The Donghuang Domain shook violently, the origin of the Primordial Immortal Realm blazing even more intensely, billions of layers of rule power blocking the way.
"Not good!"
The three Immortal Kings' expressions changed drastically. They had never imagined such a scene. This was no longer something the three of them could handle.
The Seven Chaos Ancient Giants were too powerful. Led by a Primordial Giant, the invasion of seven giants had an impact on the entire Primordial Immortal Realm that was undoubtedly immense.
They tried to use the Donghuang Bell to repel them, but the effect was minimal. At best, they could only wound the Seven Chaos Ancient Giants. Especially the leader, the Flame Demon God, was unimaginably strong. Even the Donghuang Bell failed to inflict significant wounds!
After all, this was a Primordial Giant equivalent to a body refinement cultivator, a Primordial Chaos Demon God who had lived from the creation of the Chaos Sea to this era. Who knew how strong its physical body was? Even if an Immortal Venerable One were to strike, it would likely be difficult to effectively wound the Flame Demon God.
Boom—
At this moment, the Seven Chaos Ancient Giants truly took a step forward, their other foot also slowly and steadily stepping out. The three Immortal Kings found it truly difficult to block them even half a step.
The Dark True Dragon and the Dark Demon Tiger also stepped half a foot forward.
The invasion of the nine Dark Giants into the Primordial Immortal Realm was imminent.
Immortal King Tai Yu's expression shifted repeatedly before he sighed. "We can only invite the other Immortal Kings to act together. Only a combined attack from multiple Immortal Kings can repel them."
"That is the only way. Otherwise, once they invade the Primordial Immortal Realm, the Donghuang Domain will bear the brunt and could very well be pushed to the brink of destruction," Immortal King Hao Zun also sighed.
Naturally, the Donghuang Domain had more than just these few Immortal Kings. However, they all belonged to the Donghuang lineage—either members of the Donghuang Clan or Donghuang's direct disciples. The other Immortal Kings were old friends and followers of Donghuang from the past. They were not at the core of the Donghuang Domain but were stationed at the edges of the Immortal World, guarding several crucial Immortal King Passes.
But unless the outside world invaded the Primordial Immortal Realm and attacked the Immortal King Passes, these Immortal Kings were usually either in seclusion or deep slumber, often for an entire era or even several eras before awakening briefly.
At this moment, there was no other choice. The three Immortal Kings could hardly withstand the invasion of the nine Dark Giants. They could only invite the other Immortal Kings. If that failed, they would have to seek help from the many Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerable Ones of the central territories of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
"Look, who is that person?"
Suddenly, someone noticed a slender figure standing before the Heavenly Gate, unmoving. Even as the Seven Chaos Ancient Giants and the other nine Dark Giants took a step forward, releasing their most terrifying dark auras, he remained completely unaffected.
It was Ye Chen!
Yet, what was chilling was that such a dark aura would force even a Quasi-Immortal King back three paces, but Ye Chen stood firm as a mountain, unwavering, as if he were the most indestructible immortal peak in the world, impossible to shake.
"He is—"
The three Immortal Kings also noticed now, suddenly startled. Even they hadn't expected Ye Chen to withstand the aura impact of the Dark Giants without moving an inch.
That was definitely not something a Heavenly King could achieve.
"Is he the one who completely comprehended the final wisp of Master's Immortal Venerable origin?" Immortal King Hao Zun and Immortal King Jiu You were astonished. Yet, their expressions turned grave. Based on what Ye Chen was displaying now, this was far from something a mere Heavenly King could accomplish.
Moreover, comprehending it completely in just a moment?
How was that possible?
In the past, the shortest time anyone had taken to completely comprehend a wisp of Immortal Venerable origin was a full month.
"It's him!"
Donghuang Yanran and the other ten Great Perfection Supreme Geniuses were shocked to see Ye Chen, even more surprised that he could withstand the dark aura impact of the nine Dark Giants.
"Oh? There's actually someone who can withstand our auras without retreating. Is he an Immortal King?"
The nine Dark Giants also noticed Ye Chen. Compared to their size, comparable to a Chaos Primordial Great World, Ye Chen at his normal size was thousands of times more insignificant than a speck of dust, not worth mentioning.
But being able to resist the impact of their dark auras without moving indicated much. At the very least, he was a Quasi-Immortal King, and an extremely powerful one at that!
He might even be an Immortal King.
However, what puzzled everyone was that they sensed Ye Chen's realm aura—it was merely that of a Heavenly King, nothing more.
That shouldn't be.
Ye Chen calmly watched the nine Dark Giants who had already stepped one foot into the Primordial Immortal Realm through the Dark Heavenly Gate. "I don't want to fight, but you're blocking my path. I'll give you a chance. Withdraw, and I'll let bygones be bygones."
His words were plain, as if stating a trivial matter.
Yet, as his voice fell, the world fell into silence.
Not to mention the nine Dark Giants, even the experts on the Donghuang Domain side were dumbfounded.
Opening his mouth to tell the nine Dark Giants to withdraw on their own?
What kind of tone was that?
It was no ordinary arrogance!
The three Immortal Kings looked at Ye Chen with suspicion, seemingly wondering where he got the confidence to speak to the nine Dark Giants like that.
The gazes of the nine Dark Giants instantly turned countless times colder and more sinister. The eyes of the Seven Chaos Ancient Giants were especially icy to the extreme.
The temperature in this stretch of heaven and earth plummeted by who knew how many degrees. Even beams of their gazes materialized, descending like heavenly swords capable of injuring Sovereigns and even Quasi-Immortal Kings, containing immensely powerful soul force.
But they could not intimidate Ye Chen.
"Unwilling to withdraw?" Ye Chen frowned slightly, then sighed softly with a hint of helplessness. "In that case, I can only take action myself."
As his voice fell, just as the experts of the Donghuang Domain were secretly shaking their heads, thinking Ye Chen was a frog in a well, overestimating himself, and the nine Dark Giants were about to advance further, intending to annihilate this arrogant fellow's body and soul—
They saw Ye Chen simply throw a punch forward.
Without a trace of magical power.
Simple. Natural!
Boom—
The next moment, everyone was utterly dumbstruck.
A single punch was thrown, and the entire Donghuang Sacred City shook violently. The terrifying force even reverberated through the many immortal domains centered on Donghuang Sacred City, affecting multiple Immortal King Domains, displaying a power that could be called world-shaking.
"That is—"
Immortal King Tai Yu and the other two Immortal Kings stared unblinkingly at Ye Chen, their expressions shifting even more rapidly than when they had encountered the nine Dark Giants.
The nine Dark Giants also changed color in an instant. The feeling this punch gave them was as if the entire Primordial Immortal Realm was collapsing toward them, even more violent than the rejection of the universe's origin rules of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
It was as if a Chaos Ancient Universe was striking with its full force.
They could neither retreat nor avoid it. Because this seemingly slow punch was actually extremely fast and had completely locked onto all nine of them. Even if they could retreat through the Dark Heavenly Gate in an instant, or even teleport to other realms in a flash, it was useless.
This punch would land on them no matter what.
This was a premonition.
Boom—
The punch descended completely.
Heaven collapsed, earth split, the universe shook violently!
