"Lord Ketu, return to me, this is your destined fate, and all the myriad paths of the universe are watching!"

The voice of the Chaos Serpent sounded like that of an ancient deity, proclaiming eternal rules with golden words!

"Buzz." The scent of destiny echoed in the desolate wilderness of the universe, influencing Cao Ya's mind and even his various magical powers!

It seems that Cao Ya, in the past, was indeed an avatar of the Chaos Serpent, an attempt made specifically for its own sanctification, and will merge into the main body in the "future".

And right now, that is the "future" that was destined by fate!

It must be admitted that, as one of the survivors of the Chaos Demon God, and as an unconventional saint at the weak Hunyuan Realm, the terror of the Chaos Giant Serpent is hard to imagine.

"The power of fate... unfortunately, this is the primordial world, not immortality."

Cao Ya thought to himself, although no one in the system space has crossed over to the [Eternal Life] universe, in this interface, destiny is the most supreme law and rule, surpassing all others!

However, in the primordial universe, all the endless Daos are of the same level, without any distinction of high or low.

The only difference lies in the depth of the practitioner's attainment.

If, in the [Eternal Life] universe, one were to face a powerful being at the peak of the six-star level and activate the "Great Destiny Technique"... well, let alone the most sublime destiny technique in that universe, even the slightly lesser "Minor Destiny Technique," due to the characteristics of the universe, would be no match for Cao Ya, no matter how strong his overall combat power was. Even if he had many trump cards and could keep his life, the injuries would be enough to torment him for hundreds of millions of years, and would be difficult to heal. Subsequent improvements would be as futile as a reflection in a mirror or a flower in water.

However, we are currently in the [Primordial] Universe.

The strongest saints, such as Pangu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and the Chaos Divine Tree, may have mastered the Daoist arts related to destiny, but their fundamental path is definitely not destiny!

The Chaos Serpent's supernatural powers are indeed terrifying, but ultimately they belong only to an individual and cannot gain the favor of the universe.

Even if Cao Ya is inferior in terms of sheer power at the peak of the six-star level, it is not something that cannot be contended with.

"【A gentle smile】!" Cao Yaxian steadied himself, not swayed by any divine charm.

Immediately, with a boom, he transformed into a "giant source of energy," and a huge black hole appeared on the spot. Cao Ya disappeared into it, his figure vanishing.

"Buzzing..." Various mysterious things intertwined outside the black hole, unaffected by the pull of gravity.

On the contrary, the destiny energy of the Chaos Serpent, distorted by the black hole, could not be shattered.

After all, it was only a weak Chaos Dao! Yet, this scene already astonished the Chaos Serpent.

"Indeed a formidable character!" the Chaos Serpent exclaimed in admiration. Despite their hostility, capable cultivators would not lack appreciative glances.

Of course, its greed also surged, almost overwhelming its reason!

"It seems we'll have to get serious now." The Chaos Serpent chuckled, its eyes icy cold.

Before the words were even finished, an illusory long river appeared and flowed through the desolate borderlands.

Faintly visible inside are Cao Ya from different periods, peeking out one after another, looking bewildered, unaware of what has happened.

"Haha, Lord Ketu, how do you expect to withstand this attack?" The Chaos Serpent roared, transforming into countless tiny spirit snakes that tried to burrow into the minds of countless Cao Ya, to take their place, and to solidify the declaration that "Lord Ketu" was its avatar into an unalterable fact!

However, Cao Ya, inside the black hole, was not worried.

"In this life, I can be divided into before and after the transmigration... Besides, I also possess magical abilities that can withstand this attack! After all, it's not like it's a spell cast by a seven-star Saint Realm expert!"

Cao Ya remained calm, but she wasn't entirely without a solution.

"Swoosh!" Suddenly, a bright sword light shone, illuminating this void, and even the distant starry sea seemed to gleam.

"【Slay the Dao to See Me】!" Cao Ya used this sword technique to clearly see his true self, and there was a unique connection. Immediately, all the phantoms suddenly realized, laughed loudly, and disappeared into the illusory river.

The countless serpents missed their target and immediately let out angry howls!

"What kind of sword technique is this?" the Chaos Serpent asked, its astonishment beyond words.

In that instant, it almost felt as if it were facing the swordsmanship of the Saint Realm!

But it knew that Cao Ya, the "Star Lord of Ketu," was by no means a Saint! He wasn't even a Weak Primordial Chaos cultivator!

This only proves that the terrifying power of that sword technique was beyond imagination!

Instantly, the Chaos Serpent's greed intensified and became uncontrollable.

If one could acquire such a terrifying sword technique, it would surely greatly enhance one's foundation, allowing one to grasp destiny through analogy!

"Guess!" Cao Ya chuckled, naturally not revealing the truth about the Chaos Serpent.

"I don't need to guess anymore. I will defeat you, devour you directly, and merge you into my body... At that time, I may not be able to retain your power, but I am confident that I can retain most of your soul, true spirit, memories, and experiences."

"All your cultivation and opportunities will become resources for me to attain the Holy Realm!"

The giant serpent's eyes were extremely cold. With a slight thought, the billions of spirit snakes pounced on Cao Ya's true form.

A sense of destiny began to spread, sweeping across the heavens and the earth. The ancient ruins around them all came back to life, opening their eyes, which were vertical pupils like those of a giant serpent, equally cold and cruel.

"Roar!" With a loud roar, countless figures appeared in all directions, cutting off Cao Ya's retreat.

In fact, Cao Ya never even considered escaping.

After the initial clash, Cao Ya gained some insights and further realized the abilities of a weak Hunyuan at the peak of the sixth-star level in the [Primordial] Universe.

He wanted to continue sparring, to gain deeper insights and elevate his cultivation level under the threat of life and death!

Of course, Cao Ya did not take the risk voluntarily. Since he had encountered a robbery and was confident in his ability to protect himself, what was wrong with lingering and dealing with the situation appropriately?

As cultivators, they must participate in various battles to gain practical experience and improve their techniques. It is impossible to reach the pinnacle by simply working in isolation.

"Hoo..." Cao Ya was solemn. Inside the black hole, he already had "three heads and six arms". Different hands and heads were silently chanting and wielding different spells, and divine light was shining brightly as he unleashed them.

"Boom..." The countless spirit snakes were instantly shattered, and their unwilling roars were annihilated by the profound divine light.

Even if there are remnants, the Dharma rhythm of reincarnation flows, which can remove them. Then there is the surge of the "Path of Bright Light" and the burning of flames... No matter what follow-up moves you make, they will all be in vain.

Even more dazzling sword lights, blade auras, celestial rivers, and Buddhist teachings attacked the giant serpent!

"Hiss." The black hole also emitted a terrifying gravitational force, pulling at the Great Dao and twisting its rules.

The Niwan Palace world descended, binding the giant serpent of chaos.

Undoubtedly, such a sight made the Chaos Serpent sense a sense of crisis!

"What a magnificent 'Primordial Dao Seed'!" the giant serpent secretly praised. For a quasi-saint to be able to fight it to such an extent was unprecedented, and there had been very few people throughout history.

It should be noted that at the weak Hunyuan Realm, the Chaos Serpent is not particularly powerful, but it is not far off either.

Furthermore, how could a weak person become an unconventional saint?

However, even so, Cao Ya, the "Star Lord of Ketu," was able to put up a good fight...

The Chaos Serpent sighed in disbelief. This quasi-saint, born of the human race, possessed talent and charisma rarely seen throughout history!

After all, Cao Ya had neither the blessing of human fortune nor the profound divine authority of the Heavenly Court.

The rank of "Ketu Star Lord" is quite ordinary.

"However, the more it's like this, the more tempted I become!" The Chaos Serpent's eyes were filled with greed.

Once it devours Cao Ya, it believes that its chances of becoming a saint will be over 50%!

Don't think this is low; in fact, it's already very high! Originally, it was only 10%.

"Boom!" The chaotic serpent roared, its figure moving as if it carried destiny, its aura of fate covering trillions of miles.

Cao Ya is a formidable figure, an unconventional saint after all. We must not be careless and must deal with him with caution.

The clash between the human and the snake spread to the edge of the universe, causing the Great Dao to collapse and chaos to surge.

Such commotion was noticed even in the Three Realms and across the myriad star seas by countless immortals and demons.

"That's... Lord Ketu, battling the Chaos Serpent?!" Within the Heavenly Court, all the gods and Buddhas were astonished.

Although I knew that Lord Ketu was powerful and was known as the "Primordial Dao Seed," he was extremely formidable.

But his enemy is the Chaos Serpent! It is a supreme weak primordial being!

They're actually evenly matched... at least that's how it seems for now!

Such a scene left countless gods and Buddhas dumbfounded, exclaiming in disbelief!

Even the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Old Mother of Lishan, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi, as well as the Great Emperor Gouchen, the Immortal of the South Pole, the Great Emperor of Longevity of the East Pole, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, were quite surprised.

Only the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, appeared much calmer. Being next to the Star Lord Ketu, he clearly understood how terrifying this Star Lord was!

Even those in the various heavenly planes above the celestial realm, such as Laozi, Chixia Daoist, and Taixu Daoist, couldn't help but take a second look.

"Even though we're not at a disadvantage right now, the opponent is still a weak Hunyuan..." Fairy Crimson Pearl, Goddess of Cold Fragrance, Ice Phoenix, and Golden Qilin were worried.

Unfortunately, they haven't even reached the Quasi-Saint level yet, so how could they possibly have the strength to get involved in a battlefield of weak Primordial Realm cultivators?

The Heavenly Stars of Wounded Souls, Lonely Stars, and Leaders within the Heavenly Court also sighed.

Let alone the Great Luo Immortals and ordinary Quasi-Saints, even high-level Quasi-Saints are not qualified.

To reach the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, one must consider the supernatural powers and spiritual treasures one possesses.

"Lord Ketu, you are truly formidable!" In the southwest corner of the Heavenly Realm, inside the mouth of the Guan River, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, along with his Howling Celestial Dog and a group of brothers and grass-root gods, were all amazed.

"Erlang..." Xiaotianquan suddenly looked at Yang Jian. He knew that Erlang and Cao Ya were in contact. Moreover, Erlang's strength was sufficient to participate in the battle!

If we could borrow the Lotus Lantern of the Third Holy Mother... the Chaos Serpent would be in deep trouble!

Yang Jian is indeed quite capable. If he could cooperate with Jidu Xingjun to kill the Chaos Serpent, it would be a remarkable feat! Of course, most importantly, it would increase the prestige of the human race and weaken the opposing camp!

Suddenly, a message arrived. Yang Jian accepted it, paused slightly, and then smiled.

"It seems that Lord Ketu has truly reached the edge of becoming a weak Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator."

Yang Jian said that whether it is traveling to the edge of the universe or taking risks to fight alone, it is enough to show that Jidu Star Lord has encountered the final bottleneck and is eager to be touched by the outside world!

"A formidable figure!" Howling Celestial Dog and the others looked on in astonishment, their divine senses mixed with the power of laws as they gazed towards the desolate borderland.

Of course, just like the Chaos Serpent, they were all mistaken.

Cao Ya's own cultivation level has only reached the eighth level of Quasi-Saint. If he were to truly reach the limit of the ninth level of Quasi-Saint... not to mention defeating the Chaos Serpent, he would be in no danger whatsoever!

Even the important figures in places like Huoyun Cave, Lingshan, and Wuzhuang Temple in the Immortal Realm were somewhat surprised.

Cao Ya also sent a message, politely declining the help from the heroes of Huoyun Cave.

"Lord Ketu, you're just one step away from success," the Three Emperors Taoist said with a smile.

Emperors Ku, Zhuanxu, Yao, Shun, and Yu the Great, while overjoyed, also became wary.

Only one chaotic giant serpent was indeed dispatched, but everyone knew that Demon Ancestor Rahu and Donghuang Taiyi were also paying attention.

Even in the Holy Realm, most people have to maintain their dignity and will not bully the weak unless there are special circumstances.

But there are always exceptions, and the Chaos Shark is the most obvious example!

The first two times, they brought immense suffering to the human race! The First Emperor and the God of War perished as a result.

Moreover, while the Chaos Shark is absent, there are quite a few other weak Chaos beings, such as the Chaos Spider and the Chaos Bull.

Regardless of the level of powerful beings, the human race has them all, but their numbers are indeed fewer than those of the demons.

"As expected of a race that thrives under the Heavenly Dao, for thousands of years, heroes of the human race have emerged one after another."

At the edge of Beiju Luzhou, numerous eerie and terrifying figures gazed upon the battle raging in the desolate wilderness, yet could not help but admire them.

Their hostility is not directed at the human race, but merely at the conflict between humanity and the Way of Heaven. In this era, the connection is too deep; to severely damage the Way of Heaven, humanity must first be suppressed.

Moreover, even if they are enemies, how could a hero like Ketu not appreciate them?

They were either at the weak Mixed Origin level or at the Saint Realm, and in terms of cultivation, they all surpassed Jidu Star Lord.

The number of years available for cultivation is a few billion times greater than that of Lord Ketu!

Not to mention, their origins are all extraordinary, they are born divine, how could the ordinary mortal Jidu Star Lord compare?

That's why we can understand how difficult Cao Ya's rise to power was!

There are already many innate deities who are born as immortals... or even born as Great Luo or Quasi-Saints, but they are inferior to Cao Ya!

However, they have no plans to take action for the time being.

No matter what, Jidu Star Lord is only a quasi-saint, and the Chaos Serpent is more than capable of handling him.

We are not qualified to let them disregard their dignity and attack us!

"If Lord Jidu survives this battle, the future victory over the weak Hunyuan will be a certainty!"

Demon Master Kunpeng, Styx Daoist, Zhujiuyin and other big names all have high hopes for Cao Ya.

Of course, whether or not Ketu Star Lord can escape from the clutches of the Chaos Serpent is a huge test!

In the desolate frontier, deep within the black hole, the immense gravity shattered the giant serpent's power of destiny!

"Damn it!" The Chaos Serpent cursed grimly. It had launched a sneak attack, and after all this time, it still hadn't managed to capture Lord Jidu...

The gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, monsters, and ghosts in the distance are all watching, and who knows how they will mock it!

Furthermore, a sense of unease lingered in the giant serpent's heart; what if it failed to kill Cao Ya...

Without such abundant resources, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult for it to become a saint!

"It seems I can no longer hide." The eyes of the Chaos Serpent grew increasingly sinister.

As a weak mixed element, how could one not have a trump card?

However, since it involves fundamental issues, the giant serpent is unwilling to use its power unless absolutely necessary.

If others see this and have a plan, it won't be so easy to achieve further success later.

"As long as we can capture Ketu Star Lord, our chances of becoming a saint will increase, and we can also create other trump cards!"

"Worth a try!"
