"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...
Emperor Beihe is indeed no ordinary character; he is a powerful and ruthless figure. However, until he achieves the perfect Emperor level, he is not yet a worthy opponent of Cao Ya!
Throughout the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range, so far, the only ones Cao Ya has truly been wary of are the Five Supreme Beings!
However, after hearing news about the "God of Wind and Fire" once again, the five supreme beings were slightly tempted, but in the end, they did not take any action.
Defeating Shi Yuanhuang certainly proved the power of the "Great God of Wind and Fire," but it wasn't enough to arouse their covetousness. Even if the "Great God of Wind and Fire" possessed special secrets, such as supreme treasures or secret techniques, could they possibly facilitate their "ultimate awakening"?
Others may have different opinions on this question, but the five supreme beings unanimously agree that it is negative.
"Ultimate Awakening"—how difficult is that? They imagine that even "Yuan" would have very few things that could help achieve this final step.
Most importantly, the "Great God of Wind and Fire" is a cultivator belonging to the system of rules and mysteries. When "Yuan" heard about him, he truly valued him and bestowed upon him a treasure, which is unlikely to be of the bloodline system type.
Breaking free from the confines of the Origin World and attaining the Great Realm of Primordial Chaos has been extremely difficult since ancient times!
With such thoughts in mind, the several supreme beings naturally became too lazy to leave their lair. They were still single-mindedly pondering the "ultimate awakening" of their special bloodline, or paying attention to the whereabouts of the Serpent Fang Marrow Pearl and the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl, hoping to re-enter the Serpent Fang Corridor and obtain great fortune!
Once you reach the peak of the Emperor level, many of the secret places in the Broken Tooth Mountains are no longer of much help. Only the Serpent Fang Corridor, the most dangerous place, is coveted, and people yearn to find opportunities there!
Meanwhile, Cao Ya defeated and suppressed Shi Yuanhuang, using magical powers to put him into a deep sleep. He then carefully studied the giant beast, analyzing the Dao traces and divine runes within its body to determine their function.
Lower-level primordial life forms are nurtured by nature and born in accordance with its rules. Every organ in their body, including scales and feathers, has extraordinary uses.
Countless divine marks of the Great Dao were clearly displayed on their bodies, revealing a portion of the supreme truths of the world and captivating cultivators.
What Cao Ya had to do was record all of Shi Yuanhuang's Daoist texts, and ponder their uses and the different effects that would result from combining different Daoist texts.
Midway through, Emperor Shiyuan was provoked and let out a low roar, as if he were about to awaken.
"Clang." Cao Ya made a hand seal, and another illusory stream of light fell down, and Emperor Shi Yuan fell into a deep sleep once more.
"Hmm, the mysteries of the various channels of the Water Path are all revealed, and the journey of fusion is also manifested. It's as if a supreme being has written a book containing the great secrets of heaven and earth. Although it is still obscure and difficult to understand due to the involvement of the mysteries of the laws, like reading a heavenly book, it has finally provided a medium. Compared to using one's divine soul power to touch the ethereal Water Path in the universe, to comprehend and fuse the various channels... there is no doubt that the difficulty is two or three levels lower!"
If the treasure of enlightenment is to enhance a practitioner's comprehension and spiritual sensitivity, thereby strengthening themselves and enabling them to overcome many difficulties and obstacles, they can comprehend the divine laws of the Great Dao.
Then, the Hunyuan body reveals a portion of the profound mysteries of the laws, making it much easier to master. If one could see it, even a not-so-powerful cosmic god would be greatly moved.
"There is also the Dao of Devouring, the profound mysteries of the various meridians, which are also complex and have clear Dao inscriptions. It is not easy to learn them. However, the possibility has increased by one or two percent."
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. The value of the Hunyuan corpses in those special worlds was indescribable. Apart from other needs, such as eating, their effect on advancing a cultivator's realm was quite obvious. Every God Emperor coveted such remains.
Of course, what people are mainly envious of here is the intricate system of rules and regulations, not the bloodline system.
There's no other way. The latter involves tapping into a special bloodline within the body, gradually awakening it, and then making great strides in improvement. There's no need to master any profound mysteries anymore; one can use it naturally.
"Ultimate awakening" also lies with the individual, not with studying all the rules.
However, Cao Ya estimated that if one could gain a deep understanding of the divine laws corresponding to special bloodlines, it might be able to benefit from them and reduce the difficulty of "ultimate awakening".
Unfortunately, even those who have reached the God Emperor realm through bloodline cultivation rarely have such an experience. To ask them to comprehend the Dao at the final moment is truly asking too much of them.
Unless they are practitioners of extraordinary paths such as the system of rules and mysteries or the system of witchcraft, who have little hope of overcoming the difficulties of breaking through the laws, the path of enlightenment, or the path of faith, and thus set their sights on "ultimate awakening," then such actions might occur.
"Thanks to Emperor Shiyuan, I have also made progress in the Dao of Water and the Dao of Devouring."
Cao Ya smiled slightly. He had no prior mastery of the Way of Water, but after a trip to the system space, he relied on the extraordinary knowledge of other universes and, through diligent cultivation, reached the first level of the Cosmic God Realm. Now, he has leaped to the second level and finally met the standard!
That Devouring Path is also at the second level.
In addition to the Way of Wind, the Way of Fire, the Way of Void, the Way of Death, the Body Refining Path, and the Way of the Blade, there are now the Way of Water and the Way of Devouring, thus achieving the standard on the path of enlightenment.
Cao Ya's cultivation level has also reached the peak of the early stage of God Emperor, just a step away from the middle stage of God Emperor.
Advancing through the rule system is more difficult than advancing through the bloodline system. If he wanted to, he could switch to the latter path and immediately transplant a special bloodline. He was confident that he could break through to the late stage of the God Emperor realm, or even the perfect level of the God Emperor realm, in a short period of time!
The only hurdle I'm not confident about is the "ultimate awakening" stage.
However, Cao Ya's current combat strength is already comparable to that of a God Emperor at the peak.
Why create trouble for your own path to chaos?
There are many precedents for world-class Chaos Origin life forms breaking through to Chaos Origin Lord, but for higher-level Chaos Origin life forms... to be honest, it is not entirely impossible, but there are almost no such examples in the infinite Chaos Origin space!
Perhaps, in distant territories, in places completely unrelated to the cultivator camp, there is a possibility that such ruthless characters have appeared.
Unfortunately, neither the cultivator camp nor the camp of naturally born chaotic life forms has produced such a special hero.
In any case, the eight lords among the cultivators were either like "Lord Luo" who broke through the law with force and directly became lords from the God Emperor Perfection, or like "Yuan" who first became a world-class cultivator and then cultivated for a long time to reach the lord level. None of them were promoted from a high-level primordial life form.
Regardless of whether it will succeed, Cao Ya definitely wants to preserve the possibility of becoming a high-level Hunyuan Lord of the Seven Stars.
Therefore, bloodline system was never Cao Ya's choice.
(
"Alas, only eight laws have been met. Even if the conditions are met, it's still a long way from the path to enlightenment."
Cao Ya suddenly sighed inwardly. More than half of the laws of a source world must reach the minimum level of the second layer... He could only lament how high the requirements were for a world-class chaotic source life form!
"The only fortunate thing is that the Broken Tooth Mountains, including the connected Thunder World and Despair World, have a lot of low-level Chaos Origin life forms, which will be beneficial to the cultivation of the path of enlightenment."
Soon after, Emperor Shiyuan was awakened and was also given two secret techniques, which explained two divine laws.
"Whoosh." Cao Ya's figure drifted away, and Shi Yuanhuang's large eyes, which were watching, revealed a rare hint of fear.
Immediately, it perused the spells Cao Ya had given it, and the fear in its eyes vanished instantly.
"Hahaha..." Shi Yuanhuang's laughter echoed throughout the void, sounding very cheerful.
This left the distant Dead Demon Clan, the natives, and the mantis beasts and lions completely baffled.
Has the Great Sage Shiyuan gone mad? He was defeated by the God of Wind and Fire, and had inscribed innate divine script, yet he can still laugh and be so excited?!
However, the two low-level Chaos Origin life forms, upon reflecting on their own situation, quickly realized the truth.
"The God of Wind and Fire is such a genuine person! I really wish he could dissect me again!"
It wasn't that the two low-level Chaos Origin life forms had abnormal personalities; they genuinely craved the secret techniques of the Wind and Fire God, hoping to amplify their combat power and make them the strongest among their peers!
The power that controlled them was utterly insignificant before the God of Wind and Fire. The fact that all the divine script had been copied was actually of little consequence. What mattered was the potential benefits gained in return.
Because of Shi Yuanhuang's defeat, the name "Great God of Wind and Fire" has caused a sensation in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range!
Countless undead races, natives, and even lower-level chaotic life forms all held it in awe!
Their views on the Boundary Heart Continent inevitably changed.
It turns out that even on that continent where experts are scarce, there are still exceptionally powerful individuals who can emerge.
Meanwhile, on the Continent of Realm Heart, the Cosmic Gods who had dispatched avatars to venture into the Broken Tooth Mountains also heard the news during this time and were all astonished!
"'The God of Wind and Fire'? Is he that powerful? That Shi Yuanhuang is one of the Eight Great Sages!"
"Originally, I thought that if the 'Great God of Wind and Fire' could reach the late stage of the Emperor level, that would be quite remarkable."
"Who would have thought it would be the limit of the late-stage Emperor realm, second only to the five Supreme Beings!"
The gods of the universe were filled with awe. The deeds of the "Great God of Wind and Fire" were beyond imagination time and time again, leaving them only able to look up to him in awe.
At the same time, they were also pleased. With the deterrent power of the "Great God of Wind and Fire," surely the people of Broken Tooth Mountains wouldn't still hold a contemptuous attitude towards the Boundary Heart Continent?
Dongbo Xueying, the Demon Sword Master (Sword Lord), and the Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen were also exploring this strange space together. The first two were using clones, while their main bodies were still cultivating in the base camp. Ba Tuochen, however, did not have a clone, but he had fused with an ultimate-level insect beast. His ability to protect himself was almost unparalleled in the Cosmic God Realm!
They traversed the void, explored floating islands, and competed with the Undead Clan and the native inhabitants for resources and treasures.
I also heard about the "God of Wind and Fire" and was immediately amazed.
"The Path of Chaos... Only those with great supernatural powers like the 'Great God of Wind and Fire' have a chance to transcend the Origin World, right?" the Demon Sword Venerable sighed.
"After all, he was the strongest being in the history of the Realm Heart Continent!" Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen laughed.
Unlike Dongbo Xueying and the Demon Sword Master, he took a shortcut by merging with an ultimate-level insect beast, which led to a rapid advancement in his cultivation.
Further improvement also lies in nurturing insect beasts. This path, Ba Tuochen has no confidence at all. He would be satisfied if he could surpass the Devouring Emperor of the Ancient Kingdom War and the Insect Ancestor of that time, and reach the God Emperor realm.
Ba Tuochen understood the mindset of his two companions. They were cultivators of unparalleled talent, and they not only yearned for the God Emperor realm, but also harbored some ambition for the Hunyuan realm.
In reality, which of those who can become cosmic gods is not an unparalleled genius?
It would be unreasonable for someone who has come to know the various realms of existence not to covet them.
However, in the Cosmic God Realm, every small level of advancement is extremely difficult.
To attain the primordial chaos... even one out of millions of cosmic gods is incredibly lucky!
"The talent of the 'Great God of Wind and Fire' is astonishing throughout history; no one can compare," Dongbo Xueying praised, recalling the great god's reminder before he ventured into the Broken Tooth Mountains: to pay attention to the Void Realm Dao...
Unfortunately, the fusion of the five meridians of the Void Realm Dao is extremely difficult. The Void Dao has already shown promise, but this law is still stuck here. Even with Dongbo Xueying's temperament and comprehension, he doesn't know when he will be able to succeed! He has even prepared himself for the possibility that the Void Realm Dao cannot be "ultimate"!
Therefore, besides refining the Void Realm Dao, Dongbo Xueying focused his energy on the Void Dao and the Body Refining Path.
We can't just keep focusing on the Void Realm Path and struggle until we can't overcome the various bottlenecks. If we do, we'll just stay at the second level and not try to advance to the third level or the God Emperor Realm.
Furthermore, the physical body and the soul are equally important. The Void Realm Path can cast illusionary spells, which are extremely strange. It can also be used for body refinement. If one can improve it, one will be immortal through a thousand tribulations and indestructible through ten thousand calamities. Putting aside everything else, this ability to protect oneself alone will give even a God Emperor a headache!
As for the Void Dao... Dongbo Xueying has not forgotten that the Chaotic Void will fall into a great catastrophe in another ten trillion years. Without becoming the "ultimate", it is impossible to withstand it and there is only one way out: death!
How could he stand by and watch so many relatives and friends, countless lives, perish?!
After reaching the "Ultimate" Void Path, one can then use the "Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique" to help all living beings, allowing a wisp of their soul to be reborn in another source world and avoid this calamity.
Surely the source world, which is adjacent to the chaotic void, can't be on the verge of total destruction!
The Realm Heart Continent is far away. Without the Realm Heart Token created by "Yuan", even if you are at the third level of the Void Path, you will not be able to transmit a wisp of soul in the chaotic void to cross this world.
Dongbo Xueying pondered in his heart that a suitable source world that was not far away, in the early to mid-stages, and at least tens of trillions of years away from the Great Destruction was a target that he would find very difficult to find, but City Lord Luo should know about it.
"Lord Luo must be a Hunyuan expert! He also told us the specific date of the destruction of the Chaos Void. Furthermore, because the Sword Master and I had the possibility of achieving the 'ultimate' Dao before the Great Cataclysm, he gifted us 'fortune' and helped me advance a long way on the Void Path."
"Otherwise, I really wouldn't have much confidence that I could achieve the Great Perfection of the Void Dao before the final calamity of the Chaotic Void, so that I could go and save all living beings!"
Dongbo Xueying was extremely grateful for Lord Luo's great kindness.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to trouble Lord Luo any further.
For a Hunyuan expert, what could a mere second-level Cosmic God possibly offer as a reward?
No amount of personal favors will help.
However, Dongbo Xueying kept this in mind, and in the future, as long as he had that ability, he would definitely repay Lord Luo! Just as he was very grateful to the "Great God of Wind and Fire".
