"Pan Dao Immortal King!"
"No, he should be called Immortal Venerable One now!"
"Indeed, Pan Dao has stepped into the Immortal Venerable One domain."
"It hasn't been that long, yet Pan Dao Immortal King has already become an Immortal Venerable One. It's truly hard to believe!"
"Pan Dao Immortal King back then was already a top-tier Immortal King extremely close to the Immortal Venerable One domain. Being by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's side, it's only natural he became an Immortal Venerable One."
"However, even if Pan Dao Immortal King became an Immortal Venerable One, he's no match for World-Wrath God Venerable."
"Forget whether World-Wrath God Venerable has truly achieved the Half-Step Overlord realm. Countless epochs ago, he was already an existence at the level of a Primordial Giant. How can a newly-advanced Immortal Venerable One like Pan Dao be compared to him?"
...
Although the venerables of the Chaos Sea were amazed that Pan Dao Immortal King had become an Immortal Venerable One, they did not believe he could be a match for World-Wrath God Venerable.
Boom—
The Immortal Venerable City descended from the sky, carrying the majestic might of an Immortal Venerable One, pressing down fiercely towards World-Wrath God Venerable.
Even a Primordial Giant would pale facing this.
Yet, World-Wrath God Venerable's expression remained unchanged. With one hand, he slapped towards the heavens. With a deafening crash, that peerless Immortal Venerable City was sent flying, crashing back into the starry domain, nearly piercing a massive hole through the great universe.
His other hand slapped towards Pan Dao Immortal King, also containing a world-suppressing power capable of sweeping away everything!
Pan Dao Immortal King naturally knew the terror of World-Wrath God Venerable and dared not be careless. He controlled the millstone, unleashing the brilliant, majestic might of the Immortal Venerable level to strike back.
"Useless," World-Wrath God Venerable said coldly, not placing Pan Dao Immortal King in his eyes at all. His palm and fingers struck out, unleashing endless layers of world-destroying power that caused the Immortal Venerable millstone to tremble violently. Blood trickled from the corner of Pan Dao Immortal King's mouth as he suffered a heavy blow.
The gap between the two sides was vast.
But Pan Dao Immortal King did not retreat. At this moment, he looked at World-Wrath God Venerable with a cold smile.
Although the Immortal Venerable millstone trembled violently, it was not forced back, causing World-Wrath God Venerable to let out a sound of surprise, as if he hadn't expected this millstone to be so extraordinary.
Suddenly, the Immortal Venerable millstone shook violently, erupting with extremely terrifying billions of beams of light. At the same time, it unleashed waves of power beyond imagination, surpassing the Immortal Venerable level, striking against World-Wrath God Venerable's great hand. It actually tore open that fearsome hand, causing drops of blood to fall. Each drop was enough to drown a chaotic primordial great world, utterly terrifying.
Many venerables immediately dodged, for one who failed to evade in time was struck by a drop of blood. The venerable's body was pierced by a dreadful bloody hole, difficult to heal.
World-Wrath God Venerable's gaze suddenly grew much more intense as he stared at the mutated Immortal Venerable millstone. "Not Immortal Venerable level, but a Half-Step Overlord Dao Weapon. Impossible. You're merely an Immortal Venerable One; you cannot possess a Half-Step Overlord Dao Weapon."
"Of course he cannot possess it, because this Half-Step Overlord Dao Weapon belongs to my clan."
Silently, above the myriad domains of the heavens, another extremely fearsome figure appeared. None of the venerables had detected his arrival, all shuddering with horror.
Without a doubt, this was also a forbidden-level existence no weaker than World-Wrath God Venerable.
World-Wrath God Venerable glanced at the other party, his expression slightly solemn. "Cosmic Heaven, you actually didn't leave either."
"Cosmic Heaven? Could it be Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor!"
"Impossible! Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor is an existence from the prehistoric era of the Origin Sacred Clan—no, the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan. He became a Half-Step Overlord long ago. Didn't he leave with the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan and return to the Origin Land?"
The venerables exclaimed in shock. Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor belonged to the Cosmic Clan, one of the seven great clans of the former World-Guarding Heavenly Clan. A prehistoric old fossil, extremely powerful, he was famously known during the early Chaos Sea era when the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan dominated the Chaos Sea, having suppressed and slain countless supreme powerhouses of the Chaos Sea.
Although Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor did not appear in the battle to reach the Origin Land, no one believed that this Half-Step Overlord from the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan, hailing from the Origin Land, would stay behind. After all, for the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan, the Origin Land was the place they had always wanted to return to.
"Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor of the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan also stayed behind."
Pan Dao Immortal King, the three Immortal Kings, and the venerables of the Pangu Universe felt their hearts sink upon seeing the appearance of Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor, sensing a whiff of conspiracy.
First, World-Wrath God Venerable of the Alien Ancient Universe did not go to the Origin Land. Now, Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor of the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan also did not go.
Both were Half-Step Overlords, pivotal existences like pillars holding up the sky. It was impossible for them to be abandoned in this flawed primordial world that is the Chaos Sea.
Where there is abnormality, there must be a scheme. The sudden appearance of both made the venerables feel that something extraordinary was afoot.
Suddenly, Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor looked towards a certain void, speaking indifferently, "Come out. There's no need to hide. If you continue to conceal yourself, this seat won't mind personally dragging you out."
The venerables were startled—someone else was hiding in the shadows.
Sure enough, from that void, silently, a tall figure emerged, with the phantom of a great universe appearing behind him. He chuckled lightly, "As expected of Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor of the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan. Your perception is indeed sharp enough; I couldn't escape your detection."
The appearance of the newcomer also made the venerables' hearts sink.
Burial World Demon Ancestor, the peerless giant of the Chaos Burial Ground. However, now, being able to conceal himself from the perception of the venerables, he was clearly also a Half-Step Overlord.
This couldn't help but evoke deep confusion: why did these several Half-Step Overlords not go to the Origin Land to pursue the supreme eternal fruit, but instead stay behind in this forsaken primordial world of exile that the Origin Land considers the Chaos Sea?
Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor said coldly, "And why have you come?"
Burial World Demon Ancestor replied, "For the same reason you have come."
World-Wrath God Venerable said coldly, "You've hidden yourselves quite deeply, all choosing to appear on the same day."
Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor sneered, "Aren't you the same?"
"Enough idle talk. The purpose of us staying behind is also for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, isn't it? There is only one Chaos Heavenly Emperor, but there are three of us. How shall we divide him?" Burial World Demon Ancestor spoke.
Clearly, in the eyes of the three Half-Step Overlords, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had become a great cake to be divided.
Because the reason the Heavenly Gate did not leave was precisely because of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
Although the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had not cultivated his Chaos Great Dao to true Great Perfection, one must not forget that the Chaos Great Dao is among the most powerful Daos throughout history. The reason the Primordial Heavenly Venerate of the Origin Land was qualified to contend for the title of Heavenly Venerate King was precisely because he cultivated the Chaos Great Dao to Great Perfection, capable of connecting all Daos through one, mastering the strongest myriad Daos, suppressing all eternal Heavenly Venerates.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Chaos Dao Fruit was not completely perfected, but if mastered, one day when going to the Origin Land, it might not be impossible to bring the Chaos Great Dao to complete Great Perfection.
This was also the main reason the three Half-Step Overlords stayed behind.
