Wealth stirs the hearts of men.
At the Supreme One level, there were few things in all the world, across all ages, that could move them.
However, the Origin Heavenly Gate, a legendary Origin Sacred Artifact, was absolutely among them.
Because it involved the Origin Land and touched upon "Eternity," even Supreme Ones could not remain completely calm—some even grew frantic.
"Mo Gu, this does not belong to you. The Origin Heavenly Gate is this emperor's."
"It belongs to this emperor!"
"It is this immortal's!"
The four Supreme Ones were unwilling to relinquish the Origin Heavenly Gate. By now, they had completely torn off the veneer of civility.
"How unexpected. For the sake of this one Origin Heavenly Gate, even Supreme Ones can cast aside their dignity. Truly a miracle."
A mocking laugh rang out from nowhere.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
The four Supreme Ones could clearly see Ye Chen's true cultivation level. Though he gave them a sense of danger, he had not yet reached the Supreme One realm.
In their understanding, this mere junior must have relied on external aids to barely reach a level comparable to a Supreme One.
Throughout the ages, such cases were rare but not unheard of.
"The ones courting death should be you," Ye Chen's expression gradually turned cold as he addressed the four Supreme Ones beside him. "What do you think?"
"Anyone who dares to covet it—we'll simply go to war!"
The Sun Great Emperor spoke indifferently. As an Ancient Great Emperor, he had the confidence. Besides, his master was Tai Sheng Huang—who had he ever feared?
"Having proven our Dao for many years, we've never truly engaged in a life-or-death battle with other Supreme Ones. I look forward to it!" The Mythical Supreme One and Chi Xue Supreme One declared, brimming with endless fighting spirit.
The Kunpeng Sovereign laughed heartily. "To be honest, I too am curious to know just how capable the Supreme Ones of the Origin Ancient Path are!"
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The Sun Great Emperor, Kunpeng Sovereign, Mythical Supreme One, and Chi Xue Supreme One—four Emperor Sovereign Supreme Ones—directly stepped forward, each targeting one of the opposing Supreme Ones, launching a furious assault.
In an instant, not just the four Imperial Domains, but over ten nearby Imperial Domains were stirred.
A battle between Supreme Ones was no trivial matter, and for so many Supreme Ones to clash simultaneously was even more astonishing!
Mo Gu and the other three Supreme Ones never expected Ye Chen and his group to attack so decisively, giving them no further chance for sophistry.
Of course, they were no pushovers either. Their Supreme Emperor might erupted, clashing with the attacks and holding them off.
Unless one was a quasi-Giant who had faintly transcended, among Supreme Ones, who was truly weaker than another? They had all fought their way up from youth, invincible at every step, reaching the pinnacle of perfection in all aspects—powerful beyond measure, with no apparent weaknesses.
The battle of eight Supreme Ones directly affected the descent of the Supreme Domain, which enveloped this territory to preventaffect the outside world.
Ye Chen did not join the fray. His soul light flickered, blazing intensely.
It was the final stage of his physical and mental transformation, radiating an inconceivable light of ten thousand ancient times that bathed his entire body. Though not a Supreme One, he was comparable to one—and not merely in a confrontational sense.
One of the four Supreme Ones from the Origin Ancient Path, Mo Gu Supreme One, said coldly, "Although you are also Supreme Ones, the Origin Ancient Path is not as simple as you imagine. Supreme Ones are not truly invincible here. The ones truly in power are the strongest Emperors, Immortal Kings, and other colossi from antiquity."
"Behind us stand such colossi from antiquity. We advise you to hand over the Origin Heavenly Gate. Otherwise, if the colossi from antiquity take action, even as Supreme Ones, you will only be suppressed!"
"If a colossus from antiquity strikes, they can suppress you with a mere gesture, annihilating you within ten rounds, body and soul utterly destroyed!"
A threat!
A blatant,Barefaced / Blatant threat!
"Colossi from antiquity, you say?" Ye Chen chuckled coldly. With the Chaos Great Cauldron in his left hand and the Emperor Star in his right, he charged into the battlefield, joining forces with the Sun Great Emperor to deal with the Supreme Emperor named Mo Gu.
Boom—
Under the combined assault of two Supreme-level combatants, Mo Gu was sent staggering back, somewhat disheveled—no match for the two working together.
Though Ye Chen was not a true Supreme One, the combat power he unleashed was infinitely close to theirs.
"We are indeed no match for colossi from antiquity, but with just you, a single Supreme One, you cannot truly threaten us!"
The Chaos Great Cauldron and Emperor Star awakened to their utmost, especially with Ye Chen's combat power reaching Supreme One level. His strikes now left Mo Gu Supreme One, who was already tied down by the Sun Great Emperor, with little capacity to attend to anything else.
Boom—
Imperial blood splattered.
Mo Gu Supreme One was injured. The Emperor Armor on his chest caved in, strands of imperial blood seeping from the spot, illuminating the myriad realms of the heavens, a truly conspicuous sight.
"A pity. That fellow dodged the head strike. Otherwise, blasting his head apart wouldn't have been impossible," Ye Chen remarked with a hint of regret.
"Junior!"
Mo Gu Supreme One was furious. Injured by a mere junior, then seeing him shake his head in disappointment for not hitting the head, even mentioning almost blasting his skull apart—it was a profound humiliation.
"Senior Brother, let's attack from both sides and cut him down together!" Ye Chen proposed.
"Agreed!" The Sun Great Emperor concurred. One in front, one behind, the two brothers joined forces, attacking Mo Gu Supreme One from left and right.
"You're courting death!"
Mo Gu was incensed yet helpless, for alone, he was no match for the two brothers.
The other three Supreme Ones were also held back by the Kunpeng Sovereign and the others.
Especially the Kunpeng Sovereign, who had previously devoured part of the Heaven Soul Great Emperor and later sent a strand of divine sense into Cang Xiong Great Heavenly Venerate's body, gaining insights into the starry celebration and the mysteries of the universe's origin. He had grown even stronger,imperceptibly suppressing his opponent.
During the fierce battle, the opposing Supreme One was no match for the Kunpeng Sovereign.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Gu Supreme One's gaze turned grave. He clenched his Supreme fist and said coldly, "Since you refuse to hand it over unscathed, we have no choice but to invite a Supreme Giant to intervene personally!"
Swish—
A beam of imperial light shot from between his brows, directly transmitting a soul message to the lofty colossus from antiquity.
The next moment—
Boom!
Instantly, the Supreme Domain was struck by an infinite, majestic force, forcibly halting its effective envelopment.
Silently, the River of Time abruptly manifested, vast and mighty, spanning the heavens like a celestial river, intercepting the descent and envelopment of the Supreme Domain.
Upon the River of Time, a Supreme Giant who suppressed all ages descended. His boundless might slowly unfurled, spreading outward—seemingly slow yet swift—shaking over ten Imperial Domains in the vicinity.
The Supreme Ones of the ten Imperial Domains were all startled, lifting their heads to gaze at the unfathomable figure upon the River of Time above the Domain War battlefield. Their hearts trembled, unable to find peace.
"A Supreme Giant!"
"Why has a Supreme Giant suddenly descended!"
Apart from the four Imperial Domains surrounding the Domain War battlefield, the Supreme Ones of the other six Imperial Domains were clearly puzzled.
The battle within the Domain War battlefield had been sealed off, and the Supreme Ones of the six domains had not been monitoring it constantly, so they were not fully aware.
The appearance of the Supreme Giant caused all nine battling Supreme Ones to stiffen slightly.
Upon closer inspection, his attire was exceedingly ancient, not from the recent few epochal eras, and exuded boundless nobility.
