On the Ancient Emperor Dao Platform, Ye Chen stood tall, looking down upon the various Ancient Path Overlords. With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke indifferently, "Now, is there anyone else willing to fight? But this time, I won't hold back much of my strength. Even if some of you are Super Monarchs, I'm confident I can kill you directly within ten moves, not just suppress you."
Dominant!
Absolutely dominant!
But more people felt the invincibility of the Battle Saint King. He dared to claim he could directly kill even an Ancient Path Overlord at the Super Monarch level within ten moves. This showed that during his battle with the Chaos Overlord, he hadn't yet revealed all his strength.
Just how strong was he?
This was the doubt in everyone's heart.
Within the Emperor Heaven Hall, you could hear a pin drop. No one answered.
Clearly, they all acknowledged the Battle Saint King's power and were unwilling to fight him to their deaths.
From then on, Ye Chen was once again invincible across the two great ancient domains, standing atop the Ancient Emperor Dao Platform, revered from all directions. Even the Ancient Path Overlords admitted they were no match for him.
The events within the Emperor Heaven Hall spread to God Emperor City, causing a great commotion, but they made even more young geniuses worship him.
The invincible Battle Saint King had returned, sweeping away everything with an invincible posture, suppressing all enemies from all sides.
Who could contend with him?
Who could oppose him?
Even the Ancient Path Overlords paled in comparison, and the Monarch Possession Bodies fell silent, acknowledging the Battle Saint King's supreme and unrivaled status!
Emperor Heaven Hall.
Ancient Emperor Dao Platform.
Ye Chen stood upon it, not leaving. His gaze swept across the hall. Only those whose eyes met his—the Ancient Path Overlords and Monarch Possession Bodies—could meet his gaze directly, their inner pride not allowing them to lower their heads.
His expression was indifferent, only revealing a faint smile when he looked at Huang Di, the Heaven-Defying Warrior, and Huang Yao.
Then, a vast, immeasurable might spread out, flooding the entire Emperor Heaven Hall, making everyone feel like small boats in a raging storm, ready to capsize at any moment. His voice resounded, echoing in everyone's minds: "Since that's the case, all Supreme Divine Crown bearers, hand over your Supreme Divine Crowns. Otherwise, I will kill you and take them. Don't believe me? Just try."
Above his head, five Supreme Divine Crowns materialized, their radiance flowing, making him appear like a peerless Supreme One, shining with boundless light, incomparable to anyone.
One by one, the Supreme Divine Crown bearers—either Ancient Path Overlords or Monarch Possession Bodies—felt the resonance of the five crowns and responded. Their respective Supreme Divine Crowns flew out, settling atop their heads, cascading down with layers of glorious light.
Yet, even so, Ye Chen remained uniquely supreme, as if the other five Supreme Divine Crown bearers regarded him as their sovereign.
"Hand them over, and I won't fight. Otherwise, I won't show mercy. The Yuanchu Imperial Son is the best example," Ye Chen said, expressionless and peerlessly majestic, looking at the Supreme Divine Crown bearers: Silver Moon Monarch, Great Sage Immortal Prince, Heaven's Secret Master, and Tai Yi.
All four were within the range of the fourth or fifth heaven of Ancient Monarchs—powerful, but compared to Ye Chen, there was a vast, heaven-and-earth difference.
Under Ye Chen's gaze, even a Monarch Possession Body like Silver Moon Monarch knew he was no match. As a Supreme Great Emperor, he was more familiar than anyone with the fluctuations from Ye Chen's battle against the wisp of Emperor soul from the Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor.
Monarch!
Below a Great Emperor, a Monarch was invincible!
The four Supreme Divine Crown bearers wore ugly expressions, but facing the absolutely invincible Battle Saint King, they were helpless.
How could they resist?
How could they contend?
But the Supreme Divine Crowns were their greatest advantage in competing for the "Ultimate Supreme" immortal fate. Once lost, it meant they would have no qualification to compete. How could they give them up?
The other Ancient Path Overlords and Monarch Possession Bodies also looked at Ye Chen atop the Ancient Emperor Dao Platform with complex expressions. There was a time when even they would never dare to be so arrogant, demanding other Ancient Path Overlords or Monarch Possession Bodies hand over the Supreme Divine Crowns they had obtained.
But it was clear that the Battle Saint King possessed such qualification.
His cultivation, transcending even Super Monarchs, was an overwhelming advantage. Who could contend with him?
Who could match him?
But asking the four Supreme Divine Crown bearers to hand over their crowns was easier said than done.
No one was willing to give them up for nothing.
Especially a Monarch Possession Body like Silver Moon Monarch, who was controlled by the Emperor soul of an ancient Great Emperor, feared nothing. He said coldly, "Battle Saint King, you only dare to speak like this. If you were facing my true self, would you dare to speak this way?"
Ye Chen said indifferently, "I know your true self is an ancient Great Emperor. But you must also understand one thing: not to mention you, a mere Monarch Possession Body, even if your true self, an ancient Great Emperor, were to come here, it would be the same. I fear none of them."
What of a Great Emperor?
He had faced them before, even fought them. Even a colossus from antiquity held no fear for him, let alone a mere Monarch Possession Body.
Boom—
With a thunderous sound, Ye Chen suddenly moved, instantly teleporting before Silver Moon Monarch. With a simple raise and fall of his hand—just a slap—Silver Moon Monarch, despite possessing astonishing abilities comparable to an Ancient Path Overlord, was still utterlynot worth a single blow / utterly weak before Ye Chen.
Silver Moon Monarch exploded. The various extraordinary abilities belonging to a Supreme Great Emperor couldn't even be displayed because the gap between them was too vast. Ancient Great Emperors weren't omnipotent, nor were they invincible.
At this moment, Ye Chen displayed the terrifying combat power of a peak Monarch. Even a powerful Ancient Path Overlord-level existence like Silver Moon Monarch was nothing more thannot worth a single blow / utterly weak before him. With just a simple strike, he was shattered into pieces, turning into a mist of blood.
Subsequently, Ye Chen displayed the supreme power of a physical-body Monarch, controlling this space. Pure physical strength manifested, forcefully shattering Sovereign rules and blasting apart the Sovereign heavenly soul refined from Silver Moon Monarch's wisp of Emperor soul. Unstoppable.
In an instant, a generation of Monarch Possession Body—Silver Moon Monarch—fell!
Ye Chen grabbed that Supreme Divine Crown.
The sixth Supreme Divine Crown fell into Ye Chen's hands.
The world fell silent!
The Great Sage Immortal Prince, Heaven's Secret Master, and Tai Yi all revealed bitter smiles.
Too invincible. Even Heaven's Secret Master, that unfathomable Ancient Path Overlord who could perceive all Heavenly Secrets, felt that he was far from being a match for the Battle Saint King and couldn't see through him either.
A chaos cultivator could obscure everything. Even in his current state, he couldn't see through him.
Ye Chen looked at Heaven's Secret Master. In his eyes, this Heaven's Secret Master was the most unfathomable, mastering the Dao of Heavenly Secrets, able to shield his own heavenly secrets. Outsiders found it difficult to truly see through his real realm, generally thinking he stood at the fourth heaven of Sovereigns like the other Ancient Path Overlords.
However, Ye Chen's realm was sufficiently profound, able to penetrate everything. He had already discerned Heaven's Secret Master's true realm—the seventh heaven of Sovereigns!
That's right, this was a genuine Super Monarch. His strength was far greater than even the Chaos Overlord's.
After all, the gap between a sixth-heaven Sovereign and a seventh-heaven Sovereign was fourfold!
Back then, the Chaos Overlord had only forcibly elevated himself to the Super Monarch level of the seventh heaven by refining the Chaos Immortal Bell.
But Heaven's Secret Master didn't need that; his true strength had reached this step.
Yet, even so, Heaven's Secret Master was nothing special in Ye Chen's eyes. So-called Super Monarchs, even if they were Ancient Monarchs promoted from Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs and were a cut stronger at the same level, were still not a match for Ye Chen, a Monarch achieved through physical body cultivation, even for a single move.
Heaven's Secret Master smiled bitterly. How could he not know that the Battle Saint King could see through all his secrets, knowing his true realm?
He could only say, "I am willing to hand over the Supreme Divine Crown."
As he spoke, a radiant Supreme Divine Crown flew out, shooting toward Ye Chen.
