Moreover, that was no ordinary Quasi-Giant!
An Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant!
Having once been an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant himself, he naturally sensed the terrifying nature of this strike. It was not from a colossus from antiquity, yet it was not inferior by much. It was definitely not something an ordinary Quasi-Giant could unleash.
More importantly, this strike left no trace behind, with only a faint remnant lingering in the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant's brow.
All of this served as proof of the fearsome power of that Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant who had struck all those years ago.
Throughout the ages of the Chaos Sea, the number of Extreme Realm Quasi-Giants born could be counted on one's fingers. He had been one, War Emperor was one, and the Human Emperor's former incarnation, Reincarnation Great Emperor, was another.
To his knowledge, there were three. As for the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giants of the past, they had either perished or had not appeared for multiple epochs.
During the hundred thousand years of the Blood-Stained Epoch, there was actually still an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant alive, and one who had emerged.
"This trace... it feels familiar. I remember now, it's the Fate Emperor's mark!"
A flash of insight crossed Ye Chen's eyes as he immediately recalled. It was the alien Fate Emperor.
He hadn't expected that the alien leader Fate Emperor, whom he had encountered in the Primordial Immortal World back then, though not a colossus from antiquity, was actually an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant. He had struck tens of thousands of years ago, delivering a fatal blow to this Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant.
"The alien races truly hide their depths well, to still have an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant in existence. But then again, they are, after all, the strongest Chaos Ancient Universe capable of rivaling the Primordial Immortal World," Ye Chen mused to himself.
Yet, he was also somewhat puzzled. Tens of thousands of years ago, why had the Fate Emperor struck and killed this Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant?
He sensed that back then, the Fate Emperor had merely unleashed his strongest attack to assassinate the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant. However, the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant's remains were largely intact—his Immortal Emperor Body, his supreme battle weapon, and his origin world were all still present.
Only his Quasi-Giant level origin had vanished.
Ye Chen was somewhat perplexed. Why had the Fate Emperor only plundered the Quasi-Giant level origin? Why had he not taken the equally valuable Quasi-Giant body, Dao weapons, and origin world?
At that moment, he sensed the aura of the Angel Imperial Son, right within the body of the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant.
However, even though the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant had perished, one could not easily approach. A projection of his origin world emanated from his form, along with an extremely terrifying killing intent that permeated the area. Even a Supreme One would not dare approach lightly.
Moreover, Ye Chen sensed that within this killing intent lurked an absolutely dreadful Emperor Curse.
This Emperor Curse was even more fearsome than the killing intent. Anyone who dared approach would inevitably be attacked by it.
This was an Emperor Curse unleashed by a Quasi-Giant before death, far more terrifying than one cast under normal circumstances. It could even curse and kill a Quasi-Giant.
No wonder, after the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant perished all those years ago, his remains and origin great world had remained here, untouched.
Of course, this posed no obstacle to Ye Chen's approach. He directly approached with his true body. All Quasi-Giant level killing intent that drew near naturally dissipated into nothingness, suppressed instead.
As for the Emperor Curse, it was similarly suppressed.
As a Chaos Giant, Ye Chen had plenty of methods to resolve it, but he did not do so, choosing to leave it in place.
"You all come in as well."
Ye Chen opened a relatively stable passageway. Due to his presence, all killing intent naturally receded.
The three Supreme Ones—Shen Rong, Ye Cangqiong, and the Tianhe Zhizun—followed behind him, smoothly arriving within the great world inside the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant's body.
The Quasi-Giant level great world was still relatively intact, not having collapsed, but it appeared desolate, having suffered greatly during the ancient battle.
At the center of the great world, they saw a figure brimming with Primordial Holy Light, seated cross-legged at the world's origin. It was none other than the Angel Imperial Son.
Behind him, eighteen wings were spread, also flowing with supreme and majestic Primordial Holy Light, even mingled with traces of Sacred Emperor Light, resonating with the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant.
Everyone could feel that at this moment, the Angel Imperial Son's aura was gradually growing stronger. He was transcending the Emperor Realm, advancing towards the Supreme Emperor Realm. Clearly, he was also on the verge of successfully attaining the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor.
Their appearance naturally startled the Angel Imperial Son. Opening his eyes, he was first taken aback, but upon seeing Shen Rong and Ye Cangqiong, he was overjoyed. "Brother Cangqiong, Brother Shen Rong, you've both attained the Dao to become Supreme Emperors!"
Shen Rong and Ye Cangqiong smiled faintly and nodded in affirmation.
"And these two are?" The Angel Imperial Son looked at Ye Chen and the Tianhe Zhizun.
His gaze especially lingered on Ye Chen. He felt a sense of familiarity, but clearly sensed that he was extraordinary. Although he also seemed to be a Supreme One, it was evident that the Tianhe Zhizun regarded this unfamiliar, heroic young man with exceptional reverence, like a subordinate beholding a superior.
One must know, this person was a bona fide Supreme One, yet he showed such reverence towards another.
Just who was this?
"Long time no see," Ye Chen smiled, taking the initiative to greet him.
The Angel Imperial Son was stunned. Long time no see?
Shen Rong also laughed. "He's Ye Chen. This guy has returned."
The Angel Imperial Son suddenly understood, both shocked and delighted. He laughed heartily, "You finally decided to come back, you rascal!"
After a separation of a hundred thousand years, he had finally returned.
Ye Chen instantly appeared before him, but the Angel Imperial Son hurriedly stopped him from coming closer. "Brother Ye, don't come any closer. I am currently receiving my ancestor's legacy. I am protected by my ancestor's origin Dao Blood. This is Quasi-Giant level Dao Blood, containing my ancestor's strongest Quasi-Giant level Emperor Curse. If you approach, it will trigger the corresponding Emperor Curse. You would be in great danger."
Even if Ye Chen was also a Quasi-Giant after a hundred thousand years apart, he could still be harmed.
"No need to worry."
Ye Chen smiled and directly approached. Under the Angel Imperial Son's astonished gaze, it was clearly visible that the Quasi-Giant Great Dao Essence Blood enveloping him was retreating. Even the most terrifying Quasi-Giant level Emperor Curse killing intent was suppressed, not erupting.
This scene left him utterly dumbfounded.
The Angel Imperial Son was of the Angel Imperial Clan, a descendant of the Angel God Emperor, inheriting the pure and flawless supreme bloodline of the Angel Race. Moreover, he was closely related to this Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant, which was why he received the protection of the Great Dao Essence Blood and was not attacked.
But what virtue or ability did Ye Chen possess? Even if he were a Quasi-Giant, it shouldn't be like this.
Ye Cangqiong said helplessly, "You don't know. This guy is now a true colossus from antiquity."
"A colossus from antiquity?!" The Angel Imperial Son's jaw dropped, filled with shock. After a hundred thousand years apart, he had actually become a colossus from antiquity?
Good heavens, what kind of heaven-defying cultivation speed was this?
Ye Chen drew closer for a look, sensing that the Angel Imperial Son was indeed receiving the Great Dao legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant, and the progress had already exceeded ninety percent. He would attain the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor any day now. The opportunity he had obtained was even more bountiful than that of Shen Rong and Ye Cangqiong.
The latter two had only been fortunate enough to obtain a Supreme Emperor's corpse, coupled with their own accumulated foundations, to successfully attain the Dao to become Supreme Emperors.
The Angel Imperial Son, however, had directly obtained a Quasi-Giant's remains, and one from the same origin lineage—an Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant. This made it easier for him to receive the related Great Dao legacy. Moreover, the Quasi-Giant's remains and origin great world were preserved relatively intact. In the future, not only would he be able to successfully attain the Dao to become a Supreme Emperor, but he also had a high chance of becoming a Quasi-Giant.
It was evident that the Angel Imperial Son was also a figure ofdefying heaven / heaven-defyingdefying fate.
