Chaotic light soared to the heavens. Ye Chen was like a Chaos Immortal King, his fist seals attacking, striking across the past, evolving thirty-three heavens floating above and opening nine layers of the netherworld sinking into the earth, like an ancient Chaos Universe crushing forward, tearing open the Supreme Domain.
The Supreme Domain, the battleground for Supreme Ones and above peerless powerhouses throughout the ages, naturally had Supreme Ones who perished in the process, their corpses or Supreme weapons remaining here. There were even ancient realms, countless in number, all opened by Supreme Ones during their battles, capable of enduring for eternity.
Now, with Ye Chen's might erupting, everything tangible and intangible within a vast range exceeding that of a single Ancient Heaven Realm completely disintegrated.
"Excellent!"
The War Emperor laughed heartily, his battle intent also erupting. He unleashed an Heaven-Defying Battle Art, a single soaring fist fiercely colliding—even a Quasi-Giant facing it would be pierced through by a single punch.
Boom—
The momentary collision was like the sun exploding, eternal light blooming, igniting everything.
The two invincible Quasi-Giants fought and clashed madly within the Supreme Domain, shattering infinite void, their majestic power blooming, annihilating all, unstoppable!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already collided hundreds and thousands of times. Each move and technique was capable of completely crippling a Supreme One, capable of destroying a Supreme soul—terrifyingly astonishing!
"Who is it?"
"Such powerful auras! Could it be colossi from antiquity battling?"
"One of them seems to be an Immortal King. I sense that kind of supreme Immortal Dao kingly aura!"
With their auras fully erupting, they startled Supreme Ones from all sides, and even Quasi-Giants were peering, wanting to know what was happening.
But at this moment, Ye Chen and the War Emperor had long since left the Supreme Domain at the first opportunity. No one knew what exactly had transpired, only the vast and mighty residual waves continued to spread, as if narrating what had just occurred.
Exiting the Supreme Domain and returning to the Pangu Universe, the auras on Ye Chen and the War Emperor were now completely restrained, lacking the peerless demeanor that had just challenged colossi from antiquity. They glanced at each other and smiled.
Ye Chen hadn't expected the War Emperor to have reached this step as well.
Similarly, the War Emperor hadn't expected Ye Chen to reach the same realm in such a short time. One must know, his years of cultivation far surpassed this junior Ye Chen by who knows how many times.
The War Emperor sighed. "Little fellow, you truly live up to being the key figure. At such a young age, you've reached this step. This is the ultimate extreme realm of the Quasi-Giant, capable of striking against colossi from antiquity."
Throughout the ages, those who could reach this extreme realm within the Quasi-Giant domain could be counted on one's fingers.
The War Emperor was one. Now, Ye Chen had also reached this step.
The Quasi-Giant extreme realm could strike against colossi from antiquity, not merely challenge them.
Challenging meant being able to retreat unscathed when facing a colossus from antiquity.
Striking against meant being able to engage in battle. Although the final result would still be an inability to defeat a true colossus from antiquity, one could still contend.
This was the ultimate strength of the Quasi-Giant extreme realm.
Ye Chen pondered. This was the first time he had learned of such an extreme realm. After all, throughout the ages, those who could reach this realm were few. Often, when a Quasi-Giant reached the pinnacle, they could advance no further. They either made the ultimate leap to become a colossus from antiquity or remained stagnant. Very few could undergo ultimate sublimation to reach the extreme realm.
However, this was not what Ye Chen wanted. What he needed was true combat power at the level of a colossus from antiquity.
But over all these years, he had always been lacking that final step. It was probably because of this extreme realm.
The War Emperor said, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Although the extreme realm restricts breakthroughs and makes it harder for Quasi-Giants to advance, once a breakthrough is made, those at the extreme realm will become truly powerful colossi from antiquity!"
Throughout the ages, although there were only a handful of Quasi-Giants at the extreme realm—some perished, some remained stagnant—there was one who, upon breaking through from the extreme realm, leaped to become a terrifying colossus nearly akin to a Primordial Giant, renowned and mighty.
However, breaking through or not, it might become a great shackle, completely restricting his true breakthrough.
The thirty-thousand-year deadline was about to end. He worried about the sudden descent of the blood-stained future. Even combat power at the extreme realm capable of striking against colossi from antiquity might not be enough to protect those around him.
The War Emperor could see the worry in his heart. "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the Origin Ancient Path? Perhaps Master and the others know how to resolve this."
Ye Chen deeply agreed. He also felt it necessary to go to the Origin Ancient Path.
At present, he felt his path ahead was obscure, difficult to continue. Perhaps he needed to seek advice from colossi from antiquity like Tai Sheng Huang, the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Heaven-Defying War Lord, and the Flame Emperor. That might be better.
The War Emperor said, "A word of advice: your extreme realm combat power—unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal it lightly. Sometimes, one must always keep a card up one's sleeve."
Back in the Chaos Burial Ground, the War Emperor had not revealed his extreme realm combat power precisely to keep a card up his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to rely on the Heavenly Dao Sun and the Supreme Scepter to restrain a Heavenly Sovereign-level colossus.
Of course, if danger befell the Pangu Universe, he could not continue to conceal it.
Ye Chen naturally understood the War Emperor's well-intentioned advice and nodded. "War Emperor Ancestor, rest assured. I understand."
Having made the decision, Ye Chen immediately acted. He bid farewell to the War Emperor, notified those close to him and familiar Supreme Emperors like the Profound God Great Emperor, and set off alone. Using the Profound Ancient Gate of the Tai Sheng Huang Realm, he entered the River of Time and traveled upstream, arriving at the Immortal Heavenly Pass of the Primordial Immortal World.
Now, Ye Chen's prestige shook the Chaos Sea. The guardians of the Immortal Heavenly Pass naturally knew of his existence. The moment his chaotic might emerged, even with the barrier of the Immortal Heavenly Pass, they all felt their bodies go weak and hurriedly paid their respects with a grand bow. "We pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Battle Saint King."
To Immortals, Quasi-Immortal Kings, and Immortal Kings, those below the Supreme One level were all respectfully addressed as 'Your Majesty'.
Although Ye Chen was not an Immortal Dao cultivator, he was famously renowned, and his cultivation years were short, inspiring awe in all. Hence, they addressed him as 'Your Majesty'.
Ye Chen held the Immortal King Token given by Pan Dao Immortal King and said, "I wish to borrow the Immortal World's path to go to the Origin Ancient Path. I trouble you to open the Heavenly Gate for passage."
He did not carry the slightest air of a lofty Quasi-Giant, being very amiable. The guardians of the Immortal Heavenly Pass naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately opened the Heavenly Pass.
Ye Chen entered. Although he did not make a grand spectacle, it still shook the six directions and eight wildernesses, startling many Immortal Domains.
After all, the current Ye Chen's prestige shook the myriad heavens. Not long ago, he alone had suppressed two Quasi-Giants from the Chaos Burial Ground, nearly killing one, demonstrating his invincible divine might.
His appearance naturally tugged at the heartstrings of many.
Supreme Immortals from numerous Immortal Domains awoke at the first moment, gazing from afar at the Battle Saint King treading the Chaos Great Dao as he journeyed through the world, respectfully addressing him from a distance, not daring to slight him.
Quasi-Immortal Kings also revived, among them the three familiar Quasi-Immortal Kings: Haotian, Nangong, and Beiming. They directly traversed numerous Immortal Domains, traveling from afar to come.
