Even Mo Shitian's father, that supreme overlord who once dominated an epoch of the Alien Ancient Universe, spoke with his own blood descendant with an indifference of the Great Dao, showing little emotion.
But when discussing that great enemy of old, the Battle Saint King, even he revealed a trace of gravity. He had muttered to himself that he never expected the Battle Saint King to grow so completely, and to reach this stage in merely a few thousand years. It was truly heaven-defying, surpassing his own younger self. To kill him now would be far from simple, perhaps requiring a massive and grievous price.
Without a doubt, that great enemy of old, the Battle Saint King who could now easily suppress and slay Supreme Emperors, had reached a height he could not hope to match. He had begun to be taken seriously by the true supreme overlords who overlooked the Chaos Sea.
He, Mo Shitian, a present-day Emperor, could only gaze at his back!
On the other side.
Above the cosmos of the Alien Ancient Universe, the might of the Heavenly Dao was intensely concentrated. Ordinary Supreme Emperors would not dare tread here lightly.
This place was precisely the dwelling of Qingtian Dadi, who had defected from the Pangu Universe in ancient times.
Qingtian Dadi, the former Tenth Heaven of the Pangu Universe, was an existence extraordinary in itself.
The Pangu Universe was suspected to be the only "Eternal" Chaos Ancient Universe born from the fall and union of Pangu, the sole one throughout history. The Tenth Heaven was the strongest Heavenly Dao it had nurtured, possessing the power of a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant even in the Mythical Epoch. His defection directly caused the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Universe to become incomplete. By this epoch, it had caused the once glorious and prosperous Pangu Universe, which could rival the Alien Ancient Universe and the Primordial Immortal World, to decline to its weakest state.
Now, residing at the location of the Alien Ancient Universe's Heavenly Dao, Qingtian Dadi silently refined its Heavenly Dao, advancing toward an even more glorious and peak state.
At this stage, even among the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants of the alien race, few could truly know Qingtian Dadi's real strength, but it was certainly far above that of many Giants.
Within the unparalleled Heavenly Dao power, a tall, straight figure sat cross-legged, emanating powerful Heavenly Dao force.
This person was Di Wentian, offspring of Qingtian Dadi.
No one knew how Qingtian Dadi, as a Heavenly Dao, had given birth to this offspring Di Wentian. But undoubtedly, as Qingtian Dadi's child, Di Wentian was born with the innate talent to control the Heavenly Dao.
Naturally, he had also learned of the news from the border pass of the Alien Ancient Universe. After a long silence, he finally sighed with emotion: "Truly worthy of being the greatest monster of all time. The Battle Saint King is indeed heaven-defying, to have reached this stage. I am far inferior to him."
He was strong, now at the Emperor level, accumulating power on one hand while comprehending the Heavenly Dao on the other, consciously preparing to charge toward Eternal Emperorhood.
Only as an Eternal Emperor could one, during the Dao Proving period, leap directly to become a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant.
Within the boundless Heavenly Dao power, Qingtian Dadi's voice resounded: "He is also a Heavenly Dao controller."
Di Wentian's expression shook...
Back then, Ye Chen had slaughtered many alien Imperial Sons and Daughters twice within the Alien Ancient Universe, first in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. But the alien race had accumulated over epoch after epoch; they were not completely wiped out. Other Imperial Sons and Daughters awakened from slumber and had gradually risen over these past millennia.
However, these years, they had almost grown up hearing the legends of their enemy, the Battle Saint King.
The Battle Saint King was an enemy, but he was absolutely a legend in his own right.
They were proud and arrogant, yet they admitted they were far from being a match for this Battle Saint King.
It had to be said, the battle at the cosmic border pass had a tremendous impact on the younger generation of the alien race.
Even though the Battle Saint King was now over five thousand years old, he was still considered incredibly young. Some alien prodigies had once competed in the same generation, at least directly or indirectly on the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain or the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Five thousand years had passed. Many had striven hard, but not everyone was so fortunate. Even among the alien prodigies fortunate enough to walk the Ultimate Ancient Path, some had only reached the Great Power level so far. As for Divine Kings and Quasi-Monarchs, there were some, but not many. A handful had reached the Ancient Monarch level.
Ultimately, they were far from the Great Perfection Prodigy level of Imperial Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao offspring, let alone the Battle Saint King, hailed as the number one prodigy of the Chaos Sea.
Learning of his news again, they never expected he had reached this stage, akin to a Quasi-Giant.
And how many of them would never touch Emperorhood in their lifetime, let alone prove their Dao to become Supreme, much less be mentioned in the same breath as the Battle Saint King.
The hunting and suppression of an Ancient Great Emperor was an event that could absolutely be called extraordinary within the Chaos Sea.
Especially the hunting of an alien Ancient Great Emperor had far-reaching consequences.
An invisible ripple was quietly beginning to spread.
...
Meanwhile, within the Pangu Universe.
Ye Chen led Qian Xun into seclusion. Before his eldest son, he released the Brahman Emperor.
"Battle Saint King, what do you intend?"
The moment he was released, the Brahman Emperor did not immediately try to fight Ye Chen to the death, because he knew he was no longer a match for this completely risen latecomer. Even though the other was clearly not a true Supreme One, his strength was no less than a true Supreme's, perhaps even far greater.
This point was indisputable by anyone.
Moreover, he could sense that within this space he now found himself, not only was the void incredibly stable, but it was also permeated with a powerful aura of Chaos Ancient Universe origin. He felt as if he were facing a Chaos Ancient Universe origin itself, just not as intense, much weaker.
Could it be that this place was the origin space of the Pangu Universe?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but reveal a look of fervent desire.
In the previous epoch—the Mythical Epoch—they had launched the Great Mythical Destruction War against the Pangu Universe at its most prosperous and powerful period, all to obtain the Universe Origin, intending to gain something related to the legendary "Eternity" left by Pangu, who was suspected to be the "Only Eternal," and achieve Eternity.
Unfortunately, that war caused the immensely powerful Pangu Universe to undergo the Great Mythical Destruction, with even many Emperors perishing and the Heavenly Emperor being delayed. The Pangu Universe, one of the most powerful Chaos Ancient Universes in the Chaos Sea, directly declined to its weakest state, almost being buried and destroyed.
Yet, just as the alien race was closest to success, at the critical moment, the Primordial Immortal World emerged, preventing them from advancing further.
In fact, at that time, everyone believed the Primordial Immortal World's intervention forced the Alien Ancient Universe to retreat, thinking the Alien Ancient Universe's overall strength was inferior to the Primordial Immortal World's, hence the retreat.
Only the highest-level Supreme Ones and the supreme experts above truly knew.
The alien race's overall power was so great it did not fear the Primordial Immortal World, even having the Primogenitor, that Ten Thousand Ancient Times Invincible One.
To obtain the Pangu Universe's Universe Origin, they were willing to wage war.
But at that moment, the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Invincible One slumbering in the deepest layers of the Primordial Immortal World, not inferior to the Primogenitor, awakened, unleashing peerless fluctuations that shook the ages.
At the same time, the Universe Emperor was invited over, and Supreme Ones and even Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants from multiple Chaos Ancient Universes personally descended.
Moreover, the Pangu Universe still had living Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants like the Battle Saint Ancestor, Tai Sheng Huang, the Space-Time Emperor, the Reincarnation Emperor, leading the surviving Emperors of the Pangu Universe to resist.
It was as if the Alien Ancient Universe had to oppose the entire Chaos Sea.
Precisely because of this, the Alien Ancient Universe was forced to withdraw its armies and soon after signed the Giants' Covenant.
But regarding the Pangu Universe's Universe Origin, the Alien Ancient Universe had always coveted it, never giving up.
If given the chance, the Brahman Emperor felt he might obtain this clump of Pangu Universe Universe Origin, perhaps even have a chance to achieve Eternity.
The more he thought this, the harder it was to suppress his excitement.
Over countless years, few things could cause a Supreme One's heart to ripple, let alone excite them.
Obtaining the Pangu Universe's Universe Origin was one of them!
However, the Brahman Emperor did not realize this was not the origin space of the Pangu Universe at all. On the contrary, it couldn't even be considered part of the Pangu Universe, but belonged to another universe—Ye Chen's Chaos Small Universe.
Here, Ye Chen could sense everything; he was the universe's master.
The Brahman Emperor's various reactions could not be hidden from him, the master of the Chaos Small Universe. Ye Chen sneered inwardly; he actually harbored such ambitions.
Of course, if the Brahman Emperor knew his true location, he would likely despair.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not explain. He said calmly, "Nothing much. My eldest son wishes to become an Eternal Monarch, but currently lacks a little. I believe refining a Supreme One's essence, spirit, Emperor Soul, origin, Emperor Body, Emperor World, and so on should be enough to smoothly cross the threshold and become a true Eternal Monarch. I believe you, Fellow Daoist, would be very willing to help my son complete this step."
The Brahman Emperor's pupils instantly contracted. He could also sense Qian Xun's power. Although his realm was at the Ancient Monarch level, his aura was completely no less than a true Emperor's, even stronger by a significant margin.
That was the supreme invincible Battle Sacred Body, and moreover, it was the opportunity preparing for transcendence.
Without a second thought, the Brahman Emperor erupted with Emperor might, attempting to break free and escape.
Otherwise, he truly might be refined by Qian Xun.
After all, facing the Battle Saint King, he had no confidence.
Boom—
Ye Chen made his move, forcefully shattering the Brahman Emperor's Emperor might. His Chaos Saint Fist descended from above, instantly causing countless cracks to appear on that indestructible Emperor Body, nearly shattering it. The Brahman Emperor's figure was sent flying.
Then, Ye Chen said to Qian Xun, "Qian Xun, fight him. It's a good chance to verify your current peak combat power."
"Good!"
Qian Xun stepped forward and unleashed the Battle Saint Technique, forcefully striking the Brahman Emperor, bringing the Dao and techniques of the Battle Saint lineage to their ultimate divine might.
Just as his father said, he too wanted to know: How strong was he now?
