The Sovereign of Formlessness arrived before the Resolution Grand Array and erupted with his full power. At this moment, his Battle Saint Physique reached its ultimate peak, his entire body burning as he gave a mighty heave, actually lifting the entire Resolution Grand Array and gradually moving it away from the Sealing Grand Array.
The All Heavens were shaken!
What kind of immense power was this to accomplish such a feat.
As the Resolution Grand Array gradually moved away, the cracks in the Sealing Grand Array were no longer affected. The supreme imprints began to glow once more, gradually repairing the fissures.
The five Ancient Emperors within the cracks all changed expression, for they sensed the change in the Sealing Grand Array—it was slowly repairing itself. If they did not retreat now, they risked being trapped within the Sealing Grand Array, forever unable to break free.
Yet, having come this far, having traversed more than half the distance, and with the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self and the Slaughter Demon Emperor both sacrificed—two Supreme Ones lost at such great cost—to return empty-handed now would mean their grand plan spanning countless ages would come to naught. They simply could not accept it.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor said, "Let us all return. If we do not go back now, we will be completely sealed within, never to emerge again."
"Ah—"
The five Ancient Emperors roared with unwilling fury, for there was nothing they could do. They could not hold the cracks open for long, as this seal was left behind jointly by the Emperors and supreme immortals of the All Heavens from ages past, their numbers far surpassing their own, making it impossible to stabilize the opening indefinitely.
Other Ancient Emperors from the Chaos Burial Ground manifested their supreme dharma forms, each one incomparably massive, overlooking everything from within the Chaos Burial Ground. Some roared.
Yet the most crucial element, the Resolution Grand Array, was gradually detaching, unable to effectively influence the Sealing Grand Array. They too were powerless to change the situation.
"Thinking to thwart my Chaos Burial Ground's grand plan spanning countless ages so easily? Golden Crow Great Emperor, you are being far too presumptuous. Even if Qin Shi Huang himself were to come, he could not stop this now."
Suddenly, a voice devoid of joy or sorrow transmitted into the cracks. The Golden Crow Great Emperor, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, abruptly changed expression.
Boom—
Almost at the same instant, an infinite pressure capable of suppressing past, present, and future suddenly appeared at the crack of the Chaos Burial Ground, even overshadowing the five Ancient Emperors.
A vague, immeasurably terrifying figure appeared. His true visage was unclear, but he seemed transcendent as he landed within the crack. That supreme, peerless pressure even seemed to slow the rate at which the crack was healing.
Unprecedented!
Even the five Ancient Emperors had not managed this, yet the newcomer had.
"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
Whether it was the Ancient Emperors within the Chaos Burial Ground or the five within the crack, all showed a certain reverence towards that figure at this moment. And that form of address undoubtedly revealed the newcomer's identity—
Heavenly Emperor!
A true, supreme Heavenly Emperor, not the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self from the side of the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
To dare claim the title of Heavenly Emperor was proof enough of the newcomer's terrifying power. With his hands clasped behind his back, he actually walked within the crack. Though not particularly fast, he was far more composed than the other five Ancient Emperors.
"Primordial Heavenly Emperor, you actually appeared!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's expression sank to its most solemn point, for the Primordial Heavenly Emperor before him was a Strongest Emperor. In the past, he had made the Ten Supreme Ones pay a bloody price. It was only the appearance of the Strongest Emperor Qin Shi Huang that had truly stopped him.
Now, after a full epoch had passed, who would have thought they would meet this famed Primordial Heavenly Emperor again in such a manner!
"The Heavenly Emperor!"
"The supreme Heavenly Emperor Majesty has personally descended!"
"The emergence of the Chaos Burial Ground can no longer be stopped!"
The Destruction Legion on the side of the Chaos Burial Ground all exclaimed in shock, and nearly all of them looked upon that peerless, supreme Heavenly Emperor with an unparalleled fanaticism.
Within the Chaos Burial Ground, the Heavenly Emperor was supreme, his status even a notch above that of the Ancient Emperors.
For no other reason than this: the Heavenly Emperor was the strongest!
In contrast to the delight of the Chaos Burial Ground's powerhouses, the forces of the All Heavens fell into despair.
"It's a Heavenly Emperor, a Heavenly Emperor comparable to a Strongest Emperor has personally descended!"
"A Heavenly Emperor! Even looking across the entire Primordial Immortal World, only an Immortal King could be mentioned in the same breath!"
"With a Heavenly Emperor emerging, can we still stop it?"
Many felt despair once more, constantly oscillating between hope and despair.
"Is this a Heavenly Emperor as powerful as my Imperial Father?"
Different from the others, the Divine Emperor's Son stared intently at the Heavenly Emperor. His Imperial Father, the Divine Emperor, was also a Strongest Emperor.
Chu Shenjun's gaze also shifted slightly, but he did not share the fear of others. Facing such a Heavenly Emperor, as the descendant of an Immortal King, he could understand a thing or two about the ultimate power of such figures.
Within the crack, the Heavenly Emperor strode forward with such ease and grace. Although the various supreme imprints within the Sealing Grand Array formed immense pressure, constantly blocking him, he was not as disheveled as the other five Ancient Emperors. Step by step, he was steady, never stumbling.
He looked ahead, his gaze meeting the Golden Crow Great Emperor's at the far end of the crack. Though his true face was unclear, he seemed to smile—a cold, merciless smile. "I never thought you, who perished back then, could be revived. Truly remarkable. Pity it's only an Emperor Soul, a bit lacking."
"Hmph! Even if it's just an Emperor Soul, it is enough to block you!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor let out a long roar, guiding ten supreme heavenly suns. Infinite supreme might poured down, assailing the Heavenly Emperor.
"Cover the Heavenly Emperor!"
Whether it was the Ancient Emperors of the Chaos Burial Ground or the five within the crack, they all took action one after another. Boundless imperial killing intent transformed into rays of slaughter, continuously striking to cover the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, neutralizing seventy to eighty percent of the might pouring down from the supreme heavenly suns. What remained was simply insufficient to threaten the Primordial Heavenly Emperor.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's expression was grave, yet he also sighed. Right now, the Sovereign of Formlessness was holding up the entire Resolution Grand Array; even someone as powerful as him was temporarily unable to attend to other matters.
Neither the Sovereign of No World nor the Great Emperor's Reincarnation Body could manage it, for even if two more Supreme Ones came, it was not certain they could stop the Primordial Heavenly Emperor.
For no other reason than this: he was the Primordial Heavenly Emperor!
In the past, only Qin Shi Huang, that peerless emperor of a thousand ages who was also a Strongest Emperor, could block him. Now, unfortunately, they lacked an invincible being of that level from the Chaos Sea.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor continued to pace within the crack. He saw streams of supreme might manifesting within the fissure, as if seeing the Emperors and supreme immortals who participated in the seal in ages past, forming a massive obstruction. Among them were even the strongest existences like Strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings. Even someone as powerful as him was greatly suppressed, unable to cross the crack in one go.
Yet he remained just as calm and natural, standing with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, "Do you think mere leftover supreme imprints can stop me, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor? If the true bodies of those from back then were to descend, that might be another matter."
He was arrogant, and he had the right to be, for he was a supreme Heavenly Emperor. Heavenly Emperor radiance bloomed from his body, a might that transcended the supreme domain, supreme and peerless, rendering all attacks ineffective against him. He seemed to have transcended the mortal dust.
