Across the vast expanse of existence, even colossi from antiquity could not possibly master such bizarre power, capable of silently annihilating Supreme Ones. It was likely only a secret realm within the Origin Land could be like this, perhaps containing a trace of 'Eternal' power. No one expected that a similar formidable ancient pass could still be witnessed today.
Ye Chen was also shaken to his core. Especially when he sensed that his Quasi-Immortal King Dao body, still cultivating within the Immortal King Cave, had opened its eyes at this moment, projecting a blazing Immortal King gaze that looked towards this distant place.
Simultaneously, within the Primordial Immortal Realm, the 'Forty-Nine Immortal Passes' secret realm abruptly experienced a great tremor. Layer upon layer of majestic Immortal Passes stood tall, radiating boundless radiance that illuminated past and present. Behind the forty-ninth Immortal Pass, an immeasurable immortal silhouette flickered in and out, its true form unseen. But at this moment, its tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Their gaze was unfathomably deep, containing terrifying scenes of epochal transitions, as if it was looking down upon the past, present, and future. He or she was gazing towards the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
"This should be the final barrier before the Origin Land."
"Once pierced through, perhaps the time to truly penetrate the Origin Land has arrived."
"After waiting for endless ages, it is indeed time."
On this day, astonishingly powerful Great Dao auras erupted along the Origin Ancient Path. Their intensity was so great it directly blasted through the cosmic barriers, shaking the Chaos Sea. Even the neighboring Primordial Immortal Realm had multiple supreme Immortal King auras erupting.
The Origin Land's influence was incredibly far-reaching, involving the legendary secret of 'Eternity'.
At the same time, from a mysterious, unknown location within the Chaos Sea, several supremely powerful existences awakened. A low voice resounded: "Has the Origin Land been penetrated? It is time for our Origin Saint Race to emerge into the world!" The Origin Saint Race, claiming to be the guardian saint race of the Origin Land, was naturally alarmed.
Before the mysterious ancient pass, terrifying chaos light still radiated. Yet, multiple colossi from antiquity stood imposingly before it. They were far more vast and majestic than the pass itself, wielding supreme power that had dominated countless ages. The earlier radiance could not harm them. Only they could stand directly before it.
"Today, we shall break open this ancient pass and see if the true Origin Land lies beyond!"
Colossus after colossus from antiquity stood tall, heaven-supporting and earth-treading, immensely fearsome, with Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones following behind them. Now, other supreme Immortal Kings also streaked across the sky from the Primordial Immortal Realm, descending upon the Origin Ancient Path to join the vanguard.
Over twenty colossi from antiquity stood together—a lineup of Giants that could be called the most terrifying in history, advancing and retreating in unison, among them not lacking first-generation Giants.
Boom—
With such a gathering of colossi from antiquity, even without taking action, the combined might was so intense that across the vast expanse of existence, none could withstand it. The ancient pass trembled violently, utterly unable to bear the pressure, and soon collapsed with a thunderous crash. Of course, this was only the first ancient pass; there were far more than just this one!
Sure enough, behind it were other ancient passes, even more majestic and grand than the first. They even had projections of Great Dao rules at the Supreme One level, and even the Quasi-Giant level, which were extremely powerful. This shocked everyone, making them increasingly certain they were not far from the Origin Land. Otherwise, how could such high-level Great Dao rule projections manifest? They became guardians, defending the ancient passes from being breached.
Of course, they still could not withstand the host of Giants.
Every colossus from antiquity was an awe-inspiring existence that had suppressed countless ages, invincible throughout time, capable of pacifying an entire chaotic ancient universe, standing at the very peak of the Chaos Sea, with few rivals. Today, over twenty colossi from antiquity joining forces was unheard of, unseen before. Their combined assault could be described as slaying gods when encountering gods, slaughtering buddhas when encountering buddhas; truly, no one in the world could stop them.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Endless celestial light surged towards layer after layer of ancient passes. The boundless power of the Giants pulverized all obstacles. Along the way, ancient passes blocked their path, even with Great Dao rule projections at the Supreme One and Quasi-Giant levels obstructing them, but none were a match for the host of Giants, easily shattered.
In an instant, seven ancient passes were breached consecutively! Crumbling like rotten wood! Unstoppable momentum!
Boom—
Soon, the eighth ancient pass appeared before them. This one was also formed by the evolution of Great Dao rules, and an even more fearsome existence emerged.
A colossus from antiquity!
It was still a manifestation of Great Dao rules, but it was astonishing. The strength of a colossus from antiquity was such that no one in the world should be able to replicate it; even Great Dao rules shouldn't be capable. This colossus from antiquity was of boundless size, like a Realm Beast, vaster and more majestic than starry skies by countless times. Every pore seemed like a massive black hole capable of devouring stars. With a single gape of its maw, it could swallow entire star domains. It lay across the ancient pass, as if completely fused with it, indestructible. To pass through this ancient pass, one had to slay this Giant-level Realm Beast; otherwise, crossing was impossible.
"To cross, must we kill it?" Supreme Ones grew solemn, Quasi-Giants turned grave.
"Hah, it's merely a Giant evolved from Great Dao rules, only a pseudo-Giant. How could it stop us? Not even a true colossus from antiquity could!" Zi Xiao Immortal King snorted coldly. Violet light blazed around him, vast for billions of li and more, as he spoke coldly.
"Kill!"
The host of Giants attacked together. An endless killing intent of Giants surged over, landing upon the colossal Realm Beast straddling the ancient pass.
Boom—
Soon, the enormous Realm Beast perched on the eighth ancient pass completely exploded. The terrifying fluctuations nearly caused the newly opened path to collapse entirely, even affecting the Origin Ancient Path behind it. Everything was suppressed by the host of Giants. Behind them, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis even pushed the Ten Thousand Ancient City forward to prevent the path from closing. Moreover, the destructive Great Dao fluctuations were all harnessed by the Giants, suppressed, and then redirected to blast forward.
The Origin Ancient Path was opened to an even deeper level.
The Chaos Sea trembled greatly. Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and colossi from antiquity who did not participate in this final opening of the Origin Ancient Path watched closely. Terrifying fluctuations continuously spread out, demonstrating the intensity of this final opening.
However, it was clear the mighty ones encountered no real difficulties, or more accurately, nothing could truly hinder them. The host of Giants stood together, slaying gods when encountering gods, slaughtering buddhas when encountering buddhas; no one in the world could stop them.
The ninth pass!
The ninth ancient pass, far surpassing the previous eight, appeared. Above it, supreme rules evolved, giving rise to nine figures, each at the level of a colossus from antiquity.
All sides were shocked. For Great Dao rules to evolve Supreme One level beings was already astonishing; Quasi-Giants were rare across countless ages, let alone colossi from antiquity level—something not seen once or twice across many epochs. Yet now, nine such beings appeared at once.
Several colossi from antiquity stood across the ancient pass, looking down from a high vantage, like the evolution of the Nine Heavens, gazing upon the vast Chaos Sea.
