"Whoosh." Cao Ya put away the domain spaceship, his expression cold, and did not return to the Chaos Star.

The attack by the Lord of Scarlet Snow Holy City failed, and he was killed in a few moves, but the matter did not end there.

Cao Ya knew very well that Scarlet Snow Holy City was a place where demons gathered and evil was rampant!

Originally, the cultivation world was fiercely competitive and filled with constant killing. But while fighting with enemies was one thing, the great demons of Scarlet Snow Holy City often slaughtered countless lives and caused endless harm in order to practice secret techniques.

Whether it's Fei Xue, or Xue Yun Di Jun, Hei Fu Di Jun, etc., they are all peerless demons of this kind!

"If I remember correctly, within the Crimson Snow Holy City, there was a Night Spring Emperor who, in order to cultivate his self-created 'Night Spring Secret Technique,' killed all the infants in a total of 381 territories!"

Cao Ya muttered to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He knew he was no saint; along his journey, not to mention the enemies he had defeated, many had also perished at his hands.

However, Cao Ya only targeted his enemies and never harmed the innocent. He was not insane enough to practice cruel techniques like the "Night Spring Secret Technique".

Previously, his strength was weak and he had many concerns, but now his combat power has soared. Moreover, he has already killed Fei Xue, the top holy city lord. It is time to press on and crush Fei Xue Holy City!

"dominate!"

At this moment, the heroes in the Mingguang Palace, including the experts on the Chaos Star, all sensed it and flew out one after another. They only saw Cao Ya and the surging divine power that had not yet subsided.

They sensed something and were immediately horrified.

Even a wisp of aftershock would be enough to take their lives!

Upon hearing the titles bestowed upon the powerful figures of the Mingguang Palace, the other cultivators were utterly dumbfounded.

"Lord... Ruler?!" Their eyes widened.

"The Lord of Scarlet Snow Holy City came with malicious intent and was killed by me." After Cao Ya finished speaking, he raised his hand and slashed, the void cracked open, and he stepped into it and disappeared.

They remained where they were, leaving behind numerous shocked World Realm experts and Dao Lords.

Among them were figures from the Dao Alliance, who, in their astonishment, immediately took out their secret treasures and sent messages to powerful figures in the Immortal Palace.

"What?! Dao Lord Mingguang has already merged with the Dao and become a ruler, and he even killed Feixue?!"

Emperor Jinyu was utterly astonished upon receiving the message. How long had it been since the Yi Bo Realm upheaval ended? Even with the Dongming Jade Talisman in hand, its effect on a peak Dao Lord was not perfect. How could Dao Lord Mingguang have reached the Dao Integration Dominator Realm with such incredible speed?!

"The strongest of our time... that's not all. You should know that the Wine Saint is already the top Dao Lord, and with the blessing of the cosmic treasure, he is considered powerful among the first Dao Lords of all time. He is qualified to compete for the position of 'the strongest Dao Lord in the history of the Flame Dragon Domain'!"

"But even such a powerful Wine Saint was defeated head-on by Daoist Mingguang!"

"His cultivation period was extremely short, less than a single Chaos Era!"

"Numerous examples have already proven the terrifying level of Mingguang Daojun's comprehension!"

"Perhaps only the younger Dao Lord Beiming can compare to him!"

The Black Cloud Emperor analyzed the situation, his expression one of astonishment.

Compared to Daoist Mingguang, let alone the lords of these holy cities, even the three great rulers pale in comparison.

"Haha, our Dao Alliance has finally found a proper ruler. However, the situation of Daoist Qing Shi is too special. His true form is only at the peak of the Holy City Lord, just like you and me."

Emperor Jinyu laughed heartily. "The number one person in the Dao Alliance, from now on, it seems we'll have to change people."

Qing Shi Dao Ren is indeed powerful, but given the current situation, they think he is slightly inferior to Ming Guang Dao Jun... no, he should now be called "Ming Guang Ju Ju"!

Emperor Heiyun also laughed. With Daoist Qingshi and Ruler Mingguang present, and if Emperor Yibo also returned, the Dao Alliance would be one family, comparable to the other families at the Ruler level!

The number of the Holy City Lords also surpasses that of any other one, and the combined forces of those five major powers are fully capable of fighting!

If all the powerful emperors who have gone on long journeys, such as the Heart Sword Emperor who is known as the "strongest under the ruler," were to return, there would be a chance that they could fight against five opponents and win!

The situation within the Dao Alliance is excellent!

“Feixue is dead, Mingguang has vanished…” Emperor Heiyun pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed.

Across from him, Emperor Jinyu frowned and said, "He's got his eye on Scarlet Snow Holy City!"

“He deserves it.” The Black Cloud Emperor quickly relaxed his brows again.

If a ruler were to take over a holy city, let alone the entire Dao Alliance, both of them would immediately abdicate and yield their positions.

This is a world of cultivation, where all power is built upon absolute strength!

"The Scarlet Snow Holy City, teeming with demons, also needs a thorough cleansing," said Emperor Jinyu.

In the past, they did not have the power to crush others. Other holy cities or the reclusive Dao Lords of the Dao Alliance were also fiercely divided in factional disputes, but they could not unite and could not besiege the Scarlet Snow Holy City to eliminate the evil demons.

If war is started prematurely, it will undoubtedly weaken the Dao Alliance and only give the five major powers an opportunity to take advantage of it.

There was no other way. The leaders of the Scarlet Snow Holy City throughout history might have been hostile and had measures to suppress it, but they couldn't completely break off relations.

However, this newly ascended ruler comes from a remote territory, has no master or entanglement, and has never been involved in the struggle between factions within the Dao Alliance.

He was incredibly powerful, the lord of the Scarlet Snow Holy City, but due to greed, he attacked first and was killed by Mingguang.

In this way, it would be no problem for the Bright Light Overlord to cleanse the Scarlet Snow Holy City!

With a righteous reason and a solid position, it will not cause panic in the territory of the Dao Alliance, nor will it ignite a massive war. One person can suppress all resistance without weakening the Dao Alliance or causing it to fall from its hegemonic status.

"To celebrate the birth of the 'Bright Light Ruler,' we must prepare a grand gift," said the Black Cloud Emperor.

"Hmm." Emperor Jinyu nodded, carrying the secret scroll, and set off together with Emperor Heiyun.

He will then have to adjust the Dao Lord Ranking and notify the entire realm.

The reactions from all sides at that time were something the two leaders were very much looking forward to.

The Crimson Snow Holy City was unexpectedly beautiful, unlike any demonic cave.

"So beautiful." Cao Ya appeared here and saw the Scarlet Snow Holy City not far away.

The entire holy city was filled with countless palaces and caves, with countless cultivators coming and going.

These palace-style cave dwellings are all built atop the clouds, and are incredibly beautiful.

"Whoosh." Within the holy city, pure white snowflakes always fall, pleasing to the eye and even possessing a sense of "holiness".

If one were not familiar with the inside story, anyone who came to Scarlet Snow Holy City would only think that it was a sacred place for cultivation and had nothing to do with evil demons.

"Such beautiful snowflakes are stained with the blood of countless lives."

Cao Ya's eyes were cold. The massacres committed in the Scarlet Snow Holy City were too numerous to recount; any ancient history book he opened would be shocking.

Even figures like Emperor Yequan, who slaughtered infants across hundreds of territories, are not considered the most cruel!

"Buzz." Suddenly, Cao Ya revealed the Niwan Palace World, covering the Scarlet Snow Holy City and suppressing all directions.

"Who is suppressing the Holy City and daring to provoke my Scarlet Snow Demon Palace?"

Instantly, all the emperors and Dao Lords of the Scarlet Snow Holy City were alarmed.

"Whoosh!" A series of demonic figures with soaring auras flew into the sky, their faces grim and filled with killing intent.

"Such contempt for my Crimson Snow Demon Palace is unbelievable! Even if the leader of the Dao Alliance were to descend, he would not dare to be so arrogant!"

The numerous emperors sneered, their auras surging and interconnected, becoming increasingly terrifying.

They also knew that no fool could achieve immortality.

It was obvious that the person opposite had come prepared, and it was unknown what their trump card was.

"Huh? Daoist Mingguang?" Suddenly, a group of emperors were stunned.

As the strongest Dao Lord of our time, Cao Ya's fame has spread throughout the realms. Even the emperors know of him and have seen the battle footage recorded by others.

"What happened? All the Eternal Emperors have appeared?"

From the numerous cave dwellings, the Dao Lords and World Realm cultivators who had been cultivating in seclusion also emerged, each looking at the sky with curiosity and astonishment.

This is Scarlet Snow Holy City, one of the eight holy cities of the Dao Alliance. Even if Dao Lord Mingguang is powerful, he shouldn't come here to provoke us!

What's the difference between this and courting death?

In this place, there are more than just one or two lords of the Holy City; there are top-tier ones among them!

"Daoist Mingguang was too reckless." Everyone sighed. Today, were they really going to witness the end of the strongest Daoist of his generation?!

Unbeknownst to them, the Lord of Scarlet Snow Holy City had been killed by Cao Ya.

Such demons completely distrust anyone, even those who have joined the Scarlet Snow Demon Palace.

Whether it was their ultimate moves or their whereabouts, everything was kept secret, and no one knew that their city lord had already fallen.

"Blood Cloud Emperor, Black Rot Emperor, Night Spring Emperor... Very good, everyone is here, which saves me the trouble of running around again." Cao Ya nodded, and the Niwan Palace World lowered.

"Heh, Dao Lord Mingguang, you're truly arrogant." Emperor Xueyun, clad in a blood-red robe, sneered. "Isn't it enough for you to act so high and mighty in the Dao Lord of Life and Death realm? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of us emperors!"

Emperor Xueyun is actually no less powerful than Feixue. Both are top-tier holy city lords with extremely strong survival abilities.

Emperors like the Black Corruption Emperor and the Night Spring Emperor are also top-tier emperors.

This also shows how terrifying the Dao Alliance is. As one of the eight holy cities, it has at least two top holy city lords, plus twenty or thirty ordinary and top-tier emperors!

Other holy cities are no weaker than Scarlet Snow Holy City.

Not to mention the powerful figures within the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, there are also figures like Daoist Qing Shi, who live in seclusion and are unknown to the public, yet their power is equally terrifying.

The Eternal Clan has only three Holy City Lords, and the Mangya Kingdom has only one Emperor, the Mangya Ruler.

The Dark Kingdom, ancient cultivators, and special life forms—the number of Emperors is greater, but they are worlds apart from the Dao Alliance.

The position of overlord of the Flame Dragon Domain is not something that can be achieved through flattery; the strength of the Dao Alliance is beyond doubt.

"Why waste words with him? Just kill him!" The Black Rotten Emperor's eyes were sinister. He was ugly and twisted, and he liked to eat all kinds of rotten flesh. He would often slaughter all living beings and cook them after they rotted.

Because the bodies of those who cultivate to a high level are immortal and not to their liking, the Black Rotten Emperor often treats mortal beings as food.

Given its consumption capacity, a single meal could result in the deaths of trillions of lives.

But how could these mortal beings possibly offend the corrupt and evil emperor? They all died in vain, unable to resist.

"Where is the city lord?" Emperor Yequan suddenly asked in confusion. Despite the great changes, the lord of Scarlet Snow Holy City still had not appeared. Could it be that he had obtained some information about the ruins and secretly went out to explore?

"Feixue, he is dead, but don't be afraid, you will soon follow in his footsteps."

Cao Ya said indifferently, "The Niwan Palace World is pressing down, and the Bright Light Divine Axe and the Black Heaven Emperor Umbrella are displaying their divine power."

With a flick of his finger, a burst of light erupted, almost blinding all the emperors. The Dao Lords and World Realm cultivators below were even more overwhelmed by the dazzling light, unable to see anything.

Cao Ya scanned the area and realized that none of the emperors here were not demons; all of them had slaughtered innocent people.

Most of the Dao Lords and World Realm cultivators below are also deeply sinful; only a few have traveled here.

Many demons, having committed heinous crimes and hunted down by powerful figures, could only flee to the Crimson Snow Holy City for protection.

In order to strengthen the power of the Holy City, Fei Xue accepted all comers.

With the support of Emperor Xueyun and the presence of these two top-tier holy city lords, they have nothing to fear.

"Die." Cao Ya was ruthless, unleashing his great power, invincible, sweeping across the sky, causing the Great Dao to mourn.

"Kill! If we kill Daoist Mingguang, we will also gain something. He has so many divine fruits; we will all get a share!"

A group of emperors roared and unleashed their power, their divine light surging and the aura of the Great Dao flowing forth.

Although they did not know that Cao Ya had already achieved Dao, they had heard of his fierce battle record in the Yi Bo Realm and the Chi Bo Palace.

This Daoist Mingguang is probably qualified to fight Emperor Xueyun in a one-on-one battle.

If they don't go all out, Emperor Xueyun might be fine, but the remaining top-tier emperors and ordinary emperors will be in great danger.

"Boom!" With a violent explosion, the ultimate moves of more than twenty emperors were all shattered, destroyed by Cao Ya's magic without any resistance.

"What?!" Many emperors exclaimed in disbelief.

Blood Cloud Emperor began to doubt his own existence. He was a top-tier Holy City Lord, and even in a one-on-one fight, he should be no match for Bright Light Dao Lord. Yet now, he had more than twenty Emperors as his allies... Why...?

Suddenly, Emperor Xueyun realized something, and his pupils constricted sharply.

"You've achieved enlightenment?!"

The emperors were in an uproar, and their hair stood on end.

Cao Ya said indifferently, "You're only realizing it now?"

Before the words were even finished, a torrent of laws swept out, engulfing all the emperors.

"Run!" A group of emperors instantly lost their will to fight, including Emperor Blood Cloud.

Its domineering power is unmatched, looking down upon the heavens and the earth. Even the most powerful lord of a holy city is no match for it.

In everyone's mind, Cao Yagui is the top Dao Lord. If he has achieved Dao, what else could he be but a ruler?!

"You can't escape." Cao Ya said coldly. The Niwan Palace World imprisoned the void, making it impossible to fly through the air. As for escape speed, it was also suppressed by the world. The Bright Light Divine Axe and the Black Heaven Emperor Umbrella also hindered it, causing the group of emperors to reduce their speed sharply.

As the torrent of laws surged forth and the bright light overwhelmed everything, a large number of emperors, their eyes filled with terror, immediately perished.

"Break! Break! Break!" Emperor Blood Cloud went mad. After merging with the Dao, he felt the threat of death for the first time in a long time, as if it were a thorn in his back.

"Boom..." A river of blood appeared, without source or end, surging mightily at the top of the sky.

However, Emperor Xueyun's desperate move was easily shattered by Mingguang's charge.

"Cough cough." Emperor Blood Cloud coughed up blood, his face turned pale, and despair was evident in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, save me!" The Black Rotten Emperor, Night Spring Emperor, and others nearby were all filled with fear.

The Black Corruption Emperor transforms into black mist, containing extremely strong corrosive properties and accompanied by illusions, allowing enemies to die with a smile.

But with a single slash of the sword, the black mist shattered, and even the Black Corruption Emperor couldn't help but let out a scream of fear.

"No!!" Emperor Yequan and the others were equally desperate, powerless to resist Cao Ya's magic.
