"Good."
Ye Chen naturally couldn't refuse. Though concerned about the Pangu Universe's situation, since they were passing by anyway, spending a little extra time wasn't out of the question.
Especially since the Human Imperial Son Ye Cangqiong was still there. He and Ye Chen came from the same Imperial Clan, both were human. He couldn't just stand by and watch them perish.
Shen Rong provided the coordinates. Ye Chen glanced at them, then immediately took the former along. The Chaos Great Dao manifested, piercing through time and space, breaking into the Chaos Sea as they shot towards the Tianhe Da Shijie at an astonishing speed.
The Tianhe Da Shijie was a Chaos Primordial Great World located in the core territory of the Chaos Sea. Because the Tianhe Zhizun had attained the Dao and become an Emperor, it held some renown within the Chaos Sea.
In times of peace, as a Chaos Primordial Great World with a true Supreme One Emperor personally overseeing it, even other Supreme Ones wouldn't dare to invade such a world lightly.
But at this moment, the Tianhe Da Shijie was in turmoil. Clearly visible, an extremely terrifying, peerless might was rampaging wildly within this Chaos Primordial Great World, occasionally piercing through the Great World's barrier. The Chaos Sea itself could feel the horrifying battle occurring inside.
Through occasional fragments of time, one could glimpse the collapsing starry sky within the Tianhe Da Shijie, with myriads of stars perishing. Supercontinents were crumbling, time and space were in chaos—a truly terrifying sight.
Boom—
Suddenly, boundless bloody light shot into the sky, piercing the world barrier and illuminating the outside. The Chaos Sea itself seemed dyed red.
Two Supreme One Emperor figures could be seen being violently blasted out of the Tianhe Da Shijie, stirring the Chaos Sea and raising towering waves.
Both Supreme Ones had blood at the corners of their mouths, their Emperor bodies bearing injuries. They looked somewhat grimly at the Supreme One Emperor who strode out from within the Tianhe Da Shijie, treading upon a sky-reaching long river. The Supreme One clad in golden battle armor said, "I didn't expect you, Tianhe Zhizun, to still have some tricks up your sleeve. Relying on this Chaos Primordial Great World as your home ground, even I find it difficult to do much to you for the time being."
They were Supreme Ones from the alien race side. Because of the home ground advantage, they had suffered a setback.
Although the Tianhe Zhizun had repelled them, he was also covered in blood, clearly having paid a price. After all, when it came down to it, his opponents were also true Great Perfection Emperor Realm Supreme Ones, their strength not the slightest bit weaker.
If not for relying on the Tianhe Da Shijie as his home ground, which suppressed external Supreme Ones and amplified his own power, repelling them wouldn't have been so easy.
But even so, the actual effect wasn't that significant.
At the Supreme One level, it could be said that all methods and all Daos returned to one. They didn't need to rely on the external world, but on themselves. The help the external world could provide was actually not much, with limited effect.
Moreover, within the Tianhe Da Shijie, the Tianhe Zhizun couldn't unleash his full power. He needed to split his attention to care for the myriad beings within the world, avoiding the spread of the Supreme One battle's aftermath.
The Tianhe Zhizun naturally didn't wish to continue the Supreme One battle. Proceeding like this would inevitably bring a terrifying, catastrophic disaster upon the entire Tianhe Da Shijie.
Furthermore, within the Great World, although the newly-advanced Supreme One Shen Rong had left, there was actually another human supreme expert currently at the critical stage of attesting to the Dao and becoming a Supreme One.
The battle of three Supreme Ones would have a massive impact on him.
Thinking of this, the Tianhe Zhizun frowned and proposed, "Fellow Daoists, as you can see, within the Tianhe Da Shijie, you are not this Emperor's match. If you truly wish to continue fighting, even if this Emperor suffers some losses, I can still rely on the Tianhe Da Shijie to replenish them continuously. But you cannot do the same. Even if you refine chaos energy, you cannot recover instantly. Prolonging this, you still cannot achieve victory. Why not withdraw now? This Emperor can let bygones be bygones."
The golden-clad Supreme One from the alien side wiped the blood from his mouth and said gravely, "Tianhe Zhizun, although you have the home ground advantage with the Tianhe Da Shijie, don't forget there are two of us. Your home ground advantage can only be fully utilized within the Tianhe Da Shijie. How much of it can you exert in the Chaos Sea? Moreover, since you dared to shelter a human Supreme One from the Pangu Universe attesting to the Dao within your Tianhe Da Shijie, your courage is quite considerable. Do you truly not know that the human race is what the alien Ancient Universes need to exterminate now? By sheltering them, you are opposing the entire alien Ancient Universe alliance."
"Do you really think the measly Pangu Universe can protect the safety of your Tianhe Da Shijie? The Pangu Universe can't even protect itself."
"Looking at the time, that newly-advanced human Supreme One, under the pursuit of our five Supreme Ones, must have already perished. Very well, this Emperor will summon the other Supreme Ones back to jointly annihilate the Tianhe Da Shijie."
Boom—
As his words fell, a brilliant Supreme One beam shot from the crown of this alien Supreme One's head, vanishing into the Chaos Sea.
That was Emperor Soul communication, a Supreme One-level method that could ignore the obstruction of time and space, notifying other Supreme Ones instantly.
The Tianhe Zhizun's expression changed. If he really let all the other Supreme Ones come, forget the Tianhe Da Shijie, even he would undoubtedly die.
At the same time, the golden-clad Supreme One said to the black-clad Supreme One beside him, "Cang Sui, let's attack together now. Although the Tianhe Da Shijie is still here, killing him might be difficult, but we can first shatter the Tianhe Da Shijie, then kill him. At the very least, we can pin him down. When the other Fellow Daoist Supreme Ones return, even if the Tianhe Zhizun is a Quasi-Giant, he will surely die."
"Good," said the black-clad Supreme One named Cang Sui, his body radiating supreme and majestic Supreme One might.
The Tianhe Zhizun's brow furrowed deeply. He glanced back at the vast, immense Tianhe Da Shijie. That was his homeland, containing the traces of his entire life, the home he was willing to sacrifice everything to protect.
Since these two Supreme Ones were willing to go to any lengths, then he, the Tianhe Zhizun, would make them understand that dealing with him would also require paying a bloody price.
The golden-clad Supreme One and the black-clad Supreme One transformed into pitch-black lightning, charging towards the Tianhe Zhizun.
The golden-clad Supreme One engaged the Tianhe Zhizun, while the black-clad Cang Sui launched an assault on the Tianhe Da Shijie.
"Get away from there!"
How could the Tianhe Zhizun allow Cang Sui to attack the Tianhe Da Shijie? With a great shout, he immediately mobilized boundless Supreme One might, shifting the Supreme One battlefield to Cang Sui's location, intending to fight two alone.
"Hmph, with just you, it's still difficult to fight one against two," Cang Sui sneered coldly.
The terrifying Supreme One battle erupted again. Before long, the Tianhe Zhizun's figure was forced into a rapid retreat, Emperor blood spraying.
Sure enough, as the golden-clad Supreme One had said, the Tianhe Zhizun in the Chaos Sea was far from possessing the sufficient home ground advantage he had within the Tianhe Da Shijie. He was forced back step by step.
Cang Sui turned and charged towards another side of the Tianhe Da Shijie, gathering terrifying Supreme One power to bombard the world.
Boom—
The Tianhe Da Shijie shook violently. The world barrier trembled, developing numerous cracks.
Supreme Ones were too powerful. Even though a Chaos Primordial Great World was stronger and more enduring than an ordinary Supreme One's Great World, it still couldn't withstand such force.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each attack, the Tianhe Da Shijie's world barrier developed terrifying fissures.
Finally, after over a dozen Supreme One attacks, a massive hole was blasted through the Tianhe Da Shijie, the world barrier completely pierced.
Cang Sui gave a cold smile. At this moment, he prepared to unleash an Emperor Dao divine ability, blasting it inside.
Boom—
But right then, boundless tribulation light suddenly descended from the sky above the Chaos Sea.
A terrifying might permeated the surroundings, causing Cang Sui's heart to shudder. He withdrew his Emperor Dao divine ability; otherwise, it would easily be sensed by the heavenly tribulation, attracting the corresponding Emperor Tribulation.
"Who is it? Actually undergoing a tribulation?"
Cang Sui frowned. The other two Supreme Ones were also stunned.
The Tianhe Zhizun's expression showed a hint of joy. "Could it be young friend Ye Cangqiong? Has he succeeded in impacting the Emperor Realm, smoothly attesting to the Dao and becoming an Emperor?"
Boom—
The heavenly tribulation was boundless, containing the terrifying aura of the Supreme One Emperor Realm. It radiated across an unknown number of billions of li of chaotic territory, astonishingly vast, as if enveloping the entire Tianhe Da Shijie.
A slender figure shot out. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a heroic bearing bursting forth, with a powerful sword Dao aura radiating from his body, his sharpness peerless.
That was Ye Cangqiong. He strode forth, bathed in the blazing Emperor Tribulation, undergoing the tribulation baptism.
Once the tribulation was complete, he would have truly attested to the Dao and become an Emperor!
"Damn it, this junior has actually attested to the Dao to become a Supreme One, and has hope of succeeding. He can move freely with the Emperor Tribulation. Although this Emperor does not fear this tribulation, rashly enduring it would still be troublesome, adding complications," Cang Sui frowned. The area covered by the Emperor Tribulation was too vast. The entire Tianhe Da Shijie was encompassed within it, yet not truly submerged by the heavenly tribulation.
Thus, attacking the Tianhe Da Shijie would also mean enduring attacks from the Emperor Tribulation.
This was something he was unwilling to see.
After his initial joy, the Tianhe Zhizun also understood the final outcome. He sent a mental message: "Young friend, you don't need to stay. Leave immediately. They have already summoned the other five Supreme Ones back. If you remain here, you will certainly be in great danger."
Ye Cangqiong was undergoing the tribulation. Billions of towering sword qi manifested around him, shattering the tribulation light as he bathed in the Emperor Tribulation's baptism. Emperor blood sprayed, but he was also growing stronger.
Hearing the Tianhe Zhizun's words, he understood his meaning and shook his head. "Senior Tianhe, the Tianhe Da Shijie is being targeted by these Supreme Ones precisely because of me and Shen Rong. How can I leave with a clear conscience? Today, I shall stay and fight to the end alongside you, Senior. Even if I ultimately perish, I must repay your kindness."
He couldn't bring himself to flee at such a critical moment. Besides, the Tianhe Da Shijie was originally innocent. If not for him and Shen Rong, it would never have been attacked by two Supreme Ones, let alone invaded.
No matter what, he could not escape at the moment of battle!
Boom—
Suddenly, the Chaos Sea exploded. A terrifying existence was descending.
Ye Cangqiong's expression changed. Had the alien Supreme Ones returned so quickly? Did that mean Shen Rong's situation was dire?
The golden-clad Supreme One laughed heartily, with a hint of grimness. "As expected, they have already killed that newly-advanced human Supreme One and have returned. Tianhe Zhizun, let this Emperor see how you can still stop our group of Supreme Ones."
The Tianhe Zhizun's face turned ugly. He tightened his grip on his Supreme One Emperor weapon. At this moment, a trace of despair also surfaced in his heart.
Was the Tianhe Da Shijie, and he himself, truly about to be destroyed?
