"Suppress!"
Ye Chen roared, his inner origin universe erupting. Instantly, boundless surges of universe power surged forth, combined with his Chaos Divine Power, to counter-suppress these dark forces.
Soon, the dark forces were suppressed.
Ye Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart. As expected, universe power was too powerful, too special. Throughout the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, aside from the Universe Great Emperor, only he could master this most powerful world origin force.
With universe power combined with Chaos Divine Power, even the dark forces could not darken him.
Of course, this was only because these dark beams were utterly insignificant compared to the Origin Burial Lord.
The power of a single head of the Origin Burial Lord, one Death Breath, was comparable to the strongest strike of a Primordial Giant, a testament to its might.
If it were to unleash Death Breath upon Ye Chen, even with his origin universe, he would likely only meet his end!
"These dark blood drops are—"
As Ye Chen immersed his mind, he discovered the extraordinary nature of these dark blood drops. Though filled with absolute darkness, they were different from the demonic evil of the alien races and utterly distinct from ordinary dark Great Dao. They were purer, more special.
Moreover, he could sense that these dark blood drops were undergoing a special reaction with the Chaos Saint Blood within his body.
Sizzle—
Drop by drop, the dark blood was fusing with the Chaos Saint Blood, then inexplicably smelting into drops of crimson blood.
Originally, Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Blood had also returned to its original state, appearing blood-red, yet still containing a faint hue of chaos.
But these smelted drops of fresh blood had lost that chaotic hue, returning to purity, forming an absolute, flawless crimson.
His other Chaos Saint Blood trembled, as if subjects encountering their emperor.
How was this possible?
This was his Chaos Saint Blood, the blood of all origins, yet it was trembling?
Could this be the true Chaos True Blood?
Involuntarily, this thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind.
Before he could ponder further, a sudden, bone-chilling sense of crisis gripped him.
Death approached!
Silently, a figure appeared behind him and struck.
Ye Chen's hair stood on end. If he weren't the most monstrous genius of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times and the possessor of an origin universe, erupting with full power, he would never have been able to perceive it, for the opponent was not only a colossus from antiquity but an extraordinary one at that.
A glance from the corner of his eye revealed the assailant to be none other than the Longevity Divine Emperor.
He had somehow arrived behind him without notice.
The Longevity Divine Emperor seemed surprised that Ye Chen could detect his presence, revealing a trace of astonishment, but his icy voice rang out: "Die, Battle Saint King."
The most terrifying strike landed on his back.
Boom—
A strike from a Primordial Giant was something even an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant could hardly withstand. Half of Ye Chen's body exploded violently, and he was sent flying backward.
Simultaneously, at this moment, the tenth head of the Origin Burial Lord suddenly opened its eyes—purest black—glanced at Ye Chen, opened its mouth, and spat a black beam of light that directly entered his body.
First the Longevity Divine Emperor, then the Origin Burial Lord—neither was an opponent Ye Chen could currently resist, yet both struck at him simultaneously.
Most terrifyingly, the tenth head of the Origin Burial Lord was mysterious and unknown. This dark beam it spat out contained unfathomable power.
Ye Chen was covered in blood. Even more horrifying, terrifyingly powerful dark forces were rampaging wildly within his body.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
At this very moment, the power sealed within him was broken, and the power of the Great Dao rule projections of the colossi from antiquity surged forth in an instant!
Suddenly, absolutely terrifying dark forces and the power of the colossi from antiquity's Great Dao rule projections erupted simultaneously.
Ye Chen's consciousness directly sank into darkness.
His half-body plummeted downward.
The Longevity Divine Emperor's eyes flashed as he prepared to strike again. At that moment, the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord swung his Heaven-Defying Great Halberd in a furious slash, splitting the boundless Chaos Sea, cleaving through spacetime, forcing the Longevity Divine Emperor to retreat. He cast a deep glance at Ye Chen before turning to leave.
"Little Chen."
Emperor Yan's expression changed. He sensed Ye Chen's condition was dire. At this moment, he and Tai Sheng Huang pulled Ye Chen over, their expressions unprecedentedly grave, for they perceived that Ye Chen was contaminated by a massive amount of dark power. Even the Chaos Divine Power within him was ineffective, being corroded.
Almost uncontrollably, all of Ye Chen's Chaos Divine Power erupted, clashing wildly with these dark forces. Surges of destructive power ran rampant.
His already half-body continuously exploded at this moment, blood light spraying forth, soaring into the sky.
"Not good. This dark power is special. I sense a chaotic attribute," Tai Sheng Huang said gravely. As the strongest in the Chaos Great Dao throughout the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, he was most qualified to speak.
He felt that this dark power of the Origin Burial Lord seemed to be the other side of chaos.
If the chaos mastered by Tai Sheng Huang and Ye Chen belonged to the light side, then the Origin Burial Lord's chaotic power was darkness.
But for now, this was merely speculation.
The Battle Saint Ancestor, however, remarked in surprise, "Yet it may not necessarily be a bad thing. I can sense a special kind of blood being born within him, seemingly the legendary supreme true blood."
Tai Sheng Huang said, "Perhaps this is the true Chaos True Blood, the origin true blood."
"Regardless, let's apply seals first."
The three peerless giants of the Pangu Universe—Battle Saint Ancestor, Heaven-Defying Battle Lord, and Tai Sheng Huang—acted, laying layer upon layer of seals within Ye Chen's body to suppress it. But sensing the perilous situation within Ye Chen, they feared it could not be suppressed for long.
Simultaneously, an even more terrifying situation arose.
The Dark Universe shattered, completely exploding.
The terrifying destructive force swept in all directions, overwhelming everything, causing the Chaos Sea to tremble violently, far more terrifying than the collapse of the Origin Ancient Path.
The Origin Ancient Path had merely disintegrated, but the Dark Universe had utterly exploded.
The destructive power contained in the explosion of a Chaos Ancient Universe was enough to make colossi from antiquity fall.
Within the endless flames of destruction, visible to the naked eye, the ten-headed, ten-tailed body of the Origin Burial Lord emerged. Describing it as blotting out the sky and sun was insufficient. Its ten massive heads roared, shaking past, present, and future.
The Chaos Sea was in turmoil, all heavens trembled, and all living beings were horrified.
The most fearsome existence of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times had officially emerged!
The majestic body of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis was covered in blood, with half of it exploded. The Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis itself was more than half split apart, severely injured, for when the Dark Universe exploded, he bore the brunt, enduring the most terrifying impact.
If he weren't a Primordial Giant and didn't have the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis for defense, even someone as powerful as him would have only met his end. But now, he was left with his origin severely wounded.
The other giants also suffered injuries to varying degrees.
The End Immortal Venerable coughed blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained unblinkingly fixed on the center of the destructive flames, watching the ten-headed, ten-tailed Origin Burial Lord. He said gravely, "Could this be the source of the Blood-Stained Future?"
The source of the Blood-Stained Future had never been truly seen clearly; only a glimpse of its corner could be caught.
Now, the emergence of the Origin Burial Lord proved everything—it was the source of the Blood-Stained Future.
The expressions of several Immortal Kings—Pan Dao Immortal King, Chaos World Immortal King, Tai Shi Immortal King—turned grave. Battle Saint King, Heaven-Defying Battle Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, Emperor Yan, Alchemy Emperor, and others also looked somber.
They too believed this was the source of the Blood-Stained Future.
The emergence of the Origin Burial Lord, a near-Eternal invincible existence, heralded the formal descent of the Blood-Stained Future.
The most terrifying era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, the blood-stained era that even colossi from antiquity could not escape, had arrived!
"Go, little one. The Blood-Stained Future has formally descended. You will be much safer deep within the Chaos Sea."
The four giants of the Pangu Universe looked grave. Tai Sheng Huang, mastering chaos, pierced through it, opening a chaos passage. He sent Ye Chen, wrapped like a silkworm cocoon, into the chaos passage.
At this moment, Ye Chen could not participate in the battle and could only be sent far from this battlefield.
Moreover, Ye Chen was a key figure of the Pangu Universe and must not come to harm.
"We await your return!"
"One day, we will need your return to reverse all this!"
Tai Sheng Huang spoke, then closed the chaos passage, erasing all traces.
Ye Chen would be transported to a relatively safe place.
There, he would be safe, while here, even more terrifying events would ultimately erupt.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. Whether we live or die in this battle depends on all of you."
The End Immortal Venerable spoke, infinite immortal light blooming around him as he stood at the forefront.
With the emergence of the near-Eternal Origin Burial Lord, if not stopped, everything in the Chaos Sea might be utterly destroyed.
The Blood-Stained Future might be just this.
In this battle, even colossi from antiquity could not escape, for if the Origin Burial Lord truly moved, none could evade. Facing it, even colossi from antiquity would likely only meet their end.
"Protect all living beings! Fight!"
The End Immortal Venerable shouted, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis roared. The two Primordial Giants bore the brunt, charging forth with the various colossi from antiquity.
Behind them, Supreme Beings and Quasi-Giants followed, charging into battle.
Boom—
Chaos Sea, the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
The true Origin Land had not been pierced; instead, it had drawn forth a Dark Universe and led to the emergence of an immensely fearsome existence—the Origin Burial Lord!
Heavens collapsed, earth split, ages crumbled!
The Chaos Sea underwent great change; the most terrifying darkness of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times descended.
Visible to the naked eye, towering beams of blood light bloomed, dyeing the Chaos Sea red.
On this day, endless phenomena cyclically appeared within the Chaos Sea.
Some said it was the fall of Supreme Beings.
Some said it was the fall of Quasi-Giants.
Others said it was the fall of colossi from antiquity.
They were not wrong, for all were correct.
Endless darkness descended upon the Chaos Sea. The Dark Universe tore open, endless terror emerged, darkness rippled, overwhelming everything, submerging the Chaos Sea.
One Supreme Being after another fell, their Supreme Blood dyeing the endless Chaos Sea red.
One Quasi-Giant after another perished in body and spirit, forever drifting in the Chaos Sea, leaving profound footprints.
Even supreme giants who had overlooked Ten Thousand Ancient Eras perished, their endless bodies exploding in the Chaos Sea, their blood dyeing the Chaos Sea red, their bones shattering Chaos World after Chaos World, their souls burning to illuminate past and present...
All this heralded the formal descent of the Blood-Stained Future.
The most terrifying upheaval of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times had begun!
