Layer upon layer of stone powder was being cut away, continuously floating into the air.

Everyone was closely watching, not daring to miss a moment of what was happening.

Soon, more than half of the Chaos Primordial Stone had been cut away, yet there was still nothing inside. However, no one felt disappointed or shook their heads because the last time the Combat Saint King had cut it down to one-tenth, another Chaos Primordial Stone was found inside, and didn't it yield a priceless Chaos Immortal Egg?

The stone cutting continued, with everyone watching intently.

Soon, only three-tenths remained, but still, no anomaly appeared.

The stone cutting continued.

Finally, when one-tenth remained, everyone began to feel concerned, and Dan Chen couldn't help but look at Ye Chen. Could something have gone wrong this time?

Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brows but did not speak. "Dan Chen senior, please continue."

"Alright!"

Dan Chen became much gentler, perhaps worried about damaging the treasure within, or perhaps afraid it would ultimately result in nothing.

With only one-tenth left of the Chaos Primordial Stone, still, there was nothing.

Crack—

At this moment, a small piece of the Chaos Primordial Stone cracked open, releasing threads of Chaos Ancient Energy, which scattered in all directions, drawing everyone's attention. Many were filled with anticipation; could there truly be a supreme treasure within?

But soon, everyone was disappointed. The Chaos Primordial Stone contained nothing, only a surge of Chaos Ancient Energy rising skyward.

Ye Chen grabbed the surge of Chaos Ancient Energy, peering at it strangely for a long while, shaking his head as if speaking to himself, "This isn't right."

Many were astonished. Even the Combat Saint King's judgment failed, so how could anyone else determine whether these Chaos Primordial Stones contained true Dao Treasures?

It's difficult to determine!

Ye Chen furrowed his sword-like brows for a long time, as if he comprehended something, and quickly turned his gaze to the next Chaos Primordial Stone. "Senior, do you trust me?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen hesitated for a moment, having experienced the first misjudgment, he was hesitant this time, but still nodded. "Let the Combat Saint King speak. After all, it needs to be cut, and there's no order to it."

His words were meant to comfort Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded confidently, "Trust me this time, something real may come out of this piece of Chaos Primordial Stone!"

Following the direction pointed out by the Combat Saint King, everyone fixated their gaze on that piece of Chaos Primordial Stone, immediately looking somewhat dumbfounded.

Because that piece of Chaos Primordial Stone was neither the Flying Immortal, the True Dragon, nor the Undying Immortal Phoenix, which appeared absolutely peerless and supreme. On the contrary, it looked rather ferocious overall, resembling a malevolent ghost, extraordinarily sinister and terrifying, as if it were a Great Evil suppressed for countless ages, about to break free. One could only imagine how ferocious it might be, leaving anyone who saw it trembling with fear.

"This is—"

The Heavenly Great Abilities were all quite puzzled. Why didn't the Combat Saint King point to a different piece of Chaos Primordial Stone but chose this one, stirring doubt and confusion?

"There's a saying in the world: extremes meet. Great Evil will certainly become Great Good, and likewise, Great Good can become Great Evil. They are opposing forces, but at their extreme, they are indeed one." An ancient Great Power spoke, his age far older than many others, nearly reaching his natural limit, like a venerable antique.

However, no one dared to underestimate him because this Old Immortal had once stepped into the Supreme Domain of the Ancient Monarch, but due to his advanced age and fading life force, he reluctantly retreated after three months.

Yet having once set foot in the Supreme Domain of the Ancient Monarch, a person gains an extraordinary perspective, seeing further and understanding deeper, mastering profound Daoist Mysteries. Who would dare to underestimate him?

Even those like Dan Chen and Qin Jiuyou, who were just a hair's breadth away from stepping into this Absolute Peak Power, dared not view him lightly.

Though they were only just short of it, everyone understood how immense that final step truly was—a gap as vast as the earth and sky, a chasm wider than heaven and earth.

It was precisely because of this enormous disparity that they truly realized how formidable and unparalleled the Old Immortal who once crossed into the Ancient Monarch Domain had been. At the very least, his Daoist Laws carried the layer of the King Realm, far exceeding any imaginable invincibility.

The words of this Old Immortal, all the Heavenly Great Abilities had to listen to with seriousness. Could there indeed be an unparalleled and rare priceless treasure within this ghost-like Chaos Primordial Stone?

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the senior is correct. I suspect this Chaos Primordial Stone is sentient, intentionally misleading others' senses, even deceiving me as a Chaos Cultivator. In fact, it is this Chaos Primordial Stone that truly holds the Secret Treasure. Moreover, according to the principle of extremes meeting, the ghost stone must contain something immeasurable. But whether it's a Great Evil or a Supreme Treasure, I cannot guarantee."

Dan Chen was about to step forward, but Ye Chen spoke up, "Senior, may I personally cut it this time?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen did not stop him and nodded, "Saint King, please!"

Ye Chen strode forward, started his work, and slapped down with a palm, infused with surging Chaos Ancient Energy, the hand rising and falling like a blade.

With a puff, a vast amount of stone dust flew into the air.

Moreover, this chaos primordial stone, resembling an evil ghost, truly appeared sinister, even emitting a mournful, piercing scream, as if evil ghosts were wailing miserably, utterly creepy and terrifying to hear. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Suddenly, the entire Emperor Clan's Hall underwent drastic changes, with blood rain flying in the air, a bleak blood mist spreading and floating, accompanied by streaks of blood thunder slashing, terrifying everyone present.

What on earth is buried within the ghost stone to cause such horrifying scenes?

However, everyone present were Heavenly Great Abilities, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid of the Ancient Universe, fearing none of it. Especially Ye Chen, whose Chaos Bloodline Power surged vigorously within, directly exploding into infinite Divine Light and scattering all dreadful anomalies.

Among them, he quickly cut out half of the ghost stone, layers of stone dust continuously flying upwards.

Crack—

At this moment, Ye Chen stepped forward, with Chaos Ancient Energy accompanying his palm, he slapped down with a thunderous boom, directly tearing the entire ghost stone apart.

Roar—

The most horrifying howl sounded within, the mournful howl of evil ghosts, the anomalies that had retreated suddenly reappeared, more intense and terrifying, overwhelming, submerging everything here.

It seemed as if thousands of evil ghosts were about to be born, submerging this place, indescribably frightening.

The screams continuously rang, shattering the heavens, with hauntingly horrific scenes unfolding, as if the Gate of Hell had opened, countless hellish evil ghosts charging towards Ye Chen.

Clang—

Ye Chen directly summoned the Chaos Tripod, accompanied by Chaos Ancient Energy, it collided forward with a boom, the mouth of the tripod transformed into an endless abyss, swallowing all the evil ghosts in an instant.

Moreover, Ye Chen let out a long roar, the Chaos Ancient Energy exploding directly, boundless and engulfing, intending to devour everything completely.

Ultimately, with a thunderous boom, the Chaos Tripod swallowed everything.

At the same time, Ye Chen completely cut open the ghost stone, attracting the instant attention of all the supreme beings present, and at the same time, Ye Chen had already resonated with the Desolate Great Halberd, golden light bathing his Chaos Sacred Body, focusing intently on everything inside.

"Ah—"

Suddenly, a terrifying howl erupted, unfathomably vast and horrific, causing the entire Emperor Clan's Hall to tremble violently, the Emperor Marks within autonomously resurrecting, also emitting light.

Rumble—

The Desolate Great Halberd within Ye Chen also resurrected, continuously glowing, Emperor's Might unfolding, engulfing him.

However, all the heavenly great abilities suffered the most dreadful impact, some great abilities nearly had their bodies torn apart, but they were ancient great abilities after all, even those Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters were protected and thus unharmed.

Meanwhile, the Pill Emperor Tripod of the Pill Emperor Clan descended immediately, emitting infinite light, instantly engulfing the Divine Platform, avoiding the most terrible crisis.

Sure enough, this ghost stone contained a Supreme Secret Treasure.

Ye Chen's eyes interwove with Dao Runes, Chaos Ancient Energy flowing, fixating unblinkingly on the cracked ghost stone, from within which infinite blood light flew out, depicting the terrifying imagery of a Blood Sea Futu.

It was a blood-stained cosmic heaven and earth, heavenly stars crumbling, the Vast Continent shattering, billions of beings withering, indescribably tragic.

A True Dragon traversing the sky fell, staining the stars with blood.

An Ancient Monarch exploded, annihilating the Vast Star Domain.

The most fearsome mythical Great Evil exploded, shattered to pieces.

Also, a Supreme appeared, grand and towering through ancient and modern times, leading an endless army, waging war on the heavens, charging towards past and future...

What a tragic scene it was, the Great Universe collapsing, representing the fallen Epochs of time past.

Supreme emerged, Emperor waged war, Supreme Immortal demonstrated, every moment showcasing the strongest battles of ancient times.

But suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes widened, for he saw amidst the blood-drenched heavens and shattered Sea of Stars, a colossal ancient ship sailing slowly, unfathomably vast, carrying the heavens, sweeping across the entire Ancient Universe, unimaginably grand, making the heavens seem insignificant—

Slaughter Immortal Ship!
