No one could have expected that the Profound God Ancestor, having evaded the joint obstruction and assassination attempts of the three most powerful forces—the Origin Saint Race, the Alien Ancient Universe, and the Chaos Burial Ground—and having also avoided the encirclement and killing by the numerous Giants of the Chaos Sea, had already successfully advanced to the Half-Step Overlord realm, only to be silently assassinated and taken away in the end by the will of the Eternal Night Land's origin.
No one could have imagined that within the Chaos Sea, there still lurked such a powerful existence. Although not a peerless Overlord like the Heavenly Emperor or the Primordial Ancestor, its strength far surpassed that of a Half-Step Overlord.
Even one as powerful as the Profound God Ancestor had been utterly powerless to resist; even one as powerful as Ye Chen, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, had been unable to stop it.
Not even an Overlord of the Heavenly Emperor's caliber could keep it there.
This left Ye Chen and the others with grim expressions. The Profound God Ancestor's assassination was one reason; the other was the uncertainty of how powerful the will of the Eternal Night Land's origin would become the next time they met.
The sixth peerless Overlord?
It wasn't an impossibility.
"Ancestor!"
The experts of the Xuan Tribe wore expressions of extreme distress. Having finally escaped the Origin Saint Race, allowing the Profound God Ancestor to successfully charge into the Half-Step Overlord realm, they never imagined he would end up in such a state.
Amidst the battle in the Primordial Immortal Realm, the clan leader of the Huang Tribe, a Primordial Giant of the Origin Saint Race, sneered coldly: "Traitors will always be traitors; in the end, they can never truly succeed. Only the Ancient Ancestors of our seven great tribes can become true Half-Step Overlords."
The Xuan Tribe experts were filled with rage, itching to charge over and fight.
"Enough noise!"
Ye Chen swept a glance at this Primordial Giant. A terrifying gaze caused the Giant's soul to suffer damage, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The Origin Saint Race's Half-Step Overlord, Di Sheng, said coldly: "Does the Pangu Universe wish to start a war?"
"Haven't you already started a war with my Pangu Universe's ally?" Ye Chen replied icily, his voice bone-chilling.
Indeed, the Primordial Immortal Realm was an ally of the Pangu Universe. Since they had chosen to wage war against the Primordial Immortal Realm, the Pangu Universe naturally would not stand idly by.
The Origin Saint Race?
When had Ye Chen ever feared them? At worst, they would fight.
The Origin Saint Race scoffed coldly: "Pangu Universe, you can hardly take care of yourselves now. With the Alien Ancient Universe making its move, you'd better worry about your own situation."
"Is that so?"
Ye Chen responded indifferently, then turned to the Desolate Heavenly Demon Lord and said, "Fellow Daoist, I request your assistance."
"Very well!"
The Desolate Heavenly Demon Lord nodded. Behind him, the majestic world phantom of the Eternal Heaven Realm instantly manifested. Figures of Giant-level Heavenly Venerates appeared one after another—seventy-two Quasi-Giants, numerous Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens all appeared. Behind them was an immeasurably vast army of countless powerful experts, converging into an extremely terrifying formation. They spoke in unison towards Ye Chen with a mighty roar: "We pay our respects to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor!"
Ye Chen, the former Immortal Heavenly Venerate, was recognized as one of the invincible ones by the Eternal Heaven Realm, acknowledging his status.
The emergence of such a terrifyingly formidable force shocked all sides. Did such a fearsome secret realm world still exist within the Chaos Sea!?
"The Eternal Heaven Realm? Isn't that the legendary Eternal Unknown Land?"
"Great Lan Heavenly Venerate, a Quasi-Giant who disappeared ten epochs ago, is now already a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant."
"Xuan Shi Great Emperor, a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant who went missing seven epochs ago. To think he's still alive, and seems to have nearly reached the level of a Primordial Giant."
"And Feng Tian Imperial Venerate, the invincible Giant who dominated the Chaos Sea for an entire epoch. He disappeared after entering the Eternal Unknown Land. He's indeed still alive, and is hailed as the King among Primordial Giants, no less than Zhong Yan Immortal Venerate or the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis!"
...
Exclamations of shock rose from all corners of the Chaos Sea. Various parties gradually recognized them—these were all invincible powerhouses who had once shaken the Chaos Sea with their fame, had been missing for multiple epochs, and were rumored to have long perished, as even the soul imprints they left behind had vanished. Yet, these invincible powerhouses were still alive, and even stronger than before.
Those who were at the Supreme One level before leaving had basically all become Quasi-Giants.
Those who were Quasi-Giants before leaving had, for the most part, become Ten Thousand Ancient Giants.
Those who were Ten Thousand Ancient Giants before leaving had some who became Primordial Giants.
In short, they had all basically advanced a step beyond their former foundations, becoming even more powerful existences.
Now, over thirty Giants appeared together, along with seventy-two Quasi-Giants and a staggering number of Supreme Ones—some following the Immortal Dao, others the Divine Dao—forming an utterly terrifying force far exceeding everyone's imagination.
Led by the Desolate Heavenly Demon Lord, a Half-Step Overlord, they revealed themselves to the world for the first time.
The Chaos Sea was greatly shaken. The Eternal Unknown Land had unknowingly become such a powerful super force, not much weaker than the Alien Ancient Universe, the Primordial Immortal Realm, or the Origin Saint Race—at the very least, they were very close in terms of Supreme One and Giant levels.
Ye Chen glanced at the Chaos Burial Ground and said, "With the current strength of the Eternal Heaven Realm, it is enough to sink the Chaos Burial Ground."
The experts of the Chaos Burial Ground wore ugly expressions. The sudden emergence of the Eternal Heaven Realm completely overpowered the Chaos Burial Ground in every aspect.
Although the Chaos Burial Ground had two Half-Step Overlords, the Burial Heaven Ancient Ancestor and the Burial Emperor Ancestor were also tied down, utterly unable to attend to other matters.
"In the past, the Chaos Burial Ground was sealed. Although it is unknown who acted, starting today, the Chaos Burial Ground will no longer be sealed—it will be completely sunk, utterly buried and destroyed!" Ye Chen declared, issuing his strongest proclamation.
What of the Chaos Burial Ground? Today, it too would be completely sunk.
"Kill!"
The Desolate Heavenly Demon Lord gave the order. The experts of the Eternal Heaven Realm all arrived, and the vast, endless army charged towards the Chaos Burial Ground.
The Burial Heaven Ancient Ancestor and the Burial Emperor Ancestor looked grim, about to block them.
"Your opponents are us!"
The Desolate Heavenly Demon Lord and Ye Chen stepped forward, intercepting the two Half-Step Overlords and launching a world-shaking great battle.
The endless army charged over, directly killing their way into the vast universe of the Chaos Burial Ground. Led by several Primordial Giant-level Heavenly Venerates, they tore open the great universe's boundary walls, forming a passageway, and charged in.
Boom—
Under the intense cosmic-level warfare, it wasn't long before a Giant from the Chaos Burial Ground fell.
That was the Immortal Heavenly Venerate joining the fray. Hailed as an outstanding figure among Primordial Giants, he displayed his supreme combat power the moment he made his move, slaying a Giant-level Heavenly Emperor of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Terrifying phenomena appeared, spreading throughout the entire ancient universe of the Chaos Burial Ground, affecting all sides.
The myriad heavens of the Chaos Burial Ground were greatly shaken. Countless stars were annihilated; world after world was destroyed. The vast upper realms were forcibly sunk and split into thousands of pieces, likely never to exist again hereafter.
This fearsome ancient universe, which had once buried an entire epoch, was now on the brink of destruction.
All sides in the Chaos Sea watched with their scalps tingling. The Eternal Heaven Realm was too powerful; even the Chaos Burial Ground could not resist it.
"Alien race, why aren't you making your move yet!"
The Burial Heaven Ancient Ancestor roared. At this critical moment, their ally, the Alien Ancient Universe, was still standing by with folded arms.
Boom—
The alien army finally mobilized. Over a dozen Giants led numerous Supreme Ones to kill their way over, joining the side of the Chaos Burial Ground.
