The Chaos Sea was vast and boundless.
Throughout the ages, no one had been able to explore it completely, not even the colossi from antiquity.
Just as the most fearsome changes in history were occurring in the outside world, deep within the Chaos Sea, in an unexplored region of chaos, a massive Chaos Light Cocoon crashed violently into the area, churning up endless waves of ancient chaotic energy. It took a long time before everything gradually calmed down.
This Chaos Light Cocoon, though called a cocoon of light, was in fact no smaller than a Chaos Primordial Great World—immense beyond measure. At times it shimmered with brilliant chaotic light, at other times endless black radiance surfaced, and occasionally, the auras of several supreme colossi from antiquity would manifest, their majestic phantoms flickering in and out as if the three mightiest titans had descended to suppress it.
As time passed, the chaotic light, black radiance, and titan imprints gradually faded. In the end, only the enormous cocoon of light, now purely chaotic in color, remained, pulsating wildly, expanding and contracting.
With each contraction, this vast domain of the Chaos Sea rippled continuously, for the Chaos Light Cocoon was endlessly devouring infinite chaos.
The affected area of the Chaos Sea was extremely vast, boundless, nearly the size of an Ancient Chaos Universe.
Year after year, time held no meaning.
As the epochs changed, the world descended into its most terrifying darkness.
The blood-stained future descended, and even the Ancient Chaos Universes were not spared.
Over these years, countless had fallen. Not just Supreme Ones, but even Quasi-Giants, and even colossi from antiquity had perished. Each event was earth-shattering, its impact too great.
In this era, the fall of a Supreme One could no longer be compared to the past.
Quasi-Giants were not invincible, and colossi from antiquity faced the danger of falling.
This was a difficult epoch, far surpassing any before. The number of fallen Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and colossi from antiquity exceeded that of any previous epoch.
Even Supreme Ones felt the crisis; this era was perilous.
The Supreme Ones within the Ancient Chaos Universes were somewhat better off, for each Ancient Chaos Universe was not easily breached, bolstered by its origin and guarded by colossi from antiquity, making them relatively much safer.
Those outside the Ancient Chaos Universes were far more dangerous, even those within Chaos Primordial Great Worlds.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred thousand years had passed since the darkness descended.
This year, several Supreme Ones ventured deep into the Chaos Sea. On one hand, the depths of the Chaos Sea were relatively safer; on the other, they sought treasures to strengthen themselves.
In this dark epoch, only by continuously strengthening oneself could one truly protect oneself and survive this most dangerous period.
Suddenly, three Supreme Ones discovered this place, sensing the strange disturbances in this domain of the Chaos Sea.
Confident in their skills and bold, the three Supreme Ones ventured deep into this vast domain and finally beheld the Chaos Light Cocoon, as large as a Chaos Primordial Great World. They were shocked, sensing an immeasurable aura slowly unfurling from within the cocoon.
"Could it be that a peerless treasure is being nurtured within this cocoon of light?" one Supreme One suddenly said. This was not impossible, for many supreme treasures were born from the Chaos Sea.
Chaos Holy Spirits were the same.
If what was being nurtured within this cocoon, comparable to a Chaos Primordial Great World, was a treasure, what kind of treasure would it be?
If it was a living being, what kind of heaven-defying creature would it be?
The three Supreme Ones could hardly contain their excitement. In this era, the darkest throughout the ages, this blood-stained epoch, not only Supreme Ones but even Quasi-Giants and colossi from antiquity had fallen.
Only by being truly powerful could one survive in this blood-stained epoch.
If this enormous cocoon of light before them contained a treasure, perhaps it could allow their strength to advance further, enabling them to protect themselves against great enemies.
Boom—
Before they could act, the silent Chaos Light Cocoon suddenly trembled.
This domain of the Chaos Sea nearly exploded. The enormous Chaos Light Cocoon abruptly burst open. The three Supreme Ones retreated far back, but their eyes remained fixed intently on the scene, wanting to know what was inside the cocoon.
Silently, the exploded cocoon transformed into vast showers of chaotic light rain, containing a vitality that made the three Supreme Ones' eyes turn red with greed, madly gathering together.
Gradually, in the central area, a tall and upright, heroic figure rose to his feet. He appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old, possessing an incredibly perfect physique, eyes like stars, a handsome and elegant appearance, radiant as jade.
His lustrous black hair fell naturally, and a black robe covered his perfect form.
With his every movement, the Chaos Sea churned, the effect immense.
Fortunately, this was a vast, uninhabited region within the Chaos Sea. Apart from the three Supreme Ones who had stumbled upon it, there were no other living beings here. The area was even more expansive than an Ancient Chaos Universe. Otherwise, such movement would inevitably cause massive effects, affecting all directions!
"It's a person, a true human. What a powerful aura."
The three Supreme Ones were astonished, sensing the earth-shattering aura majestically unfurling from the heroic youth. Powerful as they were as Supreme Ones, at this moment they trembled uncontrollably, hearts filled with fear.
Clearly, the black-robed youth before them was far stronger than they were.
"Such a powerful presence. A Quasi-Giant? No, even a Quasi-Giant cannot compare. He is a true colossus from antiquity. Which human titan is this!" The Supreme Ones were shocked. Such an aura could only be felt on a colossus from antiquity, making the Supreme origins within their bodies tremble violently, almost on the verge of shattering.
They were certain that the figure before them was undoubtedly a human titan who overlooked the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, supremely powerful.
Who would have thought that within the enormous cocoon was not a nurtured treasure, but a peerless titan in slumber.
They just weren't sure which human titan this was.
After all, they were only Supreme Ones who had been roused to emerge after the great dark war of that year and had never seen him before.
"Where is this?"
The young, heroic youth awoke, sweeping his gaze around. His eyes were incomparably brilliant, countless times more dazzling than the heavenly sun, directly piercing through the chaos, containing the world-splitting power of creation.
The Great Dao rumbled, the Chaos Sea continuously churned, shaken by his might.
The three Supreme Ones lowered their proud heads, bowing in submission to this human titan before them.
Under such pressure, they felt only terror, their Supreme origins as if about to explode, trembling violently.
He saw that this place was extremely desolate, boundless and vast, part of the Chaos Sea.
Soon, he remembered everything from that year.
He was Ye Chen, struck by the Origin Burial Master's dark beam and the dark pillar from the tenth head. The Great Dao seal within his body had been shattered, and he had fallen into unconsciousness.
Ye Chen sensed everything within his body. His power was now immeasurably stronger than before, having completely stepped into another realm—that of a colossus from antiquity!
