The Ancient Nether Emperor did not pay attention to Ye Chen's shocked expression. His gaze turned toward the deepest part of the Abyss Chasm. There, it was a profound darkness, seemingly impenetrable. Yet, even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body distinctly sensed a terrifying fluctuation that made his heart inexplicably palpitate, slowly permeating the area—a fluctuation that could be called unimaginable.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body felt a slight tremor in his heart. Just what was hidden in the deepest part of the Abyss Chasm?
Clang! Clatter!
Suddenly, from the deepest part came a series of interwoven chain sounds, so soul-shaking.
Could there actually be living beings in the deepest part of this world tomb that buried countless worlds?
Whoosh—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's eyes fiercely erupted with two dazzling beams of light, like two vast heavenly suns, illuminating everything within the Abyss Chasm, turning darkness into light.
However, upon seeing what was in the deepest part, even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body suddenly felt a heart-pounding sensation.
For in the deepest part, he clearly saw an unimaginably colossal body lying there, covered in pitch-black scales as large as stars, lurking deep within the earth. Enormously thick chains clattered noisily, and an excessively terrifying pressure permeated the area, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.
From within, two very long purple lines of light abruptly appeared. Then, these two purple lines rapidly enlarged, slowly transforming into two enormous purple eyes. The eyes were so large, far bigger than stars, and they radiated boundless purple light that filled this Abyss Chasm.
Yet this purple light was filled with a boundless, heart-stopping sense of dread, wantonly spreading. This void seemed to continuously collapse due to the opening of these eyes, falling into absolute annihilation.
"Such terrifying eyes. Just how massive is this creature's body?" The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was also startled, simultaneously sensing a strong feeling of threat originating from this creature with the giant purple eyes. Without a doubt, it was an immensely terrifying Peerless Great Terror. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body grew vigilant, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
And for some unknown reason, he vaguely felt that this Peerless Great Terror had a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.
Clang! Clatter!
A series of chain sounds resounded between heaven and earth. Hazily, one could see within the dark depths of the abyss, thick, massive chains interweaving and clanging, echoing throughout the world.
Soon, Ye Chen understood and was also struck with awe. For this enormous great terror was clearly the Sovereign-level Beast Venerable he had once seen deep within the Sea Eye World of the Supreme Saint Emperor's Ancient Emperor Realm and in the Lake Bottom World beneath the lake on Undying God Island in the Fifth Trial Continent.
But back then, the second great terror Beast Venerable encountered in the Lake Bottom World of Undying God Island had clearly mentioned that it was not alone, that there were other avatars. The Sea Eye World was one. Could it be that the one before him, located in this mythical ruins land, was another one of its avatars?
Within the Abyss Chasm, those purple eyes, so massive they surpassed stars, coldly looked at the Ancient Nether Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body above. An ancient voice, as if from the previous epoch, resounded: "Who are you? Why do you disturb my slumber?"
The Ancient Nether Emperor gazed deeply at the Peerless Great Terror with purple eyes and said indifferently, "As expected, it is still you guarding this Emperor-Burial Abyss!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked at the Ancient Nether Emperor. The other party seemed to recognize the true identity of this Peerless Great Terror. But upon further thought, that made sense. After all, he was an ancient Great Emperor who had lived through more than one epoch. How could he not know many of the world's hidden great secrets?
But Emperor-Burial Abyss? Could it be an abyss that once buried an ancient Great Emperor?
"Hmm?" The Peerless Great Terror's cold purple eyes turned to the Ancient Nether Emperor. "You know me?"
"The famously renowned Primordial Sin Ancient Beast of the Chaos Sea—how could no one know it?" The Ancient Nether Emperor sneered coldly, revealing the other's true identity.
Primordial Sin Ancient Beast?
Ye Chen looked at the Peerless Great Terror with some surprise and suspicion. So its real name was Primordial Sin Ancient Beast. However, he had never entered the Chaos Sea, so he had little understanding of the name Primordial Sin Ancient Beast.
The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast swept a glance over the Ancient Nether Emperor, its vast voice ringing out again: "I remember now. You are the Ancient Nether Emperor of the alien race. But it is not your true self descending—it seems to be merely a projection. Do you also wish to intrude into that Forbidden Land? You should know I am guarding that Forbidden Land. You should leave. Do not waste this projection."
The Ancient Nether Emperor said, "Primordial Sin Ancient Beast, although I am only a projection, you are also not in a complete state. You are merely one of the Seven Sin Bodies. Speaking of which, you are not much stronger than I am. It is not certain you can stop this Emperor from entering the Forbidden Land."
From their conversation, Ye Chen learned much information. The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast was not singular; it possessed seven, known as the Seven Sin Bodies. Among them, the ones from the Sea Eye World and the Lake Bottom World were two of the Seven Sin Bodies, and the one before them in this abyssal land was the third Sin Body.
And this Sin Body of the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast was guarding a Forbidden Land, which was also the true purpose of the Ancient Nether Emperor's arrival.
Ye Chen remained silent the entire time, quietly observing both sides.
"Is that so? Since you, a mere projection, are so confident, then come and try. Even if I am divided into Seven Sin Bodies, any single Sin Body is enough to easily crush an ignorant projection like yours." The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast said coldly. An utterly terrifying killing intent wantonly spread from the Abyss Chasm. The intensity of that killing intent made even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body feel a chill run down his spine.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. This Primordial Sin Ancient Beast likely had an extraordinary origin. Even as one of the Seven Sin Bodies, it was not something an ordinary ancient Sovereign could compare to.
"Hmph! Since you dare block my Ancient Nether path, what does it matter if you are the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast? Today, this Emperor will venture forth regardless!"
The Ancient Nether Emperor snorted coldly. Holding the Emperor's Scepter, he didn't even bother with Ye Chen's Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Descending from the sky, he charged down into the Abyss Chasm below.
The Emperor's Scepter swung. In an instant, a tide of laws rapidly gathered between heaven and earth, even ten times more powerful than the law tide from his initial battle with the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. For a radius of a million li, there was nothing but the brilliantly colorful power of ten thousand laws.
Among them, the Emperor Dao Laws belonging to the Ancient Nether Emperor occupied the center, commanding the ten thousand laws. Then, they transformed into an attack power that was both dazzling and intensely blazing, surging down mightily to strike the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast below.
