Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of massive chains continuously rang out. It was the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast. He opened a pair of purple eyes that were no less imposing than the green ones, and said coldly, "So what if it was this seat who acted?"
The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast was extremely forceful, showing no fear of the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence.
The Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence looked coldly at the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast, killing intent spreading as it snorted coldly, "Are you truly not afraid that after this Emperor revives, I will directly suppress you and make you my mount?"
"Oh?" The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast uttered a sound of surprise, then continued with a sinister voice, "Not to mention your current severely wounded body, even at your peak, what did I, the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast, have to fear from you? Back when I roamed the Chaos Sea unhindered, you were still trapped in some corner, imprisoned by others."
Without a doubt, the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast had an immense background. He had once roamed the Chaos Sea, finding no match, and was feared by the powerhouses of the various Chaos Ancient Universes. Now, even though he was split into seven sin bodies, he remained the same. His words also mocked the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence for always being trapped within the Chaos Burial Ground, unable to escape.
The Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence snorted, its voice icy to the extreme, "The current you is merely one of the seven sin bodies. You might not even be a match for a Sovereign, yet you dare to clamor before this Emperor? On the day I revive, I will definitely suppress this sin body of yours and make you my mount!"
Roar—
Suddenly, the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast let out a roar. The roar shook the entire Deep and Dark Ancient Path. The boundless darkness was expelled, gradually dissipating, almost completely shattered. The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast's purple eyes stared coldly at the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence as he said icily, "You actually dare to set your sights on this seat? You are truly bold. Do you really think you are still at your peak from back then?"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of numerous Great Dao shackles rang out. Immediately, everyone could sense a terrifying power of the Great Dao rapidly surging forth, a power that even made everyone's scalps tingle. This power even surpassed that of an ordinary Ancient Monarch. Even the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence was suddenly startled, its voice no longer cold, emotionless, and calm, but now carrying intense fluctuations: "Primordial Sin Ancient Beast, stop this at once!"
"Huang Strike!"
As this voice erupted from the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast's abyss-like giant mouth, it seemed as if the heavens themselves were about to completely collapse. An endless, majestic power surged forth in an instant, heavily smashing against the pair of green eyes.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, that pair of green eyes fiercely exploded. A large amount of green blood descended from the sky, splattering in all directions.
Immediately afterward, a shrill, agonized roar echoed from the void. It was unmistakably the pained cry of the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence. The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast's strike had inflicted truly severe wounds upon it.
"Primordial Sin Ancient Beast, you seek death!" The Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence roared, filled with boundless shock and fury.
"Still daring to clamor before me, are you?" The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast snorted coldly, unleashing another terrifying force of the utmost extremity. In an instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, everything was pulverized, the Great Dao turned to emptiness, and all things headed towards the path of annihilation.
The Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence let out an even more miserable roar. Within the originally pitch-black Deep and Dark Ancient Path, even more blood descended from the sky. It was all green, but compared to the green of the Life Essence, it carried a more sinister quality, capable of corroding everything. Some Divine Kings were accidentally splashed by this emerald-green blood, and they were instantly vaporized alive, reduced to piles of flesh and bone.
If even Divine Kings suffered such a fate, other experts below the Divine King level who were splashed by the emerald-green blood met even more tragic ends. Their entire bodies rotted away on the spot, becoming piles of nothingness, completely vanishing.
Ye Chen and the others were all shocked. The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast was truly domineering beyond measure, causing the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence to suffer consecutive severe wounds, continuously shedding blood.
The Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence fell silent, as if not daring to continue its clamor. However, the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast also seemed unwilling to attack further. After the assault, it slowly began to withdraw its colossal, massive body.
"Senior—"
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen hurriedly spoke up, fervently hoping the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast would continue its attack, to thoroughly wound this Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence, or even better, completely annihilate it, preventing its successful transformation.
However, the Primordial Sin Ancient Beast continued to retreat. A voice resounded in his mind: "I cannot kill this creature. Moreover, my duty is to guard the Burial Emperor Abyss. Everything else must rely on yourselves."
Hearing this, Ye Chen was greatly disappointed but could only sigh helplessly. Still, the situation was favorable now. The Primordial Sin Ancient Beast had severely wounded the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence, buying them some time to leave.
At this moment, both the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and the Wushi Sovereign had successfully arrived, descending before the entrance to the Deep and Dark Ancient Path. They did not truly enter, fearing the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence might seal the path, temporarily trapping them and allowing it to strike at the Ninth Heavenly Pass.
Boom— Boom—
The two directly erupted with two terrifying divine auras that swept across the sky, distantly illuminating the path ahead for everyone.
Within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, all the powerhouses sensed the vast, oppressive might of two Ancient Monarch-level existences. They all looked in shock towards the distant, sky-filling pressure, many trembling uncontrollably.
"This is the might of Ancient Monarchs! Have Ancient Monarchs arrived ahead?"
"Ancient Monarchs have descended as well. Should we advance?"
"What if the Ancient Monarchs are waiting for us ahead, lying in ambush?"
Many felt a sense of anxiety. After experiencing the Chaotic Burial Ground Great Terror Existence, they all felt the Deep and Dark Ancient Path was unsafe. Now, with two Ancient Monarchs waiting ahead, they felt even more filled with worry.
To them, these were existences no less terrifying than the green eyes in the sky earlier, against whom they had almost no power to resist.
Seeing this, Ye Chen took the lead, charging forward with the Life Essence. He sent a message to the myriad rotting gods and demons led by the eight rotting creatures: "Everyone, there's no need to worry. There is little danger ahead. Just keep advancing!"
"Battle Saint King, how do you know there is definitely no danger ahead?"
However, experts from other Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Imperial Domains questioned him. This Battle Saint King seemed very confident about what lay ahead, yet two intense Ancient Monarch auras were right there. How could he judge there was no danger?
Ye Chen didn't even turn his head, replying coldly, "No one is forcing you to go. In fact, I'd be quite happy if all of you stayed here to keep it company."
