The six colossi drew a sharp breath of cold air. They had to admit, the Battle Saint Ancestor was truly ferocious, having shattered the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord's body multiple times. Even if he wasn't dead now, the injuries covering his body were utterly terrifying, infused with the Battle Saint Ancestor's indestructible martial will that had endured since antiquity.
To fully recover, even for a colossus from antiquity, would require who knew how many tens of thousands of years—perhaps not even an entire epoch would suffice.
If he truly intended to strike, the Battle Saint Ancestor genuinely possessed the capability to kill a colossus from antiquity. This was no joke.
Boom—
The Battle Saint Ancestor appeared, with the Defy Heaven Battle Lord by his side. The two Battle Colossi stood expressionless, advancing together toward the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord.
"Fellow Daoists, please stay your hands!"
The six colossi spoke up, attempting to intervene.
Their boundless colossus auras severed heaven and earth, more like a barrier cutting across the ages, blocking the Battle Saint Ancestor and Defy Heaven Battle Lord from pressing forward to deliver the killing blow.
"Oh? You wish to stop me?"
The Battle Saint Ancestor's black hair danced wildly, his supreme and invincible martial will overshadowing all heavens, demonstrating his combat power that suppressed the entire Chaos Sea. Even the other colossi from antiquity were slightly inferior, suppressed by his presence. They couldn't help but marvel—truly worthy of being hailed as the number one in attack power within the Chaos Sea.
One colossus's figure was indistinct, shrouded by boundless Supreme Emperor Laws that cascaded like endless waterfalls, obscuring his true visage. Only a voice imbued with the Heavenly Dao emerged, urging restraint: "Fellow Daoist, he cannot be killed. Doing so would provoke the alien race into utter fury, with consequences too dire to contemplate."
"It matters not. Kill him, and I will bear all responsibility," the Battle Saint Ancestor responded, leaving the world breathless.
Two words—
Dominant!
Truly worthy of being called the Chaos Sea's number one in attack power.
"Fellow Daoist, you have already inflicted severe damage upon the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord's origin. It is likely he won't recover within an entire epoch. Do not go too far. Please reconsider."
Another colossus advised, stating that once the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord was slain, the repercussions would be immense. It might even incite a violent uprising from the Alien Ancient Universe, leading them to invade the Origin Ancient Path, which would be unfavorable for all parties.
At this stage, although various colossi were stationed on the Origin Ancient Path, and even the Primordial Immortal Realm was nearby, the Alien Ancient Universe was, after all, one of the strongest ancient universes that had destroyed numerous Chaos Primordial Great Worlds and even Chaos Ancient Universes. Moreover, it had the backing of the Prime Ancestor, the greatest hidden hand in history.
If the Alien Ancient Universe truly erupted in violence and invaded the Origin Ancient Path, the consequences would indeed be unbearable.
Worst of all, the Origin Ancient Path might fragment and collapse entirely.
Thus, the efforts expended by all parties over more than one epoch would be rendered futile.
On the other side, the Defy Heaven Battle Lord appeared to be in his early twenties—unbelievably young. Yet his eyes contained the weight of countless eons, and his lifeblood energy brimmed to fill the heavens. He remained silent.
Silently, a bloody gash appeared on his palm. A vast amount of true blood flowed out, manifesting billions of Order Divine Chains and countless Emperor Dao Runes. These coalesced into a dark-red war hammer, resembling the Unharmed War Hammer but far more domineering and sinister, inscribed with the most terrifying Emperor Patterns.
It was the size of a small mountain, square at the base and peaked at the top.
With the emergence of this war hammer, the Defy Heaven Battle Lord's imposing aura clearly intensified by another level, enough to rival the Battle Saint Ancestor.
"The Heaven-Slaying Warhammer!"
Upon seeing this hammer appear, the colossi from all sides paled.
The Heaven-Slaying Warhammer was renowned far and wide. It rose to fame alongside the Defy Heaven Battle Lord's ascent, suppressing the Chaos Sea and having slain multiple Supreme Ones.
Rumor had it that after becoming a Chaos Sea colossus, the Defy Heaven Battle Lord had reforged the Heaven-Slaying Warhammer. This hammer was forged by melting down the Supreme Ones he had slain and the Supreme Emperor Weapons he had shattered, and it was further tempered with his own Defy Heaven True Blood.
After the Defy Heaven Battle Lord fell in battle, this Heaven-Slaying Warhammer also vanished. The world believed it had been shattered in that final conflict, never expecting it to reappear alongside the Defy Heaven Battle Lord's return to the mortal realm.
The Defy Heaven Battle Lord swept his emotionless gaze over the others present. "Do you intend to stop me?"
The Heaven-Slaying Warhammer floated up and down, scenes of heavens being destroyed in bloody tragedy and Supreme Ones falling appearing around it—representing the various trials of the Defy Heaven Battle Lord's rise to power, a sight that seized the heart and soul.
"In the past, I used this 'Heaven-Slaying Warhammer' to kill a colossus of the alien race, melting his flesh and blood into it."
He added another sentence, causing the hearts of the colossi from all sides to pound with fear.
Colossi from antiquity were said to be impervious to all calamities, the hardest to kill. Yet the Defy Heaven Battle Lord of old had personally slain an alien colossus—this was a matter of historical record. Although the Defy Heaven Battle Lord ultimately paid a terrible price, hovering on the brink of death, he narrowly escaped with his life.
A Dao Weapon that had slain a colossus from antiquity was the most terrifying of all, surpassing the battle weapons of other ancient colossi.
"Battle Saint Ancestor, Defy Heaven Battle Lord, please stay your hands! The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord must not be killed!"
The six colossi blocked their path. Even though they held some apprehension toward the Battle Saint Ancestor and Defy Heaven Battle Lord, they could not allow them to act. If the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord were to fall, the implications would be immense, and the impact would be extraordinarily severe.
"He must die!"
The Battle Saint Ancestor and Defy Heaven Battle Lord pressed forward step by step, their battle intent surging, unafraid even in the face of six colossi.
This too left the world in awe and admiration. Truly worthy of being Battle Colossi.
"Fellow Daoists, please cease."
The six colossi stepped forward, each with an aura that pierced through the heavens, shook the ages, and held unfathomable, terrifying depths.
On the Origin Ancient Path, the experts of the Sealed Realm Universe watched with tense hearts.
If they truly had to confront six colossi, even the Battle Saint Ancestor, hailed as the Chaos Sea's number one in attack power, would be in grave danger.
After all, being number one in attack power did not equate to absolute invincibility!
"These people—"
Ye Chen clenched his fists. They had finally obtained an excellent opportunity to suppress and kill an alien colossus, yet these colossi from antiquity were stepping forward one by one to intervene.
"Fellow Daoist, please reconsider!"
Within the Primordial Immortal Realm, several other Immortal Kings stood tall, also urging restraint from the perspective of the greater situation.
A colossus from antiquity—even for a supreme ancient universe like the Alien Ancient Universe, one of the most powerful in the Chaos Sea—the fall of such a being would inevitably result in heavy losses and have significant repercussions.
It could be said that the Alien Ancient Universe might tolerate the fall of Supreme Ones, but it would absolutely never permit the fall of a colossus from antiquity. Those were the true, invincible pillars supporting the Alien Ancient Universe's dominance over the Chaos Sea. How could they be allowed to topple?
The Battle Saint Ancestor said, "And if I insist on acting?"
"If that is truly the case, do not blame us for intervening to stop you!"
The six colossi also made their stance clear: they would absolutely not permit the Battle Saint Ancestor to slay an alien colossus.
"Battle Saint." The Spacetime Emperor looked toward the Battle Saint Ancestor and shook his head slightly.
Tai Sheng Huang and the Flame Emperor also shook their heads.
Although they all wished to behead the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord, now was not the time to unveil the final war. The grand scheme was still being laid out; the true moment had not yet arrived. To rashly initiate the ultimate conflict would be extremely disadvantageous not only for the alien race but also for the Sealed Realm Universe side.
"Agreed!"
The Battle Saint Ancestor relented, and the Defy Heaven Battle Lord also nodded.
"Hahaha—" The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord laughed uproariously. Though covered in blood, he was filled with arrogance, glaring coldly at the Battle Saint Ancestor and Defy Heaven Battle Lord. "Didn't you want to kill me? But can you actually do it?"
"Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord, enough!"
A colossus shouted. The other colossi from antiquity also frowned. They had barely managed to persuade the Battle Saint Ancestor and Defy Heaven Battle Lord, this pair of Battle Colossi, to stand down, and now you dare to provoke them? Do you truly seek death?
Boom—
Suddenly, world-destroying level auras erupted. The colossi from all sides changed expression, but it was already too late. They only saw the Battle Saint Ancestor and Defy Heaven Battle Lord transform into two streaks of light that pierced through the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Lord, shattering his body into pieces once more.
The Battle Saint Ancestor said coldly, "Did you truly think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
