The structure of the Ancient Battlefield was a nine-layered pyramid. Except for the lowest chaotic cosmos, the higher one ascended, the stronger the suppression from the Supreme Chaos became. Meanwhile, the upper eight layers existed in a shattered state, composed of countless fragments of chaos. At present, including the human race, nine peak civilizations were active below the seventh layer of the Ancient Battlefield.

The Shadow War God Race's core territory, the Shadow Domain, was located on the fifth layer. The environment of the Shadow Domain was best suited for the Shadow War God Race's habitation and also served as a major node rich in the energy of Supreme Chaos.

But today, that dark domain, which was vital to the Shadow War God Race, had been annihilated by a human. Thousands of ancient-titan-level and dozens of true spirit-level beings of that race had been reduced to ashes in a single terrifying strike.

The breath of destruction was so extreme that it had reached the very source of annihilation itself. It had wiped out the Shadow Race's true-spirit-level principles from their foundation, erased their origin of life, and with one blow, pierced through the fifth, sixth, and seventh layers of the Ancient Battlefield.

The waves of power that spread from that blow shook the entire battlefield.

Then, a thunderous roar belonging to one of the first golden sequence chains Eternal Heavenly Gods resounded through the chaos. "Reincarnation! Do you truly think your human race has become invincible in the Ancient Battlefield?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A supreme-level fluctuation belonging to a being of the Sixth Primordial Heaven erupted, piercing through space-time and shaking dimensions. Almost at the same time, several Primordial Sovereign and Primordial Emperor auras burst out from various regions. The entire Ancient Battlefield fell into chaos, startling countless powerful beings.

Boom!

A silver galaxy rotated. A silver palace trembled upon a celestial body as massive as a star, and a colossal figure slowly emerged within the distorted radiance. It was a Heavenly Silver-Winged Ant, standing a million kilometers tall.

Its entire body was encased in heavy armor as it stood upright, dragon scales covering its surface. Its head was ferocious like an ancient beast of destruction.

Gazing toward the fifth-layer battlefield where the devastating energy had emerged, the Heavenly Silver-Winged Ant's eyes grew solemn. "What terrifying power... It feels like it has surpassed the Sixth Primordial Heaven. Is it an outsider from the Seventh Primordial Heaven? Or has the human Heng truly returned?"

Auras of Primordial Sovereigns and Primordial Emperors erupted one after another across the battlefield. Vast temporal and spatial energies surged into the heavens, stirring the chaos and filling the void with awe-inspiring pressure.

Some of those mighty presences appeared as endless gray fogs spanning billions of kilometers. There was also a gigantic purple beast tens of millions of kilometers long, rivaling a super giant star. A being of the Sixth Primordial Heaven even stepped out from a "moon" formed by coagulated blood seas, bowing its head slightly as its gaze fell upon the fifth-layer battlefield where the Shadow War God Race resided.

But the mightiest of them all was the Heavenly Flame Divine Race, whose domain covered half of the fourth layer of the Ancient Battlefield. They had turned half a cosmos into a sea of fire. Millions of chaotic fragments and void continents were ignited by white flames, burning like endless stars releasing searing heat and light.

Dozens of colossal giants emerged from within that blazing ocean, surrounding an apocalyptic flame titan a billion kilometers tall. Instantly, one Primordial Supreme[1], two Primordial Emperors, two Primordial Sovereigns, and twelve primordial-level beings released their auras, igniting the heavens with fire that scorched the chaos itself.

The giant seated upon the throne of flames lifted its head slightly. Its burning gaze pierced through the battlefield, its deep, majestic voice reverberating across space-time.

"Such immense power... and yet so unfamiliar. Guta, there is an undying being invading the battlefield."

In response, an ethereal, indistinct voice echoed throughout the sea of flames and across every corner of the Ancient Battlefield. "That colossal beast is indeed unfamiliar. It does not belong to this battlefield. But it is aligned with the human race, so this cannot be considered an invasion."

"Because of that one's return, the humans have officially declared war upon the Golden Divine and Shadow War God Races who sought to assassinate Chu Batian in secret. This is an internal conflict within the Ancient Battlefield. We have no reason to intervene."

Countless primordial beings turned their gazes in the direction where another wave of primordial-supreme-level might had erupted. Some were filled with dread, others with awe.

Chen Chu and the True Radiant Sky Emperor had entered the battlefield too swiftly. None of the peak civilizations had yet received word that the human race had produced another undying existence.

Even the four peak alien civilizations had been caught unprepared. The news of the True Radiant Sky Emperor's declaration of war, which had echoed through the human domains, announcing the War of Civilizations against the Shadow War God Race, had already shaken every race.

Wars between peak civilizations erupted every few centuries or millennia, and such beings had long grown accustomed to them. Since the upper echelon of both sides were usually balanced in strength, and other civilizations acted as checks, those wars were often limited to Primordial Sovereigns and below. They were fierce but controlled, lasting decades or centuries before dying down.

But no one had expected that the humans would simultaneously wage war on two peak civilizations this time. Moreover, they had not hesitated to launch their final battle from the very beginning, deploying every Primordial Sovereign and above.

"So it's human reinforcements, and they've allied with a Seventh-Primordial-Heaven colossal beast!" The Heavenly Flame Race's Primordial Supreme's expression turned grim. That was troublesome.

The assassination plot against Chu Batian, the one suspected to be the returning Heng, was no secret. Although the Heavenly Flame Race hadn't participated, there were only two civilizations in the Ancient Battlefield that bore deep enmity toward humanity.

Excluding the Purple-Maned King Hou, who had been terrified into submission by Heng in the past, it was obvious who the remaining culprits were, and the revelation that the Golden Divine Race had not only participated but led the plot made things worse.

What truly troubled the Heavenly Flame Race's Primordial Supreme and the others, however, was that Seventh-Primordial-Heaven beast. That level of power could only be resisted if all the Ancient Battlefield's peak beings joined forces. Any single civilization was utterly insignificant before an undying existence.

Only the mysterious Heavenly Punishment Race possessed the strength to challenge it. But the Heavenly Punishment Race never intervened in the Ancient Battlefield's internal affairs unless an external invader appeared. They acted as the overseer of the Sea of Chaos and the one to unite all civilizations in defense. Since the Heavenly Punishment Race refused to act, the humans would completely dominate the Ancient Battlefield once they crushed the Golden Divine and Shadow War God Races with the might of that undying beast.

When that day came, would the other peak civilizations bow in submission? Would they withdraw from the battlefield? Or... would they break the rules and unite with the Golden Divine and Shadow War God Races to resist humanity? For a long moment, the gazes of the Primordial Supremes flickered with indecision and deep calculation.

As all the primordial powerhouses watched the three races' top-level battle through countless divine abilities and secret arts, a different scene unfolded near the seventh layer of the Ancient Battlefield.

There, streaks of white thunderbolts radiated divine majesty as they leapt and crackled. It was like they had the power to crush chaos and judge the heavens themselves. Amid the vast thunder sea stood a simple black stone palace.

A white-haired "human" sat cross-legged within, hair cascading over his shoulders. His eyes blazed like lightning, and a white lightning-mark shimmered between his brows, exuding the profound and awe-inspiring aura of primordial chaos.

In front of him, a twisted void shadow slowly condensed into a humanoid form, emanating a strange, warped presence that made space itself distort.

Gazing at the void projection before him, the Heavenly Punishment Race's Supreme, Guta, spoke faintly, "Void, remember what you said."

The True Void Emperor's voice echoed as if it came from the depths of the void. "Don't worry. My human race has always honored its word. You should know that well, Guta. After this war, humanity will claim only the nodes belonging to the Shadow War God Race. As for the Golden Divine Race's territory, anyone interested may take it."

"As for that king of the Dragon Palace, it does not belong to this world. Once it helps us annihilate the two great civilizations, it will leave. It will not interfere with the rest of you."

The True Void Emperor's projection silently dissipated with a faint smile. After he vanished, another white-haired figure appeared in the quiet black-stone palace.

A lightning-mark glowed between his brows as he said calmly, "Guta, do you actually believe him?"

Gu Ta replied indifferently, "If I don't, what of it? Do you have the confidence to deal with that newly ascended Sixth-Primordial-Heaven human?"

The palace fell silent. The black stone floor rippled like a dark lake beneath them, becoming transparent and revealing a vast scene of devastation.

A towering figure surrounded by a sea of blood strode through chaos, sixteen phantom arms raised high. Wherever he passed, one main city after another was obliterated, incinerating countless warriors of the Shadow War God Race into ashes. Their primordial powerhouses could not withstand even a single strike before that human.

Solar explosions destroyed the heavens and earth, and the gray millstone erased all life. Every move tore apart Primordial Overlords and Primordial Monarchs, shattering their true forms into dust. Even the three Primordial Sovereigns who joined forces were blown apart by a halberd light stretching billions of kilometers long.

The two Heavenly Punishment Race's Primordial Supremes who observed the battlefield grew solemn at this display of might. And all of it had occurred in mere moments.

As Chen Chu's unstoppable power suppressed the Shadow War God Race, slaughtering its mighty ones, the Dragon Emperor was quietly watching the Shadow War God Race's Primordial Supreme who had barely escaped its destructive breath.

Its cold, predatory gaze made the Shadow War God Primordial Supreme's scalp prickle. It roared in fury, "Who are you?! My Shadow War God Race has no quarrel with you! Why destroy our main city?!"

The Dragon Emperor had no interest in answering. Its vast black-red wings spread wide, and chaos rioted within hundreds of billions of kilometers. Endless turbid currents converged into a tsunami of destruction that drowned the heavens and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The whirlpools of chaotic qi blotted out the sky, tearing space and crushing everything.

"Don't think you're the only powerful one here!" The Primordial Supreme roared skyward. Layers of dark barriers unfolded around it, extending deep into the dimensional strata.

Boom!

Upon entering the sixth dimension, its aura surged ten-thousandfold. Each Primordial Heaven allowed one to penetrate into a deeper dimension, expanding the scope of power a hundredfold with every level. At the sixth, that amplification reached astronomical levels, as the Primordial Supreme's power now spanned over ten light-years through the deep dimensions.

The spread of principles brought with it an exponential rise in force. Though not literally to the power of six, the might of heaven and earth within those ten-plus light-years enhanced its energy nearly ten thousandfold.

Of course, it was just energy, not pure primordial principle might. But it was enough to elevate the Primordial Supreme's strength to an unprecedented peak. Its true form expanded to over a billion kilometers.

Boom!

The Primordial Supreme spread its arms wide, each palm spanning millions of kilometers. It shattered the chaotic vortex with one motion, unleashing tidal shockwaves as its colossal obsidian hands slowly reached for the Dragon Emperor.

Time and space disintegrated around those palms. The principles collapsed into a pitch-black annihilation field whose sheer presence shook the heavens.

Damn big fellow. Don't think being huge makes you strong. Ao Tian is invincible!

On the Dragon Emperor's head, the hundred-kilometer-long Silver Colossal Dragon roared in excitement, unafraid of the looming palms that filled the sky. Its confidence lay in the one beneath it, the Dragon Emperor itself.

You want to compete in size?

The black-and-red colossal beast spread its wings, stirring a storm of chaotic destruction. It opened its jaws, exhaling annihilating breath as the power within its body erupted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten golden Heavenly Gates appeared behind it, each wrapped in dark-golden dragon-shaped chains that radiated terrifying energy, as if sealing creatures so dreadful that their descent would destroy the world. At the same time, blood-red and black lightning burst from the Dragon Emperor. Its body grew even more, scales bulging as boundless darkness exploded outward from its core.

Amid that eruption, the sound of chains snapping echoed through the void. In that instant, an aura so vast it made the entire Ancient Battlefield tremble burst forth. Darkness swallowed everything. That was the concept of darkness itself.

Even the brightest light became dim before that conceptual blackness. What made every living being tremble in fear was not merely the descent of darkness, but the terrifying aura that came with it. The invisible bloodline pressure shook even the souls of the Primordial Supremes.

Even the Shadow War God Primordial Supreme, who had been burning space-time origin and drawing upon the power of the sixth dimension in preparation for a final battle, now gaped in terror.

A trillion-kilometer-long colossal beast slowly emerged from within the darkness. Its entire body glowed with a deep dark-purple radiance that illuminated the Ancient Battlefield shrouded in shadow.

Everyone saw the terrifying beast, as if it had stood there since the dawn of heaven and earth.

Simply by standing still, its formless power distorted space-time. The chaotic fragments across the fifth layer of the Ancient Battlefield shattered, while the barriers separating the sixth and fourth layers were torn apart. The supreme and overwhelming pressure of its bloodline made countless souls quiver. Many instinctively knelt to the ground, unable to look directly at its form.

Yet not all beings were subdued by that heavenly-tier bloodline. A few proud and powerful alien true spirits, unwilling to yield, instinctively released their auras in defiance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, those alien powerhouses' true forms exploded into blood mist, their consciousness collapsing into nothingness.

The Dragon Emperor, now in its End Form with ten Heavenly Gates fully opened, possessed power beyond description. Its strength seemed to transcend even the limits of the Seventh Primordial Heaven, causing the two Heavenly Punishment Race Primordial Supremes observing from afar to tremble.

Of course, the Shadow War God Primordial Supreme was far from worthy of such solemnity. The Dragon Emperor simply wanted to test the combined might of its life-bound ability and Chen Chu's super innate ability.

The result was overwhelming.

The power was so great that even its unseen pressure immobilized the Shadow War God Primordial Supreme. Chaos itself solidified, freezing all movement, and it could only watch helplessly as that devouring maw descended from the heavens.

Boom!

With one bite, the black-purple beast tore the entire Ancient Battlefield open, leaving a colossal rift that pierced through heaven and earth. A trillion-kilometer-wide black void spanned the fourth to the seventh layer of the universe, linking every barrier as if the worlds themselves had been bitten through.

At the very instant the seventh layer of the Ancient Battlefield was torn apart, a hazy multicolored radiance spilled from the depths of the black void, illuminating the vast chaos.

"Who has shattered the seal of the Supreme Chaos?"
