"Have the people from the Origin Saint Clan not arrived yet?" Ye Chen frowned. Coming here this time, he very much wanted to encounter members of the Origin Saint Clan, especially the Xuan Clan, Yi Yi's own clan.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, they still had not arrived.
In the following period, the Battle Saint Ancestor and the other colossi from antiquity of the Pangu Universe faction did not continue to provoke conflicts with the alien Ancient Universes. Everyone knew that the true importance of this gathering was the Origin Land. Anyone who continued to stir up trouble would be making an enemy of everyone present.
A long time later, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis abruptly stood up and said, "Esteemed ones, please take action. Whether we can penetrate the Origin Land depends on this attempt."
Clearly, the various colossi from antiquity were not certain if the Origin Land truly lay beyond.
Colossi from antiquity were omnipotent, but not all-powerful. Some things, even beings as powerful as them, could not deduce through divination. Perhaps this was because it contained the aura of the Origin Land.
Everyone left the Ten Thousand Ancient Hall and appeared behind the Ten Thousand Ancient City, facing the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path. There lay boundless chaos, yet it emanated an unparalleled oppressive pressure, as if behind it lurked an unprecedented great terror from ancient times to the present, currently slumbering. Once awakened, it would bring calamity to the entire Chaos Sea.
Ye Chen could sense that this boundless chaos radiated a corrosive power, as if it could erode the Origin Ancient Path back to its most primitive chaotic state at any moment.
The Ten Thousand Ancient City, meanwhile, emanated a vast and mighty aura of the Great Dao, like a colossus from antiquity constantly acting to resist the corrosive power of the endless chaos, maintaining the Origin Ancient Path in its opened state.
Ye Chen attempted to control the endless chaos at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
He was the master of the Chaos Great Dao, and at the extreme realm of a Quasi-Giant. In theory, he should be able to control all chaos under heaven.
However, this endless chaos was fundamentally uncontrollable, as if its power belonged to another Great Dao entirely.
What was going on?
Tai Sheng Huang, knowing Ye Chen's confusion, said solemnly, "This chaos is not that chaos. I suspect this chaos might very well be that final ten-thousandth part of chaotic power."
Chaos was all-encompassing, including the myriad Daos of the heavens, and also possessed special attributes.
Tai Sheng Huang was the supreme master of the Chaos Great Dao from ancient times to the present. His comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao had reached nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ten-thousandths, leaving only the final ten-thousandth part uncomprehended.
But this final ten-thousandth part, no matter what, could not be fully comprehended.
Even so, Tai Sheng Huang could still control infinite chaos.
But the chaos at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path did not fall into this category. Otherwise, there would have been no need for the colossi from antiquity to jointly construct the Ten Thousand Ancient City to suppress it.
Therefore, Tai Sheng Huang suspected that this chaos likely belonged to that final ten-thousandth chaotic attribute.
At this moment, this place had gathered a staggering number of fifteen colossi from antiquity, with the number of Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones being even more terrifyingly high.
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis gazed into the chaotic expanse and said, "This is the final step. I shall personally take action."
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis made his move. He simply rubbed his hands together slightly, and a faint sphere of light materialized out of thin air. Yet, it contained infinite profound principles, as if it could deduce all the Daos, spirits, and matter of the world.
A colossus from antiquity exclaimed in admiration, "This is the Lord's Ten Thousand Ancient Universe Sphere!"
Clearly visible, within this sphere of light, chaos swirled on its surface, while inside, myriad worlds, myriad things, myriad spirits, and myriad Daos were born. The eight fundamental Daos of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Yin, and Yang served as the foundational sources, with the two Daos of Time and Space stabilizing the structure.
Its appearance was strikingly similar to a miniature Ancient Chaos Universe.
The Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants of the heavens were shocked. This was the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis's invincible means for dominating past and present—the Ten Thousand Ancient Universe Sphere!
To create an Ancient Chaos Universe out of nothing, condensed into the size of a light sphere.
It seemed small, but once unleashed, its power would shake the ages.
In the distant past, before the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis took charge of the Ten Thousand Ancient City, he had relied on this move, the Ten Thousand Ancient Universe Sphere, to awe the Chaos Sea. In one great battle, he had even severely wounded a colossus from antiquity, bringing him to the brink of death.
Ye Chen was astonished. The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis's method was in no way inferior to his own forbidden divine ability—the Universe-Creating Cosmos—which also created an Ancient Chaos Universe out of nothing.
Although both constructed an illusory Ancient Chaos Universe, Ye Chen built his upon the foundation of his origin universe, while the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis evolved his entirely through his own power. This showed the Lord's comprehension of the Great Dao had reached an unimaginable level.
No wonder he had been a first-generation Giant even before becoming the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis.
"Ten Thousand Ancient Universe Sphere, go!"
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis flicked his finger, and this seemingly simple sphere of light shot like lightning toward the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
Boom—
Instantly, the deepest part of that place erupted. The myriad Daos of heaven and earth went into violent turmoil, radiating light from the Ten Thousand Daos, entering a state of frenzied combustion.
The Ten Thousand Daos were burning, drawn by the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis's Ten Thousand Ancient Universe Sphere. All Daos converged in an instant, igniting into blazing light.
It was as if billions of suns were exploding at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path. Infinite flames, accompanied by billions of colors, pulled along endless Great Dao fluctuations, wantonly burning and blasting open the boundless chaos.
An unparalleled, vast power gathered—a strike capable of annihilating a Primordial Chaos Great World—and completely detonated within the endless chaotic expanse at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
It was as if the great universe was collapsing, heaven falling and earth rending, chaos disintegrating.
At this moment, the entire Origin Ancient Path was in violent upheaval.
At the location of the Ten Thousand Ancient City, the Supreme Ones of the heavens and the various Quasi-Giants all trembled with fear.
This strike was in no way inferior to the previous strike by the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord. In fact, it was countless times more soul-stirring, a state of utter and complete destruction.
Was this the true manifestation of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis's unmatched combat power?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
A terrifying shockwave, worthy of being called world-shaking, transmitted into the Chaos Sea, also causing upheaval there.
Heaven fell and earth rent. A terrifying aura spread throughout the entire Origin Ancient Path, even startling the boundless Chaos Sea.
Countless fragments of time splashed out, vanishing into the Chaos Sea.
All across the Chaos Sea, the scene at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path could be seen.
"The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis has personally taken action!"
"How many tens of thousands of years has it been since he last acted? Only for this final stretch of the path is he willing to intervene."
"The Ten Thousand Ancient Universe Sphere—that was the supreme forbidden divine ability that dominated the Chaos Sea in the past, nearly killing a colossus from antiquity!"
"Has the Origin Land been successfully penetrated?"
Not to mention others, even the colossi from antiquity were startled. From within their respective Ancient Chaos Universes, they gazed toward the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
They could peer through the ages; nothing could block their sight.
Visible to the naked eye, the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path was erupting with infinite light. Beams of light, each spanning hundreds of millions of miles or more, streaked across the void, slicing down billions of stars.
It was like light of world-destruction. The deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path was collapsing in vast swathes.
