Stone Sovereign and several other Supreme Ones looked at this Quasi-Giant in surprise, saying, "Nether Emperor, what is the meaning of this?"
Wasn't this inviting a wolf into the house?
The Quasi-Giant who had arrived was the Nether Emperor, an external Quasi-Giant who had entered from the outside world many tens of thousands of years ago. However, after residing for millions of years, he was no different from the Quasi-Giants born within the Pangu Universe, possessing a very high status.
The Nether Emperor said, "All Fellow Daoists have come specifically with divine pills and miraculous medicines to treat the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. Naturally, we cannot shut them out. Moreover, our Pangu Universe stands supreme across the entire Chaos Sea. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor's cultivation suppresses all past and present, so there is even less need for concern. Even if they enter, they won't cause much impact on the Chaos Heavenly Emperor."
"But—" Stone Sovereign was about to continue speaking when the Nether Emperor impatiently waved his hand. "There are no 'buts.' This One is, after all, a Quasi-Giant. Surely I have more authority than you few Supreme Ones? Open the gate!"
At the Nether Emperor's command, and because he was a Quasi-Giant with a higher status within the Pangu Universe, the Pangu Gate was ultimately opened.
Numerous Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and Giants from the Chaos Sea entered the Pangu Universe one after another.
Only upon entering the Pangu Universe did they truly feel its might. The aura of the myriad Daos was incredibly vast and flourishing, not inferior in the slightest to the Alien Ancient Universe or the Primordial Immortal World. This was all thanks to the group of peerless powerhouses led by the Heavenly Emperor in the past, who promoted the revival of the myriad Daos within the Pangu Universe, as well as the reawakening of the Tenth Heaven.
At the same time, only after entering the Pangu Universe could one truly sense how severe the Dao Collapse was.
The power of Dao Collapse had almost saturated every corner of the entire Pangu Universe. The myriad Daos emitted mournful cries, as if they might collapse at any moment under the unbearable pressure. It was truly terrifying.
"As expected, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Dao Collapse has reached an extremely severe stage!"
"With Dao Collapse like this, if it were any other Eternal Giant—no, even a Primordial Giant—they would undoubtedly perish. One cannot help but marvel. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor is indeed powerful to another level, actually able to hold on until now!"
"We misjudged. This level of Dao Collapse is what's visible even with someone sealing it. I'm afraid the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Dao Collapse is even more severe."
Sensing the power of Dao Collapse permeating the great universe's heaven and earth, even these supreme powerhouses revealed a trace of shock and awe.
Simultaneously, their gazes toward the distant central territory of the Pangu Universe grew increasingly fervent.
Because, precisely for this reason, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was more likely to perish, and they, in turn, had a greater opportunity to execute their plan of 'a pack of tigers devouring a dragon.'
In their eyes, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was undoubtedly a massive, tempting prize.
The supreme powerhouses immediately headed for the Chaos Heaven Mansion at the center of the Upper Realm's myriad domains. From afar, they saw ten Sealing Gates towering between heaven and earth. Each Sealing Gate was as high as the heavens, like eternal, indestructible passes standing firm, completely sealing off and isolating the Chaos Heaven Mansion within. Not a trace of its interior could be observed from the outside.
"The Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Sealing Gates are said to be peerless Dao weapons at the Half-Step Overlord level!"
The supreme powerhouses were extremely covetous. Any Dao weapon the Chaos Heavenly Emperor casually produced was a peerless Dao weapon that suppressed the current era without equal. For instance, the Sealing Gates—once obtained, even an Eternal Giant would have the qualification to challenge a Primordial Giant. If a Primordial Giant obtained them, they could almost roam the Chaos Sea invincibly, with few able to contend head-on.
The appearance of these powerful figures naturally alerted the Supreme Ones within the Pangu Universe. They arrived immediately, their expressions grave as they looked at the many supreme powerhouses from the Chaos Sea, frowning and asking, "Why have you Fellow Daoists entered our Pangu Universe?"
Now, with the Chaos Heavenly Emperor showing signs of Dao Collapse, the entire Pangu Universe had immediately entered a lockdown phase, not open to the outside.
The Pangu Gate had naturally been sealed off immediately as well.
Yet, these supreme powerhouses from the Chaos Sea had suddenly appeared within the Pangu Universe, and not far from the Chaos Heaven Mansion at that.
This was absolutely a dangerous signal.
How exactly had they entered?
For a moment, the Supreme Ones of the Pangu Universe faced a great enemy. With the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Dao Collapse and the constant risk of his demise, and now a group of external supreme powerhouses suddenly entering the universe, they felt threatened.
The Myriad Swords Imperial Venerable's might shook the heavens. As one of the most powerful few supreme Giants, his gaze swept indifferently over the Pangu Universe Supreme One who had spoken. "This One entered by invitation, to deliver corresponding spirit pills and miraculous medicines to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor."
That gaze contained a terrifying ancient Dao authority, causing the speaking Supreme One to grunt, his face slightly pale, having suffered a terrifying soul attack invisibly.
However, at this time, only a scant dozen or so Supreme Ones from the Pangu Universe had arrived. Compared to the far greater number of supreme powerhouses from the Chaos Sea, they were severely outmatched.
Stone Sovereign transmitted a message, informing them that it was the Nether Emperor who had demanded the opening of the Pangu Gate to let them in.
The Profound God Emperor was still present. He had long been a Quasi-Giant. His gaze turned cold as he stared at the Nether Emperor. "Nether Emperor, the Pangu Universe is not open to the outside. A ban was issued long ago. Why did you still open the Pangu Gate!"
How could they not know the wolfish ambitions of the Chaos Sea's powerful figures? Letting them into the Pangu Universe now was absolutely inviting a wolf into the house.
The Nether Emperor replied coldly, "The decisions This One makes are not for you to interfere with!"
The Profound God Emperor's expression turned icy. He glanced at the Nether Emperor, then at the powerful figures from the Chaos Sea, and instantly understood the situation.
At that moment, Shi Baitian, Wang Xiong, and Jian Wuhen—the three Immortal Kings—descended from the sky, arriving at this place. They faced the Myriad Swords Imperial Venerable and the other supreme powerhouses from the Chaos Sea directly. "For what purpose have you Fellow Daoists come?"
The appearance of the three Immortal Kings also made the expressions of the Chaos Sea's supreme powerhouses grow more solemn. They seemed not to have expected that, after the opening of the Origin Land, there were still Giant-level existences within the Pangu Universe, and they were Immortal Kings at that, all very powerful.
The Myriad Swords Imperial Venerable said, "We have come specifically to deliver an Emperor Pill to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to resolve his Dao injuries."
Shi Baitian nodded. "This One appreciates the Fellow Daoist's sentiment on behalf of my master. However, my master is currently at a critical stage of healing his injuries and is not receiving guests. Please come another day."
The implication was an order to leave.
If it were any other Supreme One within the Pangu Universe, like Stone Sovereign and the others, they would not dare to issue such an order lightly.
But the three Immortal Kings were the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's personal disciples and were Immortal King-level existences. Their status was exalted, and they were fully qualified to represent the Chaos Heaven Mansion.
Hearing this, the powerful figures from the Chaos Sea seemed not to have expected the three Immortal Kings to issue an order to leave so directly.
A flash of cold light passed through the Myriad Swords Imperial Venerable's eyes, but on the surface, he chuckled. "Since the Venerable One is severely injured and in a serious state of Dao Collapse, This One feels it is even more necessary to offer an Emperor Pill to help the Venerable One resolve his Dao Collapse injuries. Moreover, This One has cultivated a related healing Emperor Art. Why don't you Fellow Daoists open the Sealing Gates? This One can enter and personally help the Venerable One resolve a portion of his Dao Collapse injuries."
