"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...
Well, this way, not only can we help Brother Jiang Fan seize the Seal of Ten Thousand People... but perhaps, we can also kill Cao Ya along the way... At that time, the Seal of Azure Heaven... if the Seal of Earth, which has been reborn a second time, is also obtained by Cao Ya, we can collect them all at once...
Brother Jiang Fan, you've had a stroke of great luck...
Zhou Huo glanced at the Arctic Holy Emperor beside him, filled with envy.
It's a pity that Thunder Punishment City will never produce a second Celestial Venerable!
To cultivate independently... Zhou Huo pondered, even his most outstanding third brother, Zhou Wulian, had little hope. As for him, his second brother Zhou Tong, and his nephew Zhou Ran, it was practically impossible!
Jiang Fan had also thought of this, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the smiling Cao Ya.
I'll make you happy for another twenty years!
When the time is right, you won't even be able to cry!
Having obtained the Azure Heaven Seal, Cao Ya also acquired the Niwan Palace World, the three great spiritual treasures, and various laws.
Having reunited with the three kings of Misty City, they left Heavenly Venerable Mountain, walked out of the relief passage, and teleported back to Misty City.
"Disperse, disperse! With Cao Ya here, how can we fight?" the kings sighed.
Suddenly, a god-king chuckled meaningfully and said, "Not entirely! We are not familiar enough with each other, nor have we truly formed an alliance. We have our own grudges, and the loss of power is quite significant."
"If... we can unite and form a formation, gathering the power of dozens of God-Kings, how could Cao Ya, though strong, not be able to match us?"
"Among us, there are two third-stage God-Kings and eight Holy Emperors!"
“Everyone has reached the level of ‘time acceleration’.”
"There are many people who can accelerate by hundreds of thousands, or even millions of times!"
Before the words were even finished, the kings' eyes flickered, and they were all tempted.
If we really have to wait another six quadrillion years... such a long period of time, who knows what changes might occur?
In the first sixty quadrillion years, "time-stopping" god-kings such as the Nine Nether God King and the Asura God King appeared—though the one who succeeded was the lucky Carefree God King.
The second time, the Blood Sea Queen appeared, and Cao Ya was invincible. This doesn't even include Qin Yu, the undefeated master of Misty City!
The third time, with such a long period of time, will surely produce an extraordinary genius!
As time goes on, there will only be more and more ruthless characters like this.
The further they go, the more opportunities they have to fight for the chance to seize the opportunity at Tianzun Mountain.
Countless years from now, I fear that even the Eight Great Holy Emperors will no longer be considered experts here.
“What you say is very true, fellow Daoist.” Zhou Huo nodded, and the seven Holy Emperors, after a moment’s thought, also agreed.
In this situation, the royal family members and kings were naturally in the same camp and all expressed their agreement.
"Asura God King, Blood Sea Queen, what do you mean?" Jiang Fan looked at the others.
Despite having the trump card of the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable, he was still worried that something unexpected might happen.
If he could nip the variable in the bud... it would be one thing if he hadn't had a chance to fail, but now that he sees hope, how could Jiang Fan miss it?
"That's also possible." The Asura God King nodded slowly. No matter how proud he was, he didn't believe he could defeat Cao Ya!
Forming an alliance with the Primordial Royal Family for the sake of a Celestial Venerable title is not a big deal.
Among the ascendants, the strongest, the Asura God King, has already expressed his opinion. The others, such as the Misty God King, the Law God King, and the Blood Demon Queen, after some consideration, have also joined in.
A group of reclusive god-kings also joined in.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to continue joining forces with you." Only Xue Yun snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Although she longed for the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure, she did not absolutely need it.
Actually, I was thinking that I would rely on my own efforts to understand "time reversal" and thus attain enlightenment!
Furthermore, Cao Ya's strength was so ferocious that Xue Yun felt inferior and admired him greatly.
Everyone watched her leave without trying to stop her. The Blood Sea Queen was too mysterious; her origins were unknown, and she even had a God-King Blood Slave. To be honest, they didn't really dare to trust her.
The Asura God King is indeed more powerful, but his growth path is traceable, and they all know about it.
"It's alright, we're still strong even without her." Luo Fan shook his head.
"Then let's wait until we defeat Cao Ya first, and then discuss the ownership of the Hou Tu Seal and the Wan Min Seal... If we manage to snatch the Cang Tian Seal, which Cao Ya has already obtained... then we'll see who's faster!" the Northeast Holy Emperor laughed.
"The Northeast Holy Emperor's words are flawed," the Blood Demon Queen said with a smile. "If Cao Ya hadn't been threatened by us, would we still have continued our alliance? Of course, it would have been a matter of each relying on their own abilities."
"Whoever grabs it first can't get a turn? Are you kidding me!"
The Western Holy Emperor agreed with the Blood Demon Queen's words, saying, "Cao Tai is too fierce. If we don't defeat him, we have no hope! If we wait another sixty quadrillion years... there will definitely be more changes!"
"If Cao Ya is gone, we will fight again, just like before."
The kings all agreed: if one has no ambition whatsoever, why bother coming to Tianzun Mountain? Wouldn't it be better to stay out of it like Qin Yu and the others, without any danger?
Since we've already barged into this place, we should make our stance clear and not waste time with idle chatter or putting others down.
If Cao Ya's power hadn't been so formidable, capable of suppressing the kings, they wouldn't have stayed to discuss things.
The initial chaotic battle was the normal scene!
Sixty quadrillion years ago, it was the same. However, no one expected that this time, Cao Ya would emerge!
"Those who have an understanding of the Five Elements can get closer to lightning, light, darkness, or other elements, and connect them according to their attributes."
The Antarctic Holy Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "We also need a super divine array to combine our magical power."
The God-King of Pufa clasped his hands together and said, "There is still time. We can proceed slowly. To reach the King Realm, you must all have some trump cards up your sleeves."
"The formation of the divine array requires collective wisdom. Only in this way can our strength be increased several times, even dozens of times, so that we can confront God King Cao Ya and hope to win the battle!"
This large group of god-kings discussed the matter for a while and then departed.
Subsequently, even though they were separated by great distances, whether on the eight directions of the mainland, in the inland sea, or in the four outer seas, they could easily communicate and exchange what they had because they had mastered the laws of space and their divine senses could roam freely.
Occasionally, they would teleport to each other, and even go to the lower realm to test divine formations in the desolate depths of the starry sky!
This was also to avoid Cao Ya noticing, understanding the situation, and taking precautions in advance.
Now, even if the God King of Misty City is alert, how can he break the formation if he doesn't know how?
Meanwhile, Cao Ya and his three companions returned to Misty City, ignoring the actions of the kings.
They seemed to have forgotten that there were still two God-Kings in Misty City who had not yet made a move.
Putting Jiang Li aside, Qin Yu's strength is absolutely formidable. Even Cao Ya is wary of him wielding the Remnant Snow Divine Spear!
By recombining their formations and gathering the power of the group's kings, amplifying their strength by hundreds of times, if Cao Ya and Qin Yu join forces and wield their top-tier spiritual treasures, they can surely annihilate their opponents!
Moreover, Cao Ya and his companions were content with simply seizing one or two Heavenly Venerable Treasures.
Collecting them all is indeed too difficult, and the possibility is extremely low.
It is obvious that without Cao Ya, the alliance of the kings will collapse on its own!
Cao Ya's title of "the strongest god king in history" spread far and wide, causing a sensation in the god realm!
Countless gods and deities began to follow suit, seeking to comprehend other laws beyond the physical realm.
However, very few succeeded.
Of course, with such a large number, there are bound to be geniuses, and some of them have even entered the realm of divine laws ahead of time.
But achieving perfection is a long and arduous journey with little hope.
But new changes have always occurred; the gods and celestial beings have acquired other powerful paths.
Not everyone has a talent for understanding the laws of space.
There are countless paths, some suitable and some unsuitable.
Inside the Misty City, Cao Ya paid no attention to the situation in the God Realm. His trend-setting was unintentional. His own goal was still to study the Heavenly Seal and master the laws of time.
The Azure Heaven Seal, one of the three seals that differentiated from the Floating World Seal, contains some of the laws of time, with acceleration being more prevalent, stillness being relatively rare, and regression being extremely weak!
However, through careful study, he made some progress.
Cao Ya wasn't one to keep everything to himself; sometimes he would share it with Jiang Lan, Yi Feng, and Zuo Qiulin so they could study the large seal.
Although Cao Ya made the greatest contribution and was far ahead of the others, the other three also contributed.
Qin Yu and Jiang Li, a married couple, also observed it once, but did not play with it for long, since they did not put any effort into it.
He didn't care much. He was content to become a God King. He didn't feel that he was happy to have the hope of becoming a Heavenly Venerable, to be with his family, to be free from threats, and to have a happy life.
Back in Snowdrift City, her uncle Jiang Lan was also in Misty City. Her other siblings and other relatives could occasionally come over for gatherings and drinks. Only her parents had lost contact, but ultimately, the fault lay with Jiang Fan; she actually harbored resentment.
As for Qin Yu... he simply marveled at the power of the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure, yet he was still unable to refine it.
The new universe is his foundation; he doesn't value the Heavenly Seal much, let alone the complete Floating World Seal.
"My Remnant Snow Divine Spear has undergone a special transformation after being infused with the primordial energy born at the beginning of the universe. It has surpassed the first-class spiritual treasure and is superior to the Azure Heaven Seal."
"But what about Ukiyo-e..."
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head. There was really not much to compare between the two.
The Floating World Seal symbolizes the opportunities of the Heavenly Venerable. Its power is secondary; the key lies in the time law it contains, which is something that the God-Kings dream of!
The Remnant Snow Divine Spear, on the other hand, simply enhances its destructive power; once it hits, no god-king can withstand it!
Even the Heavenly Venerable would change color!
"Cao Ya, I hope you enter the third stage soon. If you can go even further and comprehend 'time reversal'..." Qin Yu laughed, "a group of God Kings will be dumbfounded!"
"So all that fuss was for nothing."
"I must be respectful and courteous in your presence, and dare not be the slightest bit rude."
Cao Ya was speechless. The Great Perfection of the Law of Time was no easy feat.
It will undoubtedly get harder as you go on!
The mysteries within the Heavenly Seal—stillness and regression—are, after all, rare.
The Houtu Seal is similar; only by changing to the Wanmin Seal will the chances of success increase.
"【The Supreme Being】I, in the universe, have received the seven-star Reincarnation Seal as my master and embarked on the path of reincarnation, and have already achieved something."
"I have obtained the Heavenly Seal, hoping to emulate it and make rapid progress in the laws of time."
"Even so, the Azure Heaven Seal is only at the first-class spiritual treasure level, about six-star high grade."
"The Floating World Seal, which combines the seals of Heaven, Earth, and the People, is a Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure, reaching the peak of the Six Stars level. However, it is still inferior to the Reincarnation Seal."
"Hey! Seven-star weapons? They're not that easy to get. You should be happy to have a six-star weapon."
Cao Ya carefully comprehended the profound mysteries of time flowing within the Azure Heaven Seal, and gradually began to improve.
Just as Cao Ya in [Stellar Transformation] was proving himself to be King and displaying his power in the God Realm, even defeating a six-star powerhouse—the God King, Cao Ya in the [Eternal Life Realm] universe was also determined to prove himself to be King!

【The Realm of Immortality】The Universe.
A world of death.
Kamura.
"Buzz..." Boundless radiance shone brightly across the heavens and illuminated the eight wastelands. The skeletons of the dead were not injured by it. Instead, they looked up and gazed into the distance, their eyes flashing with bone fire, revealing a kind of longing.
"Divine Village! The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Super Divine Array!"
Countless experts in the outer and middle regions of the world of death were filled with emotion.
Immediately, they disappeared into the shadows, remaining silent and still. They dared not offend the village of gods!
The legendary and fierce otherworldly realm attacked many times, but the village of gods repelled them, leaving behind the remains of many half-ancestors, ancestral gods, and stone men, which became the foundation of that super divine array!
The ancestral rulers deep within the world of death tacitly accepted that the village of gods had taken control of the outer regions of the realm of death.
There's nothing we can do, we can't beat them! What can we do if they don't acknowledge it?
If it weren't for Kamimura's caution and reluctance to be too conspicuous, not only the outer regions, but also the middle-level areas would fall under his control!
Even in the deepest areas, escape is not guaranteed.
The world of death ceased to be the core of the heavens millions of years ago; it had fallen.
All the powerful figures went to the Primordial Heavenly Realm, which has been the center of all heavens for billions of years!
Of course, the village did not act recklessly. It simply built a city in a desolate place, where the remnants of Kyushu and the four worlds lived and multiplied.
For top masters, moving mountains and filling seas, plucking stars and seizing the moon are all trivial matters.
Once the fundamental principles of nature are understood, transforming barren mountains into fertile fields is not difficult.
As for the original towns of the skeleton creatures... they were not destroyed. Instead, they were engaged in trade, exchanging goods and resources, making the outer areas very prosperous. This attracted the middle and deep-level skeleton creatures to frequently come out to trade and exchange for the resources they needed.
Even in its decline, the former core of the heavens, the Realm of Death, was still vast enough to accommodate trillions of living beings without feeling crowded.
The remnants of the Nine Provinces and the Four Directions World—the Cultivation Realm, the Curse Realm, the Soul Realm, and the Immortal Realm—numbered only a few billion. They were rescued from the slaughter by the powerful beings of the Divine Village from the other world and gradually developed. Although they now number in the hundreds of billions, in reality, they still occupy less than one-tenth of the outer region of the Death Realm.
Generally speaking, there were no major conflicts between the survivors of Kyushu and the creatures of the Dead.
Their living spaces may be adjacent, but the people of Kyushu intentionally avoid each other and are unwilling to usurp each other's territory. They voluntarily refrain from interfering with native creatures, so nature remains largely harmonious.
They are outsiders after all; how could they possibly seize the territory of the local residents?
In desolate mountains and wilderness, where no one lives, skilled people can transform them to make them suitable for human life, allowing them to thrive and multiply.
However, this did not affect the skeletal creatures.
As things progressed, the skeletons traveled more frequently to the towns of the Kyushu survivors, selling supplies and buying what they needed.
They ended up having a very pleasant time.
It can only be said that the Nine Provinces lineage is strong enough that even without actively interfering, its rules of conduct and its pursuit of harmonious coexistence inevitably and profoundly influence the regions outside the Death Realm!
It brought a different kind of elegance and charm!
Compared to the chaos, bloodshed, and slaughter of the previous millions of years, now, civilization has finally taken shape. Trade demand is booming, order is well-maintained, and there are fewer unexpected disasters, unwarranted entanglements, sacrifices, or untimely deaths...
Many skeletal creatures also benefited greatly and did not reject it at all.
I'm longing for it more and more now!
