The Grand Universe, Sun Heaven Hall.

At this moment, the expressions of the three True Monarchs of Sun Heaven Hall drastically changed as they looked at the group of True Monarchs and numerous Heavenly Monarchs gathered outside the palace's grand formation.

"What is the meaning of this?" True Monarch Sundragon asked.

The ones surrounding Sun Heaven Hall were none other than the powerful figures from the Immortal Gate, one of the top forces.

The Immortal Gate was a great power comparable to the Void Sky Hall, possessing dozens of True Monarchs. In contrast, Sun Heaven Hall was much weaker, with only three True Monarchs. Aside from True Monarch Sundragon, the other two were practically useless, even inferior to the top Half-Step True Spirit Realm experts of the Immortal Gate.

Because of True Monarch Sundragon's presence, Sun Heaven Hall had claimed a vast territory, and its lands were not far from the Immortal Gate's domain. Thus, the Immortal Gate had set its sights on their land.

More importantly, Sun Heaven Hall lacked a strong backer. They didn't have a Dao Ancestor or even a top-tier True Ancestor, only a mediocre True Ancestor of mid-to-low strength.

Such a force had no real qualifications to establish a true nation and had no choice but to be annexed.

"True Monarch Dragon Suppressor, if the Immortal Gate dares to destroy us, are you not afraid of offending True Ancestor Solar Sky? Although True Ancestor Solar Sky may not be as powerful as the Immortal Gate, he is not someone you can afford to provoke!"

True Monarch Sundragon tried to invoke the name of True Ancestor Solar Sky to save the current predicament of Sun Heaven Hall.

Although he had pledged allegiance to Ye Tian, he was, after all, still the one in charge of Sun Heaven Hall in the Grand Universe. He had strong feelings for the palace and didn't want to see it fall.

"Hahaha! You mean that… pathetic True Ancestor, True Ancestor Solar Sky? Our Immortal Gate has countless True Ancestors like him. We could send out any one of our stronger True Ancestors, and they could destroy your Sun Heaven Hall in the Chaos Realm. Using True Ancestor Solar Sky to threaten me is nothing short of suicidal!" True Monarch Dragon Suppressor said angrily.

"Attack!"

He no longer gave Sun Heaven Hall any chance, preparing to destroy it completely and send people to take over its territory.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of attacks rained down, and the grand formation of Sun Heaven Hall quickly began to crack.

At this moment, the other two True Monarchs of Sun Heaven Hall and many Heavenly Monarchs were filled with panic. Some even started begging for mercy.

"True Monarch Sundragon, this is all your fault! If you had surrendered earlier, we wouldn't be in this situation!" One of the three True Monarchs pointed at True Monarch Sundragon and cursed.

The others also began blaming True Monarch Sundragon, accusing him of cutting off their last hope. Now, the Immortal Gate wouldn't even give them a chance to beg for mercy, and no matter how much they pleaded, it was all useless.

"You all…"

True Monarch Sundragon felt deep disappointment toward the people of Sun Heaven Hall. They had no backbone, no courage to resist, and now they were shifting all the blame onto him.

"Perhaps I should have left Sun Heaven Hall earlier. I wonder if my master can arrive in time." True Monarch Sundragon murmured in his heart.

He had already sent a message to the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, but if Ye Tian was in deep seclusion, he might not receive it in time. Meanwhile, the Immortal Gate was about to break through the grand formation.

Once the formation was shattered, with the current state of Sun Heaven Hall, they wouldn't be able to resist and would be annihilated in an instant.

Crack! The grand formation was about to completely collapse, and an aura of despair permeated Sun Heaven Hall.

Amid the cheers of the Immortal Gate's forces, the grand formation of Sun Heaven Hall finally shattered, exposing the Heavenly Monarchs and True Monarchs of Sun Heaven Hall to the powerhouses of the Immortal Gate.

"Kill them all!" True Monarch Dragon Suppressor commanded.

Boom! Terrifying attacks rained down, and endless light enveloped everything in Sun Heaven Hall.

At this moment, True Monarch Sundragon gave up resisting, closing his eyes, retracting his divine sense into his soul sea, and prepared to welcome death without a shred of defiance.

Ahhhh! The countless Heavenly Monarchs, Half-Step True Spirits, and True Monarchs of Sun Heaven Hall screamed as they were all disintegrated one by one, unable to withstand the attacks of the Immortal Gate.

However, True Monarch Sundragon found himself still alive, without even the slightest sensation of pain.

Surprised, he opened his eyes and extended his divine sense outward.

"At this moment…" True Monarch Sundragon was in shock.

Almost everyone in Sun Heaven Hall had been wiped out, leaving him as the sole survivor.

The reason he wasn't dead wasn't because the Immortal Gate had spared him, but because someone had appeared in front of him, shielding him.

"Master!" True Monarch Sundragon bent over respectfully.

The person standing before him was none other than his master—the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian!

"Step aside for now," Ye Tian said calmly.

"Yes!" True Monarch Sundragon nodded.

The Immortal Gate forces ceased their attack, and True Monarch Dragon Suppressor stared grimly at Ye Tian, asking, "Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, what brings you here?"

Ye Tian, with his hands behind his back and an enigmatic demeanor, replied, "The Sun Heaven Hall is under my protection!"

"Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, what do you mean by this? Your Void Sky Hall is far from here. Do you really intend to cross regions to occupy this place? There's no benefit to that. Even if your true nation expands, it's impossible to include this area. Forcing the Void Sky Hall to take over here seems rather unreasonable, don't you think?" True Monarch Dragon Suppressor quickly spoke up.

If it had been anyone else, Dragon Suppressor would've attacked without hesitation. But the man standing in front of him was the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, the fearsome figure who had nearly wiped out the Demon Sound Sect single-handedly.

If not for the appearance of the Dao Ancestor of the Demon Sound Sect, the sect in the Grand Universe would have been obliterated long ago.

Although the Immortal Gate had its own trump cards and believed there was a chance to eliminate Ye Tian, they didn't dare to mobilize their entire sect to kill him.

Moreover, the people Dragon Suppressor had brought here were absolutely no match for Ye Tian, and there was a real possibility that none of them would even be able to escape.

Thus, he had to endure.

"Sun Heaven Hall has long been a secret subordinate of the Void Sky Hall, and True Monarch Sundragon is one of my subordinates. This territory rightfully belongs to the Void Sky Hall. Are you suggesting I can't protect my own land?" Ye Tian said coldly.

"This…" True Monarch Dragon Suppressor hesitated.

Earlier, True Monarch Sundragon had addressed Ye Tian as "Master," making it clear that he truly was one of Ye Tian's subordinates.

But Sun Heaven Hall definitely hadn't shown any signs of being under Ye Tian's influence. Otherwise, the people of Sun Heaven Hall could have mentioned Ye Tian, and the Immortal Gate wouldn't have dared to kill them. Moreover, Ye Tian hadn't saved anyone else from Sun Heaven Hall.

Now, however, those people were dead, leaving no evidence to prove otherwise.

"If you don't retreat now, then no one will leave!"

Ye Tian's killing intent surged, and a terrifying aura spread, as if it was about to freeze this entire space and time.

"Hurry, retreat!"

True Monarch Dragon Suppressor was terrified, immediately ordering the Immortal Gate forces to withdraw. If they didn't retreat, they truly wouldn't be able to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Gate forces retreated swiftly.

"Sundragon, quickly gather your loyal followers and prepare to leave Sun Heaven Hall.

As for this territory, I can't protect it at all times. I'll look for an opportunity to negotiate with a major power to trade this area for a smaller territory near the Void Sky Hall.

That way, even if there are some losses, they won't be too great."

Ye Tian instructed.

"Yes, Master!" True Monarch Sundragon nodded.
