"Ugly King, you are at least a peak Dao Lord. Even if you are ranked nineteenth, you must have some strengths that should not be underestimated. Yet, such a master is so loyal to the same-level Master Sui Meng..."

Cao Ya shook his head, thinking that the Ugly King must have received a great favor from the Lord of the Dream Sect in the past, which was why he submitted to him.

The leader of the Sui Meng Cult established a vast sect, wielding the power of life and death, and commanding the awe of countless beings. His personality was also extremely morbid, even bordering on the extreme, with a bloodlust for killing and torture. He was a true demon!

Ugly King was his capable subordinate, loyal and devoted, and the only person the Lord of Dreams trusted.

If the Lord of Suimeng values ​​himself the most, then the Ugly King ranks second. The Lord of Suimeng doesn't care about the rest. Even the three rulers and the lords of many holy cities are only wary of his power.

“Buzz…” A huge illusory world appeared outside the body of the Master of Dreams.

As the strongest Dao Lord of the contemporary Mind Power Flow, the terrifying power of the Master of the Dream of the Years is beyond doubt.

Although he cannot be compared with some of the masters of mental power in history, such as Yu Chang Dao Jun.

The latter was the undisputed number one Dao Lord at the time. Even the Lord of the Holy City would change color when facing him. Although the Lord of Sui Meng was strong and ranked sixth, he was still far inferior to Dao Lord Yu Chang.

His ability to reach the top of the Dao Lord list is a testament to the capabilities of the Lord of Dreams. Moreover, unlike the Wine Saint and Ji Ning, he specializes in the Mind Power Stream, and his mastery in this area surpasses that of others!

It is perfectly normal for such Dao Lords of Mind Power to possess a virtual world.

The pursuit of the Mind Power Flow is to create a real world, vast and expansive, so that once projected, it can suppress all kinds of powerful enemies!

"Go!" The Lord of Suimeng's eyes flashed, and the projection of his mental power world spun around, gathering all kinds of illusory great paths, and his divine power surged like a wave, crashing towards Cao Ya.

"The Dao Lords of the Mind Power Stream are the most troublesome," Cao Ya muttered. Compared to the traditional Qi Refining and Body Refining Streams, the Mind Power Stream is difficult to enter, difficult to cultivate, and extremely rare!

But once you achieve something, you'll be at the strongest level in your class, terrifying beyond measure!

The world of mental power, though not yet perfect, is already a realm comparable to a territory for a Dao Lord on the edge of the Dao Integration stage. Even with its significant problems, how many people could withstand such a vast world descending upon us?

"Fortunately, I have many methods—well, thanks to the system space."

Cao Ya thought to himself, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a torrent of laws, which was real and authentic, yet it shattered the illusory world, causing the Lord of the Dream Sect to turn pale and bleed from the corner of his mouth.

"Stop injuring the leader!" the Ugly King roared, his massive curved blade already swirling behind him.

"Whoosh!!!" The gleaming blade energy surged in all directions, attempting to resist the torrent of laws and create space for the Lord of the Dream Sect to escape.

"Commendable loyalty," Cao Ya praised, flicking his finger to shatter the blade's edge with a sharp sword light.

It should be noted that his swordsmanship combines many systems, and his sword intent is profound, comparable to the most powerful Dao Lord!

"Boom!" The Ugly King crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater. If the surrounding void had not been engraved with various arrays and restrictions by Emperor Yi Bo, which could restrict the entry of Dao Lords, even those at the eighth level of the Dao Lord realm would have been shattered in such a clash!

Cao Ya fought against three opponents single-handedly, relying on various divine laws to be incredibly brave and suppress the Lord of the Dream Sect and the Ugly King!

Such a scene left the onlookers utterly astonished.

"Damn Mingguang Daojun!" The leader of the Suimeng Sect had a gloomy face and felt very regretful.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have colluded with the Ugly King to ambush him in secret, and this tragic situation wouldn't have happened.

After news of the birth of Yi Bo Realm spread, since the territory they ruled was not particularly far from Da Mo Realm, the Lord of Sui Meng and the Ugly King quickly arrived and entered Yi Bo Realm in almost the first one or two groups!

In the mind of the Lord of the Dream Sect, Emperor Yi Bo, who stood above heaven and earth, was the lord of a holy city.

His alliance with the Ugly King is comparable to the threshold of a Holy City Lord, so it shouldn't be a problem. Including some other important treasures, they would dare to fight even an ordinary Holy City Lord!

The Lord of Suimeng did not believe that Emperor Yibo would leave his treasures here.

In this way, first come, first served, how could anyone not obtain the Dongming Jade Talisman?

The leader of the Sui Meng Cult had even planned to first seize a Dongming Jade Talisman, use it himself, and then fight to help the Ugly King.

However, the situation they encountered after arriving in the Yi Bo Realm was far beyond what the Lord of Sui Meng had anticipated.

With his abilities, he was actually restricted, unable to traverse the void, and could only fly?! And the division into ten realms left the Lord of the Dream Sect completely baffled. Damn it, where exactly is the Cave-Dwelling Jade Talisman hidden?!

In secret, the leader of the Sui Meng Cult had cursed Emperor Yi Bo countless times.

Driven by a mix of frustration and longing, he fought his way to the eighth realm, searching but finding nothing. Suddenly, he saw the newly promoted second Dao Lord—Dao Lord Mingguang—flying across the sky, seemingly heading straight for the ninth realm!

Immediately, the leader of the Sui Meng Sect had a thought and felt that Daoist Ming Guang's actions must have a deeper meaning!

Furthermore, when Mingguang Daojun first made his name, his greatest achievement was to fight to a draw with Qiyin Emperor. The Suimeng Sect Master secretly thought that if he and the Ugly King joined forces and used their treasures, they could also fight to a draw, or even defeat, an ordinary Holy City Lord!

With such confidence, the leader of the Sui Meng Sect naturally harbored murderous intent, wanting to suppress Daoist Ming Guang and force him to reveal information!

After all, Daoist Mingguang had no allies, not even those at the second level; he was all alone.

In the eyes of the Lord of the Dream Sect, there was no need to be too wary; as long as they were cautious, they could be surrounded and killed.

However, his ambush with the Ugly King was not only seen through by Daoist Mingguang at a glance, but also suffered a fatal blow. As soon as they fought, he was injured and blood flowed through the sky!

The mental and physical methods of the Master of the Dream Sect were almost completely useless against Daoist Mingguang!

He couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace ranked Mingguang Daojun second, even surpassing Palace Master Lixing and King Guangming, second only to the Wine Saint. He truly was a super prodigy!

If it weren't for the fact that Daoist Mingguang hadn't used his mental power techniques, Sect Leader Suimeng would have suspected that the other party was also a master who had cultivated mental power techniques as a secondary skill!

"This year is unlucky; I've run into a heaven-defying Dao Lord." The Lord of Sui Meng was frustrated, but he had no other choice. He had already offended him, so he either had to fight to the end or run away!

However, Cao Ya's torrent of laws, along with a celestial river, surged and flowed, leaving the Lord of the Dream Sect with virtually no chance of escaping.

What the Ugly King was trying to gain was only a breather. Moreover, the Lord of the Dream Sect valued the Ugly King highly and couldn't make up his mind to run away on his own.

Such a loyal and capable subordinate is hard to find again if you abandon him!

"Boom..." From all directions, the torrent of laws surged and shimmered with light. Cao Ya's figure disappeared into the Milky Way, and divine sense could not lock onto him. Moreover, it seemed that there was another enormous creature lurking in the depths of the river.

A warning sounded in the mind of the Dream Master, and his eyes suddenly hardened.

"Fight to the death!" roared the Lord of Suimeng. He was an extreme person. He had reached the sixth level of Dao Lord, and when it came to fighting to the death, he would never back down!

The Tao does not distinguish between good and evil; sometimes, obsession is not necessarily a flaw.

"Mingguang." Suddenly, the leader of the Suimeng Sect spoke, his voice ethereal, echoing in Cao Ya's ears and resounding in his heart and mind. Beautiful landscapes kept appearing in his mind, seemingly intoxicating him and making him unable to muster any fighting will, as if he was about to succumb to it.

"Illusion?" Cao Ya smiled. He personally didn't know much about illusion techniques.

But there is another version of myself who has studied such supernatural powers and has a clear understanding of the Dao, able to see through all phenomena.

With just a change of heart, the environment painstakingly created by the Master of Dreams was shattered, revealing the true world.

Meanwhile, the Ugly King, wielding that eerie, enormous curved blade, had already charged forward!

After the previous exchange, the Lord of Suimeng was quite clear that his illusions could not truly affect Daoist Mingguang. What he sought was merely to create a sliver of opportunity for the Ugly King to engage in close combat!

"Having comprehended so many laws, and possessing such extraordinary skills, I refuse to believe that your close combat abilities can still be so formidable!"

The leader of the Dream Sect, in a fit of rage, unleashed his inner power, which permeated the void.

At the same time, a virtual world was also suppressing and resisting Cao Ya's torrent of laws.

"Die!" the Ugly King roared. The leader had given him such a golden opportunity, and he had to seize it!

Otherwise, the leader will be disappointed, and the Ugly King will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Daoist Mingguang, it seems there is danger." Palace Master Lixing, Daoist Xiaomeng, King Guangming, and others exchanged glances, showing their apprehension towards the alliance between Sect Leader Suimeng and King Chou.

The Wine Saint stared intently, observing carefully. In this kind of encirclement and attack, if he did not take out the treasure of the universe, there would be some risks. He would have to go all out to fight back. And how would Daoist Mingguang deal with it?

The Nine Dust Sect Master, Daoist Laiya, Daoist Tianyi, Daoist Damo, and others all had their hearts in their throats.

Although I am not familiar with Mingguang Daojun, who does not know the infamous reputation of Suimeng Sect Master and Ugly King?

They asked themselves honestly, and realized that they still supported Daoist Mingguang in this confrontation.

Only Ji Ning remained calm and composed, a smile on his face. Their past friendship, forged during their time in the Three-Leaf Realm of the Other Universe, had even earned him guidance from Daoist Mingguang, leading to rapid advancements in his swordsmanship.

He understood perfectly well that Mingguang Daojun's close combat skills were no weaker than his ranged combat skills!

The Ugly King's close approach will not only fail to create any difficulties, but will also result in a fatal blow!

"The way of the sword? Actually, I can do it too, but I'm still a bit inferior to the Ugly King," Cao Ya murmured.

"What?"

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, layers of golden Buddhist light shimmered on Cao Ya's body, conveying a sense of being tempered through countless trials and tribulations, and of timelessness and immortality.

Moreover, a blazing sun shone overhead, and pollen drifted and scattered across the world.

"Rumble..." Cao Ya's figure swayed, and three heads and six arms appeared. His fists, palms, swords and fingers were all fierce. Even without the torrent of laws, he still managed to kill the Ugly King and break through its body!

"Thump!" From the depths of the Milky Way, a Kunpeng soared forth, roaring proudly across the heavens and earth.

Ugly King screamed in agony as his body exploded, his true spirit almost pierced through by Cao Ya's sword finger.

"Ah Chou!" The leader of the Sui Meng Sect was furious and immediately sent a telepathic message, instructing the Ugly King to use his treasures.

"Buzz!" The Ugly King took out two strange objects, which emitted a brilliant light, making them impervious to all magic and protecting him. Finally, he blocked the Kunpeng and the sword energy, fist energy, palm energy, Buddha light, etc.

It should be noted that since tens of thousands of Chaos Eras ago, he and the Lord of Suimeng have traveled through the Flame Dragon Domain and ventured into the Yu Star Sea. The two of them joined forces and their strength was quite formidable, so they naturally reaped great rewards, and they had no shortage of all kinds of rare treasures.

Although the most precious items are all with the Lord of the Dream Sect, what the Ugly King possesses is no less valuable.

Generally speaking, they possess several times the power of a Holy City Lord, and some are even comparable to a single strike from an ordinary Holy City Lord!

Even the weakest ones are not worth keeping; it's better to leave them as they are.

Having exhausted two great treasures and suffering a miserable state himself, Cao Ya's attack was ultimately neutralized.

"Pfft!" The Ugly King fell down, his body and spirit almost completely destroyed, his true spirit dimmed, but thanks to the strange object, he survived Cao Ya's fierce attack.

"I survived!" Ugly King was filled with relief. Just now, he really thought he was about to die!

"How dare you... injure Ah Chou to such an extent..." The leader of the Sui Meng Sect was furious. He did value himself the most, but Ah Chou also held a significant place in his heart.

Unfortunately, the surging torrent of laws crashed against the illusory world, shattering mental strength and rendering any assistance impossible.

"Master, it's time to escape!" Ugly King quickly transmitted his voice. He felt that continuing to fight would only deplete his treasures and barely allow him to survive, with no hope of killing Daoist Mingguang.

"You can't escape!" the Lord of Suimeng replied in a deep voice. The Heavenly River and the torrent of laws flowed through all directions, and their escape speed could not shake them off.

The main reason is that within the Yi Bo Realm, due to the decrees of Emperor Yi Bo, the heavens and earth are imprisoned, making it impossible to break through the void.

Otherwise, they would still have a chance to escape. They only need to throw out two or three treasures and unleash the magic power of the first level of the Holy City Lord to intercept Daoist Mingguang in an instant.

"That damned Emperor Yi Bo!" The Lord of Sui Meng couldn't help but curse again.

"Master, what should we do?" the Ugly King asked.

"Use your trump card!"

The leader of the Sui Meng Sect had a cold look in his eyes as he said, "The rare items we obtained during our adventures in Yu Xing Hai that have survived to this day are mostly at the threshold level of a Holy City Lord, with the stronger ones reaching the level of an ordinary Holy City Lord."

"But the real killing moves, the snow-white flowers on my body and the crimson venom on your body, one offensive and one defensive, are all of this kind, far surpassing ordinary Holy City Lords, even top Holy City Lords, or even peak Holy City Lords, can be threatened or resisted!"

Ugly King nodded. He and the sect leader were on equal footing, and he was already a strongman comparable to the threshold of the Holy City Lord. It was not surprising that he had such a good harvest after taking such a risk.

Yu Xinghai is an ancient battlefield, incredibly mysterious, with numerous ruins. As long as you have enough strength and a bit of luck, you have a chance to obtain all sorts of divine weapons!

At this point, facing the immense pressure from Daoist Mingguang, all sorts of divine weapons and wondrous artifacts were useless.

Only their ultimate moves—the snow-white flowers and the crimson venom—can be effective!

Those snow-white flowers are defensive treasures, almost reaching the level of ordinary rulers. They are kept by the Lord of Suimeng to protect himself.

The Crimson Venom is wielded by the Ugly King, who uses it to lead the Sui Meng Cult into battle.

Both of these items were obtained from Yu Xinghai, and it is unknown who left them behind, but their divine power is beyond doubt.

"Although there's only one bottle of Crimson Venom left, we can't worry about that now." The Lord of Suimeng's eyes were icy cold. As long as they killed Daoist Mingguang, they would have a great harvest, and the spoils would definitely satisfy them!

"Master, please distract me! I'll desperately try to get close to Daoist Mingguang and unleash my Crimson Spike Poison!"

Ugly King said that this venom is difficult to take effect if you don't get close, but Daoist Mingguang can easily avoid it with his speed.

"Hmm." The leader of the Sui Meng Cult nodded.

The seemingly complicated transmission between the two was actually completed in an instant by Daojun's divine sense.

"Boom!!" Cao Ya's magic power also descended, crushing a piece of the illusory world.

He sized up his two opponents, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What are they talking about? And why aren't they running away?!"
