The suppressed and imprisoned alien Giants, including the Longevity Divine Emperor, were also shocked, clearly sensing the immense increase in Ye Chen's power.
"Impossible! How could you have grown so much stronger, Battle Saint King?"
The Longevity Divine Emperor found it hard to believe. He had relied on accumulation bit by bit over endless eons to ultimately become a Primordial Giant, one who stood above ordinary Giants. He knew full well that after reaching the realm of a colossus from antiquity, there were absolutely no shortcuts. Even the most dazzling, peerless genius could only accumulate power gradually once they entered the domain of the ancient titans.
Unless one relied on external objects, like the Universe Great Emperor, who with immense fortune became the master of an Ancient Chaos Universe, directly leaping to become one of the strongest, invincible beings in the Chaos Sea.
But that was, after all, a rarity. Throughout the ages, the only one to become the master of an Ancient Chaos Universe was the Universe Great Emperor alone.
Now, how had the Battle Saint King managed to become so much stronger in such a short time, on a foundation that was already at the Primordial Giant level? It was an increase of nearly double, something unimaginable.
Even the Longevity Divine Emperor, who had witnessed countless ages and knew almost everything in the world, was utterly baffled at this moment.
The Devouring Heavenly Venerable and the other suppressed alien Giant were even more unable to comprehend it.
But without exception, they all shared one very intuitive feeling—
Death was descending!
The Battle Saint King, who could already sweep through multiple ancient titans single-handedly, had now become nearly twice as strong. How powerful would he be?
Overwhelming!
Meanwhile, Ye Chen quickly adapted to the boundless power within his body. He felt the sheer strength within him was so immense that he could likely punch and shatter even a Primordial Giant.
Of course, that was just an illusion.
But it was also the confidence brought by absolute power.
"This power has indeed grown a bit too fast," he mused. "But it's fine. I am stronger now."
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile slightly, then swept his gaze over the two Ancestors of the Ancient Heavenly Race, looking down upon them from a superior position, cold and emotionless.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, he moved. It was as if he were reversing the river of time. In less than an instant, he traversed an immeasurable distance and arrived before the Third Progenitor of the Angel Race.
The Third Progenitor, who was engaged in a peak duel with the Chaos Giant's body, changed expression drastically. He felt an overwhelming, boundless pressure crashing towards him like a tidal wave. At this moment, even his ten-thousand-year Dao Heart trembled.
He had an illusion—as if the other party needed only a single punch to shatter him.
What kind of illusion was this?
Why did the other party feel so terrifying to him?
Instinctively, without a second thought, the Third Progenitor of the Ancient Heavenly Race turned and fled.
"Although I promised Yase not to exterminate the Ancient Heavenly Race, I never said I couldn't kill you!"
Ye Chen spoke indifferently. With his first move, he unleashed absolute control over space and time. The phantom of a Chaos Universe manifested, enveloping the Third Progenitor.
It was as if an entire Ancient Chaos Universe was suppressing him. Even a mighty ancient titan like the Third Progenitor was powerless to struggle.
This was suppression in every aspect. Even a Primordial Giant would suffer immense suppression, let alone the Third Progenitor, who was merely an ordinary colossus from antiquity. He was utterly unable to break free. His ten-thousand-year body and ten-thousand-year soul remained motionless, as if petrified.
Boom—
A cosmic hand descended from the heavens, landing upon the Third Progenitor.
The cosmic hand struck the Third Progenitor three times in succession. Each blow caused his ten-thousand-year body to tremble violently, his flesh cracking.
Finally, after the third strike landed, he could no longer endure and completely exploded.
Three strikes to blast apart a colossus from antiquity—it was terrifying!
Even a Primordial Giant couldn't accomplish that.
Yet, Ye Chen had done it.
Moreover, this wasn't even his full power. It was merely a probing, casual strike to gauge his strength.
The result proved that with a casual strike, three blows could shatter a colossus from antiquity.
In other words, going all out, a single strike could blast apart an ancient titan. There was no need to refine dozens or hundreds of moves into one as before.
The other ancient titans were horrified. Just what level had the Battle Saint King's strength reached?
Primordial Giant?
In truth, it was impossible to measure precisely. Levels like Supreme One, Quasi-Giant, and colossus from antiquity no longer had clear ten-layer divisions. Perhaps only the 'Forty-Nine Immortal Passes' of the Primordial Immortal Realm could meticulously delineate specific strength.
If one had to calculate, Ye Chen could perhaps be considered the supreme powerhouse among Primordial Giants.
It was just unknown how he compared to the likes of the Heavenly Emperor, the Primordial Ancestor, the Universe Great Emperor, and the Immortal Ancestor.
Meanwhile, all sides were shocked, but Ye Chen paid them no mind. His cosmic hand grabbed the Third Progenitor of the Ancient Heavenly Race, who was in the process of reforming, intending to slaughter him.
The Third Progenitor suddenly roared. The Sacred Heavenly Realm, a top-tier ten-thousand-year Dao Weapon, instantly manifested, enveloping his body, rendering it indestructible and immortal.
But even before his transformation, Ye Chen could still breach the Sacred Heavenly Realm's defenses, let alone now?
How could it possibly block him?
Boom—
Suppressed by Ye Chen's cosmic phantom, even the Sacred Heavenly Realm was useless, cracking inch by inch.
The Sacred Heavenly Realm was compressed to the size of a pill. This renowned ten-thousand-year Heavenly Realm was like a marble toyed with in his palm. Ye Chen chuckled lightly, "I already have quite a few ten-thousand-year Dao Weapons. Although this one is good, I don't need too many. However, it can help stabilize my Chaos Small Universe."
He casually suppressed it as well, planning to refine it later.
Right now, the more important task was to resolve all enemies.
He began to move against the Second Progenitor of the Ancient Heavenly Race.
Knowing escape was impossible, the Second Progenitor charged forth, wielding the Primordial True Feather War Sword.
Clang—
The Primordial True Feather War Sword was blocked, trembling violently. Even the sword's radiance dimmed, showing signs of shattering.
Pfft—
The Second Progenitor directly coughed up blood, his figure sent flying backward.
Swish—
A palm blade descended from above, cleaving the Second Progenitor in two, blood gushing forth.
A fist shot out, blasting his head apart. His ten-thousand-year soul also shattered.
In the brief span of a few exchanges, the two remaining Ancestors of the Ancient Heavenly Race had been blasted apart one after another.
The phantom of the Ancient Chaos Universe continued to radiate, unleashing unparalleled spatial-temporal might that suppressed the two Ancestors of the Ancient Heavenly Race. A Chaos Great Hand Seal sealed them both and tossed them into his internal Chaos Small Universe. The universe's origin power was released, personally suppressing the two.
Then, Ye Chen looked towards the Longevity Divine Emperor and said coldly, "It's your turn now."
The Longevity Divine Emperor suddenly spoke with profound meaning, "Battle Saint King, you may be strong, but don't truly think I've been suppressed by you all this time without making any preparations. Come!"
The next moment, the aura of this place completely changed, becoming different. A vast, ferocious might, no less than that of a ten-thousand-year titan, wantonly surged forth, flooding seven or eight boundless domains.
At some unknown time, a terrifying formation had appeared, radiating with sinister blood light.
In a daze, it seemed as if boundless Ancient Chaos Universes were collapsing and scattering in all directions, with countless living beings perishing.
Ancient Great Emperors fell beneath swords, Quasi-Giants bled across the skies, supreme Giants roared and struggled...
It was a blood-soaked scene emanating from the formation, as if recounting the horrifying slaughter it had wrought in the past.
In different positions, killing swords hung in the air. Their bodies were either crimson, azure, pure white, dark black, and so on—a myriad of colors, not uniform, yet they could bizarrely change hues at will, all exuding terrifying killing intent.
Within this formation, there were a total of forty-nine killing swords. Each sword belonged to the level of a Supreme Emperor Weapon. Together, they formed a terrifying sword formation.
The moment this sword formation appeared, even the current Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
Faintly, it seemed capable of threatening his life.
For someone as powerful as him, far surpassing ordinary Primordial Giants, to still feel a certain degree of threat—one could imagine just how terrifying this killing formation was.
Ye Chen suddenly recalled an ancient secret. Several epochs ago, the alien Ancient Universe had launched an assault against a hostile Ancient Chaos Universe.
In that battle, it was said they merely deployed a single sword formation, which completely shattered that Ancient Chaos Universe, utterly slaughtering all living beings within, including the most powerful Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and ancient titans. None were spared.
When he had heard of it before, he thought it was just an unfounded rumor passed down incorrectly. But seeing it today, it turned out to be true.
"I never imagined the alien race still possessed such a peerless killing formation."
Ye Chen's expression turned slightly grave. Regarding this killing formation, throughout ancient, present, and future times, the various realms knew little. But the sole fragmentary records indicated that even an Ancient Chaos Universe had collapsed because of it, giving a glimpse of just how terrifying it was.
Now, this peerless killing formation that had once caused an Ancient Chaos Universe to collapse descended from the heavens, targeting Ye Chen. It was a supreme killing formation rarely seen throughout the ages, far more terrifying than the Ancient Heavenly Race's Ancestral Heaven Great Array, capable of slaying existences at the Primordial Giant level.
The Longevity Divine Emperor suddenly exploded, actually resorting to self-destruction to break free from the piercing of the Heaven-Withering Great Halberd. He reformed in the distance, his sinister voice ringing out, "Battle Saint King, you may be strong, but do you truly think you could suppress me so easily? All of this was merely my delaying tactic, intentionally buying time so that the Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants of my realm's Ancient Universe could set up this Peerless Killing Formation!"
Boundless blood light surged skyward, merging into the supreme killing formation above, which was currently undergoing reorganization.
Faintly visible, the Longevity Divine Emperor reappeared, and around him emerged a full twelve Quasi-Giants and thirty-seven Supreme Ones—an astonishingly formidable lineup.
These Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones jointly controlled this Peerless Killing Formation.
"In the past, my realm's Ancient Universe used the Peerless Killing Formation to shatter a genuine Ancient Chaos Universe. It is one of the ultimate foundations my realm's Ancient Universe uses to suppress great ancient universes. Using it to bury you now is also fitting for your status," the Longevity Divine Emperor said coldly.
Ye Chen remained silent, raising his eyes to sweep over this Peerless Killing Formation. Infinite killing intent manifested. Even the faintest strands descending would be enough to easily shred a Supreme One's emperor body; even Quasi-Giants couldn't withstand it.
Now, he was completely locked onto by this Peerless Killing Formation.
He hadn't expected that those alien Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones who had left were secretly preparing such a peerless, supreme killing formation unparalleled throughout the ages. He had to admit he had indeed been somewhat negligent.
"Heh, although the Peerless Killing Formation is powerful, wanting to kill me, the Battle Saint King, still falls far short."
Ye Chen spoke indifferently. Boundless Chaos light erupted from his body as he suddenly shot skyward, charging upwards.
Boom—
The Chaos Sea trembled violently. In a daze, one could see multiple domains exploding, disintegrating.
All sides were shocked, trying to investigate what had happened.
Not long after, a terrifying figure was seen traversing the skies. Wherever it passed, domain after domain trembled violently, nearly exploding—a truly horrifying sight.
However, this figure also appeared quite wretched, covered in blood, with wounds continuously bleeding, staining multiple domains red.
A colossus from antiquity?
"It's the Longevity Divine Emperor!"
A colossus from antiquity exclaimed in shock. Wasn't this the alien race's Longevity Divine Emperor?
What on earth had happened?
The Longevity Divine Emperor, a dignified Primordial Giant stronger than ordinary Giants, was now fleeing in a miserable, wretched state, frantically burning his ten-thousand-year Dao Blood to escape.
Giants from all sides were utterly dumbfounded.
