"Among these twenty-odd people, there are many traitors, but also quite a few undercover agents." Cao Ya's eyes flickered slightly.

Cao Ya believed that the master of the Soul Light Cave, another Soul Light creature, the black shadow, the mysterious cultivator whose dark aura covered him, and his rotting face were all spies of the strange race, hiding in the mortal world.

These few experts at the Universe Realm used strange methods, their supernatural powers were unpredictable, and their power was terrifying. A cold and dark aura spread from them, which was extremely frightening. Even Cao Ya did not dare to provoke them, as it was easy to fall into corruption!

His approach was also very simple and brutal: the meaning of reincarnation and the death energy of heaven and earth flowed throughout the universe, providing double protection and overturning everything!

On one of Cao Ya's hands, the shape of the Reincarnation Seal was condensed. This was a peerless divine weapon of the other shore with a seven-star rating in the [Peerless One] universe. It was exceptionally powerful. He had been studying it day and night in that universe and had a very deep understanding of it.

"Fancy and flashy, do you think any random artifact can stand against our forbidden magical artifacts?" the soul-light creature sneered, its soul fluctuating violently, and silver-white flames rose from its forehead, illuminating billions of miles!

Faintly, a mysterious figure emerged from the silvery flames, its form twisted, its eyes cold and filled with endless darkness, seemingly yearning to devour the heavens and the universe!

Such methods are clearly not normal supernatural abilities in the mortal world, and the origin of this person is self-evident.

However, the experts around him completely ignored his various suspicious points and pretended not to see them.

"kill!

"Like the Four Tribulations Sparrow, it directly ignored the secrets of the soul-light creatures, merged with the remnant soul of its ancestors, had four divine rings swirling around its body, and the power of the great calamity rippled, unleashing the Four Heaven-Opening Swords, which were infinitely radiant, causing the void to collapse and the Great Dao to crack, seemingly about to fall into an eternal end!"

"You all really deserve to die!" Cao Ya sneered. Whether they were spies or traitors, they all had to be eliminated. Otherwise, with so many hidden dangers in the mortal realm, how would they deal with the Soul River's attack in the future?!

He raised his palm, and the phantom of the Samsara Seal swayed. Ancient Daoist charm permeated the air, and no matter what Yu Jiu tried to stop it, he immediately coughed up blood and staggered back. He was soaked in the meaning of Samsara, and his expression became dazed, as if his soul had begun to lose its way.

"Wake up!" the dark figure shouted, trying to awaken the Four Tribulation Sparrow and the Soul Light Creature to prevent Cao Ya from defeating them. Although he was confident in his strength, Cao Ya's performance so far had demonstrated his terrifying power, which was beyond the description of the Universe Realm and could only be described by the King Realm!

If our side suffers casualties, Cao Ya will likely be even more unscrupulous, picking them off one by one and slaughtering everyone in sight!

"Cough cough..." Just then, the Four Tribulations Sparrow and the Soul Light Creature were finally awakened by the black shadow, but they coughed up blood, their bodies cracked, and their souls dimmed, as if they were about to die.

"hiss!

"!" Immediately, all the major repairmen gasped in shock.

What a powerful Cao Ya! What a strange seal! It has such amazing abilities. In just one move, it almost destroyed two Yuji Realm experts!

"What kind of divine artifact is that?" The soul-light creature was terrified, all its previous contempt gone. Only after experiencing it firsthand did it realize how terrifying that great seal was.

"The universe is in a cycle, heaven and earth are in a cycle, time and space are in a cycle..." The Four Tribulations Sparrow's face was gloomy. The artistic conception of this move was far higher than that of the Four Heavenly Swords of his clan!

"It's just a phantom of a divine artifact, not the real thing. What's there to be afraid of? Shatter it directly, along with Cao Ya, and reduce him to dust! Let him die a violent death!"

The dark figure roared, its boundless soul light not a dazzling silver-white, but pitch black, filled with an eternal, chilling aura, as if it came from the underworld, or perhaps from the River of Souls.

"Whoosh!" At the same time, he threw out a peculiar item, strangely shaped, which turned out to be a rotten finger!

"Eroding the universe, corrupting all spirits!" the dark figure murmured, chanting incantations as it summoned its finger, imbued with a deep aura of darkness, to resist the raging lightning and attempt to invade Cao Ya's consciousness, driving him mad.

“An ominous object!” Cao Ya’s eyes narrowed. Sure enough, these spies from the Soul River must possess forbidden magical artifacts that could severely injure Yu Jiu at crucial moments, or even affect ordinary Immortal Kings!

He knew very well that the Soul River was a key location for the strange races, with many Immortal Kings presiding over it and Quasi-Supreme beings in charge. In its deepest part, there was even a true Quasi-Immortal Emperor of all the heavens hiding!

In such an unfathomable place, it's perfectly normal to find some incredible artifacts.

Sending Yu Jiu into the mortal realm to lie low, relay messages and intelligence, and wait for an opportunity to act—it would be unrealistic for the ruler of the Soul River not to bestow upon him some powerful magical artifacts for self-defense and to kill enemies.

"It's still not enough. Cao Ya is very strong. This level of skill is not enough to corrupt him."

The mysterious cultivator in the black mist spoke coldly, made hand seals, and then took a mysterious step to guide the ghostly mist to descend. What followed was half a rotting hand, which smelled disgusting and made people want to vomit, but it was indeed very fierce and full of murderous aura!

"ah!

Suddenly, the half-rotten face roared loudly, its divine voice deafening, causing the void to ripple and all directions to surge, as if it were about to shatter.

"Cao Ya, die!" the master of the Soul Light Cave said coldly, his soul power shining brightly, forbidden secret techniques were activated, and strange objects floated in the soul light, affecting the heavens and earth and posing a threat to Cao Ya.

"Another ominous item!" Cao Ya's expression hardened slightly. The desperate methods of the Soul River spy were indeed extraordinary. If it were another Yu Jiu Realm cultivator, they might have a chance to hold off one of them alone, but if it were one against five, they would basically be doomed.

Cao Ya is indeed extremely powerful and confident in suppressing these five people. However, the problem is that the other nearly twenty powerful cultivators will not stand idly by!

The Four Tribulations Sparrow and others made their moves one after another, their sword energy sharp, their blades gleaming, their radiant glow dazzling, covering the outer star sea, disrupting the universe, and tearing apart the heavens!

"Hmm, that's enough. With over twenty powerful cultivators going all out, let's simultaneously blast Cao Ya to death. No matter how strong he is, he's doomed!" Someone spoke calmly, revealing an undisguised arrogance that suggested they controlled everything.

This is a master from a forbidden area in the mortal realm, who has existed for hundreds of millions of years. He comes from prehistoric times and has long been at the realm of ultimate understanding. He is proficient in the divine skills of this forbidden area, and now that he is activating them, they have the power to destroy the world!

Boom!

"!" The universe roared, and a reflection of the starry sky appeared. Countless starlight fell, trying to suppress Cao Ya, making him bear the weight of the entire starry sea and crush him!

It is obvious that this is the ultimate move of the Xingyutian master. He is going all out to cooperate with the heroes to wipe out Cao Ya, and then level the First Mountain. He will use this as a pledge of loyalty so that Xingyutian can be valued when it enters the Soul River and continue to maintain its high position as a major force.

"Cao Ya, in a one-on-one fight, none of us are as good as you, but if we join forces, we are confident that we can surround and kill you! You will pay the price for your pride!" Xing Yutian's expert said coldly.

Cao Ya raised one of his heads and looked up at the starry sky. He had to admit that the forbidden zones, famous mountains, and powerful clans in the mortal realm all possessed super divine skills that had been passed down for thousands of years. When used by the Great Universe, Ultimate, and even the Ultimate Universe realm, their power was boundless, capable of piercing through the earth of the mortal realm and collapsing the boundless space!

"I have a sword that can slay ten thousand immortals! I can borrow an era from the heavens!" The Four Tribulations Sparrow roared. He refused to believe that the Four Heavenly Swords, passed down through generations of his clan, were not as powerful as the swordsmanship of Cao Ya, a mere rogue cultivator.

No matter how vast the mortal realm is, or how many divine skills it possesses, where can one find a sword technique comparable to the Four Swords of Creation?!

Moreover, he had cultivated across many eras, while Cao Ya's four hundred thousand years were merely a fraction of that. Despite such a long period of time, and the blessing of his ancestral remnant soul, if he were still inferior to Cao Ya in the art of swordsmanship...

"Absolutely impossible! There are indeed top-tier sword techniques in the mortal realm, but the Four Swords of Creation are absolutely in the top tier! They are no less than any sword manual!"

The Four Tribulations Sparrow unleashed all its magical power, triggering countless tribulations and a hundred lifetimes of hardship. The void resonated with it, and the chaotic mist boiled as it launched its strongest attack, slashing forward!

“It is indeed a superior sword technique.” Cao Ya nodded slightly with his other head.

The Four Tribulations Sparrow Clan ranks eleventh among the forbidden zones of the mortal realm. Although not in the top ten, they are already quite powerful. Their Four Heavenly Swords are ambitious and are world-shaking techniques. Even Immortal Kings would study them carefully and attach great importance to them.

However, what Cao Ya activated were various systems of sword techniques, such as the "Grass Character Sword Technique" of the Immortal Ancient Method, which was no weaker than the Four Swords of Creation. The third of the Seven Swords of Intercepting Heaven was far superior to the Four Swords of Creation!

In the past, Cao Ya would have kept his distance from swordsmanship competitions, as he had no real skill in it. But now, he was confident that he could defeat any Yuji Realm expert in the mortal realm simply by relying on his swordsmanship!

"I'll send you a death knell, and plunge you into eternal annihilation!" the Great Cultivator of Chaos Abyss declared loudly. Another large bell appeared, engraved with ancient rules and symbols, exuding an ominous aura.

Immediately, the starry sky trembled, and the death knell struck out horizontally, destroying the laws of the Great Dao, devouring everything, taking away the life essence of true immortals, and causing even immortals to fall into death. Chaos and chaos lingered around heaven and earth!

"Death Bell is powerful, but I've seen an Emperor Bell that's many times more powerful than you!" Cao Ya observed the Death Bell and shook his head inwardly. It was still inferior to the Beginningless Bell of the [Covering the Sky] universe.

"If the Beginningless Bell were used in the [Sacred Ruins] timeline, the difference would be immeasurable!"

Cao Ya thought to himself, in the timeline of [Covering the Sky], by the time it ended, the Great Emperor Wushi had entered the Immortal Realm and was only a Red Dust Immortal, which is the limit of the most peak True Immortal and the Ultimate Realm. Correspondingly, that Wushi Bell was still at the Immortal Artifact level.

But after many eras, in the era of the Sacred Ruins, Emperor Wushi was already at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If it weren't for his rearguard action and the encirclement and killing by many strange Immortal Emperors, which led to his annihilation, Emperor Wushi should have been an Immortal Emperor at the end of his path, based on his foundation!

Even if something unexpected happens, that Boundless Bell is at least an imperial artifact of the highest level in the heavens, and may even be infinitely close to the level of an immortal imperial artifact!

Let alone the death knell before us, which is merely a magical artifact of the Chaos Abyss Great Cultivator, even the immortal bell of the Chaos Abyss Ancestor would certainly be inferior to the Beginningless Bell.

"Boom..."

Besides these experts, the great cultivators of the Silent Ridge also played the Chaos Tribulation Song of All Spirits several times, attempting to diminish Cao Ya's destiny and make him despised by heaven and earth.

"Whoosh!"

"And there was that great cultivator standing on the golden feathers, whose supernatural powers were extremely strong. The golden feathers under his feet transformed into immortal light and then shot out, seemingly a magical artifact that he had refined!"

Bang! Bang!

"The patriarch of the Mo family in the strange wilderness, the great cultivator of the Yuan clan, and others each unleashed their super divine skills, shocking the mortal realm. The symbols of rules intertwined, the ultimate power of the universe surged, suppressing Cao Ya's energy and destroying the vast star river!"

These twenty-odd great cultivators may have had past grudges, but at present, they are united in their stance—to kill Cao Ya and flatten the number one mountain!

As experts in the realm of immortality, their cooperation, even though it was their first time, was extremely exquisite. It drew Cao Ya's attention, ensuring that each of them could unleash their strongest techniques and activate their peak state, making them invincible!

Such a fierce attack would surely be unbearable for any cultivator in the mortal realm at the Ultimate Realm, causing their body to explode and their soul to dissipate.

But Cao Ya is different. He is already at the Universe Realm, and his overall combat strength is at the initial stage of the sixth star, which is the level of an ordinary Immortal King!

The difference between a Celestial King and a True Immortal is enormous. Those who can defy this difference have all reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Realm!

None of the enemies he faced were such monstrous beings.

If such a monstrous and abnormal being truly existed, the Soul River would not be willing to send it out to infiltrate the mortal realm. Moreover, those who were born into this world would be even less likely to become traitors and join the supernatural.

However, Cao Ya's confidence was unknown to others, but Number Nine and others were very worried, as he was already trying to wake up Number One, Number Two, and others.

However, Cao Ya's response was very simple and clear, yet it shocked the world!

"Boom!" On Cao Ya's body, the profound laws of earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, darkness, etc., swirled around him, and the true meaning of laws from different systems merged together, becoming even more profound. Meanwhile, sword intent, saber intent, and Buddhist light surged out one after another, sweeping across the universe and flattening the starry sky!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the first to succumb to the most intense collision was not Cao Ya, but the more than twenty great cultivators!

"Cough cough!"

"!" The enemies coughed up blood continuously, their magical artifacts shattered, their bodies were riddled with cracks, and their souls were weak. At this moment, they were retreating at top speed, trying to avoid Cao Ya and return to the Yang Realm Mountain Gate to rely on the terrain advantage to resist Cao Ya!

They had given up all hope; even if they formed an alliance, they were no match for Cao Ya!

"This is terrifying! He is definitely not Yu Jiu, he must have broken through to become a King!" The powerful figures murmured, their expressions filled with fear and dread.

At this moment, all the powerful figures were cracked all over. No matter what divine skills or secret techniques they possessed, they were all extremely fragile in Cao Ya's killing spree. They were all defeated and their lives were in danger. The situation was extremely critical!

"You can't escape!"

Cao Ya unleashed flames and lightning, his sword light piercing through the heavens and earth, his blade sharp and piercing, yet it shattered the very fabric of the world, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths. It was as if it could destroy countless ages and sever all past, present, and future, making it extremely terrifying!

"No!

"!" The Four Tribulations Sparrow cried out in terror, but it was powerless to resist. The Four Heavenly Swords had long been shredded into dust by the omnipresent sword energy. Its own body, including the remnant soul of its ancestor, was wiped out by the sword light. All traces of its existence were obliterated, leaving it with no chance of reincarnation!

The experts from major forces such as Xingyutian, Chaos Abyss, Silent Ridge, Yihuang Mo Family, and Yuan Clan also perished one after another, following in the footsteps of the Four Tribulations Sparrow, their bodies and souls destroyed, without even uttering a scream.

"Impossible! You are a Celestial King?!" The master of the Soul Light Cave, the shadow, the Soul Light creatures, the rotting face, and others, even though they came from the Soul River and possessed forbidden items bestowed by great figures of the Soul River, were still destroyed, completely killed, and vanished without a trace, leaving nothing behind.

In the end, all twenty-odd powerful cultivators were annihilated, turning into nothingness, dying a complete and utter death.

Within that battlefield of the outer star river, only Cao Ya stood, having dispelled his supernatural powers of having three heads and six arms and the ability to transform heaven and earth, withdrawn all his secret techniques, and returned his magical power to his body.

On the earth, countless creatures looked up in awe!
