A supreme Giant appeared, wearing the Chao Tian Crown and clad in a four-colored imperial robe. Upon closer inspection, it made one gasp in shock—it was an imperial robe forged from four types of Chaos Immortal Gold.
Looking even more carefully, it wasn't just a single person, but one riding a carriage. To be more precise, it was an imperial city refined into the form of a carriage. Dozens of peerless divine materials that would make even Monarchs covetous and go mad were used in its forging, including Chaos Immortal Gold, forcibly refining an entire imperial city into an invincible carriage.
This carriage alone could not be broken even if a Supreme One arrived. It had been reinforced by refining multiple super worlds, making it indestructible.
Before the carriage, crouched one terrifying great horror after another, shrouded in endless mists of Dao principles. A single wisp of their unrestrained aura was enough to severely injure an Ancient Monarch.
A full thirteen terrifying great horrors of the Chaos Sea served as the carriage-pulling beasts, and every single one was a Monarch-level existence.
Thirteen Monarch-level great ferocious Beast Venerables pulling a carriage—this lineup was terrifying beyond compare.
Especially the great ferocious Beast Venerable in the center, which faintly radiated a might not inferior to that of an ancient Great Emperor.
The supreme Giant sat cross-legged upon the carriage, the most revered of all ages!
"The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable!"
"Those are thirteen Monarch-level great ferocious Beast Venerables. Rumor has it they aren't ordinary Monarchs, but thirteen Chaos Holy Spirits who reached the Monarch realm. Unfortunately, before they could prove their Dao and become Emperors, they were subdued."
"The divine elephant in the center is the Chaos Elephant Venerable, the legendary Chaos Elephant. It is no longer a Monarch. Legend says that while attempting to prove its Dao and become a Supreme One, it suffered a terrifying attack from the Supreme Emperor Tribulation, which ground away ninety percent of its Emperor soul. It narrowly escaped death, almost perishing. Later, the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable personally intervened to save it, after which it chose to submit. With its Supreme One status, it became the Sacred Venerable's imperial mount!"
Seeing the newcomer, the Supreme Ones from all sides of the Origin Ancient Path who had been alarmed revealed deep astonishment.
The newcomer was none other than the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable, an extremely ancient colossus from antiquity. Rumors said he emerged during the early Chaos Sea era, having survived longer than many true ancient existences from the birth periods of Chaos Ancient Universes. His history was immensely long.
It was said he had been a colossus from antiquity for multiple epochal eras, a truly unfathomable existence.
Now descending, only a hazy, chaotic figure could be seen upon the carriage. His Great Dao aura was ethereal beyond measure, impossible to probe. He resided above the Thirty-Three Heavens, lofty and aloof, looking down upon the Supreme Ones from all sides, and also looking down upon Ye Chen.
Naturally, the thirteen great horrors were also famous existences.
Especially the giant elephant in the center, which was the Chaos Elephant Venerable that had once proved its Dao and become a Supreme One. It was terrifying beyond measure, not the least bit inferior to an ancient Great Emperor, merely willingly serving as the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's mount.
"Sacred Venerable above!"
Supreme One Mo Gu and the other three Supreme Ones bowed slightly in greeting. That was the supreme Giant behind them. As Supreme Ones, they were also followers of the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable!
At this moment, Supreme One Mo Gu's message allowed the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable to learn that Ye Chen possessed the legendary Origin Heavenly Gate.
Instantly, his gaze, from the carriage, pierced through the Thirty-Three Heavens and fell upon Ye Chen.
Boom—
An unparalleled might of the Great Dao, carrying the imposing majesty of a supreme Giant, descended from the heavens, pouring down and flooding the Ye Chen below.
Ye Chen and the other four Supreme Ones faced a formidable enemy.
Even if it was just the might of a Giant, it was shockingly terrifying. But as Supreme Ones, they could naturally withstand it.
Before the invincible carriage, the twelve Monarch-level great ferocious Beast Venerables stared fixedly at the five Supreme Ones with blood-red eyes, revealing greed, hoping to devour these Supreme Ones.
Only the Chaos Elephant Venerable kept its eyes closed, as if sunk in slumber.
"Somewhat interesting. You're not a true Supreme One, yet you can contend with Supreme Ones. Truly extraordinary."
"However, that is all."
"Hand over the Origin Heavenly Gate, and I will let you leave."
Upon the invincible carriage, the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable looked down from on high, speaking as if looking at ants, his words like heavenly decrees that all must obey.
As a colossus from antiquity, he naturally saw through the various aspects of Ye Chen, knowing he was not a true Supreme One but was in a stage of comprehensive transformation. However, a mysterious power sealed his aura, preventing a complete insight into all of Ye Chen's secrets.
But this was unimportant. To reach this step, nearly comparable to a true ancient Great Emperor, it was normal to have concealment methods. He didn't care.
He only cared about the legendary Origin Heavenly Gate.
As long as one mastered any Origin Holy Artifact, there would be a greater chance in the future to contend for the legendary "Eternal" Immortal Fate within the Origin Land.
The personal descent of a colossus from antiquity, especially an old Giant like the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable who had spanned numerous epochal eras, caused all the alarmed Supreme Ones to deeply sympathize with Ye Chen.
Even with the Sun Great Emperor, Mythical Supreme One, Chi Xue Supreme One, and Kunpeng Sovereign by his side, it was still of no avail. They could not contend against a true colossus from antiquity.
Before Ye Chen could speak, the Sun Great Emperor stepped forward. Sun Emperor light shone, Supreme One majestic power rippled, evolving an Emperor Dao domain to isolate the oppressive feeling of the colossus from antiquity. He said, "Sacred Venerable Senior, the Origin Heavenly Gate belongs to us. We beg your pardon, but we cannot hand it over."
Roar—
Roar—
...
Instantly, the twelve Monarch-level great ferocious Beast Venerables before the carriage roared. Their roars spread across the heavens, almost shattering the Thirty-Three Heavens.
If the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable hadn't given the order, they would have certainly charged at the Sun Great Emperor, surrounding and killing him like a pack of tigers attacking a dragon.
Even if this was an existence at the level of an ancient Great Emperor.
"When this seat speaks, how can you juniors interrupt recklessly."
Upon the invincible carriage, the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable snorted coldly. Rolling Giant might descended from the heavens, tearing open the Emperor Dao domain with a ripping sound and flooding the Sun Great Emperor.
Pfft—
The Sun Great Emperor staggered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Note, this was merely the might of a colossus from antiquity descending from the heavens, yet it actually made a Great Perfection Supreme One cough blood. It was unbelievable.
Supreme One Mo Gu and the other three Supreme Ones sneered. A mere Great Emperor dared to openly defy a colossus from antiquity? Clearly seeking death.
Especially the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable, who was a supreme Giant of unpredictable temperament, not tolerating others' doubts.
Even other colossi from antiquity were unwilling to easily provoke the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable.
Ye Chen and the other three were furious. This Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable was far too overbearing.
The Sun Great Emperor wiped the Emperor blood from his mouth, raised his head, and continued to meet the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's gaze. He was also angered, shouting loudly, "Old scoundrel, do you truly think that being a colossus from antiquity allows you to lord over us? For today's grievance, you will also pay a price!"
"Die!"
Who was the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable? A colossus from antiquity, dominating across myriad ancient epochs. How could he allow a mere newly-advanced ancient Great Emperor to clamor like this,provoke his Giant dignity? If he didn't descend with heavenly punishment, and word got out, could he still keep his face?
Within the carriage atop the Thirty-Three Heavens, endless power of a colossus from antiquity instantly surged and evolved, transforming into a great seal that covered multiple Emperor Domains. It locked onto the Sun Great Emperor below, descending from the heavens with overwhelming force, aiming to arrogantly and absolutely kill him.
Even though from the start, it was his overbearingness that came first, as a colossus from antiquity, his dignity could not beprovoke.
Even if a Supreme Oneprovoke, he would still kill!
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable was just that overbearing!
"Heh, so what if he's an ancient Great Emperor? Defying a colossus from antiquity is ultimately foolish, unworthy of sharing the Supreme One rank with us!" Supreme One Mo Gu and the other three Supreme Ones coldly watched.
The Kunpeng Sovereign, Mythical Supreme One, and Chi Xue Supreme One's expressions changed drastically. They wanted to step forward to block this strike together with the Sun Great Emperor. Otherwise, the Sun Great Emperor alone could not withstand it and would likely be blasted apart.
But Ye Chen stopped them. He looked up at the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable and said calmly, "Don't worry. Even if this Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable is a colossus from antiquity, we are not ones he can bully at will."
Boom—
As his words fell, the skies over a dozen vast Emperor Domains suddenly changed.
On the left, a heavenly sun rose, replacing the sun of this heaven and earth, shining with light of all ages.
On the right, a dark moon floated, shedding moonlight, with Yin power rippling.
One sun, one moon; one bright, one dark—like the two poles of Yin and Yang, dividing this heaven and earth.
Finally, it transformed into an immensely huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, enveloping these dozen-plus Emperor Domains, intercepting the great seal of the colossus from antiquity that was descending to shatter the Thirty-Three Heavens, preventing it from continuing its fall.
"A colossus from antiquity!"
Supreme One Mo Gu and the other three Supreme Ones changed color.
The Supreme Ones from all sides also revealed shock.
A Giant! Another colossus from antiquity had arrived!
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable gazed towards the horizon. He saw chaotic light surging and billowing, flooding the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, piercing through the Thirty-Three Heavens. A figure that could be called peerless strode over, carrying the Yin and Yang on his back, deep as an abyss, towering as a mountain.
Holding the sun and moon, grasping Yin and Yang!
In this world, only my body is invincible!
Tai Sheng Huang!
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable hadn't expected that Tai Sheng Huang, this colossus from antiquity, would be stirred to appear. But he was not afraid, only frowning slightly as he said, "Tai Sheng Huang, why do you obstruct this seat?"
Could it be that Tai Sheng Huang also had his eye on the Origin Heavenly Gate and wanted to seize it?
Naturally, he could not give it up. Even if Tai Sheng Huang came, he could not contend with him for it. At most, they would go to war!
Tai Sheng Huang stepped across heaven and earth with each stride, easily traversing vast Emperor Domains to descend upon this place.
Yin-Yang energy filled the sky from his body, making the Supreme Ones from all sides shudder. The twelve Monarch-level great ferocious Beast Venerables before the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's carriage trembled uncontrollably. The Chaos Elephant Venerable was also startled, opening its eyes, facing a formidable enemy.
"He—"
Tai Sheng Huang pointed at the Sun Great Emperor and said, "Is this seat's personally taught eldest disciple!"
As his words fell, the Supreme Ones from all sides were speechless. Supreme One Mo Gu and the other three Supreme Ones changed color even more.
How could they have imagined that among the five suddenly appearing Supreme Ones, the Sun Great Emperor would be the personally taught eldest disciple of the Giant Tai Sheng Huang.
Now thinking back, the Sun Emperor Dao mastered by the Sun Great Emperor was clearly identical to Tai Sheng Huang's Sun Emperor Dao.
It was just that, back then, how could they have thought of it? After all, the Sun Great Dao was a relatively common Great Dao. Although it was one of the supreme Great Daos, as a Supreme One, mastering such a supreme Great Dao was alsoonly natural / as it should be.
Precisely because of this, they would never have connected the two.
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's expression also slightly hardened. He hadn't expected that casually attacking an unfamiliar ancient Great Emperor would turn out to be Tai Sheng Huang's personally taught eldest disciple.
Naturally, he did not doubt Tai Sheng Huang's words. After all, as a colossus from antiquity, there was simply no need to lie.
"So it's Tai Sheng Huang's personally taught eldest disciple. Since that's the case, and this seat acted first, the matter ofprovoke can be resolved here."
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable nodded slightly.
"Return."
Tai Sheng Huang revealed a gentle, spring-like smile to the Sun Great Emperor. The latter smiled joyfully, stepped forward, and knelt on the ground, performing the grand bow of respect to a master: "Disciple Sun, pays respects to Teacher!"
"Good, good, good. Rise. During this time, you have already stabilized your Emperor realm and reached complete Great Perfection. Very good."
Tai Sheng Huang praised without reservation. To disciples like the Sun Great Emperor, he was both teacher and father—strict, yet also gentle and caring.
Rolling sun light entered the Sun Great Emperor's body, healing his internal injuries.
The Sun Great Emperor also revealed a smile, stood up tall, and was about to lead Ye Chen and the others towards Tai Sheng Huang.
But at this moment, the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable stopped them. His gaze locked onto Ye Chen as he said indifferently, "Tai Sheng Huang, your personally taught eldest disciple can be handed over to you. But this person, this seat wants."
This concerned Ye Chen, who possessed what he desired—the Origin Heavenly Gate!
Such a crucial treasure could not be allowed to simply leave before his eyes.
Mythical Supreme One, Chi Xue Supreme One, and the Kunpeng Sovereign all grew tense.
A colossus from antiquity demanding that the Battle Saint King stay—perhaps even Tai Sheng Huang might not be able to fully protect him.
In truth, none of them were very clear about the relationship between Ye Chen and Tai Sheng Huang.
"Him, you cannot keep," Tai Sheng Huang spoke.
"Why?" The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's voice turned slightly cold. "Tai Sheng Huang, regarding your personally taught eldest disciple, this seat can let it pass. But who is this person to you? Or are you deliberately opposing this seat?"
Across the dozen-plus vast Emperor Domains, accompanying the emotions of the colossus from antiquity, the temperature suddenly dropped countless degrees. The myriad Daos trembled and were retreating.
Tai Sheng Huang paid no mind, smiling slightly. "He can be considered half of this seat's personally taught disciple."
Another disciple of Tai Sheng Huang?
The assembled Supreme Ones were astonished. Although only half a personally taught disciple, his status was still not simple.
"You, come over quickly and pay respects to your teacher," Tai Sheng Huang said to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen knelt on the ground: "Disciple Ye Chen, pays respects to Teacher!"
Without the slightest hesitation.
He knew Tai Sheng Huang was intentionally protecting him.
Although he had imparted insights into Chaos, strictly speaking, it was at most the grace of transmission. As for a master-disciple relationship, it couldn't really be counted yet.
But now, with Tai Sheng Huang taking the initiative to speak, the ultimate purpose was to protect him.
The personal protection of a colossus from antiquity, especially a powerful Giant like Tai Sheng Huang, speaking like this was equivalent to granting a protective talisman. Few in the world would be willing to offend.
"Hmph, Tai Sheng Huang, you go too far," the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable snorted coldly, the sound exploding through the Thirty-Three Heavens, echoing across the dozen-plus Emperor Domains. He said coldly, "When did he become your disciple? Today, if you don't give this seat a satisfactory explanation, this seat will not let this matter rest easily."
Tai Sheng Huang's expression remained unchanged as he said to Ye Chen, "Perform the Chaos Dao technique this teacher taught you."
"Yes!"
Boom—
Ye Chen performed the Chaos Dao technique. Instantly, chaotic light bloomed, giving birth to myriad Daos, myriad worlds, myriad things, myriad spirits. It was as if he were the Chaos Sovereign, revered by all heavens. His aura was so powerful, nearly indistinguishable from a true Great Perfection Supreme One, extremely formidable.
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's expression darkened slightly. Such a supremely powerful and majestic Chaos Dao technique—within the Chaos Sea, aside from Tai Sheng Huang, the strongest practitioner of Chaos Dao techniques throughout the ages, who else could have taught it?
Indeed, this Chaos genius before him had a great relationship with Tai Sheng Huang.
But regarding the Origin Heavenly Gate, he was determined to obtain it. He said, "Fine, he can be handed over to you. But that Heavenly Gate in his possession must be handed over to this seat."
"Heavenly Gate?"
Tai Sheng Huang glanced at Ye Chen. The Sun Great Emperor had already sent a voice transmission, allowing him to understand everything in an instant. He smiled faintly and said, "The Origin Heavenly Gate, since it belongs to this seat's disciple, naturally cannot be handed over to you."
The Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable said coldly, "Tai Sheng Huang, this seat advises you not to go too far. This seat has already shown leniency twice today, letting those two go.provoke this seat requires paying a price. The Origin Heavenly Gate is that price. Otherwise, this cannot be settled peacefully. At most, we go to war."
