"Not good, Emperor Shakyamuni might be in danger."
Six Paths Great Emperor's expression turned grave. Back when they rebelled from the Pangu Universe, Qingtian Dadi had also joined him, and was currently taking advantage of the situation to refine the Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe.
Since he had betrayed the Alien Ancient Universe, Qingtian Dadi was likely in peril as well.
Even though he claimed he and Qingtian Dadi were not on the same path, Shidai would most likely be suspicious. The outlook was grim!
Sure enough—
"Emperor Shakyamuni, do you truly believe that you have silently refined the Heavenly Dao of our Ancient Universe over this epoch, and now seek to refine the Universe Origin itself to become its master, all without my knowledge?" Shidai looked towards the Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe and spoke slowly.
His voice spread in all directions, drawing the attention of all heavens!
Immediately, the alien Giants' expressions changed!
Six Paths Great Emperor had rebelled, and now Qingtian Dadi had rebelled as well.
This meant that the two supreme, first-generation Giant-level powerhouses who rebelled during the Mythical Great Destruction had both betrayed them. Perhaps they had never truly submitted to the Alien Ancient Universe from the start, but had been lying in wait, acting as spies. It was all a scheme against the Alien Ancient Universe.
Six Paths Great Emperor was one thing, but Qingtian Dadi, Emperor Shakyamuni, had silently refined the Heavenly Dao of the Alien Ancient Universe over this epoch, succeeding and growing stronger. Now, taking advantage of their departure from the Ancient Chaos Universe, he had infiltrated the Universe Origin, attempting to refine the entire Ancient Chaos Universe's origin to become its master, just like the Universe Emperor of old.
"Emperor Shakyamuni!"
The alien Giants roared. What a Qingtian Dadi, Emperor Shakyamuni! He harbored such wolfish ambition, wanting to completely refine the Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe to become its master and turn it against them!
After all the respect they had shown Emperor Shakyamuni, even bestowing him with such supreme authority and status, he betrayed them like this in the end?
With a soft sigh, the boundless, majestic imperial shadow of Qingtian Dadi rose from the Universe Origin. He looked at Shidai and said, "As expected of the most terrifying mastermind of all time. You saw through it."
It was just a pity that he had still not truly refined the Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe, not even achieving one-tenth of it.
It was too difficult!
The Alien Ancient Universe was an Ancient Chaos Universe not inferior to the Primordial Immortal World. Although Qingtian Dadi had refined this Ancient Universe's Heavenly Dao, becoming perfectly attuned to the Alien Ancient Universe like a being born from it, he should theoretically be quite close to the Universe Origin.
In reality, during his attempts at refinement, the origin of the Alien Ancient Universe continuously generated resistance, preventing him from achieving complete success. He was still far from it.
The plan had failed!
"I gave you a chance—an entire epoch to refine the Universe Origin. Unfortunately, you have disappointed me," Shidai said indifferently.
Qingtian Dadi's face showed shock, then he sighed softly. "Indeed, worthy of a Chaos Sea overlord at the ultimate realm of Emperor. I thought no one would know, but I never truly escaped your sight."
At this point, he naturally believed Shidai's words were true.
He couldn't help but sigh. Shidai was indeed a terrifying figure, seeing through everything yet never intervening, even granting an opportunity.
Shidai said, "Since you wish to refine the Universe Origin of my Ancient Universe, I shall grant your wish and let you become one with the origin of my Ancient Universe."
Shidai made his move. A pale hand stretched out, transforming into an immeasurably large hand that covered the entire Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe, like a hand covering the sun, plunging the entire Alien Ancient Universe into darkness. An indescribable, earth-shattering mighty power boiled forth.
Although a world-shaking level of power erupted wildly, surging towards all corners of the Alien Ancient Universe and shattering the heavens—clearly Qingtian Dadi was resisting.
The Heavenly Dao mighty power of two Ancient Chaos Universes was erupting.
The unparalleled Heavenly Dao mighty power shook the entire Alien Ancient Universe. The alien Giants were astonished. In just one epoch, Qingtian Dadi's strength had grown so much. Moreover, he controlled the Heavenly Dao of two Ancient Chaos Universes, making him incredibly powerful, capable of harnessing the infinite cosmic power of the entire Alien Ancient Universe for his own use.
Heavenly Lord Hongtian, Great Hong Saint Venerable, Void Saint Venerable, and other first-generation Giants sucked in a cold breath. One-on-one, they would be no match for Qingtian Dadi.
How strong must Qingtian Dadi, who had integrated the Heavenly Dao of two Ancient Chaos Universes, be? He was likely on par with Chaos Heavenly Emperor, Mo Daozi, Aoyuan, and other Half-Step Overlords.
However, in the end, it was clearly visible that Qingtian Dadi's majestic imperial shadow was gradually fading, clearly no match for Shidai and in the process of being refined.
Finally, Qingtian Dadi's imperial shadow appeared, letting out a soft, sorrowful sigh. "I schemed for an epoch, yet ultimately fell short at the final step!"
Boom—
The imperial shadow exploded, transforming into infinite light rain that merged into the Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe.
Throughout the world, infinite phenomena manifested, spreading across the entire Alien Ancient Universe and surging out into the Chaos Sea!
A generation's Qingtian Dadi had fallen!
The entire world was shaken!
At the borderlands of the Alien Ancient Universe, amidst the endless alien army, Di Wentian, one of the commanders of the alien forces, was filled with immense grief. He nearly rushed over to see his father one last time, but ultimately restrained himself.
He knew he was no match for Shidai. Rushing over would only lead to his suppression by the alien race, becoming a prisoner with no hope of ever avenging his father.
"Father, wait for me. Your son will avenge you!"
Di Wentian shed tears of sorrow. Before all the alien powerhouses could react, he turned and left, using the escape technique taught to him by his imperial father, Qingtian Dadi. He vanished in an instant, leaving no trace.
He would immerse himself in cultivation, aiming one day to reach the pinnacle of strength, kill Shidai, and avenge his father.
Boom—
The next moment, an alien Quasi-Giant descended through space, personally searching for Di Wentian's whereabouts, but his expression turned ugly as he found nothing.
Even with his personal efforts to search and trace back through time, he could not locate Di Wentian's trail.
"Pass down the order: we must find Di Wentian!"
The alien Quasi-Giant personally issued the command, offering a heavy reward.
Since Qingtian Dadi had rebelled, his son Di Wentian naturally could not be spared.
Towards traitors, the alien race had always been ruthless.
"Emperor Shakyamuni..."
The Giants of the Pangu Universe sighed softly, showing sorrow. Qingtian Dadi had also fallen.
He was an important figure the Pangu Universe had planted within the Alien Ancient Universe during the Mythical Great Destruction war, intending to use him to catch the Alien Ancient Universe off guard in the final battle.
Who would have thought that both Six Paths Great Emperor and Qingtian Dadi would be exposed prematurely.
Six Paths Great Emperor had narrowly escaped disaster, but Qingtian Dadi had been refined within the Universe Origin of the Alien Ancient Universe.
"I did not wish to act personally, but matters have come to this. I can only end this ahead of schedule!"
Within the Ancestral Temple, Shidai personally made his move.
The strength of a Chaos Sea overlord was displayed. A giant finger traversed infinite regions, extended out of the Alien Ancient Universe, crossed the Chaos Sea, and pointed towards the Pangu Universe, carrying the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, shatter all eternity!
