Within the Donghuang Domain, Taiyu Immortal King had returned. He knew full well he was no match for a first-generation Giant like the Hong Tian Dominator, yet he could not stand idly by and watch his clansmen be slaughtered before his eyes. He struck out horizontally, his Immortal King radiance descending like endless starry rivers from the heavens, crashing towards the Hong Tian Dominator.
However, the Hong Tian Dominator merely sneered, "A mere trifling trick! How could it possibly harm this seat!"
Demonic light bloomed, directly dispersing all the Immortal King radiance and instead suppressing Taiyu Immortal King. The Hong Tian Dominator even took action, intending to suppress and kill Taiyu Immortal King on the spot.
Taiyu Immortal King resisted with all his might. Unfortunately, the gap between him and a first-generation Giant was far too vast. In the battle, he was completely at an absolute disadvantage, no match at all.
Yet, fortunately, he had entered the Donghuang Holy City and received its empowerment. It must be known that the Donghuang Holy City was left behind by his father, Donghuang. Before Donghuang departed in that bygone era, his cultivation was suspected to have reached the Half-Step Overlord level, or at least infinitely close to it. Therefore, the empowerment of Donghuang's power from the Donghuang Holy City actually caused Taiyu Immortal King's strength to surge dramatically, enough to contend with the Hong Tian Dominator.
However, pessimistically, the Great Cosmos Pass had been breached. The Alien Race Army was advancing unimpeded, and other first-generation Giants had also charged in. As long as a second Alien Race first-generation Giant arrived at the Donghuang Holy City, Taiyu Immortal King would inevitably be unable to withstand it, with a high likelihood of falling.
As for pinning hopes on Haozun Immortal King and Jiuyou Immortal King, that was also impossible, because the entire Donghuang Domain had been sealed off imperceptibly. The two Immortal Kings could not leave immediately, and the Donghuang Bell had only been able to tear through because it contained Donghuang's power. Therefore, the two Immortal Kings were being pursued by the other three Alien Race Giants and were locked in fierce battle.
Outside the Great Cosmos Pass, the Alien Race Army was advancing deep into the territory, with other Alien Race Giants also leading their armies in the assault.
At this moment, far beyond a single realm, the Chaos Sea suddenly trembled violently. An extremely terrifying, massive black hole appeared, madly devouring Chaos Qi. Within the black hole, a riot of colors swirled, and the power of time and space boiled—it was unmistakably a spacetime passage.
From within this spacetime passage, an enormous Primordial True Dragon emerged, incomparably massive. Standing atop its head were several figures: three people and a tiger.
They were naturally Ye Chen, Donghuang, the Immortal Great Celestial Venerate, the True Dragon, and the Demonic Tiger.
"It's been many epochs since we left the Immortal World, a very long time. I wonder how much has changed?" Donghuang had already sensed the aura of the Primordial Immortal Realm and let out a soft sigh.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, "That's something you'll need to experience for yourself."
Donghuang was about to speak further when suddenly, their expressions turned serious. Their gazes pierced through the vast sky, and they clearly saw everything happening at the Great Cosmos Pass.
They beheld the Great Cosmos Pass, which originally reached the heavens, now breached. The majestic walls of the Immortal King Pass had collapsed for billions of miles, completely piercing through the Primordial Immortal Realm and the Chaos Sea. An endless tide of the Alien Race Army was advancing unimpeded, slaughtering their way into the Great Cosmos Pass. The Immortal Division army defending the pass had suffered countless casualties.
Ye Chen was shocked. The Alien Race Army was actually attacking the Primordial Immortal Realm at this time, and had even breached an Immortal King Pass, advancing deep within!
The Immortal Great Celestial Venerate, the True Dragon, and the Demonic Tiger were also stunned. Wasn't the Primordial Immortal Realm said to be the number one Ancient Universe of the Chaos Sea? How dare anyone invade the Primordial Immortal Realm!
Even as the group was reeling in shock, they witnessed a True Immortal being slain, executed by an Alien Race Quasi-Giant. The immortal body exploded, blood staining the boundless immortal domain earth—a scene of utmost desolation.
Ye Chen recognized him; he was a True Immortal of the Donghuang Clan, who had attained the Dao and become an immortal only at the end of the Mythical Epoch, still relatively young.
"What audacity, Alien Ancient Universe! You dare attack my Donghuang Domain, slaughter the descendants of my Donghuang Clan! It seems that after my absence for many epochs, the Alien Ancient Universe has forgotten this seat's existence!"
Donghuang had always been considered a relatively gentle ancient Immortal Venerable One. Even though his cultivation had reached the Half-Step Overlord level, he rarely bullied others by relying on his power. For him to speak so rarely in this manner now showed just how furious he was.
Boom—
Donghuang advanced, and Ye Chen and the others followed, beginning to cross realms and return to the Primordial Immortal Realm.
The distance of a single realm was absolutely no distance for a Half-Step Overlord; it could be crossed in no time at all.
Within the Great Cosmos Pass, because the four most powerful Alien Race Giants had already entered the Donghuang Domain to pursue the three Immortal Kings—Taiyu Immortal King and the others—the strongest among the Alien Race Army were the Quasi-Giants. However, the Alien Race Army had meticulously prepared; the number of Quasi-Giants could reach as many as eight, a truly astonishing quantity.
In contrast, the number of Quasi-Immortal Kings at the Great Cosmos Pass was only three.
Eight Alien Race Quasi-Giants besieging three Quasi-Immortal Kings—the outcome was predictable.
Now, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings could only struggle bitterly, hoping for rescue from other Immortal Kings or Immortal Venerable Ones.
One of the Quasi-Immortal Kings bore a resemblance to Taiyu Immortal King, equally divine and handsome. He was Donghuang's third son, Donghuang Sheng, also possessing astonishing talent. That he had cultivated to the Quasi-Immortal King level spoke volumes. It must be known that even among the descendants of many Immortal Venerable Ones and first-generation Giants, not many could cultivate to the Quasi-Immortal King or Quasi-Giant level.
He wielded a great sword, meeting the enemy head-on. The most brilliant immortal radiance bloomed from his body, though he was also covered in blood with many injuries. Yet he remained calm, saying, "Alien Ancient Universe, reinforcements from our Primordial Immortal Realm will arrive soon. Other Immortal Kings, even Immortal Venerable Ones, will descend. You will pay the price for today's actions."
All three Quasi-Immortal Kings firmly believed that other Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerable Ones would soon come to their aid.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that the entire Donghuang Domain had been sealed off. Even powerful Immortal Kings could not send messages smoothly, nor could they break through and leave immediately.
"Useless! The Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerable Ones of your Primordial Immortal Realm will not appear. The Donghuang Domain was sealed long ago. All nine Immortal Kings of the Donghuang Domain are destined to fall, let alone you three Quasi-Immortal Kings. Accept your deaths obediently!"
An Alien Race Quasi-Giant sneered ferociously, attacking with a war spear that carried faint threads of power from antiquity, shattering the nine heavens as it arrived.
Donghuang Sheng clashed with him, but at that moment, another Alien Race Quasi-Giant seized the opportunity to strike, instantly severing one of his arms. Immortal blood sprayed.
The situations of the other two Quasi-Immortal Kings were also dire, besieged as they were by eight Alien Race Quasi-Giants. If this continued, even if they weren't slain, they would inevitably perish from exhaustion.
Boom—
Just as the three Quasi-Immortal Kings were teetering on the brink of danger, an indescribably vast and mighty force swept past. The eight Alien Race Quasi-Giants were struck as if by lightning, each sent flying. Their Quasi-Giant bodies cracked, and they coughed up great mouthfuls of blood, looking at the newcomer in horror.
Who was it that could so easily blast away and even injure all eight of them? It must be known that even an Ancient Giant would find it difficult to accomplish such a feat.
The three Quasi-Immortal Kings were also astonished and suspicious. They raised their heads to look at the figure entering from the Chaos Sea. Resplendent immortal light flooded down, and the injuries on their bodies actually began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It must be known that their wounds were inflicted by the eight Alien Race Quasi-Giants, each laceration containing terrifying Alien Race Imperial Laws. Even with their strength, they found it difficult to expel them and heal the wounds. Yet now, in the blink of an eye, they were completely expelled, vanishing without a trace, and their injuries even recovered.
Could it be an Immortal King? But even an Immortal King seemed incapable of such power?
An Immortal Venerable One?
Involuntarily, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings also considered this possibility, their hearts trembling.
However, Donghuang Sheng felt his immortal blood boiling inexplicably within him, as if encountering a closest kin. It circulated rapidly again and again, to the point where his entire person recovered to his peak state in an instant. He vaguely saw, within the boundless immortal light, that majestic figure—so familiar. Tears welled up in his eyes as he cried out, "Father!"
