"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...
"Great God of Wind and Fire!" Dongbo Xueying, Demon Sword Master, and Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen respectfully bowed.
Having witnessed the battle where the Nine-Tailed Great Sage was suppressed, I now know how terrifying the Wind and Fire God is!
When he killed the Undying Underworld Emperor on the Realm Heart Continent, he did not reveal his terrifying nature at all.
No wonder he was able to defy convention and become the first cultivator in the history of the Realm Heart Continent to traverse the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, feared by all the natives, the Dead Fiends, and even lower-level Chaos Origin life forms!
"There are some treasures on this floating island. You can try to get them," Cao Ya said with a smile. He didn't care about those things; they wouldn't help much in improving his combat power.
The key lies in studying the Dao traces within the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's body; this could inspire one to go further on the path of enlightenment.
Cao Ya had been in the Broken Tooth Mountains for some time, having defeated the floating islands and hidden worlds, seizing many valuable items. In the Realm Heart Continent, these would be at least top-tier treasures, and even supreme treasures were not unheard of. But whether suppressing the Stone Abyss Emperor or imprisoning the Nine-Tailed Great Sage, Cao Ya had no use for these treasures. He hadn't even used the two divine weapons he had forged himself.
As for him now, unless it's a Chaos Origin Divine Weapon, a Quasi-Chaos Origin Divine Weapon, or a unique cosmic spiritual object, Cao Ya is too lazy to collect any other artifacts or weapons, nor would he use them.
Fighting the enemy bare-handed is actually much easier. There's no need to worry that the divine weapon in your hand won't be able to withstand this immense magical power and will shatter directly! There's also no need to divert your power to protect the artifact.
If that's the case, then there's a problem... Is this move actually increasing or decreasing one's combat power?
However, weapons that could satisfy Cao Ya and bear the magical power of a God Emperor at the perfect level are extremely rare and precious, and in some source worlds, they simply cannot exist!
The Boundary Heart Continent and the Broken Tooth Mountain Range are indeed quite unique, but Cao Ya has not yet found a suitable target.
"Thank you, Great God of Wind and Fire." The three bowed, looking at the enormous creature in front of them with amazement.
The Nine-Tailed Great Sage is one of the "Eight Great Sages" among the low-level primordial life forms in this place.
Originally a being that looked down upon the Broken Tooth Mountain Range and instilled fear in countless living beings, it couldn't even stir up a ripple under the immense power of the Wind and Fire God.
Due to the difference in their realms, even the highest-ranking Demon Sword Venerable and Ba Tuochen are only at the "Ultimate" level, not yet at the God Emperor level. The Dao traces of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage originate from heaven and earth. If they were to directly observe them, it would likely cause them to doubt their own path, go astray, and encounter serious problems.
There's no way around it; before reaching the pinnacle of the Emperor-level divine runes, the Destruction Path and Insect Path of the "Ultimate Realm" are utterly insignificant.
How could one not be captivated by such a thing in the eyes of a spiritual practitioner? But if one is far from the truth, it can easily lead to trouble.
What suits the Nine-Tailed Monkey King may not suit them.
Partial traces of the Dao can be helpful, perhaps leading to insights and an improvement in one's own divine laws. However, complete Dao divine patterns are more likely to deviate from the Dao path, causing the subconscious to no longer value the original laws.
In particular, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's talent is inherently one of charm. Even without actively using it, the Daoist aura passively emitted during his slumber is enough to bewitch ordinary cosmic gods.
"Whoosh." The three flew away, exploring the vast floating island while healing their injuries.
"The path to enlightenment..." The Demon Sword Master glanced back, his expression filled with emotion.
By now, the cosmic gods have gained a relatively profound understanding of the path to enlightenment and the origin of all things.
But no one dares to hope to "break the law with force." Those who follow the path of enlightenment and the path of faith are few and far between. Most people, however, focus on ultimate awakening, but the probability of that is extremely slim.
Of course, the primary prerequisite is that they must have a unique bloodline and reach the highest level of royal perfection.
Now that the Broken Tooth Mountains have been explored, many are no longer simply after the resources and treasures within the floating islands. The goal is also to capture the natives and the Deathbringer race, extract a trace of the magical Primal Blood, and transplant it into their bodies.
As for lower-level Chaos Origin life forms... even the worst of them are at the Emperor level, but they don't have the ability to deal with them.
Regarding this point, the Demon Sword Master had not yet fully considered his own choice.
He wasn't in a hurry. He had only just broken through to the third level, "Ultimate," and was still far from the fourth level, "God Emperor Realm." He would make his decision when he reached the late stage of God Emperor and was at his peak.
Ba Tuochen, on the other hand, didn't think about these things at all. He would be secretly happy if he could reach the God Emperor realm.
Cultivating beings at the "God Emperor Realm" level through the path of insects and beasts is no easy task.
The "ultimate" insect beast he managed to fuse with back then had consumed countless resources from the Devouring Emperor and the Insect Ancestor! That Devouring Emperor was an "invincible being," even stronger than him now!
Moreover, Ba Tuochen was already quite satisfied with his rise from an ordinary nobody to a top expert in the Realm Heart Continent. Currently, with his lifespan seemingly endless and his survival abilities exceptionally strong, what worries did he have?
However, Dongbo Xueying, like the Demon Sword Master, was undecided.
Deep down, he wanted to emulate the God of Wind and Fire and embark on the path of enlightenment.
But this is too difficult. Dongbo Xueying asked himself, although he has excellent talent in the Void Realm Dao, Void Path, and Body Refining Stream, if he really wanted to try, he might have a little chance of breaking through to the Cosmic God Realm with some other laws and rules, but to meet more than half of the conditions... then forget it.
As for the path of faith, Dongbo Xueying did not believe that even if he created his own sect and treated people with sincerity, it would be impossible for most of the beings in a source world to be convinced.
"Breaking the law with force" is the most difficult... but for "ultimate awakening," Dongbo Xueying has neither a suitable bloodline nor a strong desire to take this path.
In the end, his thoughts were similar to those of the Demon Sword Master: it's only the second level, what's the rush?
One would only consider this issue at the mid-to-late stage of the God Emperor realm; worrying about it now is just needless anxiety.
“Although the path to enlightenment is difficult, given the circumstances of the Great God of Wind and Fire, there is a certain probability of success,” said Ba Tuochen.
"If even the God of Wind and Fire has failed, I really don't know who in this world can succeed on this path!" Dongbo Xueying shook his head.
When Cao Ya made his move, countless divine powers accompanied him, demonstrating the vast amount of laws he had comprehended.
The veteran cosmic gods on the Realm Heart Continent have indeed cultivated many laws, but none can compare with the Great God of Wind and Fire. Even Emperor Xia is far inferior to them.
"I thought the Realm Heart Continent was already teeming with experts and powerful figures, but who would have thought that the Broken Tooth Mountain Range would be even more outrageously powerful!" The Demon Sword Master sighed. Compared to these two Origin Worlds, the Chaos Void was truly insignificant.
Of course, the Demon Sword Master was also certain that the Chaotic Void was the most common source world within the Infinite Primordial Space.
Places like the Boundary Heart Continent and the Broken Tooth Mountain Range are rare.
"Haha, whether I become a Chaos Origin or not is of no concern to me. I only hope that I can reach the Divine Emperor Realm with a slim chance." Ba Tuochen laughed. "However, you two still have considerable potential. In the future, if you find any treasures related to enlightenment during your exploration, I will not take a single penny."
(
His insect beasts need all sorts of rare and precious materials to feed and grow; the kind of treasures suitable for cultivators to comprehend the laws are not important.
"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Let's do it according to contributions. Those who contribute more will be given priority."
Dongbo Xueying said that when going on a team adventure, the worst thing is uneven distribution of resources. He also didn't want to cause any conflicts with the Demon Sword Master or Ba Tuochen.
"That's alright. The three of us have different paths to the Great Dao, so the resources we need are naturally different," the Demon Sword Master said with a smile.
During their conversation, the three of them used energy to nourish their physical bodies in a strange spot on the floating island.
Only after the injuries have basically healed will they set out to venture into dangerous places and try their luck.
The floating island where the Nine-Tailed Monkey King resides must undoubtedly contain rare and precious treasures.
And the corresponding crisis will certainly not be ordinary.
Of course, the greatest danger is that the Nine-Tailed Great Sage has already been suppressed by Cao Ya.
"Haha, this is a real treasure!" Suddenly, the three burst into laughter. Although they were covered in dust and dirt, emerging from a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of billions of miles, divine light still emanated from behind them, filling the sky. Their excitement could be felt from afar.
"It's not quite a supreme treasure, it falls a bit short, but it's definitely good enough to be considered a top-tier treasure!" The Demon Sword Master exclaimed excitedly.
What is the source of the "invincible existence" on the Realm Heart Continent? First, it is the cultivation level of the third level of "Ultimate Realm". Second, it is the mastery of the supreme treasure and the ultimate secret technique, which can greatly enhance combat power!
For the Demon Sword Master, the Path of Destruction has already reached the third level, and he possesses special secret techniques, but he lacks only a supreme treasure! Otherwise, he would be an "invincible being"!
Compared to other treasures, the highest level is indeed slightly inferior, but if you have two or three of them, you can win by sheer quantity and still put up a fight.
As the second strongest member of the Cang clan in the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, the Demon Sword Master already possessed a top-tier secret treasure.
However, the clone does not carry the original body with it when it ventures here.
Now he has obtained another top-tier secret treasure... Using both together, the Demon Sword Master is confident that he will not lose to an ordinary "invincible being." Due to the strangeness of the moves, he can completely defeat a peak King-level being!
Similarly, this also significantly improved the performance of Ba Tuochen and Dongbo Xueying.
These supreme treasures, renowned throughout the Realm Heart Continent, are coveted by any cosmic god who wouldn't desire them!
For someone as powerful as the Lord of Nanyun Kingdom to reach the second level, besides having created powerful spells, the possession of top-tier secret treasures is also a key factor.
This floating island was merely a random choice made by the Nine-Tailed Great Sage. He may rest here for trillions of years before leaving.
But regardless, being valued by the Nine-Tailed Great Sage must mean he has something extraordinary about him.
There wasn't just one top-tier treasure; there were actually three or four!
"Yes, we should mainly thank the Great God of Wind and Fire for our harvest! He must be the one to choose first!" Dongbo Xueying said, and the Demon Sword Venerable and Ba Tuochen had no objections.
So, the three of them meditated and regulated their breathing for a while before flying to the center of the island to explain their purpose to Cao Ya.
Upon learning this, Cao Ya smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need, you can divide it yourselves."
"A top-tier treasure is of no use to me anymore."
In fact, Cao Ya didn't value even the most supreme treasures.
In battles at the peak of the God Emperor level, such items are not much more durable than those of ordinary True God or Void God realms. So, what use do they have for him?
If he truly had this ambition, with his abilities, he could traverse the Broken Tooth Mountain Range without fear of lacking secret treasures.
But the five supreme beings... even the eight emperors, thirteen kings, and eight saints who are one level below them, apart from some special rare items, what treasures or divine weapons have they ever cared about?
Finally, the trio bid farewell to Cao Ya, as this clone would continue to travel through this region.
However, one of Dongbo Xueying's avatars will secretly carry the ultimate treasure back to the Realm Heart Continent to prevent any unforeseen complications.
“The Way of Seduction, the Way of Lust…” Cao Ya sighed as he looked at the Nine-Tailed Great Sage’s body beside him.
After studying for so long, he had only reached the first level, and he felt that there was no chance of reaching the second level.
These two rules are simply not in line with his situation.
“Not every low-level Chaos Origin Life Form can help me reach at least one of the required laws.” Cao Ya shook his head, then suddenly chuckled.
Even after reaching a high level in the arts of seduction and lust, he was still not satisfied...
If the Void Gods knew this, they would be absolutely envious!
After awakening the Nine-Tailed Great Sage and bestowing upon him the secret technique, Cao Ya departed, leaving behind only this enormous creature. While delighted by the secret technique, it was also filled with suspicion and soon left the floating island as well.
Cao Ya then set his sights on the remaining six Great Sages.
Because of the infamous reputation of the Eight Great Sages, they acted tyrannically and seized the floating island, and even the Deathly Clan dared not offend them.
He searched for them, and without much effort, he suppressed the "Eight Great Saints" one after another, analyzed the natural Dao traces within them, and gained a great deal.
He made progress in all ten laws—the Path of Lightning, the Path of Light, the Path of Darkness, the Path of Metal, the Path of Wood, the Path of Earth, the Path of Destruction, the Path of Life, the Path of Ice Soul, and the Path of Blood—reaching the second level!
This doesn't even include things like the Bewitching Path, which is only the first level.
It must be said that the trip to the Broken Tooth Mountains, which dissected many low-level Chaos Origin life forms including the "Eight Great Saints," actually helped Cao Ya, resulting in a significant increase in his strength.
He is already in the middle stage of God Emperor.
Today, the path to enlightenment has exceeded ten laws and met the standards.
It's a lot, but compared to the myriad paths of the Origin World, it's still just a drop in the ocean.
“The road ahead is long and arduous…” Cao Ya murmured. Having chosen this path, how could he back down?
Without reaching the Seven Star level and becoming a true Primordial Life Form, one cannot say that they have reached the pinnacle of the [Snow Eagle Lord] universe!
"To become a late-stage or perfect God Emperor, the requirements for mastering the laws and rules will only become higher and higher!"
"The system of rules and mysteries makes achieving enlightenment vastly different in difficulty compared to the bloodline system!"
"Fortunately, the final result was far ahead; otherwise, who would bother to comprehend the laws and rules?!"
Cao Ya sighed. Without the system space, he really wouldn't have dared to imagine embarking on the path of enlightenment.
That's really too difficult!
During this period, the Eight Great Saints were defeated by him one after another, and the Broken Tooth Mountain Range gradually went from being shocked to becoming numb.
The reputation of "Great God of Wind and Fire" has risen again, now comparable to the Five Supreme Beings.
Many emperors and rulers were even more relieved that they had not acted out of greed.
Otherwise, under the attack of the "God of Wind and Fire", I'm afraid I would have met my end!
The cultivators all regarded the "Great God of Wind and Fire" as their role model and longed to emulate him, so they traversed the Ya Mountain Range!
At that time, won't all kinds of treasures be available for you to take as you please?
"The strongest in the history of the Realm Heart Continent, truly deserving of the title! No other cultivator has ever made such a name for themselves here!" The heroes exclaimed in admiration.
Even the so-called "invincible beings" could only feel the terror of the Wind and Fire God and could only look up to him.
However, as Cao Yawei's fame spread, hidden dangers also lurk.
Then the Great Emperor of the Northern River began to stir with ambition.
