At this moment, Ye Junlin's formidable power was completely exposed. By now, he had already become a peerless and matchless supreme Giant!
"So strong!"
"Following the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, another supremely powerful young Giant has risen. The descendants of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor are truly each more heaven-defying than the last!"
A Giant couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Such strength was truly astonishing.
How many tens of thousands of years had he cultivated? He was already comparable to Primordial Giants who had cultivated for multiple epochs. It was truly difficult to imagine how far he could go in the future.
Boom—
Ye Junlin, wreathed in chaotic light, just like Ye Chen of old descending upon the world, strode towards the three Half-Step Overlords, Aoyuan and the others. His voice was cold and brimming with killing intent: "Your bodies are stained with my father's blood. I will kill you to sacrifice to my father!"
However, the three alien Half-Step Overlords, led by Aoyuan, swept him a cold glance. Aoyuan made his move, saying indifferently, "Though you are very young and very strong, you are ultimately not yet at our level. Since you have come, I don't mind nipping a peerless genius in the bud, one not inferior to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor by much."
Aoyuan struck out, directly swatting towards Ye Junlin.
Ye Junlin immediately felt boundless pressure, knowing Aoyuan was far, far stronger than himself. Yet he showed no fear. With a great roar, he brandished his Emperor Sword and charged forward.
Boom—
Aoyuan's great hand could shatter everything and severely wound a Primordial Giant. But Ye Junlin's entire body burned with blazing chaotic light, stubbornly and forcibly withstanding the blow.
"Oh? You are truly not bad, actually able to withstand a strike from me. Though you have not yet reached our level, given time, it is not impossible for you to reach this stage one day." It was clear Aoyuan held great appreciation for Ye Junlin, acknowledging his strength and potential, yet his killing intent remained equally strong.
Boom—
Ye Junlin went forward fast, but retreated even faster, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood as his figure was sent flying. It was evident he was no match for Aoyuan and the other Half-Step Overlords at all.
Aoyuan naturally had no desire to watch a peerless genius like Ye Junlin continue to grow.
One Chaos Heavenly Emperor was already enough of a threat to the Alien Ancient Universe. If they allowed another to grow unchecked, he might not be much inferior to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, perhaps even becoming a second Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
The three alien Half-Step Overlords, disregarding face, joined forces to kill their way over, their sole fundamental purpose being to slay Ye Junlin.
They also believed the Heavenly Emperor would inevitably be restrained by Shidai.
Boom—
Suddenly, the three alien Half-Step Overlords, Aoyuan and the others, felt that the path ahead, which should have been very close—mere hundreds of millions of miles being nothing in their eyes, a step could cross it—yet no matter how they charged forward, an immense distance always stretched before them, impossible to smoothly traverse.
"Is it space-time, or multiple layers of folded space-time?"
Aoyuan's expression turned ugly. With his abilities as a Half-Step Overlord, how could he not see? Moreover, this was no ordinary space-time folding. Each layer of space-time was reinforced by special mighty power. Hundreds of millions of layers of space-time folded simultaneously, instantly turning a short distance into the ends of the earth. Even powerful as they were, they could not effectively cross it in a short time.
"Who is it?"
The three alien Half-Step Overlords shouted coldly. This naturally could not truly stop the three of them, but it could greatly delay the time it took them to advance, giving Ye Junlin time to escape.
"Gentlemen, turn back!"
A supreme Giant appeared, bringing with him rolling space-time power that swept across the six directions and eight poles, truly earth-shattering, even truly stirring the River of Time.
From within the Pangu Universe, a Dao Pagoda flew out, hovering above his head, resonating with him. Then it evolved into heaven and earth, giving rise to an eternal divine tree that established the myriad heavens. Each leaf and branch supported a great world, each branch pierced through different space-times, connecting the myriad heavens!
The World Tree!
A figure with the ethereal grace of an immortal appeared before the World Tree.
Seeing his appearance, the Giants from all sides were shocked once more!
He was none other than the Time-Space Great Emperor!
The Time-Space Great Emperor had returned! Back then, he had not remained in the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path, but had ventured to a mysterious, unknown place. Clearly, it was related to rescuing the Heavenly Emperor.
Thinking carefully, the space-time mighty power left on that stretch of the River of Time—wasn't it precisely left by the Time-Space Great Emperor?
Moreover, the reason Tai Sheng Huang and the others were able to return from the Eternal Unknown Land was obviously also thanks to the help of the Time-Space Great Emperor.
The highest achiever in the Great Dao of space-time throughout the ages! Even the Heavenly Emperor, Shidai, the Universe Great Emperor, and others had never surpassed the Time-Space Great Emperor in this aspect. That spoke volumes!
Even the Eternal Unknown Land, said to be a place from which even Primordial Giants never returned, had not truly trapped the Time-Space Great Emperor.
Now that his task was accomplished, the Time-Space Great Emperor had naturally returned!
The alien Giants, however, changed color. The Pangu Universe had supreme Giants returning one after another. Now, even the most troublesome Time-Space Great Emperor had returned. This was becoming very troublesome.
Indeed, the most troublesome!
The Time-Space Great Emperor was the highest achiever in space-time throughout the ages, with none surpassing him, especially in matters of space-time. Just like moments ago, he instantly generated hundreds of millions of layers of folded space-time, blocking the three alien Half-Step Overlords. His ability was evident.
If he truly took action, he could cause immense trouble for the alien Giants.
Even trapping multiple alien Giants would not be a major problem.
With him alone, the Pangu Universe could basically reduce the threat posed by the alien Giants to a minimum.
And indeed, that was the case. The moment he returned, the Time-Space Great Emperor took action, performing a space-time severance on the contact point between the Pangu Universe and the Chaos Sea.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
In just a few short breaths, countless, endless layers of space-time visibly emerged, severing the direct contact between the Pangu Universe and the Chaos Sea.
Anyone wishing to enter the Pangu Universe must now pass through these infinite layers of space-time to truly enter.
However, these endless layers of space-time were personally deployed by the Time-Space Great Emperor, imbued with extraordinary space-time mighty power. A single ordinary layer of space-time would take a Supreme Emperor a long time to break through, let alone these infinite layers. Even a Half-Step Overlord would find it an immense headache, requiring a certain amount of time to break through and cross.
That time might not be long, but it was enough for the Pangu Universe to make corresponding preparations.
More importantly, now that the Heavenly Emperor had successfully returned—an invincible, peerless Overlord-level existence of the present age—the Pangu Universe was no longer the Chaos Ancient Universe that could be bullied at will as it was in the past.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at Shidai and said, "Withdraw your troops."
Shidai fell silent. With the Heavenly Emperor's return and the Time-Space Great Emperor's return, even if the alien forces exhausted their hidden reserves, it would be difficult to pose much of a threat in a short time.
After all, the Pangu Universe today was vastly different from before. A single Heavenly Emperor alone could pose a tremendous threat.
Only those who were also peerless Overlords could truly understand each other's power.
A casual strike could severely wound a Primordial Giant-level Six Paths Great Emperor. That spoke for itself.
The Qingtian Great Emperor had also been refined without any ability to fight back.
