TL: Etude

The Trinity Unity Divine Ability was strictly a cultivation-based origin divine ability that united essence, qi, and spirit into one. Ye Tian had been cultivating this origin divine ability all along.

Thanks to its immense power, Ye Tian’s soul and chaos divine force could keep pace with the rapid growth of his physical strength.

Though Ye Tian practiced the Golden Ape Body Refining Technique, which caused his physical strength to skyrocket, it was only a body refining technique. Even though it could somewhat enhance the soul and divine force, it wasn’t a true soul-based or divine force cultivation method. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI★Fire.net

However, with the Trinity Unity, Ye Tian could freely convert essence, qi, and spirit. Thus, increasing his soul strength and divine force became an easy task for him.

Moreover, the Trinity Unity could be used in combat.

For instance, if his physical strength were 10 points, soul strength 6 points, and divine force 7 points, he could activate the Trinity Unity to convert his physical power into soul power.

With this, his soul strength would instantly soar to 16 points. If he further converted his divine force into soul strength, it would reach a staggering 23 points of attack power.

Everyone’s soul was usually the weakest among essence, qi, and spirit—except for rare races that specialized in soul cultivation, in which case their soul would dominate.

The ten True Monarchs before him, however, were not soul-focused. They relied primarily on physical strength and divine force.

Previously, Ye Tian had attacked them using God Annihilator, but they had soul-protecting half-Dao artifacts. Without a vast disparity in soul strength, even a soul-based origin divine ability like God Annihilator couldn’t obliterate their souls entirely.

Yet, if Ye Tian unleashed Trinity Unity to convert his physical strength and divine force into soul power, and then struck with God Annihilator, it would greatly increase his chances of killing one of the True Monarchs.

“That’s the one!”

Ye Tian’s gaze locked onto True Monarch Ironblood of the Blood Moon Sect.

This True Monarch Ironblood only ranked 110th on the True Monarch Rankings, making him far weaker than Ye Tian. But with the aid of wondrous objects, his combat strength was formidable.

Moreover, True Monarch Ironblood had created the origin divine ability Ironblood True Body, granting him exceptional physical defense and survival ability.

However, his soul strength was among the weakest of the ten True Monarchs.

If Ye Tian managed to slay True Monarch Ironblood, the pressure on him would greatly decrease.

“Trinity Unity!”

“God Annihilator!”

“True Monarch Ironblood, die!”

The execution of Trinity Unity and God Annihilator took place in an instant.

In that moment—

The True Monarch Ironblood’s heart trembled as if he sensed the arrival of something terrifying.

Realizing the imminent danger, he tried to evade. However, Ye Tian’s God Annihilator was almost impossible to avoid and nearly ignored all defenses.

Although True Monarch Ironblood’s soul-protecting half-Dao artifact blocked 80% of the attack, the remaining 20% still pierced through.

And even that remaining portion was enough to overwhelm True Monarch Ironblood’s soul.

Boom!

The True Monarch Ironblood froze mid-action, his aura rapidly dissipating, and the light in his eyes instantly faded.

The True Monarch Ironblood—had fallen!

This scene completely shocked everyone. The unexpected death of True Monarch Ironblood disrupted the formation of the ten True Monarchs, leaving them momentarily stunned and without response.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Tian struck again, sending the remaining nine True Monarchs flying and injuring them.

“The True Monarch Ironblood is dead?! How is that possible?!”

“That was a soul attack! The Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws can kill with soul-based techniques!”

“But he couldn’t kill True Monarch Ironblood before—how did his soul attack power suddenly skyrocket?!”

Panic spread among the nine remaining True Monarchs.

At that moment, Ye Tian unleashed another God Annihilator.

This time, yet another True Monarch fell.

With only eight True Monarchs left, the scales of victory tilted toward Ye Tian.

“With my current soul strength, using Trinity Unity alongside God Annihilator consumes a lot of soul power. At most, I can only use it three times in one go. But I can restore my soul strength by consuming innate origin essence.” Ye Tian thought to himself.

However, for the sake of caution, he didn’t plan to use three God Annihilator attacks in quick succession. If his soul became too weakened, it could leave him vulnerable to unexpected dangers.

Thus, Ye Tian unleashed God Annihilator at intervals.

With each True Monarch’s death, panic spread among the five major factions.

These True Monarchs weren’t weaklings—they were either rulers or second-in-command figures of top-tier factions. Each of them ranked high on the True Monarch Rankings! In any given era, these major factions could produce only one or two True Monarchs of this caliber. Losing one of them hurt far more than losing a True Ancestor.

Some of the remaining True Monarchs tried to flee, but once the Six-Faced Dice was activated, there was no way to escape unless its power was exhausted or the one who cast it died.

“Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, we surrender!”

The four remaining True Monarchs pleaded for mercy.

Ye Tian, however, showed no concern and ignored them completely.

When they had the upper hand earlier, they never considered sparing him. Now that the tables had turned, they thought they could call a truce and beg for their lives? No way! Those who crossed him had only one path—death!

Soon, the four remaining True Monarchs fell, one by one.

With the deaths of all ten True Monarchs, the power sustaining the Six-Faced Dice collapsed, and it quickly disintegrated into nothingness, vanishing from the world. This wondrous chaos artifact ceased to exist.

“Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, you’re courting death!!!”

Several angry shouts rang out.

Among them was the furious voice of True Monarch Ghost Shadow!

The Dark God Society had sent two of their strongest True Monarchs from the ranking list, but now both had perished. Although the Dark God Society still had a few True Monarchs left, they were far weaker. At the True Monarch level, the Dark God Society had now lost its pillars of strength.

This loss was devastating. True Monarch Ghost Shadow harbored a deep hatred toward Ye Tian, determined to kill him no matter the cost.

However, True Monarch Dragon Sea stood in his way!

In truth, True Monarch Ghost Shadow wasn’t as strong as True Monarch Dragon Sea. With the added power of the Void Sky True Nation boosting him, True Monarch Dragon Sea completely overpowered Ghost Shadow.

Though Ghost Shadow had many trump cards to barely hold off True Monarch Dragon Sea, it was only enough to fend him off temporarily.

Now that True Monarch Dragon Sea had fully engaged him, blocking Ghost Shadow’s pursuit was effortless.

“True Monarch Ghost Shadow, if you think you can kill the Dao Child of our Void Sky Hall, you’re dreaming.”

“And if you don’t leave soon, you may just meet your end here in the Void Sky True Nation.” True Monarch Dragon Sea sneered as he spoke.

“Damn it!” True Monarch Ghost Shadow cursed under his breath.

He had already used a wondrous object to hold off True Monarch Dragon Sea and was injured in the process.

Now, his wounds worsened by the second. If he didn’t retreat soon, he really might perish in the Void Sky True Nation.

“This isn’t over!”

With that parting threat, True Monarch Ghost Shadow tore open the space within the Void Sky True Nation and fled.

On the other side—

Ye Tian had slaughtered all ten of the True Monarchs, despite their use of numerous wondrous objects.

Now, he possessed all of the artifacts they left behind. Once he refined these treasures, his combat power would likely soar even higher.

“Is there anyone else who wants to claim this ruin?” Ye Tian asked coldly.

His gaze swept across the remaining True Monarchs, causing some of them to instinctively take a few steps back.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One after another, True Monarchs began to leave, unwilling to stay any longer.

Although their combined forces initially outnumbered the Void Sky Hall, Ye Tian’s terrifying strength was more than enough to wipe out large numbers of them on his own. Against an opponent like this, sheer numbers were meaningless.

Even with meticulous planning, the ten True Monarchs earlier had failed to kill Ye Tian. This alone proved how formidable his survival skills and offensive power were.

They had no desire to die. No one was willing to risk their life for a meaningless ruin.

Thus, most of the True Monarchs chose to retreat.

With so many of them gone, the few who still had lingering thoughts about the ruin didn’t dare stay either. If they remained, they knew they would only end up as corpses.

In no time, all the True Monarchs from the major factions had departed.

Before the entrance to the Blackwind Mountain Ruins, only the members of the human race and the True Monarchs of the Void Sky Hall remained.
