The ancient races adjusted their strategy once again, all agreeing to the invitation from the Jade Pool Holy Land and replying that they would arrive on time. This world truly needs change and order.

Under the power of the Great Sage of the Human Race and the Supreme Emperor Weapon, even the myriad races of the Primordial Era had to submit.

Cao Ya's blocking of the Supreme Finger in the restricted area truly startled them.

The great saints of all races knew they could not withstand that single finger strike.

Unless the ancient imperial weapon is fully revived!

But the Devouring Demon Jar has not fully recovered!

"I don't believe it!"

In a blessed land, the Heavenly Emperor's son's face was contorted, and fire spurted from his eyes.

Since being rescued by the Undying Heavenly Blade, he has been hiding here, meeting with the protectors. The eight divine generals under his father's command have also emerged and are under his command.

But he could face a Great Sage of the Human Race who also possessed an ultimate imperial weapon...

It should be noted that the Undying Heavenly Blade only appears occasionally, and even the Heavenly Emperor's son cannot control it, let alone those protectors.

Naturally, one must retreat and dare not directly confront its sharp edge.

"Son of God, let's be patient. Once the Undying Empress is born, no human Great Saint or human Holy Body will be a threat; we'll crush them all," the protector advised the Heavenly Emperor's son.

When the Immortal Empress was mentioned, the Emperor Prince fell silent.

He was not born to the Immortal Empress. The relationship between the Immortal Empress and her father was also very complicated, involving Ning Fei, the first divine general under her father. It was a complete mess.

"Damn it, my father has eight great generals. The first general, Ning Fei, is one thing, but the other seven have not yet been born." The Heavenly Emperor's son said bitterly. If the eight great generals were to be born, even if they were damaged by time, they would still be at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. Even if the Great Sage of the Human Race, Cao Ya, possessed an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, he could still kill them.

Even a fully revived Supreme Emperor Weapon might not be able to kill those beings.

Under the Emperor of Immortality are eight divine generals, who are ordinary followers, numerous in number, and each one is powerful.

There are also eight divine generals, eight life forms at the peak of quasi-emperors, whose power far surpasses that of the eight divine generals. These are followers that even the Undying Emperor must take seriously.

Many of the Eight Divine Generals have already been born, following the offspring of the Immortal Emperor—the Emperor's Son.

However, none of the eight divine generals have yet emerged from the divine source.

In particular, Ning Fei, the strongest first divine general, could not actually be considered a follower of the Undying Emperor, but rather an admirer of the Undying Empress.

If it weren't for the Undying Empress, Ning Fei would absolutely not have wanted to serve as the First Divine General under the Undying Emperor!

Unfortunately, all that love was ultimately betrayed.

If the divine source is sealed away, Ning Fei will have a chance to truly attain the Dao and become an emperor in future generations.

"The timing isn't quite right yet. Son of God, you must use this time to improve your cultivation, at least to become a Saint, and if you can become a Quasi-Emperor..." the protector advised.

"Hmph, I know, you don't need to say more," the Emperor's son snorted.

The protectors looked at each other, speechless.

The Crown Prince possesses extraordinary bloodline and a noble status, but is his temperament truly the Dao heart to become an emperor?

Among the ancient princes, there is the Holy Prince who wields a celestial iron rod and vows to conquer the world and become emperor. Other ancient princes, such as Huang Xudao and Huo Lin'er, also possess powerful and clear Dao hearts.

"The Emperor left behind so many contingency plans, it should work, right?" a group of protectors muttered to themselves.

Fire Scale Cave.

Buzz~~~

The Qilin Imperial Staff began to revive, exuding a hint of the supreme majesty of an ancient emperor. It was dazzlingly blue, sparkling brilliantly, emitting an eternal radiance that illuminated the entire Fire Qilin Cave, its divine power subtly revealed.

This is the weapon of the Primordial Emperor of Fire Kirin Cave. Sensing the Devouring Demon Jar's approaching revival, it actively began to revive itself.

Although it was far from a complete recovery, the oppressive aura was enough to make the creatures of Fire Scale Cave tremble. If it weren't for their own clan's royal soldiers, they probably would have been unable to resist kneeling down and worshipping devoutly.

Strands of blue light burst forth, dimming the sun, moon, and stars, making them utterly incomparable to this artifact; they shone with no brilliance before it.

"Is the resurgence of the Imperial Staff due to concerns that the Great Sage Cao Ya of the human race, wielding the Devouring Demon Jar, will annihilate our race?" a member of the Fire Scale Cave whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense! It's not that our clan doesn't have Great Saints, it's just that they haven't been awakened from their divine source yet."

"If our Great Sage were to be born and wield an ancient imperial artifact, he would surely be able to contend with the Great Sages of the human race!"

"But that Great Sage Cao Ya can block a single finger from the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone!"

"Well... it will definitely protect our Fire Scale Cave!"

...

Hearing the discussion among the tribespeople inside the cave, and feeling somewhat uneasy, Huo Qizi and Huo Lin'er exchanged a glance and suddenly shouted:

"What's the panic? The Imperial Staff is here! No human Great Saint or Supreme Imperial Weapon can destroy my Fire Scale Cave!"

They are the son and daughter of the Qilin Ancient Emperor. Within the Fire Qilin Cave, their status and position are extremely high, and they are hailed as the future Ancient Emperor!

Their words can give people confidence.

Huo Qizi, Huo Lin'er, and the others looked up at the Great Sage Cao Ya slowly passing through the sky. The Devouring Demon Jar unleashed its power, emitting an aura that made the sun, moon, and stars tremble. Strands of dark light fell down, crushing the heavens and earth for eternity and alarming the ten directions.

The jar is simple and unadorned, resembling pottery. Some of the engravings on it have beautiful lines, like the graceful figure of a young girl imprinted on it, radiating a power that has instilled fear in countless heroes throughout history.

A fluctuation at the level of an emperor!

The Devouring Demon Jar!

The first incarnation of the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor, possessed an imperial weapon that shook the ages. It hung above Cao Ya's head, emanating boundless imperial aura that swept across the heavens and shattered the universe.

Ruthless Emperor!

Who doesn't know this great emperor? Even the ancient races that were sealed away heard of him after his rebirth. He slaughtered his way across the nine heavens and ten earths, causing fear in all the heavens, making even the supreme beings tremble, and forcing the forbidden zones to show weakness and submit.

Although she has passed away and is no longer in this world, the magic jar formed from her body is still alive. Some even say that this is equivalent to the Ruthless Great Emperor's alternative immortality!

Moreover, that human race's Great Sage Cao Ya is an ancient Great Sage who has been sealed away since the era of the Devouring Emperor!

All living beings speculated that the Great Sage Cao Ya must be related to that ruthless Great Emperor, perhaps as his successor or a relative.

"This is outrageous! We, the Fire Kirin Cave, are an ancient royal family. We have never felt so humiliated before," a member of the Fire Kirin Cave said indignantly.

As royalty, how could they not be proud?

It is truly frustrating to watch as the great scriptures of the human race are passed down and the imperial army crushes mountains and rivers while our side is unable to resist.

"If we are not as strong as others, we should just accept it." Huo Lin'er shook her head and said. The Great Sage of Huo Lin Cave has not yet left the source of the divine power. It is impossible for them to resist the combination of Great Sage Cao Ya and the Devouring Demon Jar.

"He must be injured," Huo Qizi said, his words carrying an unspoken implication: if they activated the Qilin Imperial Staff, they might be able to launch a surprise attack and kill the human race's Great Sage, Cao Ya!

Clearly, seeing Cao Ya's imposing presence, Huo Qizi was dissatisfied, just like the other members of the Huo Lin Cave clan, and was very indignant.

"This has nothing to do with us! Don't do anything reckless!" Huo Lin'er warned. "Our Huo Lin Cave clan is small, and our ancestral star is not Beidou. It was only after my father attained enlightenment in the ancient times that we came to the Beidou Burial Emperor Star."

"We don't have any deep conflicts with the human race, so there's no need for us to stand out. Let's leave it to the Heavenly Emperor's son or some other ancient prince."

Huo Lin'er warned all her clansmen, and even though they were still resentful, they agreed.

Inside the Fire Kirin Cave, among the two ancient royal children, Fire Kirin's prestige far surpasses that of Fire Kirin, and she is respected far more by the clansmen.

Even the clan's sages asserted that if a second ancient emperor were to appear in the Fire Kirin Cave, it would most likely be Fire Kirin!

It is neither the Fire Kirin nor the Great Sage who has been sealed away.

Huo Lin'er kept a low profile, and the outside world only treated her differently because she was the daughter of an ancient royal family. It was only inside the Huo Lin Cave that her people realized how powerful and fearful she was.
