Although Ye Chen's methods were astonishing, the imposing might of the Alien Ancient Universe overshadowed the entire Chaos Sea.
Especially since the beginning of this Blood-Stained Epoch, who in this vast world would dare to easily oppose the Alien Ancient Universe?
It was precisely for this reason that this Supreme One was so brazen, not hesitating to threaten Ye Chen.
"The alien race?" Ye Chen smiled and said, "I can sense that not all of you are Supreme Ones from the Alien Ancient Universe. Even among the three behind, only you are the true Alien Emperor, am I right?"
As a Supreme Giant, his perception was world-shaking. How could these Supreme Ones hide from his senses?
In an instant, he could sense the origin aura of all the Supreme Ones. Among the five Supreme Ones pursuing Shen Rong, only one was a Supreme Emperor from the Alien Ancient Universe.
The other four Supreme Ones belonged to factions outside the Alien Ancient Universe.
The two Supreme Ones were startled, as were the three behind them. They never expected that this mysterious Supreme One who had suddenly appeared to save Shen Rong not only knew their exact number but also knew how many were true Alien Emperors.
Suddenly, the five Supreme Ones felt a trace of wariness toward Ye Chen.
This person was not simple!
"Since Fellow Daoist already knows the number of our Supreme Ones, there's no need to hide any longer. Fellow Daoists, please show yourselves."
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Behind them, the Chaos Sea erupted as dazzling beams of Supreme light illuminated the heavens.
Three Supreme Ones appeared together, their bodies radiating powerful Supreme auras. They joined the two Supreme Ones, forming a group of five.
Moreover, as the five Supreme Ones stepped forward, they formed an encirclement, subtly sealing off all directions, leaving Ye Chen and Shen Rong, who were surrounded, with no path of retreat.
The true Alien Emperor spoke with a sinister tone, "Since you've figured it out and helped a Supreme One of the Pangu Universe, we have no choice but to slaughter you today as well. You can only blame your misfortune for helping him and running into us."
Shen Rong tensed up. He wasn't sure how strong Ye Chen was currently, but five Supreme Emperors at the Great Perfection Emperor Realm—even a Quasi-Giant facing them might not be able to win.
Yet Ye Chen stood as immovable as a mountain. Facing the overwhelming aura recklessly released by the five Supreme Ones, he remained completely still. Instead, he turned to Shen Rong and said, "Although your injuries have healed, you're still very weak. Rest for a bit. Leave this to me."
Shen Rong gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Brother Ye, I don't know your current cultivation level, but under the joint assault of these five Supreme Emperors at the Great Perfection Realm, even a Quasi-Giant would face some danger. Later, I can hold them off and even self-destruct. But you are a key figure of our Pangu Universe; you must not come to harm. You have limitless potential—it's not impossible for you to reach the realm of a colossus from antiquity in the future. You absolutely must not come to harm."
He understood the gravity of the situation. Although he had attained the Dao and become a Supreme One, his importance paled in comparison to Ye Chen's. The latter was the strongest prodigy of all time, upon whom the Giants of the Pangu Universe placed great hopes. He could not be allowed to come to harm easily.
Hearing this, Ye Chen merely smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. Dealing with these people, I alone am enough."
As his words fell, the five Supreme Ones erupted with sinister voices: "What arrogance! You dare say you alone are enough? You dare look down on us?"
"In that case, let's see where you get the courage to disregard us like this."
"Attack! Kill both of them directly, annihilate their true spirits! Then hang their heads on the cosmic border of our Ancient Universe to show the rabble of the Pangu Universe the absolute might of our Ancient Universe dominating the Chaos Sea!"
The Alien Emperor spoke, and simultaneously, the five Supreme Ones attacked together. Boundless Supreme Emperor Laws manifested, with emperor light flooding the heavens, giving rise to unimaginably vast Supreme phenomena. Accompanied by Supreme divine abilities, they blasted toward Shen Rong and Ye Chen.
"Pierce Through All Ages!"
"Great Sun Like Thunder!"
"Ages of Time Pass Away!"
"All Laws as One!"
"Bury Heaven, Bury Earth, Bury the World!"
The five Supreme Ones simultaneously unleashed supreme forbidden divine abilities. They were truly enraged and intended to slay Ye Chen, who dared to disregard them, immediately.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
The might was so immense that it could instantly blast a Primordial Chaos Great World to dust, pierce through spacetime, and penetrate past, present, and future. It was the most terrifying forbidden assault of Supreme Emperors.
Even a Quasi-Giant would have to avoid itsedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat).
"Be careful! I'll join in too."
Shen Rong's heart tightened. The divine abilities unleashed by the five Supreme Ones were so powerful that any Supreme One facing them would only meet destruction.
He didn't know if Ye Chen could withstand it, but he had to brace himself and endure it now.
But Ye Chen held him back and said, "Trust me. Dealing with them, I alone am enough."
As his words fell, he took a step forward. With this step, from his tall, straight, and heroic physique, a might that could be described as shaking the past and illuminating the present—a boundless, immeasurable aura—suddenly erupted in this region of the Chaos Sea, even piercing through spacetime and sweeping across infinite regions of the Chaos Sea.
Boom—
Space wasrestrained!
Time stood still!
All things, all spirits, all Daos lost their meaning!
Instantly, this region of the Chaos Sea stiffened under this immeasurable might, including the five Supreme Ones who were in the midst of attacking. Their entire bodies stiffened,restrained, unable to move a muscle. They looked in horror and terror at the person at the center of it all—Ye Chen.
It was bone-chilling!
Such might was not something mere Supreme Ones could compare to. Even Quasi-Giants fell far short.
A Supreme Giant!
When this thought surfaced in their minds, the five Supreme Ones felt ice-cold all over, utterly terrified.
No matter how they tried, they could never have imagined that this heroic youth who had suddenly appeared—whom they believed to be at most a Supreme One—would ultimately reveal an aura that clearly proclaimed to the world: this was a Supreme Giant who overshadowed all ages!
Behind him, Shen Rong stared blankly at Ye Chen, his face also filled with disbelief and shock.
"A... a colossus from antiquity!?"
He too couldn't believe it. This was someone he had once competed with as a peer. Although Ye Chen had later surpassed him, leaping ahead and traveling far on the Emperor's Path, even becoming a Quasi-Giant-like existence a hundred thousand years ago, famous throughout the Chaos Sea.
A hundred thousand years had passed. Logically, as long as he hadn't regressed, reaching this step wasn't impossible. After all, given the various displays of the strongest prodigious talent of all time that Ye Chen had shown back then, he indeed had the qualification.
But speculation was one thing; actually witnessing it was another.
A colossus from antiquity—that was an ultimate forbidden existence that an entire epoch of the Chaos Sea might not produce even a few of. Often, across more epochal eras, not even one or two might be born.
Moreover, the birth of many colossi from antiquity didn't come from those prodigiously talented geniuses. Even those supreme geniuses who walked the Eternal Path—the number who truly made the final leap and succeeded was actually very few, countable across the Ten Thousand Ancient epochs.
More colossi from antiquity became Supreme Ones after attaining the Dao, then relied on endless time, passing through epoch after epoch, constantly accumulating and deepening, becoming Quasi-Giants, and then finally becoming colossi from antiquity.
But how long had Ye Chen cultivated?
The time known to the world was only a hundred and thirty thousand years. Shen Rong knew Ye Chen had cultivated for a hundred thousand years in a time-accelerated Immortal King grotto.
Even so, at most, it was over two hundred thousand years—a completely negligible sliver of time in the context of an entire epoch.
Yet Ye Chen, in just over two hundred thousand years, had become a Supreme Giant, a forbidden existence like a colossus from antiquity.
How prodigious! How earth-shattering!
After attaining the Dao and becoming a Supreme One, Shen Rong had believed he could catch up to Ye Chen's footsteps. At the very least, he was confident he would become a colossus from antiquity in the future. But upon meeting again, while he had progressed, Ye Chen had also advanced, and at a shocking speed. By now, he had become a Supreme Giant whom all the Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants of the heavens had to look up to.
At this moment, he revealed a bitter smile, feeling deeply powerless.afraid, for his entire life, he would never be able to catch up!
Yet he also feltgrateful.
In their peer competition, he had lost, and Ye Chen had won, becoming a colossus from antiquity. But for the entire Pangu Universe, this was a great blessing.
With such a young and powerful Supreme Giant standing guard, things would be much more stable. Even during this Blood-Stained Epoch, it would be enough to make many colossi from antiquity quite wary, not daring to easily take action against them.
At this time, Ye Chen was wantonly releasing his own Supreme Giant might, piercing through past and present, terrifying and immeasurable.
The River of Time was about to manifest in the Chaos Sea, but with a sweep of his gaze, the River of Time retreated.
Simultaneously, the forbidden divine abilities of the five Supreme Ones descended in full force.
This was a terrifying strike that would kill gods if they blocked it and slay buddhas if they stood in its way—one that could make even a Quasi-Giant avoid itsedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat).
Ye Chen simply threw a punch.
The five Supreme forbidden divine abilities, which could affect the River of Time, directly disintegrated.
It was like adimensional reduction attack, a complete and thoroughcrushing from above, unstoppable.
Shen Rong watched in awe. If he were to withstand it, only destruction awaited.
This was the might of a Supreme Giant. A joint strike of Supreme forbidden divine abilities was nothing more than this—easily withstood.
Ye Chen swept his gaze over the five Supreme Ones of the alien faction. His eyes were like heavenly thunder; wherever they passed, everything exploded. The five Supreme Ones facing him groaned, blood coughing from the corners of their mouths, their Emperor Souls suffering a terrifying impact.
Too terrifying!
Just a gaze was thisfearsome / terrifying. It was unimaginable how astonishing a real battle would be.
They were completely in different leagues.
"Escape!"
The Alien Emperor urgently said. Facing a Supreme Giant, not to mention just five Supreme Ones, even ten more would hardly be a match.
The only plan now was to flee!
Without a second thought, the five Supreme Ones turned and fled like lightning, their figures faster than thunder, faster than light, splitting up to escape.
Theywas deeply aware / knew well that staying together meant certain death; splitting up offered a sliver of hope for survival.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled disdainfully: "Escape? Do you really think you can escape from before me?"
