"Fellow Daoist, my apologies."
The First Progenitor spoke with a hint of apology, yet his gaze was cold and merciless. His palm descended like a blade from the heavens, cleaving towards Ye Chen's glabella.
"Fellow Daoist, go to your death in peace!"
The Second Progenitor said indifferently, the Primordial True Feather War Sword flashing as it stabbed towards Ye Chen's glabella, aiming to annihilate his Chaos Saint Soul.
*Whoosh!*
At the critical moment, Ye Chen opened his eyes, meeting the First Progenitor's gaze directly. "I've finally been waiting for you."
*Boom!*
As his words fell, he swung his Chaos Saint Fist, clashing head-on with the First Progenitor's palm blade.
A deafening explosion echoed as the realm boundary shattered, blocking this terrifying strike capable of slaying a colossus from antiquity.
Simultaneously, he slapped out a palm, forcefully meeting the Primordial True Feather War Sword. With a metallic clang, the war sword was sent flying, embedding itself in the Second Progenitor's chest and drawing forth a string of Ten Thousand Ancient Times Dao Blood.
*Boom!*
A Chaos Heaven-Shaking Hand continued its momentum unabated, blasting him away, half of his Ten Thousand Ancient Times body disintegrating.
On the other side, dazzling Chaos light bloomed from Ye Chen's glabella, materializing a war sword out of thin air that sent the Sacred Heavenly Realm flying before landing on the Third Progenitor. With a *pfft*, it split the Third Progenitor's Ten Thousand Ancient Times body in two.
In the blink of an eye, he dismantled the offensive of the three Progenitors of the Ancient Heavenly Race, grievously wounding the Second and Third Progenitors upon first contact.
The two Progenitors of the Ancient Heavenly Race changed color. "You—"
Wounded upon first contact? How was this possible?
The three alien Giants were also greatly shocked. At this point, how could the Battle Saint King still possess such peak combat power? Unbelievable!
Ye Chen, however, did not look at the Second or Third Progenitor, but instead gazed at the First Progenitor. "Yase, did you know? I've actually been waiting for you to make your move all along. After hiding for so long, is this all you've got? You disappoint me!"
That's right, he had been waiting for the First Progenitor's appearance all along.
Since the Second and Third Progenitors of the Ancient Heavenly Race had appeared, the First Progenitor must surely be present as well. How could he be missing?
It was just that he had never shown himself, making Ye Chen rather wary, unsure of when and where he would strike.
Now, he had finally made his move, putting Ye Chen's mind at ease.
*Boom!*
At this moment, boundless vitality surged within Ye Chen's body. His seemingly shattered Chaos Saint Body rapidly repaired itself. In just a few breaths, all his wounds had completely healed.
Even more, endless, vast power was welling up, his aura sharply increasing.
The expressions of the three Progenitors of the Ancient Heavenly Race changed. So, the him who had battled the Longevity Divine Emperor earlier was not at his absolute peak; he had still been concealing part of his strength.
Ye Chen felt the Universe Power surging endlessly within him, naturally belonging to his Chaos Small Universe.
All along, he had never utilized the power of his Chaos Small Universe, keeping it hidden as a trump card.
The Chaos Small Universe had been evolving rapidly. When he became a Giant, it was already astonishing. Not long ago, it had devoured Tianmou Huangzun's Universe Stone, expanding it even further.
Now, the power of the Chaos Small Universe had reached an unprecedented, astonishing level, not the least bit inferior to a colossus from antiquity, even slightly stronger, approaching the level of a Primordial Giant.
Now, the power of the Chaos Small Universe surged forth madly, filling every limb and bone of his body. Combined with Ye Chen's own peak power akin to a Primordial Giant, the two superimposed upon each other, causing his aura to climb steadily!
At this moment, he finally understood why the Universe Great Emperor was qualified to be hailed as one of the strongest in the Chaos Sea.
He was merely the master of an incomplete Chaos Small Universe, yet it could provide such vast power. How much more astonishing would the power provided by a completely perfected, complete Chaos Ancient Universe be, capable of suppressing a colossus from antiquity upon first contact!
"Such a powerful aura!"
The Second and Third Progenitors of the Ancient Heavenly Race were greatly shocked. The First Progenitor's expression also shifted slightly, but at this moment, his gaze grew bright as he looked at Ye Chen, a sudden sense of greed arising within him.
From the depths of his soul, as if someone was silently telling him, as long as he devoured Ye Chen, he could achieve a great leap, evolving directly from his half-world, half-universe body into a complete Universe Stone body.
"The Battle Saint King seems to be hiding an enormous, unknown secret. Otherwise, my half-world, half-universe body wouldn't be so agitated," the First Progenitor thought, his gaze flickering with doubt and suspicion as he stared fixedly at Ye Chen, yet also burning with fervor.
However, the Chaos Small Universe was contained within the deepest part of Ye Chen's body, blocked by his Chaos Saint Body. Even a Primordial Giant like the First Progenitor could not perceive it.
*Boom!*
Chaos erupted as Ye Chen attacked. Using the Chaos Saint Blood that had scattered, he forged a great halberd and stepped forward to clash head-on with the Second Progenitor.
*Boom!*
The figure of the Second Progenitor of the Ancient Heavenly Race was sent flying violently, the left half of his Ten Thousand Ancient Times body severed by the halberd.
Simultaneously, the Judgment Spear was instantly reforged and merged by Ye Chen, then projected forth as if reversing the River of Time, unavoidable, piercing through the Third Progenitor who had no room to retreat, transfixing his entire body.
At this moment, the First Progenitor arrived, swinging a stone fist—a fist of half-world, half-universe stone, incredibly terrifying, almost equivalent to a Chaos Ancient Universe being propelled forward in a horizontal strike, capable of crushing and shattering space-time.
"Good! I also want to know just how strong you, the First Progenitor of the Ancient Heavenly Race, truly are!" Ye Chen let out a long roar. His figure flashed as he swung his Chaos Saint Fist, meeting fist with fist in a head-on clash.
*Boom!*
The years and space-time were collapsing, unable to withstand the head-on clash of two Primordial Giants, almost exploding outright.
In this direct confrontation, the First Progenitor did not fall behind. His physical body could also be called Ten Thousand Ancient Times indestructible.
Ye Chen was surprised. Even when clashing head-on with the Longevity Divine Emperor, though he couldn't defeat him instantly, the other party would still suffer losses during the exchange—this was the advantage of the Chaos Saint Body.
But now, he discovered the First Progenitor was very strong. Though both were Primordial Giants, he was even stronger than the Longevity Divine Emperor, perhaps due to the special nature of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times cultivation method he practiced.
Transforming his physical body into Universe Stone, even if only one-third successful, was still heaven-defying.
One must know that Universe Stone could only be nurtured by a true Chaos Ancient Universe.
Ye Chen did not know how the First Progenitor had cultivated this, as it involved a Ten Thousand Ancient Times cultivation method. Each colossus from antiquity's Ten Thousand Ancient Times cultivation method was different, containing the insights and accumulations of a colossus from antiquity over countless epochs, gradually developed and refined, making them extraordinarily extraordinary.
Especially the Ten Thousand Ancient Times cultivation methods of Primordial Giants were even more extraordinary.
But this did not hinder the First Progenitor's peerless power. The might of the Universe Stone was fully displayed; every move and action contained a portion of the infinite power of a Chaos Ancient Universe. During the collisions, even Ye Chen felt pain in his fists—a sensation rarely felt before.
However, at the same time, the First Progenitor was also immensely shocked.
He knew full well how powerful his half-world, half-universe stone body was. Confident he could suppress other Primordial Giants, fearing no one in close-quarters combat, yet he could do nothing against the Battle Saint King. How astonishing was this?
It could only be said that the Battle Saint King's Chaos Saint Body was also incredibly formidable!
