All sides were horrified.
The Origin Burial Lord was too terrifying. Merely the residual shockwaves of its battle were enough for a Supreme One to be unable to withstand, directly exploding and perishing with both form and spirit extinguished.
What a fearsome existence this was.
Even the Giants changed expression, their faces grim.
Powerful as they were, they felt a bone-chilling sense of crisis. The slightest misstep, and even they faced the danger of falling!
The Origin Burial Lord, its eight heads representing the eight great origins of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, yin, and yang. The ninth head, shockingly, represented the origin of death. With a single exhalation from this death-origin head, death breath transformed into an endless storm of Great Dao runes, sweeping across the boundless land. Visible to the naked eye, Supreme Ones who failed to evade in time were submerged by the death breath, their life force stripped away, perishing instantly.
Before long, a full thirteen Supreme Ones had fallen.
Among them were two Quasi-Giants!
Just a single breath, and thirteen Supreme Ones or Quasi-Giants had perished.
A colossus from antiquity had an extremely grim expression: "Even if we struck with our full power, I fear we could barely achieve such might?"
Perhaps only the strongest single strikes of primal Giants like the End Immortal Venerable, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis, or the Battle Saint Ancestor could accomplish this.
Yet the Origin Burial Lord had caused such devastating disaster with just a single death breath.
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis looked utterly grim. With a furious roar, he suppressed the area with the fully awakened Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis, personally blocking the ninth head, shouting to the assembled venerables: "This lord will hold back this head. The rest of you, attack!"
The other Giants also stepped forward one after another, suppressing the Origin Burial Lord's other eight heads and tail. The Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants attacked even more frenziedly, wanting to suppress the Origin Burial Lord back into the Dark Universe.
However, what was despairing was that the Origin Burial Lord's defense was too terrifying. Supreme Ones, even Quasi-Giants, found it difficult to harm it.
The radiance of the eight origins flowed across its body surface, blocking all Supreme One attacks.
The assembled venerables were horrified. Under their combined assault, even a colossus from antiquity would be blasted apart, a Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe would be annihilated, yet they couldn't breach the Origin Burial Lord's defense.
The Heavenly Clan Lord of the Origin Saint Clan said solemnly: "The Origin Burial Lord is a half-step Eternal existence, with infinite mana and a truly indestructible body. Only Giants can harm it. We need to restrain it while attacking."
The Giants understood; only they could injure the Origin Burial Lord.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! —
At the same time, around this half-step Eternal existence, the Origin Burial Lord, boundless dark power wantonly surged, inundating all directions, with billions of dark beams of light shooting forth.
There was no avoiding them. Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants were struck by these dark beams.
Any Supreme One struck by a dark beam at this moment actually let out a scream.
Visible to the naked eye, the bodies of these Supreme Ones actually began to show signs of decay. Their Supreme One Indestructible Bodies, said to be impervious to the ravages of time, were gradually tainted by darkness, being corroded and rotting away.
As more and more dark beams struck them, the decay of the Supreme Ones accelerated.
Especially several Supreme Ones who were struck by over ten thousand dark beams were directly reduced to ashes on the spot, their form and spirit utterly annihilated.
The world was shaken with terror!
What kind of bizarre and dreadful power was that? Even more terrifying than the previous chaos light, capable of rotting away Supreme Ones.
"Everyone, be careful! These dark beams contain the dark blood of the Origin Burial Lord," a colossus from antiquity shouted. The Origin Burial Lord's power was infinite, beyond imagination. A single drop of its blood contained immeasurable dark power, harbored within the dark beams. Even a Supreme One would rot away.
Of course, this also indicated the Origin Burial Lord's situation had reached an extremely dangerous point. Otherwise, why would it refine its own dark blood into the dark beams to attack the venerables?
Almost every Supreme One present was struck by dark beams to varying degrees, suffering injuries of different severities.
Quasi-Giants were no exception. These dark beams contained a peculiar and sinister power. Once it invaded the body, the consequences were extraordinary. Injuries appeared, and their entire aura was suppressed.
The colossi from antiquity also wore grave expressions, but relying on their colossus bodies and Dao techniques, they could withstand it.
Ultimately, they were the most terrifying existences.
"Everyone, be extra careful, especially of the Origin Burial Lord's tenth head!" the End Immortal Venerable warned in a low, solemn voice, his eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the Origin Burial Lord's most mysterious tenth head. The attributes of the other nine heads were understood, but the tenth remained mysteriously unknown.
However, that head seemed to remain in slumber, having only opened its eyes at the very beginning before closing them again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! —
Another countless number of dark beams shot forth.
The Supreme Ones dodged; the Giants blocked.
Roar! —
With a fierce howl, a group of alien Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe colossi from antiquity led by the Longevity Divine Emperor attacked, striking together at one of the Origin Burial Lord's heads, causing it to split open and flesh to tear. A large amount of dark blood spurted out, erupting with even more terrifying Great Dao power, and endless dark beams of light shot forth.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's expression changed, because the figures of the Longevity Divine Emperor and the other alien Giants vanished. Countless dark beams and droplets of dark blood abruptly rushed toward him.
Just as Ye Chen was about to dodge, the void in this area was suddenly sealed.
A Giant had acted, and not an ordinary one—it was the Longevity Divine Emperor who had sealed this region of the Chaos Sea.
Even though Ye Chen was an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant and erupted with his full power the instant he sensed it, breaking through the spacetime seal, it was futile. Endless dark beams and dark blood rained down.
In this crisis, he could only strike out with all his might, blasting toward the dark beams and dark blood to neutralize them.
Unfortunately, in the end, he was struck by a full several hundred thousand dark beams.
Among them, a full ten thousand droplets of dark blood, along with the dark beams, entered his body.
"Not good! The dark power contained in this dark blood is too terrifying. Even my Chaos Saint Body can't withstand it." Ye Chen's expression changed. Even as an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant, it was useless. He only felt an extremely terrifying dark force wantonly surging within his body, actually shattering his powerful Chaos Saint Body inch by inch.
At the same time, even more terrifying dark beams continuously shot forth, ultimately crashing into Ye Chen's body one after another.
"Such dreadful power. This is less than a million dark beams, yet I feel my Chaos Saint Body actually can't withstand it, starting to disintegrate. What kind of power is this dark force? Even a colossus from antiquity couldn't achieve this."
Ye Chen's expression shifted again. He could sense the peculiar nature of these dark beams. Even the Chaos Divine Power within his body couldn't resist them.
Moreover, the Chaos Divine Power was also being tainted by this dark force, gradually darkening.
This situation was unprecedented.
All along, his Chaos Dao techniques had been invincible, but now an anomaly had occurred.
