Tens of thousands of years ago, during the most terrifying great war, the alien Giants once broke into the Pangu Universe, plunging the entire cosmos into unprecedented crisis. Even with the Cang Xiong Great Heavenly Venerate blocking them, the Formless Monarch also fully awakened from his seclusion. Clad in the Chaos Immortal Armor and fused with the Heavenly Dao Sun, he underwent Extreme Sublimation and engaged in close-quarters combat with the alien Giants.
Later, the Heavenly Dao Sun collapsed into ruin. The Formless Monarch was severely wounded and on the brink of death, and the Chaos Immortal Armor was also shattered into pieces during that battle, utterly destroyed.
The current Chaos Immortal Armor is merely a version patched up later by the Supreme Ones of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion lineage. It appears fully repaired on the surface, but in reality, its inner divine spirit has fallen into permanent slumber, and its infinite Chaos Dao patterns have been extinguished. All that remains is a hard suit of armor devoid of any spirituality.
Ye Chen held the Chaos Immortal Armor, murmuring, "My true body is indestructible, but my Dharma Body is not. I need to forge a suit of indestructible battle armor for it. Only when paired with the Dharma Body can it unleash even greater combat power."
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
At this moment, he took out a terrifying suit of armor, far surpassing the Chaos Immortal Armor, one that even the Chaos Immortal Armor at its peak could not compare to.
Because this was a Giant-level suit of armor, also known as a Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon, belonging to the Silent Abyss Sovereign. After being cleaved apart in the River of Time, he had been unable to retrieve it. Naturally, Ye Chen did not miss the opportunity and seized it.
Now, he intended to elevate the Chaos Immortal Armor by a major realm, raising it to the level of a Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon. But this required an infinite amount of rare immortal materials.
Although Ye Chen was wealthy, forging a suit of Giant-level armor would likely exhaust all his resources.
Ultimately, he still could not compare to those supreme Giants who had accumulated wealth across multiple epochs.
Fortunately, forging armor was not the same as forging a primary weapon.
The function of armor was more about defense than offense.
The Giant-level armor of the Silent Abyss Sovereign before him was even better.
Ye Chen planned to dissolve this Giant armor and use it to elevate the Chaos Immortal Armor through Extreme Sublimation, transforming it into a true Giant-level suit of armor.
*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Ye Chen made his move, unleashing the combat power of a Chaos Giant. He completely shattered the Giant-level armor, then summoned Chaos Source Fire at the Giant level. Spending a great deal of time, he thoroughly dissolved the armor and fused it together with the Chaos Immortal Armor.
All the scars on the Chaos Immortal Armor were repaired, and it became even harder and more indestructible.
Ye Chen imprinted infinite Chaos runes into the Chaos Immortal Armor, causing this immortal armor to surpass its former self.
After a full century of effort, the Chaos Immortal Armor was successfully forged.
Generally speaking, even a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant would need hundreds of thousands of years or more to forge a Giant-level suit of armor. But Ye Chen had merely melted down a true Giant armor into the Chaos Immortal Armor, thus saving a great deal of time.
Even so, it still took over a century to truly complete the forging.
The moment the Chaos Immortal Armor was successfully forged, it erupted with dazzling rays of immortal light, illuminating the Ten Thousand Ancient Heavens and shaking the entire great universe—a truly astonishing sight.
However, no heavenly tribulation descended.
Ye Chen frowned. "Is it because the Heavenly Dao is still repairing itself, so it cannot summon a tribulation, or is there another reason?"
Regardless, the Chaos Immortal Armor could barely be considered to have reached the level of a Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon, capable of withstanding attacks from Ten Thousand Ancient Giants.
Of course, if possible, he still hoped the Chaos Immortal Armor could undergo the baptism of heavenly tribulation. Only then could it truly undergo metamorphosis and become a peerless Dao Weapon, indestructible through ten thousand calamities.
After completing all this, the Chaos Immortal Armor merged into his body.
Although his Chaos Saint Body was in no way inferior to a Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon—indestructible and imperishable—the current state of the Chaos Sea was far too dangerous. The Chaos Immortal Armor could provide some defense at critical moments.
On another front, he spent several centuries refining the corpses of the slain Supreme Emperors into puppets, integrating them into the Sealing Gate and causing them to undergo Extreme Sublimation, becoming even more powerful.
Unfortunately, no heavenly tribulation descended this time either.
Finally, Ye Chen took out the Chaos Great Cauldron.
Inside the cauldron, the Silent Abyss Sovereign was still suppressed.
His gaze fell upon the inner world within the Chaos Great Cauldron. Seeing the entire vast inner world continuously collapsing, he couldn't help but frown.
He was strong enough to defeat Ten Thousand Ancient Giants, even shatter them, but that did not necessarily mean he could kill them.
Those who could become Ten Thousand Ancient Giants were, throughout the ages, invincible beings who dominated an epoch across the Chaos Sea. The appearance of any one of them would cause all the geniuses of an entire epoch in the Chaos Sea to pale in comparison.
The fact that they could reach this step spoke volumes.
Ye Chen had no confidence that he could kill the Silent Abyss Sovereign.
But suppressing him indefinitely was not a solution either.
If possible, he did hope to kill the Silent Abyss Sovereign.
The Human Sovereign had said it was permissible to kill him.
That meant the Silent Abyss Sovereign could be killed!
During this period, the Silent Abyss Sovereign had naturally attempted to break out of the Chaos Great Cauldron. However, to his dismay, even a powerful Ten Thousand Ancient Giant like himself was unable to break free from the cauldron's suppression.
He had a peculiar feeling—what was suppressing him was not merely this Chaos Great Cauldron, which had become a Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon, but something more akin to an unimaginably vast world, like an Upper Realm, or even an Ancient Chaos Universe bearing down on him, making it impossible for him to break free.
Knowing that success was truly difficult, the Silent Abyss Sovereign gave up. He sat cross-legged inside the cauldron, resting and recuperating, striving to recover sooner and regain greater strength to break the suppression of the Chaos Great Cauldron.
At this moment, sensing Ye Chen's gaze, he said solemnly, "Battle Saint King, release this Sovereign. If you are willing to let this Sovereign out, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that all past grievances will be forgotten."
Hearing this, Ye Chen sneered coldly. "Forgotten? You are merely a prisoner. What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?"
Even if past grievances were forgotten, he would not release him.
The secret of Qingtian Dadi absolutely must not be leaked.
A prisoner?
The Silent Abyss Sovereign's expression turned ugly. He, a supreme Giant of the alien race, an invincible existence overlooking countless epochs—when had he ever suffered such immense humiliation, becoming a prisoner?
Yet, in his current situation, how much difference was there from being a true prisoner?
He, the Silent Abyss Sovereign, was suppressed here by the Battle Saint King, unable to escape.
The Silent Abyss Sovereign said coldly, "Battle Saint King, it is not this Sovereign begging you to release me, but you who must release me. Perhaps in the short term, you can suppress me. But my Ancient Universe will never allow a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant to be in mortal danger. If you persist, it will not be good for your Pangu Universe. It might even bring about catastrophic disaster upon the Pangu Universe."
"Is that so? This Sovereign looks forward to it."
Ye Chen sneered. Such threats were useless. The Primordial Immortal Realm would not stand idly by; the Immortal Kings would intervene.
Otherwise, the alien forces would not have retreated that day.
Although he could not truly kill the Silent Abyss Sovereign at the moment, this was his home ground.
His figure flashed. He transformed into his Chaos Giant form and the spirit of the Chaos Emperor Lord, merging the three—himself, the Giant form, and the Emperor Lord spirit—into one. He directly attacked the Silent Abyss Sovereign.
Without a doubt, it was a one-sided affair.
*Boom!*
The Chaos Great Cauldron trembled violently, its inner world nearly exploding.
Amidst the Silent Abyss Sovereign's furious roars, he was forcefully shattered. His warblade was broken several times before being seized and suppressed.
Before leaving, Ye Chen said coldly, "Consider this warblade as interest for the monstrous crimes you have committed against the Pangu Universe."
