The Chitian Emperor Ancestor snorted coldly. "My son was killed. How could This One stand idly by? This One knows it was the descendant of the Wasteland Desert who acted, and your son was also involved. Suppressing Prison, This One only needs you to hand over the Wasteland Desert's descendant and your son. This matter can then be written off."
The Suppressing Prison Great Emperor replied indifferently, "Chitian, back then you schemed to frame This One and the Wasteland Desert. That matter has yet to be settled with you. Now you actually want This One to hand over my son and the Wasteland Desert's descendant? Do you truly think this is still the past?"
"Today, since you are here, This One will take this opportunity to demand justice for the past!"
In the past, the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor and the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor were far from being comparable to the Chitian Emperor Ancestor in strength. But now, the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor had also stepped into the ranks of the Supreme Giants. How could he still be as helpless as he was back then?
As his words fell, the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor made his move. Boundless Emperor Power manifested, enveloping the sky above the Southern Wilderness Boundary City. With a single thought, heaven and earth shattered, unleashing a terrifying, peerless force that struck toward the Chitian Emperor Ancestor.
When a Supreme Giant acted, it was no trivial matter.
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor sneered coldly. "Suppressing Prison, do you truly believe that just because you've reached the Tong Tian Realm, you can challenge This One? You have merely set foot in this domain for a mere hundred years, while This One has been in this realm for several epochs. You are far from being a match for This One."
"Today, This One will let you know that even among those at the same Tong Tian Realm, the gap between individuals can be as vast as heaven and earth!"
The two Supreme Giants clashed in the sky above the Southern Wilderness Boundary City. In an instant, the firmament above directly collapsed and was annihilated, everything vanishing.
The supreme, heaven-defying power that could collapse all Daos bloomed forth, inspiring awe even in Ancient Great Emperors, who dared not approach.
At this moment, a Supreme Giant appeared within the Southern Wilderness Boundary City, attempting to mediate. "Both of you are the pillars of our Southern Wilderness. Please cease your conflict and sit down for a peaceful discussion!"
However, neither the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor nor the Chitian Emperor Ancestor would stop. The enmity between them had accumulated for too long, to the point of being a sea of blood and hatred.
The Suppressing Prison Great Emperor could not let the Chitian Emperor Ancestor go, for the latter had nearly caused his death and the destruction of his Dao in the past, and had also caused the death of his sworn brother, the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor.
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor, in turn, could not tolerate the rise of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor.
In a flash, both vanished, entering the Void Space. Supreme Laws beyond those of ordinary Emperors manifested like mist, obscuring everything. The world could not witness the battle of such Supreme Giants.
Within the Southern Wilderness Boundary City, other Supreme Giants also acted, isolating the terrifying destructive fluctuations from the clash of the two Supreme Giants, preventing them from descending upon the city and causing widespread carnage.
The world waited with bated breath. The battle between the two Supreme Giants would have far-reaching consequences.
But the Supreme Laws, like mist, blocked all vision. Only Emperor-level Emperors could pierce through this Law-mist and catch a glimpse of the battle between such Supreme Giants.
There was one exception: Ye Chen. He lifted his gaze toward the firmament and witnessed the clash of the two Supreme Giants. It was incomparably terrifying; with every casual movement, they unleashed a fearsome might capable of collapsing millions of miles of heaven and earth. Even an Ancient Great Emperor would likely be severely wounded, if not killed, by a single blow.
Although the battle between Supreme Giants should have been infinitely profound and mysterious, Ye Chen, for some reason, felt that he could understand it all, which was very peculiar.
Moreover, he could even see that although the battle between the two Supreme Giants was fierce, gradually, the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor began to fall into a disadvantage.
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor was too powerful. Even though the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor was also a Supreme Giant, he was being suppressed.
It was probably because the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor had entered the Giant realm for too short a time, while the Chitian Emperor Ancestor had been a Giant for several epochs, his accumulation far surpassing the former's.
Ye Chen felt a surge of anxiety. He sensed that before long, the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor would be defeated.
If that happened, he too would face utter disaster.
Although, deep down, he had a subconscious feeling that the Chitian Emperor Ancestor could not kill him.
But Ye Chen dared not gamble.
What to do?
Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered that when he faced the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, he had felt that as long as he performed a bow of respect, the other party would be unable to bear it and suffer a backlash.
He didn't know why, but he had a special feeling that no one in the world could truly withstand his formal bow.
Let's try it.
Ye Chen aimed toward the Chitian Emperor Ancestor's location and prepared to bow and kowtow. But he had only slightly bent his waist.
Within the Void Space, the Chitian Emperor Ancestor, who was locked in fierce battle and suppressing the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, abruptly felt a sudden, intense sense of dread and immense peril. Before he could react, a supreme power from the unseen depths descended.
It was impossible to resist, impossible to withstand.
It was as if a supreme existence transcending all of time and space had launched a dimensional strike.
Boom—
Without any warning, the Chitian Emperor Ancestor abruptly exploded within the Void Space. Blood radiance soared to the heavens, flooding an immeasurable expanse of the Void Space.
The Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, stared in astonishment at the scene before him. He had originally felt that he was no match for the Chitian Emperor Ancestor and that prolonging the fight would likely lead to the danger of his own demise.
He never expected the Chitian Emperor Ancestor to suddenly meet with such a calamitous misfortune.
What had happened?
The Suppressing Prison Great Emperor did not know. The multiple Emperors observing the battle did not know. Even the several Southern Wilderness Supreme Giants were stunned.
When had the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor become so powerful that he could invisibly blast apart an old-timer Giant like the Chitian Emperor Ancestor?
He was merely at the early Tong Tian Realm. He shouldn't be this powerful!
However, when they saw the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor's face also filled with shock and bewilderment, they grew puzzled.
What on earth had happened?
Why had the Chitian Emperor Ancestor suddenly exploded? It didn't seem like the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor's doing.
The Suppressing Prison Great Emperor had no reason to hide it.
Ye Chen, who had also witnessed all of this, confirmed his speculation.
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor could not withstand his bow of respect, even if it was just a slight bend of the waist.
Why was that?
However, Ye Chen had sealed away his past memories. He did not know that he was the most supreme and greatest Heavenly Venerate of this Origin Land, on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao that controlled the Quantitative Calamity's cycle of destruction and rebirth, possessing his own Eternal Heavenly Dao.
A Heavenly Venerate stood at the absolute pinnacle of all time.
In all of heaven and earth, aside from another Heavenly Venerate, who could withstand a Heavenly Venerate's bow?
They would inevitably suffer the backlash of the unseen Heavenly Dao's power. How could a mere Tong Tian Realm Giant like the Chitian Emperor Ancestor possibly withstand it? He directly exploded, his body shattered to pieces.
Within the Void Space, endless blood radiance flowed in reverse as the Chitian Emperor Ancestor began to rapidly reassemble.
Although the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor was well-versed in the principle of striking while the enemy was weak and taking his life, and seized the opportunity to attack fiercely, causing the Chitian Emperor Ancestor to suffer severe injuries as a result, the latter still managed to reassemble successfully, albeit at a tremendous cost.
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor stood far off in a corner of the Void Space, looking at the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor with an unprecedented look of horror and terror.
What had just happened? Why had he met with such a sudden calamity, abruptly shattering into pieces?
Even more terrifying was that at the moment of explosion, his origin, soul, and the like had been directly annihilated by thirty percent.
This was more dreadful than his body suddenly self-destructing.
