The Supreme Possession Bodies and others all inwardly sighed. Although they had long known, only when truly facing him did they realize that the Battle Saint King was not merely a Monarch, but a terrifying figure who had achieved Monarch through his physical body. He was more immortal, more enduring, and more troublesome than an ordinary Monarch.
Even though they, as a wisp of Supreme Soul from Ancient Great Emperors or Supreme Immortals descending to possess bodies, had cultivated both form and spirit to the level of Ancient Path Overlords, they understood that no matter what methods they employed, they were absolutely no match for this Battle Saint King.
Upon reaching the Monarch level, one was already elevated to another level entirely. The so-called Ancient Sovereigns were no match at all.
Of course, the Eternal Sovereign was an exception.
However, Eternal Sovereigns were far rarer than Eternal Monarchs.
If one could say that an Eternal Monarch could basically be born once or twice in an epoch, then an Eternal Sovereign could only be said to appear perhaps once in several epochs.
The previous epoch was the Mythical Epoch, and the Eternal Sovereign was Qin Wuxiang!
As for Eternal Quasi-Sovereigns, they were even more ethereal legends.
However, the true bodies of these Supreme Possession Bodies were not on the Origin Ancient Path, so they were unaware that two Eternal Quasi-Sovereigns had appeared in the current era.
One was Di Yongheng!
The other was Ye Chen!
Ye Chen's Monarch might enveloped everyone within the Emperor Radiance Passage. Of course, he saw Huang Yao, Huang Di, and the Heaven-Defying Battle King, all from the Pangu Universe side, so he showed them some consideration and did not let them bear his Monarch's pressure.
Seeing their shocked gazes, he smiled slightly but offered no explanation, allowing the three to soar up and enter the Colossus Secret Realm.
As for the rest.
Heh!
Boom—
His fist descended. One hundred and eight divine light heavenly dragons flew out. The fist contained a wisp of Monarch might, falling like a blanket, striking all Ancient Path Overlords, Supreme Possession Bodies, and veteran Ancient Sovereigns.
In an instant, all Sovereign-level enemies were sent flying, vomiting blood as they fell.
Immediately after, their bodies shattered, exploding within the Emperor Radiance Passage, their flesh and Sovereign Heavenly Souls torn to pieces.
Subsequently, their incredibly powerful life force allowed their forms and spirits to reassemble.
However, each one's origin had suffered terrible damage!
Their faces pale, they looked at Ye Chen with horror.
Even the Supreme Possession Bodies and others had silent eyes, inwardly sighing.
Each wave pushes the wave before it; each generation surpasses the last.
This was no longer their era.
Ye Chen indifferently swept a glance over these people. Shattering their forms and spirits once was merely a lesson.
If they dared to clamor or challenge his majesty again, he would kill them all, without exception!
Tai Yi and the others all left the Emperor Radiance Passage, none daring to follow further.
They could only smile bitterly in resignation. With the Battle Saint King being a Monarch, even if they all went together, they were absolutely no match. Now, they could only retreat and watch helplessly as the Battle Saint King and the other three gradually vanished into the Colossus Secret Realm.
In truth, a sliver of hope still lingered in their hearts.
Once the Battle Saint King entered, they would charge in.
After all, the final Supreme Divine Crown and the Colossus Secret Realm were far too tempting.
However, just before entering, a light flickered between Ye Chen's brows. His Great Emperor Reincarnation Body stepped out, wisps of Supreme might dispersing from its body, driving away all pulling forces. Sitting cross-legged at the passage entrance, its face resembling that of a seven-year-old boy, it spoke softly, its gaze utterly cold and ruthless: "I am the Saint Monarch Ruler Body. Let me tell you something—I am also a Monarch. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
"However, that earlier was a warning. Now, if you dare challenge my majesty again, death is certain!"
In that instant, everyone's faces darkened. They clenched their fists, only to helplessly loosen them...
Swish—
Ye Chen, Huang Yao, Huang Di, and the Heaven-Defying Battle King entered the Colossus Secret Realm.
The Colossus Secret Realm was different from previous Supreme Secret Realms. As far as the eye could see, it was essentially a thick expanse of chaotic light. Within it were many worlds and heavens and earths in the process of gestation, as well as suns, moons, and stars amidst the chaos.
This majestic world, comparable to a Chaos Primordial Great World, had not yet fully gestated. It was still in the process of formation, in a juvenile state—no, more accurately, in an embryonic stage.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't even a world yet, merely a world embryo.
Even someone as experienced as Ye Chen felt his eyes flicker, a trace of surprise rising within him.
This Colossus Secret Realm world seemed not as simple as just being a Chaos Primordial Great World.
He had a feeling that the Colossus Secret Realm seemed to possess an even more astonishing origin.
At this moment, the Heaven-Defying Battle King spoke, his gaze solemn. "If I'm not mistaken, this Colossus Secret Realm world might be a Divine Realm in the process of gestation!"
A Divine Realm!?
The other three were startled, Ye Chen included. Although his cultivation was profound, having reached the Physical Body Monarch realm, some aspects were not guaranteed by strength alone—they required knowledge.
He was ultimately too young, having cultivated for only a little over a thousand years.
Moreover, most of that time was spent in cultivation. Therefore, his breadth of knowledge fell short of other Monarchs, even some Ancient Sovereigns.
The Heaven-Defying Battle King, inheriting from the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord lineage, hailed from another Chaos Ancient Universe. More importantly, he came from an Imperial Clan, an absolute core figure no less than an Imperial Son, and thus knew much more.
The Heaven-Defying Battle King said, "Indeed, a Divine Realm. It also goes by names like Upper Realm, Heavenly Realm, and so on—what your Pangu Universe calls the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, the Ancient Divine World!"
The three immediately understood and were shocked. The Colossus Secret Realm was actually an Upper Realm.
Strictly speaking, an embryo of one.
But even so, it was shocking enough.
How vast was an Upper Realm? Like the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, encompassing countless great domains—boundless, expansive, and unimaginable.
The Ancient Divine World of the Mythical Epoch was even more unimaginably enormous.
Ye Chen still remembered that just the Ancient Heavenly Realm, less than one-tenth the size of the former Ancient Divine World, was comparable to the territory of over a thousand great domains.
One could imagine that an Upper Realm embryo, if truly allowed to grow, would be countless times larger than a Chaos Primordial Great World.
But how could an Upper Realm embryo become a Colossus Secret Realm and appear here?
Generally, such an Upper Realm embryo would be coveted even by colossi from antiquity. If refined and fused into one's own origin world, the world power one could command would increase by hundreds of times.
Although, at the level of colossi from antiquity, origin worlds were optional and could even be detached—like Tai Sheng Huang, who placed the Tai Sheng Huang Realm within the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
But Upper Realms were different from Imperial Realms, colossus great worlds, and Chaos Primordial Great Worlds.
It must be noted that the Ancient Heavenly Realm, merely one-tenth the size of the former Ancient Divine World, gave rise to a Heavenly Dao Sun whose power was no less than that of a Supreme Great Emperor, perhaps even greater.
How powerful was the origin force of a complete Upper Realm?
It was said that the total power contained within a fully grown Upper Realm was no less than that of a single colossus from antiquity!
