As Ye Chen executed the forbidden divine ability, 'World Creation Universe'...
Boom—
The phantom of a vast and boundless Ancient Chaos Universe instantly manifested, stretching across countless billions of miles, vast and majestic enough to rival a primordial Chaos World. The expansive heaven and earth between the 37th and 38th Immortal Passes was nearly filled to every inch of space, a testament to how utterly magnificent the evolved phantom of the Ancient Chaos Universe was.
Within this phantom of the Ancient Chaos Universe, though seemingly illusory, space, time, destiny, nothingness, truth... all the myriad Daos of the heavens were present. There were also billions upon billions of heavenly stars, myriad realms, and even the existence of countless races and spirits, constructing a true, genuine Ancient Chaos Universe.
Even if it was merely a cosmic phantom.
But this was executed based on the origin mini-universe Ye Chen possessed.
The moment it manifested, an unprecedented pressure from the Ancient Chaos Universe instantly spread out, affecting the first thirty-seven Immortal Passes and even startling the subsequent, more immortal and supreme passes beyond.
Especially the subsequent, world-shaking Immortal Passes, where supreme existences who had not emerged for ages had been hibernating for years, secluded in meditation to seek further advancement.
But at this moment, with the emergence of the Ancient Chaos Universe phantom, that kind of peerless might was displayed without reservation, startling even those most terrifying existences.
Among them, behind the 40th Immortal Pass, a colossus from antiquity was clearly awakening, opening its peerless ancient immortal eyes to gaze upon this place from afar.
With a single glance, that Ancient Chaos Universe phantom pierced through the layers of Immortal Passes, entering its vision. It let out a sound of surprise: "Evolving an Ancient Chaos Universe? And achieving the coexistence of myriad Daos, myriad spirits, myriad realms... truly extraordinary!"
It must be known that even for a colossus from antiquity, evolving such an Ancient Chaos Universe phantom was incredibly difficult. Being able to accomplish this step was enough to indicate the other party's extraordinariness.
However, it was merely a surprise. With their capabilities, even if difficult, they could also achieve it. Besides, the other party was merely a Quasi-Giant; they wouldn't pay him excessive attention.
Unaware of the situation behind the 40th Pass, Ye Chen only felt the origin mini-universe within his body resonating in a special way. Streams of peerless cosmic power surged forth, pouring into the Ancient Chaos Universe phantom.
The Ancient Chaos Universe phantom became even more real, as if it were the true manifestation of the origin mini-universe within his body.
Clearly, executing this move, 'World Creation Universe,' with Quasi-Giant level cultivation made it countless times more powerful than before. Even the phantom of the Ancient Chaos Universe became more solidified. Although it still couldn't compare to a true Ancient Chaos Universe, its power was absolutely earth-shattering and unprecedented.
Ye Chen felt a kind of confidence: even if a Quasi-Giant were here, he could blast it apart!
"Break for me!"
With a great roar, Ye Chen pushed the Ancient Chaos Universe phantom forward, sending it crashing horizontally into the 38th Immortal Pass.
The 38th Immortal Pass belonged to the later-stage Quasi-Giant level passes, densely covered with countless Immortal Dao rule patterns interwoven upon it.
As powerful as Ye Chen was, after his earlier frenzied assaults using divine abilities for half a day, it had only been left teetering on the brink. This showed the immortal, indestructible nature of this pass.
It was only because it was Ye Chen, a Chaos Quasi-Giant of the Battle Saint lineage famed for offensive power. If it were any other Ancient Emperor or supreme immortal, they wouldn't be able to shake it in the slightest.
But this time, executing 'World Creation Universe,' the boundless Ancient Chaos Universe phantom manifested and crashed forward.
An incomparable impact force!
Just the first collision.
Boom—
The towering, lofty Immortal Pass teetered, showing numerous cracks that spread across the entire surface of the pass.
Countless Quasi-Immortal King level immortal patterns were destroyed. The 38th Immortal Pass swayed precariously, completely losing its earlier sense of being as firm and unmoving as a mountain.
This was the strongest forbidden divine ability—World Creation Universe!
Ye Chen's might was peerless, his chaos boundless. His fist continued pushing forward!
The Ancient Chaos Universe phantom continued to be pushed, crashing against the Immortal Pass.
In just a moment!
Boom—
The 38th Immortal Pass was suddenly blasted open!
Completely shattered!
Ye Chen passed through the barrier, facing the 39th Immortal Pass!
This was a pass even more immortal than the 38th. Quasi-Immortal King level Dao patterns were densely packed to the extreme. Even from the pass itself, a dense aura of an Immortal King emanated.
This represented a world-shaking Immortal Pass nearly equivalent to a true Immortal King!
For a fleeting moment, it was as if a world-shaking Immortal King was slumbering here, suppressing this place. Even though not fully awakened, remaining in a deep slumber, an infinite Immortal King aura still billowed from it, far surpassing ordinary Quasi-Immortal Kings.
If Quasi-Immortal Kings or Quasi-Giants were subdivided into ten heavens like other major realms, this would represent the 9th Heaven of Quasi-Immortal Kings.
Of course, there was no such subdivision.
Whether it was Eternal Emperors, Supremes, or Quasi-Giants, within the same level, the gap between individuals couldn't be too vast. At most, due to their individual specialties or methods, there might be a certain difference, but far from the enormous gap like the ten heavens of Monarchs.
In other words, among Quasi-Giants, wanting to kill another Quasi-Giant was exceedingly difficult.
The 'Forty-Nine Immortal Passes' secret realm here was just more precise and accurate.
Facing the 39th Immortal Pass, akin to a slumbering Immortal King, Ye Chen naturally stood firm and fearless. The more difficult the barrier, the more challenging it was.
Since becoming an Eternal Emperor four thousand years ago, he too wanted to know: just how far had his true strength reached?
"Break!"
With another roar, Ye Chen proceeded to assault the 39th Immortal Pass.
The Ancient Chaos Universe phantom, not yet completely destroyed, crashed against the 39th Immortal Pass. The incomparably majestic power of the Ancient Chaos Universe slammed fiercely into the pass.
Unprecedented!
Incomparable majestic power shook the Immortal Pass, the rumbling sounds unceasing.
If there were world-heavens before the 39th Immortal Pass, then at this moment, no matter how many world-heavens there were, they would be annihilated.
Even an origin Emperor World would be obliterated.
The 39th Immortal Pass developed cracks, almost on the verge of collapse. But boundless, peerless Immortal King rules manifested, billions upon billions of them, interweaving upon it, stubbornly resisting the strongest assault of 'World Creation Universe.'
"If that's the case, then what about this move?"
Ye Chen gave a light laugh. The Chaos Universe phantom before him suddenly entered a state of annihilation. The unprecedented destructive power was enough to severely injure, or perhaps even kill, a Quasi-Giant. Infinite destructive power, like a black hole, erupted abruptly due to the instantaneous collapse of the Chaos Universe phantom.
Boom—
Like the collapse of an Ancient Chaos Universe, the destructive power derived from it could be called earth-shattering and unprecedented, enough to make the River of Time tremble.
Finally, all the destructive power instantly acted upon the 39th Immortal Pass.
After a full half hour, the moment the Ancient Chaos Universe phantom completely collapsed and vanished, the 39th Immortal Pass suddenly exploded and disintegrated.
Before him, the view opened up—the 40th Immortal Pass.
The 40th Immortal Pass representing the colossi from antiquity.
He.
Ye Chen.
Possessed peerless combat power at the absolute peak of Quasi-Giants!
As for the 40th Immortal Pass, he did not attempt it. Even though his essence, energy, and spirit were still at their peak, and he even had some trump cards left, not completely exhausted.
But there was no need to continue.
Trump cards must remain hidden. Always leave a margin. Knowing how far his strength could reach was enough.
However, Ye Chen silently gazed at the 40th Immortal Pass, or perhaps behind it, where a faint sensation seemed to resonate with the origin mini-universe within his body.
Was it behind the 49th Immortal Pass?
He didn't know. After a deep, prolonged stare, he turned and left.
At the location of the 37th Immortal Pass, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings—Haotian, Nan Gong, and Bei Ming—were still attacking, unable to blast it open.
Of course, the 37th Immortal Pass was also in a teetering state. As long as they continued their assault, breaking through shouldn't be a major problem.
At this moment, Ye Chen returned, ignoring the barrier of the Immortal Pass, arriving back at the location of the 37th Immortal Pass. This caused exclamations from the three Quasi-Immortal Kings: "Fellow Daoist Ye, which Immortal Pass did you reach?"
Ye Chen said, "I stopped before the 40th Immortal Pass."
"You... you actually reached beyond the 39th Immortal Pass?!"
The three Quasi-Immortal Kings were utterly shocked. Ye Chen had actually reached beyond the 39th Immortal Pass, stopping only before the 40th Immortal Pass corresponding to the level of colossi from antiquity.
Didn't that mean his strength belonged to the absolute peak of Quasi-Giants?
Moreover, they didn't believe Ye Chen was lying, because on his body, the imprint aura of the 39th Immortal Pass faintly appeared. It couldn't be faked. Only by passing an Immortal Pass could it be inscribed upon one, and the imprint aura of each pass was different, impossible to imitate.
Nan Gong Quasi-Immortal King appeared as a remarkably handsome man in his early twenties, immortal light swirling around his body, his Immortal Dao peerless, making him exceptionally handsome—a rare beauty in the world, second only to a perfect being like Ye Chen.
Even though he was over two epochs old, a true ancient fossil, at this level, time couldn't leave the slightest trace on him. On the contrary, it increasingly added to his Dao attainment.
Within the Primordial Immortal World, he, Nan Gong Quasi-Immortal King, could absolutely be considered a major power under Immortal Kings, commanding supreme immortals under him.
However, he had attained the Dao and become an immortal for two epochs. Yet compared to this young Quasi-Giant from the Pangu Universe under a hundred thousand years old, he discovered such a vast gap existed between them. He was inferior to this young Quasi-Giant.
Bei Ming Quasi-Immortal King also sighed lightly. How could such a person exist in the world?
Haotian Quasi-Immortal King gave a bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're too monstrous. I admit defeat."
What more could he say? He had cultivated for so many hundreds of thousands of years, yet he was still not as powerful as a young Quasi-Giant whose cultivation years weren't even a fraction of his own.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Let's go back."
"Agreed!" Haotian Quasi-Immortal King said.
Nan Gong Quasi-Immortal King and Bei Ming Quasi-Immortal King exchanged a glance and said, "We'll leave here too. We also want to see the grand spectacle of this year's Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly competition."
They had just learned that Ye Chen was leading the strongest Heaven's Prides of this generation from the Pangu Universe to participate in the Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly. They also wanted to have a good exchange with Ye Chen, this strongest monster of all ages.
