Although the scene of two super-powerful beings from the Seventeenth Era and the past universe about to take action is a major event that no enlightened being would want to miss!

The reputation of the master of the Miro Palace was so great that it shook all eras, and even the people of the Seventeenth Era could not imagine it!

Basically, apart from the people from Yankang Heavenly Court, and the Seven Princes Chaos, Taiyi, and Ling Tianzun, everyone else favored the master of Mi Luo Palace!

However, Cao Ya Tianzun allowed the master of the Mi Luo Palace to make the first move, seemingly with complete confidence...

Undoubtedly, this has upset many people.

Indeed, Cao Yatianzun had already instantly killed the Third Young Master Ling Xiao and the Lord of Tiandu, demonstrating his immense power.

But it's absolutely impossible for them to defeat the master of the Miro Palace!

The powerful figures of the Miro Palace all revered and admired the master of the Miro Palace to the extreme.

The eldest son, Taishang; the fourth son, Zixiao; the sixth son, Zhanji; and the second son, Wuji, etc.

Those Daoists who survived the attack alongside the Third Young Master Lingxiao and remained in Yujing City were also hoping that the Master of Mi Luo Palace would defeat the overly arrogant Cao Ya Tianzun!

Even the heroes of the World Tree faction, such as the Boundless Elder, shared the same thought.

Even though they had established their own independent business, they still held the power and magnanimity of the master of the Mi Luo Palace in awe.

"Let's start the fight!" As for Ling Tianzun within the Seventh Era, his eyes sparkled as he watched the duel between these two greatest figures of all time, seeking to be moved by their extraordinary abilities.

"This is the first battle in the sky and on the ground." Taiyi watched with great interest.

He was eager to know just how powerful the master of the Miro Palace truly was!

"Please." At the summit of the Seventh Era's vast sky, Cao Ya smiled.

"Then I shall respectfully comply." The master of Miro Palace glanced at Cao Ya and nodded with a smile.

It is precisely because he is strong enough that he can more deeply appreciate that Cao Ya's power is unfathomable.

Perhaps he wasn't arrogant after all? Perhaps he actually possessed the corresponding power?

The master of the Miro Palace suddenly became serious. His body seemed to be a cosmic god. Although his size had not changed, it gave people the feeling that he was filling the entire universe!

"Boom..." At the same time, the Chaos River rippled, and for a full fifteen epochs, the figure of the master of the Mi Luo Palace appeared, his Dao Fruit hanging high, surrounded by the light of laws, sacred and inviolable.

Even in the sixteenth era, which had already transformed into the Dao, there was still a Dao Tree that shone brightly!

From the very beginning, the master of the Miro Palace mobilized all the magical power accumulated over the sixteenth century!

This level of attention also greatly surprised the experts watching the match.

Even the young masters and the old man Wuya had never seen the master of Mi Luo Palace go all out!

But at this moment, facing Cao Yatian, the number one person in the past universe, he held nothing back!

"Moreover, the teacher has actually completely transcended the River of Chaos???"

The Fourth Young Master, Zi Xiao, couldn't help but tremble.

Can such magical power save those who perished in the great calamity?

But thinking of the demise of the First Age, which the teacher was powerless to prevent, he couldn't help but feel saddened.

If he can't even accomplish such a feat with magical powers, then what makes him worthy of it...?

The Fourth Prince Zixiao knew that in swordsmanship, before the rise of Cao Yatianzun, he was unparalleled throughout history and even surpassed the master of Mi Luo Palace in this aspect. However, overall, he was still far inferior and had almost no hope of catching up!

Even the master of the Miro Palace was helpless; how could he possibly accomplish such a feat?!

At this moment, the Fourth Prince Zixiao was utterly heartbroken.

“Teacher…” The eldest son, Taishang, was in tears. He had witnessed his mentor’s death and was filled with despair. Now that he had seen his mentor again, how could he not burst into tears?

The Second Young Master Wuji at the bottom of Guixu had a complicated expression.

The sixth young master Zhanji and the seventh young master Hun Dun were equally filled with sighs.

The Fifth Prince Wuzong, who had returned to the thirteenth era of his family's birth, also watched from afar.

"Teacher, why did you choose to become a Daoist? With your abilities, even if we all died, you could still live on in this world!"

On the battlefield of the Seventh Era, the master of the Miro Palace gathered the power of all his bodies, becoming incomparably powerful!

He exuded an aura of being untouched by evil and untainted by calamity.

Neither the cataclysmic destruction nor the cataclysmic creation can harm him in the slightest!

In fact, people can't help but wonder if the master of the Miro Palace, if he only seeks to protect himself, is even the ultimate coldness unable to do anything to him.

Of course, the master of the Mi Luo Palace had a heart that encompassed the world, but he couldn't save all living beings. There was no point in him living alone, so he might as well die.

"Wow, that's really powerful." Cao Ya exclaimed in admiration as he sensed the waves of energy.

At this moment, the master of the Miro Palace can be said to have surpassed the advanced level of six stars and reached the peak level of six stars!

In the cosmic war of [The Legend of the Shepherd God], an ordinary peak six-star might not be a match for him!

In each era, the master of the Miro Palace cultivated to the pinnacle.

Even on certain paths, he will be surpassed by others.

The advantages of the master of the Miro Palace will only increase!

"Buzz." A ring of nine-colored light surged around Cao Ya's body.

Unlike when facing the Third Young Master Ling Xiao and the Lord of Tiandu, he did not simply attack with his fists and palms.

Cao Ya unusually used his "three heads and six arms" supernatural powers, and his different hands performed different spells while he chanted different incantations.

"Boom!!!" The paths of flame, lightning, wind, light, reincarnation, void, sword, and saber all roared, echoing through the sky.

Those profound mysteries of the Dao, stretching across the sky of the Seventh Era, suppressed all laws and rules!

The tyrannical power of Tiandu City proved utterly ineffective against Cao Ya's profound wisdom.

Even the Chaos River seemed unable to contain Cao Ya's various secret techniques!

This is under the premise that Cao Ya did not activate many of his great supernatural powers!

He didn't activate worlds like the Niwan Palace or the Void Realm, otherwise, he was really worried that they would collapse the Chaos River and shatter the sixteenth-century universe!

"Boom..." The energy collided, and the profound mysteries of the Dao were invincible, actually breaking all the spells of the master of the Mi Luo Palace.

"Squeak." The Chaos River, including the Seventh Era universe, trembled and teetered on the brink of destruction.

Nine-colored rays of light rose, covering all directions, encompassing all time and space.

Soon, the energy of the master of the Miro Palace was completely crushed.

The rosy dawn washed over the world, cleansing everything, causing all things to lament, and even heaven and earth were forced to submit.

"So many Dao principles!" The master of the Mi Luo Palace exclaimed in astonishment. The Dao principles that Cao Ya Tianzun held were actually far more numerous than his own!

You must know, he's an ancient being who has cultivated for a full sixteen epochs!

Furthermore, many of the Dao principles activated by Venerable Cao Ya created an atmosphere and a powerful, unparalleled aura that surpassed any Daoist in the world!

For example, in swordsmanship, even the Fourth Prince Zixiao is completely inferior to Cao Yatianzun!

It wasn't just the master of the Mi Luo Palace; it was a phenomenon that had occurred to numerous masters since the beginning of the ages!

"Wasn't Cao Yatian's performance... a little too outrageous?!"

The enlightened ones could hardly believe it; the master of the Mi Luo Palace, despite his best efforts, was still easily defeated by Cao Ya Tianzun.

"Impossible!" The eldest son, Taishang, the second son, Wuji, the fourth son, Zixiao, the fifth son, Wuzong, the sixth son, Zhanji, and even the seventh son, Hun Dun, were all shocked!

"Is that really the master of the Mi Luo Palace?" The old man Wuya, Taiyi, and others were equally dumbfounded. They couldn't help but wonder if the master of the Mi Luo Palace was an imposter.

But that vast, boundless energy was also real and tangible...

Ling Tianzun, along with the people of the Yan Kang Heavenly Court from the seventeenth era, fared slightly better.

To be honest, they were still quite surprised, never expecting that Cao Yatianzun's strength was so terrifying!

"Even at the peak of six stars, there's still a gap," Cao Ya muttered to himself.

In the universes of [Snow Eagle Lord], [Eternal Life], and [World of Immortality], he has killed quite a few peak six-star beings.

After all, its overall combat strength is already at the peak of six stars, infinitely close to the initial level of seven stars!

Even if a powerful figure at the initial stage of the seventh star were to descend, they would not be instantly killed.

Of course, there was no way to protect oneself or run away.

The Seven Stars, at the initial stage, grasp cause and effect, reverse yin and yang, trample on the order of all things, and possess boundless divine power.

Even the strongest six-star peak is no match for the weakest seven-star beginner!

"In fact, if I had the strength of a seventh-level initial stage, I wouldn't need to take these measures, nor would I need to leave projections in various prehistoric eras."

"Being in the seventeenth era, I can completely reshape the cosmic order according to my will, and even if the previous sixteen eras are erased, it will have no effect."

"No one will even remember this!"

Thinking of those supreme supernatural powers at the seventh level in the vast universe, Cao Ya was filled with emotion.

"Cao Ya, you have won." The master of the Mi Luo Palace dispersed much of his magical power, looked at Cao Ya, and smiled broadly.

He was not angry or resentful at losing to Cao Ya; on the contrary, he was delighted.

Because this proves that he is not the greatest of all time, and that there are people who are even stronger than him!

Perhaps, what he cannot solve, Cao Yatianzun can?

"The future is uncertain, Master of the Miro Palace. After you survived the destruction and creation of the sixteenth era, you have calculated the development of the seventeenth era and know about the existence of ultimate desolation, but you don't need to worry about it at all."

"Perhaps, another master will emerge, which can delay the arrival of ultimate desolation."

Cao Ya didn't mention himself. In the original timeline, Qin Mu, after achieving enlightenment through chaos, had a way to deal with Ultimate Loneliness.

Qin Mu's actions, along with those of Ling Tianzun and Taiyi, exceeded the predictions of the Mi Luo Palace Master.

"In this world, the future and the past are connected by the Chaos River, which is much less restrictive than the River of Time."

Thinking of the time constraints of other universes, Cao Ya couldn't help but sigh.

To achieve what the [Shepherd of Gods] universe can do, a five- or six-star Dao cultivator can traverse the Chaos River and interfere with the past and future... In other universes, even a peak six-star cultivator is somewhat lacking, and in some worlds, even a seven-star beginner might not be able to do it!

Of course, different universes have different underlying rules, so generalizations cannot be made.

“What you say makes sense.” The master of the Miro Palace was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He was too confident in his own magic.

A simple example is Cao Yatianzun, a character who was not originally anticipated.

"Do you have any solutions for ultimate desolation?" the master of the Miro Palace couldn't help but ask again.

Cao Ya smiled slightly, without giving a direct answer, but instead left a projection in the Seventh Era, while his true self continued to advance.

The master of the Miro Palace glanced at the projection, but was still somewhat puzzled.

"Phew." So he simply followed after them.

In any case, given his level of attainment, having transcended the River of Chaos, he was already unrestricted.

"Cao Yatian Venerable, you can do it..."

Those who attained enlightenment throughout history watched intently, their hearts pounding in their throats.

If even the strongest of the two previous leaders couldn't defeat Ultimate Loneliness...

That basically means the end of the 17th-century universe is inevitable. There's no need for everyone to scheme against each other anymore; it's better to just slit our throats on the spot and be done with it.

"We must succeed!" The heroes of Yankang Heavenly Court held their breath.

Taiyi and Lingtianzun also followed with their gazes, filled with anticipation.

Afterwards, Cao Ya passed through the Fifth, Fourth, Third, and Second Periods, leaving behind a phantom image.

"The first great calamity," Cao Ya murmured. If, starting from the second era, multiple Dao-attaining beings survived in each era, then in the entire first era, only the master of the Mi Luo Palace survived!

"It's all my fault. I miscalculated and didn't expect the Creation Tribulation." The master of the Mi Luo Palace stood to the side, his face bitter.

In the later part of the First Period, the signs of the Great Calamity became increasingly apparent.

Under the leadership of the master of the Miro Palace, the masters of the First Era forged the treasured Golden Ship to save all living beings of the era and allow them to live into the next life.

And indeed, the cataclysmic destruction was overcome. Just as people were feeling relieved and happy, the cataclysmic creation that followed destroyed everything!

Having witnessed the destruction of all living beings in the First Era, the master of the Mi Luo Palace had his Dao heart shattered.

If he could overcome the cataclysmic destruction, see the existence of the cataclysmic creation, be prepared, and use all his methods to reinforce the golden ship for crossing the world, perhaps people wouldn't have to die.

Later, during the flourishing of all things in the Second Era, the master of the Mi Luo Palace rebuilt his Dao heart and vowed to save all living beings in heaven and earth!

However, through successive eras, he built the Jade Capital City and passed down various Taoist methods, but he could only save those who had attained enlightenment.

Countless lives were still lost.

Until the end of the sixteenth era, he perceived the ultimate desolation and utter despair. His Dao heart collapsed for the second time and could no longer be rebuilt. He directly transformed into the Dao and fell into self-annihilation.

"The final step... Let's go, let's go to your time and take a look."

As Cao Ya spoke, he transcended time and space, arriving at the First Era.

"Wow." The master of the Miro Palace, who had come to the first life with him, was overcome with grief the moment he looked up and began coughing up blood.

Cao Ya looked out and sighed.

All that could be seen was a boundless golden ship, stretching across the depths of nothingness, devoid of any life.

On that golden ship, layers upon layers of dimensional space, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, contained an entire universe!

That was the golden ship that the master of the Miro Palace personally built to ferry people across the world, carrying all living beings of the First Era.

At this moment, the ship was littered with corpses, and countless alternate dimensions were completely silent, without a single sound.

It is no exaggeration to say that this ship is the graveyard of an era.

"My resolve is not firm enough; I apologize for making you laugh." The master of the Mi Luo Palace gazed at the golden ship that ferry people across the world, his eyes filled with tears.

"He is loyal and righteous, a true role model for us all!" Cao Ya praised, his body swaying as a projection appeared.

The master of the Miro Palace no longer paid attention to Cao Ya's actions; he only looked at the golden ship with a sorrowful expression.

His strength was enough to traverse the calamities of birth and death. The reason he hadn't returned to the First Era was because he knew he couldn't salvage anything!

All they could do was help future generations avoid calamities, but unfortunately, they ultimately failed.

"Um?"

Suddenly, the master of the Miro Palace noticed the strange thing next to him and came back to his senses.

"What is this...?" The master of the Miro Palace stared at him and was immediately stunned.
