Having lived through multiple epochal eras, he had long since seen through many things. This was not the issue; the important point was being able to walk together to the very end in the future. As for cultivators below the Supreme One realm, no matter how astonishing their talent, no matter how peerlessly beautiful they might be, as long as they did not reach the Supreme One realm, they would one day turn into red-powdered skeletons buried beneath the yellow earth, leaving one ultimately alone.
Finding a Dao companion at the Supreme One realm was the most suitable thing possible.
Immediately, the silver-haired, handsome Quasi-Giant curled his lips into a smile and said warmly, "Empress Jingruo, if you continue to resist, you will only meet your end. It would be better to hand over the sacred artifact. This One can promise to let you off. Of course, if possible, I hope you can become This One's Dao companion. In that case, This One can pledge not only to spare you all but also to not harm a single hair on your heads."
Hearing this, the Goddess and the others' gazes turned icy.
What a Silver Moon Emperor! Not only did he demand they hand over the sacred artifact, but he also wanted the Goddess to become his other half as a Dao companion, setting his sights on her.
The Peacock Demon Sovereign's eyes were exceptionally cold. The Goddess was the Empress he had his eye on; how could he allow another to defile her?
If not for the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, he would have already exterminated the other party.
Zhao Jingruo was a chaste and fierce woman. In this life, she loved only Ye Chen, was loyal only to him. How could she tolerate others defiling her? Her Emperor light blazed brilliantly as she coldly shouted, "Silver Moon, rest assured. When you break in, This Empress will be the first to slaughter your dog's head."
Silver Moon Emperor was not the least bit angered by the Goddess's words; instead, he admired her chastity and temperament even more.
Only such a fiercely unyielding woman was worthy of the affection of a dignified Quasi-Giant like himself.
Silver Moon Emperor said with a smile, "Empress Jingruo, I quite admire you."
"I do not admire you, and you are not qualified to be my Dao companion," Zhao Jingruo said coldly, not placing Silver Moon Emperor in her eyes at all.
At this moment, another Quasi-Giant, Void Heaven Ancient Emperor, spoke up, laughing heartily, "Silver Moon, she actually says that a dignified Quasi-Giant like you is not worthy of her."
The status of a Quasi-Giant was supremely lofty. Even great perfection Emperor realm Supreme Ones like Emperors and Immortal Kings would regard them with awe and reverence. With the true Giants not appearing, they were the truly invincible ones.
Not to mention in past eras, even in the Blood-Stained Epoch, they were supreme existences that could not be ignored in the slightest.
Silver Moon Emperor raised a cold smile. "I'm afraid she believes her dead husband, the Battle Saint King, can save her. Pity, that junior perished over a hundred thousand years ago. Back then, he was ambushed by the Eternal Life Divine Sovereign and then attacked by the Origin Burial Lord. How could there be any path to survival? It's just that she refuses to accept fate."
In his eyes, the Battle Saint King had long since perished; it was simply impossible for him to still be alive.
Ten thousand years was neither short nor long. Because of the struggle for the sacred artifact, both sides had been trapped within the Great Wilderness Realm, and they did not know much about news from the outside world. Few were willing to enter this blood-stained Great Wilderness Realm.
Therefore, Silver Moon Emperor and the others were unaware that Ye Chen was alive. Even if they occasionally heard one or two rumors, they simply ignored them.
Void Heaven Ancient Emperor said, "Let's attack. Don't delay any further. Break through the Great Desolation Emperor Heaven Formation immediately. This One worries that if we delay, unforeseen changes may occur!"
Silver Moon Emperor nodded and ordered, "Break through the Great Desolation Emperor Heaven Formation at once and seize the sacred artifact. However, if possible, do not kill these people. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Thirteen Supreme Ones stepped forward. At this moment, they all chose to attack. One after another, vast pillars of Supreme One light, infused with terrifying Supreme One Emperor laws, bombarded the Great Desolation Emperor Heaven Formation on the surface of the Great Desolation Ancient World.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Under a continuous barrage of attacks, the Great Desolation Emperor Heaven Formation was seen being constantly worn away, its formation light rapidly dimming.
The eleven Supreme Ones within the Great Desolation Ancient World never once stepped forward to maintain the Great Desolation Emperor Heaven Formation, because they knew it would ultimately collapse. Rather than that, it was better to preserve more strength in preparation for the upcoming Supreme One Emperor battle.
Finally, after nearly half an hour, the Great Desolation Emperor Heaven Formation could no longer hold on.
Rumble—
Infinite light rain scattered. This Quasi-Giant-level great formation was completely breached. The formation's heavenly curtain disintegrated, scattering in all directions.
The barrier of the Great Desolation Ancient World was instantly pierced, torn open into an enormous rift.
Silver Moon Emperor and Void Heaven Ancient Emperor, the two Quasi-Giants, led the thirteen Supreme Ones as they descended from the sky with a thunderous roar. Their voices resounded throughout the sky above the entire Great Desolation Ancient World: "Great Desolation Ancient Emperor, come out immediately and hand over the sacred artifact! Otherwise, This One will shatter the entire Great Desolation Ancient World, slaughter all your experts, and behead you!"
Rumble—
Infinite Emperor light erupted from the deepest part of the Great Desolation Ancient World.
Then, a majestic, towering figure appeared. Standing fifteen feet tall, his entire body was like ancient bronze. He stepped upon the void, ascending into the heavens like a Chaos Demon God capable of shattering the eternal firmament.
His imposing aura was in no way inferior to the two Quasi-Giants, Silver Moon Emperor and the others; in fact, it seemed slightly superior.
"Great Desolation Ancient Emperor, you've finally deigned to show yourself." Silver Moon Emperor looked at the towering Emperor figure, also revealing a trace of wariness.
The Great Desolation Ancient Emperor was a supremely powerful Great Emperor from the Mythical Epoch of the Pangu Universe. After the Great Mythical Cataclysm, he too had taken that step, becoming a Quasi-Giant.
Moreover, he followed the body refinement path, having attained the Dao through his physical body, making him terrifyingly powerful.
Therefore, he was more formidable than an ordinary Quasi-Giant.
Both Silver Moon Emperor and Void Heaven Ancient Emperor, the two Quasi-Giants, admitted that in a one-on-one fight, they would not be a match for the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor.
Within the Great Desolation Ancient World, the Goddess and the others revealed a hint of joy. Had the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor emerged because he had completely refined the sacred artifact into his body?
Facing the two Quasi-Giants, the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor said, "Silver Moon Emperor, Void Heaven Ancient Emperor, the sacred artifact has been successfully refined by This Emperor and integrated into This Emperor's body. Since you wish to seize it, let's see if you have the means to snatch it away."
As his words fell, the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor attacked. As an Ancient Great Emperor of the body refinement lineage who had reached the Quasi-Giant realm, his strength was beyond doubt.
His body was his strongest Dao weapon, radiating infinite might. He simply raised his hand and slapped out.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The eternal sky fell into silence. The entire Great Desolation Ancient World shook violently, unable to withstand the force. Heaven collapsed and earth split; it nearly shattered.
This single slap was enough to completely pierce through a Chaos Primordial Great World like this one.
Blasting apart a Supreme One would not be a problem.
Yet such terrifying power was completely compressed by the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor, not a single wisp leaking out. All of it was directed outward, blasted toward the two enemy Quasi-Giants.
Boom—
Faced with this sudden, terrifying palm, even Silver Moon Emperor and Void Heaven Ancient Emperor were jolted violently and were blasted out of the Great Desolation Ancient World.
At the same time, the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor reached out and grasped at the air. Deep within the world, heaven and earth shook violently. An immeasurably tall Emperor Mountain, along with a massive mountain range millions of miles long, tore itself from the earth and rose into the sky, shaking the great world.
Under the control of the Great Desolation Ancient Emperor, the Emperor Mountain and the mountain range crashed violently into the thirteen Supreme Ones.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The thirteen Supreme Ones were instantly blasted out of the Great Desolation Ancient World.
