"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...
"Lord Ketu, you have gone too far!" Daoist Taixu said sternly. His Void Divine Eye trembled violently, releasing boundless magical energy that enveloped the void. Wherever it passed, all things collapsed and perished.
"Buzz." The divine mirror of Daoist Chixia also flickered with dense immortal patterns, reflecting the world and reflecting all kinds of magic.
"Bang!" The Spirit Jade charged forward with even greater force, causing the vast Niwan Palace world to tremble.
The combined power of the three peak-level weak saints, unleashed in a fit of rage, is unimaginable!
In the primordial world of the Three Realms, unless a true Primordial Chaos descends to earth, even the strongest weak saint would have to give way.
However, their opponent was Cao Ya, the Star Lord of Jidu!
"Whoosh." Cao Ya was solemn and would not underestimate the three people. He activated all the magic power in his body and it burst forth, sweeping across the universe.
Countless mysteries ravaged the world, light and darkness intertwined, wind and fire echoed each other, thunder and lightning roared, life and death permeated, and time and space manifested!
The immortals and demons from all directions witnessed a deafening collision that shattered the heavens, leaving them utterly shocked!
In an instant, indescribable magical power filled the starry sea, as if the heavens and earth had been created.
Even peak Quasi-Saints would die instantly if they fell into it!
Even those weak saints felt their eyes twitch, sensing the threat of death!
"Not bad." Even the true Hunyuan cultivators were quite amazed.
"Ah!!!" The Taoist Taixu, the Taoist Chixia, and the Spirit Jade roared in anger.
They were either wounded and coughing up blood, or their bodies cracked open, with fissures spreading and divine light bursting forth.
They looked at Cao Ya, the Star Lord of Jidu, with expressions of utter disbelief.
What kind of strength does that give him the ability to fight three opponents single-handedly and severely injure them all?!
"Cough." Of course, facing three weak saints at their limits, Cao Ya was also injured and bled.
However, his injuries were not as severe as those of the other three. Moreover, with the transformation of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, flames rose, and the energy stored in his Niwan Palace world was consumed, allowing him to recover immediately.
Having observed this scene with their divine senses, not to mention the other phoenixes and vermilion birds, even Wang Xifeng, who was in the midst of a great battle, was secretly astonished.
When it comes to the profound meaning of the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes, even she, a genuine reincarnation of a phoenix, is no match for Lord Ketu... well, she is an ice phoenix, not a fire phoenix...
In fact, not only Wang Xifeng, but Shi Xiangyun was also very surprised.
"Lord Ketu actually possesses the great supernatural powers of the Qilin?"
Many of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques from the Perfect World universe share similarities with the divine beasts and chaotic creatures of the Primordial universe.
For example, Kunpeng, Zhenlong, Zhenhuang, Qilin, etc.
Of course, such mythical beasts can be found in many universes, so it's not surprising.
However, the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques are all extremely powerful. Even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor at the peak of the Six-Star level in the Perfect World universe would use them and regard them as treasures.
Even a seven-star Immortal Emperor would use the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques as a powerful offensive divine power!
If transferred to the [Primordial Era], it would be a supreme technique at the level of a weak saint or a true primordial being!
Among the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Kunpeng Clan, and others, the number of true Primordial Chaos beings born throughout history is extremely limited, and there are even fewer weak Saints.
Therefore, people were naturally quite astonished by this.
"It seems you can't kill me." Cao Ya muttered to himself. His defensive power was among the top at the peak of the six-star level. After all, there were so many extraordinary systems, and quite a few of them were proficient in defense. Over time, they became even stronger to an unbelievable degree!
"Boom!!" Cao Ya unleashed all his great supernatural powers, single-handedly blasting away the three powerful figures, causing Taixu Daoist, Chixia Daoist, and Tongling Baoyu to gradually fall into a disadvantageous position.
Undoubtedly, the scale of this battle shocked all the gods, immortals, demons, and monsters in heaven and on earth.
"Lord Ketu..."
Countless monks were dumbfounded.
"Lord Ketu, you are indeed excellent." Even the Primordial Saints in various Daoist temples clapped their hands in praise.
However, the Queen Mother of Heaven frowned, sensing something ominous.
The Queen Mother of the West did not interfere much with the plans of the four powerful figures, but she was not completely unaware of them either.
Now it seems that it's going to fall through.
"Sun Wukong, Cao Ya..." The Queen Mother sighed inwardly. These two were the most outstanding beings in the primordial world over countless eons. Throughout history, they had illustrious reputations, yet they were also incredibly powerful and terrifying!
"Erlang, he probably won't agree to take action to stop Jidu Xingjun."
The Queen Mother knew that Yang Jian must have his own reasons for siding with her, but as long as it didn't affect her overall situation, and considering Yang Jian's strength, she could accept it.
However, Yang Jian's willingness to perform certain tasks for her does not mean he will get involved in this battle.
"Given Erlang's temperament, now that he knows about the plans of the Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin, he must feel some disgust towards his uncle." The Queen Mother shook her head, continued to pay attention, and did not send any further messages to Yang Jian.
In the southwest of the celestial realm, at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, in the temple of the True Lord of the Pure Source Wonderful Way, Yang Jian was also gazing into the distance, his expression serene.
"The monkey and Cao Ya, most likely, can hold off those four," Yang Jian murmured.
Within his body, the three-pointed double-edged spear was stirring restlessly, eager to break free and strike the powerful being who manipulated the fate of others!
Even though the Jade Emperor was his uncle, Yang Jian didn't have much affection for him. After all, the hardships he endured to split the mountain to save his mother were truly shocking.
Moreover, given Yang Jian's character, how could he possibly approve of the schemes of the Jade Emperor and his three companions?
However, for the sake of his plan, Yang Jian still needs to be patient and cannot be as free and unrestrained as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven or the Star Lord Ketu, enjoying the carefree life of immortals.
"Sun Wukong will not lose to the Great Heavenly Venerable. And Cao Ya will certainly not be defeated by those three!" Yang Jian thought to himself. As the strongest disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court's God of Justice, his prestige was earned through bloodshed in the prehistoric world, and he certainly had this much knowledge.
In particular, he knew very well how terrifying the fighting power of beings like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Star Lord Ketu was; it was no exaggeration to say that they could defeat even stronger opponents!
"Clang!!" Sure enough, the Ruyi Jingu Bang spun like lightning. Under Sun Wukong's command, it was like an ancient weapon of mass destruction. No matter how weak a saint was, he would die if he was touched or grazed.
"Boom..." The Jade Emperor's Palace and the Primordial Imperial Seal, two first-class spiritual treasures, were summoned by the Jade Emperor and traversed the sky to block the Ruyi Jingu Bang, resulting in a fierce collision.
Although the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) was left behind by Yu the Great to stabilize the sea, in terms of its true nature, it is definitely inferior to a first-class spiritual treasure.
However, as Sun Wukong progressed, the Golden Cudgel also evolved, gradually becoming a second-class spiritual treasure. Now, it is even a first-class spiritual treasure, on par with the Jade Emperor's Palace, the Primordial Imperial Seal, and the Crown of the Heavenly Emperor of Ten Thousand Gods.
Even so, Sun Wukong only possessed one first-class spiritual treasure.
On the Jade Emperor's side, there were three of the most powerful treasures!
Furthermore, both of them were at the first level of the newly advanced Primordial Saint Realm...
Logically, with two more powerful magical treasures, the Jade Emperor should have been able to defeat Sun Wukong and achieve victory. However, the reality did not unfold as many people had imagined.
"Boom." The aftershocks of the battle spread, destroying patches of starry sky, plunging them into eternal silence.
However, the Jade Emperor's Palace and the Primordial Seal, which were used by the Great Heavenly Venerable, were all forcefully suppressed by Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel!
The golden light was dazzling and boundless, overshadowing the power of the divine imperial aura and the immortal emperor's aura.
If the Jade Emperor were not a saint of the immortal path, a great emperor of the divine path, and possessed the Crown of the Heavenly Emperor of Ten Thousand Gods for protection... he would probably have been utterly defeated by that staff!
The combat power that Sun Wukong displayed was simply astonishing, basically no less than that of a second-level Hunyuan Saint!
It should be noted that the Jade Emperor's strength is among the best in the first tier.
At the very least, figures like the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Styx Taoist, Zhen Yuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and Zhu Jiuyin knew they were no match for the Jade Emperor.
In other words, if they were to face Sun Wukong, they would have an 80-90% chance of losing.
"What a magnificent Great Sage Equaling Heaven! What a Victorious Fighting Buddha!" praised Demon Master Kunpeng.
As the first Kunpeng divine beast after the creation of the world, the Demon Master's cultivation was extremely profound. In ancient times, he was already a weak saint, and later, he even broke through to the saint realm!
This also gave the Demon Master the confidence to go independent and ignore Donghuang Taiyi and Demon Emperor Dijun.
The demon master was aware of the birth of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, but did not pay much attention to it.
Are such naturally born creatures rare in this primordial wilderness?
Unexpectedly, the speed of the rise of that intelligent stone monkey was beyond imagination, and now it has even taken the lead over him!
"The titles of Qitian and Douzhansheng are well-deserved," the Demon Master exclaimed, noting that Sun Wukong's growth was even more impressive than that of Donghuang Taiyi!
Even though Donghuang Taiyi is currently already a second-level sage.
But how many years did it take for Donghuang Taiyi to cross from the first level to the second?
Several eras!
The Demon Emperor Di Jun, having perished once, is stuck at the first level and has no hope of taking the second step. Compared to him, he only has a little more accumulation. In a real fight, the Demon Master is not afraid of Di Jun.
As for Donghuang Taiyi... the speed of the Kunpeng surpasses light, and time and space are no longer a constraint!
If you can't defeat Donghuang, does that mean you can't escape?
The Demon Master asked himself honestly, if he were to fight Sun Wukong... it would be like facing the Eastern Emperor directly. Fleeing would be the only option!
"Even among those at the Hunyuan realm, there are differences." The Demon Master sighed. The Hunyuan Saint Realm has three levels, and each level of advancement is far more arduous than the journey from a mortal to a Great Luo, or from a Great Luo to a Weak Saint.
Therefore, counting from before the creation of the world, from the Chaos God to the Dragon-Han First Tribulation, the Lich Tribulation, the Investiture of the Gods, and so on, there have actually been quite a few Primordial Chaos beings, but most of them are only at the first level.
Those who have broken through to the second level are few and far between. Even the Supreme Lord of Morality, the Primordial Lord of Heaven, the Master of Heaven, the Guide of the Way, the Buddha, and Nuwa have reached this realm.
The third level consists of fewer than five beings, including Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and the Chaos Divine Tree.
The demon master thought to himself that with his abilities, becoming a saint had exhausted his talents, and for him to make further progress in the Primordial Chaos Realm was nothing but a pipe dream.
Therefore, they were so amazed and deeply admired the performance of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
After all, the Jade Emperor also had the blessing of a divine imperial throne, which was appointed by the Dao Ancestor and not obtained by the Jade Emperor through personal alliances and maneuvering. Compared with Sun Wukong's breakthrough in cultivation, the difficulty was naturally incomparable.
"Sun Wukong, this monkey is quite formidable."
Deep within the sea of blood, the Styx Daoist stroked the Abi Yuantu swords, a flash of blood-red light in his eyes.
"Hehe, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, in terms of strength, surpasses Zhunti Daoist and Wutian Buddha, and is only below Jieyin Daoist and Tathagata Buddha."
"Within the Buddhist community, that monkey, though an outsider, has already made it into the top three!"
"Unlike the Buddha Tathagata and the Buddha Wutian, who opened up their own path and established a separate Buddhist sect after becoming saints."
The Styx Daoist pondered, if Sun Wukong had advanced to the second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm...
"This step is too difficult." Daoist Styx sighed softly. Only after becoming a saint can one truly understand the difficulty of Hunyuan cultivation.
In the Wuzhuang Temple in the Earthly Immortal Realm and Southern Continent, Zhen Yuanzi, a first-level saint, Hongyun Daoren, a weak saint, and many immortals and gods from the Wanshou Mountain lineage were all watching the battle in all directions.
None of the warring parties diverted their troubles eastward, affecting the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.
"The Jade Emperor and the others are indeed unkind," Hongyun Daoist shook his head, somewhat inwardly complaining.
This method of obtaining the fruits of the Great Dao is rather despicable.
“In order to break through, some powerful immortals and divine experts are willing to pay any price,” Zhen Yuanzi said.
“Brother Dao, it seems your sworn brother is actually stronger than you now,” Hongyun Daoist suddenly laughed.
Zhen Yuanzi was speechless. He hadn't expected that Sun Wukong could reach his current level in such a short time.
It should be noted that his path to sainthood spanned many eras before he finally grasped the ultimate truth.
Qingfeng and Mingyue, among the disciples, exchanged bewildered glances. Back during the Journey to the West, they had even cursed Sun Wukong...
"Lord Ketu is also very powerful." Daoist Hongyun sighed. He estimated that any one of Daoist Taixu, Daoist Chixia, or the Spirit Jade would most likely lose to him in a one-on-one fight, let alone take on all three of them.
“In the vast universe, there are always talented people in every generation. Even we are inferior to them,” Zhen Yuanzi said.
Suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes narrowed as he stared at the holy war between Sun Wukong and the Jade Emperor!
“That is…” Hongyun Daoist’s expression also changed a few times.
"Primordial Purple Qi???" Qingfeng and Mingyue exclaimed loudly.
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, everyone was quite surprised.
"So, the one who stalks the mantis while unaware of the oriole behind is actually the Jade Emperor." The Red Cloud Taoist's expression turned cold.
After Hongjun merged with the Dao and became the Dao Ancestor, he once lectured on the Primordial Dao Fruit in the Zixiao Palace deep in the celestial chaos. At that time, three thousand mortals entered the palace to listen to the lecture.
After three sermons, Hongjun completely merged with the Dao. Apart from appointing Daoist disciples, establishing the Heavenly Court, and appointing them as the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Queen Mother respectively, he only distributed some treasures and then disappeared.
Although the distribution of treasures was a grand event, what people talked about most was the bestowal of the Primordial Purple Qi!
The Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, the Master of Heaven, the Guide of the Way, the Guide of the Way, and the Goddess Nuwa all obtained a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. Later, they comprehended its mysteries and attained sainthood!
The seventh wisp of Primordial Purple Qi fell into the arms of Daoist Hongyun.
Therefore, it aroused the hostility of many powerful individuals and became a target.
Among them, the demon master Kunpeng and the Styx Daoist were the most envious and hunted down the Red Cloud Daoist for many eras!
In the end, Daoist Hongyun died, and neither the Demon Master nor Daoist Minghe gained anything. The Primordial Purple Qi seemed to have vanished without a trace. Even when a sage tried to calculate the secrets of heaven, he could not find it.
Who would have thought that the Jade Emperor would secretly take it away...
"It's him!"
At this moment, not only Hongyun Daoist, but also Minghe Daoist of the Blood Sea and the demon master Kunpeng of Beiju Luzhou all had a dark expression.
Of course, they did not intend to rush out and help Sun Wukong to kill the Jade Emperor.
They had no intention of getting involved in this conflict and turmoil.
It's just that the Jade Emperor's actions in the past... were kept secret and no one knew about them, but now that he has openly taken out the Primordial Purple Qi...
Next, we need to find an opportunity to make the Jade Emperor suffer a loss in silence!
Otherwise, people might really think they're pushovers who can be easily manipulated!
"That wisp of primordial purple energy fell into the hands of the Jade Emperor?"
In the Great Crimson Heaven, the Great Luo Heaven, the Yu Yu Heaven, the Western Paradise, the Nuwa Heaven, Mount Ling, the Fire Cloud Cave, the Underworld, the Northern Ju Lu Continent, and other regions, the gazes of sages were scrutinizing that strange purple aura!
