"Fellow Daoists."
The seven colossi from antiquity of the Origin Saint Race did not dare to be negligent, responding in kind.
In the past, the Origin Saint Race had ruled the entire Chaos Sea. How arrogant, how peerless they were, looking down upon all heavens, revered throughout the ages—who dared to disobey?
But that was already countless epochs ago. After the Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Generation emerged to forcefully break their dominance, the Origin Saint Race had gradually withdrawn from the world over these epochs.
The Violet Firmament Immortal King frowned. These Origin Saint Race colossi had not appeared when the final segment of the ancient path was being opened, yet now they were all eagerly showing up one after another. Could it be they wanted to seize the fruits of success at this moment?
Thinking this, his gaze also turned quite unfriendly.
The Termination Immortal Venerable said calmly, "Fellow Daoists of the Origin Saint Race, for what purpose have you come at this time?"
If they intended to pluck the final achievement at this critical juncture, even if it were the Origin Saint Race, he was not afraid. At worst, they would fight.
This was no longer the early days of the Chaos Sea. The Primordial Immortal Realm, hailed as the number one Ancient Chaos Universe of the Chaos Sea, would not fear the Origin Saint Race.
"We came for it." The seven colossi from antiquity of the Origin Saint Race did not conceal their purpose, pointing at the ten-headed, ten-tailed terrifying existence within the Dark Universe. At this moment, each of them wore grave expressions. "It's bad. It really is it!"
Hearing their words, it was clear they knew exactly what the indescribable being within the Dark Universe was.
The Termination Immortal Venerable furrowed his brows. "Fellow Daoists, you know its origins?"
The seven colossi of the Origin Saint Race nodded, just about to speak.
Suddenly, the ten-headed, ten-tailed mysterious existence within the Dark Universe abruptly opened its many eyes. A cold, merciless gaze pierced through the Dark Universe and fell upon the assembled colossi.
At that moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines—including the colossi from antiquity.
Unprecedented!
All living beings shuddered!
It seemed even more terrifying than the colossi from antiquity!
"It's bad, it's awakened!" one of the Origin Saint Race colossi exclaimed in alarm.
Boom—
Instantly, the entire Dark Universe began to tremble violently. The ten-headed, ten-tailed mysterious existence swayed its heads and tails, causing the massive, boundless chains to shake wildly, clattering and ringing out across the Chaos Sea.
Boundless dark power began to spill out, disturbing the outside world.
Waves of power, even stronger than that of the colossi from antiquity, suddenly surged forth.
The entire Dark Universe convulsed. The deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path exploded instantly. Heaven-shattering, earth-rending power manifested as endless darkness surged out, impacting in all directions—unimaginable.
"Everyone, please act! Suppress it! We absolutely cannot let it successfully emerge, or the entire mortal world will be destroyed!" one of the Origin Saint Race's colossi from antiquity urgently pleaded. As colossi, they were wise figures, unflappable in conduct and calm in mind. But at this moment, even the Origin Saint Race's colossi showed such alarm. One could imagine that the being within the Dark Universe likely had a significant origin, a shocking background.
The other colossi also dared not delay, for they sensed the fearsomeness of this mysterious existence—it was indeed outrageously powerful.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The colossi joined forces to suppress it, a power none in the world could withstand.
The Dark Universe was suppressed. The power of the ten-headed, ten-tailed existence within was gradually being pressed down.
Boom—
Suddenly, a mysterious light, resembling Eternity itself, came from an unknown source, impossible to trace. In an instant, it pierced through this Dark Universe, shattering the many sealing chains.
"Who is it?!"
One of the Origin Saint Race's colossi from antiquity roared, immensely furious.
This intervention was far too sudden, directly and cleverly breaking the endless sealing shackles.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The terrifying existence, which had been under immense suppression, immediately broke free from its heavy shackles and revived in an instant.
Incomparable power erupted, overwhelming everything. In a flash, it forcibly tore open the barrier of the Dark Universe, extending a terrifying half-body that was only slightly smaller than an Ancient Chaos Universe.
Accompanying it was a supremely terrifying dark power that shook the Chaos Sea, instantly stirring up billions upon billions of towering waves—each wave capable of submerging a great world.
The most fearsome existence in history had emerged!
The Chaos Sea shook violently. The seven colossi from antiquity of the Origin Saint Race also changed color.
Too terrifying, too dreadful. How could such a terrifying creature exist in the world?
Even the Ancient Chaos Universe was torn apart. That level of power was something not even the colossi from antiquity possessed—it surpassed them.
The seven colossi from antiquity of the Origin Saint Race said gravely, "This is disastrous. We never expected it would revive and forcibly emerge. This is absolutely a calamity of heaven-shaking proportions for the entire Chaos Sea."
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis now wore an expression of utmost gravity. "Fellow Daoists, what exactly is it?"
The other colossi also looked toward the Origin Saint Race side.
They had shattered the final barrier of the Origin Ancient Path, attracted various origin sacred objects, pierced through the darkness, and pulled out a Dark Universe—only to ultimately draw forth such a great terror.
What exactly was it?
Presently, only a saint race like the Origin Saint Race, guardians of the Origin Land, could likely know its truth.
"Allow me to explain a little to everyone." One of the seven colossi of the Origin Saint Race, the leader who seemed to bear thirty-three layers of heavens upon his back like a master of the Heavenly Dao, spoke. His figure was hazy, immensely powerful, not inferior to the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis or the Termination Immortal Venerable. He was the master of the Origin Heaven Clan, and he said solemnly, "It is the Origin Burial Lord!"
"The Origin Burial Lord?"
Clearly, even among the assembled colossi, there was surprise and doubt, for they did not understand what the so-called Origin Burial Lord was.
Even the most ancient stele recording eternal mysteries had no relevant records.
The master of the Origin Heaven Clan said, "The Origin Burial Lord was not born of the Chaos Sea. Its true origin is actually from the Origin Land. It belongs to a generation of peerless, great evil, an existence unrivaled throughout the ages. More importantly, the Ancestor once mentioned that in the past, the Origin Burial Lord's strength approached that of Eternity, surpassing even the colossi from antiquity."
The Ancestor referred to the Ancestor of the Origin Saint Race, the Ancestor of the Eight Great Saint Races—a being on par with the Heavenly Emperor, the Primordial Generation, the Immortal Ancestor, and the Universe Great Emperor.
All living beings were shaken. Eternity truly existed.
And before them, this ten-headed, ten-tailed existence was actually the legendary Origin Burial Lord that came from the Origin Land.
It was an invincible existence infinitely close to Eternity.
Though described slowly, the exchange among the colossi and venerables took less than an instant. Seeing the mysterious, half-step Eternal Origin Burial Lord break free from its cosmic prison and emerge, the colossi dared not be careless. They immediately took action to suppress it.
Even within the Chaos Sea, other supreme colossi were alarmed and began arriving one after another.
"Everyone, let us join forces to suppress it. We, the assembled colossi, are peerless in this vast world. What is there that we cannot suppress?" The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis spoke gravely, letting out a great shout as he took the lead, launching a forceful suppression.
The Ten Thousand Ancient City itself was summoned. This number one city of all ages now crossed the skies. Though it appeared as tiny as dust compared to the immense Dark Universe, now, in its fully revived state, its might was incomparable, enough to shake a true Ancient Chaos Universe.
The Ten Thousand Ancient City descended from the heavens, unleashing billions of layers of imposing might. The Chaos Sea boiled even more fiercely as incomparable ancient chaos energy was devoured and began to burn, making the Ten Thousand Ancient City's power increasingly terrifying.
Under the suppression of the Ten Thousand Ancient City in this fully revived state, even a colossus from antiquity would be crushed.
Boom—
The Dark Universe shook violently. The Origin Burial Lord's vast, boundless dark body was forcibly driven back somewhat.
At the same time, the Termination Immortal Venerable, the Battle Saint Ancestor, Tai Sheng Huang, and others dared not delay. They immediately acted, unleashing incomparable power that surged forth to strike the Origin Burial Lord.
The seven colossi from antiquity of the Origin Saint Race also took action.
The many Quasi-Giants and Supreme Rulers naturally joined in as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The combined assault of all the venerables was unimaginably terrifying,could be called / deemed unstoppable, with none in the world able to withstand it. Even the Origin Burial Lord bled profusely. Its body, vast and endless as an Ancient Chaos Universe, was torn and lacerated. Clearly visible were drops of dark blood spilling down, each drop radiating infinite darkness.
Even a single drop falling would likely corrupt an entire world into darkness.
As these dark blood drops fell, it was clear to see the Chaos Sea gradually being tainted by darkness, even spontaneously giving rise to waves of dark storms.
Each dark storm was boundless, carrying immeasurable Great Dao runes and containing the most dreadful destructive power.
"Fellow Daoists, continue the assault! Suppress it!" The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis shouted. He was at the forefront, using the Ten Thousand Ancient City to suppress and destroy wave after wave of dark storms. Otherwise, if they swept into the Chaos Sea, the consequences would be truly endless.
For he could see these dark storms were not simple; they could continuously devour chaos energy to grow stronger. Once released, not to mention the Primordial Chaos Great World, even an Ancient Chaos Universe would be in peril.
The other colossi from antiquity naturally would not stand idly by. Under their combined efforts, these dark storms were annihilated one after another, never reaching the Chaos Sea.
At the same time, even more terrifying attacks blossomed, continuously landing upon the Origin Burial Lord.
The Origin Burial Lord was naturally not simple either. A half-step Eternal existence, incomparably powerful—one could even say the most powerful throughout history. Only the suspected truly Eternal Pangu was stronger than it.
But then, the Origin Burial Lord's incomparably massive body was gradually breaking free from the Dark Universe prison bit by bit, stirring up layer upon layer of terrifying great waves in the Chaos Sea.
Its ten heads were all immensely huge. With each opening of its mouths, it spewed wrathful breath containing the world's most dreadful power, saturated with the eight fundamental forces of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, yin, and yang. Each strike was equivalent to the level of an original-generation colossus—frighteningly terrifying.
The Chaos Sea itself exploded, shaking heaven and earth.
Beams of fundamental light, immensely thick, attacked the positions of the colossi and venerables.
The Battle Saint Ancestor, the Defying Heaven War Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, the Termination Immortal Venerable, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis, the Eternal Life Divine Emperor, and several other original-generation colossi met the attacks, blocking them. But residual shockwaves still crashed toward the other venerables.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Five Supreme Rulers failed to dodge in time and exploded violently, their forms and spirits annihilated.
Deathly phenomena descended upon this boundless land!
