On the other hand, Ye Chen also took decisive action, his cultivation power rivaling that of a Taishang realm Overlord on full display.
With absolute combat prowess, he forcefully suppressed the endless destructive force of a Half-Step Overlord's self-detonation, compressing and collapsing it until it transformed into an existence akin to a pill.
However, this pill was incredibly heavy, its density unimaginably vast. A simple collision could easily pierce through a Ten Thousand Ancient Dao Weapon.
Because it contained the might of a Half-Step Overlord's divine soul self-detonation, if it exploded at close range, it would be enough to severely injure or even directly kill another Half-Step Overlord.
Although he successfully dismantled the self-detonation power of the World-Wrath God Venerable, Ye Chen now felt a sense of threat.
It was as if some terrifying, great calamity was preparing to appear.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor, you will pay the price for everything today. This seat is not the last one. Your calamity is only just beginning!"
At the moment the World-Wrath God Venerable completely perished, a cold voice abruptly manifested.
Ye Chen's expression turned grave. He did not believe the World-Wrath God Venerable was speaking without cause; there must be a reason for such words.
What did these words truly mean?
With the demise of the World-Wrath God Venerable, not only did vast and endless Great Dao anomalies appear within the Pangu Universe, but the same occurred in the Alien Ancient Universe.
In the Alien Ancient Universe, all living beings were plunged into great sorrow.
It was difficult enough to produce a Half-Step Overlord, but now he had fallen as well.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor was indeed the most terrifying enemy of the entire Alien Ancient Universe.
However, unseen by anyone, at the Universe Origin, a faint cracking sound seemed to emanate from the mysterious black hole of the Primordial Ancestral Temple, as if something had shattered.
Following the cracking sound, the sound of a mighty, surging river could be heard from within this mysterious black hole, growing increasingly loud.
Finally, a vast, mighty river abruptly manifested within the Alien Ancient Universe, rushing out from that mysterious black hole—it was none other than the River of Time.
The entire Alien Ancient Universe was shocked.
The River of Time had actually emerged from the Universe Origin center of the Alien Ancient Universe.
Moreover, this river was incredibly grand and immense, spanning the center of the great universe, sweeping across billions of stars, containing unparalleled temporal and spatial might. This was no ordinary projection of the River of Time, but the true River of Time itself.
At this moment, gazing upon that magnificent and majestic River of Time, the few remaining Alien Supreme Ones were greatly astonished, filled with terror.
How could the River of Time suddenly appear?
And with such unparalleled might—could it be a contingency left behind by Shidai?
Boom—
The River of Time swept through star domain after star domain of the Alien Ancient Universe, its waves containing intense temporal and spatial power.
A single drop of river water falling caused a star to vanish for billions of years; the countless living beings on that star also passed through billions of years, ultimately turning into decaying dust along with the star.
Even if the strongest being on a star was an Ancient Monarch, they could not withstand such passage of time and would also turn to dust.
There were also stars where time reversed, all living beings reversing, growing from old to young, from young to infancy, from infancy to particles of life, ultimately disappearing completely.
Now, countless waves of river water surged on the River of Time, sweeping down countless star domains. Within those star domains, innumerable stars and infinite living beings were enduring the impact of that River of Time.
Faced with such terrifying might of the River of Time, even the powerful group of Supreme Ones of the Alien Ancient Universe were helpless, utterly unable to resist. They could only watch as the infinite living beings of the Alien Ancient Universe were slaughtered.
At that moment, one enormous, boundless dark figure after another stepped out from upon the River of Time.
All were unimaginably massive existences capable of filling the starry sky, stirring up infinite blood energy, shattering countless stars at the center of the Alien Ancient Universe. One massive stellar body after another was annihilated.
Within the Alien Ancient Universe, all living beings trembled. The few remaining Supreme Ones were not many, only a dozen or so. They now watched in horror as those terrifying dark figures emerged from the Universe Origin. Each one was a supreme forbidden existence capable of shaking the great universe, at the very least a Giant-level existence.
Now, one after another appeared, their auras peerlessly vast, shaking the myriad starry rivers of the great universe.
Among them, the fearsomeness of a few existences faintly rivaled that of past Half-Step Overlord-level beings like Aoyuan and Modaozi.
These supreme forbidden existences were each covered in wounds, from which drops of blood occasionally fell. The blood came in various colors, but without a doubt, each drop was terrifyingly potent. A single drop could submerge who knew how many star domains, instantly causing countless stars to completely disintegrate.
The entire Alien Ancient Universe was plunged into an unprecedented, immense crisis.
The Alien Ancient Universe's Supreme Ones also did not know why so many Giant-level existences were emerging one after another from the Universe Origin.
Could they be prisoners suppressed within the Universe Origin by Shidai and the other ancient ancestors in the past?
They could not know. They only knew that at this moment, they were trembling with fear. Faced with such supreme forbidden existences, even powerful Supreme Ones seemed utterly weak!
"The World-Wrath God Venerable who was supposed to guard us has finally perished. The seal is no more; we can finally leave."
"After so many years, we have finally left that place!"
"Damned Shidai, damned Heavenly Emperor! If not for those two, how could we have been trapped there for endless eons!"
"Fortunately, before Shidai left, he loosened half of that seal, giving us a chance to escape!"
"The Heavenly Emperor has already left. There is no one left who can seal us away. However, the Heavenly Emperor sealed us for endless eons. Now that the Heavenly Emperor has entered the Origin Land, there is no one left in the Pangu Universe who can withstand our existence!"
"Shidai once said the Pangu Universe hides the greatest secret of attaining eternity. Now that the Heavenly Emperor is gone, who can stop us!"
The gazes of these supreme forbidden existences pierced through the boundary wall of the Alien Ancient Universe, directly seeing the Pangu Universe on the other side. Endless killing intent began to manifest.
Boom—
These supreme forbidden existences directly tore open the boundary wall of the Alien Ancient Universe and entered the Chaos Sea.
For a time, the Chaos Sea seemed to explode. Terrifying, boundless Great Dao fluctuations manifested, stirring up billions upon billions of great waves, also causing many of the Dao Collapse anomalies to dissipate.
Simultaneously, they also sensed the Dao Collapse situation originating from within the Pangu Universe, revealing a trace of surprise and suspicion.
"There is actually such a powerful individual still within the Pangu Universe. A pity, though—only one!"
The supreme forbidden existences naturally perceived all of this, looking toward the Pangu Universe, yet also revealing a cold gleam.
The entire Chaos Sea was in turmoil. The appearance of these supreme forbidden existences directly alarmed countless supreme powerers.
