Boom—
Chaotic blood radiance exploded. Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen, under such a concentrated assault, could not remain truly invincible. Half of his Chaos Saintly Body was blown apart, blood light surging wildly.
Yet, seizing this opportunity, he successfully broke through the interception of the three alien Primordial Giants and rushed to the Immortal Dao portal connecting the Primordial Immortal Realm to the Pangu Universe, on the verge of crossing over and returning.
Silently, a sudden, bone-chilling sense of crisis arose in his heart.
What was happening?
Ye Chen silently saw a figure standing upon the Immortal Dao portal. Compared to the sky-high portal, it seemed as insignificant as dust, so much so that even he hadn't paid it much attention.
Yet, it was precisely this person—seemingly ordinary, frail—who, the moment he bared his teeth in a grin at Ye Chen, made Ye Chen feel nothing but sheer terror.
It was as if he had been targeted by the most terrifying, vicious entity in the world.
"Battle Saint King? No, Chaos Heavenly Emperor. This venerable one has been waiting for you for a long time!"
The seemingly frail figure spoke, then, as if teleporting, appeared before Ye Chen from the portal and threw a punch.
The moment that seemingly light, drifting fist came hurtling towards him, Ye Chen felt as if his entire body was about to explode—a sensation he hadn't experienced since becoming a Giant.
Who was this person, to be able to evoke such a feeling in him? He was far from simple.
Ye Chen dared not be careless. He swung his Chaos Saintly Fist to meet the blow.
Boom—
The collision of the two unleashed terrifying power that scattered outwards, causing the Primordial Immortal Realm to tremble violently. The Immortal Dao light screen released by the Immortal King's mark directly shattered. Dozens of immortal domains in the vicinity instantly collapsed and sank. All living beings within, including supreme immortals at the Emperor level, were reduced to ashes in an instant.
Pfft—
Ye Chen's arm snapped, his fist shattered. That punch landed squarely on his chest, piercing clean through from front to back with a sickening crunch.
Trailing endless chaotic blood light, Ye Chen's figure was sent flying backwards. He looked at this person with a gaze tinged with shock.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor? Nothing more than this. How dare someone like you claim to be the overlord of the Chaos Sea?"
The mysterious man sneered, filled with merciless mockery.
Within the Primordial Immortal Realm, the various Giants were also greatly astonished. Who exactly was this person, to have defeated the invincible Chaos Heavenly Emperor in a direct confrontation?
It was unbelievable!
One must know that in all these years since Ye Chen had become a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant, he had been virtually undefeated.
Now, a mysterious man appearing out of nowhere had sent the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, capable of slaying Primordial Giants, flying. Just what level of strength did that represent?
"Master, you have finally arrived!"
Hongtian Zhuzai spoke. This address shocked all parties.
This mysterious man was Hongtian Zhuzai's Master?
One must remember, Hongtian Zhuzai was a Primordial Giant, an invincible powerhouse who rose during the early days of the Chaos Sea, now sweeping all before him with no match to be found. So, how terrifying must the mysterious man who taught such a Primordial Giant be?
"We pay our respects to Senior Modaozi!"
The two alien Primordial Giants, the Great Hong Saint Venerable and the Void Saint Venerable, spoke.
"Modaozi?"
"That name is unfamiliar. We've never heard of such a person existing in the Chaos Sea."
Many Giants shook their heads. The title 'Modaozi' was far too obscure. Even many Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants, who had existed for multiple epochs and could be considered widely knowledgeable, had never heard of this name at this moment.
However, the Finality Immortal Venerable, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis, and several other Primordial Giants present revealed expressions of shock and horror. "Modaozi? It's actually him? And he's still alive?"
Perhaps the name Modaozi was unheard of now, but in that distant era, tracing back to the early days of the Chaos Sea, the name Modaozi was like a thunderclap to the ears, shaking all sides. Who didn't know of it? Who hadn't heard of it?
In the early Chaos Sea, Modaozi represented the invincibility of the Chaos Sea.
At that time, the Origin Saint Race ruled the Chaos Sea. The Heavenly Emperor did not appear, the Primordial Generation remained hidden, but Modaozi had already become a Giant of his generation. He dominated through the Demon Dao, slaughtering in all directions. His methods were cruel, his strength immense. Even the Origin Saint Race was somewhat wary of him, unwilling to provoke him lightly.
Later, it was suspected that because Modaozi killed a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant of the Origin Saint Race, it ultimately led to the Origin Saint Race's Progenitor personally taking action to kill him.
However, Modaozi's reappearance in the world now was enough to prove that the Origin Saint Race's Progenitor had not succeeded in killing him back then.
The Divine Emperor narrowed his eyes. He could sense Modaozi's power, which made him feel a great threat, but he was also curious. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor was strong; he shouldn't be so fragile as to be crushed so easily.
Modaozi's figure appeared emaciated, but within that frail body lay unimaginable power. From a distance, he seized the neck of Ye Chen's half-shattered fleshly body, tilting his head. His face, so ordinary it could be lost in a crowd, was full of scorn. "Chaos Heavenly Emperor? Too weak. Utterly unworthy of being called a Heavenly Emperor. Die!"
His palm suddenly exerted force. A power sufficient to make any Giant's heart tremble erupted from his palm, then violently blew apart the remaining half of Ye Chen's Chaos Saintly Body.
Crushing like rotten wood!
All living beings were shocked. Modaozi's ability was terrifying to such an extent!
Even one as invincible as the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had, by this day, helplessly met such a miserable end. It couldn't help but make people sigh.
Hongtian Zhuzai was ecstatic. "Master, mighty and majestic! Although this brat Chaos Heavenly Emperor is young, he has made our Ancient Universe pay a heavy price these past years. Now that you, venerable elder, have taken action, no matter how strong he is, he cannot escape death!"
The Great Hong Saint Venerable and the Void Saint Venerable said, "Senior Modaozi's demonic might overshadows the world. Even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor is nothing more than this!"
They also sighed inwardly. Against the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, even the three of them joining forces had only fought to a stalemate. Yet today, with Modaozi's single move, he directly displayed an invincible posture of crushing decay.
Now, as long as they captured his Eternal Soul and refined it, they could successfully kill him.
Suddenly, Modaozi let out a sound of surprise.
"Senior Modaozi, what is it?" The Great Hong Saint Venerable and the Void Saint Venerable didn't understand.
Hongtian Zhuzai was also rather puzzled.
"How strange. This venerable one cannot sense the true, precise location of this brat's Eternal Soul for the moment," Modaozi frowned.
Hongtian Zhuzai said, "Perhaps, Master, you accidentally crushed the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Eternal Soul too thoroughly, causing it to be too scattered. Any fragment is a piece of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Eternal Soul."
The Void Saint Venerable said, "Daoist Hong Tian speaks truly."
But Modaozi shook his head. "No, it's not that his Eternal Soul is too shattered. It's that it cannot be sensed at all—as if it has been completely destroyed!"
The three alien Primordial Giants were stunned, and at this moment, they couldn't help but frown.
They had to acknowledge Modaozi's strength, but no matter how strong he was, wanting to completely annihilate the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Eternal Soul... however one looked at it, it didn't seem very possible.
No matter how lacking the Chaos Heavenly Emperor might be, he was still someone capable of matching the three of them alone!
