It was only then that the world remembered: in the previous epoch, the Human Sovereign's former incarnation, the Reincarnation Emperor, had been an invincible existence akin to a first-generation Giant. Now, with the ten lifetimes of the Supreme Human Sovereign merging into one, and both past and present lives awakening together, just how powerful he had become was truly difficult to estimate.
Today had proven the Human Sovereign's might.
However, the alien races also possessed exceptionally powerful first-generation Giants, who immediately stepped forward to stop the Human Sovereign from continuing to slay alien Giants.
Unfortunately, the Chaos Giant Body and the Chaos Emperor Spirit could not smoothly evolve and manifest, all due to time constraints. Otherwise, Ye Chen's combat power would have soared to its peak once more, and slaying another colossus from antiquity would not have been a major issue.
Boom—
The successive fall of four colossi from antiquity enraged the alien race side immensely, prompting them to deploy the Unique Killing Formation, which had already returned. This time, with the joint revival by the numerous Giants, the Unique Killing Formation was even more terrifying. It directly swept across the entire battlefield, trapping multiple Immortal Kings within it, who bled profusely from time to time.
Even powerhouses like the Human Sovereign and the Finality Immortal Venerable One sustained injuries, and one Immortal King even perished as a result.
Left with no choice, Ye Chen stepped forward alone to forcefully confront it head-on. He did not hesitate to even summon the Chaos Great Cauldron, unleashing the full power of his six Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapons. His Chaos Small Universe projected its image, the Tenfold Divine Haloes empowered him, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form manifested, and the Sacred Heavenly Realm temporarily merged with the phantom of his Chaos Small Universe, instantly stabilizing it countless times over. He forcibly withstood the Unique Killing Formation's descent from the heavens.
Otherwise, if the Unique Killing Formation had continued to descend, the result would have been far more severe than merely killing one Immortal King.
It could be said that Ye Chen alone bore the brunt of the pressure.
As the great battle reached its later stages, Ye Chen discovered that the Alien Ancient Universe actually had other colossi from antiquity emerging one after another. Moreover, he noticed that the Chaos Burial Ground had also appeared silently. He immediately went berserk, grabbing the three alien Giants he had suppressed within his Chaos Small Universe and detonating them at all costs, blasting and annihilating over a dozen surrounding realms into nothingness.
The Unique Killing Formation was forcibly halted, unable to descend any further into this place.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Chen, the Human Sovereign, and the Finality Immortal Venerable One led the Immortal Kings in retreat.
Under such a terrifying and devastating explosion, the alien Giants dared not confront the peak force, retreating far away. Otherwise, even they would face the danger of falling.
However, aside from the Devouring Heaven Sovereign, the other two major alien Giants were retrieved by the alien Giants during this opportunity, their Ten Thousand Ancient Souls finally rescued and no longer subject to continued suppression by Ye Chen. Yet, they suffered grievous, catastrophic injuries; their Ten Thousand Ancient Bodies were shattered. Repairing them in the future would be an arduous task of immense difficulty.
By the time the explosions finally subsided, Ye Chen and the others had already retreated to the vicinity of the Pangu Universe and the Primordial Immortal Realm. The alien forces pursued them, but upon seeing other supreme Immortal Kings gradually appearing within the Primordial Immortal Realm, and even Immortal Venerable Ones of the first-generation Giant level beginning to awaken, they could only halt with extremely grim expressions.
For they all knew that continuing would lead to a conflict that could easily destroy either side's Chaos Ancient Universe, with the ultimate result likely being mutual annihilation.
The Alien Ancient Universe was not afraid of this, but at the very least, they had not yet reached that point and were unwilling to engage in an immediate all-out war.
Nevertheless, the suppression of the two colossi from antiquity, the Longevity Divine Emperor and the Devouring Heaven Sovereign, and today's fall of four more colossi from antiquity, was no simple matter of 'injuring muscles and bones' for the entire Alien Ancient Universe. It was more than just a severe loss of vitality; the casualties were devastatingly heavy.
Counting them up, including the previous Silent Abyss Sovereign, Primordial Ancestral Emperor, and Fate Emperor, the number of colossi from antiquity lost due to the Battle Saint King had reached a full five. As for Quasi-Giants and Emperors below the Giant level, they were too numerous to count.
Though filled with immense unwillingness, the alien race could only withdraw their troops.
As the Alien Ancient Universe retreated, Ye Chen's gaze was cold. He looked towards the Chaos Burial Ground, which had been watching from the sidelines, his body radiating vast, boundless might. The River of Time manifested, and he stood upon it!
One Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon after another appeared: the Heaven-Wastage Great Halberd, the Judgment Spear, the Chaos Great Cauldron, the Seal Gate, the Fate Gate, the Chaos Immortal Armor... They bloomed with resplendent Ten Thousand Ancient light, pointing menacingly towards the Chaos Burial Ground.
Ye Chen remained as unyielding as ever, coldly staring at the Chaos Burial Ground as he roared, "Scram!"
All sides fell silent!
Throughout the ages, there were probably only a handful of individuals who dared to shout the word 'scram' at the Chaos Burial Ground like this, completely fearless.
Of course, all parties also felt that the Battle Saint King indeed possessed the capital to do so. He was too powerful, vaguely on the verge of becoming another peerless Overlord of the Chaos Sea. His invincible bearing as an Overlord was already manifesting.
The Chaos Burial Ground offered no response. Multiple Heavenly Sovereigns coldly stared at Ye Chen before silently withdrawing, as if truly afraid of him, causing an uproar among the various forces.
However, some secretly sneered, believing the Battle Saint King was too rigid and would break easily. Such unyielding strength and domineering aura, no matter how powerful, could not last for long. In due time, he would inevitably meet a violent end.
Now, having thoroughly offended both the Alien Ancient Universe and the Chaos Burial Ground, even if the Battle Saint King were stronger, he was undoubtedly doomed.
Of course, many also believed the Battle Saint King would continue his invincible streak, destined to become another truly invincible, peerless Overlord in the Chaos Sea, standing shoulder to shoulder with past ancient Overlords like the Heavenly Emperor and the Primogenitor.
One of the largest-scale Giant battles in the history of the Chaos Sea officially concluded. All sides breathed a sigh of relief, for if the battle had continued, no one knew whether it would have drawn in even more Giants, or even whether the invincible Overlords who had always stood aloof—the Primogenitor, the Immortal Ancestor, the Universe Emperor—would have participated. By then, perhaps no one in the entire Chaos Sea could have avoided it.
The Giants of all sides wore grave expressions. They had all foreseen a glimpse of a blood-soaked future; the present was merely the prelude to that blood-soaked future. If things continued to develop according to this trend, it would inevitably evolve into the true blood-soaked future, from which no one could escape.
Ye Chen cupped his fists towards the Finality Immortal Venerable One and the other Immortal Kings who had come to his aid. "Today, I thank you all, Fellow Daoists, for your rescue. I deeply regret that three Immortal King Fellow Daoists perished because of it. I am willing to provide appropriate compensation to the Primordial Immortal Realm, and I pledge to forever shelter the clans of those three Immortal King Fellow Daoists."
Three Immortal Kings had fallen because they rushed to Ye Chen's aid. He was by no means a cold and heartless person; such a debt of gratitude would naturally be repaid.
Sheltering their clans was merely the first step.
If possible, he was even willing to help each of the three Immortal King clans cultivate a new Immortal King!
Although cultivating an Immortal King was extremely difficult—even the Primordial Immortal Realm, the first Chaos Ancient Universe of the Chaos Sea, after who knew how many epochs, still had only a handful of Immortal Kings to this day—making it an immensely arduous task.
But for Ye Chen, it was not impossible. After all, he himself was a miracle, having reached this stage in just over two hundred thousand years. Who throughout the ages could compare?
Even the Heavenly Emperor and the Primogenitor in their youth might not have been able to match him.
