For the Ice-Fire Monarch, a Colossus from Antiquity was like a Supreme One to a Great Power—every single trace held ineffable, priceless enlightenment value.
Especially since the Ice-Fire Monarch had been an Ancient Monarch for countless tens of thousands of years, reaching the level of a Peerless Monarch. At this stage, taking even a single step further was exceedingly difficult.
In fact, even other Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Progeny, and Supreme Perfection Supreme Geniuses were the same. Basically, upon reaching the Ancient Monarch level, they could no longer replicate their previous heaven-defying cultivation speed. At this stage, one cultivated Monarch Rules, and each one condensed required a great deal of time.
Throughout the ages, basically all Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Progeny, and Supreme Perfection Supreme Geniuses had halted at the Ancient Monarch level. Some couldn't advance even a step beyond the early-stage Monarch realm.
Upon reaching the Ancient Monarch realm, the power of Supreme One bloodlines was basically ineffective.
Of course, the bloodline power of a Colossus from Antiquity could still manifest terrifying strength, allowing their progeny's cultivation speed to remain fast. But no matter how fast, there was a corresponding limit—it was just somewhat faster than others' cultivation.
To cultivate from an early-stage Monarch to a peak Monarch still required many tens of thousands of years.
Naturally, Ye Chen was an exception. He was far too special. The moment he became an Ancient Monarch, he possessed terrifying combat power rivaling a Peerless Monarch. This was based on him being a Ten Tribulations God King at the Supreme Perfection Supreme Genius level, possessing the Eternal Path and a Primordial Universe. It was also because, all along his journey, he had relied on the various Emperor Dao inheritances he obtained, and even the heaven-defying fortunes left behind by Colossi from Antiquity.
As the saying goes, the times create heroes—it was precisely like this!
The Ice-Fire Monarch was comprehending here, hoping to advance further without wasting the long, drawn-out time needed to condense Monarch Rules bit by bit.
"Alright. You should also be careful. If you encounter any crisis you cannot handle, notify me," Ye Chen said.
The Ice-Fire Monarch was slightly taken aback. If he encountered a crisis he couldn't handle, the Battle Saint King likely couldn't handle it either, as the latter wasn't much stronger than him.
But seeing the confidence in Ye Chen's eyes, he couldn't help but nod, feeling that the strength Ye Chen had displayed was probably just the tip of the iceberg. He likely possessed even more astonishing methods.
Following the cosmic rift, Ye Chen entered the Chaos Sea.
Though called the Chaos Sea, what lay before him still belonged to the Great Emperor battlefield. Because the battlefield was too vast, spanning both inside and outside the Ancient Chaos Universe, part of the battlefield was located within the Chaos Sea.
Ye Chen could sense that the Great Emperor battlefield had formed a unique space-time region, isolated from the outside world. Ordinary people truly couldn't barge in.
Moreover, through the Great Emperor battlefield, he could see the true Chaos Sea surging violently. In reality, this Ancient Chaos Universe was moving, constantly shifting its corresponding coordinates, preventing Supreme Ones and Colossi from Antiquity from locking onto its true coordinates and thus being unable to enter this Ancient Chaos Universe.
"Not simple at all!"
Ye Chen exclaimed in admiration, for he faintly sensed that outside the Ancient Chaos Universe, numerous Supreme One powers were erupting, along with the power of Colossi from Antiquity, pushing the Ancient Chaos Universe's movement and shielding it from the perception of other Supreme Ones.
In the past, the myriad heavens' Supreme Ones had jointly left behind the supreme immortal opportunity named the "Ultimate Supreme One." Afterwards, they exiled the Ancient Chaos Universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located, along with the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, causing them to drift through the Chaos Sea.
To make the myriad heavens' Supreme Ones exert such supreme, great power—what exactly was the "Ultimate Supreme One" they left behind? This made Ye Chen quite curious.
Buzz—
Suddenly, the many Chaos Monarch Rules within his body trembled and hummed, as if resonating with something.
His gaze shifted over and abruptly focused.
He discovered that at the extreme, distant edge of the Great Emperor battlefield in the Chaos Sea, hidden deep within thefilling the skySpace-Time Fragments (scattered space-time fragments), there loomed a half-collapsed Emperor Peak, incomparably massive, with only its upper half visible.
Even so, it was indescribably majestic, vaster than the starry sky, extremely astonishing.
There, an aura that felt extremely familiar to Ye Chen emanated!
"The Emperor Peak of the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign—the missing other half. How could it appear here?" Ye Chen was shocked. He had discovered the lower half at the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign's Traces, never expecting the upper half to be here.
Clang! Clang! Clang!—
Suddenly, uncontrollably, over a million Chaos Monarch Rules surged from Ye Chen's body, flying out beyond his control, transforming into a torrential river of Chaos Monarch Rules that charged toward that upper-half Emperor Peak.
The previously motionless half-section Emperor Peak trembled slightly at this moment.
And this so-called slight tremor was, for the surroundings, an unparalleled great earthquake, affecting the endless space-time fragments with far-reaching consequences. Numerous remnant worlds were shaken apart, revealing an extremely vast vacuum zone.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Almost simultaneously, the upper half of the Emperor Peak also flew out numerous Chaos Monarch Rules—not merely a million, but easily over a hundred million, astonishingly many, transforming into an even more colossal and vast river of rules.
The terrifying river of Chaos Rules encircled the half-section Emperor Peak, constantly vibrating, giving birth to endless Primordial Chaos Qi, and evolving layer upon layer of world heavens and earths, as if reopening the universe, giving birth to the myriad realms and heavens.
Buzz—
Here, a fearsome Great Dao involving Time began to fluctuate, extremely terrifying, even affecting the aspect of Time.
It was the Supreme Perfection Emperor Dao of the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign—the Primordial Beginning Great Dao!
Boom—
The vast river formed from hundreds of millions of Chaos Monarch Rules suddenly resonated with the Primordial Beginning Great Dao, transforming into the unprecedented Primordial Chaos Emperor Dao, violently tearing through the space-time of Ten Thousand Ancient Times.
Separated by an endless distance, far on the other side of the Chaos Sea, within the Pangu Universe, at the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign's Traces, the lower-half Emperor Peak suddenly trembled, tore through space-time, and vanished.
Soon, space-time twisted, and the lower-half Emperor Peak abruptly appeared on this Great Emperor battlefield, astonishing Ye Chen.
It wasn't the same Ancient Chaos Universe, and the coordinates of this Ancient Chaos Universe were unknown, yet it had arrived so quickly.
Rumble—
The upper and lower parts of the Emperor Peak suddenly combined, reuniting into one, transforming back into that Emperor Peak that had suppressed Ten Thousand Ancient Times in the past.
Upon it, the supreme power belonging to the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign surged and flowed, endless Primordial Chaos Qi diffused, and even Time descended, condensing into a River of Years that encircled the Emperor Peak.
In a daze, one could seemingly perceive the name of this Emperor Peak—Primordial Chaos!
Swish! Swish! Swish!—
At this moment, the over a million Chaos Monarch Rules returned to Ye Chen's body. Only now did the aura of the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign completely vanish. These Chaos Monarch Rules finally belonged entirely to Ye Chen.
"Having slumbered for endless eons, have you finally been activated?"
A voice tinged with a trace of vicissitude abruptly resounded throughout this boundless battlefield, affecting space-time.
And at this moment, the Primordial Chaos Emperor Peak shook the entire Great Emperor battlefield, as if becoming its master, radiating the immortal radiance of Ten Thousand Ancient Times.
