Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's stone halberd cleaved down towards the Chaos Sea once more, carrying the Eternal Heavenly Venerate power that could annihilate everything.
Whether it was Ye Chen or anything within the Deficient Primordial Realm, all were to be utterly obliterated.
An absolute killing intent!
Boom—
But at this moment, Great God Pangu upon the River of Time also made his move.
In his hand was unmistakably the Pangu Battle-axe, identical to the one wielded by that exiled Eternal Heavenly Venerate, yet it now appeared in his grasp.
There was no need for speculation; like Great God Pangu himself, this was not from this era, but from far before the opening of the Deficient Primordial Realm. Now, raising the Pangu Axe, he struck horizontally across the ages.
This was a supreme strike that traversed the River of Time.
With this single axe swing, it severed all eternity.
Even though he was not of this era, even though he had long since perished in the past, even though such an action would disrupt the flow of ages, even though there would be immense karmic backlash—all of it was rendered null and void by this one axe strike.
Eternity was supreme, transcending all, including time itself.
Especially Great God Pangu, a great existence who could once contend for the title of Heavenly Venerate King against Primordial Heavenly Venerate. This was a contingency he had laid down at the very origin of the Deficient Primordial Realm, having long since seen through the ages, witnessed all future events, and thus launched this strike.
Instantly, Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's halberd strike was blocked!
The entire world was shaken!
This was the legendary Great God Pangu who had opened up the Chaos Sea. He truly existed, and with such overwhelming might that suppressed past and present, striking from the very origin of the Chaos Sea, crossing the River of Time to clash with Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable who had now intruded into the Deficient Primordial Realm.
Ye Chen, now covered in blood, saw the peerless, majestic figure of Great God Pangu. He only felt the Pangu Heart within his chest cavity beating violently, surging forth with even more Eternal True Blood.
It was resonating. The Pangu Heart continuously gushed forth vast amounts of Eternal True Blood, curbing Ye Chen's injuries.
Facing Great God Pangu, who in his time had nearly suppressed the entire Origin Land single-handedly and could contend for the Heavenly Venerate King's seat—even if it was only the power from before the opening of the Deficient Primordial Realm—Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable wore a grave expression, not daring to be the slightest bit careless, hurriedly raising his stone halberd to defend.
Boom—
All Heavenly Venerate power was completely isolated by Great God Pangu through supreme means, not allowed to act upon the Chaos Sea.
Otherwise, this single clash would have been enough to shatter all Chaos Ancient Universes within the Chaos Sea, utterly annihilating them.
The power of an Eternal Heavenly Venerate had long since transcended everything, truly supreme.
Apart from another Eternal Heavenly Venerate, no one could kill them, nor was there any other force capable of doing so.
Not even karmic power could kill them.
The River of Time, representing all ages of the Deficient Primordial Realm, swept through everything. Great God Pangu, coming from before the opening of the Deficient Primordial Realm, traversed the river of time to wage a great battle against Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
One terrifying clash after another, yet all were isolated.
No one within the Chaos Sea witnessed it, all completely shut out by Eternal laws. They only knew an unimaginable, ultimate duel was taking place.
At this time, Ye Chen arduously reassembled his physical body, gasping for breath continuously.
Although Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable had only launched two strikes, they were both strikes from an Eternal Heavenly Venerate, each employing the absolute supreme power of the Eternal level. Killing a Supreme Realm Overlord would not be a problem.
In the current era, beneath the Eternal Heavenly Venerates, only Ye Chen, who had stepped halfway into the Eternal domain, could withstand them.
But even so, Ye Chen had paid an extremely heavy price—his body shattered to dust. Even after reassembly, his vitality was severely damaged.
Especially since he was in the midst of undergoing his tribulation. Eternal calamity permeated every inch of his being, grinding away his life force at every moment. He was only holding on by relying on his own formidable strength and the continuous beating of the Pangu Heart, which provided Eternal True Blood.
Now, Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's two strikes had directly shattered Ye Chen's body and ground away most of his life force. Furthermore, the Eternal laws belonging to Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable remained within his body even after reassembly, continuously grinding away his life force.
This intervention had completely shattered the delicate balance within him.
Rumble—
The Eternal calamity erupted violently, causing intense tribulation light to erupt from every inch of his body, bit by bit annihilating his Chaos Saint Body.
"Master!"
Within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, Shi Baitian and the others revealed looks of deep concern. They could see that although their master, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, had reassembled his body, his life force was plummeting rapidly.
Clearly, their master's situation was extremely dire.
Ye Chen coughed up blood repeatedly, also sensing the predicament within his body.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
He had finally endured eighty percent of the Eternal calamity, on the verge of success. He never expected that at this moment, the Eternal Heavenly Venerates of the Origin Land could no longer sit still, directly descending with their true bodies into the Deficient Primordial Realm to deliver a dimensional strike against him.
The balance had been completely shattered.
As powerful as he was, there was nothing he could do.
Before his eyes, it seemed only the path of death remained.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
At the highest reaches of the Chaos Sea, the most terrifying Eternal-level battle raged.
No one knew how much time passed before it finally ended.
Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable did not continue his descent; perhaps he had already been repelled by Great God Pangu.
But Great God Pangu also no longer appeared.
That was likely the final vestige of power Great God Pangu had left in this world.
All beings within the Chaos Sea felt sorrow.
Because the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's ascension to Eternal Heavenly Venerate had failed. Now covered in blood, he radiated an aura of Dao Collapse far more intense than before.
And this time, it was real, no deception.
As powerful as he was, he had long been unrivaled and revered within the Chaos Sea. There was no need to design a trap to lure out hidden great evils.
However, precisely because Ye Chen was too powerful, he absolutely could not return to the Pangu Universe. The moment that Dao Collapse aura appeared, the entire Pangu Universe would disintegrate because of it.
"Master!"
Shi Baitian and the others saw Ye Chen, covered in blood, not returning but instead heading deep into the Chaos Sea.
They all knew their master feared the Dao Collapse aura on his body would affect the Pangu Universe and other Chaos Ancient Universes. Therefore, he was traveling far away to prevent further impact.
Ye Chen gasped with difficulty in the deepest part of the Chaos Sea. Boundless chaos energy entered his body, attempting to repair his wounded form. But even after draining half the Chaos Sea's chaos energy, it was like a black hole that could not be filled, nor could it effectively stop his injuries from worsening.
Others could not approach either.
At this point, Ye Chen was utterly exhausted, his origin depleted. He could no longer prevent the spread of the Dao Collapse force, which would greatly affect anyone who came near, including Immortal Venerable-level experts. If they got too close, they would be severely affected, directly experiencing Dao Collapse and perishing.
However, there were exceptions.
Heavenly Emperor Qingtian arrived, appearing before Ye Chen.
He was immensely powerful, approaching the Supreme Realm level, arriving with the vast cosmic might of the Alien Ancient Universe.
Only he could withstand the intense Dao Collapse force radiating from Ye Chen's entire body and approach.
But even he could only resist for a limited time. If it lasted too long, Heavenly Emperor Qingtian would also be eroded by the Dao Collapse force!
