One domain after another collapsed. Even the destructive light flames detonated by multiple Ten Thousand Ancient Giants were torn apart, creating an extremely terrifying shockwave that sent both the Pangu Universe and the Alien Ancient Universe—two chaotic ancient universes—flying backward a considerable distance.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen could not be completely invincible. Under the combined assault of four opponents, his form soon cracked. His indestructible Chaos Saint Body became densely covered in fissures, like fragile porcelain on the verge of shattering at any moment.
He coughed up great mouthfuls of blood, wounded both inside and out. He immediately consumed his Chaos Origin to continuously repair his injuries, forcibly suppressing the damage.
Furthermore, priceless tenth-rank Emperor Pills, one after another, transformed into vast medicinal power to restore his wounds.
In the current era, aside from the Alchemy Emperor, probably only Ye Chen would dare to be so extravagant, directly refining handfuls of tenth-rank Emperor Pills.
Of course, by consuming Emperor Pills so recklessly, Ye Chen managed to recover significantly from his injuries, both superficial and the Dao wounds.
Simultaneously, power from the Chaos Small Universe within him surged forth endlessly, empowering him, even exceeding the limits that the Chaos Small Universe could bear.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen would not mobilize excessive Chaos Small Universe power, because once a certain limit was exceeded, the Chaos Small Universe could not maintain its own balance and would show signs of collapse due to imbalance.
But now, everything was disregarded.
The combined internal and external assault from four Half-Step Overlords presented a situation of ten thousand deaths and one life.
If he died, what use would the Chaos Small Universe be?
Ye Chen erupted with his full power. The Chaos Small Universe's power continuously empowered him, pushing his strength even further. He fought the three Half-Step Overlords outside while simultaneously suppressing Modaozi within, displaying the most formidable strength of his life.
Infinite bloody light erupted—some from enemies, some from himself—scattering across the Chaos Sea.
Boom—
Finally, a taboo was broken.
The vast and boundless River of Time manifested in its complete form, descending from the heavens. Several Half-Step Overlords all charged into it, a battle that truly shook the ancient and illuminated the present!
Ye Chen and the others had essentially fought their way into another dimension.
The battle on the River of Time was even more intense.
Especially for Ye Chen, the situation was far from optimistic. He faced attacks from three Half-Step Overlords outside while Modaozi struck from within—a pincer attack from both sides.
Even though Modaozi was largely suppressed, able to exert less than seventy percent of his peak combat power, he was still far superior to an original-generation Giant.
Boom—
The Sealing Gate shattered nine layers; the final layer was half-destroyed. The divine artifact forged with the souls of Ten Thousand Ancient Times was nearly annihilated.
The Gate of Fate shattered into countless pieces. The Spear of Judgment broke into many segments.
The Chaos Immortal Armor exploded into fragments.
The Chaos Great Cauldron split into three parts; the remaining cauldron body was covered in infinite cracks.
The Heaven-Wastage Great Halberd snapped!
Six Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapons were nearly destroyed.
Half of Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body also shattered, blood mist drifting, carrying strands of chaotic lightning as he was sent tumbling into the distant reaches of the River of Time.
This was the desperate situation Ye Chen currently faced—a situation of ten thousand deaths and one life!
Of course, Ye Chen had also severely wounded the three alien Half-Step Overlords and once again dealt heavy damage to Modaozi within him, achieving an astonishing battle record worthy of being inscribed in the annals of the Chaos Sea.
The observing Giants from various forces were shaken, forced to admit that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had indeed reached a height they could not hope to match, a height they could only look up to.
However, his injuries were far more severe than those of the other alien Half-Step Overlords.
If this continued, he would undoubtedly die!
"Ye Chen!"
The Battle Saint Ancestor, Tai Sheng Huang, the Heaven-Defying War Lord, the Human Emperor, and others were just about to intervene, but other alien Giants quickly arrived. Their numbers were sufficient, and they wielded the most formidable ancient killing formations, like the Absolute One Slaughter Formation, to deal with them, preventing them from supporting Ye Chen immediately.
Most importantly, they themselves were unable to spare the effort. Once they left, the Pangu Universe would face a full-scale invasion by the horde of alien Giants.
Deep within the Primordial Immortal Realm, a strand of immortal light bloomed, revealing a figure who was also a Quasi-Immortal King. Layers of flawless immortal light surrounded him, as if piercing through various ancient universes, radiating a mysterious brilliance.
This Quasi-Immortal King appeared very young, as if in his early twenties, possessing a unique temperament. At this moment, he gazed into the distance toward the Chaos Sea, witnessing Ye Chen being besieged by alien Half-Step Overlords, and revealed a peculiar expression. "A pity. I have not yet reached my peak and cannot participate in this battle."
Beside him, several Supreme Immortals served as his followers—more than two or three—appearing very respectful yet also worried. "Your Majesty Yuan Yao, you must not interfere in such a war. You have not yet reached your ultimate peak."
"I'm sorry, Battle Saint King. I cannot help you now. If I had a bit more time, perhaps I could become your ally. For now, I am powerless," the Quasi-Immortal King spoke, a note of helplessness in his tone.
Elsewhere, in another part of the Primordial Immortal Realm, a man as transcendent as a banished immortal also pierced through everything with his gaze, observing the events unfolding in the Chaos Sea from afar. He let out a sigh. "Give me a bit more time, and I could face those old monsters at their peak. Unfortunately, time does not permit. Qian Yue, I'm sorry. I will take good care of your sisters."
In the Chaos Sea, a supremely powerful Quasi-Giant-level figure appeared. Yet his true realm was merely that of an Eternal Monarch. After observing the battle, he fell into deep silence. "Back then, I did not hesitate to abandon my original-generation Giant cultivation to reincarnate and be reborn, all to become an Eternal Quasi-Monarch like the Heavenly Emperor or the Primordial Ancestor, then break through everything to become a true supreme Overlord, even aspiring to the Eternal Realm. But seeing this today, though we are both in the Eternal Monarch realm, I am far inferior to you. I am destined never to reach such heights."
"Starting today, I must also make a breakthrough, officially become a Giant, and then strive for the heights you currently occupy."
He was none other than Di Yongheng, who once rivaled Ye Chen on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking. Also an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, he had now become an Eternal Monarch. Relying on the immense advantages accumulated earlier, his strength was no less than that of a Quasi-Giant, a figure who could truly shock the ancient and the present.
However, witnessing another in the Chaos Sea who swept through everything—Ye Chen, capable of contending with three Half-Step Overlords simultaneously—all his pride had long since quietly vanished.
Even as the reincarnated body of a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant, he was far inferior to Ye Chen. It was better to break through his realm sooner, return to his former state, and perhaps advance further on that foundation to become an even more powerful Giant. Maybe becoming a Half-Step Overlord like Modaozi was not impossible.
"Today, we shall exterminate the Chaos Heavenly Emperor! We shall exterminate the Pangu Universe!"
The three alien Half-Step Overlords spoke coldly, exerting force together in a combined assault. Ye Chen was drenched in blood; even the phantom of the Chaos Small Universe surrounding his body disintegrated, affecting the real origin Chaos Small Universe within, which began to collapse. But he paid it no heed.
He alone blocked all the alien Half-Step Overlords, preventing them from effectively attacking the Pangu Pass.
Even though Tai Sheng Huang and the others broke through the encirclement multiple times to aid Ye Chen, he stopped them each time.
