How could this be?
For a Monarch to possess the power of an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant—was that even possible?
After all, in the understanding of the many Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and even colossi from antiquity, the Battle Saint King had long been regarded as a true Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant. As for his true cultivation realm, it wasn't very clear, but they had all assumed he was a genuine Quasi-Giant.
Even the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis was startled. He hadn't carefully sensed it before, and the aura Ye Chen radiated was far too vast. But now, upon careful perception, he could indeed sense that Ye Chen's realm aura was still that of a Monarch.
It was just that this Monarch was outrageously, absurdly powerful.
A Monarch's realm, yet wielding heaven-defying combat power at the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant level.
"That's right," the Finality Immortal Venerable spoke up, letting out a slight sigh. "The Battle Saint King is a master of the Chaos Great Dao, specializing in cultivating it. He will also use the Chaos Great Dao to prove his Dao in the future. But proving the Dao through Chaos... how easy is that?" If it weren't for the fact that throughout history, no one had ever succeeded in proving the Dao through the Chaos Great Dao, no one would believe Ye Chen was merely a lowly Monarch.
Tai Sheng Huang marveled, "Truly worthy of being the most monstrously talented genius of all time, comparable to the Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Ancestor. He was a figure on the Eternal Path even during his Quasi-Monarch period. And now, as an Eternal Monarch, he has defied the heavens to such an extent."
Not to mention the various Venerable Ones, even the Giants were inwardly shaken, all because the Battle Saint King was simply too monstrously heaven-defying. In the vast expanse of the world, who could possibly be mentioned in the same breath?
The only one, perhaps, was the mysterious Di Yongheng.
Longevity Divine Emperor said, "Although the Battle Saint King is not a Supreme One, he is a Chaos cultivator and also at the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant level. He is more suitable than a Supreme One, more fitting to go to the Origin Land."
The various Giants also looked at Ye Chen. Zi Xiao Immortal King also harbored killing intent towards Ye Chen and said indifferently, "This Sovereign agrees."
"This Sovereign agrees."
"This Sovereign agrees."
...
The alien race's Sacred Demon Emperor, Sheng, and Yuan Chu Di Zu also spoke up. Several other colossi from antiquity also expressed their approval. Naturally, the alien Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones under their command also agreed.
If they could kill the Battle Saint King here, it would undoubtedly cause the alien Ancient Universe to lose a future colossus from antiquity full of potential, even an existence like the Heavenly Emperor or the Primordial Ancestor. The alien race would be very pleased.
"This Sovereign does not agree. Longevity old ghost, you simply want the strongest genius of our Pangu Universe to fall."
Battle Saint Ancestor refused. Naturally, Tai Sheng Huang, Heaven-Defying War Lord, Flame Emperor, Pan Dao Immortal King, Chaos World Immortal King, Tai Sheng Huang, and other colossi from antiquity did not agree.
Alchemy Emperor also expressed his disagreement.
The numbers on both sides were almost equal; neither held a significant advantage.
Yuan Chu Di Zu said with a sinister tone, "Battle Saint King, as one who helped open the Origin Ancient Path, it seems somewhat inappropriate for you not to lead by example."
He was attempting to pressure him with the weight of public opinion!
"Old dog, wouldn't it be better for you to lead by example? After all, the alien race won't miss you if you're gone, nor will they notice if you're here." Ye Chen mocked mercilessly, not caring in the slightest that he was a colossus from antiquity, directly cursing him.
Hearing this, Yuan Chu Di Zu's expression turned incredibly gloomy. As a colossus from antiquity, who dared to disrespect him? Today, he was actually insulted by a junior. He immediately declared, "Insulting a colossus from antiquity is a capital offense, punishable by death!"
But Ye Chen just sneered, "I'll insult you if I want to insult you. Am I supposed to be afraid of you? At worst, we'll have a big battle. Even if you can kill me, I can say this with certainty: with the various seniors of my Pangu Universe present here, dragging you, this old dog, down with me wouldn't be difficult at all. It's even quite possible to drag down all you old dogs together—Longevity old dog, Sacred Demon old dog, Sheng old dog."
He was utterly unceremonious, calling the alien Giants 'old dog' one after another. Everyone else present was dumbfounded; the Supreme Ones trembled, and even the Quasi-Giants felt their scalps go numb.
It was only because it was the Battle Saint King. If it were anyone else, they would never dare speak like that. That was simply insulting a colossus from antiquity, a capital offense deserving death.
The expressions of the several alien Giants were indescribably ugly, but when they looked at the Battle Saint Ancestor and others standing behind Ye Chen, they felt a chill.
Because Battle Saint Ancestor, Heaven-Defying War Lord, and Tai Sheng Huang were all at the Primordial Giant level. What Ye Chen said was absolutely correct. They could kill him, but dragging a few of them down with him was not impossible.
If they really fought to the death, the Pangu Universe side could very well do it. In a desperate, life-or-death battle, even Longevity Divine Emperor, a Primordial Giant, might fall.
At this moment, Ye Chen turned to Longevity Divine Emperor and said, "Longevity old dog, since you want a sacrifice, I actually have a pretty good candidate, even better than me."
"Who?"
Hearing Ye Chen's address, Longevity Divine Emperor wasn't particularly angry—their enmity was already out in the open, and Ye Chen was a dead man walking anyway. But he was rather surprised by the candidate Ye Chen mentioned.
A candidate more suitable than him?
Ye Chen suddenly sent a voice transmission to Tai Sheng Huang and the other colossi from antiquity on his side: "Teacher, Ancestor, esteemed seniors, please buy me a little time."
"Good, do whatever you need to do," Tai Sheng Huang said immediately.
"Do what you want. We'll bear all consequences," Battle Saint Ancestor said succinctly, yet with firm resolve.
"It's him!"
Ye Chen pointed at a certain figure. Everyone's attention followed, and then they were stunned. It was actually an alien Quasi-Giant named Busi Guhuang, a renowned Quasi-Giant of his generation, the son of Longevity Divine Emperor, with hopes of becoming a new colossus from antiquity.
When looking at Busi Guhuang, deep within Ye Chen's eyes, there was boundless, endless killing intent.
Busi Guhuang was not only the son of Longevity Divine Emperor; more importantly, in the past, during the Great Cataclysm of Pangu Universe's mythology, he had personally participated in that war.
His hands were stained with Emperor's blood. He had once killed an Ancient Great Emperor from the Pangu Universe side.
Moreover, Busi Guhuang had once treated that slain Ancient Great Emperor as food, devouring him bite by bite right before the eyes of billions of living beings from the Pangu Universe side.
It could be said that Busi Guhuang was a butcher, deeply hated by the Pangu Universe side.
The Ancient Great Emperor who protected all living beings, a wise and immortal existence, had helplessly become blood food—an unforgotten hatred of the Pangu Universe.
Now, Ye Chen wished he could kill Busi Guhuang on the spot.
Busi Guhuang's expression changed.
Longevity Divine Emperor's voice suddenly turned sharp and cold: "Battle Saint King, do you truly seek death!"
"What's the matter? Isn't it just a mere Quasi-Giant? Is the alien race so reluctant to part with him?" Ye Chen mocked. "Busi Guhuang, I know you. You've proven your Dao for five epochs, yet you're truly useless, still just a Quasi-Giant. If I were you, I'd wish I were dead. We're all cultivators, yet you're so pathetic. Making you the sacrifice is your greatest use. Come out. Become the offering. Otherwise, a useless Quasi-Giant like you—you won't find many like that here."
"What? You're unwilling? Your father was just talking so grandly, telling others to lead by example—easy for him to say. But when it comes to a useless piece of trash like you, it's not okay? Truly, birds of a feather flock together—a pack of old dogs."
