Many Giants were quite envious, wishing to covet it.
But upon seeing Ye Chen's figure appear, sitting cross-legged beneath the Ten Thousand Ancient Tribulation, each of them had no choice but to restrain their schemes.
As things stood now, Ye Chen had forged an immense reputation, having slain numerous Ten Thousand Ancient Giants, including First Generation Giants. Such illustrious battle achievements placed him among the rarest, top-tier strongest Giants throughout all ages, almost worthy of being called the contemporary overlord of the Chaos Sea.
Who in the entire Chaos Sea would dare to challenge his peak?
Ye Chen paid no heed to the gazes of others. When the Ten Thousand Ancient Tribulation reached its later stages, he simply raised his hand and slapped upward. The Ten Thousand Ancient Tribulation exploded with a thunderous roar, vanishing without a trace—it had been forcibly dispersed by his palm, showcasing his peerless, unparalleled cultivation!
This Ten Thousand Ancient soul of the Devouring Heaven Emperor Sovereign merged with the original deity of the Sealing Gate, completely becoming a brand new deity.
This Sealing Gate deity also reached the level of a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant, nearly transcending to become a true Giant beyond being just a Dao Weapon!
"Excellent, very good. Another top-tier Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon has been refined."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. Currently, the Sealing Gate was not inferior to the Chaos Great Cauldron or the Desolate Heaven Great Halberd, perhaps even surpassing them, because its deity had been refined with a Ten Thousand Ancient soul, making it immensely more powerful.
However, he did not immediately retrieve the Sealing Gate. Instead, with a flick of his finger, the ten Sealing Gates pierced through space-time, ultimately landing upon Pangu Pass.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The ten Sealing Gates descended from the heavens, merging with Pangu Pass to become its ten Heavenly Gates.
Ye Chen's voice spread throughout the Pangu Universe: "Today, my Sealing Gates shall guard Pangu Pass. The Human Sovereign Tower and the World Tower may be withdrawn."
Boom!—
Boom!—
The Human Sovereign Tower and the World Tower soared into the sky, entering the center of the Myriad Domains from Pangu Pass.
The thirty-three-layered Human Sovereign Tower, carrying boundless Chaos Qi, first arrived beside Ye Chen as if signaling, then descended to the location of the Human Sovereign Palace and vanished.
The World Tower, the Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon of the Space-Time Great Emperor, came before Ya Ya, the World Tree Great Emperor. Sharing the same origin, it resonated with her and would serve as her temporary Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon until the Space-Time Great Emperor's return.
With the departure of these two great Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapons, no one in the Pangu Universe was worried, for they trusted the Sealing Gate, and even more so, they trusted Ye Chen, the Battle Saint King. Since he had opened the gates and personally witnessed the Sealing Gate transcend its tribulation and ascend, it could represent the two great Dao Weapons in guarding Pangu Pass.
Indeed, this was the case. The Sealing Gates heavily suppressed Pangu Pass, with the ten Quasi-Giant puppets transforming into ten colossal, boundless War God stone statues, emanating an aura of unparalleled battle prowess as they guarded the pass.
Moreover, the Sealing Gate's deity—the supreme deity refined from the Ten Thousand Ancient soul of the Devouring Heaven Emperor Sovereign—could awaken autonomously at any time, no less than having a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant constantly guarding Pangu Pass.
Thus, the Pangu Universe became as solid as a rock, impervious to external invasion.
Ye Chen entered seclusion once more, immersing his mind to focus on refining the many Giant enemies he had suppressed.
The Longevity Divine Emperor roared, constantly raging and struggling, desperate to break free.
However, Ye Chen personally suppressed him using the origin of his Chaos Small Universe. How firm and indestructible was that? It was utterly unshakable; even a First Generation Giant like the Longevity Divine Emperor could not succeed.
Ultimately, he had been completely and severely wounded by Ye Chen; now, it was even more impossible for him to struggle free.
Ye Chen took out a sphere-like artifact—the Sacred Heaven Realm of the Heavenly Race's Third Progenitor. This top-tier Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon, not inferior to the Longevity Realm, was something even Ye Chen regarded highly.
Now, his Chaos Small Universe had expanded to a staggering scale, no less than the upper realm of the Myriad Domains.
Furthermore, within it was the embryonic form of an upper realm, which had also grown tremendously. But today, he intended to rapidly perfect this embryonic upper realm, even complete it directly.
To achieve this, he needed to utilize the Sacred Heaven Realm, this great world-level Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon.
The Sacred Heaven Realm, as a top-tier Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon, was naturally difficult to shatter.
However, even First Generation Giants were no match for Ye Chen, let alone a mere Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon. Even if it was the most top-tier kind, it was still insufficient.
Ye Chen took action. After spending some time, he finally completely refined the Sacred Heaven Realm and began to fuse it within his Chaos Small Universe.
Rumble!—
A terrifying loud noise echoed as the Sacred Heaven Realm trembled, shaking all directions!
The Chaos Small Universe became even more stable, unbreakable, drawing closer to a complete Chaos Ancient Universe.
But Ye Chen did not emerge from seclusion immediately. Instead, he infused the Ten Heavenly Divine Light Rings into the Chaos Small Universe and discovered that it had become immeasurably more stable.
He pondered: the Ten Heavenly Divine Light Rings contained projections of the Heavenly Dao, yet the Chaos Small Universe had not yet given birth to a true Heavenly Dao. Perhaps this was the fundamental reason.
From then on, the Ten Heavenly Divine Light Rings completely merged into the Chaos Small Universe, ultimately giving rise to an embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, making the Chaos Small Universe considerably more complete.
Simultaneously, during his thirty-thousand-year recovery period, Ye Chen had come to understand something. Back when the Longevity Divine Emperor pressed down with the Absolute One Annihilation Array, it had not immediately shattered his Chaos Small Universe. At that time, he had thought: perhaps the reason the Absolute One Annihilation Array could destroy a Chaos Ancient Universe was not because the Chaos Ancient Universe was unstable, but because it lacked a true master or ruler to empower it, unable to fully mobilize the power of the entire Chaos Ancient Universe and only capable of passive defense.
Now, his Chaos Small Universe was more complete and powerful; even the Absolute One Annihilation Array would find it difficult to breach.
After completing all this, Ye Chen's figure moved, arriving at Panzhou, one of the Ten Great Provinces at the center of the Myriad Domains.
Panzhou, as one of the Ten Great Provinces at the center of the Myriad Domains, was where many Supreme Ones who had followed Ye Chen and others from the Origin Ancient Path had settled their respective Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans.
Among them was the Imperial Clan of the Shen Kong Great Emperor.
In the battle of old, the Shen Kong Great Emperor unfortunately fell in battle. The Shen Kong Imperial Clan plummeted from its most prosperous period. However, because the Shen Kong Great Emperor had fought for the Pangu Universe, the Pangu Universe provided special care. Various forces did not dare to bully the Shen Kong Imperial Clan, but even so, their voice and influence within Panzhou had diminished significantly. Life was ultimately somewhat difficult unless someone could prove their Dao and become an Emperor.
But proving one's Dao and becoming an Emperor—how easy was that? The Shen Kong Great Emperor had nine sons, considered quite many. Over the long ages, only three remained. Some had also been released from long-term seals and emerged, successively becoming Emperor Lords.
Yet, it was still difficult to prove their Dao and become Emperors.
Moreover, during his lifetime, the Shen Kong Great Emperor had friction with some Supreme Emperors.
In life, the Shen Kong Great Emperor was a Quasi-Giant, dominating all directions. Naturally, his Supreme Imperial Clan was very prestigious.
Now, with the Shen Kong Great Emperor fallen in a single battle, those Supreme Emperors naturally would not continue targeting them openly, and the Supreme Imperial Clans dared not target them overtly either. However, there were many behind-the-scenes maneuvers by some individuals.
Even in the Blood-Stained Epoch, this could not be stopped.
Various Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and Ten Thousand Ancient Giants could not intervene in these matters constantly, only issuing warnings.
Consequently, life had recently become somewhat difficult for the Shen Kong Imperial Clan.
Rumble!—
Ye Chen descended from the heavens, appearing within the Shen Kong Imperial Clan, drawing the attention of all sides.
