Primordial Heaven said, "Alchemy Emperor, do you intend to stand on the side of the Sealed Realm Universe? You must know that doing so would mean standing in opposition to the Alien Ancient Universe."
The implication in his words was clear.
To stand in opposition to the Alien Ancient Universe—in the current world, not to mention colossi from antiquity, even entire Ancient Chaos Universes would be extremely reluctant to do so unless absolutely forced.
After all, the Alien Ancient Universe was simply too powerful. The Ancient Chaos Universes it had destroyed throughout history were proof enough.
The Alchemy Emperor smiled, his expression showing not the slightest change. "That is something you need not worry about, Primordial Heaven. Tai Sheng Huang is an old friend of mine. The Flame Emperor once granted me a favor, as did the Battle Saint Ancestor. Now that you intend to act against those they protect, I have no choice but to intervene."
His words were calm, but his stance was resolute.
If anyone dared to act against the Sealed Realm Universe faction, the Alchemy Emperor would undoubtedly take action.
The world was astonished, never expecting the Alchemy Emperor to actively step in to block the attack.
Even going so far as to willingly stand against the Alien Ancient Universe.
However, only those who knew the secrets of the past understood why the Alchemy Emperor would intervene at all costs. The reason he had become the Number One Alchemist of All Time, even breaking through limits to reach the pinnacle of alchemy throughout the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, was partly due to the contribution of the Flame Emperor's Chaos Emperor Flame.
It must be understood that the effect of flame on alchemy was immense.
As for Tai Sheng Huang and the Battle Saint Ancestor, there were even more factors involved.
Regardless, this indirectly demonstrated just how close the Alchemy Emperor's relationship was with the three giants of the Sealed Realm Universe. Otherwise, he would not have gone to such lengths.
The colossus Primordial Heaven's pupils also contracted slightly. He had not expected the Alchemy Emperor to go this far for the sake of the Sealed Realm's three giants. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is it worth it?"
The Alchemy Emperor chuckled softly but said nothing more.
Action spoke louder than words!
But without a doubt, with the Alchemy Emperor's protection, any power wishing to target the Sealed Realm faction would have to think twice.
After all, few were willing to make an enemy of the Alchemy Emperor!
"Very well. Today, I, Primordial Heaven, shall give you, Alchemy Emperor, some face. I will cease here."
Primordial Heaven withdrew, no longer taking action. Not only was the Alchemy Emperor himself a colossus from antiquity, but his alchemical skills alone had earned him favors from countless supreme powerhouses throughout history, including other strongest emperors and immortal kings who were also colossi from antiquity. If he called in those favors, even Primordial Heaven, as a colossus from antiquity, would have to pay a heavy price.
Unless absolutely forced, no one was willing to oppose and make an enemy of a figure like the Alchemy Emperor.
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Alchemy Emperor with gratitude, performing a deep bow of respect.
The Alchemy Emperor's eyes flickered with an uncertain light. First, he showed a trace of surprise, then let out a sigh tinged with profound meaning as he slowly spoke, "Young friend, you are indeed extraordinary. Since we parted ways years ago, who would have thought that after several centuries, you would reach this level as well. Truly remarkable—an Eternal Quasi-Monarch with potential comparable to the Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Ancestor. Moreover, you cultivate the Chaos Great Dao; achieving the Dao through Chaos in the future is not impossible."
In just a few words, he had seen through Ye Chen completely, worthy of being a colossus from antiquity.
Moreover, Ye Chen clearly felt the Moon Mark between his eyebrows, the Eternal Crown, the Chaos Thunder Source, the Chaos Water Source, and other Origin Sacred Artifacts or related items tremble and hum, evidently unable to escape the Alchemy Emperor's probing gaze.
Under the intentional scrutiny of a colossus from antiquity, even with countless methods at his disposal, Ye Chen found it difficult to evade detection.
However, the Moon Mark remained profoundly mysterious, shedding faint rays of light that actually concealed the Origin Universe. Even the Alchemy Emperor could not see through it; otherwise, he would surely have been shocked.
"This junior thanks the Alchemy Emperor for bestowing the inheritance back then."
Ye Chen did not dare to be negligent and performed another deep bow of respect.
The Alchemy Emperor waved his hand. "The reason I gifted you the alchemy inheritance back then was simply because we had a connection."
The appearance of the Alchemy Emperor also caused subtle changes among the various colossi on the Origin Ancient Path. Their eyes flickered as if weighing considerations.
Meanwhile, the giant-level battle within the Supreme Domain had reached a white-hot stage.
Because the six colossi from the two opposing Ancient Universes had, at this point, displayed their truly world-shaking, earth-shattering methods. They struck with thunderous force, each move and technique capable of shattering the ages.
If not for the Supreme Domain—this vast realm naturally created for battles at the Supreme One level and above, incredibly stable—any other world or heaven and earth, even an Ancient Chaos Universe, would likely have collapsed and been destroyed under the fierce combat of these six colossi.
This was the terrifying aspect of colossi from antiquity. Otherwise, why did the Chaos Burial Ground, possessing multiple strongest emperor-level colossi, cause the annihilation of an era and the destruction of an Ancient Chaos Universe? It was precisely because of the fearsome power of colossi from antiquity.
Boom—!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, even the seemingly impregnable Supreme Domain was forcibly pierced, shaking the boundless Chaos Sea outside. Countless great worlds were shattered and fell.
Within the Chaos Sea, many Ancient Chaos Universes were disturbed, their Supreme Ones awakening to gaze toward this place.
In the truly vast, boundless depths of the Chaos Sea—so extensive that even Supreme Ones could not fully explore them—stood an exceptionally unique Ancient Chaos Universe.
This Ancient Chaos Universe seemed to possess its own intelligence. Its surface was dim and lightless, with immense power lying dormant, appearing relatively calm.
At this very moment, within the universe, an unimaginably majestic existence was disturbed and slowly awakened.
The moment it awakened, the entire Ancient Chaos Universe trembled. The dimness faded, gradually becoming radiant and brilliant, spreading unimaginable power.
The nearby Chaos Sea seemed about to explode, stirring up boundless waves and causing widespread disturbance.
It was as if the entire Ancient Chaos Universe had awakened from its deepest slumber. Every move and action shook the ages, seeming even more terrifying than colossi from antiquity.
Within the Ancient Chaos Universe, various Supreme Ones awoke one after another, gazing toward the center of the universe—the most fundamental location, which could be called the universe's origin point—with suspicion and alarm.
Why had this majestic existence suddenly awakened?
Was a colossus from antiquity invading?
But they quickly shook their heads, feeling it unlikely. Even if a colossus from antiquity wanted to invade their Ancient Chaos Universe, they would have to be extremely cautious.
After all, who in the Chaos Sea did not know that this majestic existence had truly mastered the entire Ancient Chaos Universe, transforming it into his own Origin World—an invincible colossus.
Even colossi from antiquity would have to avoid hisedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat) when facing a majestic existence who controlled an entire Ancient Chaos Universe.
"Hmm, I actually sense..."
A vast, boundless divine sense suddenly spread out. The unfathomably majestic existence gazed toward the Origin Ancient Path, his divine sense echoing throughout the interior of the Ancient Chaos Universe: "On the Origin Ancient Path, there is actually someone else who has mastered a universe. Although it is only in its embryonic stage, it is truly rare and commendable."
"Could it be that another person like me is about to be born?"
Within the Ancient Chaos Universe, the expressions of the various Supreme Ones changed dramatically.
On the Origin Ancient Path, there was actually someone else like the majestic existence, who also possessed an Origin Universe?
Who could it be?
No one knew.
"Hmm, having slept for so many years, it is time for me to awaken. Perhaps I should make a trip to the Origin Ancient Path, see who is so fortunate, and also see how the Origin Ancient Path has progressed over these years."
After the divine sense transmitted within the Ancient Chaos Universe, a vast power abruptly vanished.
Within the universe, the various Supreme Ones were shocked. After sleeping for countless millennia, this majestic existence was finally about to appear in the world. Who knew what tremendous waves he would stir up.
