"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...
"We've arrived at the Immortal King Battlefield!"
Cao Ya stopped his escape light, steadied himself slightly, gazed at the plane ahead, and let out a breath.
At this moment, what lay before him was an incredibly chaotic and violent primordial energy, seemingly without end.
This has also distorted the underlying rules, leaving them without any order, and they are almost capable of corrupting the mind of the Heavenly Emperor.
At the same time, the remnants of the Celestial King's will still linger in the four directions of the heavens, soaring straight into the sky, causing fear and trepidation.
This is the Immortal King Battlefield, the most dangerous place in the Upper Realm, bar none!
In fact, looking across the heavens and the earth, there is no place that can compare to the Immortal King's Battlefield!
"To make your way in this place, you must be extremely careful. No matter how strong you are, you must never be careless."
Cao Ya muttered to himself, "Even a Heavenly Monarch of fifteen or sixteen eras would be in danger if he faced the Dao traces of a Celestial King!"
Now, many years have passed since that chaotic battle.
After Cao Ya, Fang Han, Fang Qingxue, Chaos Heavenly Lord, Feng Baiyu, the Three Ancestors of the Witchcraft Path, and Night Emperor Heavenly Lord finished their discussion, they went to Ancient Witch City together. Soon after, with the great supernatural powers of Fang Han and the others, the Epoch Gate was also relocated to the Upper Realm and a top-tier city, Epoch City, was built, which also covered the three cities of the Witchcraft Path within its jurisdiction.
With this group of super giants in charge, the terrifying power of Epoch City is beyond doubt. Even the Lord of Heaven and Earth and others dare not come to provoke it.
Due to the superior environment of the Upper Realm, as well as the existence of various methods and resources, all the characters in the Epoch Gate, such as the Supreme Elders, Elders, and Disciples, have made rapid progress in their power.
Immortal Venerable Linglong, Yanshui Yi, Mi Bao, Nebula Baby, Feather Emperor, and Crimson Sea Demon Venerable are all extremely powerful. Each of them has the potential to break through ten eras, and some have even advanced!
It wasn't just them; the original giants also experienced a significant increase in their cultivation levels, making them incomparable to those of the past.
Cao Ya's cultivation level had also reached the peak of the twelfth era, but he couldn't seem to break through the final thirteenth era. It seemed that something was missing, and he couldn't break through that barrier. After his arduous cultivation yielded no results, he simply came to the Immortal King Battlefield ahead of schedule to seek opportunities.
"The situation in the Upper Realm is in a stalemate. Both sides are cultivating and no one is starting a conflict."
"Most of the other heroes have sided with the cancerous Hua Tiandu. The existence of powerful figures such as the Lord of Heaven and Earth, the Lord of Yin and Yang, the Lord of Blood, as well as the Heavenly Mother, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, the Black and White Envoys, the Treasure-Gathering Heavenly Lord, and the Supreme Heavenly Lord is quite convincing and can shake people's will."
"Only a few of them joined the Epoch Sect and became Supreme Elders."
"However, the other side is not entirely confident of victory. Furthermore, even if they do defeat the Epoch Gate, the ensuing internal strife will likely leave the major powers without confidence of ultimately winning. They can only hold back, cultivating and comprehending the Dao while observing the situation and waiting for a good opportunity."
"In most cases, they will eventually go deep into the Immortal King battlefield to fight and compete, and then the battle will end."
"After all, the Immortal King Battlefield is ferocious, but its opportunities and fortunes are also world-renowned."
"It's just that the Heavenly Lords would normally find it difficult to obtain, but with the combined forces of heroes and the blessing of the Immortal King's will... if we don't seize this opportunity to explore the Immortal King's battlefield and accumulate the foundation to become a king, when will we ever get another chance?"
Cao Ya thought to himself that he was actually holding the same mindset, hoping to discover some divine object.
"In the original timeline, the Celestial Kings, later on, all transmitted their thoughts, forcing growth and elevating the Heavenly Lords under their command."
"Of course, many had already been killed by the Epoch Gate before this."
Cao Ya guessed that the Immortal King in this timeline would not stand idly by.
Figures such as the Creation Immortal King, the Mythical Elder, the Origin Immortal King, the Truth Immortal King, and the End Saint King will all select a Heavenly Lord and remotely infuse him with magical power to help him break through his realm.
Whether there is any hope of becoming a Celestial King is no longer important. If we analyze the current Heavenly Monarchs carefully, the number of those who can become kings is actually less than a handful!
All they asked for was that these Heavenly Lords help Hua Tiandu defeat Fang Han.
As for the final fate of him... surviving is certainly good, but if he truly dies, no Celestial King will be too heartbroken. —Of course, if Hua Tian loses, that will enrage the Celestial King!
Such celestial kings, wholeheartedly supporting the reincarnation of a malignant tumor and distrusting the artifact spirit, clearly demonstrate their character.
Even loyal subordinates and personally trained disciples, when it was time to sacrifice themselves, did not hesitate for a moment.
Those Heavenly Lords, because of the Celestial King's attitude, sided with Hua Tiandu, which was a great misfortune for them.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Lords were, in the eyes of the Celestial Kings, resources to help the malignant tumor Hua Tiandu become king!
Unfortunately, the various Heavenly Lords, including powerful figures from the Creation Heavenly Court, the Origin Dynasty, the Holy Land of Truth, the Primordial Demon Sect, the Divine Race, the Buddhist Realm, the Dragon Realm, Qiankun City, and Yin-Yang City, all recognized Hua Tiandu's strength and believed that Fang Han was no match for them. In the end, the Epoch Sect would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat.
Furthermore, the harmony within the Epoch Sect camp made the other heroes uneasy. How could they not engage in some intrigue and power struggles? They couldn't help but think that this was a facade, a deliberate deception by Fang Han to mislead the Epoch Sect's powerful members. Once the Epoch Sect won, Fang Han would reveal his true colors and turn the tables on them!
But this is truly a case of the cautious judging others by their own standards. Fang Han is actually hoping that more Heavenly Monarchs will appear in the Epoch Gate. He won't hoard good things, even unique items like divine objects and ancient characters. He can take them out in ordinary times and share them with everyone to study and analyze their mysteries. In battle, he can then integrate them into his body and fight the enemy!
Unlike Hua Tiandu, who is constantly plotting schemes and scheming, his cruel thoughts are always waiting for an opportunity to erupt!
The Immortal Kings' attitudes were completely opposite. The three, including Hongmeng Daoist, would not abandon their former subordinates, disciples, or children. Fang Han would also never harm a friend.
Fang Han's ruthless decisiveness is directed at his enemies. If you don't offend him, Fang Han won't even take action against bystanders.
It can only be said that ingrained thinking will harm a group of heavenly rulers!
Some of them don't even require the Epoch Gate to attack; Hua Tiandu will seize the opportunity to devour them.
Regardless of the cost, all the Immortal Kings were happy to see Hua Tiandu's cultivation level increase.
However, due to changes in circumstances, the rise of Cao Ya, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord, was unexpected by all the kings. In addition, Fang Han's strength surpassed that of another timeline among those of the same level.
This group of celestial kings will likely protect the celestial rulers for a considerable period of time.
How could Hua Tiandu possibly achieve final victory by himself? He needs more help!
Of course, during this period, it would be fine to devour a few Heavenly Monarchs to help Hua Tiandu break through.
Although there were signs of the final catastrophe, it is quite normal for the great destruction of the final chapter to last for hundreds of millions of years on the scale of a chaotic era.
There is still ample time for all heroes to study.
"The constraints of the Gate of Immortality are weakening. Even if the Immortal Kings cannot leave their physical bodies before the Great Cataclysm, the thoughts and principles they can transmit will increase."
“In the past, it was almost just a thought, with very little influence.”
"Now, he is comparable to a Heavenly Lord of more than ten eras. There is no doubt that he will reach the fourteenth or fifteenth era, or even stronger."
Cao Ya then realized that if the energy emitted by the Celestial King was of this level, then helping certain Heavenly Monarchs reach this realm would be a natural and effortless achievement.
If there are multiple giants from the 14th or 15th century, the related threat would still be enormous.
“If it really comes to that, even the Hongmeng Daoist, the Worldly Free King Buddha, and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon cannot stand idly by.”
The enemy has a Celestial King, but we're not without one too!
Although the number was not as large, it was still an easy task to elevate a group of Heavenly Monarchs.
Those aspiring to become Immortal Kings might not accept this, but the question remains: how many Heavenly Lords can even dream of reaching the Immortal King realm?
Logically speaking, most Celestial Kings would be extremely lucky to reach the level of ten eras!
Those who have reached the 14th or 15th epoch are extremely rare, and have been exceptionally few since many epochs ago. This is evident from the fact that there have only been a handful of them in the Upper Realm so far.
Simply put, whether or not one becomes king is not something to think that far ahead; the priority is to elevate one's cultivation level first!
However, from another perspective, this is enough to illustrate how terrifying the Celestial King is!
The Celestial Kings, having exhausted their primordial essence and disregarding the future prospects and potential of the individual, were able to create multiple super giants. Who could match such magical power?
"The strongest Heavenly Ruler of our time is not the Lord of Heaven and Earth, but the one on the Immortal King Battlefield."
Cao Ya whispered, “The Lord of the Year Beasts, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Barbarian Ancestor all had cultivation levels spanning sixteen or seventeen eras. Each of them was abnormally strong!”
Behind them also stands a Celestial King, known as the "Lord of All Beasts"!
Cao Ya knew that his current strength was slightly better than that of an ordinary fifteenth-century cultivator, but he was still three points inferior to that of a sixteenth-century cultivator.
However, he is resourceful and has mastered the "Minor Destiny Technique," so even if he is no match for the enemy, he can still protect himself if he is determined to leave.
"Hoo." As Cao Ya approached the Immortal King Battlefield, the strange phenomena in this region became increasingly apparent.
Indistinctly, there seemed to be flickering figures, each one majestic and boundless, more magnificent than heaven and earth. Before them, the sun and moon were like fireflies.
But the next second, the figure disintegrated, turning into wisps of consciousness that traversed heaven and earth, disrupting the rules.
Countless laws, under the influence of some unknown force, coalesced into chains that ceaselessly danced, whipping the void and imprisoning the world.
Those who wish to venture into the Immortal King's battlefield will first and foremost face the threat of these chains of divine laws.
If it takes less than ten eras, he will die on the spot!
Even giants who have existed for more than ten eras face numerous dangers and will have to expend a massive amount of vital energy to break the chains of the laws.
Moreover, this is only the most common and ordinary anomaly within the Immortal King Battlefield.
It should be noted that some energies have formed colossal gods of law, devoid of intelligence and spirit, moving according to some kind of killing intent, wandering within the battlefield of immortal kings, unpredictable and beyond human comprehension.
Even the super giants must take such an anomaly seriously.
Throughout history, many celestial rulers have met their tragic ends here.
Therefore, the corpse of the Heavenly Emperor will also become an evil spirit, wandering in all directions and killing the living.
【Eternal Life】The universe has a hierarchy of various planes, which is quite orderly. The bottom layer consists of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the middle layer consists of the myriad realms and the Heavenly Realm, and the top layer consists of the Realm Above the Realm.
Even the realm above, rich in the energy of immortality, is extremely fragile in the battlefield of immortal kings.
You should know that throughout the three thousand eras, this place has been a battlefield where Immortal Kings fought!
The fact that this place can withstand the battles of immortal kings shows that its stability is extraordinary.
The Great Dao of the Immortal Kings is immortal and indestructible; even a few simple spells can reflect time and space and endure forever.
The traces left by their clash, even though they canceled out most of their power, still left behind enough to threaten even the giants of the Heavenly Monarch Realm.
Furthermore, throughout the three thousand eons, countless powerful Celestial Kings have perished. Before their deaths, they would delve into the Celestial King Battlefield, find the Gate of Immortality, sit facing it in meditation, yearning to comprehend the mysteries of immortality, transcend the limits of existence, and achieve complete eternity.
But it is clear that they all failed, none of them survived, but some of their energy, or some supernatural powers or magical treasures, survived to later generations, creating some peerless celestial rulers, and even influencing the birth of immortal kings!
But how could they not harbor resentment before their deaths? Such will, lingering on the battlefield of the Immortal Kings, further amplified the danger of this place, leading to the emergence of zombies and evil spirits.
Throughout countless ages, in the Great Cataclysm, only those of the highest rank, such as the Heavenly Ruler, were able to survive.
Heaven and earth, the universe, are the battlefield of the immortal kings, and thus they endure forever.
In addition, even the realms above the realms will come to an end, and will be reopened in the next era under the influence of the Gate of Immortality.
This also reveals the peculiarity of the Immortal King's Battlefield, which seems to contain the mysteries of eternity.
"Boom!" Cao Ya rushed into the Immortal King battlefield. In an instant, the violent energy swept over everything, and the mighty chains of laws rushed in from all directions, aiming at Cao Ya.
"Buzz." A layer of nine-colored light rippled from Cao Ya's body, and various mysteries overlapped, blocking the "greeting gift" from the Immortal King battlefield.
"That's incredibly powerful, no less than the full-force attack of a Celestial Monarch from eleven or twelve eras!"
Cao Ya nodded secretly. With such ferocity, it was no wonder that the overlords of the upper realms were unwilling to come here.
Even the Lord of Heaven and Earth, constantly on guard against such killings, would inevitably tire over time, suffering excessive energy depletion and becoming prone to accidents. When he occasionally entered, it was always in conjunction with the Lord of Yin and Yang and the others.
"Boom!" Before Cao Ya could even stand up, another bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky, with billions of bolts of lightning hitting him.
There was also foul air surging in another direction, forming a gourd with its mouth wide open, swallowing up the vast wilderness.
The nine-colored radiance, formed by the divine principles of reincarnation, fire, lightning, wind, sword, knife, space, and light, is unparalleled in both offense and defense.
Because the numerous anomalies are inherent to the Immortal King Battlefield, even if a true Immortal King were to emerge, they would not be able to destroy them at their root. After all, as long as this region exists, there will be no beginning and no end, and anomalies will be born forever!
Cao Ya wouldn't waste his energy on killing; he simply shielded himself with nine-colored light to defend himself.
Cao Ya moved like a fish through the battlefield of the Immortal Kings, and no matter what strange phenomena you encountered, they could not break through the nine-colored glow.
Every now and then, mountains, rivers, lakes, the sun, moon and stars would appear, all stirring up terrifying true meanings of the laws, and suddenly crashing down upon them after being stimulated by living beings.
But all of them vanished like bubbles before the nine-colored glow of the sunset.
But Cao Ya was not arrogant; on the contrary, he was very serious.
If he truly possessed the combat power of twelve eras, he would have been dead long ago.
The numerous anomalies ranged from those of lesser magnitude to those of the 10th or 11th epochs, to those of slightly greater magnitude that were comparable to those of the 12th or 13th epochs.
There are so many of them, so densely packed, and every moment there's a crisis that could erupt, it's exhausting!
In other words, Cao Ya's overall strength surpassed that of the fifteenth era, which is why he was unharmed and still had the strength to keep an eye on the situation in all directions.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more vigilant.
A barbarian covered in tattoos, exuding a domineering aura, appeared within his sensing range!
Just as he noticed the other party, the barbarian also spotted Cao Ya!
