Inside a vast, floating island, Cao Ya sat cross-legged, pondering the thousand-eyed water droplets.

"Buzz..." Beside him, the Three-Colored Flower of the Pulling Machine floated in mid-air, its petals blooming and flowing with three-colored divine light, which seemed to make the Great Dao of Destruction and Creation even more obvious and the Dharma rhythm clear.

The peculiar fluctuations spread outwards, enveloping Cao Ya and making his thoughts even more agile. Sparks of inspiration flew, and many of his previous doubts were resolved with a clear understanding, almost effortlessly.

Seizing the opportunity, Cao Ya used the momentum of "enlightenment" to penetrate the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet with his divine sense.

"Truly worthy of being a relic of the progenitor of Hunyuan!"

Suddenly, Cao Ya's consciousness "saw" an illusory world.

That world, though seemingly unreal, possessed a mesmerizing glow that constantly flickered, with pupils of various colors embedded in the eight directions of this illusory world, utterly mysterious.

It is obvious that this is one of the innate supernatural powers of the Thousand Eyes. The residual magic power manifested as "dewdrops" and also contained corresponding divine laws, enough to drive countless cultivators of the soul path crazy!

"Gray eyes represent 'psychedelic' eyes, while golden eyes represent 'annihilation'!"

"The combination of the two creates a vicious killing move that can activate a virtual world to drag the enemy's soul... Even if it's not realistic enough, such a vast plane, once utilized, is truly too powerful. It can even overwhelm a God Emperor realm cultivator, forcing them to sink into the virtual world. Whether they can remain conscious depends on the nature of their soul and their cultivation level..."

"Moreover, the Daoist aura of 'annihilation' is extremely difficult to resist when it invades!"

"Besides these two types of eyes, there are a large number of closed eyes that I have not been able to open because my understanding of the Void Realm is not profound enough."

At this moment, Cao Ya's thoughts flowed like a spring. After "observing" the mysteries inside the thousand-eyed water droplets, he gained a great deal of insight.

He has also made progress in the Void Realm Path. He is about to comprehend and begin to integrate the five profound mysteries of "World", "Soul", "Illusion", "Desire" and "Annihilation".

In fact, before this, he had already comprehended the profound mysteries of the three channels of the Void Realm Path: "World," "Soul," and "Illusion," which is why he was the first level of the Void Realm Path.

As long as "desire" and "annihilation" keep up, even if they fail to merge, they can still reach the second level.

If you fully comprehend it and achieve a harmonious unity without any omissions... without a doubt, this is the "ultimate realm" of the third level!

Due to the special nature of the Void Realm Dao, he could even complete the Path of Faith and instantly advance to a world-class Chaos Origin Life Form!

Of course, this is just wishful thinking. No one has ever been able to cultivate the Void Realm Dao to the "ultimate level" since ancient times. Dongbo Xueying will be the first in the future!

In other major principles, Cao Ya believed he was no less capable than Dongbo Xueying. In matters such as the Way of Fire, the Way of Wind, the Way of Death, and the Way of Sword, he could say without exaggeration that his realm was far ahead of Dongbo Xueying's!

But if we're just talking about the Void Realm Dao... Cao Ya has to admit that he's inferior to Dongbo Xueying.

Even Dongbo Xueying, according to the information in the original book, had reached the "ultimate" Void Dao for trillions of years. His body-refining style also improved rapidly, and he integrated various Great Dao techniques into the "ultimate" Void Dao, constantly deducing and reaching the perfection of the God Emperor realm. His power was formidable...

However, the Void Realm Dao had not yet reached the "ultimate" state... It was only in the world of despair, when faced with the intense threat of the innate chaotic life that had escaped its confinement, that it suddenly realized the truth at the critical moment of life and death, and thus transcended it!

That kind of "sudden enlightenment" is a rare and precious opportunity.

Cao Ya didn't think he had the talent of Dongbo Xueying in the Void Realm Dao. No matter how critical the situation, he probably couldn't push the Void Realm Dao to the "ultimate". He was confident in the Fire Dao and Wind Dao, but the problem was that these two laws were already at the third level.

Of course, once one has mastered and integrated all the mysteries of a great path and broken through to the "ultimate realm," one can still continue to ascend. By combining with the soul and body, and drawing upon the wonders of other laws, one can forge their own path on this great path... and even, with extraordinary talent, deduce the "Dao" at the primordial level, directly "breaking the law with force"...

The final, ultimate sublimation is extremely difficult, but the groundwork laid beforehand, though challenging, still offers hope for successful cultivation.

Otherwise, where would the God Emperor realm come from?

With the help of the Thousand-Eyed Water Drop and the Three-Colored Flower of the Pulling Machine, Cao Ya had a burst of inspiration and, after a long time, finally raised the Void Realm Dao to the second level of the Cosmic God Realm!

"Whoosh..." Cao Ya opened his eyes. The profound meaning of the five meridians of the Void Realm Dao surged around him, forming a virtual world. Due to the blessing of "illusion" and "world", ordinary universe gods could not see through it and would mistake it for a real plane.

Furthermore, due to "desire" and "soul," even the most powerful cosmic gods find it extremely difficult to resist this illusory realm and will fall into it. Ultimately, the profound meaning of "annihilation" will descend, annihilating the fallen enemy!

Of course, due to the profound nature of the Five Meridians, Cao Ya was unable to perfectly integrate them, resulting in the related techniques having a clear order of appearance. This would give experts at the Cosmic God Realm a chance to break free!

"But I'm not just in the virtual world..." Cao Ya muttered, "The Niwan Palace world is the only real one!"

Then, Cao Ya smiled slightly. He had reached the second level of the Void Realm Path, one step closer to the end of the path to enlightenment.

"Unfortunately, the magical energy contained within the snake tooth marrow bead is extremely weak, barely better than nothing, and hardly capable of causing any significant impact."

Cao Ya flipped his hand and took out the snake tooth marrow bead, his expression quite regretful.

The Broken Tooth Mountains refer to these two beads as "treasures." It's not that the natives, the Deathbringers, or lower-level Chaos Origin life forms can gain any insights from them; rather, they are the credentials for entering and exiting the Serpent Fang Corridor!

While cultivators value the Snake Fang Marrow Bead, the Thousand-Eyed Water Bead is far more precious! In fact, the rarity of both can be seen from the number of times they have appeared in the world.

Unfortunately, the path to enlightenment is almost impossible for the natives of the Broken Tooth Mountains.

“However, I still have the Three-Colored Flower of the Pivot…” Cao Ya looked up at the three-colored flower and a look of relief appeared on his face.

As a personal gift from "Yuan", the rank of the Three-Colored Flower of the Pivot needs no further explanation.

The sense of destruction and creation it contains is enough to make even a god-emperor envious!

Even if this cultivator has no talent in the corresponding laws and rules, he can still be touched by studying the Three-Colored Flower of Intrigue day and night. Even if he doesn't reach the "ultimate" or second level, he can still reach the first level.

It's clear that Cao Ya does have some talent.

Thus, Cao Ya had almost fully integrated the Path of Death, the Path of Life, the Path of Destruction, the Path of Cause and Effect, and the Body Refining Path, and was infinitely close to the "Ultimate Realm"!

“Only one step left…” Cao Ya was overjoyed. Although the requirement for the path to enlightenment was the second level, how could Cao Ya refuse if he could take it a step further?

(

The only regret is that the crucial link in the fusion of the profound laws is something that external objects cannot achieve; it can only be accomplished through personal "enlightenment."

"It was the right decision to come to the Broken Tooth Mountains this time."

Cao Ya's joy was evident to the naked eye; a large number of the Great Dao Laws had already met the required standards.

But now, the opportunities in the Broken Tooth Mountains are unlikely to be of much help to him.

"It's time to leave the Realmheart Continent and the Broken Tooth Mountains, head to the Serpent Fang Corridor, and then venture into the Thunder World! Hmm, forget about the Despair World."

In the Thunder World, in terms of the number of powerful individuals, it surpasses the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. There are dozens of God Emperors at the Perfected Realm in every era! The Five Supreme Beings are merely ordinary Perfected Realms.

It is indeed a special plane with a profound foundation. We cannot be too careless about Cao Ya's power. We still need to be cautious in our actions, but we do not need to back down. His combat power is already top-notch, and he can roam freely throughout the eight wastelands and look down on the six directions.

However, the Despair World is different. The worst are all late-stage God Emperors, and they make up a very small percentage, at most one or two percent... In other words, the majority of beings are at the peak of the God Emperor realm!

After all, it was a special world created by the Lord of Hunyuan, specifically to provide opportunities for the peak God Emperors to hone their skills. For this purpose, he also captured many naturally born high-level Hunyuan life forms from the opposing camp, imprisoned them here, and set up restrictions and rules to make these prisoners of high-level Hunyuan life forms a training ground for the heroes of his own side!

There, countless primordial worlds converge, and the pinnacle beings of countless years have gathered there—how could they be weak?!

It should be noted that the Lord of Hunyuan would regularly monitor and investigate potential threats in the Despair World to prevent the powerful prisoners from escaping and wreaking havoc, thus destroying the accumulated resources of the Origin World over countless years.

Furthermore, a God Emperor who has reached the Despair World is already a peak existence in his realm, ranking among the top few since ancient times, and perhaps even the strongest in history!

Otherwise, where would one find such an opportunity? The powerful beings of the Chaos Origin Realm would not allow an ordinary God Emperor to go to the World of Despair to die!

The most powerful among them all focus on "breaking the law with force," while the next level focuses on "the path to enlightenment" and "the path of faith." They are so confident in achieving the lowest of the four paths to enlightenment, "ultimate awakening," that they disdain even attempting it.

Cao Ya thought to himself that even if he became a late-stage God Emperor, he would never think of going to the World of Despair.

Unless one's own cultivation can reach the pinnacle of God Emperor, at which point one's overall combat strength will not be inferior to the strongest beings of all time, and even if high-level Chaos Origin life forms riot, one can still exchange blows... that's why he had the idea of ​​going on an adventure!

If one has not yet attained enlightenment by then!

"Whoosh!" Cao Ya was very fast, teleporting through the air and soon arriving at the Serpent Fang Corridor.

"This is the Serpent's Fang Corridor!"

In this void, there is a gigantic snake head, comparable in size to the entire territory of the Southern Cloud Kingdom.

On the Realm Heart Continent, the Southern Cloud Kingdom is indeed not top-tier, and cannot compare to the six ancient kingdoms. However, with the Southern Cloud Kingdom Lord, an extremely powerful second-level Cosmic God, its territory is still quite large.

And this is just a snake's head!

It is a well-known fact that the head of a snake accounts for a very small proportion of its body.

If the snake's head alone is so imposing, how long must its original body have been?

"He was also a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos. When he was alive, he was no smaller than the Thousand-Eyed Being, and he had a complete one-tenth of a Source World."

Cao Ya sighed inwardly, for there is no life form born from the primordial chaos that is not large.

"Boom..." A huge sound came from inside the snake's head. A terrifying tearing force spread around, affecting an area of ​​tens of millions of light-years. The void was distorted and all paths were in chaos.

An invisible wave pierced through his body and soul, causing Cao Ya to feel a chill run down his spine.

"If the remains of the Primordial Ancestor were not limited by 'Yuan', the sheer power emanating from them would be enough to kill a Perfected God Emperor!"

"When advanced primordial life forms arrive, they all have to take a detour. Only world-class primordial life forms and above can be risked to explore."

"Unlike now, the royal-level beings in the Broken Tooth Mountains who have obtained the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl or the Serpent Fang Marrow Pearl all have the courage and the qualifications to enter and explore."

Cao Ya sighed. Even a high-ranking Seven Star is not immortal in the [Snow Eagle Lord] universe; they too can perish due to external calamities.

Of course, this only applies to naturally born chaotic life forms. If one is a chaotic lord, then death is impossible!

"That's... the Wind and Fire God from the Realm Heart Continent?!"

In important locations like the Serpent Fang Corridor, the Five Supreme Beings would assign their subordinates to monitor the perimeter. They would promptly notify anyone who entered or exited the corridor, or of any potential anomalies that might occur within the Serpent Fang Corridor.

Because of the deeds of the God of Wind and Fire, which spread throughout the ten directions, the two supreme beings were defeated. The observers here had also heard about it and had even seen some video recordings of the battle, and they were all shocked!

How dare they approach or stop the God of Wind and Fire?!

They all kept their distance, afraid of angering the God of Wind and Fire and being slapped to death.

Even the Supreme Beings couldn't withstand it, let alone ordinary Emperor-level beings like them!

They merely relayed the message, informing the supreme authority behind the scenes.

Even if the Supreme Being Haogu, the Supreme Being Shifa, and the Supreme Being Leixiao had learned of this, how could they dare to harbor greed and come to obstruct them?

In fact, they had anticipated this scene.

It's strange that the God of Wind and Fire is only now preparing to delve into the Serpent's Fang Corridor.

"I wonder if the God of Wind and Fire will choose to leave?" the Supreme Beings speculated.

If it were them, they would be invincible in the Broken Tooth Mountains and see no hope of transcendence, so they would generally choose to leave and go on adventures in other worlds!

Right now, the evolution of my special bloodline hasn't reached the threshold of "ultimate awakening," so there's no rush. —This is also related to the fact that I haven't yet obtained the opportunities within the Serpent Fang Corridor that would be beneficial for exploring my bloodline!

"Snap." Cao Ya took out the Snake Fang Marrow Bead from the Niwan Palace world and put it in his pocket.

Those Thousand-Eyed Water Pearls can aid in cultivation according to the laws of the Void Realm and the Law of Cause and Effect, but there's no need to rush to consume them. After all, there are still the Serpent Fang Marrow Pearls, which are enough to enter and exit this dangerous place.

Without the protection of a supreme treasure, Cao Ya would be instantly killed even if he unleashed his full power.

"Whoosh." As Cao Ya approached, the snake fang marrow bead in his pocket emitted a hazy black light, covering his body and isolating him from the invisible fluctuations that could cause harm.

"The Wind and Fire God has entered the Serpent Fang Corridor!"

The observers were envious; with this adventure, the God of Wind and Fire would surely become even stronger!

"call out!"

The immense pulling force made it impossible for Cao Ya to maintain his stability. He relied on the black light of the snake tooth marrow bead to protect himself and drifted along in the dark vortex.

Cao Ya continued to look around, but unfortunately, the invisible fluctuations were too strong, shattering the Great Dao, and he found nothing.

"Buzzing..." It wasn't until half an hour later that the power of the vortex subsided.

"Snap." Cao Ya finally steadied himself and looked around. He saw a huge snake fang, like an ancient divine mountain, emanating a terrifying aura that made one's scalp tingle, far exceeding the level of a perfected God Emperor!

"This is good stuff!" Cao Ya immediately became envious.
