"You dare use my Dao blood to nourish a Dao weapon."
The colossus from antiquity who had struck from the shadows snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Ye Chen's actions.
"More than just nourishing it," Ye Chen said coldly. He reached out and grasped the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd. This peerless war weapon, born for battle, erupted with unprecedented combat might under his grip, shaking the Ten Thousand Ancient Times as he brought it cleaving down.
Boom—
The heavenly tribulation, which had been nearing its end, shattered in massive swathes.
Pfft—
The ancient, unadorned great hand was directly severed, accompanied by boundless bloody light that annihilated countless billions of miles of the Chaos Sea. The heavenly tribulation also disintegrated significantly.
Gasps erupted from all sides. Ye Chen had actually severed a hand of a colossus from antiquity!
The vast amount of Giant's Dao blood that spilled down did not scatter. Instead, it rapidly reversed its flow, preparing to return to the severed hand.
But the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd shot through the air like a primordial dragon, violently and savagely absorbing all of the Ten Thousand Ancient Dao blood.
Having drunk even more Giant's Dao blood, the halberd emitted an even more terrifying ferocious aura, humming and vibrating as if it could pierce through the myriad heavens of antiquity.
Swish—
The colossus from antiquity grunted, having suffered a great loss. A desire to retreat arose in its heart, and it immediately summoned its severed hand to leave.
But how could Ye Chen let it have its way? The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd directly pierced through the ancient hand, pinning it in the Chaos Sea and preventing its escape.
Since it dared to covet his things, it had to pay the due price—even a colossus from antiquity was no exception.
"Saint King of Battle, what is the meaning of this? Do you truly wish to make a complete enemy of me?" the hidden colossus from antiquity roared, its voice filled with chill intent.
"Make a complete enemy?" Ye Chen looked coldly in a certain direction, his tone domineering. "Do you dare to be my enemy?"
Dominant!
All sides fell silent.
What a Saint King of Battle! The single phrase, 'Do you dare to be my enemy?' was truly peerlessly domineering.
That colossus from antiquity was also choked with speech, both furious and deeply apprehensive.
Because this was not merely a supreme Giant, but also a madman-like forbidden terror who dared to invade the Alien Ancient Universe alone, suppress the Silent Abyss Sovereign, and retreat unscathed. His fearsome reputation had long since spread far and wide across the Chaos Sea.
Making an enemy of such a person was simply seeking death.
Helpless, it could only retreat in frustration.
However, the loss of the ancient hand, though it could be restored in an instant, meant the newly regenerated hand would ultimately be far inferior to the one tempered through countless trials and tribulations.
From the ancient hand's attack to its severance and capture, everything happened in a flash. Immediately after, Ye Chen, gripping the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, swung it mightily towards the other three great hands.
Perhaps because the owner of the ancient hand had been heavily injured, the other three colossi from antiquity were apprehensive and immediately withdrew, retracting their covetous intentions.
Even so, they still left behind a considerable amount of Ten Thousand Ancient Dao blood, which was devoured by the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd.
"Hmph, consider yourselves sensible," Ye Chen snorted coldly, and did not pursue the attack.
Finally, he looked towards the direction of the Alien Ancient Universe, feeling somewhat strange. During his use of the heavenly tribulation to refine and temper several peerless war weapons, the alien race had actually remained completely inactive.
He had thought they would send several more colossi from antiquity.
Though somewhat puzzled, it meant fewer complications.
A day later, the heavenly tribulation completely ended. The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd had truly become a Giant Level Dao weapon.
The halberd was simple and unadorned, displaying a bronze hue without a trace of gold—a sign of returning to simplicity, making it even more terrifying.
Without a doubt, this was a true Giant Level war weapon.
Having drunk Giant's blood, it seemed even more sentient.
The Chaos Great Cauldron, Chaos Battle Armor, and Seal Gate had also undergone a degree of sublimation.
"Young friend, thank you." The deity of the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd had revived and had also undergone ultimate sublimation, becoming unprecedentedly powerful.
It also understood Ye Chen's strength. After all these years apart, he had become a supreme Giant.
"Senior, there's no need for thanks. Before Sovereign of Formlessness is resurrected, please follow me into battle," Ye Chen said sincerely.
His purpose in refining the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd into a Giant Level Dao weapon was twofold. On one hand, he had fought alongside this halberd in the past, and this war halberd could further enhance his offensive power.
On the other hand, the halberd's origin was closely linked to Sovereign of Formlessness. Its breakthrough to become a Giant Level war weapon would allow it to resonate with Sovereign of Formlessness on an origin level, sharing life force, which could further strengthen Sovereign of Formlessness's true spirit.
"Young friend, just fight as you will," the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd understood Ye Chen's mindset. It felt gratitude, joy, and a boiling battle intent.
From now on, following Ye Chen, it would face world-shaking battles at the Giant Level, completely transcending the Supreme One and Quasi-Giant levels. This filled it with a degree of anticipation.
Ye Chen returned, entering the Immortal King's cave abode.
Swish—
The World Tree Burial Coffin left the Immortal King's cave abode and entered the inner world of the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd's deity. The vast Giant Level Dao weapon origin resonated, making Sovereign of Formlessness's life force even more abundant. A wisp of his true spirit faintly showed signs of strengthening.
During the nearly two thousand years he spent refining the two Giant Level weapons, the Pangu Universe also entered a rare period of peace. The alien race did not launch large-scale attacks, not daring to act rashly.
After all, the current Pangu Universe was no longer what it used to be. First, the Human Sovereign had revived, and later, Ye Chen, this Chaos Giant, had defied the heavens to return, greatly increasing its overall strength.
Especially a thousand years ago, when Ye Chen invaded the Alien Ancient Universe alone, killed multiple Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants, and even suppressed the Silent Abyss Sovereign before retreating unscathed—the fearsome reputation he carved out was at its peak. No one in the vast Chaos Sea was willing to easily provoke this peerless great terror.
Moreover, now that he had successfully refined four Ten Thousand Ancient Dao weapons, all enhancing him, he appeared even more powerful.
While refining the Dao weapons, Ye Chen was also paying attention to news of the Goddess and the others.
Their departure was something even he could not deduce. They had likely gone to a Chaos Sea secret realm or a place related to a colossus from antiquity, which could greatly shield them from his deductions.
Powerful as he was, he was not omnipotent.
However, within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, their soul imprints still shone with blazing light, indicating they were safe and sound, which somewhat reassured Ye Chen.
Thus, another ten thousand plus years passed.
During this period, the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Universe gradually recovered. The myriad Daos flourished once more, allowing others to prove their Dao and become Emperors again.
Throughout these ten thousand plus years, although wars had broken out multiple times, their scale was not large. The biggest one only involved the Supreme One level, with no conflicts at the higher Quasi-Giant or colossus from antiquity levels.
Relatively speaking, this was a rare ten-thousand-year period of peace for the Pangu Universe since the beginning of the Blood-Stained Epoch.
This was something other Chaos Ancient Universes could hardly possess.
Seizing this opportunity, the Pangu Universe once again entered a golden age of prosperity. Talents from all walks of life emerged in succession, and a large number of supreme powerhouses were born.
Ye Chen also occasionally gave lectures on the Dao, which Supreme Ones and even Quasi-Giants attended.
Sometimes, the War Emperor himself came to seek advice on how to break through to the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant level.
He had remained at the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant level for over an epoch,continuously / remained unable to make the breakthrough.
Moreover, during the Blood-Stained Epoch, even an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant was not necessarily safe. At the very least, Giant Level combat power was required.
