"The Epoch Great Turmoil is even more terrifying than the Mythical Great Destruction."
Mentioning the "Epoch Great Turmoil" made even a cosmic overlord like the Sun Sovereign turn grave, for it was an absolutely dreadful term.
"After all, the Mythical Great Destruction of that year was, in truth, only targeted at the Sealed Boundary Universe. However, the Epoch Great Turmoil will involve the entire Era Epoch, affecting all Ancient Universes within the Chaos Sea. The consequences would be countless times more severe."
"Several Era Epochs ago, such an Epoch Great Turmoil occurred. The final cost was the collapse of a full three Ancient Universes within the Chaos Sea. Countless lives were lost, and even Emperors and Supreme Immortals fell in great numbers, their blood staining the boundless Chaos Sea."
"It can be said, that was an unimaginable catastrophe."
Hearing this, Ye Chen's heart raced with fear.
The Epoch Great Turmoil was actually far more severe than the Mythical Great Destruction.
In terms of severity alone, it was probably second only to the ultimate battle of the blood-stained future.
"Once the Epoch Great Turmoil occurs, the Sealed Boundary Universe won't merely be conquered, with less than one or two out of ten thousand races surviving. Instead, the entire Ancient Universe will shatter, disappearing completely from the Chaos Sea like the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe. The current Myriad Domains would also cease to exist," the Sun Sovereign said.
"At that time, the Heavenly Emperor appeared!"
"The Heavenly Emperor is a supreme existence whom even my Master, Tai Sheng Huang, deeply respects. His status in the Sealed Boundary Universe is in no way inferior to Shidai's in the alien race's Ancient Universe—supreme and unparalleled."
Speaking of the Heavenly Emperor, the Sun Sovereign was also filled with reverence. He was the most ancient, most mysterious, and most powerful Great Emperor.
"Back then, the Heavenly Emperor stood alone against the Supreme Giants from various Era Epochs, preventing their descent!"
The Heavenly Emperor was peerless. Even though the Sun Sovereign didn't elaborate on how he faced them, Ye Chen seemed to witness those scenes.
Beyond the Sealed Boundary Universe, the Heavenly Emperor stood upon the River of Time. He seemed like the most majestic existence between heaven and earth, before whom all Daos must submit and even time itself must sink into oblivion, unable to leave the slightest trace upon him.
He looked down upon space-time, gazing at one Supreme Giant after another upon the River of Time, confronting them, facing them alone, peerless throughout the ages.
He also displayed supreme power that defied past and present, preventing those Supreme Giants from various Era Epochs from causing chaos. He stopped them all, suppressing that impending Epoch Great Turmoil.
Undoubtedly, what a magnificent achievement that was, unmatched and incomparable by anyone.
Perhaps precisely because of this, the invincible and mysterious Heavenly Emperor was left with no strength to attend to other matters. With the Sealed Boundary Universe lacking its most powerful Heavenly Emperor, coupled with Shidai's gaze across space-time and the emergence of some giants not inferior to Emperors who allied with the alien race, the Sealed Boundary Universe—once glorious and prosperous, in no way weaker than the alien race's Ancient Universe—finally marched helplessly towards the Mythical Great Destruction.
Ye Chen felt a sincere sense of respect and reverence well up within him.
Perhaps even now, the Heavenly Emperor was still facing the most terrifying enemies alone.
"Junior Brother, please believe that the Emperors of the Sealed Boundary Universe each have their own duties, and they will return one day."
"They will prevent the blood-stained future from occurring and protect the living beings of the Sealed Boundary Universe."
This conversation allowed Ye Chen to learn many unknown secrets.
The human race might seem weak now, but that was not actually the case. Behind them were those ancient Great Emperors who had not fallen, each walking their own path. When the Sealed Boundary Universe reached a critical moment, he believed they would all inevitably return.
The human race would flourish greatly!
One day, when he was strong enough, perhaps upon reaching the Emperor realm, he could meet those ancient Great Emperors and learn all the secrets.
The Sun Sovereign suddenly said, "Junior Brother, you cultivate the Chaos Great Dao. This is the most difficult path, one even my Master Tai Sheng Huang did not fully accomplish. Although you received the Chaos insights bestowed by Master, at your current realm, you cannot fully comprehend them."
Ye Chen nodded. Tai Sheng Huang was the one who had come closest to achieving the Great Perfection of the Chaos Dao throughout history, missing it by only a hair's breadth. The Chaos insights he left behind were so profound that even other Emperors would need vast amounts of time to digest them bit by bit. How could Ye Chen, at his current realm, have digested them completely? Even now, he had only digested a small portion, perhaps just a pond's worth from a vast ocean.
To fully digest them was a long and arduous journey.
The Sun Sovereign tapped his glabella, then pulled out a ball of light that transformed into a fist-sized sun, incredibly dazzling yet not the least bit scorching, its aura completely restrained.
However, Ye Chen clearly saw that within this small sun were countless Great Dao runes of varying sizes and numerous chains of order, intertwined like blazing sun gold.
"This is the Sun Great Dao I cultivate, inherited from my Master Tai Sheng Huang. It was created by him based on his insights into the Chaos Great Dao and taught to me. I then transformed the various mysteries of the Sun Great Dao into a Sun Scripture, more suitable for me. Now, I impart it to you." The Sun Sovereign handed over the fist-sized sun.
"You can cultivate this Sun Great Dao. It's a pity An Ye is not here; I am not very proficient in the Moon Great Dao. However, in the future, as long as you also cultivate the Moon Great Dao, you can reference them against each other. The mutual support of Yin and Yang will allow you to better comprehend Chaos and digest the Chaos insights left by Master Tai Sheng Huang more quickly."
This was a generous gift. Ye Chen looked at the fist-sized sun, did not refuse, solemnly performed a bow of great respect, and then accepted it.
Great kindness needs no words of thanks.
He knew the Sun Sovereign's reasons for helping him: first, because he was considered half a junior brother; second, because he was a key figure, also a cultivator of the Chaos Dao, the one with the greatest hope of transcending to achieve eternity in the future.
In the future, as long as he achieved the Great Perfection of the Chaos Great Dao, that would be the best repayment to the Sun Sovereign.
Not long after, Ye Chen bid farewell and left.
Before his departure, the Sun Sovereign advised him to be extra careful, as the alien race was now very wary of the growth of him, a Chaos Young Supreme. They might secretly take action, so he must be especially vigilant.
Ye Chen agreed. Afterwards, he entered a divine hall alone. Yu Qing, A Beinu, and others guarded outside the hall, setting up layer upon layer of grand formations, concealed by Chaos. Even a Primordial Sovereign would find it impossible to probe inside with divine sense.
Now, Ye Chen finally began to deal with the matter of the Emperor's sons and daughters.
Whoosh—
The Chaos Saint Soul avatar appeared within his internal Chaos Small Universe. The Central World Tree swayed with radiance, continuously emanating vast world power, stabilizing the Chaos Small Universe and promoting its growth.
Eight elemental divine clones flickered in and out, with Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Yang, and Yin circulating...
Finally, he looked at the Supreme Ancient Tower at the center. Before it sat the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, guarding everything.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body opened its eyes, exchanging a glance with Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul avatar. With a whoosh, the latter entered the Supreme Ancient Tower.
