This is bad! The expressions of the powerhouses changed drastically!
Basically, the most powerful Heavenly Mighty Figures were all jointly reviving the five Monarch Immortal Weapons to resist the nine Chaos Immortal Gold divine chains surging from the Abyss Chasm. Now, who could possibly withstand the terrifying existences emerging from the nine Ancient Temples?
Moreover, there were also quite a few terrifying living beings from the starry river and the army of Yin soldiers.
Boom—
Another Monarch Immortal Weapon appeared. It had been hidden all along, a backup plan. Now, it was revived by the other eight Great Powers who had freed themselves, and it was revived to its maximum extent, possessing over half of the invincible might of an Ancient Monarch. It charged towards the existences within the nine Ancient Temples.
Boom—
The existences from the nine Ancient Temples all struck out together, slapping towards the Monarch Immortal Weapon. In that instant, it exploded, unleashing the most blazing and terrifying divine might that directly swept out, vast and mighty, inundating ten layers of heaven and earth, shattering the myriad heavens.
However, the existences within the nine Ancient Temples remained unscathed. They were beings who had almost stepped into the realm of Ancient Monarchs. The nine supreme powerhouses joining forces were unafraid even if a true Ancient Monarch came, let alone just a single Monarch Immortal Weapon. Even at its fullest revival, it might not necessarily compare to a true Ancient Monarch; it merely possessed the invincible might of that realm.
In contrast, the eight ancient Great Sages wielding the Monarch Immortal Weapon all suffered a degree of backlash, each coughing up blood, with traces of blood seeping from their mouths.
"What do we do now?"
The various powerhouses looked at each other, at this point not knowing what would be best.
The nine Ancient Temple existences were each truly too powerful, difficult to resist.
And there were other terrifying living beings present, which was the most troublesome point.
Ye Chen and the other young generation's supremes were now waiting for an opportunity to act, because even approaching the Abyss Chasm was a troublesome matter. At the very least, for now, it wouldn't be easy, as the nine Ancient Temple existences were a huge obstacle; no one could truly enter it easily.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a tremendous roar echoed. Right within the Abyss Chasm, a massive fissure appeared, plunging into the depths of the abyss. Within it, one could vaguely see an ancient path flickering in and out of existence, as if it might vanish at any moment.
"Go! Perhaps that is the ancient path leading to the deepest part of the abyss, the road to the true location of the Emperor's Tomb."
Many people's eyes blazed with fervent light, each eager to charge into it. Yet, they could not. The nine Ancient Temple existences all took action one after another, and in the following moments, displayed truly terrifying power, slaughtering a swath of powerhouses. Among them, an ancient Great Sage even fell, a scene of extreme peril that shattered the nine heavens.
Ye Chen and the other young generation's supremes all sensed the danger and immediately retreated, temporarily leaving that place of trouble.
Sure enough, not long after they left, the most terrifying battle erupted there. It was far too intense. Not only did the nine Ancient Temple existences attack, but the nine Chaos Immortal Gold divine chains also swept across the sky, cleaving apart vast stretches of starry realms. The battle's scope was extremely wide.
Ye Chen and the others had no choice but to completely withdraw from the Primordial Continent, gazing over from afar.
At the same time, the true battle erupted. Moreover, from the starry sky, several supremely powerful, invincible figures actually arrived one after another. A full five peerless powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Great Power realm arrived, their Dao techniques immeasurable. Along with the appearance of other ancient Great Sages, they jointly wielded six Monarch Immortal Weapons. Among them, a supreme Emperor's weapon even appeared, borrowed for the occasion, shaking everyone's hearts.
One must know that within the ancient universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located, Emperors did not appear, and even Emperor clans remained low-key and mysterious, their traces difficult to find in the outside world. Being able to borrow a supreme Emperor's weapon was enough to explain many things.
This was the true great battle. Basically, all powerhouses below the Great Power level had withdrawn from the Primordial Continent, watching from afar as the Heavenly Mighty Figures wielded the supreme Emperor's weapon and the six Monarch Immortal Weapons to jointly attack the Abyss Chasm, striving to forcibly open a path to enter the Emperor's Tomb.
The battle was extremely intense, far exceeding the imagination of the world, destroying vast numbers of stars and shattering the ten directions of the heavenly domains.
Within the Abyss Chasm, there existed a true supreme being, suspected to be at the level of an Ancient Monarch. Moreover, the nine Chaos Immortal Gold divine chains danced about, splitting the long sky, exploding everything, constantly clashing.
The Heavenly Mighty Figures all displayed their most terrifying divine might of the Great Dao, each one capable of shattering heaven and earth, charging into the fray and clashing incessantly.
Among them, bloody light soared to the heavens. Ancient Great Sages fell, and not just one or two—a full five perished, their blood light permeating the air. However, on the side of the Abyss Chasm, after a prolonged battle, many terrifying living beings were also slain.
Boom—
Accompanied by a world-shaking roar, the Abyss Chasm suddenly tore open once more. Starry rivers snapped, revealing an even greater chasm. Even that mysterious ancient path within appeared much clearer.
Within it, a true Emperor's aura even bloomed, slowly spreading out.
"That is—"
Everyone's gaze focused there. Could that be the true location of the Emperor's Tomb?
However, no one dared to approach, because that place was filled with the most terrifying destructive power. An ancient Great Sage, if even slightly careless, would perish and have their Dao extinguished, let alone others; it was simply impossible.
The entire massive Primordial Continent would have long since shattered were it not for the support of the mysterious nine sky-piercing pillars.
The battle of the heavens extended far and wide. That area was completely inundated by the most terrifying destructive power, difficult to enter. Even young generation's supremes had to hesitate and hold back.
Among them, Ye Chen wanted to enter. He even communicated with his will to the A'huang Great Halberd, believing that with his own strength, he could enter.
Boom—
Accompanied by the most terrifying roar, a brief vacuum appeared on the Primordial Continent. That was the Heavenly Mighty Figures, controlling the supreme Emperor's weapon and the six Monarch Immortal Weapons, launching an attack, comprehensively blocking all major enemies within the Abyss Chasm, creating a path.
Among them, especially the protector Great Powers from the Ultimate Ancient Path transmitted a message, telling all powerhouses to enter that mysterious ancient path. All major enemies would be held back by them.
At this point, although the Heavenly Mighty Figures were somewhat unwilling, they knew in their hearts this was the only method: for them to take action to contain the enemies, allowing the ancient path trial-takers and the powerhouses brought by various races to enter the ancient path together and compete for the priceless immortal opportunity of the Emperor's Tomb.
Swish, swish, swish—
Almost immediately, the various powerhouses who had originally distanced themselves from the Primordial Continent all charged back. Among them, especially Ye Chen and the other young generation's supremes were like this.
They were extremely swift. With a swish, they traversed the sky, charging towards the location of the ancient path.
On that mysterious ancient path, a blurry gate of light materialized, as if it might scatter and vanish at any moment, quite unstable, attracting the attention of powerhouses from all sides.
Swish—
In that first instant, Ye Chen rushed to the front ranks, standing alongside several other young generation's supremes. However, the gate of light was not large, only allowing one person to pass through at a time. It could be said that in this split second, allies-turned-competitors—the Great Demon Gu Tian, the Fallen Angel, and another alien race young generation's supreme—all attacked each other, striving to be the first to charge through.
"Go die!"
Among them, the alien race young generation's supreme raised a divine sword and slashed towards Ye Chen's brow, aiming to kill with one strike.
"I didn't take the initiative to kill you, yet you dare attack? Scram!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly, his black hair dancing wildly. His entire aura suddenly sharpened to the extreme as he swung his Immortal Saint Fist to strike out, accompanied by dazzling golden light that tore through the nine heavens.
