Deep within the distant starry sky, in an extremely ancient star domain, existed a majestic giant star with a diameter exceeding ten million li. It was suffused with a supreme aura of the Great Dao, and faintly, it seemed as if a Supreme One's aura was soaring into the heavens.
This was not an Emperor Star, but in ancient times, an ancient Great Emperor had descended upon it and remained for a considerable period. Over the long ages, this star had received the descent of the Emperor's Dao, imprinting upon it a portion of the Supreme Emperor's Dao.
Upon the ancient star stood a tomb far larger than any mountain range, its tombstone like a heavenly stele reaching for the sky.
This was an absolute forbidden land on the ancient star. Even if there were Quasi-Sovereign level existences on the star, they would never dare to set foot here. All of this was due to the protection of a supremely powerful family. This family had an Ancient Monarch standing guard, leading the entire clan in protecting this tomb throughout the ages.
It was said this tomb was extraordinary. In ancient times, it was the burial ground of a supreme Star Sky Overlord. That Star Sky Overlord had a significant origin, rumored to have once followed an ancient Great Emperor.
The Sovereign family were descendants of this Star Sky Overlord and had always been guarding it.
On this day, the tomb suddenly erupted with boundless radiance. Beyond the ancient star, stars were drawn in one after another. Boundless stellar brilliance poured into the tomb like divine rain, supremely holy and dazzling.
Within the Sovereign family, a hereditary Sovereign War Weapon spontaneously revived, releasing a supreme might that shook the entire ancient star, causing billions of living beings to tremble. Even the stationed Ancient Monarch was directly jolted awake.
For that was the legendary peerless War Weapon of that Star Sky Overlord. In ancient times, it had slaughtered multiple Ancient Monarchs, stained with their blood and life imprints, making it exceptionally powerful.
Even a powerful Ancient Monarch like him shuddered.
Seeing the various phenomena at the tomb, he couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "The Ancestor is about to revive!"
Boom—
The tomb, larger than a mountain range, directly exploded. Within, a very young figure suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out beams of light that illuminated a vast expanse of the cosmic starry sky, as if a thunderclap from eternity had fallen.
Beyond the domain, the brilliance of infinite stars was all drawn here. Even the light from multiple suns in nearby star domains was forcibly devoured, all pouring into this god-like young man.
Finally, the young man stood up tall, suspended in the Ninth Heaven, overlooking the ancient star.
"We pay our respects to the Ancestor!"
From within the Sovereign family, the Ancient Monarch soared into the sky, kneeling and prostrating below the young man, bowing his head in submission with reverence and fervor.
The young man had black hair like a waterfall and was exceedingly handsome. One eye seemed to hold a leaping great sun, the other a falling blood moon, manifesting the sun and moon, marking him as extraordinary.
He looked at this white-haired Ancient Monarch and nodded slightly, able to sense the various aspects within the latter's body—this was his descendant's bloodline.
To become an Ancient Monarch was already quite good.
Unfortunately, it was only at the second heaven of Sovereign. In the eyes of the world, this was lofty and exalted, but to someone like him, a Star Sky Overlord who had once followed an ancient Great Emperor, it was merely ordinary, not particularly stunning.
"How long have I been asleep?"
The young man addressed as Ancestor spoke. He appeared very young, but in truth, his years were great, and his slumber had been long enough that his actual age far exceeded that of this white-haired Ancient Monarch.
The white-haired Sovereign spoke, informing him of the current era.
"I didn't expect to have slept for so long." The Ancestor youth nodded slightly, then frowned. "Just now, I sensed Old Eighth's aura vanish. That wasn't simple slumber, but being killed. In this era, there are still those who dare to strike against us, the Nine Great Emperor Envoys?"
As he spoke, his voice was like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, containing inconceivable power that exploded above the ancient star, preventing the myriad Daos from approaching, terrifyingly boundless.
Not to mention others, even this descendant Sovereign found it difficult to endure.
The Ancestor's strength far exceeded imagination.
For he understood better than anyone the Ancestor's true origin: he was one of the Emperor Envoys of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor who once dominated the boundless cosmos, a Star Sky Overlord level existence. In that extremely distant era, he had even slain multiple Ancient Monarchs, among them not lacking Star Sky Overlords, possessing world-shaking, peerless combat power.
It was only because the Heaven Soul Great Emperor suddenly perished in ancient times that the Ancestor chose to slumber, passing through endless years. He never expected to emerge so suddenly in this era.
Similarly, he was also immensely shocked by the so-called killing of Old Eighth mentioned by the Ancestor.
He knew many secrets. The Ancestor, together with eight other supremely powerful Sovereigns in ancient times, became followers of that supreme Great Emperor, known as the Nine Great Emperor Envoys.
Old Eighth was the Eighth Emperor Envoy.
It must be known that each Emperor Envoy was an Overlord among Ancient Monarchs, supremely powerful and invincible. In any era, they were absolute Overlord existences, capable of dominating the starry sky for an age.
Now, the Star Sky Overlord who was the Eighth Emperor Envoy had actually fallen, been killed. Who on earth could have done it?
Generally speaking, even if someone had the power to kill the Eighth Emperor Envoy, they should not dare to act. Because the Nine Great Emperor Envoys were as close as brothers. Daring to strike against any one of them was equivalent to making an enemy of all Nine Emperor Envoys—an absolutely unwise move that even a Star Sky Overlord would never dare to make.
In ancient times, during the era when that ancient Great Emperor proved his Dao and became Emperor, there was once a Star Sky Overlord who acted thus, angering one, causing the other Emperor Envoys to join forces.
Moreover, because of this, a ninth heaven Sovereign was killed by the Nine Emperor Envoys, an event that shook multiple eras.
Suddenly, the descendant Sovereign thought of a person, one shrouded in chaos, forceful and domineering. Perhaps it was that person who was so forceful!
The white-haired Sovereign said, "Ancestor, I might know who did it."
"Oh? You actually know?"
The white-haired Sovereign nodded. "The Battle Saint King!"
He proactively informed him of some information known in the current era, especially about the Battle Saint King, who had killed a supreme Dao body of the Forbidden Heaven Sovereign comparable to a ninth heaven Sovereign, and also awakened the Ice Flame Monarch, the Forbidden Weapon No. 5 of the Soul-Restraining Hall.
It was said that Forbidden Weapons No. 3 and No. 4 had also been suppressed.
"Battle Saint King? I've never heard of this name in ancient times. He's actually the strongest genius of this era, growing to this level in just a thousand years, capable of suppressing Star Sky Overlords?" The Ancestor youth frowned. Such a person was absolutely terrifying.
His growth speed was too fast. In just a thousand years, he had become a Star Sky Overlord, and an absolute powerhouse among them, capable of killing the Eighth Emperor Envoy. He was definitely not simple.
"This person seriously interferes with the implementation of the Great Emperor's ancient plan. Moreover, he is a chaos cultivator who has also reached the Star Sky Overlord level. If he can be captured, he might indeed fit the Great Emperor's plan, perhaps even allowing it to be greatly accelerated."
"Very well. Today, I, the Second Emperor Envoy, shall personally take action and capture this Battle Saint King!"
Hearing this, the descendant Sovereign sighed with pity for the Battle Saint King.
With the Second Emperor Envoy Ancestor taking action, even if the Battle Saint King could suppress and kill ordinary Star Sky Overlords, he would certainly be no match, doomed to fall.
