The Ancient Chaos Universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located had collapsed.
It lay shattered and fragmented across the boundless Chaos Sea. Ye Chen could see the broken universe walls drifting further away, and endless shattered stellar debris falling into the Chaos Sea.
Ye Chen could still clearly sense the overwhelmingly powerful Dao Principles—the Dao Principles of Ten Thousand Ancient Giants clashing—permeating the nearby realms.
At the very least, three Ten Thousand Ancient Giants from the Alien Ancient Universe had come to battle in this Ancient Chaos Universe, possibly even more.
He also saw endless corpses strewn inside and outside the universe. Some were immense, belonging to Emperors, their hair capable of coiling around star rivers, but they had completely perished.
Only endless bloody radiance spread throughout the collapsed universe, inside and out.
Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot, filled with grief and indignation!
"Senior!"
He charged into this destroyed Ancient Chaos Universe. Wherever his gaze swept, he took in everything within the entire Ancient Chaos Universe.
The ancient trial passes of the past—many had now turned to dust. Even those that still existed were already ruined, no longer what they once were.
On each ancient trial pass floated the remains of many young geniuses.
Even in this era of blood-stained epochs, countless geniuses had still rushed forward one after another to come to the Ultimate Ancient Path for trials.
Unfortunately, all of this had been shattered.
The remnants of the Soul Forbidden Hall, or the former Imperial Clans like the Nine Colors Imperial Clan, had also perished along with the destruction of the great universe.
Everything familiar had vanished, including the Ultimate Ancient Domain, which had also crumbled.
Today, the entire Ancient Chaos Universe had completely collapsed.
Ye Chen's heart was heavy as he made his way to the deepest part of the universe, originally the location of the universe's origin. But now it was utterly desolate, with only endless bloody light scattering across the boundless territory.
He sensed a familiar aura. This blood was the Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Blood shed by Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, staining the heavens. A most terrifying battle had taken place here, but it had ended long ago.
He could not sense a trace of life force, not even the vitality within this blood—it had been completely extinguished.
However, he did not see the figure of Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong.
Though he knew it was likely a hopeless situation, Ye Chen still clung to a sliver of hope, hoping that Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong was still alive and had not truly fallen.
He employed his Half-Step Overlord means to perform Time Reversal, and not just in this area, but across the entire Ancient Chaos Universe, even extending to several nearby realms.
The scope of coverage was so vast it could be called earth-shattering.
In the Time Reversal, Ye Chen witnessed that battle.
A full five Alien Giants had launched a surprise attack on this Ancient Chaos Universe, wielding forbidden weapons refined by Half-Step Overlords. Thus, they shattered the universe walls in the first moment and successfully infiltrated.
Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong was the only Ten Thousand Ancient Giant in this Ancient Chaos Universe, and also its ruler.
The will of the Ancient Chaos Universe's origin also sensed the intense crisis and released the power of the universe's origin to empower Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, allowing him to wield part of the universe's origin power, forcibly elevating him to the level of a Primordial Giant. He became immensely powerful, and the entire Ancient Chaos Universe became his domain.
Unfortunately, the five Alien Giants were too strong; one of them was a Primordial Giant.
Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, empowered by the universe's origin, was indeed powerful, but he was no match. In the scenes of Time Reversal, the Alien race quickly shattered his form and spirit, annihilating them again and again.
The terrifying battle also caused the entire Ancient Chaos Universe to collapse, falling into disintegration.
In the end, Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong was utterly shattered, even his Ten Thousand Ancient Indestructible Body crumbled. His Ten Thousand Ancient body and Ten Thousand Ancient soul exploded repeatedly, ultimately dispersing completely.
And Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong had fallen.
Hope was extinguished!
Moreover, the entire Ancient Chaos Universe had collapsed. Even if Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong had once entrusted part of his soul to the stars of the heavens in the past, it was useless now. Everything had perished along with the universe's destruction, leaving not a shred of hope for revival.
Boom—
Ye Chen felt only endless rage. Bloody radiance, rolling like thunder, erupted from the crown of his head, inundating the entire ruined Ancient Chaos Universe.
In the past, it was largely thanks to Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong stepping forward to protect and guard the Pangu Universe that the Pangu Universe could reach its current state.
But when Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong was in peril, Ye Chen had been unable to stop it, unaware until it was too late. How he regretted it.
He desperately wanted to reverse time and arrive at the moment the Alien race launched their surprise attack.
But he could not do it!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
Not long after, several Giants from the Pangu Universe also arrived at this place. Seeing the collapse and destruction of the Ancient Chaos Universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located, their pupils also contracted.
The Alien Ancient Universe, after shattering the Tianjue Ancient Universe, had now shattered another Ancient Chaos Universe.
Moreover, the Ancient Chaos Universe where the Ultimate Ancient Path was located was ultimately somewhat weak, with only Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong as its sole Ten Thousand Ancient Giant. How could it be a match for the Alien Ancient Universe?
Furthermore, the Alien Ancient Universe had acted deliberately, sealing off this Ancient Chaos Universe so that the outside world had no way of knowing what had happened.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor!"
Within the destroyed universe, a vast great world appeared—it was the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain from back then, which had actually survived.
Within it were two Quasi-Giants: Heavenly Eye Divine Emperor and the Lord of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Hall.
They had not perished, but they were severely wounded, their auras feeble.
Ye Chen managed a faint smile.
These two could be considered old acquaintances; it was best that they had not fallen.
The Lord of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Hall sighed softly: "Three days ago, the Alien Ancient Universe attacked. Originally, the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was also on the brink of destruction. It was Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong who personally intervened, sending part of the original universe's living beings into the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain and using his power to send us away from the fiercest battlefield, protecting our lives with his Ten Thousand Ancient Indestructible Body."
He revealed the truth. In that battle, the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain had also nearly been destroyed.
Though Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong was in dire straits, at the most critical moment, he still acted, using his Ten Thousand Ancient Indestructible Body to send the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain away, thus allowing it to avoid destruction and survive.
Along with it survived part of the original universe's living beings, including many geniuses who were training on the Ultimate Ancient Path. Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong had used his supreme means to transfer them into the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Naturally, even so, the five Alien Giants had nearly destroyed the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, shattering the Ten Thousand Ancient Indestructible Body. Even though the most terrifying force was mostly blocked, the remainder still nearly caused the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain to collapse.
During that time, it was only because the two of them desperately protected the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain that it escaped disaster.
Then, while wounded, they seized the chance to flee, and the several Alien Giants failed to successfully destroy the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
"It's a pity. The Alien race came too suddenly, catching us completely off guard. Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong had no way to retreat and could only fight desperately."
Both the Lord of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Hall and Heavenly Eye Divine Emperor sighed. In that situation, even a Primordial Giant would have certainly died, let alone Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, who had not reached that level. Naturally, he could not escape.
"Alien race!"
Ye Chen let out a long roar, his eyes filled with blood vessels, endless rage surging within him as he gazed toward the Alien Ancient Universe on the other side of the Chaos Sea.
