Chu Shenjun, whose father was a peerless Immortal King in the Primordial Immortal World, a being who had dominated the Immortal World for several epochs, was both immensely powerful and possessed wisdom as deep as the ocean, knowing a great deal.
As the son of an Immortal King, he naturally understood many secrets.
Hearing this, Shen Dizi, Dasheng Xianwangzi, Yu Wudi, and other scions of colossi from antiquity also looked over. Naturally, they had also heard of the name Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor.
They had originally thought that Primordial Beginning Great Emperor and Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor were merely namesakes. In fact, many Great Emperors, upon attaining the Dao and becoming Emperors, were not aware of the other Supreme Emperor names in the Chaos Sea, so duplication was quite normal.
However, generally speaking, Supreme Emperor names were imprinted upon the operating rules of the Chaos Sea. Once a name was chosen, the Chaos Sea's operating rules would prevent duplication, issuing a warning.
On this point, others hadn't considered it, thinking that Primordial Beginning Great Emperor was unaware of Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor's existence, hence the duplication. Now, thinking back, everything had its traces.
They never imagined that Yuanchu Imperial Son was actually the son of Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor.
Yuanchu Imperial Son was not surprised in the least. "I am indeed the son of Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor," he said.
There was no need for denial.
Everyone felt a chill.
Speculation was one thing; knowing was another.
Colossi from antiquity all possessed the heaven-defying ability to look down upon countless ancient epochs and suppress the Chaos Sea. Killing Emperors and supreme immortals was nothing to them.
Inheriting the bloodline of such colossi from antiquity destined one to be far more powerful than imagined.
Even within the realm of Ancient Monarchs, that bloodline power of the colossi from antiquity would continuously provide potential, aiding their advancement, surpassing ordinary people, something that ordinary Supreme scions could not compare to.
As his words fell, suddenly, three terrifying killing intents surged within the Imperial Heaven Hall.
They came from Huang Di, Huang Yao, and the Heaven-Defying Battle King, respectively.
The first two were scions of Great Emperors from the Pangu Universe, harboring immense hatred for alien races.
The latter was from the Heaven-Defying Battle lineage, inheriting the legacy of the Defy Heaven Battle Lord. Even if not from the Pangu Universe, he too harbored immense hatred for alien races.
The various Overlords present watched the four of them but would not intervene.
One less person meant one less powerful competitor to contend with them for the tenth Supreme Divine Crown.
Facing the emergence of the three killing intents, Yuanchu Imperial Son remained unperturbed. The blood energy of his quasi-Emperor body surged, more terrifying than the eruption of a hundred thousand suns, directly confronting the three Ancient Path Overlords. He sneered coldly, "If you truly want to fight, even if the three of you attack together, you might not be able to kill this Imperial Son. Someone might even fall."
"Everyone, please cease. This feast is convened not for you to cross swords, but to discuss important matters," an elderly Ancient Monarch spoke up to persuade them. A full seven or eight Ancient Monarchs acted together, dissolving the killing intents and calming the situation.
In the rear, quasi-Monarchs and God Kings were all as silent as cicadas in winter.
For them, a battle between Ancient Monarchs was undoubtedly a fight between gods. Even the slightest ripple could severely injure them; they could not afford to be careless.
At this moment, Huang Di suddenly let out a cold laugh. "I heard that the Battle Saint King completely expelled all alien races from the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, killing all Imperial Sons and Imperial Daughters. I'm afraid he didn't expect there to be a leftover bastard like you."
Daring to call the scion of a colossus from antiquity a bastard—only an Ancient Path Overlord like Huang Di, and a son of a Great Emperor from the Pangu Universe, would dare.
Yuanchu Imperial Son instantly flew into a rage. "Bastard? You dare blaspheme the scion of a colossus from antiquity as a bastard? You must wish for eternal damnation. Even if your father, the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor, were here, he would never dare say such words."
"Haha, who says my father wouldn't dare?" Huang Di chuckled. "I'll say it on his behalf: bastard!"
Boom—
"This Imperial Son will kill you!" Yuanchu Imperial Son's killing intent erupted. Insulting him was one thing, but insulting his father was absolutely unacceptable, for his father was the eternally invincible Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor.
"Who's afraid of whom?"
Huang Di's aura also surged violently.
Beside him, the Heaven-Defying Battle King's battle energy roiled. "Primordial Beginning Emperor Ancestor? I've heard of him. But would he dare to fight my Grandmaster, the Defy Heaven Battle Lord?"
The Defy Heaven Battle Lord was a standout among colossi from antiquity, peerless in combat power. Throughout history, his offensive power ranked among the foremost, terrifying beyond measure.
Yuanchu Imperial Son swept his gaze over them. "Don't compare a dead man to my father."
"A dead man? You probably don't know that the Battle Saint Ancestor is the reincarnation of the Defy Heaven Battle Lord," the Heaven-Defying Battle King stated bluntly, shocking everyone who heard it.
The Battle Saint Ancestor, whose offensive power was hailed as number one in the Chaos Sea, overshadowing past and present, forcing even colossi from antiquity to avoid hisedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat).
Who would have thought that the Defy Heaven Battle Lord was the Battle Saint Ancestor, and the Battle Saint Ancestor was the Defy Heaven Battle Lord.
At this moment, Tian Jizi smiled. He resembled an elegant scholar, showing not a trace of domineering aura, making people feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. "Yuanchu Imperial Son, don't forget. Your physical body is indeed strong, but back then, the one who seized the Great Emperor's body was none other than the Battle Saint King. Moreover, his achievements in the body refinement lineage are likely something you cannot compare to. Besides, the Battle Saint King is hailed as the second Wuxiang Monarch, overpowering two ancient domains with no match. Do you think you can overpower everyone present here?"
Yuanchu Imperial Son immediately fell silent.
Clearly, he did not think he could achieve that.
Although he intentionally belittled the Battle Saint King, once the Battle Saint King appeared, he couldn't guarantee he could definitely defeat him.
Ultimately, the battle records left by the Battle Saint King back then were too heaven-defying, leaving an indelible impression in everyone's minds. Even now, with the various Ancient Path Overlords having achieved Ancient Monarch status and their cultivation surpassing the past, none dared claim they could truly completely defeat the Battle Saint King.
In fact, the Battle Saint King stood like an eternal monument, difficult to topple.
"Although the Battle Saint King is strong, that was in the past. We too have progressed, grown stronger. If we truly meet, it's not certain who is weaker. I look forward to meeting the Battle Saint King. Of course, I care more about his Chaos Dao Fruit. No one is allowed to snatch it from me." The speaker was the Chaos Overlord. He sat within the first circle, with the four-colored soul light of four quasi-Monarch-level sacred beasts manifesting around him, appearing transcendent and peerlessly powerful.
"Haha, defeating the Battle Saint King isn't your exclusive right. This Imperial Son also has a share," Shen Dizi also spoke up, equally domineering.
Back then, the Battle Saint King had suppressed all Ancient Path Overlords across two ancient domains, his combat power peerless, making all Ancient Path Overlords feel as if they had suffered humiliation.
Now, if the Battle Saint King truly returned, they would inevitably take action, defeat their former nemesis, resolve the disgrace, break through the flaws in their Dao hearts, and stride toward the true peak.
"It seems I have quite a few enemies."
In the rear, Ye Chen listened, merely smiling, then looked toward that lofty Ancient Emperor Dao Platform.
He rose to his full height, startling quite a few people.
Was he about to leave?
The Imperial Heaven Hall was hosting a feast, with the various Ancient Path Overlords still present, not having departed. For a mere quasi-Monarch to dare leave at this time, while not a major issue, carried a slight implication of not regarding the various Ancient Path Overlords with importance.
However, contrary to expectations, Ye Chen did not leave. Instead, he strode forward, step by step, heading toward the second circle, heading toward the first circle, causing people to be suspicious and surprised.
What was the purpose of this flawless young quasi-Monarch?
