The Origin Ancient Path appeared, incomparably magnificent, comparable to the Desolate Forbidden Land of old. It materialized out of thin air within the Chaos Sea, piercing through countless realms.
Fortunately, the location where Ye Chen was situated was at the remote border of the Chaos Sea, with few living beings. Even if there were any, they had long been relocated.
"The Origin Ancient Path!?"
All parties across the Chaos Sea were stunned, unable to comprehend why, at this moment when the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was severely wounded and on the brink of death, he would still summon the Origin Ancient Path.
Could it be a final desperate struggle, an attempt to charge into the Origin Land before his demise?
But the Origin Ancient Path was so damaged and broken—could it still succeed?
Was the final plan finally about to begin?
Heavenly Emperor Qingtian also wore a grave expression.
Back when Ye Chen left, he had left behind corresponding imprints.
Finding them again was not a difficult task.
However, before that, the Origin Ancient Path needed to be completely repaired.
Boom—
The entire Chaos Sea trembled violently. Many realms were suddenly pierced through as numerous colossal ancient path worlds appeared.
It was Ye Chen taking action, operating supreme divine methods to summon the various special ancient paths scattered throughout the Chaos Sea.
These ancient paths bore a vague resemblance to the Origin Ancient Path, though they appeared much smaller, akin to the two Origin Ancient Paths created by the powerhouses of the myriad heavens in the past. Yet, their final directions all pointed distantly toward the same location—the Origin Land!
These were the Origin Ancient Paths Ye Chen had continuously evolved over nearly an epoch, similar to the two Origin Ancient Paths evolved by the various powerhouses of the Chaos Sea back then.
In the past, in order to enter the Origin Land, he had repeatedly charged toward it within the Chaos Sea. Although he failed each time, on another level, he was also evolving Origin Ancient Paths, attempting to forge a new shortcut.
In the current era, only a Supreme Realm Overlord like Ye Chen, with his mastery of the Chaos Great Dao reaching such a level, could repeatedly evolve them.
However, compared to the true Origin Ancient Path, they fell far short.
Nevertheless, the greatest purpose of these numerous Origin Ancient Paths was for this very moment.
Under Ye Chen's summons, all the Origin Ancient Paths converged in one place.
"Merge!"
Ye Chen roared, directing the multitude of small Origin Ancient Paths toward the true Origin Ancient Path. He unleashed quasi-Eternal supreme means, forcibly fusing them together.
To make it whole!
That's right—to completely restore this damaged and broken Origin Ancient Path.
After a full twenty-three small Origin Ancient Paths merged into the true Origin Ancient Path, the true path underwent significant changes. It no longer appeared incomplete; many of its tattered gaps had been filled, nearly fully restored to its state during the era when the five Supreme Realm Overlords led the Chaos Sea powerhouses in their assault.
The denizens of the Chaos Sea trembled.
Even though the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had been grievously wounded by an Eternal Heavenly Venerate, he still possessed unimaginable contingencies.
Now, the repair of the Origin Ancient Path had succeeded.
"Forty-nine Origin Sacred Artifacts, come!"
Ye Chen shouted. From all corners of the Chaos Sea, forty-nine beams of sacred light surged forth—the forty-nine Origin Sacred Artifacts.
Over the past epoch, the Origin Sacred Artifacts that had been blasted across the Chaos Sea back then had long been retrieved by him.
Now, the Origin Sacred Artifacts were reunited.
Infinite radiance erupted!
An ancient and mysterious Origin Heavenly Gate stood tall and appeared. The other Origin Sacred Artifacts opened a new path at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
Just like when the five Supreme Realm Overlords led the Chaos Sea powerhouses.
The Origin Land was right before them!
The powerhouses of the Chaos Sea were boiling with excitement, their hearts stirred beyond measure.
The Origin Ancient Path had reopened; hope of seeing the Origin Land again had emerged.
But something was still missing.
Because when the Origin Ancient Path was breached back then, the Eternal Heavenly Venerate appeared and restored the thirty-three heavenly passes that had been left behind.
To break through, they would still need to face the projections of the myriad heavens—the projections of the nine Eternal Heavenly Venerates.
"All the preparations over countless millennia have been for today. Come!" Heavenly Emperor Qingtian called out.
Boom—
The Chaos Sea quaked violently as one supremely powerful figure after another appeared, wantonly unleashing terrifying auras.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Master!"
From the Pangu Universe, a vast army of supreme powerhouses emerged.
At the forefront were giants like Shi Baitian, Jian Wuhen, Wang Xiong, the Primordial Ancient Devil God, and Yan Wushuang, followed by numerous quasi-giants and Supreme Beings. An extremely magnificent Chaos Heaven Mansion was also towed along as the powerhouses arrived at the restored Origin Ancient Path.
Simultaneously, the phantom of the Primordial Immortal Realm also materialized. Immortal Venerable figures appeared, led by none other than Pan Dao Immortal Venerable, bringing forth a host of immortals.
The Eternal Heavenly Realm, that secret great world of the Origin Land, had also been nurtured by the Chaos Heaven Mansion over the past epoch, producing a sea of powerful experts, among whom were no shortage of Supreme Beings or higher-level supreme powerhouses.
At the same time, one supremely powerful figure after another manifested. They were all peerless experts who had either risen to prominence or accumulated strength over time to break through their realms during the past epoch.
Now, these supreme powerhouses had all appeared.
Although they could not compare to the army that campaigned against the Origin Land back then, the past epoch had seen an eruption phenomenon within the Chaos Sea, giving birth to an unknown number of supreme powerhouses.
Moreover, behind these supreme powerhouses, the shadow of the Chaos Heaven Mansion could vaguely be seen.
"Father!"
Di Wentian also appeared. Now an initial-stage giant, he could be considered among the very top echelon of supreme powerhouses in the Chaos Sea, comparable to an Immortal Venerable.
All the preparations over an epoch had been for this day!
"Master!"
Disciples like Shi Baitian arrived by Ye Chen's side. Simultaneously, a majestic ancient hall, no less grand than the Chaos Heaven Hall, appeared—the Purple Extreme Soaring Hall of the former Heavenly Emperor.
Within the Purple Extreme Soaring Hall, purple qi boiled, accompanied by blazing Heavenly Emperor power that entered the Primordial Beginning Ancestral Temple.
At this moment, when the Primordial Beginning Ancestral Temple and the Purple Extreme Soaring Hall met, an extraordinary, mighty power emerged.
Under the influence of this power, Ye Chen felt his condition improve significantly. The Eternal calamity within his body was further suppressed.
"Little friend."
Pan Dao Immortal Venerable also appeared. Behind him, a simple and ancient immortal hall materialized, carrying the most ancient and primordial aura of the Immortal Dao.
This was the Immortal Ancestor's Hall, which Pan Dao Immortal Venerable had found. It now appeared as well.
It too rushed toward Ye Chen.
Boom—
When the Immortal Ancestor Hall, the Purple Extreme Soaring Hall, and the Primordial Beginning Ancestral Temple—the three Supreme Realm Overlords' dao sites—met, an even more special change occurred, giving rise to a supreme, Eternal aura.
Yes, the dao sites of the three who had each obtained one-third of Great God Pangu's soul back then, now meeting, triggered a special transformation.
For a time, Ye Chen felt the Eternal calamity within his body being completely suppressed. Even more, his injuries began to show signs of improvement.
