Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

He was a near-immortal, an invincible being in the human realm, yet he was severely injured by another powerful being in the same human realm!

Jiang Hao didn't think there was anything to be proud of in defeating the golden-armored man.

He's just a so-called near-immortal, not a near-immortal on the path to immortality in the mortal world, so he's nothing special.

Jiang Hao had been in seclusion for years, trying to comprehend that mysterious cultivation technique, but unexpectedly, a time-space passage suddenly appeared, and a powerful enemy emerged.

The enemy arrived so suddenly, and it was of the same origin as the powerful enemy described by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Jiang Hao understood that this was a true enemy of his side, although he didn't know how these two had found this place or how they had suddenly appeared here.

But it did happen. However, Jiang Hao was not afraid. If the enemy came, then he would fight!

He also wanted to test the immortal's strength to see if he was as powerful as the legends said, and if he was truly invincible.

I want to see if the immortal bleeds or dies!

"boom!"

After a brief silence, the entire Origin Realm erupted in chaos!

"It really is the Heavenly Emperor! It was the Heavenly Emperor who made a move! He severely injured that golden-armored man who was just claiming to be invincible with a single strike!"

"Hahahaha! Did you hear that? His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is asking him! 'You want to see me?' His tone was arrogant and condescending, completely disregarding the golden-armored expert. My god, that's so satisfying!"

"I saw it! Look at that golden-armored expert's expression, like he'd just eaten a dead rat! It has to be the Heavenly Emperor. I knew the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't let us down!"

"Heavenly Emperor! His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is invincible! One strike! He cleaved him like this with a single strike from a distance! He was so arrogant just now!"

"We're saved! The Origin Realm is saved!"

On countless stars, beings who had just been plunged into the abyss of despair erupted in thunderous cheers and cries—the ultimate catharsis after surviving a desperate situation.

Many monks were so excited that they trembled and tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.

Jiang Hao's simple sentence brought them more peace of mind and ecstasy than any impassioned declaration.

Deep within the forbidden zone of life, the deathly silence was broken.

Ancient divine thoughts surged violently, filled with unprecedented shock and relief.

"He...he really did it? He severely injured that near-immortal with a single strike from a distance?"

The voice of a supreme being still carried disbelief.

"Just how powerful is Chaos? We can feel the strength of that golden-armored man even across the endless starry sky; it's no exaggeration. But in front of Chaos..."

Another supreme being murmured, but didn't finish his sentence; the meaning was self-evident.

"Good! Good!" A supreme deity with a slightly irritable temper said with pleasure.

"Let these two outsiders be so arrogant! Do they really think there's no one left in my Origin Realm? Let's see how cocky they can be now!"

All the supreme beings, regardless of their previous attitude towards Jiang Hao, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and even felt a sense of pride.

After all, the golden-armored man and the white-robed immortal were invaders who stood on the opposite side of the entire Origin Realm.

Jiang Hao's overwhelming strength at this moment is their only and greatest hope.

Jiang Hao ignored the two foreign enemies and instead turned slightly to look at the weakened Dragon Ancient Celestial Venerable in the distance.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and gently brushed it away.

Without any dazzling special effects, a gentle yet overwhelming invisible force descended from afar, stabilizing the continuously dissipating energy of the Dragon Ancient Celestial Venerable.

And it infused its shattered dragon body with a wisp of pure and powerful life force.

The aura at the hideous wound was quietly dissipated, and the broken bones and tendons began to slowly reconnect.

"Old Celestial Venerable, you are very kind." Jiang Hao looked at Long Gu, his tone calm and with a hint of approval. "In times of crisis, it is rare for someone to step forward and protect this world."

Jiang Hao did indeed develop a certain fondness for this old dragon.

There are many old geese who have fallen silent in the heavens, but those who are the first to stand up and face the enemy when they know they are no match for them deserve recognition for their courage and sense of responsibility.

The Origin Realm needs this kind of talent.

Dragon Ancient Celestial Venerable felt the warm and vast power within his body. Gratitude flashed in his dragon eyes, but even more so, unparalleled shock.

He raised his enormous dragon head, his voice weak yet sincere:

"Your Majesty flatters me... This old dragon is ashamed. My skills are insufficient, and I was unable to hold off the enemy for even a moment. Instead, I have troubled Your Majesty to save me. The Origin Realm is also my homeland, and all living beings share the same origin. Although this old dragon is old and frail, I know that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. How could I sit idly by?"

His enormous dragon eyes glanced at Jiang Hao with a complex expression, then he looked with extreme apprehension at the ever-calm white-robed immortal An Qiong, and transmitted his voice:

"The Heavenly Emperor's divine powers are now as profound as an abyss. The old dragon is in awe. However, that white-robed immortal's aura is ethereal and lofty, incompatible with the world. He is probably not someone to be trifled with."

The safety of the Origin Realm now rests on the shoulders of the Heavenly Emperor. The old dragon's crippled body would likely be a burden; therefore, I shall withdraw and not disturb the Heavenly Emperor's defenses.

Dragon Ancient Celestial Venerable knew that he was completely unable to intervene in the next level of the battle.

He knew there was no point in staying, so he figured it would be better to recover quickly and perhaps then he could handle some of the aftermath.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly: "Go and heal your wounds in peace. I'll take care of things here."

Dragon Ancient Celestial Venerable said no more, let out a low murmur, and his enormous dragon body transformed into a stream of light, disappearing back into the depths of the Dragon Realm.

Throughout the entire process, the white-robed immortal simply watched quietly.

He has only watched indifferently since Jiang Hao appeared.

His expression was calm, showing no intention of stopping or interfering, as if everything before him was merely an insignificant interlude.

It seemed as if everything was under his control, and even when Jiang Hao severely injured his subordinate, the golden-armored man, he was not surprised.

He has absolute self-confidence!

He certainly possesses absolute confidence, which stems from his unparalleled strength.

It originates from the seemingly insurmountable chasm between the realms of immortals and humanity.

No matter how strong or amazing Jiang Hao was, he ultimately failed to achieve immortality. In his eyes, he was still just a more powerful mortal.

After Long Gu left, the white-robed immortal focused his attention entirely on Jiang Hao.

Surprisingly, there was no hostility in his deep eyes; instead, his admiration grew even more pronounced.

Like a highly skilled craftsman discovering a peerless gem, the attitude is one of admiration and superiority, like that of a creator.

"You're quite good," the white-robed immortal said, his voice still calm, yet carrying a condescending admiration.

"Since our realm conquered the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, I have traversed many worlds, conquering countless realms, and have seen countless geniuses of the human realm."

Many among them are exceptionally talented, but in the realm of humanity, you are the first to have tempered yourself and the Great Dao to such an extreme level.

"My name is An Qiong. Even in the realm of humanity, I am inferior to you." The white-robed immortal spoke calmly, yet his words shook the heavens!

The white-robed immortal uttered these words calmly, without the slightest fluctuation in his expression.

He felt neither embarrassed nor jealous of Jiang Hao's perceived inferiority in the realm of humanity.

His tone was calm, and his eyes were indifferent, revealing an extreme level of inner strength, transcendence, and self-confidence.

Upon hearing this, the myriad beings who had just been excited by Jiang Hao's appearance were once again shaken by this seemingly casual remark!

A living, breathing immortal, an immortal from beyond the heavens.

Moreover, they were enemies. Even one of the enemy immortals admitted that he was inferior to the Heavenly Emperor in the human realm!
