In the rear, various Supreme Ones who had heard the news arrived one after another, ascending Pangu Pass and watching the departing figure of the Battle Saint King with astonishment. His courage truly shook the heavens.
Of course, they were also curious. Three thousand years had passed—just how far had the Battle Saint King progressed?
A Quasi-Giant?
The distance between the Pangu Universe and the Alien Ancient Universe was not great, especially for a Supreme One traveling at incredible speed. In mere moments, he had arrived at the border fortress of the Alien Ancient Universe.
The Alien Ancient Universe had many border fortresses. The one before him was the same one Ye Chen had forcefully broken through years ago during his tribulation, exterminating countless aliens.
Now, the fortress stood tall once more, reinforced by the power of an ancient Great Emperor, its stability no less than that of the Immortal Heavenly Pass.
Beneath the fortress, endless alien armies were encamped, still monitoring the situation of the Pangu Universe at this stage, though their strongest were merely three Monarchs. The Alien Emperor was inside the fortress.
Ye Chen's appearance was silent and undetectable. Without deliberate effort, even an ancient Great Emperor could not sense his presence.
"It seems if I don't stir the grass and startle the snake, the Alien Emperor won't show himself."
Ye Chen smiled faintly, then reached out a hand. A vast Chaos Hand condensed from boundless Chaos Qi materialized out of thin air, appearing above the alien armies.
Boom—
The Chaos Hand descended. In an instant, before the alien armies stationed there could even react, they were utterly annihilated, reduced to ashes. Only a handful of powerful alien Monarchs and one Emperor remained.
Of course, this was deliberate on Ye Chen's part. With his strength, exterminating all the alien powerhouses would have been no issue.
Though they had escaped death, they were still severely wounded. At this moment, they stared in horror at Ye Chen, who stood high above in the heavens, looking down upon them, and cried out in shock, "Battle Saint King!"
No one had expected that this strongest genius of the Pangu Universe would appear silently at the border fortress of the Alien Ancient Universe and attack them.
Yet, no one dared to underestimate this Battle Saint King. According to intelligence, the Battle Saint King was an alternative Supreme-level existence capable of peak-level duels.
Unless an ancient Great Emperor took action, they stood no chance against him.
"Request the ancient Great Emperor of our universe to take action and kill the Battle Saint King!"
Knowing they were no match, the alien Emperor immediately sent a message. From the fortress, a vast, surging Emperor-level fluctuation erupted forth.
The Alien Emperor appeared—a majestic, towering Supreme Emperor's figure, surpassing the Thirty-Three Heavens, surrounded by stars and great worlds floating at his side, descending upon the magnificent fortress.
He saw Ye Chen's presence, his gaze sharpening as Emperor-level vision probed forth, piercing through the boundless Chaos Sea, yet unable to penetrate this Battle Saint King.
Seeing the Alien Emperor appear, Ye Chen smiled slightly. With a wave of his hand, he sealed the Chaos Sea and crushed these alien Emperors and ancient Monarchs to dust with a single slap.
Since the Alien Emperor had arrived, these small fry naturally had no reason to exist.
"Battle Saint King, you dare come alone? Your courage is not small!"
The Alien Emperor paid no mind to the deaths of the three Emperors. Compared to that, the life and death of the Battle Saint King were far more important to them.
He never would have imagined that the Battle Saint King would dare to come alone.
Ye Chen replied indifferently, "I come as I please. Why should there be so much fear? They are merely aliens."
"Battle Saint King, you are too arrogant!"
The Emperor roared. This Alien Emperor descended from the fortress into the Chaos Sea, giving rise to layers of extraordinary phenomena, towering over the Ninefold Heavens, wielding a Supreme Emperor Weapon as he furiously charged at the Battle Saint King.
However, behind this apparent rage, he had long since sent messages to other ancient Great Emperors within the Alien Ancient Universe, even Quasi-Giants.
For he deeply understood that the Battle Saint King possessed peak-level ancient Great Emperor combat power. Relying on him alone, killing the Battle Saint King would be difficult. It would be better to join forces with other Alien Emperors to significantly increase the success rate.
As for the possibility of other Pangu Universe Emperor Supremes lying in ambush within the Chaos Sea, it wasn't that he hadn't considered it. But he was, after all, an ancient Great Emperor, a Great Perfection Supreme. A sweep of his Emperor sense could detect that, at the very least, no other Emperor Supremes lay hidden in this part of the Chaos Sea—only the Battle Saint King alone.
Precisely because of this, he had descended.
"You've come."
Ye Chen, however, smiled upon seeing this Alien Emperor appear.
"I am the Brahman Emperor. Remember this Emperor's name—the one who will kill you!" the Alien Emperor shouted, immediately unleashing the peak means of an ancient Great Emperor to strike at Ye Chen.
"Brahman Emperor, I know you. I killed your offspring once."
During the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, when Ye Chen contended with various Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao offspring, he had once annihilated all alien Imperial Sons and Daughters in a single stroke, among them the Brahman Imperial Son.
The Brahman Emperor's expression was cold. "Merely one offspring. It cannot affect me."
As he spoke, he unleashed Emperor Dao means of terrifying power. With every move, scenes of ten thousand worlds collapsing, ten thousand Daos crumbling, and ten thousand races bleeding dry manifested. Supreme Emperor Principles tore through the Chaos Sea; nearly every strike could kill an Emperor, utterly terrifying.
Without a doubt, the Brahman Emperor was employing absolute means. Ordinarily, he would not act like this, but now, to kill the Battle Saint King, he unleashed his peak Great Emperor combat power completely.
Yet, Ye Chen's body was wreathed in billions of layers of Chaos light. The Tenfold Heavenly Divine Haloes reappeared, impervious to all laws, immune to all evils. The Brahman Emperor's attacks, upon reaching his vicinity, were completely disintegrated, utterly incapable of harming him in the slightest.
This shocked both the Brahman Emperor and the many Supremes closely watching from Pangu Pass. The Battle Saint King's strength had actually reached this level? Even a peak Great Emperor going all out could hardly affect him.
The Tenfold Heavenly Divine Haloes were exceptionally special, radiating powerful Heavenly Dao power as if ten layers of Heavenly Dao encircled and empowered him, making him a Heavenly Dao Controller.
"Heavenly Dao Controller?"
The Brahman Emperor exclaimed in surprise.
Boom—
At that moment, Ye Chen made his move, executing Chaos Dao techniques. He stepped forward and unleashed the Heaven-Shattering Style.
Blood light surged through the Chaos Sea as the Brahman Emperor's shoulder exploded.
With just the first strike, this Alien Emperor, renowned throughout the Chaos Sea for two epochs, was wounded. Though not fatal, it proved Ye Chen's formidable power.
"Father!"
Qian Xun watched with excitement. After three thousand years, his father had taken action again, and indeed, he was far superior to the past.
The assembled Supremes also revealed looks of astonishment.
So strong!
Strong to an excessive degree.
Was this the means of the strongest Eternal Emperor in history?
"Impossible!"
The Brahman Emperor was shocked. In their very first exchange, the Battle Saint King had wounded him like this.
This Battle Saint King was far, far stronger than imagined.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Instantly, countless powerful divine abilities erupted. Emperor might bloomed, tearing through the Chaos Sea, displaying the supreme majesty of an Alien Emperor!
"Void Style!"
A light shout—the second style of Chaos, the Void Style.
A Void Black Hole appeared, directly swallowing all of the Brahman Emperor's attacks, rendering them utterly empty.
"Myriad Realms Style!"
The Myriad Realms Style, far surpassing its power from years past, manifested. In an instant, no less than ten thousand true great worlds descended, crashing madly upon the Brahman Emperor with thunderous force, triggering the most terrifying explosion.
Even the Brahman Emperor could not withstand it. The collapse of ordinary worlds would not harm him even if he did not act; his indestructible Emperor Body alone would suffice to render ten thousand worlds harmless.
But the myriad heavens and worlds evolved by the Myriad Realms Style—each layer of world was comparable to an Emperor's great world. With ten thousand layers exploding, even a powerful Great Emperor could not endure. His skin split, flesh torn, with many areas deep enough to reveal bone.
In less than ten exchanges, the Brahman Emperor had fallen into absolute disadvantage.
