Indeed, why should the Battle Saint King tell them.
Not long after, these foreign Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones left the Pangu Universe, fleeing at their fastest speed, which astonished all sides of the Chaos Sea. What exactly had happened?
But no one could understand how terrified these Quasi-Giants and Supreme Ones had been at that time, fearing that the Battle Saint King might, in a fit of rage, directly annihilate them all. If that happened, they would truly have no tears left to cry.
The various Giants had originally harbored covetous intentions. If the Pangu Universe truly possessed the head of the Origin Burial Master, they would even have slowly plotted to seize it.
But now, the hasty return of the many Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants made them rein in their ambitions somewhat, feeling it necessary to think twice before acting.
Another thousand-plus years passed. By this time, a full ten thousand years had elapsed since Ye Chen emerged from seclusion. Simultaneously, the injuries of the Cangxiong Great Heavenly Venerate had completely healed, and on this day, he came to bid farewell!
He was returning to the Ancient Chaos Universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located. Having been away for many years, he missed it dearly, especially now in this blood-stained epoch, as the situation grew increasingly unstable.
Although Ye Chen and the others were reluctant to see him go, they did not stop him. They stated that should a crisis arise in the Ancient Chaos Universe housing the Ultimate Ancient Path, he should send word immediately, and the Pangu Universe would rush to its aid at the first opportunity.
Thus, the Cangxiong Great Heavenly Venerate chose the path of the Dragon Phoenix Academy and returned to the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Time flowed on, and unknowingly, another seventy thousand years had passed since the great battle among the Giants of the Chaos Sea.
Because of Ye Chen, and also because of the fearsome reputation forged in that past battle, the Pangu Universe enjoyed seventy thousand years of peace—a rare occurrence, as the alien races dared not invade.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.
The name of the Battle Saint King was too resounding in the Chaos Sea, to the point where colossi from antiquity who had lived through multiple epochs were extremely wary of him.
And this year, Ye Chen's mastery of the Chaos Dao remained at the stage of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine parts out of ten thousand.
Unfortunately, the further one progressed in Chaos mastery, the more difficult it became to control.
In recent years, Ye Chen had made surprisingly little progress. After all, having reached his level of cultivation, there was truly no further room for advancement. The slightest bit of progress was incredibly arduous, requiring who knew how many eons to achieve.
It was a pity that over these tens of thousands of years, the Chaos Heavenly Mansion had not produced many Supreme Ones.
The Heavenly Dao environment had recovered to its former state, allowing people to prove their Dao and become Emperors. But to successfully prove one's Dao and become an Emperor required sufficient accumulation.
Accumulation, however, demanded a long stretch of time.
But the situation in the Chaos Sea was growing increasingly murky. During these seventy thousand years, another colossus from antiquity had fallen in the Chaos Sea.
Because another head of the Origin Burial Master had appeared, causing terrible casualties.
It even triggered a fearsome war involving multiple Ancient Chaos Universes.
As time gradually passed, more and more colossi from antiquity emerged one after another. There were Ancient Chaos Universes that collapsed. Even the Primordial Immortal Realm could not remain completely safe, for an incredibly shocking battle had once erupted right within the Primordial Immortal Realm.
It was said that a head of the Origin Burial Master had appeared and charged directly toward the Primordial Immortal Realm.
There were also rumors that a Supreme Immortal King had obtained this head of the Origin Burial Master in the Chaos Sea. On his way back to the Primordial Immortal Realm, he was discovered and pursued by multiple colossi from antiquity.
A terrifying mixed battle at the Giant level erupted directly, with far-reaching consequences. Multiple colossi from antiquity, sparing no cost, directly attacked the Primordial Immortal Realm.
An eternally indestructible Immortal King Pass located at the edge of the Immortal World was directly shattered. Multiple colossi from antiquity, whose might had shaken past and present, appeared together and directly invaded the Primordial Immortal Realm, once causing the collapse of multiple vast immortal domains.
On that day, at the location of the shattered Immortal King Pass in the Primordial Immortal Realm, over a dozen neighboring immortal domains directly disintegrated. Trillions upon trillions of Immortal World denizens were slaughtered by the might of antiquity, their forms and spirits utterly annihilated.
Even Supreme Immortals and Quasi-Immortal Kings who tried to intervene were casually slain in the process, their blood staining the Immortal World and dyeing multiple immortal domains red. This finally alarmed the deepest Immortal King Domain.
In the end, multiple Supreme Immortal Kings emerged in fury. Even an Immortal Venerate existence at the level of a Primordial Giant moved, leading the many Immortal Kings into battle. After a terrifying conflict and paying a great price—with multiple Supreme Immortals and several Quasi-Immortal Kings perishing—they finally suppressed and repelled the invading colossi from antiquity.
That peerless Immortal Venerate, in his fury, even killed one colossus from antiquity, making an example of him to warn the others and intimidate the many Giants. Only then did the Giants withdraw.
From then on, even the Primordial Immortal Realm could no longer maintain true peace. As powerful as it was, hailed as the number one Ancient Chaos Universe in the Chaos Sea, it could not remain completely unscathed.
However, the repeated emergence of Immortal Venerate existences at the Primordial Giant level served to once again intimidate the Chaos Sea.
"The Chaos Sea grows more chaotic by the day. Even the Primordial Immortal Realm cannot maintain complete peace."
"In this chaotic, blood-stained epoch, not even colossi from antiquity can claim to be utterly invincible. We should advance further, at the very least to the Quasi-Immortal King level. Otherwise, at the mere Supreme One level, it's already difficult to even protect ourselves." Ye Cangqiong sighed deeply.
So many tens of thousands of years had passed. Not only had he become an Ancient Great Emperor, he had also fully consolidated his cultivation. Benefiting from his connection to Ye Chen, he and other familiar Human Race Imperial Sons and Daughters, as well as Ancient Great Emperors, often discussed the Dao with this peerless Giant Ye Chen—though more often they listened to his lectures. Their comprehension of the Emperor Dao was no worse than that of many veteran Supreme Ones who had been stuck at the Supreme Emperor Realm for an epoch or more; in fact, it even surpassed theirs.
After all, those veteran Supreme Ones, after becoming Supreme Ones, basically relied on their own enlightenment. Advancing further was very difficult for them. But Ye Cangqiong and the others had the guidance of Ye Chen, a peerless Chaos Giant who surpassed even Primordial Giants. Naturally, they could directly resolve many cultivation-related problems.
However, even so, in a mere hundred thousand years or so, despite their rapid progress, they were still at the Great Perfection Emperor Realm Supreme One state. There was still a vast distance to becoming Quasi-Giants, let alone becoming colossi from antiquity—that was a long and arduous road indeed.
After all, not everyone was a monster like Ye Chen.
It was worth mentioning, however, that the Kunpeng Sovereign—the Ancient Sovereign who had followed Ye Chen back from the Ancient Chaos Universe housing the Ultimate Ancient Path—had already been stronger than ordinary Ancient Great Emperors after devouring the Heavenly Soul Great Emperor. Now, after over a hundred thousand years of frequently listening to Ye Chen's lectures and accumulating profound foundations, he had also broken through to become a Quasi-Giant.
He was very powerful, a Space-Time Quasi-Giant at that.
Over the years, he had remained by Ye Chen's side, deeply grateful to him, and had become a peerless powerhouse suppressing the foundation of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion.
The three Imperial Sons of the Divine Space Great Emperor, who were at the Imperial Lord level, had been entrusted by Ye Chen to the Kunpeng Sovereign for guidance all these years.
Because the Divine Space Great Emperor primarily cultivated the Space Dao, his offspring were the same. The Kunpeng Sovereign, who cultivated the Space-Time Dao, naturally found guiding these three twice as effective with half the effort. The three now held greater hope of proving their Dao and becoming Supreme Ones.
Similarly, Yaya also often followed the Kunpeng Sovereign in her cultivation. After all, as a World Tree, she was also a natural master of space-time.
Moreover, the Kunpeng Sovereign was very fond of Yaya, even doting on her. He spared no effort in his guidance, holding nothing back. With the aid of the World Tower, Yaya's cultivation in the Space-Time Dao soared rapidly, showing signs of becoming a Quasi-Giant.
