Rumble—
At this moment, a colossal ship abruptly appeared within the Alien Ancient Universe. It was unimaginably huge, no less massive than the Human-Slaughtering Immortal Ship of yore, perhaps even surpassing it.
Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a Slaughtering Immortal Ship, yet compared to the original, it seemed somewhat different—darker and more boundless in its enormity.
This dark vessel plunged directly into the Chaos Sea, cleaving through the waves. Wherever it passed, the Chaos Sea churned and exploded, forcibly parted on both sides, transforming into towering waves of chaos.
Upon it, figures like Ao Yuan and other Half-Step Overlords appeared, directly piloting this terrifying giant ship as it charged toward the three Ancient Chaos Universes. From it extended numerous dark shackles, exactly as they had targeted the Tianjue Ancient Universe that day.
Evidently, they intended to drag these three Ancient Chaos Universes into the Alien Ancient Universe as well.
The Divine Emperor roared, unleashing the might of a Half-Step Overlord.
Behind him, multiple Giants emerged. Though not comparable to the four Overlord-level powers, there were still five Giants in total.
They followed the Divine Emperor out, confronting the giant ship from the Alien Ancient Universe.
From the other two Ancient Chaos Universes, though not as powerful as the one guarded by the Divine Emperor, they were still extraordinary. More than one Giant emerged from each, totaling four Giants between them, one of whom was a Primordial Giant.
Combined with the Divine Emperor's Ancient Chaos Universe, this made for one Half-Step Overlord and nine Giants.
Of course, this was insufficient to withstand the Alien Ancient Universe, for its power far surpassed that of the three Ancient Chaos Universes.
However, the forces of the Pangu Universe, led by Ye Chen, naturally could not stand idly by. They acted immediately to rescue the Divine Emperor and the others.
At this moment, as long as the Divine Emperor and the other three Ancient Chaos Universes could hold on, they would receive support from the Pangu Universe.
"The Pangu Universe would be better off not interfering!"
A projection from the Origin Saint Race's secret realm manifested. Several Saint Race Half-Step Overlords appeared, blocking the actions of the Pangu Universe's Half-Step Overlords.
"Get lost!" Ye Chen was extremely domineering. Without another word, he threw a punch that exploded through the Chaos Sea, unleashing the might of a peerless Half-Step Overlord. It annihilated the sky, shattered everything, breaking all and dissolving all.
But the Origin Saint Race Half-Step Overlord wielded a special magical artifact that actually managed to block Ye Chen's strike, which was powerful enough to injure a Half-Step Overlord.
Ye Chen frowned. Tai Sheng Huang and the other Half-Step Overlords also furrowed their brows.
Clearly, the Origin Saint Race had come prepared this time, possessing special forbidden artifacts that were far from simple.
At that moment, the Primordial Immortal Realm also mobilized. Donghuang, Tian'a Immortal Lord, and several other Immortal Dao Half-Step Overlords emerged together, traversing the sky, intending to rescue the Divine Emperor and the other three Ancient Chaos Universes.
For the Divine Emperor was now allied with them.
The Pangu Universe and the Primordial Immortal Realm arrived together. Even the mighty Origin Saint Race could not stop them.
Boom—
Suddenly, from the giant ship of the Alien Ancient Universe, a massive hand reached out. This hand was incomparably huge, radiating an aura of terror capable of annihilating countless epochs. Even the many Half-Step Overlords present paled, staring in horror at the ship. "It's Shidai! Shidai has also entered the Chaos Sea!"
The entire world was shocked. No one had expected Shidai to personally intervene.
It must be understood that the five peerless Overlords had an unspoken agreement among themselves not to act. Yet now, Shidai was breaking this tacit pact, taking the initiative to strike with incredible speed, overturning all order as he directly swatted toward the Divine Emperor.
Boom—
The Divine Emperor, already grievously wounded by the terrifying beam from the Alien Ancient Universe, now faced the direct strike of Shidai, the most terrifying great black hand in history.
That single blow was utterly terrifying, directly shattering numerous realms.
The Divine Emperor could not withstand it. His body was utterly pulverized, and even his Half-Step Overlord soul suffered significant damage.
Then, Shidai's hand grasped through the air, seizing everything of the Divine Emperor. Reversing all, he reassembled the Divine Emperor's form and spirit, but imprisoned him within his palm, rendering him immobile.
The power of a peerless Overlord was displayed without reservation!
The entire world was horrified. Even Half-Step Overlords turned pale, for the power Shidai displayed at this moment was too terrifying, far beyond imagination. A Half-Step Overlord seemed insignificant before him.
Boom—
Shidai clenched his fist. The Divine Emperor roared, struggling to break free, but his entire body began to burn, starting to be offered as a sacrifice.
A Half-Step Overlord being forcibly sacrificed—this was undoubtedly horrifying. Everyone watched this scene in terror.
The might of a peerless Overlord surpassed all imagination. Even a powerful Half-Step Overlord had no power to resist, reduced to a sacrificial offering.
"We beseech the Heavenly Emperor to act!" Ye Chen spoke up immediately.
"We beseech the Immortal Ancestor to act!" Several Immortal Dao Half-Step Overlords were also terrified, turning to call into the depths of the Primordial Immortal Realm, pleading for the Immortal Ancestor to intervene.
Only a peerless Overlord could stop a peerless Overlord.
"As it should be."
From deep within the Pangu Universe's origin, the Heavenly Emperor sat upon the Purple Extreme Lingxiao Palace. In his hand appeared an ancient stele.
It was the Heaven-Burying Stele. He suddenly invoked it, piercing through the sky to instantly descend into the Chaos Sea. It transformed into an immensely huge, sky-reaching ancient stele, covered in ancient patterns of unfathomable antiquity. There were even prehistoric patterns that transcended the Chaos Sea itself—traces originating from the Origin Land, stained with endless blood, all from the invincible powerhouses the Heaven-Burying Stele had suppressed throughout the ages.
Now, the Heaven-Burying Stele was invoked, blotting out the sky and sun, no less massive than an entire realm. It smashed toward the giant ship, intending to suppress both the vessel and Shidai together.
Simultaneously, from the deepest part of the Primordial Immortal Realm—the innermost depths of the Forty-Nine Immortal Pass secret realm—the Immortal Ancestor, seated in meditation, also acted. He pointed out a single finger, the highest embodiment of the Immortal Dao, capable of destroying all, transforming into a sky-blotting, heaven-propping pillar that toppled down.
Even the mere aura of immortal might that spread forth caused the Giants of the Chaos Sea to change expression, for it could annihilate beings of their level.
One could imagine how terrifying the interventions of both the Heavenly Emperor and the Immortal Ancestor were, far beyond anything a Half-Step Overlord could compare to.
"This venerable one shall block for a moment. Shidai, you continue."
The Progenitor of the Origin Saint Race also acted, displaying the profound methods of an Overlord to block the Immortal Ancestor's attack. Only the Heavenly Emperor's Heaven-Burying Stele continued to press down.
Shidai's massive hand met it with a slap, colliding with the Heaven-Burying Stele. The impact was soundless, as if merely a collision between mortals. But the most terrifying scene unfolded: the Chaos Sea was torn apart, shattered into numerous terrifying fissures leading to mysterious, unknown places.
It must be understood that the Chaos Sea was the ultimate space. Even Giants and so-called Half-Step Overlords could only pierce its superficial layers, unable to truly and effectively penetrate it completely.
Yet the collision between several peerless Overlords caused extreme, tearing destruction to the Chaos Sea itself, a terror beyond bounds.
That collision seemed to vaguely involve the ultimate secrets of the Chaos Sea.
