sky Overlord—the Ice-Fire Monarch!
This is bad!
The Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord hurriedly retreated, wanting to leave this place.
"Who gave you the chance to leave before my eyes?"
A cold, indifferent voice, like the pronouncement of the God of Death.
An invisible force traversed the sky, reaching out and grabbing. The Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord, a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, was so weak that he was seized and brought before Ye Chen, completely restrained and unable to move.
Witnessing the Battle Saint King suppress a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch like the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord with a mere gesture, the powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path truly understood the Battle Saint King's peerless methods.
The enemy who had once brought despair to the seven trial ancient passes of the Ultimate Ancient Path now seemed so utterly vulnerable, making people gasp in shock and causing countless Trial Heroes' eyes to burn with fervor.
This was the Battle Saint King, the existence regarded as a goal and idol by countless Trial Heroes of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
The seven Ancient Path Divine Kings also admitted they were far inferior, separated by a vast, heaven-and-earth difference.
After suppressing the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord with one move, Ye Chen applied layer upon layer of seals, reducing him to an ordinary person and tossing him before the seven Ancient Path Divine Kings. "Everyone, this minor Quasi-Monarch is for you to deal with. Perhaps having an Ancient Path Sovereign take action to enslave him might also be a good method."
Hearing this, the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord was extremely terrified and roared, "I am the honorable Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord, a Quasi-Monarch of the Star-Devouring Beast Race! Whoever dares to enslave me is making an enemy of my Star-Devouring Beast Race!"
The several Divine Kings of the Ultimate Ancient Path also showed hesitation. The Star-Devouring Beast Race belonged to the ranks of the supreme races among the Starry Sky Beasts. Born with the ability to devour stars, they were innately powerful. Although the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord was a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, he was not the strongest of the Star-Devouring Beast Race.
Throughout history, the Star-Devouring Beast Race had given birth to several Ancient Sovereigns. One of them even belonged to the category of Star Sky Overlords, capable of devouring the starry sky with a single gulp in the past, with countless star domains hidden within its belly, incomparably powerful.
This also meant that although the Star-Devouring Beast Race was small in number, within the entire Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe, few dared to provoke them.
Boom—
Ye Chen simply slapped him, nearly causing the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord to explode. He was covered in blood, his divine soul severely wounded.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Make an enemy of the Star-Devouring Beast Race? What if I do make an enemy of your race? The question is, does your Star-Devouring Beast Race dare to make an enemy of me?"
In his faint words, he looked down upon the starry sky, fearing nothing.
What Star-Devouring Beast Race? What Star Sky Overlord?
What did he have to fear? If they dared to come, he would suppress them all.
Turning to look at the several Ancient Path Divine Kings, he said with authority, "Tell the Sovereigns of the Ancient Path that enslaving him is fine. If the Star-Devouring Beast Race dares to come for revenge, I, the Battle Saint King, will personally slaughter my way to their doorstep!"
That's right—slaughter his way to their doorstep, not just go to their doorstep!
Who was he? A member of the Battle Saint lineage, known for its dominance and might. Moreover, his divine arts had reached great completion, placing him among the ranks of Star Sky Overlords, a standout among peerless Sovereigns. Any enemy who dared to come would be suppressed.
Countless Trial Heroes, hearing this, felt their eyes shine with dazzling light.
This was the invincible Battle Saint King, the number one of the Ultimate Ancient Path, the truly invincible being who dominated both ancient paths!
"Very well, we shall respectfully follow the Battle Saint King's words!"
The several Ancient Path Divine Kings did not delay, directly accepting the Sun-Extinguishing Star Lord. With the Battle Saint King's words, they had nothing to fear.
They knew that the mysterious man standing beside the Battle Saint King was, as expected, the legendary Ice-Fire Monarch, one of the former Star Sky Overlords, a presence no less formidable than the Star Sky Overlord of the Star-Devouring Beast Race.
"Battle Saint King, you are so powerful and have mastered the Dao of Space-Time. Can you reverse time and bring Senior Green-robed back?"
The several Ancient Path Divine Kings looked at Ye Chen with hope, as did countless Trial Heroes.
For their sake, the Green-robed Daoist had not hesitated to burn his form and spirit, transforming into the Dao and perishing. This left them feeling guilty and hoping he could be revived.
Hearing this, Ye Chen sighed softly. "My apologies!"
The reason he could save the three Ancient Path Divine Kings was not only because Ye Chen had mastered the Space-Time Emperor Technique 'Primordial Beginning,' but also because their bodies and souls had only been blasted into fragments, allowing them to be reassembled through reversal.
But the Green-robed Daoist had reached the end of his lifespan, transforming into the Dao and perishing. This involved the higher-level rules of the Great Dao. Not to mention him, even if a Supreme One came, it would be impossible to bring him back!
Hearing this, everyone on the Ultimate Ancient Path could not help but show sorrow. Such a virtuous and respected senior had fallen just like that, beyond salvation, forever gone. It pained them immensely and made them even more furious at the Soul-Restraining Hall.
One by one, they roared at the sky, ignited their wills, and charged at the powerhouses of the Soul-Restraining Hall.
