According to records from some ancient Sacred Lands, in the Primordial Times about a million years ago, three invincible alien race Demon Sovereigns were born and descended upon the myriad realms. Each was comparable to a Primordial Sovereign, suppressing the world and intimidating the entire Primordial era, unmatched by anyone, causing countless lives to be lost.
At that time, it happened to be the transition period between two Sovereigns—the old Sovereign abdicated, and the new Sovereign ascended.
The abdicated old Sovereign disappeared without a trace, vanishing completely from the world. Although the newly ascended Human Sovereign was powerful and could wield the Myriad Domains' most formidable heritage power, he had just become Sovereign and had not yet fully mastered that heritage power. He confronted the alien race Demon Sovereigns for a full thousand years.
The world has always known that each generation's Human Sovereign is invincible across past, present, and future, presiding over the rise and fall of the Myriad Domains, infinitely close to the mythical Emperors and Sovereigns. However, few know that when a Human Sovereign ascends, they require a long period to adapt to the heritage power; it is not an instantaneous leap.
The period immediately after ascension is the most difficult.
The alien race Demon Sovereigns appeared and chose this exact moment to launch their invasion.
That was a bloody era. The three alien race Demon Sovereigns rampaged across the world, acting without restraint. The earth shattered, and countless Sacred Lands were destroyed. Rivers of blood flowed, mountains of corpses piled up.
Moreover, the alien army remnants from the previous epoch that remained in this universe also appeared. Although far from comparable to the vast army that shattered the Mythical Era, they were terrifying enough to run rampant across the myriad realms.
That era could almost be called the darkest era of turmoil in this epoch's history. Countless factions were wiped out, numerous legacies perished, and even some Emperor and Sovereign clans were nearly destroyed, suffering heavy losses.
Even the most prosperous center of the Myriad Domains became a river of blood, scarred and devastated, with lives lost and true light difficult to see.
It can be said that the new Human Sovereign's ascension period was exceptionally difficult, more arduous than that of any other Human Sovereign throughout history.
Although he was already a Sovereign of his generation and very powerful, he was not yet the true supreme Human Sovereign, not having fully mastered the heritage power, and thus unable to suppress and kill them decisively.
The new Human Sovereign once left the immortal and indestructible Human Sovereign Heavenly Palace, confronting the three alien race Demon Sovereigns alone. Risking his own fall, he forced them from the Myriad Domains into the vast starry sky, preventing them from wreaking havoc in the Myriad Domains.
Great Powers from generation after generation also emerged, cooperating with the Human Sovereign to resist them. Countless experts swarmed forth to hold back the alien army.
It can be said that this epoch nearly perished during that era.
Later, fortunately, that Primordial Human Sovereign endured, completely mastering the heritage power and reaching the realm closest to the mythical Emperors and Sovereigns, truly becoming invincible across past, present, and future. He then launched the most ruthless extermination, pursuing them through heaven and earth, hunting across the myriad realms, and slaying all three alien race Demon Sovereigns.
Regarding the Human Sovereign's peerless achievements, the world often remembers more their matchless prowess, their suppression of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, their overlooking of the myriad realms' rise and fall. Few know that even beings as powerful as them were not invincible from the very beginning. They too had difficult times, enemies they had to risk their lives and face the danger of falling to block.
Time always fades and erases many things.
The Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain is precisely the place where one of those alien race Demon Sovereigns fell, directly suppressed and killed, body and spirit annihilated, leaving not a shred of life force.
The thousands of li of black land within the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain were stained pitch black by that alien Sovereign's demonic blood, and it possesses that malevolent aura.
There have always been rumors that that alien Sovereign never truly perished, but lies hidden in the deepest part of this Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, draining the life force of all who enter, all for the chance to revive.
Therefore, Ye Chen was wary, and even the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was filled with shock, urgently saying, "Little Yue, why did you come to a place like this for no reason? Hurry and leave. Otherwise, even beings as powerful as us won't be able to stop the loss of life force within our bodies. This area is truly malevolent. In ancient times, there were even Great Powers who entered this area, attempting to refine the alien Demon Sovereign's essence blood, but for some unknown reason, they fell within."
Hearing such a secret, Ye Chen grew even more wary. The power of faith within the World Seed in his body was ready to emerge at any moment. Moreover, a portal had already opened within his body, connecting to the Ancient Blue World. He could mobilize vast World Power at any time. Although far inferior to being within the Ancient Blue World itself, it was still sufficiently powerful.
"Who are you? Where are they?" Ye Chen asked solemnly, addressing the figure still ten li away. If he wished, he could cross those ten li in an instant.
But this Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain was too malevolent, forcing him to be cautious.
Moreover, as he ventured deeper into the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, the golden Saint Blood within his body began to quietly boil.
The Battle Saint lineage was among the strongest lineages that fought against the alien army in the Mythical Era. Naturally, there was a blood feud with the alien race contained within their blood, impossible to sever.
Furthermore, within his body, the bronze great halberd, Primordial Battle Body, began to tremble and hum softly.
This was the immortal ancient weapon passed down through the Battle Saint lineage. It had once accompanied his master, the Battle Great Power, in his campaigns and was extremely sensitive to such malevolence.
But for some reason, he sensed a special aura within the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, attracting him to enter. It was very peculiar.
The other party choosing this life-forbidden land made him feel suspicious and alarmed; there must be an ulterior purpose.
"Battle Saint King, as the inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage, you should also know what this place truly is," the person who brought him here countered with a question instead of answering.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ye Chen strode forward, his gaze blazing many times brighter, like two scorching suns hanging in the sky, dazzling and piercing, making it hard for others to look directly.
"Many people know that in ancient times, a peerless alien Demon Sovereign fell on this land, its demonic blood staining thousands of li, giving birth to the vast Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain. But few know that an ancient Great Power also fell here. Back then, he desperately delayed that alien Demon Sovereign, allowing the Primordial Human Sovereign to catch up and execute the ultimate suppression." That person spoke slowly.
Ye Chen listened intently. Even the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor shook its head. These were secrets from the Primordial Times, too ancient to be known.
"What exactly are you trying to say? Speak. Where are they?"
Ye Chen was already pressing forward, and from his body, a vast, heaven-shaking Dao might gradually unfurled, pressing down on the firmament as he advanced.
There was a clear tendency to attack directly if words failed.
"Battle Saint King, do you want to kill me?" That person sneered, icy and cold, like a sinister ghost cackling.
"Little Yue, be careful. I sense some kind of trap here," the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor suddenly spoke. As a variant True Spirit, its senses were incredibly sharp.
Boom—
Ye Chen attacked. The Mountain Embracing Seal directly manifested, tearing through the firmament as he hurled it toward that figure.
But suddenly, vast networks of Dao pattern runes appeared in this void, interweaving to form a heavenly net that completely covered this stretch of sky, encompassing a radius of ten li, trapping Ye Chen within.
The divine mountain manifested by the Mountain Embracing Seal was blocked, actually unable to break through.
All of this made Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor's hearts sink. The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor even started cursing, "His dragon grandpa! I knew there must be some trap set up here. Sure enough, it's like this. Little Yue, this grandpa is going to be killed because of you."
"Battle Saint King, I don't know whether to call you overly arrogant or foolish. You actually really came."
A slender figure stepped forth from the void, landing on a mountain peak, looking down at Ye Chen, uttering icy and disdainful words.
Ye Chen remained motionless, his gaze suddenly leaping with brilliant golden Saint Flames that pierced through all falsehood, revealing this person's true face—it was actually Zhao Wudao.
This Crown Prince of the Immortal Empire Zhao, whom Ye Chen had defeated repeatedly, had actually come.
"Excellent. The Battle Saint King delivering himself to our doorstep perfectly suits our intentions, doesn't it?" Another figure also manifested—it was none other than Canglan Holy Son.
"Hahahaha... The Battle Saint King is invincible among his generation. Four years ago, the four of us semi-Saint Kingsjoined forces couldn't deal with him and were defeated. But this time, I wonder if the Battle Saint King can defeat all of us."
As these words fell, a third figure appeared—the King from Blood Glow Valley arrived, blood-red hair flowing, his entire body wrapped in layers of strikingly bright blood light, like a Blood God.
"Gah gah gah—" A piercing, strange laugh sounded. A withered figure manifested, stopping on a distant black great peak a full ten li away from Ye Chen, looking at him from afar while cackling strangely. "As expected of the Battle Saint King, actually daring to come. It saves us some trouble."
Figures manifested one after another between heaven and earth. Not just one or two, nor three or four. The number had long exceeded twenty. Half were from the younger generation, but there were also older-generation super experts present.
Aside from those King-level figures of the younger generation, the older generation were at least super experts at the Saint Concealment realm, and among them were even Overlord-level existences.
More than twenty people, forming an encirclement, completely trapped Ye Chen within, making it difficult for him to escape.
"Zhao Kingdom, Xia Kingdom, Blood Glow Valley, Canglan Sacred Land, Cang Clan..." Ye Chen's gaze swept over these appearing experts. They all came from one supreme Immortal power after another, and even traces of supreme Sacred Lands were present.
Even he couldn't help but feel a slight shock. These were all hishostile factions, ones he had offended before. He hadn't expected them to unite, with experts from both the younger and older generations appearing.
"You all really think highly of me..." Ye Chen stood firm in the void, his gaze sweeping over each of these experts. His expression seemed somewhat gloomy, and he also felt a pressure.
Even the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor couldn't help but grab a strand of Ye Chen's hair, seeming somewhat nervous and on the verge of tears. "Little Yue, where did you manage to provoke so many great enemies?"
