"call!"

Cao Ya separated a wisp of consciousness to manipulate the deathly intent of heaven and earth, covering the sky.

"Splash splash~~"

Like flowing water, deathly energy swept through, ending the rules of the heavens, extinguishing the patterns of the Great Dao, and causing billions of runes to collapse. After a brief moment of brightness, they fell into eternal silence, never to be revived.

The attacks of Gong Tianzun and Madam Yuanmu were immediately blocked, and they were surrounded by death energy. Their magic power was surging, but they could only move one step at a time and slowly approach Cao Ya's main body. They could no longer move hundreds of millions of miles or even destroy an entire realm as they used to!

The two women's expressions turned serious.

"Is the simple art of death already beyond the level of an ordinary Celestial Venerable?"

"Cao Tianzun, just how strong is he? How did he cultivate to such a level in such a short time?!"

The two women found it hard to believe.

This speed of improvement is simply unbelievable!

At the same time, after revealing the existence of the Dao Fruit, the Divine Emperor Langxuan no longer concealed it. The halo behind his head shone brightly, and countless auspicious wisps of energy rose up in Xuandu.

The Primordial Dao governed all the heavenly palaces and treasure halls of the Langxuan Divine Emperor, making it his master.

In that magnificent and imposing Heavenly Court, a Dao Fruit lay withered and shriveled, without any luster, wrinkled and crumpled, like a fruit that had fallen from a branch in the mortal world and had already withered.

But that is the Dao Fruit, the Great Dao Law, something that only comes into being after one has cultivated to the peak. It is incredibly magical and can help one survive cosmic calamities.

Even if it falls from the tree, it will remain forever.

That is the foundation of prehistoric enlightened beings!

After obtaining it, the Divine Emperor Langxuan studied it extensively, and his Dao Realm improved rapidly. However, he was also affected by it, and his mind began to change.

Prehistoric enlightened beings, in order to escape the cataclysmic destruction of the past universe, sneaked into the present world, resorting to all sorts of extreme measures.

Their intentions are extremely malicious; basically, none of them are good.

If there were truly good ones, they wouldn't actively enter the universe of later generations to harm them.

【The Legend of the Shepherd】The universe, every great cosmic era, has four stages: formation, existence, decay, and emptiness. Birth, development, peak, decline, decay, and finally, complete extinction.

This is the normal process; birth and death are always in a cycle.

Now, we are in the seventeenth cosmic age, known as the seventeenth epoch.

But how could those prehistoric masters and enlightened beings be willing to be swallowed up by the great cosmic calamity, their lifelong arduous cultivation turning into dust?

They all dream of smuggling themselves into the newest era through various unique means, to live freely and roam the world in a brand-new universe free from the threat of destruction.

Due to the conservation of mass and energy, for a being of such immense power as an enlightened being to leave the prehistoric universe and go to what they perceive as the future era, it must replace itself with an energy of the same level as that of the future era and enter the prehistoric era in which the enlightened being resides.

In this way, the two cosmic eras can maintain a balance and allow smuggling.

Once the replacement is complete, the prehistoric enlightened beings can descend into the future and escape the Great Destruction.

However, if we do this, the energy of future generations will be lost. Instead, the prehistoric enlightened beings will not release their own power to give back to heaven and earth. Instead, they will only keep taking and seeking complete personal transcendence.

As more and more energy is lost in the universe, the period of formation and existence will be shortened infinitely, and we may not even reach our peak. Soon, all the heavens will enter the period of decay and emptiness, with the aura of the end times flowing and filling the universe. At that time, the universe will be destroyed, and countless lives will perish.

In other words, billions of lives in the new era will be harmed by prehistoric powers!

Such behavior is cruel.

Because the present is the latest cosmic era, namely the seventeenth era, the vast majority of the Dao achievers of the previous sixteen eras were racking their brains to think of ways to sneak across and to entice powerful beings from all realms to perform blood sacrifices. The vast unclaimed energy was intentionally drawn by the prehistoric Dao achievers and transferred to the past, so they could take the opportunity to come to this seventeenth era.

The ancestral temple is a place for blood sacrifices.

The so-called Miro Palace was also a great power in prehistoric times, where many enlightened beings gathered.

The Dao Fruits within the Heavenly Court of the Divine Emperor Langxuan were painstakingly delivered by prehistoric Daoists to the Seventeenth Era. Their power was greatly diminished and they were no longer at their peak. It was necessary to scheme, entice others, and obtain the energy of heaven and earth to restore them bit by bit. A large-scale blood sacrifice was also carried out to exchange energy so that their original forms could also come to the present world.

Of course, because of the nature of those who have attained enlightenment, they have already transcended the ordinary and entered sainthood. In addition, due to the uniqueness of their Dao fruit, even if they suffer damage, they are still very miraculous and possess many great powers.

Therefore, that Dao Fruit was able to help the Divine Emperor Langxuan improve his understanding of the Great Dao, and was regarded by this Heavenly Respect as the most precious treasure, which he cherished very much.

If the situation hadn't become truly dangerous, Emperor Langxuan would never have revealed the existence of this Dao Fruit.

He felt that there must be many celestial beings who would be greedy, secretly plotting to kill people and rob them of their treasures.

Given the current situation, this site may be shut down at any time. Please switch to the permanently operating source-switching app, huanyuanapp, as soon as possible.

In fact, such cases do exist.

"That is... Dao Fruit?" Madam Yuanmu and Consort Qiangtian's eyes both revealed a hint of fervor.

Only Gong Tianzun, while surprised, felt a glimmer of hope for victory but did not harbor any greedy thoughts.

Regardless of their relationship, Langxuan Divine Emperor was still her child, even though his father was the ancient god Emperor Taichu, whom Gong Tianzun did not particularly like.

Even the Heavenly Venerable of the Palace would not covet his son's treasures.

Besides, Cao Ya, upon seeing the Dao Fruit, narrowed his eyes, showing no greed but rather a murderous intent.

Having been familiar with the schemes of prehistoric enlightened beings, he loathed such things.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The dried-up Earth Fruit spun, drawing the Heavenly Court in, its Primordial Dao shining brightly, domineering and fierce, ravaging Xuandu, heading straight for Cao Ya!

"Die, Cao Ya!" Langxuan God Emperor roared, as if he could see Cao Ya dying with hatred in his eyes.

"Kill you, and use Cao Tianzun's bones to pave my path to heaven. At that time, it will be only natural for me to ascend the throne and become the Heavenly Emperor, ruling the universe."

As the Divine Emperor Langxuan pondered, sensing the boundless knowledge within the Dao Fruit, his power surged once more, reaching an unfathomable level, akin to that of an enlightened being.

Although he has not yet attained enlightenment, he already possesses that kind of understanding.

Because his Primordial Divine Power was already an extremely powerful ultimate move, and with the blessing of the Dao Fruit, the incomplete Heavenly Court was fully unleashed. With all these factors combined, the destructive power of the Langxuan Divine Emperor at this moment was no less than that of an ordinary Great Heavenly Court.

Cao Yadu had to be serious and dared not be careless.

Moreover, the Heavenly Venerables that Cao Ya's true form directly faces include not only the Langxuan Divine Emperor, but also the Qiang Tianfei.

This Celestial Venerable has many Heavenly Palaces in the Celestial Palace Divine Realm system, but not many Treasure Halls. His magical power is indeed profound, but compared to other Celestial Venerables, he is still slightly inferior. He can only make up for it by relying on his vast divine consciousness.

However, what threatened Cao Ya was not Qiang Tianfei's Heavenly Palace or her divine sense, but those two divine swords, treasures of slaughter!

"boom!"

The Blood Fiend Divine Blade slashed down, as if the sky and earth had collapsed. The sky cracked, the Xuandu Palace was shattered, and the entire world seemed to have collapsed.

Such power is extremely terrifying, capable of causing even the Heavenly Venerable to encounter danger.

However, Consort Qiangtian's expression seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"It's a bit short. The blood sacrifice wasn't completed. Otherwise, the divine blade would have surpassed all other magical treasures and heavy weapons in the universe, and could be called the number one killing treasure since the beginning of this era!" Qiang Tianfei muttered, quite regretfully.

"Well, with the help of Divine Emperor Langxuan, the two of us working together to besiege Cao Tianzun's true form should be enough."

"With Gong Yun, Lady Yuan Mu, and the six divine artifacts, Yu Tianzun, already drawing away much of Cao Ya Tianzun's power, if under these circumstances, Lang Xuan Divine Emperor and I are still defeated..."

Consort Qiang took a deep breath.

"No! We must not lose!"

"Cao Ya, no matter how talented you are, you will not escape death today!" Qiang Tianfei coldly shouted. As the divine sword fell, her divine sense illusion enveloped Cao Ya, and she waved her hands, her white jade-like fists striking out, distorting and shattering the void.

The surrounding area, spanning millions of miles, sank further. Some gods and demons, lost in the fierce battle, strayed into this place and were reduced to dust in a single breath.

"Hiss~~"

Instantly, the countless gods on the periphery were terrified and, without prior agreement, flew away into the distance, still clashing along the way!

Cao Ya's true form directly faced the great divine power of the Langxuan Divine Emperor, as well as the ultimate move of the Qiang Tianfei, along with the divine sense illusion, fist energy, and divine blade. With so many killing moves coming at the same time, even a Heavenly Venerable would be terrified and immediately flee far away, not daring to linger, and would have no choice but to admit defeat.

But Cao Ya knew that he absolutely could not lose!

"Sizzle!!"

Cao Ya's actions speak for themselves; at times like this, only blood can express everything.

Countless phantoms extended longswords, displaying a wide array of unique skills. Countless sword lights pierced through the clouds and pierced straight into the outer star sea!

The Kunpeng roared and manifested once more, rushing towards the Primordial Heavenly Court dominated by the Dao Fruit of the Divine Emperor Langxuan.

The artistic conception of "a smile while picking a flower" dispels all illusions of the mind.

Six small black holes flew out, entangled with the two divine blades, and had a huge suction force, making it difficult to break free in a short time.

The Five Elements Immortal Light, along with golden Buddhist light, a dazzling celestial river, and mysterious formations, unleashed a torrent of power, rushing straight towards Consort Qiangtian. The Heavenly Palace trembled, the treasure hall shook, and it was almost shattered.

"Ah!!!" Qiang Tianfei screamed as her divine consciousness illusion was shattered. A special Buddhist intent poured into her mind, and she felt like she was going crazy. She wanted to put down her butcher's knife, kneel on the ground, and repent bitterly before slitting her own throat and committing suicide.

"Evil magic!" Qiang Tianfei roared, feeling fear, and tried her best to resist while maintaining her inner strength.

Fortunately, she was the Supreme Emperor, and her true form was an enlightened being at the Thirty-Nine Heavens. Even with the help of external forces, she was still quite remarkable.

However, during this time, various magical powers, the golden Buddhist light echoing with Zen chants, the self-contained Five Elements Immortal Light, the vast Heavenly River, and countless arrays covered her head, constantly eroding and eroding Qiang Tianfei's Heavenly Palace, which was teetering on the verge of collapse.

By then, the foundation of his Heavenly Palace Divine Realm system will be completely destroyed, and he will no longer possess the power of a Heavenly Venerable.

Consort Qiangtian was terrified and did everything in her power to resist, trying to avert her doom.

However, the divine blade was entangled and could not return, its divine sense and magic were completely suppressed, and the Heavenly Palace's magic power was sealed by even more Dao principles, making the situation terrible and extremely dangerous.

"Emperor Langxuan, Lady Yuanmu, Venerable Gong, save me!" Consort Qiangtian cried out, her voice filled with unease.

The three celestial beings were also very anxious.

Regardless, the eleven Heavenly Venerables are one entity. Even if they fight amongst themselves, there are limitations and self-restraint, so it will not affect the prestige of the Heavenly Court.

The winner won't take everything; they only require the losers to submit.

Only with helpers can one suppress rebels; otherwise, the resistance from all realms will be useless.

Besides, with Consort Qiang gone, Cao Ya's extra strength can be used to deal with them...

Even the Heavenly Consort Qiang, who was also a Celestial Venerable, couldn't stop them. They figured their chances were slim too!

However, even with the Kunpeng blocking his way and countless sword lights shooting out, Langxuan Divine Emperor, aided by his Dao Fruit, was unable to break through the blockade.

Needless to say, the Heavenly Venerable of the Palace and Lady Yuanmu are also under the influence of deathly aura. They must be extremely careful, for if they are not careful and get even a trace of it, their situation may be worse than that of Consort Qiangtian.

And their respective divine artifacts, the Celestial Venerable...

The one that Langxuan Divine Emperor was already at a disadvantage, struggling against light, darkness, wind, and fire, so where would he get any extra power?

The two battles between Consort Qiang and Celestial Venerable Gong only managed to level the sky with the lightning.

Similarly, Madam Yuanmu's three divine artifacts, the Heavenly Venerable, could barely keep up with the gleaming blade light.

Even the most powerful being, though extremely unwilling, had no strength left to support Consort Qiangtian.

"I'm going to...die..."

Qiang Tianfei let out a fierce roar. As the overlord of the universe, how could she die?

Even if the Emperor were to recreate his soul, Consort Qiang would never give up.

"when!!!"

Unfortunately, Cao Ya's various magical powers were too ferocious, and when combined, they were extremely terrifying, making people tremble with fear!

The vast Xuandu trembled, seemingly unable to bear Cao Ya's presence, and was about to be crushed by those laws!

It wasn't until the Heavenly Dao reappeared that it was stopped.

That's why Cao Ya lost her blessing.

Qin Mu and his group were only eliminated because they attacked the Heavenly God.

Meanwhile, the other members of their own camp, including Village Chief Su Muzhe, Si Youyou, and Yan Yunxi, all had a trace of the rhythm of the Heavenly Dao lingering around them. The power of their ultimate moves increased by 20-30%, and their speed also improved, far beyond what they could do on ordinary days.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to interfere with the various heavenly armies under the command of the Emperor.

After all, the latter is still being restrained by the will of Heaven.

With one side gaining and the other losing, the overall situation, though still difficult, has finally shown a glimmer of hope.

However, the various gods and demons, gazing at the battlefield of the Heavenly Venerable, had vastly different expressions; some were delighted, while others were filled with fear and unease.

The imperial guards of Heaven were filled with worry.

"If the Celestial Venerables are defeated, even if we lead a large army, we will not be able to withstand Celestial Venerable Cao!"

"What should we do? Should we retreat, leave Xuandu, and return to the Heavenly Court?"

"Do you want to die? If the Celestial Venerables win and are held accountable afterwards, we'll definitely be beheaded!"

...

This group of experts at the Emperor level were caught in a dilemma.

We can only be vigilant and keep a close eye on the battle between the Heavenly Venerables, and respond according to the development of the situation. If we are not careful, we must run away immediately!

"Boom!!"

After another fierce collision, the Milky Way severed the Heavenly Court of Consort Qiang, the array sealed the Heavenly Palace, the Buddhist light trapped the Treasure Hall, and the Five Elements Immortal Light shuttled around, gradually being extinguished.

Consort Qiang was shocked and furious, but no matter how she activated her magic, she could not restrain Cao Ya.

Suddenly, Cao Ya frowned and looked into the distance.

"Whoosh!!"

Two figures leaped out from the void, one radiant with sunlight, the other shrouded in yin energy. They were none other than the Ancient God of the Sun and the Goddess of the Moon, a pair of ancient gods born within the Taiji Mine, nurtured by the Great Dao of Taiji!

"Fellow Daoist Cao Ya, we've come to make peace. If you act as a referee, you'll let Qiang Tianfei go, how about it?"
