In that battle, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor dyed the cosmos with his blood, his Emperor Body pushed to the brink of collapse by Cang Xiong. Of course, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse; the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was, after all, an Ancient Great Emperor. Even in his weakened state, he was not someone Cang Xiong could kill.
In this Supreme-level great battle, Cang Xiong could not emerge unscathed either, paying a considerable price.
In the end, both Cang Xiong and the Heaven Soul Great Emperor were severely wounded.
But Cang Xiong's injuries were less severe than the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's. He endured and pulled through. After that battle, the Soul Forbidden Hall announced that the Heaven Soul Great Emperor had died suddenly, having perished.
At the time, it once shook the great cosmos.
First, the Kunpeng Sovereign perished during his tribulation, then the Heaven Soul Great Emperor also died mysteriously and suddenly. Who could have imagined that the fall of these two Ancient Sovereigns and Emperors held such unknown secrets.
From within the Dark Emperor Hall came a cold snort, with only the aura of an Emperor swirling about. His true form never appeared.
Cang Xiong faced the Dark Emperor Hall and said, "As early as back then, this old man suspected you couldn't have just died so suddenly and abruptly. After all, you were a Great Emperor Supreme. Thinking about it now, you used your 'sudden death' as a cover, hiding in the mortal world all along, watching the storms of the cosmos. I'm afraid you still harbor a heaven-shaking scheme. If this old man guesses correctly, you also want to gather the myriad kingly constitutions of the heavens, collect all kinds of supreme physiques, and attempt to artificially create Chaos True Blood. You wish to transform the Emperor Blood within your body into Chaos Emperor Blood, attempting to become a Chaos Supreme Great Emperor!"
The entire world was shaken!
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor had been lurking in the shadows all along, harboring such a terrifying, unknown secret. For epoch after epoch, he continuously collected the bloodlines of the heavens' talents, even Supreme geniuses, and even had long since set his sights on Chaos cultivators like the Battle Saint King and the Chaos Hegemon, making them an extremely crucial part of his plan.
So, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's fundamental goal, under the guise of openly reviving, was actually to secretly gather ten thousand kinds of Dao Blood into one body, transform it into Chaos Emperor Blood, and become an unprecedented Chaos Great Emperor.
It must be said that only Cang Xiong could have discovered this. He had always been at the Eternal Monarch realm, overlooking the entire cosmos and starry sky for an entire epoch. Every move of the Soul Forbidden Hall was also within his sight, making him understand the Hall's core secrets better than anyone else.
From within the Dark Emperor Hall came a sinister Supreme Emperor might: "Cang Xiong, you meddle too much. I originally didn't want to kill you immediately, but now I have no choice but to act."
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor had been hiding within the Dark Emperor Hall, lying dormant in slumber, using this to seal his own Great Emperor Dao Fruit and prevent the outside world from discovering it. Now that he was discovered, he no longer hid.
Instantly, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor emerged, striding out from the Dark Emperor Hall. His true face was unclear, with only overwhelming Soul Light coiling around his body. That was the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's exclusive Emperor Dao—he had proven his Dao through the Soul Path. His Dark Emperor Hall was his Supreme Emperor Weapon.
Upon his emergence, the headquarters great world was torn asunder, the myriad Daos instantly retreated, and this infinite starry sky revered him alone.
One man stood supreme, with none to rival him.
The myriad races of the starry sky retreated in terror. Such imposing might was far more terrifying than that of the Battle Saint King or the Kunpeng Sovereign.
This was a truly Great Perfection realm Ancient Great Emperor.
Even the Kunpeng Sovereign was far inferior. In the end, the Kunpeng Sovereign had not fully recovered after his tribulation, and his Dao Fruit had not reached its peak level, so he was naturally lacking.
Only Cang Xiong, his seemingly withered and aged body, stood motionless before the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. A dragon may be old, but it still suppresses the nine heavens—it cannot be blasphemed!
This saying described Cang Xiong.
Even if aged, even if his blood energy was exhausted and his sun was setting in the west, he could never be underestimated or looked down upon!
"Cang Xiong, I never imagined you would reach such a state. A pity, you are ultimately old. Die. Dying by this Emperor's hand is your honor. Your Dao Fruit, this Emperor will also develop and expand it, reaching an unprecedented realm of creation in your stead!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor looked at Cang Xiong as if gazing at an incredibly delicious meal, having discerned Cang Xiong's important secret.
This old fellow's accumulation over a lifetime was actually terrifying to such an extent.
If not for his advanced age, if not for his exhausted blood energy and setting sun, he might truly have ruined his important grand scheme.
Cang Xiong smiled: "Heaven Soul, you wanting to kill me is normal. But let me advise you: don't be too greedy, lest it make you pay a heavy price you cannot bear."
"In this world, there is no price this Emperor cannot bear."
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Soul Light shook ten thousand realms and domains, his Emperor might immeasurable as he actively stepped forward to attack Cang Xiong.
This old fellow before him, with his aged exterior, hid within his body a Supreme Dao Fruit that could make any Supreme Great Emperor's heart stir, even drive them mad with envy. It could not be missed.
"Senior!"
The powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path exclaimed in alarm. That was the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, whose fame shook antiquity! Cang Xiong, though strong, might not be able to withstand this Great Perfection peak realm Ancient Great Emperor.
Moreover, having lain dormant in slumber for countless tens of thousands of years, who knew if the Heaven Soul Great Emperor had advanced further?
After all, the countless bloodlines and soul powers the Soul Forbidden Hall had amassed over several epochs were all prepared for the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's revival.
"No matter. This old man also wishes to know to what extent the Heaven Soul Great Emperor has reached!"
Cang Xiong's expression remained unchanged. His decaying, aged body suddenly erupted with a might that shook the great cosmos. At this moment, he seemed not an aged Monarch with his sun setting, but a peerless Great Emperor rising.
This was Cang Xiong, the might of an Eternal Monarch displayed in full. Moreover, he was an Eternal Monarch who had accumulated power for an entire epoch. Who could know how powerful he was now?
"Die!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor's expression was cold, genuine killing intent stirring.
Whoosh—
Soundlessly, Cang Xiong vanished.
He did not confront the Heaven Soul Great Emperor head-on but retreated, startling everyone. It was unexpected.
After all, everyone thought Cang Xiong would inevitably clash directly with the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, but that was not the case.
Cang Xiong retreated far away, instantly moving to the highest point of the cosmic firmament—the place where Ye Chen was having his peak showdown with the Kunpeng Sovereign.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor gave chase. The Dark Emperor Hall soared upwards, and the Eighteen Layers of Hell Emperor Pagoda also shot into the sky, tearing through the heavens beyond the heavens of the cosmic firmament and charging into it.
Within the great cosmic starry sky, the four Supreme-level existences all entered it.
The myriad races of the starry sky, billions of living beings, had no way of knowing what transpired within the cosmic firmament.
They only knew that after a brief pause, an even more terrifying Supreme-level great battle suddenly erupted.
The terrifying fluctuations of the Emperor battle nearly tore apart the cosmic firmament, descending upon the cosmic starry sky, annihilating ten thousand realms, domains, Daos, and living beings.
No one knew what kind of Emperor battle was occurring in the realm of the cosmic firmament. They could only sense the scattered wisps of residual waves, which alone were enough to easily reduce an Emperor Clan to ashes, erasing them from existence.
As for the Soul Forbidden Hall's headquarters great world, though scarred and in ruins, no one continued to attack, for everyone knew the truly crucial point was the peak Emperor battle occurring in the cosmic firmament.
Under the Emperor battle, nothing else mattered.
The cosmic firmament, called the realm beyond the heavens, was the highest point of the entire Chaos Ancient Universe, nearly outside the Chaos Ancient Universe itself, belonging to a region of chaos.
Yet it was also vast and boundless.
If Supremes did not enter a Supreme domain to battle, they would enter the realm beyond the heavens of a Chaos Ancient Universe for a peak showdown.
Infinite, immeasurably vast, it allowed Supremes to unleash themselves fully for a peak battle.
But at this moment, in the realm beyond the heavens, it was not as the world imagined—the Battle Saint King versus the Kunpeng Sovereign, Cang Xiong versus the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
At this moment, Ye Chen, Cang Xiong, and the Kunpeng Sovereign stood side by side, with only the Heaven Soul Great Emperor alone before them.
The latter was surrounded by three Supremes.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor looked sinisterly at the Kunpeng Sovereign and said, "Kunpeng, when did you recover?"
Shockingly, the Kunpeng Sovereign had, at some unknown time, completely regained his sanity. He was no longer Weapon Zero controlled by the Soul Forbidden Hall, but an Ancient Sovereign!
In the past, during a Supreme great battle, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor took advantage of the Kunpeng Sovereign's weakened state after his tribulation to strike, launching a forceful suppression that nearly killed this newly ascended Sovereign. He was suppressed within the Eighteen Layers of Hell Emperor Pagoda, his sanity lost, becoming the Soul Forbidden Hall's absolute forbidden Weapon Zero.
Who could have imagined that not long after emerging, he had actually regained his sanity.
The Soul Path shackles and restraints he had left on the Kunpeng Sovereign's Emperor Soul had been torn apart.
The Kunpeng Sovereign once again radiated the brilliance of a Sovereign!
The current Kunpeng Sovereign no longer had his sky-covering Kunpeng Sovereign body. Instead, he was in human form, with golden hair flowing, sword-like brows and starry eyes—how heroic and peerless! The light in his eyes was sharp enough to sever the myriad Daos as he coldly looked at the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. "Many tens of thousands of years ago, this Sovereign had already broken your Soul Path restraints. Did you think you could truly suppress this Sovereign back then? It was merely this Sovereign going along with your plan, entering your Eighteen Layers of Hell Emperor Pagoda, using your Emperor Pagoda to allow this Sovereign to reach the Great Perfection peak realm."
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor frowned. "With your power alone, you couldn't have deceived this Emperor, nor could you have broken this Emperor's Soul Path shackles and restraints."
He had this confidence. He was most skilled in the Soul Path, and besides, the Kunpeng Sovereign back then had just entered the Sovereign realm. How could he be his match?
Cang Xiong said calmly, "Naturally, with this old man's assistance."
To put it plainly, the Kunpeng Sovereign being suppressed and sealed by the Heaven Soul Great Emperor back then was merely a plan between the two Supremes. Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult for the Heaven Soul Great Emperor to seal the Kunpeng Sovereign.
It must be known that the Kunpeng excelled in speed, and their mastery over space-time was no less than that of the World Tree.
The Kunpeng Sovereign was equivalent to a Sovereign of Space-Time. If hewholeheartedly wanted to escape, it would have been truly difficult for the Heaven Soul Great Emperor to restrain him.
Moreover, Cang Xiong had been watching from the shadows, naturally not letting anything happen to the Kunpeng Sovereign.
The two Supremes, one in the open and one in the dark, dealt with the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was still too terrifying, with extraordinary methods. Both Supremes nearly met with disaster, and the Kunpeng Sovereign was almost killed and perished.
"Good, good, good! You all actually meticulously plotted against this Emperor. Truly audacious! Truly not placing this Emperor in your eyes!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor was also enraged. In his left hand, he grasped the Dark Emperor Hall; in his right, the Eighteen Layers of Hell Emperor Pagoda—Supreme Emperor Weapons he had refined by gathering the profound accumulations of the Soul Forbidden Hall over several epochs. He now attacked violently, furiously engaging the three Supremes.
Boom—
The Kunpeng Sovereign, heroic and vigorous in appearance, looked very young, in his early twenties, with golden hair fluttering, handsome and majestic. But his gaze held the vicissitudes ofSamsaraten thousand lifetimes, having lived for who knew how many tens of thousands of years as a peerless Sovereign.
After nearly an entire epoch ofprecipitation and accumulation, devouring the infinite power within the Eighteen Layers of Hell Emperor Pagoda, soundlessly, he had not only completely recovered from his injuries but also stabilized his Sovereign Dao realm, truly becoming a Great Perfection Sovereign, perfectly flawless in all aspects, reaching the peak of the Sovereign Dao.
At this moment, a Sovereign-grade golden-threaded jade garment appeared on his body, clearly refined from Kunpeng feathers. Behind him was a pair of enormous Kunpeng wings, shining with golden light, clanging as they released billions of layers of golden light sharp swords that pierced through the void.
This was the Kunpeng Sovereign's Sovereign-grade battle armor, also a Sovereign Emperor Weapon!
Clang, clang, clang—
The Kunpeng Sovereign feared nothing, stepping forward to forcefully clash with the Heaven Soul Great Emperor!
At the same time, Ye Chen and Cang Xiong, two alternative Supremes capable of rivaling Great Emperors, flanked him, coordinating with the Kunpeng Sovereign to jointly attack the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
Though the two could rival Ancient Great Emperors, they were ultimately not true Supremes. The true main combatant still needed to be the Kunpeng Sovereign.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen summoned his Chaos Great Cauldron, coordinating with himself to unleash Chaos Dao techniques in a forceful assault.
Cang Xiong let out a light shout, manifesting a Supreme Dharma Form. An infinitely enormous Supreme Dharma Form appeared out of thin air, carrying the great cosmic might, suppressing from above,restrained the ten directions of space-time. Behind him, a hundred palm seals appeared, belonging to the forbidden divine ability he created—Hundred Epochs Supreme!
Similar to the Floating Tu Great Emperor's Thousand-Handed Floating Tu, a hundred palm seals descended comprehensively, terrifying and peerless.
A terrifying, Emperor-Sovereign-level Supreme great battle erupted fully in the realm beyond the heavens, an inestimable great terror.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor's strength exceeded expectations. Simultaneously facing the siege of three Supremes, he remained utterly unflustered. Around his body bloomed billions upon billions of layers of vast Soul Light,derived / manifestedmanifested one after another powerful soul entities and also gave birth to layer upon layer of illusory realms,bewildering all, dreamlike and illusory. Even a Supreme could potentially become lost within.
But the three Supremes attacked with full force. TheDreamlike Secret Realm could hardlyseal and trap the three.
The Dark Emperor Hall and the Eighteen Layers of Hell Emperor Pagoda attacked together, furiously colliding with the three Supremes. Infinite Supreme Emperor Principles bloomed, tearing apart everything.
During the great battle, Ye Chen retreated step by step, his Chaos Saint Body stained with blood for the first time.
Originally, he was only at the peak of the Eternal Monarch realm. He could rival Ancient Great Emperors but had not reached the level of a peak battle. Moreover, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's strength was greater than that of an Emperor-Sovereign like the Kunpeng Sovereign at the Great Perfection peak realm. He was likely a terrifying existence already advancing towards the ancient titans.
Of course, he had not reached the Quasi-Giant level yet; otherwise, the three could not possibly battle him.
The terror of a Quasi-Giant was enough to crush the three Supremes.
"Devour Heaven and Earth!"
The Kunpeng Sovereign roared, a boundless phantom of his true Kunpeng form appearing behind him,blocking out the sky and sun. Rolling Sovereign energyswept through the entire realm beyond the heavens, giving birth to a massive black holecontained / harboredGreat Dao of Space-Time, heavily striking the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
"Billions of Avici Hell Gates!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor snorted coldly. Layer upon layer of Soul Light gave birth to layer upon layer of Hell Gates, billions upon billions of them, colliding with the attack and mutually dispersing.
Simultaneously, the Dark Emperor Hall struck horizontally.
The Kunpeng Sovereign's Kunpeng Sword-Wings behind him struck horizontally. Amidst earth-shattering booms, the Kunpeng Sovereign's figure staggered back. In a direct confrontation, he was slightly inferior to the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
But before the Heaven Soul Great Emperor could press his advantage, the Hundred Epochs Supreme Dharma Form suddenly had its hundred Supreme palm seals fall like lightning, densely packed.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor dared not be careless. Soul Light flashed, drawing out strands of Emperor Dao shackles that intertwined across the realm beyond the heavens, either blocking, entangling, or piercing through,dissipate the attacks of the Hundred Epochs Supreme Dharma Form.
However, Ye Chen seized this moment to attack forcefully. The Chaos Great Cauldron, having accompanied him inExtreme Sublimation over a thousand years, was alsoboundlessly terrifying. It resonated with his Chaos Saint Fist—the forbidden divine ability, Universe Creation!
Pfft—
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor ultimately could not simultaneously withstand three Supremes. Ye Chen's punch sent his figure flying, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His Soul Light dimmed significantly, nearly exposing his true form.
"Only heavily wounded!"
Ye Chen sighed. He had already unleashed a forbidden divine ability, yet it only heavily wounded him, unable to truly effectively shatter the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Emperor Body.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor was furious. Someone who wasn't a true Monarch had attacked and managed to heavily wound him, yet was still disappointed? How detestable.
He swept his gaze over the three Supremes and suddenly roared, "Good, good, good! The three of you join forces to deal with this Emperor. Today, this Emperor will advance his Ten Thousand Ancient Times plan ahead of schedule. Fine! Devouring you all might allow this Emperor to achieve the final great leap, especially you—Battle Saint King!"
He stared at Ye Chen, revealing deep greed. A Chaos Monarch might allow him to smoothly take that final, crucial step.
Boom—
Soul Light exploded,overwhelm the realm beyond the heavens.
Visible to the naked eye, from within the Dark Emperor Hall, suddenly flew out clusters of supremely powerful, radiant Soul Light,transformed into the myriad living beings of the heavens, as if the myriad races had all arrived here.
There were exactly nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clusters.
Most terrifyingly, these nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clusters of Soul Light power were all at the Ancient Monarch level. Within the Soul Light were also wrapped clusters of special bloodline fluctuations—Emperor Clan bloodline power,ancient bloodline power, Kingly bloodline power, Chaos Saint Spirit bloodline power...
Looking across, each kind of bloodline power was actually different. There were even several strands of true Emperor-Sovereign bloodlines, not merely simple Emperor Clan bloodlines, making one's heart palpitate with fear.
The nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clusters of Soul Light and bloodline power were as if the myriad race Sovereigns of the heavens and myriad realms had descended, one Sovereign per race, ten thousand races meaning ten thousand Sovereigns.
Only one short of a neat and complete ten thousand clusters of Sovereign Soul Light and bloodline power!
These Ancient Monarch-level Soul Light and bloodline powers emitted overwhelming oppressive force. Gathered together, even the three Supremes could not suppress them!
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clusters of supreme bloodline power, all at the Ancient Monarch level. Could they all have been killed by the Soul Forbidden Hall!?"
The three Supremes were all shocked and fearful.
But this felt impossible. How difficult was it for Ancient Monarchs to be born? Even in a Chaos Ancient Universe, unless it was one of the strongest like the Alien Chaos Ancient Universe or the Primordial Immortal World, there was only a slight hope of giving birth to so many Ancient Monarchs over numerous epochs.
The Chaos Ancient Universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located, even over several epochs, could absolutely not give birth to ten thousand Ancient Monarchs.
Every Ancient Monarch was a truly universe-dominating peerless powerhouse. In ordinary times when Supremes did not appear and Monarchs were unseen, Ancient Monarchswielded the order of the great cosmos.
Even the various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans could not possess too many Ancient Monarchs, let alone ten thousand.
Therefore, the three Supremes were all astonished. How did the Heaven Soul Great Emperor obtain the Soul Light and bloodline power of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Ancient Monarchs?
Cang Xiong, after all, was an Eternal Monarch who had suppressed two epochs. He had lived the longest,mastered the Ultimate Ancient Path for endless years, and understood much. He took a deep look at these nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clusters of Soul Light and bloodline power and said, "I'm afraid less than one-tenth are genuine Ancient Monarchs. The rest are likely bloodline powers the Heaven Soul Great Emperor collected and then forcibly elevated to the Ancient Monarch level."
Thinking carefully, it was indeed very possible. After all, the realm and all aspects of an Ancient Great Emperor far surpassed the Ancient Monarch level. Elevating the obtained Soul Light and bloodline power to the Ancient Monarch level was not impossible.
But this was also an astonishingly grand scheme. Even for an Ancient Great Emperor to cultivate so many clusters of Soul Light and bloodline power would require an unimaginable price!
"Collecting so much Soul Light and bloodline power... what exactly is the conspiracy of the Soul Forbidden Hall, or rather, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor?"
The three Supremes' expressions were grave. Watching this, they did not slacken for a moment, attacking like thunder, wanting to destroy all the Ancient Monarch-level Soul Light and bloodline power.
Unusual events portend calamity!
"Myriad Race Bloodlines, the Heavens' Cosmos' Strongest Physiques, Ten Thousand Bloodlines Return to Ancestry, Ten Thousand Souls Return to Ancestry, Transform into Chaos!"
A great roar shook antiquity, echoing through past and present across all space-times.
The River of Time manifested. That was the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. Standing upon it, he suddenly spread his arms. Before him, the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine strongest bloodlines and strongest soul powers collected by the Soul Forbidden Hall over various epochs were instantly drawn over, allfocused / sharpenedgathered into one body.
They completely merged into the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Emperor Body, hidden beneath the boundless Soul Light!
Gradually, visible beneath the vast, endless Soul Light, ablurred figure slowly appeared. That was the location of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Emperor Body, humanoid. The nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clusters of Soul Light and bloodline power were madly merging into his true form.
Simultaneously, the Emperor's body began to bloom with unparalleled power, far more terrifying than before.
Wave after wave of supreme and majestic power spread out, causing the Outer Realm to tremble violently, nearly on the verge of exploding, unable to bear the strain.
Even more, this vast fluctuation surged out of the Outer Realm, spreading towards the starry cosmos of the great universe.
The myriad domains of the universe, the ten thousand worlds of the starry sky, billions upon billions of living beings—all shuddered uncontrollably at this moment, powerless to resist that supreme, peerless might.
The people of the world were horrified. What was happening in the Outer Realm to produce such an epoch-defying, boundless fluctuation spreading across the limitless reaches of the cosmos?
Under this power, even the Kunpeng Sovereign, a Great Perfection Peak Sovereign, was utterly suppressed.
Moreover, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's aura was still climbing, continuously soaring.
Every moment, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor grew stronger than the last.
Cycle after cycle, constantly growing more powerful!
The fusion of 9,999 supreme bloodlines and Soul Lights, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was undergoing his most terrifying transformation. His Emperor's body, his Emperor's soul, were giving birth to a special radiance that encompassed the myriad Great Daos of the heavens, seeking to evolve into chaos.
Among them, Ye Chen sensed it most clearly—a vast and majestic aura of the Chaos Great Dao was slowly evolving, supremely powerful.
Within his body, his own Chaos Great Dao felt an unusual resonance.
"Not good! He's evolving, and it's even more likely he'll become a Quasi-Giant!" Ye Chen's expression changed. That aura was all too familiar to him. The Wan Yan Great Emperor he faced in the past was like this, the Human Emperor was like this, and he himself had been like this when borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor was actually about to transcend from the Great Perfection Peak Emperor realm and ascend to the Quasi-Giant level?
Furthermore, he had a feeling that once the Heaven Soul Great Emperor completed his current transformation, he would likely devour him, the Chaos Saint Body, to complete the final step of his metamorphosis.
The consequences were far from optimistic!
"Interrupt his ascension immediately!"
Ye Chen roared, attacking first.
Boom—
At the same time, sparing no cost, his Chaos Supreme Body and Chaos Sovereign Spirit instantly manifested. He executed his strongest Chaos secret art, Three Spirits as One, reaching the ultimate sublimation. His combat power instantly soared to an unprecedented height.
Terrifying, peerless power was contained within one body. At this moment, he seemed to have completely broken through the Sovereign realm, reaching the Eternal Monarch realm.
The myriad Great Daos of the heavens were boiling, submitting to him, mastered by him.
Every pore on his body erupted with unprecedented, blazing radiant light.
A single wisp of this radiant power was enough to easily annihilate an early-stage Ancient Monarch.
Boundless chaos might, in no way inferior to that of an Ancient Great Emperor, rivaling the Kunpeng Sovereign!
Unprecedented, transcendent power that suppressed all ages, grasped within his palm.
This was the supreme combat power of an Eternal Monarch, the absolute power rivaling an Ancient Great Emperor!
"Universe Creation!"
The power after ultimate sublimation was enough for a peak confrontation with a Great Perfection Peak Emperor-level Supreme One. Ye Chen once again unleashed a forbidden divine ability, striking horizontally at the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
This strike was equivalent to an Ancient Great Emperor executing an Emperor's Dao forbidden divine ability, capable of shattering everything!
"Zero Form!"
Cang Xiong shouted. His Hundred Epochs Supreme Dharma Form also unleashed his forbidden divine ability—Zero Form, a terrifying move that reduced everything to zero, his strongest technique.
"Desolate Annihilation!"
The Kunpeng Sovereign also unleashed a forbidden divine ability.
Three Supreme Ones, three forbidden divine abilities, simultaneously blasted towards the Heaven Soul Great Emperor who was undergoing his great ascension.
"He Transforms Ten Thousand Ancient Times!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor roared. At this moment, he had not yet completed his final transformation and naturally could not face them head-on—that would be suicidal.
Instantly, his supreme, invincible Emperor's body and Soul Light all turned illusory. No matter how terrifying the three Supreme Ones' forbidden divine abilities were, he was illusory and invisible, without a true physical existence, and could not be effectively attacked.
It was as if he did not exist in this space-time, not in this era, having gone to an illusory future or returned to become past history—unattackable, only visible!
"It's space-time power!"
The Kunpeng Sovereign's expression turned ugly. As a Kunpeng, his mastery of space-time was no less than that of the World Tree. Moreover, he was a Space-Time Sovereign. In terms of space-time mastery, throughout all ages, aside from the Space-Time Great Emperor, the number one in space-time, no one could surpass him; at most, they could only stand shoulder to shoulder.
But the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's mastery of space-time had actually reached the Emperor's Dao level.
He recalled that after his tribulation when he was suppressed, his blood had stained the starry river, endless Kunpeng Sovereign blood wantonly spilled. He feared it had all been collected by the Heaven Soul Great Emperor later.
Furthermore, during the endless eons of suppression, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor had appeared several times to suppress him and extract Sovereign Dao essence blood from his body. It was likely all secretly studied by the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. Relying on the endless eons, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor had deciphered the mysteries of the Space-Time Great Dao and reached the Emperor's Dao level.
It must be said, from this point of view, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was indeed a figure of great terror.
At this moment, even if the Kunpeng Sovereign could travel to his space-time and find the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's true body, he still could not defeat him, because the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was transforming every moment, growing stronger, infinitely approaching the Quasi-Giant level.
Relying on him alone, a single Sovereign, he was no match for the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
"What should we do?"
The expressions of the three Supreme Ones—Ye Chen, Cang Xiong, and the Kunpeng Sovereign—were extremely grim. The Heaven Soul Great Emperor's sudden transformation was completely beyond imagination.
The Kunpeng Sovereign's expression was ugly: "The Heaven Soul Great Emperor used my Sovereign blood to master the Space-Time Great Dao at the Supreme level. We cannot stop him, cannot defeat him."
"Can't you use the Space-Time Great Dao to pull him back?" Ye Chen said.
"No. His Space-Time Great Dao cancels out mine. At most, I can only get close to him," the Kunpeng Sovereign shook his head. "But the current me is no longer his match!"
"Hahaha—! When this Emperor completes his transformation, it will also be the time you are buried!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor laughed wildly, exceedingly arrogant. At this moment, he calmed his mind, focusing entirely on his transformation.
After a moment of silence, Cang Xiong suddenly said to the Kunpeng Sovereign: "You act. Take this old man over. This old man has a method that might be able to stop his ultimate sublimation."
"What method?"
Ye Chen and the Kunpeng Sovereign looked at Cang Xiong in surprise.
"Devour!" Cang Xiong said calmly, yet it made the two Supreme Ones' hearts pound.
Devour!?
That was a being nearly at the Quasi-Giant level. How could he be devoured?
Even a Great Perfection Peak Sovereign like the Kunpeng Sovereign would die without a doubt if he devoured him, exploding from within.
"Senior, you must not! Once you devour the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, you will surely die," the Kunpeng Sovereign said with great respect for Cang Xiong. If not for him, he could not have proven his Dao and become a Sovereign, nor could he have survived the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's attacks.
Now, how could he watch such a respectable elder go to his death? Even though Cang Xiong was old and frail, his lifeblood dried up, with not many years left to live, it was absolutely unacceptable.
Cang Xiong said: "It's fine. This old man has only a few years left to live anyway. My lifeblood is dried up, I cannot achieve ultimate sublimation and prove my Dao to become an Emperor. Dying doesn't matter; at least I can stop a great disaster from being born. Besides, it's not certain it will cause this old man's demise. Kunpeng Sovereign, take this old man there."
The Kunpeng Sovereign knew Cang Xiong's mind was made up and could not be refused. He sighed softly: "Alright."
"Take me too," Ye Chen suddenly said.
The Kunpeng Sovereign glanced at Ye Chen and nodded: "Good!"
The Space-Time Great Dao operated, breaking through the illusory. The Kunpeng Sovereign brought the two, traversing the barriers of layer upon layer of space-time, arriving before the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
Unfortunately, that was all they could do. Because the presence of Ye Chen and Cang Xiong required the Kunpeng Sovereign's constant Space-Time Great Dao empowerment to face the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. Otherwise, once the empowerment was lost, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Space-Time Great Dao would directly repel the two back to reality.
Knowing this, the three Supreme Ones did not waste effort attacking.
"Hahaha, well done! The three of you are enough for this Emperor to complete the final step, even to become a colossus from antiquity, proving the Dao of Chaos!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor looked at the three as if they were delicious food, charging over instead.
The Kunpeng Sovereign's expression changed, about to take the two and leave. At that moment, Ye Chen roared: "Ten Thousand Ancient Times Turn to Void!"
The Reincarnation Great Emperor's forbidden divine ability!
Executed by Ye Chen in his Three Spirits as One, ultimate sublimation state, it was no different from a true Ancient Great Emperor executing it. Even the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was caught off guard, the myriad Daos around him briefly vanishing.
Including the Space-Time Great Dao.
Before them, the void where the four Supreme Ones were became a complete vacuum!
The myriad Daos were gone, only flesh and Soul Light remained!
Cough—
Ye Chen coughed up a large mouthful of blood. Executing this against a terrifying existence nearly at the Quasi-Giant level, even as powerful as he was now, he suffered immense backlash.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor looked coldly at the three: "Even if the myriad Daos are dispersed, this Emperor still stands above you all, still invincible in the world, still breaking through!"
That's right! The fusion of myriad supreme bloodlines, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor was still transforming, difficult to stop!
Every moment, he advanced a step further, constantly growing stronger.
His Emperor's body, Emperor's soul, spread with chaos light.
Ye Chen watched with his heart pounding. The Heaven Soul Great Emperor was actually trying to condense myriad supreme bloodlines and soul power to forcibly make himself a chaos cultivator, then prove the Dao of Chaos in one fell swoop?
Although he felt the possibility of proving the Dao of Chaos was low—even a colossus from antiquity like Tai Sheng Huang could not truly prove the Dao with Great Perfection Chaos, let alone the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, who was far inferior to Tai Sheng Huang.
But even so, he had a feeling that even if he couldn't prove the Dao of Chaos, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor would certainly be able to transcend his current Emperor realm level, becoming a Quasi-Giant, even entering the ranks of supreme colossi.
At that step, even the three Supreme Ones would be in mortal danger!
"Stop him!"
The Kunpeng Sovereign's expression was indifferent, his full head of golden hair flowing, Emperor's Dao Sovereign might rippling.
Although he had briefly lost mastery of the Emperor's Dao, he was after all a Great Perfection Sovereign. His Sovereign body and Sovereign soul were genuine, and the Kunpeng Battle Armor could still be used—it was a Sovereign Dao Emperor weapon. He frantically attacked the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, trying to block his continued transformation and sublimation.
"Scram!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor coldly snorted. His half-transformed Emperor's body fiercely slammed over. Much more powerful force violently blasted the Kunpeng Sovereign away, making even the Kunpeng Battle Armor unable to withstand it. The heavy, nearly Quasi-Giant-level mighty force acted upon him, causing the Kunpeng Sovereign to cough up mouthful after mouthful of blood incessantly.
Boom—
Boom—
At that moment, Ye Chen executed the Battle Saint Technique, hailed as number one in offensive power within the Chaos Sea, striking horizontally.
Only he, as the executor of "Ten Thousand Ancient Times Turn to Void," could maintain the operation of the Great Dao.
Above his head, the Five Elements Emperor Stars revolved. Formless Supreme Emperor power surged and poured out, layer upon layer submerging the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. Thousands upon thousands of layers in an instant, fiercely slamming into the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, causing this Great Emperor to cough blood, unable to remain completely unscathed.
Cang Xiong, as an Eternal Monarch, though inferior to the Kunpeng Sovereign, at this moment, a unique aura of the Eternal Path emanated from within him. He actually executed a portion of Supreme-level Great Dao power, also attacking the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
Whoosh—
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor's figure was sent flying, falling from the unknown space-time evolved from his Emperor-level Space-Time Great Dao, spilling a great amount of Emperor's blood.
His ultimate sublimation ascension had been forcibly interrupted.
"You!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor was furious. Unparalleled power overflowed. The myriad Daos dispersed by "Ten Thousand Ancient Times Turn to Void" were gradually returning. His Emperor's Dao slowly manifested, about to return to his control once more.
At that moment, Ye Chen and Cang Xiong exchanged a glance. Ye Chen said solemnly: "Senior, begin!"
"Hahaha, good!"
Cang Xiong laughed heartily. At this moment, his entire body shone with light. His old, withered figure seemed to regress to his youth, returning to his younger days. His entire person bloomed with unprecedented blazing radiance as he plunged headfirst into the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's boundless Soul Light.
On the other side, Ye Chen did the same, laughing loudly: "Heaven Soul Great Emperor, you want to devour us to become your great supplement for ascension. Similarly, today you will also become Senior Cang Xiong's and my great supplement for ascension!"
"Today, I will counter-devour you, letting me take the final step to become the strongest Eternal Monarch!"
Boom—
Ye Chen fiercely crashed into the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Soul Light.
The two Supreme Ones, disregarding their own safety, bodies nearly burning, crashed into the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Soul Light and flesh and blood, directly causing the Heaven Soul Great Emperor to nearly explode, vast amounts of Emperor's blood spraying out.
Sky-Shaking Hand!
Heaven-Severing Finger!
World-Suppressing Seal!
Universe Creation!
...
Frantically, in an instant, Ye Chen unleashed all the strongest divine abilities he had mastered in his lifetime. The Heaven Soul Great Emperor simply couldn't stop it. With a deafening boom, half of his Emperor's body and Soul Light exploded, suffering terrible heavy injuries.
At this moment, Ye Chen almost fell from his "Three Spirits as One" state. Taking a deep breath, he grabbed the various flesh, blood, and Soul Light of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor before him and directly devoured it.
That's right—devoured!
Frantically devouring everything of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor.
Simultaneously, the Emperor's World and complete Emperor's Dao origin within his Great Emperor reincarnation body were all devoured at this moment, pushing him at the peak Eternal Sovereign realm to take a step further, taking that final, crucial step!
On the other side, Cang Xiong laughed heartily. His aged body instantly transformed into a majestic form spanning billions of miles. He also acted frantically, tearing apart piece after piece of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's flesh, blood, and Soul Light, opening his mouth to devour it.
Vast, indescribably infinite power wantonly bloomed within their bodies.
Under the Kunpeng Sovereign's shocked gaze, both Cang Xiong and Ye Chen were frantically devouring the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's power.
A supreme existence nearly at the Quasi-Giant level had become a great supplement for the two. Infinite power was being devoured and absorbed—unbelievable.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor roared incessantly, but restricted by the forbidden divine ability "Ten Thousand Ancient Times Turn to Void," he could not use absolute force to blast the two away in a short time.
His Emperor's body shook, about to attack, but the Kunpeng Sovereign frantically charged forward, embracing this terrifying Emperor's body nearly at the Quasi-Giant level. The Kunpeng Battle Armor clanged and sang, shining with billions of layers of sharp sword light. The massive Kunpeng sword wings behind him enveloped the Emperor's body. No matter how much Sovereign blood he coughed, he held on tightly, refusing to let go.
"No—! You bastards!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor could not struggle free, only able to watch all this helplessly, roaring madly, struggling frantically to break free and kill these damned three Supreme Ones.
To no avail!
Soon, the power of the forbidden divine ability "Ten Thousand Ancient Times Turn to Void" faded. The Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Emperor's Dao power gradually recovered. He looked coldly at the Kunpeng Sovereign, then at Ye Chen and Cang Xiong, saying coldly: "Prepare to die."
Boom—
But the expected blasting away of the Kunpeng Sovereign, repelling Ye Chen and Cang Xiong did not happen.
Because, the moment his Emperor's Dao recovered, the Kunpeng Sovereign also fiercely crashed into the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's body. The power of the Space-Time Great Dao erupted wildly,restrainedeverything, also making it difficult for the Heaven Soul Great Emperor to struggle, suppressed.
The Space-Time Great Dao transformed into a terrifying devouring force. He too was frantically devouring the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's power.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor, already having had large amounts of power devoured by Ye Chen and Cang Xiong, was even weaker, having fallen considerably.
The three Supreme Ones, within the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's body, frantically devoured and seized the vast power of this supreme powerhouse about to become a Quasi-Giant.
Visible to the naked eye, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's power was severely devoured. Not only could he not successfully become a Quasi-Giant, on the contrary, his aura rapidly plummeted, continuously falling.
This made even the Heaven Soul Great Emperor panic, roaring incessantly: "No! This Emperor is the peerless, invincible Heaven Soul Great Emperor of Ten Thousand Ancient Times! How can I be devoured by others? Get away from me, all of you!"
Terrifying Emperor's Dao power continuously erupted, wanting to expel the three Supreme Ones from within his body, but it was simply impossible. His power had now seriously declined, unable to effectively expel the three.
Simultaneously, the power within his body was rapidly draining away, devoured by the three.
Fortunately, the three were devouring simultaneously. Otherwise, any one of them alone would be unable to devour such vast power and would inevitably explode and die.
The joint devouring of the three instead became a special kind of balance.
The pitiful Heaven Soul Great Emperor, utterly powerless to break free, wastightlyrestraints / bindingsbound、restriction / limitrestrained by the three Supreme Ones, becoming a sacrificial offering. His infinite power became a supplement for the three, wantonly plundered and devoured by them.
This devouring went on for an unknown length of time.
Nor was it known exactly how much time passed before Ye Chen was the first to separate from the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's body.
At this moment, he had devoured enough Soul Light and myriad supreme bloodline power. He had also torn off a part of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's Emperor's body, even part of his Emperor's Dao origin. He had even taken some of the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit—truly a comprehensive plundering of a portion, refining it within his body.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor, who had collected the myriad strongest bloodlines and Soul Lights of the heavens, seeking to take a shortcut to prove the Dao of Chaos, had instead worked for another's benefit, providing ample nourishment for Ye Chen's promotion to Eternal Monarch.
Originally, Ye Chen was at the peak Eternal Sovereign realm, unable to advance further. The next step was promotion to Monarch.
Coupled with the complete Emperor's Dao origin and the vast new Emperor's World fused from two Emperor's Worlds, combined with all this, he completely broke through the barrier. His entire being stepped thoroughly into the Monarch realm!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Ye Chen's body radiated light. Every inch of his flesh erupted with unprecedented chaos radiance, like rounds of chaos suns branded within his flesh and blood. The rules of myriad Daos manifested, displaying his supreme, majestic myriad Daos chaos power.
Every moment, he was transforming, sublimating.
It was a transformation of life level!
The transformation of an Ancient Sovereign breaking through to Monarch!
However, Ye Chen's breakthrough was completely different from that of an ordinary Ancient Sovereign breaking through to Monarch.
Ordinary Sovereigns, after the Divine King stage completing the Heavenly Dao to perfection, the Sovereign stage had ten levels, climbing one level at a time.
But Ye Chen had advanced from Eternal Quasi-Sovereign. Moreover, his Divine King period was the special Ten Tribulations Great Perfection Supreme Genius. All of this proved hisspecial nature / unique properties. During the Eternal Sovereign period, he no longer had the specific division of ten levels.
He could only rely on his own perception to know the boundaries.
Furthermore, once he broke through to the Eternal Sovereign realm, he reached a level comparable to a peerless Sovereign.
At the peak Eternal Sovereign realm, he could even rival an ordinary Eternal Monarch like Tai Chu Di Jun, who could challenge an Ancient Great Emperor.
Now, as he broke through from Eternal Sovereign to Eternal Monarch, he did not directly leap to completion like an ordinary promotion to Monarch, nor did the most terrifying Monarch Great Tribulation descend.
Everything seemed silent.
The transformation was proceeding, the sublimation continuing, not happening in a short time.
Every moment, cells in every aspect were leaping and transforming.
Ye Chen estimated that to completely advance to Eternal Monarch, it would likely require a period of ultimate sublimation, not something achieved overnight.
"Perhaps it will take a month to completely finish the transformation of life level, to truly become an Eternal Monarch!"
In any case, his life level was beingreassemble, receivingBrand new / Completely new's sublimation (sublimation/elevation, as in refinement or upgrade), becoming more perfect, more flawless, more complete!
At the same time, Ye Chen saw that Cang Xiong and the Kunpeng Sovereign were still devouring the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. But soon, the Kunpeng Sovereign finished devouring. The amount he devoured was similar to Ye Chen's.
Most was left for Cang Xiong.
Because, whether it was Ye Chen or the Kunpeng Sovereign, their limits meant they could not devour too much. Moreover, Cang Xiong was too old, frail with dried-up lifeblood. They both hoped he would devour all of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, enabling him to make the final breakthrough, shattering the limits to prove his Dao and become an Emperor.
"No—!"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor roared, filled with rage, yet also seeming so helpless, unable to struggle.
"No—"
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor roared, filled with fury, yet it seemed so helpless, so incapable of struggle.
After a prolonged period of devouring by the three Supreme Ones, he had become incomparably weak, a far cry from his former self.
To be safe, Ye Chen and the Kunpeng Sovereign took action, suppressing the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, rendering him incapable of struggle. They even began to slowly grind away at his Emperor's True Spirit, weakening his resistance, leaving him passively at the mercy of Cang Xiong's devouring.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cang Xiong's aged body simply could not contain such vast, boundless Emperor-level power. It began to crumble inch by inch, turning to charcoal, descending into a state of withering extinction.
Yet, both Ye Chen and the Kunpeng Sovereign discovered that Cang Xiong was undergoing a startling transformation.
His aged body, seemingly crumbling and being destroyed, was in truth also undergoing a rebirth through destruction.
To be reborn, one must first die!
A majestic force of life, belonging to the Emperor-level, was slowly reviving within the seemingly extinguished old frame, repairing all injuries, even filling Cang Xiong with a brand-new vitality.
Unbeknownst to them, Cang Xiong gradually devoured everything that originally belonged to the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. Both Ye Chen and the Kunpeng Sovereign could clearly see that within the former's body, a supreme Dao Fruit was gradually becoming plump, ready to bloom at any moment.
This was no ordinary supreme Dao Fruit, nor even a Great Emperor's Dao Fruit. The aura it radiated was even more astonishing than the Kunpeng Sovereign's own Sovereign Dao Fruit, reaching through heaven and earth, influencing the myriad realms of the cosmos.
Ye Chen felt it even more keenly, for that supreme Dao Fruit was emanating a majestic aura belonging to the Path of Eternity, surpassing even his own. It represented Cang Xiong's accumulation over a full epoch since becoming an Eternal Monarch.
Cang Xiong harbored grand ambitions. He did not wish to simply prove his Dao and become an Emperor. Instead, he hoped that one day, after sufficient accumulation, he could charge directly into the realm of the Supreme Giants.
This supreme Dao Fruit represented his profound accumulation over an epoch.
However, his aged body, withered of blood and qi, was like soil for planting flowers—unable to provide enough nutrients for this supreme Dao Fruit to be nurtured, to grow, to bloom.
Now, having devoured the Heaven Soul Great Emperor's power and transformed it into majestic nutrients, his flesh-and-blood body was regaining its vitality, providing for his supreme Dao Fruit to advance further, truly beginning to bloom.
Involuntarily, a trace of greed also arose in Ye Chen's heart.
He had a peculiar premonition: if he devoured this supreme Dao Fruit, he would not only become an Eternal Monarch, but could even propel himself instantly to the peak of the Eternal Monarch realm, or possibly even higher.
By then, it wouldn't be a simple matter of a peak confrontation with an Ancient Great Emperor; perhaps he could rival a Quasi-Giant level existence.
But soon, Ye Chen forcibly suppressed this thought.
How could he seize the supreme Dao Fruit that represented the life's work of such a venerable, lamentable senior?
Moreover, the complete leap in life level was imminent. The Eternal Monarch was in transition. Within a month, everything would be reorganized, culminating in ultimate sublimation, achieving the status of an invincible, supreme Eternal Monarch!
Ye Chen sat cross-legged, silently awaiting the end of the ultimate sublimation.
The Kunpeng Sovereign was also digesting the infinite power he had devoured from the Heaven Soul Great Emperor. While it couldn't make him a Quasi-Giant, it was enough to deepen his accumulation further. One day, with sufficient accumulation, he could break through the limits, leap upwards, and ascend to a higher level.
Silently, Cang Xiong evolved a cocoon of light, enveloping himself. The aura of the Great Dao was turning inward, the light cocoon sealing everything away.
This concerned the leap in life level, the ultimate sublimation of the Great Dao. Neither Ye Chen nor the Kunpeng Sovereign could guess how long it would take for Cang Xiong's transformation to succeed.
For some unknown reason, Ye Chen felt a sense of foreboding.
He looked beyond the extraterrestrial realm, beyond the cosmic barrier.
At this moment, fortune touched his spirit. In the unseen depths, he glimpsed a peculiar scene.
The Ten Imperial Passes had been breached. Countless great domains among the myriad realms of the cosmos had collapsed.
The original Immortal Heavenly Pass, Imperial City, and Sovereign Extreme Soaring Hall had transformed into a new ancient pass.
The Human Emperor slumbered. The Golden Crow Great Emperor, Formless Sovereign, Profound God Great Emperor, and Tai Chu Monarch—four supreme Monarchs—stood firm upon the ancient pass, covered in blood, guarding the Pangu Universe.
It was purely a scene that floated into his mind from the unseen depths, inconceivable.
*Not good! Something has happened in the Pangu Universe!*
Ye Chen's expression darkened. He looked at Cang Xiong, took a deep breath, and made a bold decision.
With a flick of his finger, the Primordial Chaos Long River flew out, enveloping the Great Dao light cocoon evolved by Cang Xiong. Vast and mighty, it caused the flow of time within that region to become hundreds of times faster than the outside world.
One year inside was equivalent to one day outside.
The Kunpeng Sovereign was astonished, for he sensed the power of Time from the Primordial Chaos Long River. "Battle Saint King, where did you obtain such a supreme treasure?"
Although he was a Sovereign of Space-Time, forging such a River of Time would also require a considerable price.
Ye Chen said, "This is a segment of the Primordial Chaos Long River condensed by a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant of my Pangu Universe, the Primordial Chaos Imperial Venerable. It can alter the flow of time. I was fortunate to obtain a small segment of it in the past."
The Kunpeng Sovereign marveled. He had long heard of the Pangu Universe, which was extremely prosperous and powerful during the Mythical Epoch. It was only natural that such a Supreme Giant was born there, especially since the foremost figure of Space-Time, the Space-Time Great Emperor, was also born in the Pangu Universe.
But he frowned. "Why are you enveloping Senior Cang Xiong's area and changing the time flow like this? Especially since Senior Cang Xiong is a peerless existence on the verge of transcendence. Altering the time flow like this will cause this Primordial Chaos Long River to be completely depleted in a matter of days. It's a remarkable river treasure after all. You should retrieve it quickly. Time means little to beings like us anyway."
Upon reaching the Supreme One realm, years could not decay them. The meaning of time became more directly pale, utterly worthless.
Therefore, the Kunpeng Sovereign felt Ye Chen's actions were quite wasteful.
Ye Chen shook his head. "Senior, you are unaware. I have sensed from the unseen depths that a terrible disaster is occurring in the Pangu Universe. I hope to return soon. Similarly, I also hope to invite Senior Cang Xiong to return. If he can ascend to the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level, he could guard and stabilize my Pangu Universe for many tens of thousands of years."
The Kunpeng Sovereign evidently knew a thing or two about the Pangu Universe. He nodded silently, but his brow remained furrowed. "That may be so, but Senior Cang Xiong's transformation and sublimation, even with the support of the Primordial Chaos Long River, likely won't be completely successful in a short time. Here's what we'll do: I will also unleash the Great Dao of Space-Time, coordinating with this Primordial Chaos Long River to increase the time flow by another hundredfold. That way, a hundred years within that region will be equivalent to one day outside."
Ye Chen expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your assistance, Senior!"
"Between you and me, we are both Supreme Ones. Moreover, once your ultimate sublimation succeeds, you will no longer be simply challenging Ancient Great Emperors, but truly capable of peak confrontations with them, life-and-death battles. As fellow Supreme Ones, we should address each other as Fellow Daoists."
Clearly, the Kunpeng Sovereign held Ye Chen in high regard. Such a being with limitless potential was someone he was willing to befriend.
Boom—
Infinite, majestic power of the Space-Time Great Dao instantly acted upon this extraterrestrial realm, coordinating with the Primordial Chaos Long River. The flow of time within increased by another hundredfold.
This was only possible because it was the Kunpeng Sovereign, inherently proficient in the Space-Time Great Dao. If it were any other Ancient Great Emperor, even if they grasped the Space-Time Great Dao, it would be difficult to achieve his level, accelerating time by a hundredfold.
One day, two days…
Time passed swiftly, but within the Primordial Chaos Long River, a hundred years equaled one day outside.
Similarly, maintaining the transformation of a Supreme One-level being accelerated the depletion of the Primordial Chaos Long River. Gradually, more than half of it was consumed.
Ye Chen's ultimate sublimation continued, over ninety percent complete, with only the final portion remaining.
Both his Chaos Saint Body and Chaos Saint Soul underwent comprehensive transformation and sublimation, becoming more complete and perfect, without the slightest flaw.
Silently, his aura became even more restrained.
Although the Primordial Chaos Long River could allow Ye Chen's transformation to complete, he did not do so. The transformation of one Supreme One was astonishing enough; with two Supreme Ones, the Primordial Chaos Long River might not even last until the day Cang Xiong emerged from his cocoon.
Finally, on the twenty-ninth day.
The Primordial Chaos Long River encircling the extraterrestrial realm was completely depleted.
The Kunpeng Sovereign's Space-Time Great Dao also gradually dissipated.
At the same time, the hazy light cocoon located in the extraterrestrial realm slowly dimmed. *Crack!* Rapidly, a web of fissures appeared.
Subsequently, dense, countless fissures spread across the entire light cocoon.
This was the Great Dao light cocoon condensed by Cang Xiong. Over these years, Cang Xiong had devoured over seventy percent of everything belonging to the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, undergoing cocoon transformation. He was about to complete his metamorphosis, even faster than Ye Chen.
Of course, this was also thanks to the Primordial Chaos Long River. One year inside equaled one day outside; now it was as if he had undergone transformation for twenty-nine hundred years.
Waves of immeasurable, majestic power shook the extraterrestrial realm, penetrated beyond it, influenced the vast cosmic starry sky, and shook past, present, and future.
Faintly, the River of Time manifested! Boundless power startled all ages!
The myriad Daos of the cosmos all submitted. Even the Emperor Dao and Sovereign Dao imprints left behind by the Ancient Great Emperors once born in this cosmic starry sky trembled at this moment, as if encountering a higher-level existence, trembling and submitting.
At this time, Tai Wuji, who had returned to the Ultimate Ancient Path at some unknown time, appeared in the main world headquarters of the Soul Forbidden Hall. Leading the powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path, he confronted the Soul Forbidden Hall, led and garrisoned by the First Imperial Emissary on the other side.
The emergence of this aura naturally startled the two Monarchs.
Tai Wuji looked up, sensing a trace of familiar aura. He exclaimed joyfully, "Could it be that Master has made a breakthrough?"
On the other side, the First Imperial Emissary also sensed faint, familiar strands of Great Emperor aura. He was both shocked and delighted. "Has His Majesty succeeded in his transformation?"
Both Monarchs believed it was their own Supreme One who had made a major breakthrough.
However, that aura was too supreme, still suppressing even the Supreme Ones, lofty and exalted, towering over the myriad heavens, making it impossible for them to accurately sense whether its owner was the person they imagined!
"The transformation is complete. Ultimate sublimation is imminent. He will break through and stand!"
The Kunpeng Sovereign murmured softly. Ye Chen also watched unblinkingly.
Boom—
In the extraterrestrial realm, the Great Dao light cocoon exploded violently. A majestic imperial light suddenly shot into the sky, even piercing through the extraterrestrial realm, piercing through the cosmic barrier, and penetrating the Chaos Sea beyond.
Infinite fragments of the light cocoon flew in all directions, each containing boundless power capable of slaying Monarch-level existences.
The extraterrestrial realm was in violent turmoil, nearly exploding.
Cosmic laws retreated. The myriad Daos of the cosmos were on the verge of disintegration.
Ye Chen and the Kunpeng Sovereign felt immense pressure bearing down on them. They were both shocked and delighted, for as imagined, Cang Xiong had achieved his greatest breakthrough, undergoing ultimate sublimation to stand, ready to prove his Dao and become an Emperor.
Moreover, it certainly wouldn't be an ordinary proof of Dao and ascension to Emperor. Perhaps he would directly ascend to the realm of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants!
Boom—
The myriad Daos trembled. Even Supreme Ones shuddered. In the center of the shattered Great Dao light cocoon, within infinite, blazing light, a figure of peerless grace and bearing stood tall. It was impossible to describe how majestic he was. One only knew his shoulders could prop up the myriad heavens, his single hand could hold up the sky, his step could suppress the eighteen layers of hell, and his eyes could pierce through past, present, and future.
His face, cold and handsome as if carved by a knife, was resolute and heroic. His head full of silver-white hair shimmered with brilliant light, containing terrifying Emperor Principles. Each strand seemed to represent a Supreme Dao.
His full head of silver hair was like the condensation of the myriad Daos of the cosmos—the supreme Supreme One!
He was Cang Xiong!
No longer aged as before, he had returned to youth, reappearing in his former heroic form!
Today, Cang Xiong would prove his Dao and become an Emperor, charging towards the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants!
"Hahaha! I, Cang Xiong, have finally become a Supreme One! Now, I shall break through and ascend, reaching the strongest imperial realm of the Giants of past and present!"
Cang Xiong laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the extraterrestrial realm, spreading across the great cosmos, the boundless myriad domains, the starry realms, causing billions of living beings to tremble under the dominating aura of the universe's master.
Within the main world headquarters, on the side of the Ultimate Ancient Path, Tai Wuji wept with joy.
His master had truly broken through, about to prove his Dao and become an Emperor, even aspiring to claim the position of a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant.
The First Imperial Emissary's face turned pale. The supreme Heaven Soul Great Emperor had actually failed.
Boom—
Cang Xiong's spirit soared, his heroic bearing bursting forth, as if he could raise his hand and shatter the myriad realms of the cosmos.
Above his crown, majestic imperial light continuously shot into the sky, actively summoning the Emperor Tribulation.
Today, he had returned to the peak of his prime, with matchless blood and qi, surpassing all past and present. Why fear the threat of the Emperor Tribulation? His Eternal Monarch Dao Fruit was perfect and flawless, about to bloom grandly. The flower of immortality was about to blossom.
He would transcend the Emperor Tribulation, achieve complete perfection, and prove his Dao to become an Emperor!
As the imperial light shot into the sky, tearing through the great cosmos, it instantly descended upon the Chaos Sea. In a territory unknown to any, he contended with an incomparably terrifying tribulation.
Cang Xiong was not contending with an ordinary Supreme Emperor Tribulation, but the most terrifying Emperor Tribulation belonging to his Supreme Giant level—boundless and horrifying. If it fell within this Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe, the unparalleled tribulation light would be enough to annihilate myriad worlds, domains, beings, and races, causing unimaginable carnage.
This was his home universe; naturally, he could not allow such wanton slaughter of its beings.
Only the Chaos Sea was where he should undergo his tribulation.
Boundless and limitless, he could undergo his tribulation freely.
The strongest imperial sound shook past, present, and future!
Cang Xiong leaped upwards. The Eternal Monarch Dao Fruit he had accumulated for a full epoch bloomed completely, enveloping himself. He underwent ultimate sublimation to stand, breaking through the tribulation and ascending.
The cosmic barrier closed silently. No one knew the time outside, but the Supreme Giant Tribulation was so terrifying that even with the obstruction of the great cosmos, one could still occasionally sense that extreme, terrifying destructive fluctuation.
Even Ye Chen, even the Kunpeng Sovereign, trembled slightly before the faintly transmitted Emperor Tribulation.
To be precise, Supreme Ones do not feel fear; the Great Dao is emotionless, their state of mind indifferent. But the sheer magnitude and terror of this Emperor Tribulation made Supreme Ones instinctively sense a life-and-death crisis.
If they were the ones contending with it, they would undoubtedly perish.
It was equivalent to an Ancient Monarch attempting to contend with an Emperor Tribulation—undoubtedly like a moth flying into a flame, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Naturally, there was more joy. Once the tribulation was complete, Cang Xiong would thoroughly break through and stand, becoming a Supreme Giant overlooking past, present, and future.
Especially for Ye Chen, having glimpsed that tragic scene of the Pangu Universe from the unseen depths, he urgently hoped for a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant to garrison it. That way, even the most terrifying enemies would have to show some caution.
The terrifying Emperor Tribulation, moreover a Giant Tribulation, was infinite and boundless, with far-reaching influence.
Within the Chaos Sea, though vast and boundless enough that a Supreme One could not set foot in every corner even with a lifetime of effort, many were still startled.
After all, this was not the tribulation and sublimation of an Ancient Great Emperor, but the birth of a Supreme Giant, an existence capable of influencing past, present, and future.
For how many tens of thousands of years, even one or two epochs, a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant might not be born.
Today, the birth of one naturally shook past and present, attracting much attention.
In fact, many Ancient Sovereigns and Great Emperors, Supreme Immortals, were secretly observing from afar. Even Quasi-Giants were peering greedily.
Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants could not sit idly by, watching from afar.
A Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant, after undergoing tribulation, would be at his weakest stage. At this time, his Giant Dao Fruit was most easily seized.
A Giant's Dao Fruit, Origin Imprint, Origin Essence Blood, and so on were all priceless treasures. Even other Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants could not simply ignore them.
For Quasi-Giants, these were things that could drive them mad with desire. Once obtained, they could smoothly take the final step and become true Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants.
After all, throughout history, who knows how many Quasi-Giants never truly took that step, remaining Quasi-Giants for their entire lives.
The leap from Quasi-Giant to Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant was far more hopeless than a Monarch proving his Dao to become an Emperor.
If a Monarch still had a twenty to thirty percent chance, then a Quasi-Giant becoming a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant had only a sliver of hope.
Yes, only a sliver!
Compared to the fifty percent hope represented by seizing and refining a Giant's Dao Fruit, Origin Imprint, and Origin Essence Blood right before their eyes, that sliver of hope was undoubtedly enough to drive all Quasi-Giants mad.
Cang Xiong underwent his tribulation, bathed in infinite, most terrifying tribulation light far surpassing ordinary Emperor Tribulations countless times over. He was covered in blood, with blood light blooming from time to time, and even glimpses of stark white bone occasionally visible.
He sensed the prying eyes from all directions of the Chaos Sea, filled with confidence. Now, having initially stepped into the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant realm, his aura surged explosively. Moreover, due to the vast Emperor Tribulation, even Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants were somewhat cautious, not daring to act directly. Instead, they waited silently, calculating the time for the Emperor Tribulation to end, planning to strike as it was about to conclude.
A majestic phantom of a Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe appeared. Within it, stood one terrifying figure after another, surpassing past and present, emanating a fearsome aura that surpassed Supreme Ones.
Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants!
More than one. Faintly, their number exceeded the fingers of one hand, perhaps even more.
One of them, his gaze piercing through the endless Chaos Sea, fell upon Cang Xiong undergoing tribulation, revealing a trace of greed. "A Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant about to succeed. As long as we kill him smoothly and seize his Giant Dao Fruit, Origin Imprint, Origin Essence Blood, etc., it will allow us, who have been in a weakened state for several epochs, to recover completely in a short time, reappearing in our invincible Heavenly Sovereign forms!"
Another Giant nodded. "Tai Shi speaks correctly. Our Chaos Burial Ground has been sealed off from the Chaos Sea for too long, for several epochs. In less than two thousand years, our origins are far from recovered. Killing a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant and taking everything from him will allow us to recover completely in a short time."
They were precisely the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Their gazes also turned greedily towards Cang Xiong undergoing tribulation.
Elsewhere, within the Alien Ancient Universe.
The figure of Yuan Chu Imperial Ancestor was hazy, his Great Dao aura shielding him, his imperial shadow invisible. Only his gaze could be seen looking out towards the Chaos Sea, observing that supremely powerful figure undergoing tribulation.
Beside him, Wan Yan Great Emperor, having returned from outside the Pangu Pass at some unknown time, stood silently.
"After the tribulation, take my weapon and seize his Dao Fruit. Be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Otherwise, others will act immediately, even other Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants." Yuan Chu Imperial Ancestor spoke slowly, with a tone of indisputable command.
"Yes!"
Wan Yan Great Emperor silently gazed at that supremely powerful figure undergoing tribulation. Soundlessly, he left the Alien Ancient Universe, heading for the region of the Chaos Sea where Cang Xiong was.
The Chaos Sea was vast and boundless, immeasurably expansive. But for a Quasi-Giant like Wan Yan Great Emperor, it was clearly not a problem.
Moreover, Yuan Chu Imperial Ancestor also acted, personally constructing a long-distance Giant transmission passage, sending Wan Yan Great Emperor to the nearby region.
Almost simultaneously, other Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants, or Quasi-Giants, all began to move.
On the Pangu Pass, the Golden Crow Great Emperor, Formless Sovereign, Profound God Great Emperor, and Tai Chu Monarch looked out towards the Chaos Sea. Naturally, they were also startled.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor revealed a hint of envy. "Undergoing tribulation to become a Colossus from Antiquity... What a pity. In my day, I too had some hope of becoming a Colossus from Antiquity in one fell swoop."
If not for the unsealing and emergence of the Chaos Burial Ground, with the Golden Crow Great Emperor's capabilities, he might very well have truly become a Colossus from Antiquity.
Alas, there were no 'ifs'.
The Formless Sovereign was greatly shocked. "Cang Xiong!"
Gazing at the figure within the Emperor Tribulation, how could he not be familiar? It was one of his greatest foes from the Ultimate Ancient Path in their youth.
In their prime, the two had battled all the way from the Heavenly King realm to the Ancient Monarch level.
In the end, the Formless Sovereign defeated all his great enemies, successfully ascending to the position of Number One before departing gracefully. Later, he earned the title of 'Number One Under the Supreme Ones,' shaking the Chaos Sea. He stepped onto the Path of Eternity from the Sovereign realm, becoming a Monarch, but was ultimately trapped and perished in an alien race's conspiracy.
Unbeknownst to him, his former great enemy, Cang Xiong, had already reached such a level, now making a direct assault on the Colossus from Antiquity realm.
It made him sigh with emotion; time waits for no one.
"Not good! There are Colossi from Antiquity, even Quasi-Giants, intending to ambush Cang Xiong during his tribulation. They want to seize his Giant Dao Fruit while he's weakened."
The Formless Sovereign's expression changed. Without hesitation, he merged with the Heavenly Dao Sun, instantly reaching the Quasi-Giant level, and communicated with the Boundary Tower: "Senior, please send me to the area where that Colossus from Antiquity is undergoing tribulation."
The Boundary Tower, perpetually in a state of awakening, its divine spirit identical to the Space-Time Great Emperor, possessed mastery over the Space-Time Great Dao that surpassed even the Kunpeng Sovereign. It attempted to dissuade him: "It is not advisable for you to go and seize that Colossus from Antiquity's Dao Fruit. Both the alien races and the Chaos Burial Ground are watching like tigers eyeing their prey. If you rashly go, you will be in mortal danger."
The Formless Sovereign shook his head. "Senior, you misunderstand. The Colossus from Antiquity undergoing tribulation is an old acquaintance from my Ultimate Ancient Path days, both foe and friend. I cannot sit idly by and watch him come to harm. Moreover, if there is a chance, I hope to have him join our Pangu Universe's camp. The addition of a Colossus from Antiquity would be of immense benefit to the current Pangu Universe."
The Boundary Tower fell silent for a moment, then said, "I will accompany you. If anything goes wrong, we can return to the Pangu Universe immediately. I have left a space-time imprint here."
The Formless Sovereign was overjoyed. "I trouble you, Senior!"
Whoosh—
The Boundary Tower flashed with radiance, enveloping the Formless Sovereign, and departed from the Pangu Universe.
Somewhere unknown in the Chaos Sea, Cang Xiong bathed in the light of the Emperor Tribulation. He was covered in blood, his flesh mangled, bones exposed—a truly miserable sight. Yet, his essence, energy, and spirit grew increasingly vigorous and powerful, his Soul Light soaring to the heavens.
He could sense the appearance of numerous supremely powerful and sinister auras nearby, all truly supreme and invincible existences. The weakest were comparable to the Kunpeng Sovereign, and there were even those beyond that level—likely Quasi-Giant level existences.
Among them, the most powerful was a whole level stronger than his current self.
Clearly, that was a true Colossus from Antiquity, who also coveted his Dao Fruit.
Slowly, a cold smile tugged at the corner of Cang Xiong's mouth. He hadn't expected so many supreme existences in the Chaos Sea to be paying attention to him.
So be it. All who dare come to attack shall be slaughtered!
He had transformed from an aged body back to youth, undergoing a complete metamorphosis. His state of mind was gradually transforming as well, as if becoming young again—full of youthful vigor and boundless confidence.
He sat cross-legged, using the boundless Emperor Tribulation falling upon him to temper his fleshly body. His flesh and blood restructured, his bones broken and then reforged.
He underwent an all-encompassing transformation. His entire being radiated an unprecedented brilliance that illuminated past and present.
An unknowable amount of time later, the Emperor Tribulation gradually receded. Upon Cang Xiong's body, his Eternal Monarch Dao Fruit fully bloomed into an immortal flower, transforming into a supreme Giant.
From within his tattered flesh, boundless vitality erupted, beginning to repair his injured body. He had truly ascended to the Colossus from Antiquity level.
"Kill!"
At that moment, a war lance suddenly materialized out of thin air, wrapped in endless killing intent, piercing into the fading light of the tribulation, aiming straight for his brow.
Without a doubt, this was an Emperor Lance, a war weapon of an Ancient Emperor. Its Emperor Principles were boundless, capable of severely injuring a Great Perfection Supreme One.
In the shadows, an existence at the level of an Ancient Emperor had aimed for the perfect opportunity, striking during Cang Xiong's weakened state after surviving the tribulation, executing a fatal blow to seize his strongest Dao Fruit.
"Hmph! A mere Supreme One dares to dream of assassinating this seat!"
Cang Xiong's figure remained unmoving as a mountain. His finger and palm struck out horizontally, instantly causing an immeasurably vast expanse of the Chaos Sea to explode.
With a metallic clang, the killing intent of the Emperor Lance shattered. The dazzling war lance was sent flying, bearing a terrifying palm imprint that nearly snapped it in two.
With another point of his finger, following the Emperor Lance's controlling Emperor Thought, he struck the hidden Ancient Emperor existence.
Boom—
That mysterious Ancient Emperor figure was sent flying, covered in blood, nearly blown apart, suffering a terrible, grievous wound.
This was only because Cang Xiong had just finished his tribulation and was still very weak, his realm not yet fully stabilized. Otherwise, a true Colossus from Antiquity, with a mere flick of a finger, could shatter a Supreme One's Emperor Body.
It was like a Supreme One striking a Monarch—a complete, top-down suppression of absolute power!
"Somewhat regrettable. It actually didn't shatter."
Cang Xiong sighed lightly, yet this scene made the hidden Supreme Ones tremble with fear!
Even though he had just finished his tribulation and hadn't fully stabilized his Giant realm, that invincible imposing aura was already on full display.
Ordinary Supreme Ones were simply no match for him.
Buzz—
Above, a terrifying space-time channel appeared. Great Emperor Wanyan emerged, wielding a weapon of a Colossus from Antiquity. He launched a fierce assault at this moment, the Giant's weapon fully awakening, releasing strands of world-shaking radiance that slashed toward Cang Xiong.
Cang Xiong genuinely felt a lethal threat.
A Quasi-Giant, wielding a weapon of a Colossus from Antiquity, could indeed threaten him in his current state.
Boom—
However, the invincible him still possessed boundless confidence. With a mere raise of his hand, he met the attack head-on, colliding with it.
Great Emperor Wanyan's figure was sent flying back, his Emperor's blood staining the Chaos Sea red.
Cang Xiong also coughed up blood. After all, he had just stepped into this realm and was still weak. Otherwise, even with a fully awakened weapon of a Colossus from Antiquity, Great Emperor Wanyan couldn't have harmed him in the slightest.
At the same time, the Chaos Sea erupted as several other Quasi-Giants charged over, their killing intent soaring to the heavens, arriving together.
There were also numerous Supreme Ones hidden in the shadows. Supreme-level killing intent densely filled this region of the Chaos Sea, transforming it into an absolute death zone.
Cang Xiong roared, his shout exploding a portion of the Chaos Sea and repelling the enemies from all sides.
But he himself was also wounded, his Emperor's blood splattering. The situation was not optimistic.
However, having truly stepped into this realm, completely transcending Supreme Ones, Cang Xiong's silver-white hair billowed. Behind him, the Hundred Epochs Supreme Dharma Form evolved—perhaps it should now be called the Ten Thousand Ancient Immortal Dharma Form.
A hundred palm seals transformed in an instant into ten thousand techniques!
"Ten Thousand Ancient, Immortal Body!"
Cang Xiong merged with the Ten Thousand Ancient Immortal Body. Countless techniques instantly manifested between his fingers and palms—said to be ten thousand, but in reality, they were infinite and immeasurable. He actively charged toward the enemies attacking from all sides.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Upon contact, he blasted apart this region of the Chaos Sea, the impact vast and deep. That level of might was even sufficient to utterly shatter a Primordial Chaos Great World.
The Supreme enemies from all sides were all sent flying back, blood spraying from their bodies. Several were even blasted apart on the spot, their blood dyeing the Chaos Sea.
"So strong! Truly worthy of becoming the Strongest Emperor. That Colossus from Antiquity, even though he's just stepped in and hasn't fully stabilized his realm, is still unimaginable!"
Among the enemies from all sides, several were Quasi-Giants, like Great Emperor Wanyan and the Quasi-Giant from the Chaos Burial Ground. They were secretly shocked.
Without a Colossus from Antiquity appearing, who could kill him head-on?
Great Emperor Wanyan, blood staining the corner of his mouth, looked coldly at Cang Xiong and said, "So what if he's a Colossus from Antiquity? He's still not at his peak perfection, having just entered this domain and weakened from the tribulation. This is our best chance. I need his Giant's Dao Fruit!"
"No, I need his Giant's Dao Fruit too!"
"Just give me the origin imprint and origin essence blood!"
The Quasi-Giants from all sides communicated with each other. Without even truly killing Cang Xiong yet, they had already begun deciding how to carve him up.
Without a doubt, this was the greatest disrespect toward Cang Xiong.
Since when would a Colossus from Antiquity be reduced to this?
Hearing this, Cang Xiong's gaze turned icy. His fingers traced through the air, imprisoning this vast expanse of the Chaos Sea. As if casually plucking a flower, a thin blade appeared between his fingers, thin as a cicada's wing, flowing with peerless sharpness: "Did the Colossus from Antiquity behind you not tell you not to recklessly discuss a Colossus from Antiquity?"
Swish—
The blade flew out, vanishing in an instant.
Undetectable by space-time, unstoppable by the Ten Thousand Daos!
Boom—
A Quasi-Giant sensed the terrifying danger, his expression drastically changing, but it was too late. The blade flashed into existence, slicing through his Emperor's body as if cutting tofu, cleaving it in two. Emperor's blood bloomed like a torrential wave.
In the blink of an eye, the Quasi-Giant suffered a terrible heavy injury.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The Ten Thousand Ancient Immortal Body instantly descended, its might suppressing the ages, sealing off this region of the Chaos Sea.
Billions of techniques fell like lightning.
Boom—
In a flash, this Quasi-Giant had no time to dodge and was utterly blasted apart.
Rolling blood light shook who knows how many vast stretches of the Chaos Sea.
The other Quasi-Giants changed color, attacking simultaneously. Wielding fully awakened weapons of Colossi from Antiquity, they fiercely charged at Cang Xiong.
Boom—
Several Quasi-Giants were sent flying back. Cang Xiong also spat blood from the corner of his mouth, suffering wounds. After all, he couldn't be truly invincible.
He had, after all, just finished his tribulation and merely stepped into the Giant domain.
Only after stabilizing his realm and adjusting all aspects to peak perfection would he be at the most invincible and flourishing time for a Colossus from Antiquity!
Silently and without warning, Cang Xiong suddenly felt a terrifying sense of alarm. Without thinking, he instantly shifted sideways an infinite distance.
Boom—
Even so, he was almost cut in half. Cang Xiong's Ten Thousand Ancient Immortal Body was slashed open, a deep, bone-revealing wound appearing at his waist, gushing with rolling blood light.
Every drop of blood carried myriad phenomena, containing heaven-defying power sufficient to utterly kill a peak Sovereign, even a Monarch wouldn't be an exaggeration.
But this blood of a Colossus from Antiquity quickly moved toward extinction.
That strike carried unparalleled killing intent, capable of annihilating the immeasurable vitality within the Giant's blood.
A Colossus from Antiquity had attacked!
