Originally, Cang Xiong had planned to wait until the conclusion of the Ultimate Ancient Path before heading there.
After becoming a Giant of Ten Thousand Ancient Times, his thoughts had wavered slightly.
But this time, after undergoing the tribulation, various forces came to attack. Powerful as he was, having just entered the level of a Giant of Ten Thousand Ancient Times, his life hung by a thread.
At the critical moment, true feelings were revealed in adversity. The Formless Sovereign, wielding a weapon of a Giant of Ten Thousand Ancient Times, came to his rescue, resolving a crisis.
In the end, the invincible Battle Saint Ancestor descended with overwhelming force, punching through Tai Sheng Huang, resisting four Giants, piercing through the spacetime of Ten Thousand Ancient Times, and taking him away.
How could Cang Xiong not repay such kindness? He decided to go to the Pangu Universe personally to oversee it and intimidate all major enemies.
He had always repaid kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance.
Now, returning to the Chaos Ancient Universe was merely to settle some matters concerning the Ultimate Ancient Path; otherwise, he would have long since gone to the Pangu Universe together with the Formless Sovereign.
Of course, when they parted, he had also made a promise that he would go there soon.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's joy was evident on his face: "Senior, this junior is ready at any time."
"Good, wait a little while. This old man still needs to prepare various matters. After I leave, it wouldn't be good for the Ultimate Ancient Path to have no one overseeing it. I'll have Tai Wuji temporarily oversee it in my stead." Cang Xiong nodded.
Ye Chen's sword-like brows slightly furrowed: "But Senior, you've just finished undergoing the tribulation. Don't you need to rest and consolidate for a while?"
"The post-tribulation weakness will soon be remedied." Cang Xiong smiled mysteriously.
...
On the Ultimate Ancient Path, the Myriad Races of the Star Sky had been continuously observing the situation in the extraterrestrial realm.
The Heavenly Soul Great Emperor, Cang Xiong, Ye Chen, and the Kunpeng Emperor—four Supreme Ones—had entered for a very long time, yet they had not emerged.
If not for the fact that not long ago, the might of proving the Dao had rippled out, confirming that someone was still there, they would have thought they had perished.
But that extraterrestrial realm within the cosmic firmament belonged to a place near the origin of the universe, inaccessible to those who were not Supreme Ones.
Even Monarchs like Tai Wuji and the 1st Imperial Envoy, who were supremely powerful, could not enter and could only wait silently.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, stars in the cosmic Star Sky lit up one by one, shining with unprecedented radiance, vast and mighty, like the sun leaping over the horizon, breaking the darkness before dawn, illuminating the eternal firmament.
Even the extremely dark Star Sky territories at the distant cosmic borders, where stars were sparse, were illuminated by intense light.
Black holes churned, and cosmic secret realms rose and fell.
Deities of all heavens awoke and emerged; demon kings of the eight wastelands roared at the sky.
The universe descended with billions of auspicious glows, countless phenomena, and showers of light splattered across every corner of the Star Sky in celebration.
All heavens and myriad worlds, the Star Sky's myriad domains, all races across the world.
At this moment, all living beings in the universe could perceive in their minds the majestic figure with silver-white hair descending.
He, who stood above all races, all beings, all Daos, all spirits, and all worlds.
Supreme and peerless, surpassing even Supreme Ones!
Just the mental imprint alone could make even Monarchs submit.
When a Supreme One proved the Dao and became an Emperor, it could not possibly be like this!
Tai Wuji was horrified, because this figure bore little resemblance to the aged form of his Master, Cang Xiong, in his memory.
Could it be that his Master had already...
He dared not think further.
On the other side, the 1st Imperial Envoy felt the same.
Because the Heavenly Soul Great Emperor also did not have silver-white hair.
The two Monarchs exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock deep in each other's eyes, which was then replaced by confusion.
Had they guessed wrong? Who, then, was the one who had proved the Dao?
The sudden, drastic change in the cosmic Star Sky startled the vast multitude of living beings in the mortal world.
And this.
Was merely the beginning!
"Proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor will inevitably cause the universe to descend with auspicious glows, illuminating the Star Sky's myriad domains in celebration." Sovereigns of various ancient times looked up at the boundless Star Sky, at the endless auspicious glows, at the showers of light covering every inch of the Star Sky, their eyes revealing unprecedented shock and awe.
Especially the Sovereigns from rising Imperial Clans, who had studied the cosmic wonders that accompanied their ancestral Great Emperors' proof of the Dao and ascension to Emperorhood, compared them with the current scene and found them vastly different.
All because the spectacle before them was countless times more magnificent, causing them to mutter in low, horrified tones: "The universe's celebratory illumination is to be expected, but why is it that when Cang Xiong proves the Dao and becomes an Emperor, it surpasses the scene when our clan's Great Emperor proved the Dao and became an Emperor by tenfold!?"
Tenfold!
What kind of concept was that?
Proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, with the universe's celebratory illumination, could cover nearly half of the cosmic Star Sky.
Ultimately, it would at most cover no more than one-tenth of the cosmic Star Sky's territory.
But now, as the mysterious Supreme One returned after proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, that celebratory scene, those auspicious glows and showers of light covering all heavens, enveloped the entire Great Universe.
From top to bottom, from inside to out, all directions and wastelands, everything was within this range.
Even the unfathomable cosmic secret realms and Emperor Realms hidden deep within endless spatial turbulence could not avoid it.
He radiated immeasurable light, resonating with the origin of the universe, helping it spread and radiate to every corner of the entire Great Universe.
As if in a trance, Cang Xiong was not merely proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, but becoming the master of the universe!
Boom—
Infinite, mysterious light suddenly appeared in the cosmic firmament, transforming into a rainbow spanning the entire Great Universe, piercing through both ends.
Upon this rainbow, countless finer rainbows intertwined, extending in all directions, constructing a grand Dao pattern across the cosmic firmament.
It was as if it outlined the Ten Thousand Daos of this Chaos Ancient Universe, presenting them to the world in the form of a pattern.
Or like it was evolving a great and supreme Imperial Dao, descending to the highest point of the universe, lofty and exalted.
Mysterious and unfathomable, beyond description!
Infinite and boundless Supreme Emperor Laws surged forth, transforming into layer upon layer of storms that spread throughout the entire cosmic Star Sky.
The whole world fell silent!
Suddenly, heaven and earth lost their color, and the stars dimmed. Upon that magnificent rainbow, the grand Dao pattern slowly materialized, ultimately transforming into a cosmic light gate, standing at the highest point.
This cosmic light gate swung open.
An aura of supreme, peerless, and unfathomable majesty rippled out. The Ten Thousand Daos seemed ethereal, mysterious and unpredictable, as if a great existence overlooking past, present, and future was descending upon this cosmic Star Sky.
The Myriad Races of the Star Sky, all beings of the universe, all raised their heads to look up.
Slowly, a majestic figure gradually appeared—silver-white hair cascading over his shoulders and back, a handsome face, a tall and straight posture, standing above all Daos, all races, all beings, all things, and all worlds.
He was the majestic existence imprinted in the minds of all living beings!
"I am Cang Xiong, the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Universe!"
The figure that overshadowed Ten Thousand Ancient Times took a step forward, and the myriad stars in the sky suddenly shone ten thousand times brighter!
Supreme and immeasurable, the Great Emperor boundless, vast light showered upon every corner of the Great Universe, reaching everywhere without limit.
He was the Great Heavenly Venerate.
Heaven, one who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.
Venerate, a Supreme existence.
To stand above Supreme Ones, not merely comparing with the Heavenly Dao but commanding it—that is a Great Heavenly Venerate!
Cang Xiong's Imperial title: Great Heavenly Venerate!
"Cang..." The 1st Imperial Envoy was horrified and terrified, his handsome face completely drained of color, deathly pale...
"It's Master!"
Tai Wuji wept tears of joy. His Master had finally taken that step.
To be called the Great Heavenly Venerate left no doubt—this was not simply proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, but transcending ordinary Supreme Ones to become a peerless Giant of the mortal world.
