"You filthy creatures, worse than pigs and dogs, killing you would be too lenient," Cao Ya muttered.

Immediately, he snapped his fingers and released the energy seal on the Zhen sisters.

"Thank you so much, God of Wind and Fire." The two sisters quickly expressed their gratitude.

If it weren't for the righteous intervention of the God of Wind and Fire, they would have been truly doomed, facing a fate worse than death.

The crowd, recovering from their shock, looked at the God of Wind and Fire with eyes full of respect.

Of course, there was also fear. After all, who could remain calm in front of such a terrifying character?

The three brothers, the God Emperor of Hedong, were so arrogant and domineering. They forcibly abducted women and even threatened the Lord of Xingliu City, demanding that he offer up a thousand beautiful women for his pleasure, making them their slaves... No matter how angry the Lord of Xingliu City and the head of the Zhen family were, they could not resist and were no match for the God Emperor of Hedong and his brothers!

Then, the God of Wind and Fire appeared and instantly defeated them! This contrast was astonishing!

At the same time, no one expected that the God of Wind and Fire was actually a good person!

Cao Ya was unaware of what everyone was thinking; otherwise, he would have been speechless.

How did he become a bad person before? Even if he wasn't a good person, he wasn't a villain either.

When challenging the Lord of Dongmu City and the Lord of Jinyi City, no innocent people were harmed...

The Ninth Young Master of Dongmu City was a womanizer. Although his sins were not as great as those of the God Emperor Hedong, they were still considerable. It would be no exaggeration to say that he deserved to die!

Therefore, after defeating Lord Dongmu and obtaining the remains of Hunyuan, Cao Ya offered no reward.

His son committed heinous acts; does the father truly bear no responsibility whatsoever? Putting aside everything else, isn't the Ninth Young Master of Dongmu City's unbridled behavior precisely because the Lord of Dongmu City is his father, giving him immense backing?!

If it weren't for the fact that Lord Dongmu had no clear record of any evil deeds, Cao Ya would probably have killed him!

When the new City Lord of Golden Wing took over, Cao Ya, in addition to his victory, also gifted him an excellent method.

Cao Ya's attitude towards different opponents also varies.

In Cao Ya's eyes, even being torn to pieces wouldn't be enough to atone for the sins of people like the Crane Cave God Emperor.

However, Cao Ya's personality was such that he was too lazy to use various methods to torture them; he would just kill them on the spot, leaving them both physically and mentally destroyed.

Death is the most direct form of punishment; after all, everything ends after death, and no evil person is without fear.

Of course, people were also suddenly surprised as to why the God of Wind and Fire was still lingering.

Isn't he afraid of the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace? That's a God Emperor at the peak of his power, known for his fearsome reputation!

"Great God of Wind and Fire, you'd better leave quickly. God Emperor Hedong and the others are dead. Three of your beloved disciples have died suddenly. Palace Master Guihai must be furious. By the time he arrives, it will be too late," the City Lord of Xingliu couldn't help but remind him.

As for Starflow City... they are, after all, subordinates of Starwind City Lord, and it wasn't them who took action. Even if Ghost Sea Palace Master is dissatisfied, he wouldn't slaughter Starflow City for the sake of Starwind City Lord.

Perhaps the power of the Wind and Fire God surpasses that of the Star Wind City Lord.

However, in terms of their current status in the divine realm, the two are actually about the same.

But since the Wind and Fire God was the one who struck, no amount of face would matter to the Ghost Sea Palace Master. The Star Wind City Lord could only protect Star Stream City from the Ghost Sea Palace Master's wrath.

In the eyes of the Starflow City Lord, this was unavoidable. The Ghost Sea Palace Master, a renowned God Emperor in the God Realm, was incredibly powerful. Even if the Wind and Fire God and the Starflow City Lord joined forces, they would most likely be no match for him.

Therefore, the Lord of Starflow City hoped that the God of Wind and Fire would leave as soon as possible. Then, they would all take action to disrupt the causal order of heaven, leaving the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace with no clues to follow. By disrupting fate, the God of Wind and Fire could safely escape and avoid the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace without any danger.

“The Ghost Sea Palace Master? I’m waiting for him to come. I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t,” Cao Ya said with a smile.

"???" The City Lord of Xingliu City, the Zhen family head, the Zhen sisters, and others were all full of question marks.

What does this mean? Could it be that the God of Wind and Fire intends to challenge the Lord of the Ghost Sea Palace?!

“Great God of Wind and Fire, we cannot be careless. That Lord of Ghost Sea Palace is a big figure in the top thirty of the God Emperor Ranking. His strength is unfathomable. He has dominated the God Realm for trillions of years. Many late-stage God Emperors have been killed by him. They were no match for him at all.” Lord of Starflow City said repeatedly, afraid that Cao Ya would underestimate his opponent.

“Even a God Emperor at the peak of his power, with a bloodline system, would not be weak.” Cao Ya nodded.

For example, the five supreme beings of Broken Tooth Mountain are all top-notch experts with unparalleled power.

The Ghost Sea Palace Master is no weaker than the Supreme Haogu and the Supreme Shifa!

There's no way around it. In the Thunder World, there are three Primordial Gods who guard it and have passed down countless methods. Although they are mainly concentrated in the three royal families, some of them have been passed down over the years. Experts at the God Emperor level can collect some of them, more or less.

Furthermore, there are countless ascendants from lower planes, and quite a few of them have reached the God Emperor realm.

Even beings at the peak of the God Emperor realm have appeared in history!

Without a doubt, the methods of ascending beings are among the strongest in their class. If the native God Emperors obtain them, the improvement in their combat power will be immediate.

In contrast, there are very few God Emperors among the cultivators of the Realm Heart Continent, and they have very little contact with the Emperors of the Broken Tooth Mountains. At most, they may occasionally send clones to the floating islands to compete for opportunities and become enemies. How could they possibly engage in the trading of spells and treasures?

Therefore, the God Emperors and God Lords of the Thunder World, at the same level, are actually slightly superior to the Emperors and Kings of the Broken Tooth Mountains.

Those who cultivate and those who ascend to immortality are roughly the same level.

On the Realm Heart Continent, there are various creations left behind by "Yuan," but the number of top-tier experts is still too small, even after generations of accumulation. As for the Thunder World, the methods passed down by the Primordial Ancestral God cannot compare with "Yuan," but among the ascendants, there are many great powers, far beyond what ordinary cultivators can achieve. Even the Xia Emperor and the Undying Underworld Emperor would be considered ordinary here.

“If the Ghost Sea Palace Master comes, I’d like to test the abilities of a top expert from the God Realm,” Cao Ya said.

He added in his mind that if he had the chance, he would kill the Ghost Sea Palace Master directly!

Such a monstrous villain is a waste of air to be alive!

However, Cao Ya couldn't be sure if the opponent, being a God Emperor at the peak of the God Realm, had any special trump cards. Even with his fierce fighting power, he dared not say that he was absolutely certain he could kill him.

"..."

However, upon hearing Cao Ya's words, the Lord of Xingliu City was speechless.

Is that what he meant?

The God of Wind and Fire is far too calm. The Lord of Ghost Sea Palace is truly not to be underestimated!

"Great God of Wind and Fire, that..." The Zhen sisters were also anxious for Cao Ya and were about to speak when they were interrupted by a strange noise.

The two sisters looked up and saw a streak of light descending from the sky.

"Boom!" That power tore through the clouds, distorted space, and shook the heavens and the earth!

The Zhen sisters immediately paled. Could it be that the Palace Master of Ghost Sea Palace had arrived?

(

Lord Xingliu City, Head of the Zhen Family, and others held their breath.

The entire crowd felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of impending doom.

"They've arrived." Cao Ya scanned the area with his divine sense, smiled, nodded to the City Lord of Xingliu City, the Zhen sisters, and others, then flew up and intercepted the streak of light high in the sky.

"The Lord of Ghost Sea Palace?" Cao Ya sized up the God Emperor Yuanman opposite him, and based on the description in the "God Emperor Ranking", he basically confirmed the man's identity.

"You came quickly," Cao Ya said with a smile. He had thought he would have to wait a while longer.

In the realm of gods, due to the stability of space, traversing the void and traveling extremely long distances is extremely difficult.

Only some ascendants of the Void Path, Light Path, and Lightning Path, and those who have reached the late stage of God Emperor, can do this.

However, the God Realm is vast, with countless powerful beings and experts, and all sorts of bloodlines and talents, so it wouldn't be surprising if a native God Emperor, by chance, developed such a divine ability.

How could something derived from the bloodline of the three Primordial Gods be inferior?

Even if one cannot perfectly inherit the essence of the Chaos Origin, even if one only possesses a portion of it, if one can delve deeper, one can still roam the God Realm and be invincible.

Advanced Chaos Origin Life Forms are simply inferior to World-Class Chaos Origin Life Forms and Chaos Origin Lords.

As a powerful figure at the initial level of the seventh star, his related characteristics are quite extraordinary.

Of course, native God Emperors possessing such innate divine abilities are very rare, numbering only a handful. Therefore, their status is extremely high, and coupled with their late-stage God Emperor combat power… even a fully-fledged God Emperor could defeat them, but killing them would be virtually impossible. Sensing danger, they would immediately flee, and even a fully-fledged God Emperor would generally be unable to catch them.

Moreover, the unique ability to travel over extremely long distances is of strategic significance in the realm of gods.

The reason why Lord Xingfeng City holds such a high position is precisely because of this.

The "Starlight Travel" supernatural ability unearthed from his innate bloodline is a kind of powerful ability similar to teleportation.

Cao Ya possesses the Void Path, the Light Path, the Lightning Path, the Fire Path, and many other spells. After initially adapting to the environment of the God Realm, he is capable of achieving this.

However, it is clear that even the Ghost Sea Palace Master, who is at the peak of the God Emperor realm, cannot teleport.

Meanwhile, the God Emperor Hedong and his group are committing all sorts of evil deeds in Xingliu City. If the City Lord of Xingfeng finds out, will he have a good attitude? At most, he will be mindful of the existence of the Palace Master of Guihai Palace and will not be able to take action, but he will definitely not help the Palace Master of Guihai Palace.

They can only rely on flying. No matter how strong the Ghost Sea Palace Master is, the God Realm is so vast that it will take a long time to reach Starflow City.

But he arrived at Starflow City so quickly... There is only one explanation: the Ghost Sea Palace Master was nearby and was able to detect his disciple's death and come to investigate immediately!

Divine senses might not be able to cover it, but as a God Emperor with such a high realm, even if he doesn't have a bloodline like the Dao of Cause and Effect or the Dao of Destiny, he would naturally have some kind of causal connection. When the causal connection between his disciple and himself suddenly disappeared, how could the Ghost Sea Palace Master not be moved?

Furthermore, it's well-known in the God Realm that the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace is extremely protective of his own, so anyone can deduce his subsequent actions.

"You are... the God of Wind and Fire?!" The Ghost Sea Palace Master narrowed his eyes and recognized Cao Ya.

"It seems that the deaths of my three apprentices were your doing."

The Ghost Sea Palace Master's face turned cold, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. He said, "You think that just because you defeated City Lord Dongmu and City Lord Jinyi, you're qualified to fight me?"

Cao Ya shook his head and corrected, "No, you're wrong. It's not about fighting you, it's about... killing you!"

The Ghost Sea Palace Master's face grew increasingly gloomy. These words were practically mocking him, a God Emperor at the peak of his power!

The crowd below, including the City Lord of Xingliu City, the Zhen family head, and the Zhen sisters, were all stunned.

The God of Wind and Fire, are you really that reckless?

Facing a God Emperor at the peak of his power, he didn't back down at all! Isn't that a bit too confident?

Everyone knows that on the God Emperor Ranking, the difference between the top thirty and those after them is like heaven and earth!

"Buzz..." Just then, a passage suddenly took shape, filled with starlight that spread in all directions, and a chubby man wearing loose robes walked out.

This person has a unique horn on their forehead that emits a strange starlight.

"Lord of Starwind City." The Palace Master of Ghost Sea's pupils contracted slightly. Was he also here to intercept me?

Soon, the Ghost Sea Palace Master sneered inwardly. What did he think a Perfected God Emperor was? Even two of them working together at the late stage of God Emperor wouldn't be able to withstand him!

"Lord of Ghost Sea Palace, Great God of Wind and Fire." Lord Xingfeng City cupped his hands in greeting.

He glanced down at Starflow City, and knowing what had happened, a hint of anger flashed across his kind face.

The actions of God Emperor Hedong and the others were a complete slap in his face!

Did they really think they could act recklessly just because they had the backing of the Ghost Sea Palace Master? It was so satisfying to see them killed by the God of Wind and Fire; they deserved it!

The people of Starflow City breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw the City Lord of Starwind.

Our leader has arrived; I can finally relax completely.

"Lord of the City, the God of Wind and Fire..." Lord Xingliu City transmitted his voice to inform Lord Xingfeng City of the latest developments and pleaded for Lord Xingfeng City's assistance for the God of Wind and Fire.

In this kind of battle, he, an ordinary mid-stage God Emperor who can't even make it onto the God Emperor Ranking, certainly doesn't have the qualifications to intervene.

But Lord Xingfeng City is different; he is fully capable of intervening in this battle.

"Rest assured, I have done a great favor for both you and Starflow City. I will not stand idly by and watch the God of Wind and Fire perish," replied the Lord of Starwind City, showing great admiration for the God of Wind and Fire.

The Ghost Sea Palace Master scrutinized them and said coldly, "You two, come at me together. I'll show you just how powerful the Perfected God Emperor realm really is."

"Don't think that just because you're an ascendant or have some strange supernatural powers, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

"You guys? Heh, you're far from it!"

“Perfect, I’ll use your corpses to pay tribute to my three disciples.”

The Ghost Sea Palace Master's face was extremely sinister.

The Lord of Starwind City looked solemn. If he were alone, he would have turned around and left without saying a word. After all, with "Starlight Travel," the speed of the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace was not as fast as his, and he could escape.

But with the God of Wind and Fire also present, the two of them joining forces offer a glimmer of hope for a comeback...

The Wind and Fire God's record is quite formidable; even the Golden Wing City Lord, who was originally ranked thirty-ninth but has now fallen to fortieth, is no match for him...

Lord Xingfeng estimated that his alliance with the God of Wind and Fire might still be unable to defeat the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace, and might even be at a disadvantage, but they could still manage to entangle and maneuver.

However, Cao Ya's next telepathic message greatly surprised the Starwind City Lord.

"Lord Xingfeng, I'm entrusting Xingliu City to your care. Don't let it be affected by the battle and destroyed."

"As for the Ghost Sea Palace Master, I can handle that alone."

"I didn't leave; I was just waiting for him."

"I just don't feel right if I don't kill this kind of big devil."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Starwind City was taken aback.

The God of Wind and Fire actually thought he could kill the Lord of Ghost Sea Palace in a one-on-one fight?

Isn't this... a bit arrogant?
