"Because I am the Sovereign of Formlessness!"
No other reason was needed. That single statement, "Because I am the Sovereign of Formlessness," was enough to set the blood of all human powerhouses boiling.
The peerless Sovereign of Formlessness had returned. He was not an Emperor, yet he had unleashed power on the level of a Supreme One, resurrecting against the natural order.
As space-time danced, he traversed the All Heavens. When he executed the Battle Saint Art, it was as if the Battle Saint Ancestor himself had taken action, sweeping through three thousand great worlds with no match, everything about to be obliterated.
The Heavenly Emperor was stained with blood, and the Emperor Soul of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was severely wounded, its demonic light dimmed.
This was because neither of them were truly Great Perfection Imperial Dao Supreme Ones. One relied on Faith Power, and after such a prolonged Supreme-level battle, his reserves were already beginning to wane. The other was merely an Emperor Soul, and that soul had not returned to its peak state. Strictly speaking, neither could be considered a true Imperial Dao Supreme One.
More importantly, the Sovereign of Formlessness was not only resurrected but had surpassed his former self, becoming even more incomparably powerful.
In his past life, he was already hailed as capable of battling a true Emperor. How much more so now? He was only stronger, not weaker.
If this continued, the two flawed Supreme Ones from the Chaos Burial Ground would be slain here.
"Battle Saint Slays the Heavens!"
Suddenly, the River of Time violently convulsed. A Dao shout that shook past, present, and future resounded, originating from the Sovereign of Formlessness.
He unleashed his most terrifying strike, a Forbidden Divine Ability from the Battle Saint Art, a forbidden technique created by the strongest Emperor, the Battle Saint Ancestor. It seemed tailor-made for the Sovereign of Formlessness.
The entire River of Time was on the verge of snapping. The river boiled as the Sovereign of Formlessness stood upon it, his body radiating boundless golden light.
No other figure appeared. Only he stood alone upon the River of Time, drawing upon infinite, majestic power that shook space-time, sweeping down with the endless stars of the thirty-three layers of heaven.
It was a peak-level strike comparable to an ancient Great Emperor, an Emperor-level Forbidden Divine Ability, terrifying beyond compare, surpassing all previous ones, powerful to a degree that was already indescribable.
Fortunately, the River of Time enveloped everything. Otherwise, the space-time of the five imperial tombs would have been pulverized by this blow, potentially even shattering the Heavenly Burial Mound and tearing apart the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
All because the Sovereign of Formlessness was too powerful, his combat prowess approaching that of an ancient Great Emperor, and the Forbidden Divine Ability he triggered was even more so.
Boom—
The River of Time nearly snapped. The Heavenly Emperor and the Emperor Soul of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor exploded, directly torn apart by Battle Saint Slays the Heavens.
The ages trembled!
The Sovereign of Formlessness had blasted apart two Imperial Dao Supreme Ones. Although they were flawed Supreme Ones, this achievement alone was glorious enough to shine through the ages, for he was not yet a true ancient Great Emperor.
The title of "Number One Under the Emperor" was not given lightly. Within the Supreme domain, the Sovereign of Formlessness truly reigned supreme and invincible!
"Too strong!"
"Simply defying the heavens! Matching two Supreme Ones was one thing, but now he directly blasted them apart!"
"This is the peerless combat power of the number one under the Emperor throughout the ages! Even not being a Supreme One, he can match them!"
Powerhouses across the All Heavens marveled. Such combat prowess made other Sovereigns pale in comparison, made the Emperor Without Epoch's eyes blaze with fervor, made the Golden Crow Great Emperor's gaze shine with brilliance. He was a mythic-level figure.
No wonder the alien race had spared no cost, paying an extremely heavy price to slay the Sovereign of Formlessness back then. Seeing all this, one had to admit his peerless, matchless nature.
The alien race had reason for their actions. The Sovereign of Formlessness was too heaven-defying.
However, the only regret for the alien race was that the Sovereign of Formlessness had resurrected, returned against the natural order, and was even stronger than before.
Given time, it was not impossible that he would one day achieve Emperorhood, become the strongest Emperor, and emerge as another supreme powerhouse within the Chaos Sea.
Despair gripped the side of the Chaos Burial Ground. Having waited for ages, schemed for endless years, finally grasping this sliver of an opportunity, only for such an invincible Sovereign of Formlessness to appear out of nowhere. Was there truly no hope for the Chaos Burial Ground to break its seals?
Rumble—
Naturally, both were Supreme Ones. Although severely wounded by the Emperor-level Forbidden Divine Ability, they had not completely perished. They reconstituted themselves in the distance, though the light around them had dimmed considerably.
Especially the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor. His Emperor Soul had not recovered to its peak, and now it had been shattered once by the Sovereign of Formlessness's Forbidden Divine Ability, leaving him much weaker. He looked at the Sovereign of Formlessness with intense wariness.
He roared with unwillingness, his cry shaking the River of Time, yet it was futile. For he was ultimately not the Great Perfection Emperor Realm Supreme One of his past. Even the Great Perfection Saint Body he had painstakingly seized had been taken away. With only his Emperor Soul remaining, his combat power was far from his peak, leaving him very passive.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Upon the River of Time, the Sovereign of Formlessness strode forward. His figure was so tall and majestic. Each step he took caused the River of Time to boil, waves surging tens of thousands of zhang high.
He seemed to be reversing the flow of time upstream. He wielded no Dao weapon, for his own body was the strongest weapon, peerless and invincible, operating the Battle Saint Art, its might vast across past and present.
The two flawed Supreme Ones were sent flying once more, covered in blood, utterly disheveled.
Today, a scene of Supreme Ones being slaughtered might truly occur.
In the distant sky, the Heavenly Emperor's imperial body was stained with blood, the Faith Power light around him dimmed to its lowest point in history, filled with sorrow: "Can it be that our Chaos Burial Ground truly cannot return today? I am unwilling!"
Boom—
Suddenly, the Heavenly Emperor's entire body began to burn. Boundless, endless Faith Power boiled and burned. At this moment, he erupted with peerless Supreme Dao majesty, surpassing all previous levels. Even the Sovereign of Formlessness, preparing to attack, narrowed his eyes slightly.
But he hesitated not at all, continuing his assault, striking through reversed space-time.
For he knew the Heavenly Emperor was making his final struggle. If not stopped, the Sealing Grand Array of the Chaos Burial Ground might very well be broken.
"Slaying the Heavens Through the Ages!"
At this moment, the Emperor Soul of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor unleashed its most terrifying strike, displaying its own Forbidden Divine Ability. Instantly, it possessed the majestic power of a Great Perfection Emperor Realm Supreme One, meeting the Sovereign of Formlessness head-on.
"Scram!"
The Sovereign of Formlessness's eyes shot open, his combat power erupting as he clashed with his opponent. Light illuminated past, present, and future.
The River of Time shook incessantly, startling the ages.
However, this strike successfully blocked the Sovereign of Formlessness for a brief moment, and for the first time since his return, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
It was the first time the Sovereign of Formlessness had been wounded since his return.
But that was all. He was too strong.
Naturally, the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was also in a bad state. Having forcibly executed a Forbidden Divine Ability, and being in Emperor Soul form, the consumption was immense, leaving him even more dim.
But his goal was achieved: to briefly hinder the Sovereign of Formlessness.
"I am the Divine Self Body of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, a clone he left in this realm, a medium connecting the two worlds!"
"Originally, the best plan was to use the bloodlines of the Supreme Ones across the All Heavens to weaken the Sealing Grand Array, directly breaking the seals, and finally allowing our Chaos Burial Ground to emerge. But now, having reached this point, we have no choice but to resort to the second method."
"Now, although the Sealing Grand Array has not been completely neutralized, I will burn this Divine Self Body, using the ancient emperor corpses of the five Chaos Burial Grounds as sacrifice, to forcibly open the seals of the Chaos Burial Ground and allow the true Chaos Burial Ground to descend!"
Boom—
In an instant, the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self Body radiated light spanning billions of zhang. Infinite, boundless Supreme Dao majesty suddenly boiled over. The entire River of Time erupted into complete turmoil.
The five imperial tombs abruptly rose into the sky, beginning to burn. Boundless, endless majestic power poured into the neutralizing array. The Sealing Grand Array grew increasingly dim.
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self Body burned completely. The boundless Faith Power merged into one. A dazzling, boundless beam of light shot straight up into the sky, piercing directly into the Sealing Grand Array.
