"The Battle Saint King!?"
All three sides recognized Ye Chen's identity.
What made the various parties shudder was that after a thousand years, the Battle Saint King had become incomparably more powerful.
When he had left, he was merely comparable to a peak Sovereign. Now, upon his return, the layers of aura emanating from him were in no way inferior to Taichu Emperor, an Eternal Monarch, and could challenge an ancient Great Emperor.
"Has he become an Eternal Monarch?"
Sovereign of Formlessness and Taichu Emperor were astonished, but soon frowned.
In their perception, Ye Chen's aura felt even more obscure and profound.
Vaguely, they only sensed that he appeared more transcendent, perfect, and complete than Taichu Emperor.
What exactly was going on?
"A Supreme One?"
On the side of the Alien Ancient Universe and the Chaos Burial Ground, the Supreme Ones were greatly shocked. In the short span of a thousand years, the Battle Saint King had actually reached this step. The power of his aura was in no way inferior to a Great Perfection Supreme One.
Moreover, whether it was Wan Yan Great Emperor or Boundary Sovereign, as Quasi-Giants, they could clearly sense that Ye Chen had not reached this step by relying on external objects, but through his own profound cultivation and attainment, truly rivaling the realm of a Great Perfection Supreme One.
Boundary Sovereign was one thing, but Wan Yan Great Emperor had once battled Ye Chen, nearly descending into the Pangu Universe, and was only forced back by the latter borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun.
At that time, Ye Chen's fame was widespread, possessing power comparable to a peak Tenth Heaven Sovereign, but in the eyes of a Quasi-Giant like him who suppressed numerous Supreme Ones, he was still as weak as an ant.
Who would have thought that after over a thousand years, upon reappearing, he was already comparable to a Great Perfection Supreme One.
No wonder even the supreme Giant slumbering within the universe's origin ancestral temple revealed killing intent, determined to eliminate this youth. Given the potential he displayed, there was indeed a necessity to kill him.
However, while his potential was terrifyingly boundless, he was also foolish. Even if his cultivation was enough to rival a Great Perfection Supreme One, appearing alone outside Pangu Pass and exposing himself before him was purely suicidal.
With this thought, Wan Yan Great Emperor revealed a cold smile and said, "Battle Saint King, your potential is indeed rare in this emperor's lifetime. No wonder you are hailed as rivaling the youth of the Primordial Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor. But you are also foolish. Your solitary appearance is purely suicidal. Today, this emperor will kill you!"
His figure moved, preparing to charge at Ye Chen.
The Supreme Ones atop Pangu Pass also panicked, ready to take action.
However, before anyone could react, four more figures descended one after another from the black circle behind him.
These four figures were even more powerful than Ye Chen. Observing their auras made people gasp in shock.
They were all unmistakably at the Great Perfection Supreme One level.
"Four ancient Great Emperors, plus the unfathomably mysterious Battle Saint King—that's nearly five Supreme Ones!"
"That's the Sun Emperor... no, he should now be called the Sun Great Emperor. He has attained the Dao and become an Emperor."
"It's big brother."
On Pangu Pass, the supreme powerhouses exclaimed in amazement.
Dark Night Emperor was also present, and Taichu Emperor naturally recognized the Sun Great Emperor's identity, feeling joy for him.
After many years apart, the Sun Emperor had successfully attained the Dao and become an Emperor, adding another Supreme One's strength to the Pangu Universe.
"Aside from the Battle Saint King, there are actually four more Supreme Ones who aren't afraid of death following him. Hmm, Tai Sheng Huang's eldest disciple, the Sun Emperor, has also become an ancient Great Emperor."
Many on the side of the Alien Ancient Universe recognized the Sun Great Emperor's identity.
"Heh, what does it matter if five more Supreme Ones appear? It can't change the current situation in the slightest. On the contrary, they're just delivering themselves to their deaths."
Wan Yan Great Emperor watched Ye Chen and the other four Supreme Ones with great interest, as if looking at five delicious morsels.
In fact, without needing anyone else, he alone was enough to suppress these five Supreme Ones.
However, under the intentional or unintentional actions of the two Quasi-Giants, the two Chaos Ancient Universes did not attack immediately. Instead, they watched the five Supreme Ones as if they were delicious food.
In the face of an overwhelming number of Supreme Ones, the addition of a mere five Supreme Ones could not change the situation of the Pangu Universe being pressed and beaten in the slightest.
Moreover, their appearance might be able to break the stalemate that had persisted.
After all, they believed the Supreme Ones of the Pangu Universe would not sit idly by and ignore the life and death of these five Supreme Ones. Perhaps they would open the long-besieged Pangu Pass.
"Open the gates of Pangu Pass."
Sovereign of Formlessness immediately ordered.
"But—"
The other Pangu Universe powerhouses paled. Once Pangu Pass's gates were opened, it might not be so easy to close them again.
"Those five are more important!" Golden Crow Great Emperor also spoke.
"At worst, we fight to the death." Sovereign of Formlessness also said, the Heavenly Dao Sun ready to be refined into his body at any moment.
For the first time since its establishment, the gates of Pangu Pass officially opened.
However, at this moment, the eagerly watching armies of the Chaos Burial Ground and the Alien Ancient Universe directly charged forward.
Especially Wan Yan Great Emperor and Boundary Sovereign, along with nearly thirty ancient Sovereigns and Emperors, had been closely monitoring the movements of Pangu Pass all along.
The Alien Ancient Universe bore overwhelming killing intent towards the Battle Saint King; how could they allow him to live?
Moreover, Pangu Pass actively opening its gates was a great opportunity to launch an assault into the interior of the Pangu Universe and completely occupy it.
Immediately, the ancient Sovereigns and Emperors of the two Chaos Ancient Universes, led by the two Quasi-Giants, directly charged forward to attack.
"Intercept them! Protect the entry of the five Supreme Ones into the pass!"
Golden Crow Great Emperor, along with Sovereign of Formlessness who had instantly merged with the Heavenly Dao Sun, descended. Mystic God Great Emperor and Taichu Emperor also exited the pass, wielding the Realm Tower.
Even though the enemy's number of Supreme Ones far exceeded theirs, they showed no fear.
"Scram!"
Golden Crow Great Emperor and Sovereign of Formlessness roared, unleashing the boundless might of Quasi-Giants. Mystic God Great Emperor and Taichu Emperor, fully activating the Realm Tower in their hands, caused spacetime power to ripple with profound influence, altering spacetime across an incredibly vast expanse of the Chaos Sea, isolating over ten ancient Sovereigns and Emperors.
But even so, there were still nearly twenty ancient Sovereigns and Emperors charging forward without any obstruction.
Their numbers were completely sufficient to annihilate Ye Chen's group of a mere five.
"Battle Saint King, die!" Seven alien ancient Great Emperors descended before Ye Chen, attacking simultaneously.
When a Supreme One attacked, they could already pierce through the ages of time, shatter the myriad Daos, andshatterMyriad Realms. How much more so when seven ancient Great Emperors struck together? It was truly a case of gods blocking, kill gods; Buddhas blocking, kill Buddhas!
No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, even if he rivaled a true ancient Great Emperor, under the combined assault of seven ancient Great Emperors, he would undoubtedly die!
However, Ye Chen's expression did not change, filled with mockery as he said, "Many years ago, I often returned the favor in kind. How much more so today? How could I be so foolish. The ones who are going to die are you!"
"What do you mean?" The seven alien Emperors had a very bad premonition.
Boom—
Suddenly, an imperial halberd shot across the sky, carrying peerlessly powerful Supreme Emperor Laws to clash with the attacks of the seven alien Emperors.
Amidst the thunderous roar, the combined assault of the seven Emperors was completely neutralized.
The seven alien Emperors changed color: "Who is it?"
They looked towards the black hole. Were there still people inside?
"Heh, who said only we few were returning."
Ye Chen chuckled lightly. The still-unclosed black hole was a spacetime channel. Suddenly, it trembled, and wave after wave of overwhelming Supreme might descended and manifested.
Visible to the naked eye, one terrifying supreme figure after another steadily walked out from the black hole, descending into the Chaos Sea.
One, two, three... a full twenty-nine!
From within the black hole, a total of twenty-nine Supreme Ones descended with imposing might, landing before Pangu Pass.
Astonishing!
