The Void Heaven Ancient Emperor, having attained the Dao through Void, saw all the Emperor-level techniques attacking before him turn to nothingness. With a mere opening of his eyes, he shot two massive bloody holes through the golden dragon tail of the little golden dragon, causing a great shower of dragon blood.
The Eternal Banishment black hole created by Weir's divine language laws was likewise rendered void out of thin air.
At the same time, he met Qian Xun's attack, sneering coldly, "A mere Supreme One dares to engage this seat in close combat? Where did you get the courage?"
Boom—
Even Qian Xun, whose strength was no less than that of a Great Perfection Emperor Realm Supreme One, had his offensive completely dismantled. A reverse beam of void light was shot back towards him.
Qian Xun's expression changed, and he instantly shifted sideways by billions of miles. Yet, the void light beam still grazed his battle armor—armor capable of withstanding Supreme One attacks—and shattered it.
He was horrified. If that attack had landed on his body, how terrifying would it have been?
He feared even his Battle Saint Physique might not have been able to withstand it.
Boom—
Suddenly, a shocking change occurred on the battlefield.
A tremendous explosion, accompanied by the violent eruption of the boundless Chaos Sea, shattered the myriad Daos. A Quasi-Giant was utterly annihilated, exploding within the Chaos Sea.
The resulting fluctuation was utterly terrifying, its majestic and peerless power piercing through space-time, shaking the Chaos Sea. A bloody radiance instantly illuminated multiple realms.
It was as if a great universe had collapsed and perished, the ripples spreading across countless realms.
Both sides were startled.
A Quasi-Giant had exploded, his blood staining the present era, shattering half a realm, causing a world-shaking, terrifying impact.
Fortunately, the Great Wilderness Realm had already seen the collapse of several Chaos Primordial Great Worlds. Otherwise, such an impact would have inflicted terrible damage upon them, shattering their world barriers and causing the death of billions of living beings.
However, three Chaos Primordial Great Worlds, including the Great Wilderness Ancient World, were still affected, pushed far away by the terrifying explosive shockwaves.
Who was it?
Which Quasi-Giant had exploded?
"It's the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor!"
The Supreme Ones and peak powerhouses were astounded. It was the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor, who had exploded of his own volition.
Especially since he was a Quasi-Giant of the Body Refinement lineage, his blood energy was incomparably vigorous, surpassing that of other Quasi-Giants. Once he exploded, the resulting force was even more terrifyingly boundless, as if intending to drag down the entire Great Wilderness Realm to be buried with him.
The infinite destructive energy was beyond imagination.
This was the self-detonation of a Quasi-Giant. Even a mighty Ancient Giant would likely avoid itsedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat), and a moment of carelessness could result in injury.
"Senior!"
Qian Xun's heart pounded with fear. Had even the mighty Great Desolate Ancient Emperor been forcibly exploded by the Destiny Great Emperor?
Was their situation truly so hopeless?
"No, Senior Great Desolate Ancient Emperor chose to self-detonate, attempting to reverse the current situation," A Beinu said, her tone carrying a touch of tragic heroism.
Their situation was too dire. To save them, the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor did not hesitate to self-detonate, stopping the pursuit of the three Quasi-Giants.
For the first time, the allied Supreme Ones felt such powerlessness. Even after attaining the Dao and becoming Emperors, achieving Great Perfection Ancient Emperor status, gaining immortality and timelessness, they felt utterly helpless at this moment.
Rumble—
The bloody light reversed through the nine heavens. The Quasi-Giant-level fluctuations swept majestically through the heavens, shaking the realms.
Visibly, all the bloody light was recoiling, reassembling the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor's immortal Emperor body.
His form and spirit reconstituted. His majestic, towering Emperor body was exactly as before, and the Quasi-Giant-level supreme fluctuations still wantonly surged.
This allowed Qian Xun and the other allied Supreme Ones to breathe a sigh of relief. As a Quasi-Giant, the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor possessed peerless vitality; he couldn't possibly be killed so easily.
Even after being shattered and exploded, he could still reassemble.
However, what made their expressions darken was the certainty that the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor had encountered his most difficult predicament, forcing him to resort to self-detonation in an attempt to reverse the situation.
Sure enough, after the terrifying remnants of the Quasi-Giant-level self-detonation dissipated, the Destiny Great Emperor, Silver Moon Great Emperor, and Void Heaven Ancient Emperor all appeared disheveled. Even an extreme realm Quasi-Giant like the Destiny Great Emperor looked rather battered at this moment, his body stained with blood, traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Let alone the other two, who were in tatters, with many wounds deep enough to reveal bone, a truly miserable sight.
This was the situation the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor had bought with his self-detonation, barely managing to recover some of their disadvantage.
At the same time, the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor sent a mental message: "Leave quickly. The Sacred Artifact must not be lost."
Qian Xun and the others immediately composed themselves, turned, and fled towards the direction of the Pangu Universe.
Indeed, the true Sacred Artifact was not on the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor at all, but on one of the individuals in the Goddess's group.
The Great Desolate Ancient Emperor refining the artifact had merely been a feint.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Immediately, the Goddess and the other Supreme Ones and peak powerforces pierced through the Chaos Sea, rapidly departing.
"Damnation!"
The Silver Moon Great Emperor was furious and cold. Who could have expected the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor to be so unyielding? Clearly not pushed to the absolute limit, yet he chose self-detonation for mutual destruction.
The Void Heaven Ancient Emperor's body was in tatters, many wounds deep enough to reveal bone, having suffered significant damage.
However, these were merely ordinary injuries, quickly healing. The Great Desolate Ancient Emperor, having self-detonated his form and spirit, would have his origin wounded. That kind of injury was truly serious.
Even a mighty Quasi-Giant dared not explode his form and spirit too many times. Each time would severely damage his origin.
To put it bluntly, in severe cases, it could even affect his future attainment of the Ancient Giant Dao, potentially leaving him stuck at this level forever, never able to smoothly advance to become an Ancient Giant.
"Well done, Great Desolate Ancient Emperor. This seat underestimated you," the Destiny Great Emperor's expression was also unpleasant. To stop them, he had actually self-detonated without regard for the cost.
Even someone as powerful as him had been wounded.
The Great Desolate Ancient Emperor appeared as imposing as ever, but in reality, he had revealed a hint of weakness.
Self-detonation had wounded his origin; how could he truly be unscathed?
But for the safety of the rising talents of the Pangu Universe, he had no choice.
The Destiny Great Emperor summoned the River of Time and immediately unleashed a supreme Destiny Great Technique. Infinite Destiny Emperor Dao rules condensed into chains of order, each one incredibly thick, numbering in the billions. In an instant, they sealed the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor and manifested a Destiny Gate possessing unfathomable power.
The Great Desolate Ancient Emperor was actually trapped within, unable to break free for the moment.
"Now you can only watch helplessly as this seat captures the juniors of your Pangu Universe, crushes them one by one, and retrieves that Sacred Artifact," the Destiny Great Emperor said, turning and leaving. In a single step, he appeared before Qian Xun and the others.
"Oh? There are actually a few Eternal Emperors among them!" The Destiny Great Emperor observed them up close for the first time. Ruo Xi, Qian Xun, and Ye Jing were all Eternal Emperors, and very powerful ones at that, each capable of rivaling a Great Perfection Emperor Realm Supreme One.
To put it in perspective, there were eleven true Supreme Emperor Sovereigns. These three, though only Eternal Emperors, were strong enough to fight at the peak, equivalent to fourteen Supreme Ones.
"This epoch of the Pangu Universe is no less than the Mythical Epoch, producing so many Eternal Emperors in succession. But it's a pity, you will never make that final leap in this lifetime. You are destined to die today. This seat has seen your fate!" The Destiny Great Emperor spoke coldly, piercing through the fate of all living beings.
The Destiny Emperor Spear emerged and descended with a thunderous crash.
The Goddess and the other Supreme Ones dared not be negligent, joining forces to counterattack.
