Ye Chen employed the Supreme Chaos Technique, forcibly relocating the entire cultivation cave abode of the Heavenly Race chieftain and moving it into his Origin Universe.
Moreover, he used Chaos to obscure all heavenly secrets.
Even the progenitor of the Origin Saint Race would find it difficult to detect.
Far away in the Thousand Mechanisms Ancestral City, the Heavenly Race chieftain, who was currently discussing important matters with the various Giants of the Heavenly Race, suddenly felt a trace of ominous premonition. He was greatly startled, thinking to himself: "What happened? Why do I have this bad feeling?"
Having cultivated to his level, comparable to the kings among Primordial Giants like the End Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis, his senses were incredibly sharp. He wouldn't easily have such a premonition without reason; it must be an omen.
Yet, when the Heavenly Race chieftain attempted to deduce the cause, he still found nothing amiss.
With his cultivation, even a Half-Step Overlord would find it extremely difficult to conceal their traces from his deductions; he should ultimately be able to capture some clues.
However, he deduced nothing. It was conceivable that he must have been mistaken, perhaps because the Yellow Springs Great Heavenly Lord from the Alien Race had come to stir up trouble, causing the heavenly secrets to become chaotic.
The Heavenly Race chieftain harbored secret doubts but ultimately shook his head, thinking it was merely a sensory error, and did not pursue the matter further.
Using the identity of the Blood-Sinking Sword Venerable, Ye Chen repeatedly arrived at the cultivation cave abodes of other Supreme Giants of the Heavenly Race, successively emptying these cave abodes of the Heavenly Race Giants along with their endless Dao divine treasures.
Because he used the Supreme Chaos Technique to cover the heavenly secrets each time, his status as a Chaos Half-Step Overlord made it so that even a Half-Step Overlord would struggle to detect him.
Silently and without a trace, Ye Chen essentially emptied the Heavenly Race of all its treasures, leaving satisfied.
Subsequently, Ye Chen appeared time and again within the core strongholds of the other six great clans of the Origin Saint Race. If he could come and go freely even in the Heavenly Race's core stronghold, how much easier would it be for the other six clans? They were currently discussing the incident of the Yellow Springs Great Heavenly Lord and were completely unaware of Ye Chen's existence. He infiltrated their core strongholds repeatedly, emptying them of their vital cultivation resources.
Unfortunately, the masters of these cultivation cave abodes—the Giants of the seven great clans—had all left due to important matters. Otherwise, Ye Chen truly intended to seal off the cave abodes, suppress and imprison several Saint Race Giants, and eliminate them after leaving the Origin Saint Race's secret realm world, effectively grinding down the Origin Saint Race's living strength.
Just as Ye Chen arrived at the core stronghold of the Di Clan, within a cave abode of immense age, his expression changed.
Because within this cave abode, there was actually a Primordial Giant present. It wasn't the Di Clan chieftain. He appeared very ancient, yet immensely powerful, as if in his twilight years. Due to the special nature of this cave abode, it could be said to have perfectly fused with him, becoming one and the same—he was the cave abode, and the cave abode was him.
For a moment, even Ye Chen had failed to detect the presence of this Primordial Giant.
This seemingly ancient Primordial Giant of the Di Clan unexpectedly sensed Ye Chen's arrival. He opened his aged eyes, which contained terrifying scenes of the vicissitudes of countless epochs; he had lived for who knew how many eras.
Ye Chen even faintly sensed that the other party's lifespan likely predated the Chaos Sea itself, for he hailed from the Origin Land.
A true prehistoric Old Antique who had surpassed the age of the Chaos Sea!
Moreover, he was extremely powerful. To Ye Chen, he felt significantly stronger than kings among Primordial Giants like the End Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis. Although not a true Half-Step Overlord, his body contained faint traces of Half-Step Overlord aura—an invincible Primordial Giant infinitely close to that level.
Ye Chen sighed inwardly. It was his own overconfidence to blame. Had he been more cautious, even upon entering this cave abode, this Di Clan Primordial Giant would not have discovered him.
"You are a junior of the Heavenly Race?" This Primordial Giant stared at Ye Chen, his profound gaze seemingly capable of seeing through everything about him.
Ye Chen was still pretending to be the Heavenly Race's Blood-Sinking Sword Venerable. "Yes, this junior is the Blood-Sinking Sword Venerable of the Heavenly Race!"
This extremely ancient prehistoric Primordial Giant showed a slight trace of confusion. He had been in seclusion for far too long and thus was not very clear about the outside world. Even regarding the many Venerables of the seven great clans, his understanding was limited at best; he might regard them slightly higher but wouldn't necessarily recognize them.
However, he did not harbor much suspicion.
Just as Ye Chen was about to turn and leave, this Di Clan Primordial Giant suddenly said, "Wait. For a Heavenly Race Venerable to trespass into my cave abode—even your Heavenly Race chieftain would not dare act so brazenly. You have quite the nerve. Come back here!"
"This junior inadvertently trespassed into Senior's cave abode. Please forgive me!" Ye Chen said, naturally unwilling to admit guilt.
"A mere Venerable could never breach the formation of my cave abode. Not even a Giant could infiltrate so silently." The Di Clan Primordial Giant's voice instantly turned many times colder. He said icily, "Speak. Who are you, truly?"
As he spoke, overwhelming Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Principles surged from his body, terrifying beyond measure. Moreover, the cave abode transformed at this moment into a Ten Thousand Ancient Indestructible Great World, clearly belonging to this Di Clan Primordial Giant. It had long been fused with his cave abode, becoming one and the same.
At this moment, the aura of this prehistoric Old Antique reached an extreme level of terror. Within this cave abode, even the End Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis would be subjected to immense suppression.
Ye Chen sighed softly. "It might have been better for both of us if you had just let me leave."
Silently, Ye Chen sealed off this cave abode. A terrifying aura began to inundate the entire space. He instantly revealed his true appearance, causing the Di Clan Giant to exclaim in shock: "It's you! The Yellow Springs Great Heavenly Lord! You never escaped the secret realm world; you've been hiding within it all along. No... you cannot be the Yellow Springs Great Heavenly Lord. Though he is bold, he would not dare to act against our Origin Saint Race in this manner."
Truly worthy of being a prehistoric Old Antique of the Di Clan, having lived for endless eons and naturally understanding countless matters. Although Ye Chen had repeatedly transformed into the Yellow Springs Great Heavenly Lord, trying to deceive such a prehistoric Old Antique was somewhat difficult.
Seeing that concealment was no longer possible, Ye Chen ceased hiding. His form shifted instantly, revealing his true appearance.
The Di Clan's Primordial Giant was greatly shocked: "The Chaos Heavenly Emperor!"
This was not just shock; his expression changed drastically.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor of the Pangu Universe had silently arrived within the Origin Saint Race's secret realm world. In an instant, he understood: the so-called Yellow Springs Great Heavenly Lord who had acted previously was actually this Chaos Heavenly Emperor. But the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had deceived everyone, drawing away a large number of Origin Saint Race Giants to seek trouble with the Alien Ancient Universe, while the true culprit, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, had remained hidden within the Origin Saint Race's secret realm world all along, pursuing other objectives.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor, you actually dare to enter the secret realm world of our Origin Saint Race. Your courage is indeed immense." This prehistoric Old Antique coldly shouted. Suddenly, his entire person merged with the cave abode world. His Ten Thousand Ancient body expanded limitlessly. Billions of stars inundated the space like a tidal wave. Countless Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Principles transformed into a torrential rain of light, and terrifying, peerless phenomena manifested.
Here, the prehistoric Old Antique grasped a peerless war weapon and launched an attack.
