All sides watched intently.
Would the Chaos Heavenly Emperor agree?
Yet one had to admit, the choice was tempting. Becoming a peerless Giant of the Alien Ancient Universe, the already formidable Chaos Heavenly Emperor, once submitting to the Alien Ancient Universe's ownership, would be equivalent to gaining a powerful backer, fearing no one.
Moreover, given the strength and potential he had displayed, it was not impossible for him to become another existence akin to the Primordial Ancestor in the future. The Alien Ancient Universe would likely not suppress the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, and might even support him.
Furthermore, with the Chaos Heavenly Emperor serving as this connection, the Pangu Universe would not need to be destroyed.
Familiar Immortal Kings like Hunshi and Pandao watched in silence, not speaking to dissuade him. They had no right to dissuade him, and also felt ashamed over the recent events, not daring to dissuade him.
Ye Chen spoke: "If I join the Alien Ancient Universe, will you refrain from attacking the Pangu Universe? Will you spare its living beings?"
Modaozi said: "As long as the Pangu Universe is willing to agree, we naturally will not act against it. The goal of our Ancient Universe is merely to obtain the secret of eternity possessed by the Pangu Universe's Universe Origin. Of course, as a precaution, we will inscribe a control mark within your True Spirits, just in case."
The expressions of the various Giants changed slightly.
Inscribing a control mark within the True Spirit was equivalent to completely controlling everything—life and death, thoughts—everything would ultimately fall under absolute mastery.
If the alien race gained control over peerless Giants like the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, Tai Sheng Huang, and the Battle Saint Ancestor, there was no doubt their overall power would advance another step, and suppressing the Primordial Immortal Realm would not be a major issue.
After a brief silence, Ye Chen raised his eyes, looking directly at Modaozi, and said: "I refuse!"
"In that case, we have no choice but to destroy the Pangu Universe!" Modaozi's voice turned cold.
"No, the Pangu Universe will not be destroyed!" Ye Chen's voice suddenly rose.
Boom—
In an instant, he erupted with his ultimate combat power, immediately shaking the entire Primordial Immortal Realm and catching Modaozi completely off guard, sending his figure flying back, covered in blood.
Simultaneously, the vast phantom of the Chaos Small Universe became incredibly solid, as if the real Chaos Small Universe had manifested, evolving into the most boundless and vast Chaos Ancient Universe. This was him unleashing his strongest forbidden divine ability, 'Universe Creation'.
The birth of a universe to its final collapse and annihilation—all of this occurred within the span of creation and destruction, and was now completely accomplished, thoroughly enveloping Modaozi within. The most terrifying force of universal collapse struck Modaozi directly. Even a peerless Giant of Modaozi's half-step Overlord level was blasted into pieces, exploding apart.
From beginning to end, it happened so fast that by the time all the Giants reacted, they could only watch as Ye Chen used the Chaos Small Universe phantom to envelop the shattered Modaozi. Further reinforced by the suppression of the Chaos Great Cauldron, the Gate of Destiny, and the Spear of Judgment, he charged into the Immortal Dao Gate with lightning speed.
Moreover, he released his aura, directly blasting open the Immortal Dao Gate, severing the only passage between the Primordial Immortal Realm and the Pangu Universe.
Thus, the three Primordial Giants of the alien race like Hongtian Zhuzai, and other Giants aligned with the Alien Ancient Universe who wished to reach the Pangu Universe, could not cross over immediately.
"No, Chaos Heavenly Emperor, you seek death!"
Hongtian Zhuzai roared, his immeasurable demonic form charging forward.
Behind him, Da Hong Shengzun and Kong Zhi Shengzun followed closely.
However, the Immortal Dao Gate had already been blasted open, blocking the passage between the two realms. Even powerful Primordial Giants like them could not pierce through immediately. They could only watch this scene unfold, unleashing terrifying roars that shook the Primordial Immortal Realm.
"Go, leave the Primordial Immortal Realm, enter the Chaos Sea, rescue Master!"
The three alien Primordial Giants immediately left the Primordial Immortal Realm, entering the Chaos Sea to join the ranks of the other Giants. They intended to attack the Pangu Universe together, and also strike at the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to rescue Modaozi.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor, you cannot slay this venerable one, nor can you suppress this venerable one!" Although suppressed and blasted apart, Modaozi's expression remained unchanged as he spoke coldly. His exploded demonic form could still unleash infinite demonic might, shaking the Chaos Small Universe phantom and releasing the world-shaking power of a half-step Overlord.
The Chaos Small Universe phantom trembled incessantly, teetering on the brink, even swaying as if it might explode at any moment from the strain.
One had to admit, Modaozi was indeed powerful. Even with his demonic body and Ten Thousand Ancient Soul blasted apart, unable to unleash his peak power, he could still manage this.
"There's no need to slay you, only to suppress you briefly!" Ye Chen said. With a thought, his internal Chaos Small Universe continuously released Universe Power to reinforce the universe phantom. Moreover, the Chaos Great Cauldron manifested a divine avatar identical to himself, wielding the Spear of Judgment and bearing the Gate of Destiny, layering on suppression to gradually weaken Modaozi's resistance.
Meanwhile, while suppressing the momentarily reforming Modaozi, he successfully returned to the Pangu Universe.
Pangu Pass had long been shattered; it could not endure in a battle of that level.
In fact, the entire Pangu Universe was teetering on the brink. The myriad domains of the Upper Realm and the eight realms of the Lower Realm were shaking violently. Countless great stars continuously exploded, star domains collapsed, and stars were annihilated.
Vast domains were also sinking and collapsing...
And this was with the Pangu Universe's Giants having blocked over ninety percent of the shockwaves, and with the Supreme Ones within the universe taking action to protect it. Otherwise, the impact from the clash of those Giants would have instantly annihilated the myriad domains of the Upper Realm and the eight realms of the Lower Realm into nothingness.
Even so, the surviving remnants of the battle's shockwaves were still terrifyingly boundless, destabilizing the Pangu Universe.
Boom—
A Supreme One was grazed by a residual shockwave. Even though he evaded immediately, it was not enough. His Great Perfection Supreme Emperor Body could not withstand it—first cracking, then exploding apart. A torrent of blood light filled the skies above numerous great domains.
Only much later, with the help of other Supreme Ones, did he manage to reform. However, his Emperor Dao Origin was wounded, leaving a terrible injury.
This was because those shockwaves contained the most terrifying Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Principles and Ten Thousand Ancient Might, which even Supreme Ones found difficult to expel.
Although the Supreme Ones were not fighting on the front lines, the faint threads of residual battle energy generated from the combat could still cause Supreme Ones to explode, shattering their bodies and filling the heavens with blood light.
Several Supreme Ones even perished on the spot, unable to withstand shockwaves of that level.
One could imagine how terrifyingly immense the battle was.
The Chaos Heaven Mansion rose up, releasing layers of chaotic light. Numerous Chaos Emperor Formations also appeared, covering the entire Pangu Universe to block the battle's shockwaves. But even the Chaos Emperor Formations personally inscribed by Ye Chen in the past were insufficient; their effect was not great. After all, the level of combat was too high, and the number of participants was astonishing, enough to directly blast apart any Chaos Ancient Universe.
That the Pangu Universe had endured until now was truly remarkable.
