The body of Di Zangchuan trembled, a profound chill running through him, as if a sharp shard of ice and snow had pierced his heart, freezing the very blood within his form.

Boom!

A cyan light flooded in from the void, instantly enveloping Di Zangchuan’s body, wrapping him tightly within its embrace.

That sharp, translucent thread of energy collided with the cyan light, only to be blocked and completely neutralized, vanishing into nothingness.

“Yinguang, attempting to kill my subordinate the moment you arrive—that’s hardly polite, is it?” A light, crisp voice echoed from the heavens. Immediately after, the spatial barrier of the Ancient World violently tore open a massive rent, from which a plume of pitch-black light drifted down, followed by a woman entirely cloaked in black robes, descending slowly from the sky.

Upon seeing the black-robed woman, the light emanating from the silver-white coffin intensified dramatically, surging several feet high. “It turns out to be Venerable Heixin. I didn't expect you to be here, nor that you’d be so quick.”

“Including the Ancient World, when it comes to speed, I am naturally first. It’s just that your Sky World is comparatively closer to this location,” the black-robed woman stated calmly.

Before any sound could emerge from the silver-white coffin, two colossal black ruptures suddenly appeared across the entire sky. Out of them floated an ancient, dark-blue starship and a pure white couch, settling in the mid-air.

Rumble!

The power of the surrounding Ancient World violently compressed inward, tightly enveloping these two objects. A distorted world force emerged from the dark-blue starship, actively resisting the world force of the Ancient World, as did the snow-white couch beside it.

Whenever World Supremes entered the Ancient World, they immediately faced its restrictions and suppression. While they wouldn't be utterly annihilated instantly, their power would be severely curtailed, leaving them with very limited world force to exert.

If they were to approach the core origin of the Ancient Continent, the world force there was countless times stronger than in the periphery, making their destruction a real possibility.

“Since you’ve all arrived, let us join forces to suppress her,” a chilling voice resonated from the silver-white coffin, brimming with killing intent. “While the other World Supremes from the Heart Realm haven't arrived yet, destroy her!”

The occupants of the dark-blue starship and the snow-white couch acted in unison, immediately unleashing three beams of light saturated with intense world force, which sliced through the void like streaks of luminous blades.

The black-robed woman’s expression shifted slightly, and she quickly retreated. With a grab of her hand, she seized Di Zangchuan, whom she had just saved, holding him suspended in the air, and hurled him towards the beam of light shooting from the silver-white coffin.

Di Zangchuan felt a bitter ache in his heart, his pupils contracting. He poured all his strength into bolstering his body, steeling himself to resist.

Before such World Supremes, he was truly nothing more than a minuscule ant.

Boom!

World force enveloped Di Zangchuan. His body instantly disintegrated, his soul even being extinguished into ash, vanishing completely from this world. The moment his physical form disappeared, an Earth Spring connected to his body, like a jade-green flood dragon, pierced through the void and drilled into the black-robed woman’s form.

“It’s an Earth Spring, after all.” The black-robed woman’s eyes lit up. She had initially intended to trade heavy injuries to brute-force the two beams of world force rushing toward her. To find that Di Zangchuan had left behind an Earth Spring upon his death, she swiftly changed her maneuver, pulling the emerald-green spring water from her high chest, lightly augmenting it with residual world force, and swinging it toward one of the incoming world forces.

Crash!

The Earth Spring collided with the world force, instantly shattering and vanishing, while the power of that world force was simultaneously nullified before the spring.

Against the remaining beam of world force, the black-robed woman no longer felt fear. With a delicate flick of her wrist, all the world force she could summon flowed out, channeled through her fingertip and projected outward as a wisp of black mist toward the oncoming world force.

The two opposing world forces met, yet not a single sound was emitted, as if ice meeting raging fire, they canceled each other out silently.

However, beneath them, the vast burial ground suddenly fractured with immense chasms, and then the entire ground began to sink downward. It didn't sink far before it violently collapsed into countless stones and sand, completely vanishing from the void. In its wake, an area spanning over ten light-years collapsed into a vast, gaping pit.

This was the power of the World Force.

A power that reigned over the heavens, transcending all things.

“Hmph!” A cold snort emerged from the silver-white coffin. “They got lucky. Don't let her escape; let’s destroy her together!” As his words fell, a fierce surge of power erupted from the silver-white coffin, hurtling rapidly toward the black-robed woman.

The black-robed woman’s expression turned cold. Her body swiftly tore through the void, communicating with the spatial barrier of the Heart Realm, preparing for an immediate retreat. Here, she was alone; a concerted attack from the three opponents would be enough to gravely injure her, so leaving first was the priority. However, the world force shot out from the silver-white coffin this time was met by two streams of seven-colored light descending from above, as if shot from another dimension, completely crushing that world force into dust.

Beholding these illusory, kaleidoscopic rainbow lights, the three Supremes of the Sky World felt their hearts sink. They looked up, their gazes piercing through their respective weapons, seeing a rift tear open in the sky—a distorted spatial hole—from which two figures slowly materialized: a man and a woman, unmistakably the two supreme powerhouses from the Time Realm.

These two supreme figures were surging with intense energy, causing the surrounding space to ripple and fluctuate as if on the verge of collapse. The pressure of the Ancient World bore down on them, diminishing—Fastest text updates from Shumi Lou—

With so many supreme powerhouses gathered here, even the oppressive might of the Ancient World was becoming somewhat difficult to resist.

A peripheral zone like this was akin to the tip of a finger; the strength at the fingertip naturally couldn't compare to the wrist, and the wrist’s strength was far less than that of the waist. The closer one got to the core of the Ancient World, the more potent the original energy of the Ancient World became. In such an edge region, World Supremes could still maintain free movement.

Seeing these two figures, a bright spark flickered in the black-robed woman’s cool eyes, and she flashed instantly to their side.

“I didn’t expect people from your Time Realm to meddle in this affair,” the silver-white coffin uttered with a chilling sound.

“You Sky World bastards are still so shameless. Three grown men ganging up on one woman—it truly disgraces the envoys you send out,” the woman among the Time Realm Supremes said. Her figure was elegantly slender, with high, prominent breasts and snow-white skin, her devastating beauty reminiscent of a graceful princess. However, her eyes were bright and large, carrying a certain look of willful arrogance.

She was indeed willful, continuing after her initial statement: “Do you men even know that a man who lays a hand on a woman is not truly a man?”

A cold laugh issued from the silver-white coffin. “We transcend the common populace and look down upon myriad realms; we are no longer mere men. The distinction between masculine and feminine is just one process in the world’s evolution. With a mere thought, we can transform into any blade of grass, tree, or flower in this universe. We have long surpassed the human scope—we are the Masters of Worlds!”

His words were factually correct.

But this remarkably beautiful woman responded with utter disdain, “In my eyes, you are not even as good as the lowest tier of men among the most base of humans.”

“You say all this merely to stall for time,” the silver-white coffin sneered. “Your Time Realm and the Heart Realm have always had dealings. For the two of you to help her fight us will naturally cost you considerable effort, and you might even be severely injured. For someone like us, once grievously wounded, it takes at least a million years to recover even slightly.”

“You’ve seen through it; that is indeed the case,” the willful woman conceded without argument, raising her head frankly. “If a real fight breaks out, I guarantee it won’t just be us who suffer serious injuries; you will too.”

“Heh!” The silver-white coffin suddenly charged toward her, emanating a dazzling and intense silvery light, like a meteor streaking across the sky, slamming ferociously towards the willful woman.

The men behind him, on the dark-blue ancient starship and the exquisite couch, charged forward right behind him.

The willful woman frowned, a cold, sharp light flashing in her eyes. She turned back, joining the black-robed woman and the other figure. A powerful surge of world force erupted from all of them, causing the surrounding area, millions of kilometers wide, to enter a river of time, where all spatial particles reverted to their most primal energy.

In the space surrounding these figures, no energy remained—not even the nine fundamental elements; even space and time had vanished. Only the purest, most original world power remained.

Just as these figures prepared for the fierce battle, a massive rupture tore open the sky, emitting a profound, imposing aura.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three beams of light rushed out from this gigantic rent, hovering suspended in the void: a Shenzhou-like starship, a magnificent palace, and a man with a robust physique.

If Ye Chen were present now, he would certainly recognize this man as the Bronze Supreme from the Chaos Realm. However, unlike the one Ye Chen encountered previously, this one bore a massive gash across his chest, as if his body had been ripped open by something, and his overall aura was not as full as before, showing a trace of weakness.

Seeing these three figures, the silver-white coffin abruptly halted, and the two figures behind it stopped as well. The Supremes from the Time Realm on the other side also mobilized their energies, holding back their power. (To be continued)
