Behind them, the two colossal gates remained open, with a sea of powerful experts continuously descending upon Tai Sheng Huang's city.
Led by Emperors, formidable legions composed of Ancient Monarchs, Quasi-Monarchs, God Kings, Great Powers, and Heavenly Kings appeared one after another, numbering in the tens of thousands. This terrifying assembly was visible to all powers across the Origin Ancient Path, causing hearts to tremble with fear.
Such a lineup could be said to surpass the number of Supreme Ones possessed by any single major power currently on the Origin Ancient Path.
Especially the War Emperor, who had left and returned, this time bringing back a scepter forged from four types of Chaos Immortal Gold. It was none other than the Sacred Venerable Scepter of the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable, now completely reforged. Moreover, one could vaguely sense that this Sacred Venerable Scepter contained unparalleled Supreme Authority power.
Wielding the Sacred Venerable Scepter, the War Emperor seemed like the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable at his peak standing before them, possessing the imposing might of an ancient titan.
The various Supreme Ones were shocked.
On the Origin Ancient Path, an ancient titan's aura burst through the thirty-three heavens. With a single roar, countless stars were blasted into dust.
That was the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable, his expression filled with immense fury. He, a first-generation Giant, had not only been decisively defeated by Tai Sheng Huang, ambushed by the Flame Emperor, and had a portion of his Emperor Soul obliterated and two-sixths seized by the Battle Saint Ancestor, but now even his Sacred Venerable Scepter had been taken, becoming another's possession.
Furthermore, he could clearly sense that within that reforged Sacred Venerable Scepter lay the two-sixths of his Emperor Soul he had lost.
The Sun Great Emperor exclaimed in shock, "Senior Brother War Emperor, what is this?"
Ye Chen, Kunpeng Sovereign, and Shenkong Great Emperor were also astonished. How terrifying was this Sacred Venerable Scepter? Even Supreme Ones as powerful as them felt a deadly crisis from it. A single strike from it would likely leave a Supreme One either dead or severely wounded.
Even a Quasi-Giant would not be spared.
The War Emperor said, "During this time, Master completely refined the two-sixths of Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's Emperor Soul, annihilating its true spirit. He also gathered the shattered fragments of the Sacred Venerable Scepter and reforged them into one. The original divine essence of the Sacred Venerable Scepter has merged with these two-sixths of the Emperor Soul, becoming even more powerful and truly mastering the Supreme Authority. This is an immortal weapon of antiquity specially forged by Master these past days. It is more powerful than the original Sacred Venerable Scepter. Moreover, as long as a Quasi-Giant wields it, they can unleash combat power rivaling the peak of an ancient titan, with the Supreme Authority in hand."
Upon hearing this, all sides drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
The Supreme Ones of Tai Sheng Huang's domain were both shocked and overjoyed. As expected of the Battle Saint Ancestor, the number one in combat power. He had actually forged such a peerless war weapon. Once a Quasi-Giant held it, they could truly rival an ancient titan.
Of course, if not for refining the two-sixths of Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's Emperor Soul, and the fact that the Sacred Venerable Scepter was originally a weapon of an ancient titan sealing Supreme Authority, it would have been impossible to achieve this so smoothly.
Now, at the cost of Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable's two-sixths Emperor Soul, it had completely connected with the Supreme Authority, allowing a Quasi-Giant wielding the Sacred Venerable Scepter to also control the Supreme Authority, in no way inferior to a true ancient titan.
It could be said this was a forbidden-level supreme treasure and killing weapon.
It must be known that even if a Quasi-Giant wielded a fully awakened weapon of an ancient titan, they could not compare to an ancient titan; the gap was still vast. For this Sacred Venerable Scepter to reach this step was utterly heaven-defying.
Of course, to elevate the Sacred Venerable Scepter to this level, the Battle Saint Ancestor had likely paid a certain price!
Tai Sheng Huang said, "He probably invited the Alchemy Emperor to assist in the forging."
The War Emperor replied, "Uncle is correct. The Alchemy Emperor's mastery of artifact forging is also peerless in the world. To better forge it, we invited the Alchemy Emperor and Uncle Flame Emperor."
In this era, the Battle Saint Ancestor was number one in attack power, the Alchemy Emperor was peerless in alchemy and artifact forging, and the Flame Emperor controlled the strongest Chaos Source Flame. Only the combination of these three could forge such a new immortal weapon of antiquity in a mere ten days.
Naturally, time acceleration must have been employed during the process.
Now, this Sacred Venerable Scepter had been renamed the Supreme Scepter!
The Supreme Scepter, wielding the Supreme Authority, commanded the myriad heavens.
In a distant place, the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable was filled with boundless fury, wishing he could charge over and kill them all.
That previous battle was not simply a case of 'suffering a double loss'; it was a truly heavy price paid in the real sense.
Having lost half his Emperor Soul and his Sacred Venerable Scepter, his strength had plummeted. Although he hadn't fallen to the level of a Quasi-Giant, his power was probably only comparable to the current Taishi Heavenly Emperor and Cang Xiong Great Heavenly Venerate.
Tai Sheng Huang spoke, "Good. Since that's the case, for this journey to the Pangu Universe, you shall wield the Supreme Scepter. If you are unwilling, then hand it to Wuxiang or the Golden Crow Great Emperor to wield."
The Golden Crow Great Emperor was a Quasi-Giant. Wuxiang Monarch, having refined the Heavenly Dao Sun, could also rival a Quasi-Giant.
Either of them wielding it could similarly unleash combat power rivaling an ancient titan.
With the Supreme Scepter in hand, under the current rules of the Giant Alliance Pact, the Pangu Universe would be virtually invincible.
As for Shenkong Great Emperor, in the end, he had only just joined. He could not be completely trusted, so it was impossible to hand the Supreme Scepter to him.
The War Emperor nodded, naturally understanding this reasoning.
Just before departure, Tai Sheng Huang's palm manifested thirty-four dazzling light spheres, no more, no less, corresponding to the thirty-four Supreme Ones present. With a flick of his finger, they scattered and landed in the hands of each Supreme One. Tai Sheng Huang said, "These are Emperor Pills personally refined for me by the Alchemy Emperor: 'Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills'. As long as one is not completely annihilated in body and soul, swallowing one will allow direct revival."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the many Supreme Ones grew fervent.
The Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill belonged to the tenth-rank Emperor Pill tier, and was no ordinary tenth-rank Emperor Pill.
Across the vast world, they were extremely rare. Even many Supreme Ones did not truly possess a single tenth-rank Emperor Pill.
Moreover, the conditions for refining a tenth-rank Emperor Pill were exceedingly harsh. The materials alone were enough to stump countless people, let alone requiring an Alchemy God-level alchemist. That level, to some degree, could almost be considered on par with ancient Great Emperors, but the existence of Alchemy Gods was far rarer than Supreme Ones.
Furthermore, the success rate of refining Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills had never been high. Even an Alchemy God had only a twenty to thirty percent success rate.
Probably only the Alchemy Emperor, the number one alchemist of all time, could possess so many Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills.
However, a full thirty-four Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills—such a grand gesture still stunned the assembled Supreme Ones.
Ye Chen received his, his divine sense probing. The medicine bottle was extraordinary, forged with Emperor Dao power, containing wisps of Emperor Dao force to seal the pill's medicinal efficacy within, preventing dissipation. Upon careful sensing, the spiritual light within the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill was vast and boundless, no less than that of a true living being.
Within the pill, endless Great Dao rules were contained, especially with Life Emperor Dao as the core. Even with Ye Chen's current alchemy attainment, which was enough to rank at the tenth-rank Alchemy God realm, he still felt how extraordinary this Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill was. He himself lacked the confidence to refine something like it.
But to refine so many Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills was somewhat too shocking.
Even for the Alchemy Emperor, it couldn't have been easy. It would be hard to possess so many materials for refining.
To request the Alchemy Emperor to refine so many Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills, Tai Sheng Huang, the Battle Saint Ancestor, and the Flame Emperor must have paid an unimaginably enormous price.
