In the many fierce battles that had occurred over the past thirty thousand years, the Alien Race Ancient Universe had acted almost recklessly, mobilizing colossi from antiquity countless times.
Among them, the most terrifying battle was when the Jueyi Killing Array, one of the most fearsome killing arrays of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, was even deployed. That time, they nearly succeeded in killing the Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, but in the end, it was mysteriously withdrawn.
This left many in the present era bewildered. Otherwise, under the bombardment of the Jueyi Killing Array, the Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong would have undoubtedly perished, and perhaps even the Pangu Universe would have been shattered.
Yet, even so, the ferocity of that battle was beyond imagination.
The Divine Sky Emperor fell, and the Golden Crow Emperor narrowly escaped death, having ninety-nine percent of his Emperor Soul annihilated and his Emperor Body destroyed, sinking into the deepest slumber.
The War Sovereign, wielding the Supreme Scepter, also bled profusely. The Tathagata Buddha, the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor, the Angel God Emperor, and other quasi-Giants of the Pangu Universe were plunged into the most perilous situations. Even though they were only on the fringes of the battle, the terrifying fluctuations from that level of conflict between colossi from antiquity still inflicted massive damage upon them. One by one, their quasi-Giant bodies were shattered, bringing them to the brink of annihilation.
Especially, the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Indestructible Body of the Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong exploded, and he himself was almost killed, his injuries extremely severe.
At the critical moment, the Human Sovereign erupted with world-shaking combat power, fighting four Giants alone. In the intense battle, he even slew one Alien Race Giant.
It was only at that moment that the Human Sovereign truly displayed the peerless cultivation he had attained after ten lifetimes of reincarnation and rebirth, proving even mightier than during his era as the Reincarnation Emperor.
When the 'Ten Thousand Ancient Times Become Void' technique manifested, who could contend with it? Even colossi from antiquity, upon encountering it, found all their Dao and laws turning to nothingness!
He alone held back multiple Alien Race Giants, preventing them from successfully breaching the pass.
It was then that the Chaos Sea realized with shock that the Human Sovereign had grown so powerful. He was no ordinary first-generation Giant; his strength was not much inferior to that of the Battle Saint King.
Naturally, even someone as formidable as the Human Sovereign could not be utterly invincible. He suffered a combined assault from the Alien Race Giants, bled, nearly had his Ten Thousand Ancient Times Body shattered, and was severely wounded.
Finally, only after multiple supreme Immortal Kings from the Primordial Immortal World personally rushed to reinforce them did the Alien Race Giants reluctantly retreat.
After this battle, the Pangu Universe was greatly weakened, and the Alien Race Ancient Universe also needed to reassess the combat power of the Pangu Universe side.
However, following the Human Sovereign's explosive display of power in that battle, the Alien Race became much more restrained in the subsequent years.
After all, the combat power the Human Sovereign had unleashed in that battle had earned him considerable respect from the Alien Race.
Battles of such scale were difficult to repeat.
Moreover, the two supreme Immortal Kings, Immortal King Pan Dao and Immortal King Hun Shi, successively entered the Pangu Universe. As top-tier Immortal King figures dispatched from the Primordial Immortal World to garrison the Pangu Universe, they could also serve as a deterrent to the Alien Race.
On another front, various forces in the Chaos Sea were also eager to know the current situation of the Battle Saint King.
After all, over these thirty thousand years, even when the Pangu Universe faced the peril of being breached by the Alien Race, this newly ascended overlord of the Chaos Sea had not appeared, which truly aroused curiosity. Where had the Battle Saint King gone all these years?
Many Giants had vague speculations about his ultimate whereabouts.
Some believed he was recuperating from injuries, as in that previous battle, he had fought and slain so many Alien Race Giants, including first-generation ones, and could not have emerged completely unscathed.
Others believed the Battle Saint King had ventured into the depths of the Chaos Sea to search for the remaining heads of the Origin Burial Master.
Boom—
Thirty thousand years later, Ye Chen officially emerged from seclusion. Boundless blood energy surged through the myriad domains of the heavens, shaking the eight realms of the myriad worlds, resonating with the entire Pangu Universe.
He had emerged, his injuries completely healed.
His aura was so powerful it directly resonated with the origin of the Pangu Universe. The might of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times inundated the upper and lower realms of the great universe.
All living beings trembled, yet also rejoiced. The invincible Battle Saint King had finally returned.
During the thirty thousand years, Ye Chen had fully recuperated, returning to his peak and most powerful state.
The universe origin of the Pangu Universe also emitted waves of joyous intent, as if delighted by the recovery and return of a child.
"Hmm?"
The moment he emerged, his Ten Thousand Ancient Times consciousness spread throughout the entire Pangu Universe, immediately sensing something amiss.
In his Ten Thousand Ancient Times consciousness, all living beings were like stars filling the sky, each star representing a life.
The stronger the being, the brighter the perceived light.
Ancient Emperors were no less than moons, quasi-Giants were like suns, and colossi from antiquity were even more radiant, far surpassing suns.
However, he discovered that many familiar lights had dimmed considerably.
Even the light representing the Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong had dimmed to a level comparable to a quasi-Giant, perhaps even slightly inferior.
What had happened in the outside world during his thirty-thousand-year seclusion for recovery?
Colossi from antiquity were terrifyingly powerful, let alone a Chaos Giant like Ye Chen. With a single thought reaching the heavens, he grasped the universe's origin imprints and instantly understood everything.
Rumble—
When he learned what had transpired, the wrath of a Chaos Giant spontaneously gave rise to infinite phenomena, sweeping across the vast heavens of the myriad domains. Rolling clouds of fire surged, shaking heaven and earth!
The myriad heavenly Daos, even the various supreme Emperor Daos, all trembled.
Only the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Great Dao mastered by the Human Sovereign at the center of the Myriad Domains remained as stable as Mount Tai, utterly motionless.
Beyond that, even the Immortal King Daos of the two Immortal Kings, Pan Dao and Hun Shi, showed slight signs of trembling, illustrating Ye Chen's current fearsomeness.
"These petty Alien Race scoundrels, repeatedly provoking my Pangu Universe! Do they truly think the Pangu Universe is easy to bully?" Ye Chen exclaimed in shock and fury.
His thirty-thousand-year seclusion for recovery was a state of deepest recuperation, nearly completely cut off from the outside world. Otherwise, if he had been constantly monitoring the outside, his recovery would have taken at least twenty thousand years longer.
Of course, before entering seclusion, he had left a contingency. Once the outside world was invaded, he could be directly awakened using the Chaos origin imprint he left behind, allowing him to emerge immediately.
However, the Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong and the others, wanting Ye Chen to recover better, had never awakened him. Otherwise, the casualties would not have been so severe.
Boom—
The Myriad Domains trembled greatly. Ye Chen took a single step, directly traversing an immeasurable expanse of endless void, moving straight from the center of the universe to the desolate frontier of the universe, the Pangu Pass.
In the past, because the Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong was severely wounded and nearly perished, he recuperated within the Purple Extreme Lingxiao Palace. Immortal King Hun Shi garrisoned the Myriad Domains, while Immortal King Pan Dao came to garrison the Pangu Pass. A resplendent Immortal King City now spanned before the Pangu Pass, quite prosperous and emanating the immortal might of the Ten Thousand Ancient Times.
Ye Chen's emergence and arrival naturally could not be hidden from Immortal King Pan Dao, who appeared, revealing a hint of joy. "You have finally fully recovered!"
After all, Ye Chen was no ordinary first-generation Giant. He possessed the qualifications to contend for the position of a peerless overlord of the Chaos Sea. His complete recovery was equivalent to multiple colossi from antiquity, holding extraordinary significance.
