At this moment, the Tianjue Ancient Universe, having been pierced through by the Alien Ancient Universe's attack, had infinite cracks appearing on its cosmic boundary walls, showing signs of imminent collapse. A colossal black hole, vast beyond measure, had penetrated the entire Tianjue Ancient Universe.
Through this black hole, one could vaguely see the devastation within the Tianjue Ancient Universe—the common people suffering, the great universe stained with blood. The strongest Ancient Giants had fallen, the massive remains of various Supreme Beings drifting in the dead silence of the cosmic void, with only faint sounds of mournful weeping occasionally heard.
As Shidai personally gave the order, amidst a rumbling roar, an enormous black hole suddenly manifested on the surface of the Alien Ancient Universe. It was as if this Chaos Ancient Universe had opened its maw, slowly beginning to devour the Tianjue Ancient Universe.
Visible to the naked eye, the moment it was devoured, the Tianjue Ancient Universe, already on the verge of disintegration, rapidly shattered apart. Its boundary walls crumbled, transforming into the purest Chaos currents that surged toward the devouring black hole of the Alien Ancient Universe.
The entire Chaos Sea was shaken. The Alien Ancient Universe had actually devoured the Tianjue Ancient Universe!
This scene even startled the ten Half-Step Overlords from the two Chaos Ancient Universes who were currently battling in the Chaos Sea. Especially the five Half-Step Overlords from the Pangu Universe—their expressions changed drastically.
The Alien Ancient Universe had ultimately succeeded in its sinister plot!
"No! We cannot allow the Alien Ancient Universe to devour the Tianjue Ancient Universe. I have a bad premonition!"
Ye Chen's expression changed, his heart racing incessantly. This was a palpitation of dread. He quickly sent a mental message to the four Half-Step Overlords—the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Defying War Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, and the Space-Time Great Emperor: "Seniors, please stop the Alien Ancient Universe's devouring action. I have an ominous feeling."
The Battle Saint Ancestor and the others naturally felt the same. They didn't understand the Alien Ancient Universe's actions, but they were undoubtedly profound, possibly involving many things. Naturally, they could not allow it to happen and immediately prepared to act.
However, Aoyuan, Jue, and the other four Half-Step Overlords would not permit the Battle Saint Ancestor and his group to interfere. They swiftly attacked, entangling them and leaving them unable to focus elsewhere.
"I'll go!"
On the Pangu Pass, Ye Junlin appeared. Wreathed in Chaos energy, like a second Chaos Heavenly Emperor, he grasped the Chaos Emperor Sword and traversed the Chaos Sea. Behind him, multiple Giants from the Pangu Universe charged out—such as Qian Xun, the War Sovereign, the Formless Monarch, and others—killing their way forward.
Among them were the Human Emperor and the Six Paths Great Emperor. Though not yet Half-Step Overlords, they were absolute kings among the Primordial Giants, extremely powerful. They now acted to stop the Alien Ancient Universe from devouring the Tianjue Ancient Universe.
Naturally, the Alien Ancient Universe was not without defenses. Multiple Giants emerged—terrifying reserves accumulated since ancient times—directly blocking the Pangu Universe's interference.
Boom—
Suddenly, on the side of the Alien Ancient Universe, multiple Giants exploded. Among them, two Primordial Giants had half their bodies blasted apart. A domineering figure of extreme might tore through space, one hand gripping the head of an Alien Giant as if clutching a chick, the Alien Giant utterly powerless to resist.
Henggu Monarch!
Once a peer of Ye Chen as the Eternal Quasi-Monarch, now a Half-Step Overlord of unfathomable depth. At this moment, he too felt that inexplicable palpitation and was willing to pay any price to strike against the Alien Ancient Universe, stirring boundless, shocking waves in the Chaos Sea.
"Henggu Monarch!"
Seeing the newcomer, the Alien Giants also changed expressions. This was a Half-Step Overlord who dominated the Chaos Sea, immensely powerful, and now he was targeting them as well.
The Alien Giant whose head was gripped shouted, "Henggu Monarch, do you intend to make an enemy of our Ancient Universe?"
"Noisy!"
Henggu Monarch clenched his palm, directly shattering the Alien Giant's skull and tearing apart its ten-thousand-year-old soul. This Alien Giant's form and spirit exploded. Though not completely annihilated, its origin was severely damaged, directly falling from the Giant level. It reconstituted its form in the distant void, its expression extremely grim.
However, Henggu Monarch paid no further heed. Instead, he gazed into the distance at the Tianjue Ancient Universe being devoured by the Alien Ancient Universe. That peculiar sense of dread grew increasingly intense.
No, he absolutely could not allow the Alien Ancient Universe's plot to succeed.
Henggu Monarch directly attacked, blasting apart the Chaos Sea and striking the location where the Alien Ancient Universe was devouring the Tianjue Ancient Universe, seeking to prevent it all.
All sides across the Chaos Sea watched intently, not daring to miss a single moment.
"Henggu!"
At that moment, Henggu Monarch heard a voice. His gaze pierced through the boundary wall of the Alien Ancient Universe, crossing an infinite distance to see Shidai, located at the universe's origin. It was Shidai who had spoken.
Shidai's figure was hazy, impossible to see clearly. He merely said, "I did not wish to act, but since you insist on interfering, you shall be offered as a sacrifice as well!"
As his words fell, Shidai had already made his move!
Boom—
Henggu Monarch's face showed horror. He felt the space-time around him solidify; everything within a certain radius became absolutely frozen. Powerful as he was, a Half-Step Overlord, he could not move a muscle. Even the Great Dao within his body was completely sealed.
He could hardly believe this was happening. He was, after all, a dignified Half-Step Overlord. Though Shidai was a Peerless Overlord, the gap should not be that vast. How could the disparity be so immense?
With a thunderous boom, even the mighty Henggu Monarch was instantly pulverized, exploding into nothingness.
A torrent of blood radiance surged, affecting multiple domains, causing unimaginable, massive waves that startled all sides.
Shidai was actually this powerful? Without even approaching, he had blasted apart a Half-Step Overlord?
What kind of astonishing strength was this?
In the distant void, the ten Half-Step Overlords from the Alien Ancient Universe and the Pangu Universe, locked in battle, all narrowed their eyes.
Was a Peerless Overlord truly this formidable?
At the Pangu Universe, the Heavenly Emperor's gaze deepened considerably.
Deep within the Forty-Nine Immortal Passes secret realm of the Primordial Immortal Realm, the Immortal Ancestor remained silent.
The Universe Great Emperor revealed a trace of shock.
The Origin Saint Race's Progenitor was hidden beneath absolute Dao principles; none could see his expression...
The most horrified, naturally, was Henggu Monarch himself. He was attempting to reconstitute his form and spirit, but at this moment, he found he could not do so smoothly.
Silently, Shidai, having left the universe's origin at some unknown time, arrived in the Chaos Sea. With a slight wave of his hand...
Instantly, Henggu Monarch's infinite blood radiance and soul fragments also surged into the massive black hole of the Alien Ancient Universe. One could vaguely sense that the Alien Ancient Universe had grown significantly at this moment—both in volume and overall aura, it had expanded by a large margin, an utterly astonishing development.
Simultaneously, within the Chaos Sea, infinite and boundless Great Dao phenomena suddenly appeared, sweeping across the Chaos Sea and shocking all sides.
The appearance of these phenomena signified the fall of a generation's Half-Step Overlord—Henggu Monarch!
