This session of the Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly Grand Competition included thirty-seven Ancient Chaos Universes, including the Primordial Immortal World, the Pangu Universe, the Alien Ancient Universe, the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe, and others.
Throughout the ages in the Chaos Sea, including those already destroyed, the number of Ancient Chaos Universes has been forty-nine.
To this day, after endless eons, a fiftieth Ancient Chaos Universe has never been born.
Legend has it that the Chaos Sea cannot give birth to a fiftieth Ancient Chaos Universe; that is the 'One' that escaped.
Moreover, throughout endless eons, it has been rumored that all forty-nine Ancient Chaos Universes were opened by Pangu, who was suspected to be 'Eternal' in ancient times. When he opened the forty-ninth Ancient Chaos Universe, he exhausted his strength and died, merging with that Ancient Chaos Universe, which later became the Pangu Universe.
With Pangu gone, no one could open an Ancient Chaos Universe.
It is said that the first Ancient Chaos Universe between heaven and earth was the Primordial Immortal World.
Because it was the first Ancient Chaos Universe born between heaven and earth, it gathered the greatest fortune in the world. Thus, the Primordial Immortal World is the most vast and boundless, inherently far superior to other Ancient Chaos Universes.
The tenth Ancient Chaos Universe was the Alien Ancient Universe.
Ten represents the great perfection beyond the limit of nine. Therefore, the Alien Ancient Universe also occupies immense fortune and is incomparably powerful.
The Pangu Universe, as the forty-ninth, merged with the fallen Pangu and is the final Ancient Chaos Universe, so it is also incomparably powerful.
Of course, these are merely unverifiable claims akin to unofficial histories.
However, the three great Ancient Chaos Universes are all incomparably powerful, though the later Pangu Universe directly declined due to the Great Mythical Cataclysm.
There is a saying that if a fiftieth Ancient Chaos Universe were born, it would be the escaped 'One' of the world, transcending everything.
...
The strongest talents from thirty-seven Ancient Chaos Universes all appeared together. Indeed, they far outnumbered the talents from the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Supreme Ancient Path. There was even a large group of Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants, numbering over three hundred. One could imagine the scale.
At the Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly Grand Competition, the strongest talents from each Ancient Chaos Universe appeared together. Even the Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants went wild, because once they stood out, they would gain the favor of an Immortal King, and it was highly likely they would be taken as personal disciples.
One must know, the status of an Immortal King's personal disciple is supremely revered, with great hope of proving the Dao to become a Supreme One in the future.
Moreover, being able to cultivate in the Primordial Immortal World, recognized as the number one Ancient Chaos Universe in the Chaos Sea, was extraordinary...
Because there were too many participating strongest talents—over a thousand from thirty-seven Ancient Chaos Universes—the rules for the first grand competition were simple: an elimination battle!
The strongest talents from all sides entered a supreme realm constructed by an Immortal King's power for a life-and-death battle, competing for identity jade tokens. As long as they obtained a sufficient number of identity jade tokens, they could stand out and advance to the second stage.
This elimination battle was enough to filter out the vast majority of the eliminated.
"Be careful. Your personal safety is most important. If you encounter a fatal crisis, immediately give up, even withdraw from the elimination battle. I sent you here to participate in this Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly Grand Competition mainly to let you gain experience. As for competing for first place, that's not under consideration yet."
Ye Chen spoke, personally admonishing them to understand not to mistake the branch for the root and lose their lives.
Afterwards, he let the group of strongest talents from the Pangu Universe enter the supreme realm to compete for identity jade tokens.
The strongest talents from other Ancient Chaos Universes also entered one by one for the seven-day elimination battle!
Over a thousand strongest talents entered the supreme realm. The weakest were Ancient Monarchs. The top cultivators were Monarchs, and there were quite a few Monarchs; many Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants had become Monarchs.
Without a doubt, this elimination battle would be extremely fierce.
Naturally, for the sake of fairness, Monarchs could only be in the Monarch battlefield, while Ancient Monarchs had no such restriction.
After all, having this restriction or not was almost the same. No Ancient Monarch would dare to attack a Monarch across levels; that was purely seeking death.
The supreme realm was vast and boundless, equivalent to one-fifth of the Primordial Heavenly Realm. Constructed with Immortal King laws, it contained intense Immortal King might. The void was incomparably stable, even surpassing ordinary Supreme Emperor Realms, making it more suitable for this group of strongest talents' competition elimination battle.
Soon, an anomaly appeared because the Alien strongest talents joined forces with the strongest talents under the Violet Firmament Immortal King to deal with the Pangu Universe's strongest talents.
This time, the Alien race also brought thirty strongest talents, with twenty-one being Emperor Sons and Daughters, and the other nine being Great Perfection Supreme Geniuses. One could imagine how unfathomably deep the Alien race's foundation was, having experienced several annihilations of their Emperor Sons and Daughters by Ye Chen yet still having so many Emperor Sons and Daughters remaining.
It could only be said that after multiple epochal eras, the Alien race's foundation was truly too unfathomably deep. In the current era, only the Primordial Immortal World openly surpassed it.
But in the shadows, no one knew just how deep the Alien race's foundation was.
Among the thirty Alien strongest talents, five had reached the Monarch level, their strength absolutely incomparably powerful.
Moreover, under the Alien race's call, many strongest talents were drawn over, especially from the Immortal World. Similarly, there were also many hostile to the Pangu Universe, mainly the strongest talents from the Violet Firmament Immortal King's domain.
Fortunately, there were also Immortal World strongest talents who came to help, such as those from the Pan Dao Immortal King's domain.
"Heh, the Alien race is truly as shameless as Father said, still fond of bullying the few with many," Yaya sneered.
At this moment, the Pangu Universe's strongest talents displayed their divine might, beginning their peak battle with them.
Yaya transformed, her true body manifestation appearing—a giant World Tree that pierced straight through the thirty-three heavens, unimaginably tall, even taller than the Immortal Heavenly Pass, its canopy reaching the sky and blocking out the sun. Countless thick vines hung down, and intense Space-Time Power that reached the extreme spread across the sky and earth, occupying one-tenth of the supreme realm's territory.
The World Tree, also called the Space-Time Ancestral Tree, innately could control space-time, belonging to the Space-Time Controller.
Like the Space-Time Emperor of the World Ancestral Tree, who was the highest achiever on the Space-Time Great Dao, with no one comparable.
To the Space-Time Emperor, Yaya was like a most beloved junior. Having obtained the Space-Time Emperor's inheritance within the World Tower, she now manifested the World Tree. The Space-Time Great Dao appeared, and at the Monarch level, she directly restrained two Alien Monarchs within this World Tree Space-Time Domain, continuously deriving layer upon layer of world heavens and earths. Myriad worlds appeared, truly capable of evolving into the myriad heavens and worlds.
The two Emperor Son-level Alien Monarchs could not break free for a time.
Yan Shen, the Flame Emperor's personal disciple, Monarch level, also a Great Perfection Supreme Genius level, violently clashed with an Alien Monarch, fighting inextricably.
Chenxi, Ye Chen's child. After several thousand years, given his aptitude, he naturally had also become a Monarch and dealt with an Alien Monarch.
Ye Jing, young in age, not yet at the Monarch level, was Ye Chen's youngest little daughter. Yet her strength was quite formidable. With her attacks, she suppressed an Alien Sovereign-level strongest talent, erupting with terrifying combat power that did not match her realm.
Garen also joined the Pangu Universe's side, brandishing a giant axe, striking horizontally, engaging in a peak battle with an Alien Monarch.
The Pan Dao Immortal King's domain had three Immortal Dao descendants. One of them was even Pan Dao Immortal King's own son, named Pan Jiuji, an Immortal King Son-level Monarch.
He was very powerful, faintly having the opportunity to prove the Dao. It could be seen that his accumulation was sufficiently profound, not far from attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal.
When Pan Jiuji attacked, the Immortal King bloodline within his body boiled as if he were a second Pan Dao Immortal King, sweeping across all sides, restraining two Alien Monarchs.
Even so, the Alien side clearly had more Monarch powerhouses than the Pangu Universe side, with three extra Monarch powerhouses. Moreover, their seated Ancient Monarchs were very powerful, basically all at Sovereign fifth level and above.
Boom—
Suddenly, endless golden light instantly bloomed, the supreme realm greatly shaking, immediately drawing the attention of all sides.
Qian Xun attacked!
Although still only at the Ancient Monarch level, he was already at the peak Sovereign realm, and a peerless expert at the peak Eternal Sovereign realm. His combat power was so strong it could even approach that of an ordinary Monarch like the Tai Chu Monarch.
Facing hostile Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants, he showed no fear, directly pressing horizontally over, his terrifying strength displayed without concealment.
Boom—
Qian Xun directly sought out an Alien Monarch-level Emperor Son. Without a word, standing loftily in the sky, he stepped down with one foot.
"Seeking death!"
That Alien Emperor Son roared. He was a dignified Emperor Son, a Monarch of his generation, needing only to bow slightly even before an Ancient Great Emperor. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
But Qian Xun was domineering and peerless, golden light overflowing his entire body, that kind of majestic power pressing down, shattering everything.
The dignified Monarch-level Emperor Son was stepped down by a foot, his entire body bending, unable to stand straight.
What humiliation!
Qian Xun attacked fiercely. In just a few short rounds, this Alien Monarch-level Emperor Son was heavily injured, his figure sent flying, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
With another slap, an Alien Ancient Monarch-level Emperor Son, before he could even react, was slapped to death by Qian Xun.
Smashed to pieces!
As powerful as Qian Xun, at the peak Eternal Sovereign realm, his strength was peerlessly powerful, surpassing many Monarchs.
His sudden, horizontal attack directly startled everyone in the Immortal King Martial Arena.
"It's an Eternal Sovereign, like the Sovereign of Formlessness of yesteryear!"
A Supreme One was startled. The Sovereign of Formlessness of yesteryear was precisely an Eternal Sovereign. Because his strength was peerlessly powerful, he was called the King of Sovereigns in the world, a supreme existence capable of horizontally attacking Monarchs with a Sovereign's body. After becoming a Monarch, he was hailed as the number one person under the Supreme Ones of the last epoch.
Now, the Pangu Universe had actually given birth to another Eternal Sovereign, and one so peerlessly powerful. It truly caused great astonishment.
The Qian Xun before them was simply a second Sovereign of Formlessness.
Only, many present looked towards Ye Chen, remembering that this Battle Saint King was even more heaven-defying.
