"Young friend, you should leave now. Any delay may invite unforeseen changes!"
Qingtian Dadi spoke as countless fragments of time swirled around them, accelerated so that their recent conversation, which seemed lengthy, had actually been completed in an instant.
He could shield Ye Chen for a period, but not forever. If it lasted too long, major problems would inevitably arise.
In the past, Qingtian Dadi had infiltrated the Alien Ancient Universe under a false identity, becoming one of them. Though he was merely a spy, only the major powers of the Pangu Universe and a significant portion of its core Great Emperors truly knew this.
He absolutely could not easily intervene to provide cover, otherwise even he would easily face grave consequences.
Ye Chen performed a deep bow of respect. "This junior understands. I shall depart immediately. Senior, please take care of yourself."
Although there were many more things he wished to ask Qingtian Dadi, matters involving ancient secrets that only an ancient Supreme Giant like him would know, he also knew there was no time now.
Whoosh—
He tore through space to leave.
Just as the space-time passageway was closing, he suddenly heard a sigh from Qingtian Dadi: "If you ever encounter the Six Paths Great Emperor in the future..."
Ye Chen was startled, but it was too late. He could not turn back, arriving once more at the frontier lands of the alien race.
At this moment, within the origin land of the Alien Ancient Universe, in the eternal, immortal ancestral temples that had endured since time immemorial, an ancient colossus stirred from slumber, opening its eyes to peer across half of the Chaos Ancient Domain. A murmur echoed forth: "How strange. Why do I sense a faint premonition of something amiss?"
As an ancient colossus, it was utterly perceptive, even capable of traversing time and space, virtually omnipotent.
Yet, when it swept its senses across the entire Chaos Ancient Universe, everything seemed normal.
"Could it be some error from my secluded meditation and enlightenment, causing a misperception?" The alien colossus shook its head and sank back into its state of enlightenment.
In the distant void, Qingtian Dadi let out a soft sigh. "For now, I can only buy you some time. You must be careful."
Arriving at the universe's frontier, Ye Chen was about to leave.
Suddenly, his figure halted. He had abruptly spotted, amidst the shattered frontier lands, a solitary ancient colossus sitting in meditation, emanating a terrifying aura of myriad extinguished Daos.
The terrifying aura of the colossus wantonly rippled out, affecting vast stretches of the cosmic starry sky, to the point where even beings in the central domains of the universe could vaguely sense it.
Clearly having also sensed the fluctuations of the space-time passageway, the alien Supreme Giant hidden beneath endless laws on the shattered frontier shot out two piercing beams of light from its eyes. Its voice shook a small half of the universe's domains, rumbling and startling all directions: "Are you the human powerhouse who intruded into our Ancient Universe?"
Ye Chen did not reply. He perceived that indeed only this alien colossus was present at the frontier.
He had originally intended to leave, but at this moment, a sliver of killing intent arose within him.
Before leaving, why not suppress and kill an alien Supreme Giant?
Undoubtedly, this was a great opportunity. A lone target, perfect for execution.
As the saying goes, great skill breeds great daring. If it were an ordinary person, they would let it be. Even other ancient colossi would harbor apprehension, wishing to flee the Alien Ancient Universe as soon as possible.
After all, this place was ultimately the alien race's lair. The Alien Ancient Universe was too powerful, housing multiple ancient colossi. The slightest misstep, and if other Supreme Giants arrived, he would surely perish here.
It was only Ye Chen's great skill that bred such daring. On the other hand, it was also his youthful vigor—merely over two hundred thousand years old, far too young compared to other ancient colossi in this realm. His vitality remained, granting him this courage.
Boom—
Boundless chaos flooded this vast frontier domain, spreading across countless star domains.
Heavenly secrets were shielded!
Within this vast, endless expanse of cosmic starry sky, no one from the outside could perceive it. Such was the power of a Supreme Giant.
The alien Supreme Giant clearly also detected Ye Chen's intent. Suddenly, the cosmic starry space grew countless times colder. "Your courage is truly not small. At this moment, a trapped beast, yet you still covet this one. Truly laughable. I don't know whether to call you audacious or foolish. Very well, today this one will make you understand what it means to be out of your depth, never to attain transcendence for all eternity!"
Boom—
With a single thought from the Supreme Giant, space shattered, summoning billions of stars, all ignited, transforming into the most brilliant shower of sparks, madly crashing towards Ye Chen.
These were not ordinary stars, but Great Dao Stars, condensed by the Supreme Giant from the Great Dao, encompassing the myriad Daos of the heavens, terrifying and boundless.
One could say that even a Quasi-Giant struck by them would only face the path of falling.
"Petty tricks!"
Ye Chen sneered coldly. With a snap of his fingers, the stars shifted, the starry sky was massively displaced, and everything changed.
All the burning Great Dao Stars vanished in an instant, gone without a trace.
This was the means of a Supreme Giant—with a single thought, condensing billions of Great Dao Stars; with a snap of the fingers, displacing the cosmos and heavens.
Every movement contained unfathomable, immeasurable might.
The alien Supreme Giant's expression remained unchanged. If Ye Chen couldn't even manage this, how could he be considered an ancient colossus on par with him?
"My turn!"
As Ye Chen stepped forward, the aura around him surged layer by layer, shaking the cosmic starry sky of this vast region, not the least bit inferior to his opponent. Clenching a fist seal, he brought it crashing down.
When a colossus made a move, every action contained immense principles of heaven and earth, laws of the Great Dao.
He was the law. He was the Dao.
Myriad Daos paid homage, myriad methods bowed to him as master, powerful and boundless.
Originally, the Alien Ancient Universe was not Ye Chen'shome ground / domain of advantage, but he was a Chaos Controller. All things in the world were born from chaos, and the Alien Ancient Universe was no exception. Therefore, even the origin of the Alien Ancient Universe could not impose any suppression on him.
Under this fist, this expanse of cosmic starry sky directly exploded into dust as he struck forward.
The alien Supreme Giant's expression shifted slightly, sensing Ye Chen's fearsomeness—he was actually a Supreme Giant, and a Chaos Controller at that.
Immediately, his face changed. "Are you Tai Sheng Huang?"
Throughout the ages, aside from Tai Sheng Huang, who else could cultivate the Chaos Great Dao to this level?
Tai Sheng Huang was a powerhouse among ancient colossi, an existence akin to a Primordial Colossus, incomparably powerful. If he personally came, though this one was strong, he was no match for such a Primordial Colossus.
Boom—
Naturally, as an ancient colossus, he possessed an invincible belief capable of suppressing all past and present. Even knowing Tai Sheng Huang was powerful, he still felt no fear. He summoned forth his colossus battle armor, directly reviving it fully.
Clang, clang, clang—
Clearly visible, a peerless battle armor manifested on the surface of the alien Supreme Giant's body, covering him entirely, including eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, leaving not a single spot exposed, armed to the extreme.
The armor was pitch black like ink, not simply made of Abyssal Black Gold, but forged by melting other peerless immortal materials, with Abyssal Black Gold as the primary component,firm and indestructible. As it erupted now, the cosmic starry sky directly fell into extinction, revealing an immensely vast spatial abyss.
