Taiyi charged forward, seizing the stone bell to engage Ye Wudao in battle.
However, the stone bell was firmly grasped by Ye Wudao. No matter how Taiyi tried to activate it, the bell could not break free from Ye Wudao's hold, only trembling incessantly.
"Suppress!"
Ye Wudao roared, forcibly suppressing the stone bell while swinging the stone hammer to strike Taiyi in fury.
Boom—
Taiyi's figure was sent flying, blood streaming everywhere. He was wounded.
Naturally, Ye Wudao pressed his advantage, attacking continuously and unleashing various supreme divine abilities.
Although Taiyi was strong, he could not withstand it. After a series of fierce clashes, his peerlessly powerful body was covered in countless cracks, like porcelain, nearly on the verge of shattering.
Boom—
In the end, Taiyi was blasted apart by Ye Wudao, blood light splattering.
Ye Wudao tore open Taiyi's body, bathing in blood with wild fervor, standing tall at the highest point of the cosmic battlefield.
At this moment, the entire arena fell silent.
The powerhouses of the Six Eternal Heavenly Races looked utterly grim, for they had completely lost the first match.
They had come to stir up trouble, but in the end, everyone had been defeated, including Taiyi, the strongest supreme genius of the Heavenly Race on whom great hopes had been pinned.
"This stone bell is not bad. I'll take it."
Ye Wudao directly left with Taiyi's stone bell, withdrawing from the battlefield.
Seeing this, the Taishang Overlord of the Taiyuan Heavenly Clan wanted to stop him, but Qian Xun stepped forward coldly and said, "Since you lost, you must pay the price. This is my brother's spoils of war. If you're not satisfied, then go to war with my Chaos Heavenly Mansion."
Go to war with your ancestors for eighteen generations!
The powerhouses of the Taiyuan Heavenly Clan were so furious they wanted to curse their ancestors for eighteen generations, but they dared not start a war in the slightest.
This was the territory of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, and starting a war with the Chaos Heavenly Emperor would be nothing but seeking death.
Qian Xun said, "Good. Since you have no objections, that's much better than I imagined."
The Taiyuan Heavenly Clan powerhouses really wanted to curse out loud. How could they dare have any objections when you're threatening us like this?
Powerhouses from the Heavenly Race had long entered the cosmic battlefield to retrieve the six strongest supreme geniuses.
Taiyi's gaze was dim as he said, "I'm sorry. I lost."
"Don't blame yourself. You lost to the son of a Heavenly Venerate, and he has lived a second life. Your loss is not unjustified," the old chieftain of the Taiyuan Heavenly Clan could only comfort Taiyi this way.
For the Taiyuan Heavenly Clan, Taiyi, this seed of a Heavenly Venerate, was more important than the lost stone bell.
His invincible confidence must not be damaged. He had the hope to impact the Supreme Heavenly Venerate realm; at the very least, becoming a Taishang realm Overlord would not be a problem. There was even a certain chance for him to become an Ancient Great Venerate, still a great existence dominating the rise and fall of the myriad heavens.
Taiyi nodded, saying nothing more, for it was meaningless now.
At the same time, the six Heavenly Races glanced at each other, then each sent out their second group—all were the strongest Quasi-Giants of the Heaven-Mending realm. They stepped forward together, and some were Extreme Realm Quasi-Giants, extremely powerful, fully comparable to Great Void-level combat strength.
This time, the Chaos Heavenly Mansion also had Quasi-Giants step forward.
They were Quasi-Giants cultivated in this epoch, very powerful, not much inferior to the six Heavenly Races.
They also battled within the vast universe.
The battle was fierce. The Chaos Heavenly Mansion also sent six Quasi-Giants to fight the strongest Quasi-Giants of the six Heavenly Races.
But the final result was not surprising—the Chaos Heavenly Mansion lost.
After all, the other side was the six Heavenly Races, and the Chaos Heavenly Mansion had only been established for a short time.
The six Heavenly Races had come prepared.
Of course, although the six Heavenly Races defeated the Heaven-Connecting realm powerhouses of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, they dared not kill them or press their advantage, because the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was still here.
At the Heaven-Penetrating level, the Chaos Heavenly Mansion sent out Qian Wentian, also the son of Qian Xun, who had previously defeated Wan Tai Imperial Venerable.
Qian Wentian entered the vast universe, and several other Heaven-Penetrating level Giants from the Chaos Heavenly Mansion also appeared, all outstanding among their peers.
"Don't underestimate this Qian Wentian. He is the eldest grandson of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, with dense Heavenly Venerate bloodline and possessing Celestial Venerable Aptitude. He once defeated my clan's Wan Tai Imperial Venerable," said the new chieftain of the Wanxuan Heavenly Race, a Taizhen-level half-step Overlord, far weaker than the other Heavenly Race chieftains. But as a Heavenly Race chieftain, his authority was still high. Now he analyzed for the other five Heavenly Races.
Of course, the six Heavenly Races had come prepared and naturally had the strongest Heaven-Penetrating Giants of this level, namely the Heaven-Penetrating Giant of the Shifang Heavenly Race, named Shijin, who was extremely fearsome.
Shijin strode forward, glanced at Qian Wentian, and said, "I really want to know if you are as strong as the legends say. I hope you're not too weak."
As he spoke, he was the first to enter the cosmic battlefield.
Heaven-Penetrating Giants from the other Heavenly Races also entered the battlefield.
Qian Xun said to Qian Wentian, "Be careful. This person is very strong, invincible among peers, and famous even in the Origin Land. He once sealed a Great Void-level Giant."
Shijin was a renowned top-tier Heaven-Penetrating Giant in the Origin Land, having cultivated for half an epoch, his cultivation profound and unfathomable.
Especially in past battles, he had sealed and suppressed several Great Void-level Giants. His combat strength could not be underestimated or measured.
Qian Wentian naturally would not be careless or underestimate him. He said, "Father, please rest assured. Your son understands!"
As he spoke, he led the other five Heaven-Penetrating Giants of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion into the cosmic battlefield.
At this moment, the vast universe had grown larger and had been repaired by Ye Chen with supreme means, becoming boundless and even more magnificent than before.
Moreover, with strands of Eternal Heavenly Patterns reinforcing it, no matter how intense the battle, it could not destroy this vast cosmic battlefield.
Before the repaired Upper Realm, the six Heaven-Penetrating Giants from each side stood tall, releasing terrifying auras.
However, although the Chaos Heavenly Mansion had six Heaven-Penetrating Giants, compared to the Heaven-Penetrating Giants of the six Eternal Heavenly Races, their momentum seemed considerably weaker.
Because those were the strongest Giants of the Heaven-Penetrating realm selected from the six Eternal Heavenly Races, all cultivated in this epoch, with transcendent talent. Although they did not possess Celestial Venerable Aptitude, they had Taishang Aptitude and were very likely to become Taishang realm Overlords in the future.
As for Shijin, he was a Heaven-Penetrating Giant with Celestial Venerable Aptitude, like Taiyi, but his cultivation was far more powerful by countless times.
Shijin was tall with ordinary features, wearing dark Nether Iron battle armor. Around his body revolved numerous Great Dao runes, each rune like a great world, containing unparalleled sealing power.
Faintly, one could sense terrifying bloodline power emanating from within his body, capable of shaking the great universe.
Everyone knew of Shijin's fearsomeness. He was no ordinary Heaven-Penetrating Giant; not only did he possess Celestial Venerable Aptitude, but he was also the grandson of the Shifang Heavenly Venerate, with an extremely pure Heavenly Venerate bloodline.
Due to certain reasons, Shijin was unsealed and emerged only in this epoch. With merely half an epoch of cultivation, he had already cultivated the Shifang Heavenly Venerate's sealing path to an unfathomable depth.
In the past, he had sealed not just one Great Void-level Giant, displaying extraordinary, world-shaking cultivation.
He looked at Qian Wentian and said, "I heard you defeated the Wanxuan Heavenly Race's Heavenly Venerate seed, Wan Tai Imperial Venerable, in the Heaven-Mending City, ranking eighth on the current Heaven-Penetrating Ranking."
