"Feng Huo, you're too arrogant!" the Undying Nether Emperor sneered. "I've been to the Hunyuan realm, a special plane created specifically for the training of God Emperors. There, heroes from countless Origin Worlds gather, each one a terrifying God Emperor, abnormally strong!"

"But the vast majority of them, more than 90%, also chose the ultimate awakening!"

"Only a very few exceptionally talented individuals, who have gained the favor of powerful beings from the Hunyuan realm and received special cultivation, will embark on the path of enlightenment, the path of faith, or even break through the laws with force!"

"You think you're qualified to embark on the path of enlightenment? Hah, who do you think you are?"

The Undying Underworld Emperor mocked him, saying that his choice was "ultimate awakening" rather than "enlightenment".

The path of faith requires the incense offerings of a source world, and given the character of the Undying Underworld Emperor, the possibility of achieving this is extremely low.

He had little confidence in the most difficult "breaking the law with force" and the second most difficult "path to enlightenment".

The only option left is "ultimate awakening," and for him, studying special bloodlines has a slightly higher probability of success.

In fact, the two Hunyuan corpses obtained had been dissected and refined, and the blood essence that he believed was suitable for him had been absorbed and fused.

"The Hunyuan Realm, a high-level realm, is very powerful, but to play a key role in a large-scale war, one must be a world-class Hunyuan life form or lord!" Cao Ya said, giving a brief introduction to the assembled heroes. If one could surpass the third level of the Cosmic God Realm and reach the God Emperor Realm, then how should one choose the subsequent path, what are the difficulties of different cultivation routes, what are the final achievements, and whether they are suitable for oneself... one should at least have a relatively clear understanding.

At this moment, the heroes were both curious and confused, completely unable to understand the mystery of the dialogue between the God of Wind and Fire and the Undying Underworld Emperor, and what the so-called Hunyuan, enlightenment, faith, ultimate awakening, etc. meant.

However, they also knew that this involved something beyond the "ultimate" level!

So, whether you understand it or not, write it down carefully. You never know when you might need it!

"You think you can become a world-class Chaos Origin Life Form? Feng Huo, you're really delusional!" The Undying Underworld Emperor laughed heartily.

Among the three realms of Hunyuan, the strongest is undoubtedly the Lord, followed by the World-class. Within one's own Origin World, a World-class Hunyuan life form can unleash power comparable to that of a Lord!

In comparison, even advanced Chaos Origin life forms are unable to refine a Source World.

Among the experts of the Hunyuan realm, the high-level ones are considered the most common, and of course, they are also the most numerous.

The difficulty of "Ultimate Awakening" is much easier compared to the other three paths.

Eight or nine out of ten God Emperors pursue "ultimate awakening"!

The progress of the Wind and Fire God is indeed rapid, but the Undying Underworld Emperor is not optimistic that the Wind and Fire God can successfully complete the path of enlightenment!

In this special world, even among the most extraordinary God Emperors, few have truly achieved greatness, let alone the Great God of Wind and Fire, who is still on the Realm Heart Continent and has not yet embarked on his trials.

"I have no worries about lifespan on the Realm Heart Continent. Even if I go to other Origin Worlds, there will be the calamity of the birth and death of an era, but the 'Ultimate Realm' can still ignore it."

"Life is eternal, and there is plenty of time to comprehend the divine laws and seek a world-class path!"

Cao Ya said calmly, "The wind and fire swept through, shaking the sky. Light and darkness spread, and thunder roared and raged!"

"Heh." The Undying Underworld Emperor chuckled. The God Emperor's lifespan was boundless, but he encountered a bottleneck that he could not overcome even until the end of time.

Moreover, to obtain more than half of the laws of a source world requires reaching the level of a second-level cosmic god... How difficult is that?

Even a god-emperor is not the chosen one of heaven in every aspect.

The most obvious example is that the cosmic gods of the Realm Heart Continent, who have lived for countless years, often try to cultivate other Great Dao rules. Not to mention those who have reached the ultimate realm of dual Dao, even among the Undying Underworld Emperor, Xia Emperor, and the Wind and Fire God, there are very few who have reached the second level or above in two laws.

But what use are two or three divine laws in the face of a vast primordial world?

Trying to refine the source with this is simply a pipe dream; you'll just be crushed into mincemeat!

"Arrogant fool, let me test your mettle," the Undying Underworld Emperor said coldly.

Before the words were even finished, the four-legged beast's eyes lit up, it opened its huge mouth and roared, shaking the universe!

As the corpse of a peak God Emperor, it did lose some energy and some of its Dao traces collapsed after its fall. However, overall, it was still incredibly powerful. Once it was revived, it would have no problem killing a late-stage God Emperor!

The blood sacrifice is still in the planning stage and has not yet begun, so the Undying Underworld Emperor cannot use this corpse at will. However, the remnants of the original Death Walker have been infused into it, which is enough for him to make some use of it.

"Boom!!" High in the sky, a vast sound wave surged, crushing all paths and collapsing the heavens and earth!

The four-legged beast's every move seemed capable of overturning the entire continent of the Realm Heart.

Such a sight stunned the assembled heroes, who all held their breath in awe.

"Great God of Wind and Fire, is there anything you need...?" Dongbo Xueying asked telepathically.

Cao Ya politely declined, as Dongbo Xueying was not yet at the level of dominating the God Emperor realm.

Besides, he had no fear of this four-legged beast even if it were alive; what could a dead body possibly do?

"Rumble..." Wind and fire intertwined, lightning, light, darkness, metal, wood, water, earth, reincarnation, destruction, swordsmanship, void, void realm, and so on. There were at least dozens of rules that filled the universe!

Among them, there are powerful ones who are at the "Ultimate Realm", as well as those at the second and first levels. They are all fierce and interconnected, displaying supreme power that makes the heroes tremble with fear!

"Bang!!" The charge of all laws actually injured the four-hoofed beast, and the blood of the low-level Chaos Origin life form was splashed across the sky of the Realm Heart Continent.

"Huh?" The Undying Underworld Emperor was taken aback, then his face paled in shock.

That four-legged beast was his trump card, so how could it still not defeat the God of Wind and Fire?!

"Whoosh!" At this moment, golden blood began to burn within the metallic heart of the Undying Underworld Emperor, unleashing unparalleled power that caused his combat strength to increase exponentially!

The Golden Flame Heart is one of the Undying Nether Emperor's backup plans. Anyone who doesn't anticipate it is easily severely injured by the Undying Nether Emperor's sudden burst of power.

Unfortunately, Cao Ya was too powerful and familiar with the information about the Undying Underworld Emperor, so he had already taken precautions against this move.

"Ugh." The Undying Underworld Emperor coughed up blood, his body disintegrating, and the golden blood instantly burned away in a few drops.

"You've reached the pinnacle of the God Emperor realm?!" The Undying Underworld Emperor stared at the Wind and Fire God opposite him, his eyes filled with horror!

It should be noted that his combat power in his normal form was comparable to that of a mid-stage God Emperor. Now that he has been greatly enhanced, even if he is not as powerful as a late-stage God Emperor, he can definitely hold his own.

Then, four-legged beasts engage in direct combat, directly confronting the God of Wind and Fire, thus diverting his main attention...

But the result was still that he was easily defeated and crushed in one fell swoop!

Who else but a God Emperor at the peak of his power could achieve such a feat?

But here's the question: is it so easy to break through to the peak of the God Emperor realm? Even in special worlds, this level is extremely rare, and every one of them is a great supernatural being!

The Undying Underworld Emperor thought to himself that he had overestimated the Wind and Fire God enough, believing him to be a late-stage God Emperor!

However, things always turn out unexpectedly, and the power of the Wind and Fire God is beyond imagination!

"You could say yes or no," Cao Ya said calmly. His own cultivation level had only just broken through to the early stage of God Emperor, so he naturally couldn't be considered a God Emperor. However, his overall combat strength was no less than that of an ordinary God Emperor at the peak.

However, these secrets need not be told to others.

His words, however, were misinterpreted by the Undying Underworld Emperor. He thought that the Wind and Fire God might already have more than half of his body in the realm of the Perfect God Emperor, and was only one step away from it.

Such a powerful figure could indeed handle the carcass of a four-legged beast.

"In the history of the Realm Heart Continent, the most talented person is undoubtedly Feng Huo."

"For Yuan, opening up this world involved investing a lot of resources, and the appearance of you is definitely not a loss."

"But during the two ancient kingdom wars, I was the number one person on the Realm Heart Continent!"

"He was also personally selected by 'Yuan' to go to a special world for training—even though he returned in defeat!"

"My realm and power are inferior to yours, but in terms of foundation..."

The Undying Underworld Emperor murmured, calming himself down. His backup plan was not limited to this.

Even the Wind and Fire God, who has always stayed on the Realm Heart Continent, is no match for him when it comes to treasures!

"Buzz." The Crown of Death above the Undying Underworld Emperor's head emitted a golden light, and his heart area was burning with all the golden blood, making him almost comparable to the late-stage God Emperor for a short period of time!

A pair of golden gloves appeared in his hands, radiating an immortal glow.

The Undying Underworld Emperor was the first person of the first generation on the Realm Heart Continent, and the ultimate master of the Flame Path and the Death Path.

He himself created many magical spells and was invincible throughout the world!

Later, he embarked on the path of Hunyuan, relied on the Death Walker, reaped great rewards, and also obtained supreme supernatural powers.

That's why he went from being an early-stage God Emperor when he left to being a mid-stage God Emperor.

"Roar!" A huge, illusory figure suddenly appeared on the surface of the Undying Underworld Emperor's body.

It was not humanoid, but a fierce-looking lion with its mane flying, exuding an aura of death. Every single strand of its mane seemed enough to silence an entire plane.

With the support of the Golden Flame Heart, the Undying Underworld Emperor unleashed this move at the level of a late-stage God Emperor!

"Great God of Wind and Fire, die!" the Undying Underworld Emperor roared. Under his influence, the four-legged beast also charged wildly towards Cao Ya.

It can be said that the Undying Underworld Emperor has used all his main trump cards, and the remaining ones are not effective in this kind of battle.

The assembled heroes watched with bated breath, unleashing their techniques to fend off the aftershocks of the battle.

Millions of years have passed, and the Undying Underworld Emperor has become even more powerful!

"Not bad at all. The title of the first generation's 'Number One' is not undeserved." Cao Ya nodded. Even without considering the Death Walker, the Undying Underworld Emperor's abilities were still among the best in the God Emperor realm.

If there were any Death Walkers, they could all compete with the God Emperor at the Perfection level!

His ability to return safely after failing in the competition in this special world is a testament to his extraordinary nature.

"However, even within the Broken Tooth Mountains, the strength of the Undying Nether Emperor is not considered top-tier."

“The Five Supreme Beings, the Eight Great Saints, the Great Emperor of the Indigenous People, and the Emperor of the Deathly Fiend Clan all surpassed him.”

"Some other experts can also match the Undying Underworld Emperor's maximum power."

Cao Ya shook his head. The natives and the Deathly Clan, originating from the remains of the two Primordial Ancestors, were naturally extraordinary.

Even if those high-level seven-star giants perish, their remaining remains can still multiply into a vast race and give birth to a series of powerful beings!

"Why go to such lengths when you can't even roam freely within the Broken Tooth Mountains? Even if you have a great opportunity, going to a special world won't make much sense," Cao Ya said.

Even a God Emperor at the peak of the Broken Tooth Mountains only attained the Five Supreme Beings, which is completely insufficient in this special world.

In those places, it's not surprising to find dozens, or even hundreds or thousands, of such cases!

After all, it gathers countless heroes from the source worlds. With such a large base, naturally more geniuses will emerge!

Therefore, Cao Ya considered that he should first complete the established goal on the Realm Heart Continent and wipe out the evil demons before venturing into the Broken Tooth Mountains. After that, he would decide whether to leave and go to the Thunder World, the Despair World, and other places to train, depending on the situation.

"Bang." Cao Ya raised his hand, and various profound mysteries overlapped, with more than half of them, such as light, darkness, wind, fire, and reincarnation, entangling the four-legged beast. Other elements, such as metal, wood, water, earth, lightning, void, illusory realm, and time, attacked forward, carrying unparalleled power, directly crushing the lion and blasting away the Death Crown, the Golden Glove, and the Undying Underworld Emperor's precious treasures, all of which were lost, and fragments fell to the dust.

"Impossible!" The Undying Underworld Emperor's face was grim. His essence lay in fire and death. The "Curse-Slaying Holy Lion" was a super divine power he obtained after killing the Death God Emperor of another source world. With his skill, he naturally mastered it after spending many years cultivating.

Furthermore, it was amplified by the power of the Golden Flame Heart, along with the Crown of Death, the Golden Gloves...

He believed that he could fight even a late-stage God Emperor!

While the God of Wind and Fire is indeed more powerful, aren't there also four-legged beasts?!

"Given your level of cultivation, why didn't 'Yuan' appear to grant you a spot for training?"

At the same time, the Undying Underworld Emperor was very confused. He, who was only at the early stage of God Emperor, had already gotten the opportunity, so the Wind and Fire God, who was not inferior to the perfect God Emperor, was naturally more than satisfied.

“The Broken Tooth Mountains are a good training ground, why would we need any other opportunities?” Cao Ya said. Not to mention, there are also opportunities within the Broken Tooth Mountains, such as connecting to the Thunder World.

As long as you get through it, you can still enter some special worlds without "Yuan" personally descending to grant you a spot.

Besides, Cao Ya didn't think that a dignified Lord of Hunyuan would pay much attention to a source world, even if it was a plane he had created!

After all, the cultivator camp only has eight lords. Except for a few source worlds with world-class primordial life forms in charge, which do not require lords to worry about, all other places need lords to guard them.

In comparison, the core continent of the realm would certainly not receive as much attention.

The Origin World in the frontier region is where the lords mainly station their avatars to guard against a surprise attack from the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos!

There was no way around it; the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan couldn't defeat a lord in a one-on-one fight, but in terms of numbers, he was several times stronger.

Given the heavy workload of "Yuan," it's easy to imagine that he wouldn't be able to constantly observe the development of the World Core Continent.

Cao Ya was even reluctant to have too much contact with the Hunyuan experts beforehand.

Advanced Chaos Origin Life Forms and World-class Chaos Origin Life Forms are fine, but Chaos Origin Lords are already at the Seven-Star Advanced level. What if they discover the system space... In short, we should try to avoid it.

Unless, one day, Cao Ya can also break free from the cage and attain the Hunyuan!
