"Cao Ya doesn't rely on heaven or earth, he only relies on himself!"
"Cao Ya doesn't have any cheats!"
Facing the countless gods and buddhas, Cao Ya spoke withou...
"Auf, as expected of the 'First God,' he's truly terrifying," Cao Ya sighed.
So far, of the three supreme artifacts, Ofouf has only used the soul defense type. The material defense and material attack types are either useless or still hidden in Augusta's possession.
Even so, Cao Ya felt intense pressure. Auf's moves often contained both physical and spiritual attacks, seemingly dissecting the innate abilities of many divine beasts. While the power of a single aspect had diminished, Auf could combine various innate abilities to create ultimate moves, which was even more terrifying!
Cao Ya possessed only a material defense artifact bestowed upon him by the God of Zijing, which was as fragile as paper under Aofu's attack. Furthermore, his four divine avatars—thunder, earth, fire, and water—did not possess any defensive artifacts.
As a main artifact of the material attack type, it was forged by Beirut using the essence of divinity, so its quality is quite good. When Cao Ya activated it, its destructive power was astonishing, enough to move Ouf and make him dare not underestimate it.
Of course, this is on the premise that Of didn't use the supreme artifact of material defense; otherwise, he would have ignored it on the spot!
"However, I didn't go all out either," Cao Ya muttered to himself. Without the destructive power of a six-star hero, but to truly endanger Auf's life, he naturally couldn't reveal his trump card.
In short, despite their fierce fight, they were both harboring their own agendas and had more than one trick up their sleeves!
Auf was wary of the Rulers and worried about being ganged up on. He wasn't confident that he could single-handedly defeat the alliance of the Destruction Ruler, the Life Ruler, and the Death Ruler—even if he had defensive supreme artifacts, those three weren't without their own offensive supreme artifacts!
Cao Ya, however, knew Ao Fu's true strength but was not confident of defeating him, so he feigned compliance.
Both of them had their own ideas and were willing to take action to stop the other, but they also had their own concerns and were unwilling to reveal their full strength, hiding many of their trump cards.
Of course, in Auf's view, even so, dealing with Cao Ya would not be difficult for him.
Just as he had several trump cards up his sleeve, yet still dominated the main god group and was hailed as the "strongest".
"Hehe." Auf suddenly chuckled, brandishing his sword-shaped main artifact. A halo of light flowed, like the light and shadow of the sun and moon, carrying a unique attack that shattered all of Cao Ya's divine powers.
Even with some reservations, Auf's power is still terrifying. Any other Overlord who went up against him would be severely injured, if not killed.
However, Cao Ya was no less impressive. The blue hair of the Thunder God clone flew wildly, and the Thunder God's power he borrowed surged, with lightning raging and thunder roaring, shattering the void as it hurtled towards Aufroxiao.
The wind-elemental god clone, the earth-elemental god clone, the water-elemental god clone, and the fire-elemental god clone all unleashed their full power, their profound mysteries surging forth. Various weapons, including knives, swords, halberds, and seals, also exuded strange Daoist charms. After being integrated by Cao Ya, they were incredibly terrifying. Even Ao Fu couldn't help but take it seriously, sensing a threat.
Cao Ya still had some power left unused. He knew very well that even if he unleashed all the power of his extraordinary systems, he would still find it difficult to kill Auf. Instead, he would invite disaster and be targeted by Auf and a group of rulers. That would be the most critical moment, and whether he could escape back to the Yulan Plane was another matter entirely.
Therefore, if Cao Ya cannot kill Auf, he will not reveal his strongest combat power and will hide something to lull Auf into a false sense of security.
“Excellent! Quite excellent! This path…” Auf’s eyes gleamed. He felt that Cao Ya’s path was very strange. Who knows, it might really be the path of the supreme god, capable of breaking through the limits of the main god!
For someone like Of, who sees becoming stronger as his greatest pursuit in life, Cao Ya's path arouses his envy and longs to emulate. However, Of also understands that his understanding is concentrated on the rules of fate, and it is basically impossible for him to achieve perfection in other laws and rules.
His signature moves were created after studying the innate abilities of many mythical beasts and gaining insights from them.
Auf didn't believe he could really achieve the same level of perfection as Cao Ya.
“However, if we capture Cao Ya and analyze and study it, perhaps…” Aof’s eyes brightened, a cold glint flashing across them. What was the big deal about sacrificing Cao Ya for his path to becoming stronger? There have been quite a few deaths and injuries in the research of divine beasts.
At this moment, Of was somewhat regretful that he could not use the supreme artifact of material defense, nor could he take the supreme divine sword of destiny from Augusta's hands. Otherwise, with the three supreme artifacts used together, suppressing Cao Ya would have been a piece of cake!
"Fortunately, Cao Ya has only reached the Great Perfection of the Five Elements, and has not yet reached the Great Perfection of all Seven Elements Laws. A Supreme Artifact is enough to suppress him!"
Auf pondered, disregarding soul defense, and at the same time, a strange golden light shone on the avatar of the God of Destiny, which brought his physical defense to an extreme, ignoring Cao Ya's attacks and focusing on advancing outwards, causing Cao Ya a lot of trouble.
"That is the strongest material defense technique created by Auf—the Reincarnation Golden Body!" The Lord of Destruction sighed. Even if he were to make a move, carrying a supreme artifact of destruction that deals material attacks, Auf would still have the courage to withstand it with just his bare hands!
Even if he is injured, he will never be defeated or killed. This is the confidence that the "Golden Body of Reincarnation" gives Ouf.
Auf's defense was a major headache for all three major rules, making it difficult to break through.
Unless they join forces and force Auf to be distracted, there is no chance of killing this "First God".
Without any prior grudges, how could they possibly form an alliance to deal with Of? If they failed to kill him and Of escaped, focused on revenge, they would be no match for Of in a one-on-one fight.
In terms of speed, because Off studied many special mythical beasts and created corresponding unique techniques, he was superior to the three rulers of the rules.
Both the Lord of Death and the Lord of Life sighed with emotion. Auf's attitude of having no pleasure and focusing solely on becoming stronger for countless years was unmatched by anyone else!
"Cao Ya, being able to withstand a hundred or eighty moves from Auf is already quite impressive, surpassing even the Law Rulers." The Destruction Ruler whispered, gazing at the battlefield, anticipating Cao Ya's response.
The rulers of the laws were already used to their own position, and upon hearing this, they remained calm and unperturbed, showing no annoyance whatsoever.
The main problem is that they don't have the courage to refute what the Lord of Destruction says. This Lord of the Rules of Destruction has a rather bad temper, and offending him would lead to a terrible end!
Beirut and Qinghuo were quite worried, but their strength was simply not enough to intervene in a battle at the Dominator level. Not to mention the duel between Cao Ya and Auf, they could only watch Linley and Augusta's confrontation from the sidelines.
They discussed in their minds whether to use the essence blood of the four divine beasts to ask the Lord of Destruction to help the Magnolia camp and quell the war. In any case, Cao Ya and Lin Lei's power had already been demonstrated and was enough to deter all forces!
At that very moment, billions of miles away, Cao Ya stood in the vast emptiness. All the dreamlike spatial turbulence was torn apart and vanished into thin air, making it impossible for anyone to approach within a range of billions of miles!
Cao Ya's four divine avatars—water, fire, lightning, and wind—attacked in turn, covering each other as they fiercely clashed with the Lord of Fate. Their divine power surged, neutralizing Auf's various material and soul attacks and protecting the divine avatars.
Meanwhile, the yellow-haired Earth God avatar held a large seal, with the six profound mysteries of the Earth Law system wrapped around it, and the concepts of reincarnation and Taiyin permeated it, aiming to knock down Auf and injure him.
Unfortunately, protected by the supreme artifact of soul defense, Auf was able to ignore all kinds of soul attacks. He also possessed the strongest material defense technique in this world—the Reincarnation Golden Body—which made him fearless.
Boom!
"!" Auf charged around recklessly, and any divine power he possessed was shattered with a single palm strike or pierced through with a single sword strike, posing no real threat to him.
However, the flow of the five divine powers, the alternation of various profound laws, and the intermingling of sword intent, saber intent, and reincarnation intent all hindered Auf, causing him to frown and clearly feel that he was in a difficult situation.
"Without a six-star divine weapon, it's really difficult to hurt Auf!" Cao Ya sighed inwardly.
He could only use divine power, profound mysteries, and the will of the Dao to entangle Auf, without any thought of winning.
"It's a pity that Cao Ya lacks a suitable weapon." The Lord of Destruction lamented. If Cao Ya had a supreme artifact with the right attributes, he could have truly made Auf tremble and risk his demise.
Unfortunately, in the universe, there are only four supreme gods, corresponding to four major rules, but no supreme gods of the seven systems of laws.
“He is already powerful enough. Even without the supreme artifact, we can hardly say we can defeat Cao Ya,” said the Death Sovereign. After comparing the two, she believed that without using the supreme artifact of death, she was probably only on par with Cao Ya.
"We've finally gained another expert at the Rule Dominator level, not just the four of us anymore," the Life Dominator said with a gentle smile. She then glanced at Linley and added, "We'll also gain another expert at the Law Dominator level."
"Impressive!" While the three Rulers were talking, the group of Gods were trembling with awe at Cao Ya's power and even more impressed by the effortless handling of the Ruler of Fate.
"Boom..." The void shattered, and the power of the God of Destiny surged, but it was neutralized by the profound mystery of the five divine powers. Even Auf was mesmerized by those peculiar Daoist charms and felt that he was inferior to them.
After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, Auf stopped pressing forward. Holding the sword-shaped main artifact, he stood deep in the void, gazing at Cao Ya, who was hundreds of millions of miles away, his vast divine sense sweeping across the area.
“Cao Ya, I have to admit, in terms of profound mystery alone, I am inferior to you,” Auf said.
The Five Elements Great Perfection is definitely far superior to the Single Element Destiny Great Perfection in terms of profound mysteries.
“If we continue fighting, you can’t hurt me, and I can’t hit you. It’s just a waste of effort and the power of the main god. We might as well stop here,” said Of, suggesting that we shake hands and make peace.
Cao Ya figured he really couldn't hurt Auf, and a protracted battle would be pointless.
So he agreed to Auf's suggestion, and the two pushed each other away, ceasing their fight.
All the main gods looked at Cao Ya, their expressions a mixture of shock and awe.
The fact that the Lord of Fate could take the initiative to shake hands and make peace is enough to demonstrate Cao Ya's strength, which is unparalleled among the main gods!
Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Linley and Augusta were also separated, neither able to gain the upper hand. Linley failed to defeat Augusta because he had not yet opened up a divine plane, and his understanding of the profound mysteries was much weaker than when he fought Augusta in the original book, naturally resulting in a decline in his combat power.
"I hope that in the future, I can clash with you again." Auf smiled, flicked his sleeve, and the sword-shaped main artifact disappeared. He left the spatial turbulence outside the wind-elemental divine plane and flew towards the location of the Destiny God Realm.
"Lord Auf!" Theresa and Bötter's eyes twitched, and they quickly followed.
They were terrified. Without the protection of the master of fate, neither Cao Ya nor Lin Lei could easily kill them.
A group of the main gods of destiny followed. Before leaving, they looked at the four main gods who had joined forces in the Yulan camp and sighed. From now on, the Yulan lineage will become a significant force among the main gods. Beirut and Qinghuo will also be able to travel freely among the worlds and will no longer be limited to the Yulan plane.
"Let's go, let's go. Seeing a battle at the Dominator level today has made the trip worthwhile."
As the main gods departed one after another, their attitudes toward the Magnolia faction quietly changed.
Augusta's face darkened. He put away the Supreme Artifact of Destiny and quickly flew away.
Since Auf hadn't gone far and the other rulers were watching, it was impossible for Cao Ya and Lin Lei to immediately join forces to attack and kill the Light Ruler.
"You'd better pay attention to the final interdimensional war," the Lord of Destruction suddenly laughed.
The Lord of Death's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Has your research yielded any results?"
The Lord of Life also looked over, his beautiful eyes flashing. Back then, the Lord of Destruction had agreed to protect Beirut and force back the Lord of Light, but he had asked for a reward: the essence blood of the four divine beasts, hoping to study the mystery of the strongest fused innate divine power.
"We've made progress, and the results will be out soon. When that happens, I will challenge Auf!" the Lord of Destruction said, his fighting spirit blazing.
Immediately afterwards, he and a group of chief gods under his command also flew to hell.
Before leaving, the main gods of the Bauhinia and Blood Peak invited the four main gods of the Magnolia faction to visit their territories when they went to Hell in the future.
"Now I can really look forward to it," the Lord of Death muttered, before departing with the Lord of Life and many other gods.
Finally, Cao Ya and the other three returned to the Wind God Plane and, through the teleportation array, returned to the Magnolia Plane.
"Haha!" Beirut, who had been suppressing his joy, finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
The Magnolia faction essentially has a Ruler of Rules and a Ruler of Laws. They will be fearless, let alone a Ruler of Light, even if any Ruler of Rules attacks them.
More than ten thousand years of pent-up frustration have vanished today!
Qinghuo asked with a smile, "Linley, when are you going to create a divine plane?"
Lin Lei pondered. His profound fusion still had a long way to go, but using the power of the will contained within the main godhead to unleash great supernatural abilities and create the world would greatly help improve his strength!
"Take a few days off and get yourself in shape," Lin Lei said.
“Then I’ll have to watch from the sidelines,” Cao Ya said with a smile. A few days later, four main gods stood in the spatial turbulence outside the Magnolia Plane.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, Linley split in two, his water-type main god avatar and earth-type main god avatar appeared, standing on two sides. After meditating with his eyes closed for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, his will and power surged, and the power of the main god swept over him, beginning his journey to create a god plane!
