To be more precise, this was a shattered Ancient Chaos Universe. Its cosmic boundaries were broken, the entire Ancient Chaos Universe had collapsed, much like the Eight Desolations Ancient Universe of the past—tattered and ruined.
Billions of living beings had perished, deities had fallen, and Emperors were buried, presenting a desolate scene.
Ancient Chaos Qi filled the interior of this Ancient Chaos Universe.
The stars of the heavens were shattered, fragments of supercontinents drifted about, blood stained the great cosmos, leaving behind endless deathly stillness.
Arriving here, Ye Chen could sense that the destroyed Ancient Chaos Universe still contained powerful traces of the Great Dao, indicating the event had occurred not long ago—less than a hundred thousand years.
His current cultivation reached through heaven and earth. His eyes, fused with the Eyes of the Heavens, could truly pierce through illusions. Within his gaze, he reversed the flow of time, witnessing everything from the past.
This Ancient Chaos Universe had been shattered by human hands.
He "saw" that in the past, a colossus from antiquity had launched a fierce assault. Under the terror of a battle that surpassed all ages, this Ancient Chaos Universe was shattered, sending the infinite living beings of an entire Ancient Chaos Universe to their graves.
Ye Chen's heart trembled slightly. It was indeed the Blood-Stained Epoch. Even Ancient Chaos Universes could not escape, destined to be destroyed. The Ancient Chaos Universe before his eyes was a sacrifice.
Had the Blood-Stained Future truly arrived?
Ye Chen grew increasingly tense, worried that the Pangu Universe might also be shattered like the Ancient Chaos Universe before him.
Of course, this was merely a psychological concern. Born from the Pangu Universe, he was a key figure who had inherited the infinite fortune of the great cosmos. Having reached his current cultivation level, he was a true supreme Giant, intrinsically connected to the Pangu Universe. He could sense it still existed, not yet destroyed.
He just wasn't clear about the Pangu Universe's current state—whether it had been mythically shattered like the previous epoch. After all, he could only perceive whether the Pangu Universe existed; its specific condition was difficult to sense, being too far away.
Boom—
Ye Chen stepped onto the Chaos Great Dao, charging straight towards the location of the Pangu Universe.
Along the way, he observed that the closer he got to the core domains of the Chaos Sea, the more the surroundings gradually turned a bloody red. Infinite bloody light dyed vast stretches of the Chaos Sea domains.
From time to time, he saw corpses of unimaginable size lying within the chaos.
At the very least, they were at the Ancient Monarch level, with no shortage of Monarchs. After falling, they revealed their true forms. Many were as vast as supreme great worlds, their hair capable of sweeping through the stars of the heavens, immeasurably huge, and permeated with terrifying battle scars.
Naturally, he also saw blood from Supreme Ones and even Quasi-Giants, but no intact corpses.
Upon careful thought, this was reasonable. After all, those who cultivated to the Supreme One level were treasures themselves, no less valuable than Supreme Emperor's Weapons. Even a single strand of hair possessed infinite uses. How could such things be left behind in the mortal world? They would have long been collected by others or taken away for burial.
However, he did see many fragments of Supreme One and Quasi-Giant Dao Weapons, though the divine nature within the fragments had been worn away, leaving only the hard, indestructible shards.
This showed the intensity of the battles. Even Supreme Emperor's Weapons and Quasi-Giant weapons were shattered like this, with Supreme Emperor's Laws and Emperor's Marks ground into nothingness.
Ye Chen sighed softly. It was evident that over the past hundred thousand years, far too many terrifying battles had occurred.
Even fragments of Supreme Emperor's Weapons or partial Supreme One remains—along the way, Ye Chen had seen no less than ten such instances.
Clearly, these were all remnants left behind by Supreme Ones who had fallen in the past.
Once upon a time, would so many Supreme Ones have fallen? In times of peace, an entire epoch might not witness so many fall.
Yet, during the hundred thousand years of his slumber, with the arrival of the Blood-Stained Epoch, so many had actually fallen. One could imagine how perilous the situation in the Chaos Sea had been over those hundred thousand years.
Rumble—
Suddenly, in a domain of the Chaos Sea separated by an immeasurable distance, a dazzling beam of light erupted, boiling and threatening to burn half of the Chaos Sea.
Extremely terrifying Great Dao fluctuations scattered chaos across billions of li. Worlds and realms born from chaos exploded, and chaos stars perished.
In the distant sky, supreme experts were engaged in a peak-level great battle.
Supreme Ones!
Only those at the Supreme One level could create such world-destroying fluctuations within the Chaos Sea.
"It is said that in the Blood-Stained Future, even colossi from antiquity cannot escape or avoid it. Indeed, it has only been a hundred thousand years since it began, and I have already seen so many remnants or Dao Weapon fragments left behind by fallen Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants. Ahead, I even witness a Supreme One battle—something that would be difficult to encounter even once in billions of years in the past," Ye Chen lamented. In the Blood-Stained Epoch, even colossi from antiquity could not remain safe, let alone others.
Today's Supreme One battle might very well claim another Supreme One.
A Supreme One was no ordinary cultivator. To reach this step and attain the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor, in past epoch eras, such a figure would be a renowned, generation-defining personality.
Now, was he to watch a Supreme One fall before his eyes?
Ye Chen shook his head, feeling a touch of emotion, but that was all.
His journey to this point was no accident. In the past, he had slain not a few Supreme Ones and even killed Quasi-Giants. Having experienced much, his mental state was formidable.
He had little interest in Supreme One battles. Compared to that, he was more concerned about the current state of the Pangu Universe.
"Hmm? This origin fluctuation feels somewhat familiar. Could it be a Human Race Supreme from the Pangu Universe?"
Suddenly, Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, halting his steps. His gaze pierced through endless time and space, clearly seeing an intense Supreme One battle occurring at an extreme distance from him. It was a peak confrontation between three Supreme Ones, with two Great Perfection Realm Emperor-level Supreme Ones pursuing and attacking a Human Race Supreme.
This Human Race Supreme was in a very dangerous state, his aura withered, having sustained severe injuries.
What made Ye Chen even more astonished was that, speaking of which, this Human Race Supreme was an old acquaintance.
He hadn't expected to encounter this old friend here after so many years. Moreover, this peer from their competitive youth had successfully attained the Dao to become an Emperor over a hundred thousand years later.
"Shen Rong, attaining the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor in a hundred and thirty thousand years. You truly are a heaven-defying talent," Ye Chen revealed a faint smile. Upon awakening and returning, being able to meet an old friend here was naturally a cause for happiness.
Especially since this old friend had successfully attained the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor.
Attaining the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor in a hundred and thirty thousand years could be considered an astonishing cultivation speed.
After all, throughout the ages, the Emperor Realm shackles had halted who knew how many Monarchs, preventing them from successfully attaining the Dao to become Supreme Emperors in their entire lifetimes.
Even those exceptionally dazzling talents who ultimately succeeded in attaining the Dao to become Supreme Emperors had lingered in the Monarch period for immensely long periods, often for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, accumulating bit by bit.
Overall, Shen Rong's age upon attaining the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor could be considered sufficiently young, enough to look down upon many Supreme Emperors throughout history.
Even Ye Chen himself could not compare to Shen Rong in this regard. After all, though he possessed supreme Giant combat power, he was fundamentally still a Monarch—it was just that his fighting strength was outrageously strong.
Meeting an old friend brought Ye Chen some joy, but soon his gaze darkened. "Good, good, good. To think someone dares to pursue and attack a Human Race Supreme from my Pangu Universe. They truly have the courage of a bear and the daring of a leopard."
The anger of a Giant manifested infinite phenomena. Countless worlds and realms exploded, and billions of stars plummeted.
Ye Chen was a supreme Giant of the Pangu Universe and a member of the human race. How could he allow others to pursue and attack a Supreme One from the Pangu Universe's side?
