However, as an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant, Ye Chen was truly too powerful, capable of sweeping through colossi from antiquity. Yet at this moment, he deliberately suppressed his full strength, precisely to prevent others from discerning his special nature.
He was already exceptionally unique—an Eternal Quasi-Monarch comparable to the Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Ancestor, possessing Quasi-Giant level combat power after six thousand years of cultivation, suppressing two Quasi-Giants of the Chaos Burial Ground. This was already earth-shattering.
If it were known he was also an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant, it would be even more terrifying.
Even so, he still displayed combat power surpassing that of ordinary Quasi-Giants. He stepped forward and suppressed the Quasi-Giant evolved from the Great Dao rules, sweeping through it. With several strikes of his most powerful divine abilities, that rules-projected Quasi-Giant had its chest pierced and its arm torn apart, suffering terrible wounds and suppression.
Of course, this was merely an evolution of the Great Dao rules. The Great Dao is emotionless, like the Heavenly Avatars manifested by heavenly tribulations—it knows no pain and only attacks.
Moreover, its recovery power was astonishing; basically, as soon as injuries appeared, they were immediately healed.
However, few who could reach the Quasi-Giant level were simple individuals, let alone Ye Chen, who could suppress the recovery of his opponent's wounds.
In less than a hundred moves, Ye Chen had resolved this Great Dao rules projection of a Quasi-Giant, completely tearing it apart, scattering it in pieces.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
However, eerily, this Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection was recovering, as if some unfathomable power was being transmitted from the void to reassemble it.
Ye Chen's gaze sharpened; he knew there was something more behind this.
"Ten Heavens divine nature halo, Heavenly Dao projection!"
Behind him, the Ten Heavens divine nature halo manifested—a projection of the Heavenly Dao—transforming into a circle of an unfathomably deep black hole that directly pulled this Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection into the black hole, isolating it from the external recovery.
Boom—
At this moment, he felt the Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection transform into a ball of light, which he devoured.
Ye Chen clearly felt the divine power, rules, and other forces within his body surge by a significant margin.
Every pore in his body was erupting with supreme and majestic Great Dao beams, like roaring true dragons. Terrifying power overflowed, shattering the heavens and earth for tens of millions of miles around, an utterly horrifying sight.
"Such powerful force, it was actually devoured by me and integrated into my body."
Ye Chen was astonished; it was almost like directly devouring a Quasi-Giant. Though realistically, it wasn't that exaggerated, the power surging within him was far more immense than devouring a Supreme Being.
He clearly felt the shackles of the Extreme Realm loosen further.
A look of joy crossed his face; he hadn't expected these Great Dao rules projections to have such an effect.
Instantly, Ye Chen had another idea.
He could perhaps use these Great Dao rules projections to break through the shackles of the Extreme Realm and become a supreme existence at the level of a colossus from antiquity.
Boom—
In the distant sky, Nangong Quasi-Immortal King was being attacked by two Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projections. Although he was stronger and his aura more enduring, he was clearly being heavily suppressed and was not their true match.
At this moment, Nangong Quasi-Immortal King was already coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
Boom—
Suddenly, the heavens collapsed and the earth split. A heroic figure crossed the sky and appeared before him.
Ye Chen!
Carrying boundless Chaos momentum, he traversed the vast sky and landed a punch that fell heavily on one of the Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projections.
Boom—
That Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection was caught off guard, directly pierced through front and back by the fist. Great Dao blood formed from rules splattered, giving birth to layer upon layer of world-heavens, which then shattered, creating terrifying waves of destruction.
"Battle Saint King!" Nangong Quasi-Immortal King sighed in relief while also feeling shock. This fellow Daoist he had befriended in the 'Forty-Nine Immortal Passes' secret realm was clearly even more powerful now. With just one strike, he had severely wounded a Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection.
Though he could tell that Ye Chen had condensed the power of dozens to hundreds of moves into that single punch, he had to admit that even he might not be able to so easily severely wound a Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection.
Ye Chen paid no heed to Nangong Quasi-Immortal King. He locked onto the severely wounded Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection, charged forward, and in an instant, multiple attacks rained down.
Not long after, the Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection was blasted apart, then devoured and refined by the Ten Heavens divine nature halo.
Boom rumble rumble—
Ye Chen felt the divine power within his body surge once more, vast and unceasing.
"The shackles of the Extreme Realm have loosened even more. I'm afraid it won't be long before I can directly break through and become a supreme Giant."
At this moment, Ye Chen attacked frantically, actively seeking out one Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projection after another to crush.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
With his intervention, the pressure on the other Quasi-Giants was greatly reduced. They were also secretly alarmed; the Battle Saint King was actually this strong, capable of crushing other Quasi-Giant Great Dao rules projections. Even if they attacked, it would take them considerable time to achieve the same.
Meanwhile, the final ancient pass was now completely exposed within the Chaos Sea. Its terrifying ripples, having bypassed the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis's repeated blockades, acted upon the Chaos Sea, stirring up boundless, terrifying waves.
Chaos Primordial Great Worlds, Chaos Pure Lands, and others that were relatively close suffered catastrophic disasters, with countless numbers being destroyed.
Fortunately, the Chaos Sea was boundless, and the other Ancient Chaos Universes were separated by considerable distances. Otherwise, merely these ripples would have dealt a massive impact to many Ancient Chaos Universes.
At the forefront, on this side of the Chaos Sea, twenty-one colossi from antiquity attacked together. They displayed a might that shook the ages; since time immemorial, no one could withstand their combined assault head-on.
Even an Ancient Chaos Universe would be utterly shattered.
In the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path, the turbulent Great Dao power continuously tore and shattered the ancient pass, also spreading to the left and right, horizontally opening up the deepest part of the entire Origin Ancient Path for who knows how many tens of millions of miles.
It was even larger than the diameter of an Ancient Chaos Universe.
To the extent that it finally completely pierced through the Chaos, connecting to the external Chaos Sea.
The ancient pass had long been shattered, but it recovered again and again in cycles, because the twenty-seven colossi from antiquity Great Dao rules projections were melting the rules power of the myriad heavens' Great Dao to replenish it.
Moreover, a mysterious power was emerging, making all the Great Dao rules projections indestructible time and again, making it difficult to completely break through this ancient pass.
"The Great Dao rules projections... could their replenishment be derived from the power of the sun, moon, and stars?"
Zhongyan Immortal Venerable spoke. He was a Primordial Giant, his power incomparably mighty, his Immortal King Great Dao said to be capable of ending all things. He raised his eyes and saw above the ancient pass, faintly visible, twenty-seven radiant suns, along with thirty-three bright moons, and one hundred and eight stars.
