The various Supreme One-level enemies were horrified. A colossus from antiquity had personally taken action.
Clearly, he also coveted Cang Xiong's Giant Dao Fruit.
"I didn't expect that merely stepping into this realm for the first time, you could avoid my ambush. Not simple at all."
Soundlessly, a terrifying figure appeared in the area where Cang Xiong had originally been, as if it should not exist in this world. Everything around it collapsed, its true visage unclear. Even Supreme Ones could not see it clearly, which showed just how terrifying the newcomer was.
At this moment, in the Chaos Sea, the various colossi from antiquity who had been silently observing were all startled, looking over from afar: "Primordial Heavenly Emperor!"
Indeed, it was the true form of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, a Giant from the Chaos Burial Ground, who had personally attacked.
In his hand, he held a slender, sharp war sword, exuding an unprecedented sharpness that could sever all Daos and all things. It was stained with the blood of a colossus from antiquity—blood that belonged to Cang Xiong.
Far on the other side of the Chaos Sea, Cang Xiong repaired his injured body, circulating his profound arts to expel the Heavenly Emperor-level killing intent from the wound at his waist.
Only another colossus from antiquity could expel it. Otherwise, even a Quasi-Giant would have their vitality gradually ground away by the Heavenly Emperor-level killing intent over time and perish.
He stood up tall, looking into the distance at the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, his expression incomparably cold. "I truly never thought that a veteran colossus from antiquity would also stoop so low, attacking a newly ascended Giant like me."
"The Chaos Sea is a place where the strong prey on the weak, where victors are kings and losers are bandits. There are no real rules to speak of!"
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor was not the least bit angered, speaking indifferently, devoid of any emotion.
He stepped forward, each step traversing a distance as vast as a Primordial Chaos Great World. In almost an instant, he descended before Cang Xiong, swinging his Heavenly Emperor War Sword—a peerless war sword capable of slaying colossi from antiquity, one that could even sever the River of Time.
"Remained Undecayed Through the Ages!"
Cang Xiong did not dare be careless. With a cold shout, his entire body shone with the light of remaining undecayed through the ages.
Soundlessly, a faint layer of dark gold color appeared on the surface of his body, as if he were clad in golden battle armor.
Indeed, his battle weapon was a Dharmakaya. Originally the Hundred Lifetimes Supreme Dharmakaya, now that he had ascended to become a colossus from antiquity, it had also transformed into the Undecayed Through the Ages Body. Gradually infused with his Giant-level power, it shimmered with an even more potent light of indestructibility, surpassing before.
At this moment, he was truly undecayed through the ages, far surpassing his previous state.
What had enveloped his body before was merely the Undecayed Through the Ages Body manifested through divine abilities. Now, this was the true Giant-level weapon—the Undecayed Through the Ages Body!
With the true Undecayed Through the Ages Body upon him, Cang Xiong appeared even more majestic and peerless. The light of indestructibility pierced through past, present, and future, containing a divine nature of eternal imperishability.
The boundless killing intent released by the Heavenly Emperor War Sword fell upon the Undecayed Through the Ages Body, clanging densely, yet it could not break through.
Cang Xiong's gaze was cold. "Tai Shi, today I will let you witness the true might of the Undecayed Through the Ages Body."
His fingers and palm met the attack, clashing head-on with the Heavenly Emperor War Sword in the blink of an eye.
The light of indestructibility versus the sword that severs the ages!
Boom—
The boundless Chaos Sea was plunged into destruction, the area affected beyond description.
Even at the edge of this annihilated territory, three Ancient Emperors, Supreme Immortals, and other Supreme Ones were secretly observing the battle. They were caught in the aftermath. Though not killed, the shockwaves from such a clash sent the three flying, their bodies covered in blood. Even their Supreme Emperor Physiques could not withstand such residual force, their entire bodies covered in dense, porcelain-like cracks.
The peak-level battle between colossi from antiquity—merely the aftermath was like this. One could imagine that at the center, it was enough to annihilate those at the Supreme One level.
The peak collision caused space-time to collapse, ceasing to exist.
The two retreated from each other, neither gaining the slightest upper hand.
"The invincible Primordial Heavenly Emperor actually couldn't gain any advantage. Unbelievable!"
"This newly ascended colossus from antiquity is so powerful. He just stepped into the Giant level, yet he can confront a veteran Giant without falling behind."
"If one day, this newly ascended Giant stabilizes and reaches his peak state in all aspects, wouldn't he be comparable to existences like Tai Sheng Huang and the Battle Saint Ancestor?"
The various Supreme Ones were shocked and doubtful.
Even among colossi from antiquity, there were differences in strength.
Of course, beings like Tai Sheng Huang and the Battle Saint Ancestor grasped extremely terrifying supreme Great Daos. Especially the Battle Saint Ancestor, whose physical body was said to be among the top among colossi from antiquity, and whose offensive power was hailed as number one in the Chaos Sea. Naturally, they were stronger than other colossi from antiquity.
But such examples were rare. Generally speaking, the gaps were not very large.
Had they not seen? During the previous melee of colossi from antiquity, even powerful ones like the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Heaven-Defying War Lord, and Tai Sheng Huang only gained the upper hand; it was difficult for them to kill the colossi from antiquity on the side of the Alien Race Ancient Universe.
Cang Xiong was merely a newly ascended Giant who had just finished his tribulation. His strength was actually powerful enough to contend head-on with the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, a veteran Giant who had existed for who knew how many epochs. It had to be said that once he stabilized and reached his peak, perfect state in all aspects, he would likely be comparable to powerful colossi from antiquity like the Battle Saint Ancestor.
Only colossi from antiquity could truly see in an instant that the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, a supreme Giant of the Chaos Burial Ground, had been in slumber for several epochs and had not absorbed the power of the Chaos Sea, causing his origin to be somewhat depleted. After being unsealed, he had been in a state of recovery and had not yet fully recovered to this day.
Therefore, Cang Xiong, this newly ascended Giant, could contend at the peak level head-on!
"Not simple. Just stepping into this level, you can contend with me. Although it's partly because I am quite weakened, your strength is indeed praiseworthy." The Primordial Heavenly Emperor's voice held a slight fluctuation as he praised Cang Xiong's extraordinary strength.
Cang Xiong sneered. "Don't flatter yourself. Weak is weak, nothing more."
His entire body erupted with the light of remaining undecayed through the ages as he stepped forward. The Undecayed Through the Ages Body struck horizontally. In the blink of an eye, billions upon billions of terrifying attacks descended, ever-changing, with not a single move repeated. They reached everywhere, comprehensively covering every inch of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, "You are too young."
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The Heavenly Emperor War Sword swept out, also unleashing billions upon billions of sword beams in an instant. Each sword beam was a different technique, clashing with the Undecayed Through the Ages Body.
On another front, Great Emperor Wan Yan and several other Quasi-Giants watched like tigers eyeing their prey, continuously making moves.
More than twenty Supreme Ones soared through the sky like eagles, charging at Cang Xiong.
For a time, dozens of Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants, cooperating with the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, attacked Cang Xiong, this newly ascended Giant.
Under such a siege, even a colossus from antiquity could be in mortal danger.
It could be said that even a Giant at the peak, perfect state would be in constant peril, let alone a newly ascended Giant like Cang Xiong.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor's techniques were profound, his attacks fierce, sealing off Cang Xiong's various escape routes so that he could not evade for the moment.
Boom—
At this moment, boundless golden light erupted horizontally. A War God Great Emperor descended upon this place, violently striking, directly sending eight Supreme Ones hiding in the shadows flying with their Emperor Physiques cracking. Two Quasi-Giants were also sent flying, their Emperor blood splattering.
Infinite space-time might rippled out, enveloping the boundless territory.
Instantly, over half of the Supreme One attacks were twisted through space-time, sent far away from this place, greatly reducing the pressure on Cang Xiong.
Boom—
Cang Xiong's Undecayed Through the Ages Body erupted violently, madly clashing with the Primordial Heavenly Emperor. The two Giants finally flew apart from each other.
The remaining various Supreme One attacks were swept away by the Undecayed Through the Ages Body, all disintegrating. Even those Supreme One attacks that could not be disintegrated fell upon the Undecayed Through the Ages Body, were blocked, clanging loudly, unable to break the defense.
"Who is it?!"
A Quasi-Giant's eyebrows shot up, his gaze extremely sharp.
If not for someone suddenly intervening in the battlefield, Cang Xiong would have been in a situation of narrowly escaping death.
"I, Qin Wuxiang!"
The newcomer was none other than the Sovereign of Formlessness.
He appeared holding the World Tower, a Giant-level weapon of the Space-Time Great Emperor. Through the revival of the World Tower and its space-time effects, he twisted the trajectories of a large area of Supreme One attacks, securing a sliver of life for Cang Xiong.
Fortunately, when the Sovereign of Formlessness came, he had already refined the Heavenly Dao Sun within his body. Through this new Tenth Heaven of the Pangu Universe, the Heavenly Dao might it continuously released allowed him to forcibly elevate himself to the Quasi-Giant level.
Otherwise, even with a Supreme One body wielding a Giant-level weapon, twisting so many Supreme One and even Quasi-Giant attacks would inevitably incur the most terrifying backlash.
The Sovereign of Formlessness, bathed in endless golden light, held a golden great halberd in hand, his fighting spirit infinite, his battle prowess invincible.
Above his head, the World Tower appeared. Vaguely, it seemed a World Ancestral Tree that propped up heaven and earth manifested, supporting the myriad heavens of the ages, with space-time swirling around and myriad worlds appearing.
His appearance instantly drew the attention of all sides.
"Sovereign of Formlessness!"
The various Supreme Ones frowned; the Quasi-Giants also turned cold.
Many Supreme Ones still remembered the Sovereign of Formlessness from the previous Mythical Epoch—the King of Sovereigns, number one beneath the Supreme Ones. Hadn't he perished? He actually came back to life?
Moreover, observing the aura emanating from him, he had clearly reached the Quasi-Giant level.
That Giant-level weapon was none other than the World Tower, belonging to the Space-Time Great Emperor, wasn't it?
They never expected that Qin Wuxiang would suddenly appear and insert himself into this battle of besieging the newly ascended Giant.
Judging by his actions, he was clearly on the side of the newly ascended Giant.
"Qin Wuxiang!"
Great Emperor Wan Yan's expression was exceptionally cold. At critical moments, these bastards from the Pangu Universe always came out to obstruct. Truly utterly detestable.
But so be it. Daring to appear here alone was purely seeking death.
Even if he didn't take action, the colossi from antiquity within the Alien Race Ancient Universe would not sit idly by. After all, the Sovereign of Formlessness was like a second Battle Saint Ancestor.
The Alien Race Ancient Universe knew well that the Sovereign of Formlessness had not attained the Dao to become an Emperor, yet he could contend at the peak level against Ancient Great Emperors. He was clearly a legendary Eternal Monarch, and not an ordinary one at that—more terrifying than Dao Shishi and Tai Chu Monarch.
Once he attained the Dao to become an Emperor, he would undoubtedly be a second Battle Saint Ancestor.
The Alien Race Ancient Universe would not allow him to grow.
"The Sovereign of Formlessness actually became a Quasi-Giant. Truly worthy of being the number one genius of the Mythical Epoch, the former number one beneath the Supreme Ones. I heard the Alien Race Ancient Universe paid a huge price to kill him back then. Never thought he would be resurrected and become a Quasi-Giant."
"Quasi-Giant? Not quite. His aura is a bit strange, more like he reached this level by borrowing external power."
The various Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants were surprised. They were not as clear about the Sovereign of Formlessness's true realm as the Alien Race Ancient Universe.
"Wuxiang!"
Cang Xiong revealed a smile. This guy had come to support him.
A former great enemy from the Ultimate Ancient Path had now become a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side. This feeling was truly good.
Thinking carefully, their generation's Ultimate Ancient Path, though not comparable to this era's gathering of various Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and Supreme Young Sovereigns, could still be considered a gathering of heroes, with peerless geniuses emerging one after another.
Like him, like the Sovereign of Formlessness, like Dao Shishi, like the Asura Monarch—all had become Monarchs, especially the first three who were Eternal Monarchs.
Such a scene, looking across all of history, was hard to say if it would be unmatched in the future, but it was absolutely unprecedented.
"Brother Cang Xiong, congratulations! Not only did you attain the Dao to become an Emperor, you leaped directly to become a colossus from antiquity!"
The Sovereign of Formlessness was very happy. A former great enemy, now meeting again as an old friend, seeing him become a supreme Giant filled him with immense joy.
Cang Xiong looked deeply at the Sovereign of Formlessness, naturally knowing that the latter's potential was even greater than his own. It was only because of the Alien Race Ancient Universe's schemes that he had no choice but to perish. Although resurrected, he lacked the profound accumulation over an entire epoch like Cang Xiong had. Otherwise, he should have long since attained the Dao to become an Emperor and would inevitably have transformed into a colossus from antiquity. With his status as an Ancient Sovereign who had stepped onto the Eternal Path, once he became a colossus from antiquity, he would likely be even stronger than Cang Xiong.
After all, the current Sovereign of Formlessness was only at the Eternal Monarch level, yet he could contend at the peak level against Ancient Great Emperors. The terror of his potential was evident.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor swept a cold glance at the Sovereign of Formlessness. "I didn't expect you would dare to come. Back then, you had a part in preventing my Chaos Burial Ground from being unsealed and emerging. I haven't sought you out, yet you take the initiative to come to my door. Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Hmm? You actually have a Heavenly Dao within you, and not an ordinary one at that, refined within your body. Aren't you afraid of backlash?"
Who was he? As a Heavenly Emperor of the Chaos Burial Ground, a colossus from antiquity, the Sovereign of Formlessness could not completely hide from him.
"Heh!"
The Sovereign of Formlessness sneered. That was Ye Chen's Heavenly Dao Sun, the Pangu Universe's brand new Tenth Heaven. Because of the Heavenly Emperor's influence, it had completely submitted to Ye Chen's ownership.
He had obtained the authority granted by Ye Chen and possessed the strongest Supreme One-level Battle Saint Body. Unlike Ye Chen in the past, who could not withstand the complete power of the Heavenly Dao Sun comparable to the Quasi-Giant level, he could perfectly control the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun within his body, unleashing it perfectly to display peak Quasi-Giant-level combat power.
Even facing a true Quasi-Giant, the Sovereign of Formlessness believed he could fight at the peak level without suffering backlash.
Because his battle instinct, battle experience, battle awareness, and battle realm—everything was sufficient to handle it.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, "I advise you to leave immediately. This level of battle between Giants is not something a junior who is not even a Supreme One can intervene in, even if you've borrowed external force to reach the Quasi-Giant level."
He could see that the current Sovereign of Formlessness was only at the Monarch level, yet he was absurdly powerful, forcibly reaching the Quasi-Giant level by borrowing Heavenly Dao power.
However, even so, compared to him, a true colossus from antiquity, the gap was still vast.
Undoubtedly, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor also wanted to kill the Sovereign of Formlessness.
But at the moment, Cang Xiong was more important.
The Giant Dao Fruit, origin imprint, and origin essence blood of a newly ascended Giant had indescribable, infinite wondrous uses for the recovery of all the Heavenly Emperors of the entire Chaos Burial Ground.
The Sovereign of Formlessness naturally would not leave easily. As a Battle Saint, a warrior is invincible; how could he fear?
His gaze burned as he looked at the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, the World Tower above his head, the Heaven-Wasteland Great Halberd in hand, boundless fighting spirit surging around him, soaring to the heavens. "Why so much nonsense? If it comes to it, we'll just fight!"
"Since you seek death, I will not advise you further."
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor's gaze turned cold, descending. This boundless territory of the Chaos Sea seemed to fall into space-time confinement.
Cang Xiong strode forward, his Undecayed Through the Ages Body erupting, striking out like thunder. He snorted coldly, "If you want to kill him, have you asked me?"
"Tai Shi Divides Heaven and Earth!"
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor swung his sword, severing the ages, clashing with Cang Xiong. On another front, the methods of a veteran Giant were displayed. Borrowing the vast power of the Chaos Ancient Universe of the Chaos Burial Ground, he actually manifested an external Giant Dao Body to attack the Sovereign of Formlessness.
This Giant Dao Body naturally could not be compared to his true form, but condensed using part of the origin power of the Chaos Ancient Universe, it was not simple, possessing thirty to forty percent of his true form's combat power.
It still surpassed the Quasi-Giant level.
"Well met!"
The Sovereign of Formlessness showed no fear, striding forward to meet it. The Heaven-Wasteland Great Halberd struck horizontally, the World Tower revived, the infinite power contained within the Heavenly Dao Sun under his perfect control, erupting in full force as he furiously attacked the Primordial Heavenly Emperor's Dao Body.
At this time, Great Emperor Wan Yan and the other Quasi-Giants, as well as the various Supreme Ones, stopped.
To say they would not take action was impossible. The Dao Fruit of a newly ascended Giant was too tempting, offering them greater hope of becoming colossi from antiquity.
But how many who could become Supreme Ones were truly simple individuals?
At present, they all wanted to use the Primordial Heavenly Emperor's hand to deal with Cang Xiong and the Sovereign of Formlessness, grinding down their vital forces. They would watch from the sidelines, quietly waiting for the final moment.
The saying 'when the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman profits' applied here.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor was not unaware of these people's thoughts, but he ignored them with indifference.
As a colossus from antiquity, he possessed absolute strength that towered above all. If these people dared to compete at the final moment, he would just annihilate them with a single sword. Not worth mentioning.
In the confrontation, Cang Xiong and the Primordial Heavenly Emperor's true form were evenly matched.
The Heavenly Emperor Dao Body, borrowing the vast power of the Chaos Ancient Universe, even with the Sovereign of Formlessness borrowing the power of the World Tower and the Heavenly Dao Sun, was still slightly forcing him into a disadvantage.
But the Sovereign of Formlessness had inherited the invincible Dao heart and fighting spirit of the Battle Saint lineage. His martial will soared, overshadowing the Chaos Sea.
Furiously clashing, he more directly felt the terror of colossi from antiquity and gained insights into their realm.
The Sovereign of Formlessness, as an Eternal Monarch, was more terrifying than Tai Chu Monarch because he had stepped onto the Eternal Path during his Ancient Sovereign period. This resulted in his current ability to contend at the peak level against Ancient Great Emperors.
The next step, if he attained the Dao to become an Emperor, he would undoubtedly enter the ranks of colossi from antiquity.
Moreover, with his powerful foundation, in the future he might be able to reach the same rank as the Battle Saint Ancestor, belonging to the powerful type of colossi from antiquity.
Now, contending at the peak level against the powerful Dao Body of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor also allowed him to gradually understand part of the profundities of colossi from antiquity from the side.
"Wasteland Annihilation!"
The Sovereign of Formlessness shouted, swinging the Heaven-Wasteland Great Halberd. This peerless war halberd that accompanied him in attaining the Dao emitted the endless golden calamity light of Nine-Calamity Gold, as if myriad calamities manifested. An aura of desolation permeated, destroying everything as it furiously cleaved at the Heavenly Emperor Dao Body.
"Somewhat interesting. To be able to confront my Dao Body for so long, indeed worthy of some praise." The Primordial Heavenly Emperor expressed some admiration. But the next moment, the Dao Body was like a Chaos Ancient Universe, transforming and giving birth to endless universe phantoms that directly crushed over.
Boom—
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor divided his attention. The Heavenly Emperor Dao Body executed a divine ability of the colossus from antiquity level. Although the Dao Body could not unleash it completely, it was still terrifying enough.
Boom rumble rumble—
Boundless, endless Chaos Ancient Universe phantoms locked onto the Sovereign of Formlessness, rolling over to crush him. The boundless Chaos Sea continuously exploded, unable to approach.
The Sovereign of Formlessness resisted with peerless divine abilities. A Wasteland Great World clashed with the universe phantoms. The power of the Heavenly Dao Sun was exerted by him to the extreme. The World Tower above his head also resonated, with a Primordial Great World, almost like a Primordial Chaos Great World, manifesting.
Heaven collapsed and earth split; the Chaos Sea continuously exploded, extremely terrifying.
The Sovereign of Formlessness's figure was sent flying back. A strand of blood coughed out from his handsome face, his true blood brilliant.
The World Tower's light dimmed. If not for the obstruction of this Giant-level weapon of the Space-Time Great Emperor, the Sovereign of Formlessness would have been in danger.
Clearly, in such a fierce collision, he was inferior to the Heavenly Emperor Dao Body.
This made all sides sigh. Colossi from antiquity were ultimately invincible existences overlooking the ages. Even a Giant Dao Body with less than half the strength of the true form possessed power that a Quasi-Giant wielding a fully revived Giant-level weapon still could not contend against.
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, "Being able to persist to this step is quite remarkable. But facing me, even if your elders came, it would be useless."
This was the pride of a colossus from antiquity, and even more so the pride of a supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Looking down on the myriad heavens, arrogantly viewing the ages—who could contend?
If his true form attacked, the Sovereign of Formlessness would not merely cough blood; he would likely be directly severely injured.
A Giant-level weapon, even fully revived, could not bridge the boundless gap between a Quasi-Giant and a colossus from antiquity.
"Oh, is that so?"
Suddenly, this vast expanse of the Chaos Sea abruptly exploded.
Tai Sheng Huang and Cang Xiong's expressions changed drastically. Quasi-Giants like the Wan Yan Great Emperor were even more terrified, let alone the various Supreme Ones who trembled uncontrollably.
Visibly, an immeasurable amount of chaos qi evaporated out of thin air, the vacuum shattered, and a peerless war god figure descended, surrounded by golden light just like the Sovereign of Formlessness, yet his battle aura far surpassed that of the Sovereign of Formlessness. Their origins were identical, but this one was stronger in every aspect by an unknown magnitude.
His appearance, with his vast and abyssal majestic aura, directly caused the Chaos Sea in this region to collapse, unable to bear his existence.
Even the two colossi from antiquity, Cang Xiong and Tai Sheng Huang, were overshadowed!
Battle Saint Ancestor!
