"Ten Thousand Ancient Times!"
The Space-Time Emperor made his move, unleashing the Space-Time Emperor Art he relied on to reign supreme throughout the ages, forcibly suppressing and pushing back all the might of space-time.
Of course, the boundless Forbidden Heavenly Thunder could not be pushed back.
Just as he was about to continue his attack, the Supreme Giant shrouded in chaotic energy spoke up to stop him: "No need. Let me handle it."
Boom—
Endless Forbidden Heavenly Thunder descended, carrying an utterly terrifying power of causality, completely submerging the Supreme Giant who had come from the Blood-Stained Future.
This level of Forbidden Heavenly Thunder was something even the various Giants present would regard with extreme caution.
As for Supreme Ones—
To withstand it meant certain death!
For this Forbidden Heavenly Thunder belonged to the highest tier, and the causal power it carried was far beyond imagination. Even beings as powerful as Supreme Ones, who could look down upon all ages, would be unable to resist it.
Allowing the endless Forbidden Heavenly Thunder to submerge him, after a long period, it finally dissipated. The Supreme Giant had endured it, but a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, even a peerless being as powerful as this one, capable of severely wounding colossi from antiquity, had paid a terrible price to cross through time and space to arrive here.
Yet he had succeeded in crossing over. Even though his aura had diminished somewhat, it remained overwhelmingly powerful. Wisps of chaotic aura each seemed capable of evolving into the supreme emperor laws of ten thousand paths, as if a peerless Emperor Supreme had arrived.
Boom—
At the same time, Ye Chen felt the Chaos Dao Art within his body involuntarily circulating, greatly stimulated, as if resonating with the peerless being from the Blood-Stained Future.
At this moment, its circulation speed increased countless times over.
He even sensed that the monarch rules within his body were rapidly evolving.
In just a few short moments, over a hundred had been derived—an utterly astonishing feat.
And the evolution was still intensifying.
Who was this person?
Could it be that man from back then, the one who called him father?
Ye Chen's heart trembled. He felt a sense of bloodline closeness and the resonance of the Chaos Dao Art. His speculation was likely true.
That mysterious man from back then, who called him father, had come from the Blood-Stained Future to block the Tai Sheng Huang of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Had he come again this time?
Indeed, the Supreme Giant shrouded in chaotic energy glanced in Ye Chen's direction, giving him an almost imperceptible nod. His lips moved soundlessly, as if confirming Ye Chen's guess was correct, before quickly looking elsewhere.
He did this to avoid others detecting his connection to Ye Chen, lest it cause trouble.
"A Supreme Giant from the Blood-Stained Future. What is the purpose of his arrival?"
Though the various Giants were wary of the fearsome power of the Supreme Giant shrouded in chaotic energy, he was ultimately not from their same era of time. If he were to take action, no matter how strong he truly was, he would have to pay an unimaginably great price in backlash and consequences.
"Shidai!"
The Supreme Giant who had come from the Blood-Stained Future, his body blazing with terrifying chaotic radiance, took step by step along the River of Time. Unable to leave it, isolated across countless ages, he looked toward Shidai, who resided at the center of the Alien Ancient Universe.
His aura was astonishing, almost tearing through the barrier of the River of Time, as if he truly intended to arrive in this era.
Shidai's expression was calm, or perhaps no one could discern Shidai's expression. Only his eyes, balanced and serene, met the gaze of the Giant from the Blood-Stained Future, not uttering a single word.
"To be honest, I very much want to kill you."
The Supreme Giant spoke, his words overflowing with sky-rending killing intent that could be felt even across the isolation of countless ages. It also made people wonder what Shidai had done to fill this Supreme Giant from the Blood-Stained Future with such murderous desire.
However, upon careful reflection of the countless underhanded deeds Shidai had committed over the ages, it was no surprise. Having colossi from antiquity as enemies was only natural. Moreover, it was not unheard of for colossi from antiquity to fall victim to his schemes, such as the Han Tian Great Emperor of old.
"I very much want to kill you, yet I cannot kill you."
He spoke again.
All present sensed that, isolated across time and space, even the most powerful Giants were powerless. Killing a Great Power would likely be difficult, let alone Shidai, who stood at the absolute peak of the Chaos Sea. It was simply impossible.
But some, like the various Giants and Ye Chen, faintly heard the unspoken implication.
It seemed it wasn't that he couldn't kill Shidai due to the temporal isolation, but that he must not kill him.
Those who caught this implication all had subtle changes in expression. What did these words mean?
Could it be that the mysterious man from the Blood-Stained Future was so powerful he could actually kill Shidai?
Shidai looked at him and said calmly, "You very much want to kill me?"
"Very much so!" said the Supreme Giant, not concealing his killing intent in the slightest.
"I know you very much want to kill me, and I know why you want to kill me," Shidai said slowly. "However, one day, if you understand, if you know everything, if you comprehend the causes and consequences, you will no longer want to kill me."
None present fully understood. What did the words of these two mean, and what kind of relationship existed between them?
Shidai seemed to recognize this Supreme Giant who had come from the Blood-Stained Future, and seemed to know many things—even some profound mysteries that other colossi from antiquity were unaware of, mysteries originating from the Blood-Stained Future.
"What do you mean?"
The Supreme Giant from the Blood-Stained Future pressed, holding an Emperor Sword. The chaotic light around him instantly intensified to its peak, almost breaking free from the River of Time!
Shidai remained silent, offering no answer.
"Since you are unwilling to answer, do not force me to take action myself!"
Boom—
At that moment, the mysterious Supreme Giant immediately acted. With a whoosh, he surged forth from the River of Time.
With a single step, he traversed the barrier of endless void, rushed out of the Origin Ancient Path, crossed the boundless Chaos Sea, entered the Alien Ancient Universe, and charged straight toward Shidai.
"All forces, prepare!"
Within the Alien Ancient Universe, one Supreme One after another was alarmed, all manifesting their majestic Supreme Emperor projections that dominated the starry sky, standing ready in strict formation, fearing an attack from this Supreme Giant who had come from the Blood-Stained Future.
"Hmph!"
The Supreme Giant from the Blood-Stained Future snorted coldly. Though surrounded by the power of time and not truly present in this era, an endless, overwhelming pressure still radiated from him.
That pressure was far beyond that of a Supreme One, like the impact of billions of stellar seas, causing the various Supreme Ones to pale. Their grand and vast Supreme Emperor projections were sent staggering back.
Though not in the same era of time, taking rash action would lead to unpredictable consequences, but releasing pressure was not the same as truly attacking.
"You dare!"
At the center of the Alien Ancient Universe, from within the ancient ancestral temples that had existed since time immemorial, the figures of colossi from antiquity appeared, looking coldly at the Supreme Giant from the Blood-Stained Future. Similarly terrifying auras of the strongest Emperor power emanated from them, clashing with his, like a collision across countless ages.
"What is there that I do not dare!"
The Supreme Giant from the Blood-Stained Future laughed heartily, filled with arrogance. Though his entire body was concealed by chaotic light, his domineering attitude was unmistakable. With a single step spanning who knew how many billions of miles, countless star domains inverted beneath his feet as he broke through theobstruction of the various Supreme Ones and arrived at the center of the universe.
