Within the system space.

With no new faces appearing, and after sharing memories and power, all the Cao Ya members expressed their envy of Cao Ya from "Covering the Sky".

His universe has weathered the crisis, and he has become an emperor. His goal has been achieved, a perfect ending. As for the subsequent mortal immortals, there's no use in rushing.

"However, with your newly increased power, my cosmic plan can now be implemented," Cao Ya of [The Legend of the Shepherd God] suddenly said with a smile.

"Sigh, it's still not enough." Cao Ya from the [Eternal Life Realm] shook his head and said that even a five-star mid-level peak, or even a five-star high-level peak, is not the most top-tier existence in the [Eternal Life Realm] universe.

Stone King and Supreme Ancestral God at the Great Perfection, aren't they both six-star beings?

Not to mention those Emperor-level ones.

Cao Ya of [The Tomb of the Gods] and Cao Ya of [The Primordial Era] both sighed softly.

“In my era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the pinnacle of humanity, was enough—well, of course, it would be best if one could be a master of immortality!” Cao Ya from [Perfect World] pondered.

In the chaotic ancient times, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were cursed, making it impossible to become an immortal. Even powerful figures at the peak of the human realm, such as Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng, could not ascend to immortality. Anyone who dared to try would face great disaster.

The calamity of darkness has a long history, involving quasi-immortal emperors and even seven-star immortal emperors. At the very center of the storm, even five-star strength is too weak to escape the calamity of darkness.

"Fortunately, we in these universes don't have this problem," Cao Ya of Panlong laughed. He was already a main god and could participate in the main god meetings of the Panlong universe. As long as he didn't provoke the four rule masters, he would be fine.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ya and the others from [Stellar Transformation] smiled. There was no major chaos. They only needed to follow the steps and cultivate steadily to slowly improve.

Compared to other places, it is indeed much safer.

[Covering the Sky] Cao Ya stroked his chin, feeling that he could not be satisfied with the Great Emperor Realm. He racked his brains to embark on the Immortal Path in the Mortal World.

******

【Covering the Sky】The Universe.

After Cao Ya attained enlightenment, the era of the Death Emperor lasted for 20,000 years. During this period, Cao Ya manifested his divine power and no longer secluded himself in the Death Star region to study the will of death in heaven and earth.

Several powerful clans wanted to follow him, but Cao Ya refused them all.

He had neither the desire to establish the Ancient Holy Land nor any intention to leave behind his bloodline.

"I can live forever, why do I need descendants?"

"I haven't met the right woman either."

Cao Ya analyzed the universe and found that under the rule of the Death Emperor, some desolate star regions began to come alive. This abnormal phenomenon surprised people, who believed that the Death Emperor had achieved great feats and might be another Heavenly Emperor.

Twenty thousand years later, in the sixteenth year of the Heavenly Emperor's calendar, Cao Ya had enough of being an emperor, so he voluntarily concealed his imperial path and stopped suppressing all paths.

Another ten thousand years passed, and the Emperor's path to power completely disappeared. A new emperor could emerge in this world once again.

However, with the end of an era, there are not many outstanding talents left. Even Great Sages are rare, and Quasi-Emperors are so rare that even after traveling the entire universe, it is difficult to count them all.

However, Cao Ya occasionally appears, traveling through countless realms, leaving behind some legacies. If fate allows, he might comb through the starry sky, absorbing the deathly stillness of heaven and earth, and integrating it into the Eternal Blue Gold Emperor Sword, making its light dim and unfathomable.

People know that the Emperor of Death, like the Heavenly Emperor, is an existence that has broken through the limits of lifespan and can live forever.

The existence of two emperors, shining brightly throughout the universe, is a spectacle unprecedented in millions of years.

More than ten thousand years later, the heavens suddenly changed. Heroes rose up everywhere, and countless heroes with all kinds of physiques appeared. They fought their way to the level of the fourth-level Immortal Saint, and even the sixth-level Immortal Great Saint. Even those who reached the Quasi-Emperor realm were still fighting for the Emperor Fruit.

Everyone knew that a new emperor was about to be born.

In the Death Star Zone, Cao Ya restrained his Death Emperor Dao; otherwise, under the influence of death intent, even the universe would be destroyed, let alone someone who had not yet attained the Dao.

Inside the Heavenly Court, Ye Fan also awoke with a start and used the three Imperial Cauldrons to seal his own Great Dao.

"Will the Great Emperor of this era still be Di Que?" Cao Ya looked around and saw Di Que fighting with the Prince of the Light Clan, which shattered the starry sky. In the end, they surpassed many heroes and reached the final step.

"It was said to be a rare and great era, but in reality, in the end, only two ancient people truly had a chance."

Cao Ya shook his head.

Di Que was a powerful figure from the late Primordial Era. He once competed with the Fighting Saint Emperor and held the upper hand. He was considered to be the last Saint Emperor of the Primordial Era. However, the Old Monkey rose to power by force, defeated Di Que, and became the Saint Emperor, which surprised everyone.

But Di Que was powerful enough, being the lifelong rival of the Fighting Saint Emperor, leaving him with severe Dao injuries.

In the late ancient times, Di Que was heartbroken and on the verge of death. Unexpectedly, by chance, he had a great fortune. He was sealed by the divine source and was only revived in this life.

Having learned of the existence of the Heavenly Emperor and the Death Emperor, and after consulting ancient texts and understanding events from tens of thousands of years ago, Di Que's fighting spirit was reignited. He entered the Emperor's Path, fought against the geniuses of various races, and won one victory after another.

Only the Prince of the Light Clan is his adversary.

The Light Clan, also a descendant of the Great Emperor, possesses the Divine Refining Pot, an imperial artifact.

That imperial prince was also a figure who had been sealed away since ancient times.

Their struggle was both adversarial and a testament to their mutual respect and friendship. In the end, however, Di Que prevailed, defeating the Prince of the Light Clan and ascending to the Emperor Realm.

The Prince of the Light Clan, unfortunately, could only become an unconventional cultivator.

After Di Que attained enlightenment, he visited the Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan in the Heavenly Court and also went to the Death Star Zone to spar with Cao Ya.

Facing the cultivators of the heavens, Di Que frankly admitted that he, the Great Emperor of this era, was no match for the Heavenly Emperor and the Death Emperor. They were far superior to him simply in terms of breaking through the boundary between life and death.

Because he was an ancient person, Di Que's reign was quite short; he passed away eight thousand years later.

Before his death, Di Que had no regrets.

The heartache of the ancient times can be made up for in this life. By attaining the realm of emperors, one can leave a mark in various historical records and once again stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancient holy emperor.

Many unconventional cultivators who attained enlightenment were actually missing such an opportunity. Di Que filled that gap, but Gai Jiuyou, Chuanying, Ning Fei, the Emperor's son of the Bright Clan, and other unconventional cultivators from the past did not have such an opportunity.

Ten thousand years after Di Que passed away, his Dao traces vanished, and a new era dawned, with all races vying for supremacy. Yet, it was a god-slaying insect that reigned supreme.

The God-Slaying Insect Emperor, at his peak, attempted to enter the Heavenly Court, but was flicked away by Ye Fan with a single finger, and no living being has entered the Heavenly Court's territory since.

Afterwards, another Chaotic Body appeared. One was a Chaotic Body from the mythical era reappearing in the present world, and the other was a proud daughter of the Heavenly Court. The two Chaotic Bodies amazed people throughout history, and all other talents became mere foils.

At the critical moment, the Heavenly Emperor emerged from seclusion and sealed the Chaos Body of the Heavenly Court, forbidding it from taking the final step. The Great Emperor could not seal it; not everyone can live on like him and Cao Ya.

Meanwhile, another Chaos Body King Bo reached the pinnacle and proclaimed himself the Chaos Heavenly Emperor!

In his prime, the Chaos Emperor challenged both the Heavenly Emperor and the Death Emperor, but was defeated each time.

In the end, even the Chaos Emperor could not escape death. In his later years, he entered the path of immortality, and after bursting forth with blazing light, he turned into ashes.

"Even a single immortal in the mortal realm would find it difficult to enter the immortal realm, let alone a great emperor."

Over the millennia, Cao Ya has also embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world. With the combined power of various systems, his combat strength has surpassed that of a mid-level five-star cultivator and has initially climbed to the high level of a five-star cultivator.

If placed in the chaotic ancient era, they could be called "immortals"!

In this world, it remains a matter between the path of immortals and the path of humans.

The difficulty of becoming a Mortal Immortal is a thousand times greater than that of becoming a True Immortal!

"Bang!"

A slight sound, just a wisp, destroyed a dead star, turning it into dust.

Cao Ya and Ye Fan were sparring, confined to the space between their fingers and palms, yet the Dao principles flowed, as if there were three thousand worlds constantly being created and destroyed.

In the end, Ye Fan prevailed.

Cao Ya sighed softly. He had also embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world, but the distance he had traveled was not as far as Ye Fan's.

Moreover, Cao Ya was well aware that he was only able to achieve this by relying on his longevity.

Immortality is not achieved by realizing this.

The cause-and-effect relationship between them is different from that of Ye Fan.

"If everyone could live forever, then all the great emperors of ancient and modern times would probably have reached that point," Cao Ya thought to himself.

"My path to immortality is still lacking something. I've decided to start the rebirth process anew," Ye Fan said.

Cao Ya's heart stirred; he knew that the opportunity for Black Emperor and the others was about to arrive.

"However, I am the Great Emperor, and I have no obsession with the innate holy body and Dao embryo. How could I be like that dog?"

Cao Ya's path to immortality differs from Ye Fan's. He is free from the deathly will of heaven and earth and does not need Nirvana. When he reaches the end, he will naturally be reborn.

Although Cao Yaben already possessed the number of eternal life.

Throughout history, every powerful figure who has embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world has their own unique insights. This includes figures such as the Emperor, the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable, the Undying Emperor, the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, Ye Fan, and even Cao Ya himself.

Their paths to immortality may be best suited to themselves, but not necessarily to others.

After a joyful drinking session, Ye Fan left the Death Star Zone and, in the 300,000th year of the Heavenly Emperor Calendar, lived his seventh life, experiencing countless lifetimes in the mortal realm, where he entered the human world to experience life after life.

In the end, the Black Emperor found an opportunity and discovered the Innate Dao Embryo. After persuading Ye Fan's disciple Xiao Song and the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, he intentionally guided Ye Fan to fall for the trap, unite with the Innate Dao Embryo, and give birth to a child.

However, that has nothing to do with Cao Ya anymore.

He entered the system space again, sharing his experiences over the past 100,000 years, along with his power, to help other Cao Ya and thus receive an upgrade.

Ye Fan was still in Nirvana. After personally sealing his innate Dao embryo and son, Ye Fan was carried by the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things and wandered through the starry sky to comprehend the principles of the universe.

At this moment, Cao Ya remembered something and went to the Heavenly Court. Sure enough, he found that the Undying Emperor had attacked and the Flying Immortal Waterfall had appeared. Under the miraculous circumstances, one of the Undying Emperor's arms was able to cross the world barrier and appear in the human world. Holding the Undying Heavenly Blade, which had been transformed into an immortal weapon, he shattered the Heavenly Court's defenses with a single blow. Ye Yishui, who had a congenital holy body and Dao embryo, was in imminent danger.

"Beast!" Black Emperor awoke with a start, enraged.

Xiaosong is currently in the Enlightenment Realm, almost about to take the final step and become a Great Emperor. Although he was awakened, he is still improving.

Even when they joined forces, they were no match for the Immortal Emperor with just one hand.

"Undying Emperor, your actions are still the same kind of trash." Cao Ya spoke, his deathly aura spreading and blocking the five-colored immortal light. As he walked, he slapped Xiao Song down from the Enlightenment Realm.

He also casually covered the heavens with a divine light, protecting the celestial court.

“Cao Ya? You can form an alliance with me and become an immortal together,” said the Undying Emperor.

"Get lost." Cao Ya unleashed a single attack, blasting the Undying Heavenly Blade away.

The Undying Emperor is very strong, but separated by a world, how could he be a match for Cao Ya?

Of course, even so, the Immortal Emperor's single hand could easily kill the current emperor.

It possesses the power of immortals!

"Buzz..."

The powerful figures who had been sealed away in the forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Court awoke, but it was too late; the Undying Emperor had already been defeated by Cao Ya.

Ye Fan, who had been revived, returned to the starry sky, his eyes filled with killing intent.

If it were directed at him personally, Ye Fan wouldn't think much of it.

But the immortal emperor was aiming at a child.

"He's going to analyze the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo in order to deal with the Great Emperor Wushi!" the Black Emperor said angrily.

"On the path to immortality, I will surely slay the Undying Emperor!" Ye Fan declared resolutely.

At the same time, Ye Fan thanked Cao Ya.

Besides him, only Cao Ya could deal with the Undying Emperor.

Everyone else was far inferior.

Cao Ya returned to the Dead Star region where he had lived in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years. In the hundreds of thousands of years that followed, time flowed like water, and all sorts of heroes emerged. Many ancient people who had been dormant for a long time were also revived. They were unwilling to wait any longer and wanted to take a chance to prove themselves as emperors. If they could step onto the path of immortality in the mortal world, they could also live forever in the mortal world like the Heavenly Emperor and Cao Ya.

Some people succeeded in becoming emperors, such as Tai Chu and Di Huang, and reigned supreme for their entire lives, while others failed and could not survive the imperial tribulation.

There was also the Feathered Emperor who was resurrected and ascended to the highest realm again, but was almost killed by the Ruthless Emperor with a single palm strike.

Ultimately, the Feathered Emperor never left his ancestral planet for the rest of his life.

Finally, in the 720,000th year of the Heavenly Emperor Calendar, Ye Fan, who had already become a Red Dust Immortal, decided to ask another Red Dust Immortal, the Ruthless Great Emperor, for protection. He also asked Cao Ya, who was one step away from becoming a Red Dust Immortal. Then Ye Fan personally took action to protect the many heroes and help them all become emperors.

Such a scene was shocking and terrifying, leaving countless living beings stunned.

The Holy Prince, Ji Zi, Jiang Taixu, Xia Jiuyou, and others, as well as Li Heishui, Li Tian, ​​Longma, and other old acquaintances such as Huo Lin'er, Huo Qizi, Dao Yi, and Shencan Daoren, all appeared. Some became emperors, and some did not, but they all fought and followed Ye Fan into another world!

The Heavenly Army marched in overwhelming force, astonishing the entire universe.

Meanwhile, within that intervening world, a major event was also taking place, with powerful figures from all walks of life emerging, including the Great Emperor Wushi, the Undying Emperor, and another Immortal of the Mortal World, along with their subordinate Emperor-level experts, all fighting their way out.

The Heavenly Army, along with all the Great Emperors, naturally belonged to the same camp as the Great Emperor Wushi and his followers.

While the Great Emperor Wushi fought against the Mortal Immortal, Ye Fan went to battle the Undying Emperor.

The Ruthless Great Emperor intervened to protect the human world, and afterwards, he entered the rift world.

"Your disciple hasn't shown up yet," Cao Ya said with a laugh via telepathy.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, Duan De had gathered all nine Reincarnation Seals and was already a Mortal Immortal. Upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said, "The Emperor has always been patient; he is still waiting for an opportunity."

"They're here!"

Suddenly, Duan De's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, an unparalleled being awakened in the human universe, and Dao patterns appeared in all the heavens, seemingly about to refine the entire universe.

"Disciple, wait!" Duan De intervened, stopping the Emperor.

Although Cao Ya had not yet taken the final step to become a Red Dust Immortal, he was still a powerful five-star advanced level cultivator. With the addition of the Ruthless Great Emperor, even though the Emperor was strong, he quickly died under the combined attack of the three of them.

Meanwhile, the Red Dust Immortal and the Undying Emperor in the Crack World were also killed by the Great Emperor Wushi and Ye Fan.

In the end, they joined forces and opened up the Immortal Realm, allowing their entire sect to ascend to immortality!

However, the Immortal Realm is incomplete and needs to be repaired. Connecting the two great worlds requires an enormous amount of longevity substances.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."

Cao Ya sighed.

Not only does he need to repair the Immortal Realm, but he also needs to find a way to take the final step on his own path to immortality in the mortal world, so that he can truly attain the five-star peak of the mortal world immortal realm, just like the others.

"But it's already a very good ending, isn't it?" Ye Fan said with a smile.

Everyone burst into laughter and began to enter the Immortal Realm in an orderly manner.
