There were also Supreme Powerhouses who had not gone to the Pangu Universe, including Giant-level existences deep within the Chaos Sea. Sensing the emergence of these supreme forbidden beings, they revealed looks of horror: "It's them! Those Peerless Great Terrors who were incited by the Primordial Ancestor back then to come from past and present to kill their way to the Pangu Universe. In the end, they were blocked alone by the Heavenly Emperor on a tributary of the River of Time. After the Heavenly Emperor reappeared in the world, we thought they had all perished. Who would have thought so many are still alive, and now they've actually appeared in the Chaos Sea. This is absolutely a calamity of heaven-shaking proportions!"
"No, perhaps this calamity is for the Pangu Universe. Because these supreme forbidden beings were all targeting the Pangu Universe back then. Now that they have re-emerged, I'm afraid they will continue to target the Pangu Universe!"
"The Pangu Universe is in danger. Originally, the Heavenly Emperor and other peerless powerhouses left one by one, leaving only the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. And now, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor fought a great battle with three Half-Step Overlords thirty thousand years ago and suffered severe injuries. I'm afraid he will find it difficult to withstand the invasion of these Peerless Great Terrors."
"Even at the peak of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's power back then, it wasn't certain he could withstand the invasion of these Peerless Great Terrors. Don't forget, no matter how powerful the Chaos Heavenly Emperor is, he is only one person. As for these Peerless Great Terrors, back then even an Overlord at the Taishang realm like the Heavenly Emperor needed to spend a full epoch to block them. You can imagine."
"Yes, no matter how powerful the Chaos Heavenly Emperor is, he is not as strong as the Heavenly Emperor. How can he withstand the invasion of these Peerless Great Terrors!"
"The Chaos Heavenly Emperor barely escaped the certain-kill situation with the three Half-Step Overlords and successfully reversed it. But now, the most terrifying group of Peerless Great Terrors has appeared. Perhaps it is fate that wants to destroy the Pangu Universe!"
Many Supreme Powerhouses sighed.
Without a doubt, the numerous Peerless Great Terrors walked out from their trapped place in the River of Time. Because of the Primordial Ancestor's words back then, because the Heavenly Emperor alone blocked them on the River of Time for an entire epoch and also killed many among them, it could be said there were new grudges and old hatreds.
Now that these Peerless Great Terrors had broken free, they would undoubtedly launch a terrifying retaliation against the Pangu Universe.
Boom—
The numerous Peerless Great Terrors directly headed for the Pangu Universe. Wherever they passed, the heavens collapsed and the earth split, everything seemed headed for complete annihilation. It was an indescribably terrifying scene.
In the end, they all directly entered the Pangu Pass.
The Pangu Pass was not closed now, allowing these Peerless Great Terrors to drive straight in, directly killing their way into the interior of the Pangu Universe.
Within the Pangu Universe, the myriad heavens were greatly shaken. Everyone was alarmed, horrified!
What exactly had happened?
Why had such terrifying fluctuations appeared?
Ye Chen naturally sensed it. He abruptly looked toward the Pangu Pass and saw the terrifyingly numerous Peerless Great Terrors entering the Pangu Universe.
No wonder the Wrathful World Divine Venerable had spoken like that. No wonder he had felt something was wrong.
He had just barely resolved the situation with the three Half-Step Overlords. Who would have thought that now, so many Peerless Great Terrors had appeared—the very same group that had stalled the Heavenly Emperor back then. How fearsome they were went without saying.
In the Pangu Universe, all living beings sighed that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor suffered too much. Calamities appeared one after another.
Moreover, each calamity could be described as a situation of narrowly escaping death.
For the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to persist until this moment was truly not easy.
Ye Chen coldly watched the numerous Peerless Great Terrors, focusing his gaze on five among them.
These five were all at the Half-Step Overlord cultivation level.
It was hard to believe. After the incident at the Origin Ancient Path, first there were three Half-Step Overlords, and now there were five more Half-Step Overlords.
Logically speaking, the three Half-Step Overlords had stayed behind because they harbored a special purpose targeting Ye Chen.
But why were these five Half-Step Overlords here?
Even if they shared the same purpose as the three Half-Step Overlords like the Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor, they should have struck when he was besieged by the three Half-Step Overlords.
That was when Ye Chen was at his most difficult, especially after suppressing the three Half-Step Overlords, when his injuries were severe, his Dao Collapse power was almost impossible to suppress, and the Pangu Universe was in a weakened state, unable to provide him with much universe origin energy.
Striking at that time would have been the perfect opportunity to kill Ye Chen.
Even Ye Chen himself believed that facing these numerous Peerless Great Terrors at that time would have been an almost certain death situation, with very slim hope of survival.
However, they did not. Instead, they waited until he had digested everything from the battle of that year, his injuries had completely healed, and he had even advanced a step further before making their move.
This inevitably felt somewhat strange.
Moreover, these five Half-Step Overlords before him were quite unfamiliar.
It was just that Ye Chen had been unable to deduce their origins until now.
He couldn't help but frown, but soon, under the deduction of his Chaos Fate Disc, he understood.
These were the numerous Peerless Great Terrors the Heavenly Emperor had faced alone back then, forced to trap them within the River of Time for an epoch.
There were quite a few great terror-level existences before him, led by five Half-Step Overlords.
They were what remained after the Heavenly Emperor confronted them alone for an entire epoch. Over the past epoch, although the Heavenly Emperor had struggled and carried injuries, he must have used his peerless cultivation to slay many great terrors.
Even Ye Junlin, that disciple, had followed the Heavenly Emperor on that tributary of the River of Time, fighting desperately and bloodily, slaying many powerful existences. In the end, after enduring countless hardships, he became a Supreme Powerhouse akin to a Primordial Giant.
The numerous Peerless Great Terrors who had broken free were led by five Half-Step Overlords—they were five of the famously renowned Thirteen Chaos Emperors from ancient and modern times!
Of course, now only five remained, so they should be renamed the Five Chaos Emperors.
In the boundless ages past, they were all famously invincible Giants.
During that terrifying era of chaos in the early Chaos Sea, where numerous heroes vied for supremacy, there were not only the rulers of the World-Suppressing Heavenly Clan, but also numerous innate Chaos Fiendgods, the Alien Ancient Universe, the Pangu Universe, and many other factions. The struggle was extremely severe, the slaughter horrifying.
During that chaotic era, more than ten Chaos Ancient Universes collapsed.
Even the then-dominant clan—the World-Suppressing Heavenly Clan—lost countless powerhouses, including Giants.
The Five Chaos Emperors were all invincible existences from that era who could look down on past and present, roaming the Chaos Sea, competing for supremacy in the chaotic times. They slaughtered an unknown number of Supreme Powerhouses, their fame built entirely upon the endless flesh, blood, and bones of the Chaos Sea's Supreme Powerhouses.
It was said that the number one innate Chaos Fiendgod of that time—the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord—while commanding numerous innate Chaos Fiendgods, also suffered great losses at the hands of the Thirteen Chaos Emperors back then, nearly perishing.
Of course, the Thirteen Chaos Emperors of that time could not possibly have been at the Half-Step Overlord level.
Later, under the leadership of the Primordial Ancestor, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Immortal Ancestor, after defeating the ruling position of the World-Suppressing Heavenly Clan, the Thirteen Chaos Emperors disappeared.
