At this moment, the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord appeared, striding forth amidst endless streams of chaotic energy. Seeing the dazed expressions of the other two, he gave a bitter smile. "Not long after you entered the River of Time, the Eternal Night Domain vanished. It was the doing of the origin will. Its actions were swift, and I had no time to stop it."
In truth, even while heavily wounded, the origin will of the Eternal Night Domain was still stronger than the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord. It truly was not something he could have obstructed.
Donghuang looked deeply at Ye Chen for a long while before finally saying, "I believe it was likely afraid of you, Fellow Daoist Ye."
"Indeed, that is correct," the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord also nodded. "Brother Ye was able to devour the dark power of the Eternal Night Domain. The origin will probably fled out of fear that you would completely refine it."
Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless. He had planned to completely refine the Eternal Night Domain upon emerging, never expecting its origin will to have already seen through his intentions.
"Let's go. We should return to the Eternal Heaven Realm first!"
The three returned to the Eternal Heaven Realm. Because the Eternal Night Domain had vanished, the Heavenly Abyss that had originally spanned the key location above the Eternal Heaven Realm also began to repair itself.
Originally, the existence of the Heavenly Abyss was not only due to the tear created by the Origin Saint Clan in the past, but also because the origin will of the Eternal Night Domain had been continuously tearing it open with dark power over the years, ultimately maintaining it.
Now, with the disappearance of the Eternal Night Domain, the Heavenly Abyss lost the continuous tearing of dark power and began to truly repair itself.
On the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Eternal Heaven Realm, three Half-Step Overlords appeared.
Ye Chen looked at Donghuang and said, "The threat of the Eternal Night Domain has been completely eliminated, Donghuang. When will you return to the Primordial Immortal Realm? Your descendants are worried."
The Desolate Heaven Demon Lord said, "Donghuang, regarding the threat of the Eternal Night Domain, there is no need to worry. Once the Heavenly Abyss is completely repaired, even if the Eternal Night Domain returns, we need not fear it. Moreover, the origin will of the Eternal Night Domain was heavily wounded by us. I'm afraid it will take one or two epochs of recuperation to recover to its peak."
Donghuang nodded. "It is indeed time. In the past, I only wished to roam the Great Void and comprehend the Chaos Sea. I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, multiple epochs have passed, and I have even rebuilt an Immortal Indestructible Body. The Blood-Stained Epoch has long since begun, and the Alien Ancient Universe has been restless. The Donghuang Domain bears the brunt. Although other Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings will not sit idly by if something happens to the Donghuang Domain, ultimately, it is best for me to return."
The eyes of the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord held a trace of envy, and a surging fighting spirit flickered within them. "I truly envy you all, still able to wage war. Especially the Alien Ancient Universe, which is led by that old undying Primogenitor. I hear he commands several Half-Step Overlords. I very much wish to battle them."
As an innate Chaos Demon God born at the dawn of the Chaos Sea's creation, and especially as the strongest among them, the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord's veins flowed with Pangu's blood. He was a born warrior, thirsting for battle.
However, since achieving the Half-Step Overlord realm for endless eons, how many could truly fight him at his peak?
Ordinary Primordial Giants were simply not in his eyes.
Therefore, he had chosen to come to the Eternal Heaven Realm and remain dormant for endless ages.
Given a choice, he yearned for war. That was the true destination for a warrior like him.
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled. "Desolate Heaven, if you desire battle, in the future, if you are willing, you can fight alongside me. There will be no shortage of opponents, and you might even get to battle an Invincible Overlord."
The Pangu Universe constantly faced the threat of the Alien Ancient Universe. Although the Heavenly Emperor had returned, the Alien Ancient Universe also had the Primogenitor, an Invincible Overlord not inferior to the Heavenly Emperor, holding the fort.
In terms of peak power, the Pangu Universe was not inferior to the Alien Ancient Universe, but overall, the gap was vast.
This truth could be glimpsed from his solitary journey to the Alien Ancient Universe to face death in the past.
Ye Chen knew that back then, even when four Half-Step Overlords and over thirty Eternal Giants had all emerged, it still was not the full depth of the Alien Ancient Universe's reserves. Some extremely terrifying old undying beings were still hidden, very frightening.
He needed the help of other super-powerful experts, especially Half-Step Overlords like the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord. If he could pull him into the Pangu Universe's camp, it would reduce a lot of pressure.
The Desolate Heaven Demon Lord grinned. "I know, it's the Alien Ancient Universe. There are several Half-Step Overlords there, indeed very strong. If not for concerns about the innate Chaos Demon God lineage, I would have wanted to charge into the Alien Ancient Universe back then and have a good, satisfying slaughter."
Truly worthy of being an innate Chaos Demon God, he was indeed wild enough.
Ye Chen laughed heartily. These words could be considered as having won over the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord.
Of course, this was because the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord recognized Ye Chen, because they had fought side by side, and also because the Pangu Universe was indeed powerful, with the Heavenly Emperor, the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Defying Heaven War Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, and other Invincible Giants present, that he dared to agree.
Otherwise, none of these conditions could be missing!
"Desolate Heaven, you truly are battle-obsessed. Had I known earlier, I would have pulled you into the Primordial Immortal Realm to guard my Donghuang Domain. I would have been happy to take it easy," Donghuang said.
Ye Chen glared. "No way. The Primordial Immortal Realm can directly confront the Alien Ancient Universe, but the Pangu Universe hasn't reached that level yet. I can't let you have this guy, Desolate Heaven."
"Alright, alright, I won't fight you for him," Donghuang said, somewhat helplessly.
In truth, he hadn't planned to anyway; otherwise, he would have tried to win him over over the endless eons.
The Desolate Heaven Demon Lord grinned.
The three Half-Step Overlords discussed for a moment and reached a decision: Ye Chen and Donghuang would return to the Primordial Immortal Realm together.
The Desolate Heaven Demon Lord would continue to guard the Eternal Heaven Realm.
In truth, if not for the threat of the Eternal Night Domain, a single Half-Step Overlord was enough to guard the Eternal Heaven Realm. After all, in the Chaos Sea, those who could threaten a Half-Step Overlord were but a handful.
Moreover, there were many Great Celestial Venerates and Celestial Venerates here, forming an extremely terrifying lineup comparable to the strongest few Chaos Ancient Universes.
The two did not leave immediately. Ye Chen returned to the Main Heavenly Domain, where the Dark True Dragon and Dark Demonic Tiger were. He personally explored the dark power within the two Dark Giants.
Perhaps because they were within the Eternal Heaven Realm, the origin will of the Eternal Night Domain had not forced the two Dark Giants to return and join the battle.
However, this dark power was ultimately a hidden danger.
Ye Chen directly extracted the dark origin power from within the two Dark Giants. Once extracted, the two giants directly fell to the Quasi-Giant level. After all, they had become Eternal Giants by cultivating dark power in the Eternal Night Domain.
Of course, their own foundations were strong enough, which was why they only fell to the Quasi-Giant level and no further.
Ye Chen baptized them with his Chaos Blood, expelling the darkness, and guided vast amounts of Eternal Power into their bodies, allowing them to return to the Eternal Giant level, with the dark hidden danger completely eliminated.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not expend a large amount of Chaos Blood for nothing. The dark origin power within the two was too dense, causing his Chaos Great Dao to become even more complete.
Thus, after staying in the Eternal Heaven Realm for a few months, Donghuang also finished handling all matters. The Immortal Great Celestial Venerate also arrived, still following Ye Chen.
"Good, let's return to the Primordial Immortal Realm."
Tearing through the void, the group set off.
