"The Lord of Space is bound to lose against the Five Thunder Palm, but I wonder how many moves he can withstand?"

"I'd guess ten moves! After all, he's one of the Eight Ancient Masters, a direct disciple of the Rune Ancestor. He should be able to last at least ten rounds, right?"

...

Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, Bai Mei Laoren, Zhu Li, and Qing Zhi were all discussing it.

In any case, no one has a high opinion of the Space Master.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Space's face darkened. Damn it, they actually looked down on him like that…

Looking at the nonchalant Cao Ya across from him, the Lord of Space had to admit that ten thousand years had passed and things had changed. Cao Ya, who was once a second-tier Reincarnation Realm expert, had now completely surpassed the Reincarnation Realm, leaving all living beings in this world behind and chasing after the Ancestor of Symbols and the Demon Emperor.

Indeed, before a half-ancestor, even the triple cycle of reincarnation is nothing.

The Lord of Space closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and a burst of silver light erupted.

"Cao Ya, I want to see the power of a half-ancestor." The Lord of Space licked his lips, a sense of excitement in his voice.

To attack someone at the Ancestral Realm would mean being utterly crushed, but he figured a Half-Ancestor wouldn't be in such a state.

It is too difficult to attain the Ancestral Realm in one step through the Threefold Cycle of Reincarnation. Therefore, the transitional realm of Half-Ancestor was created, which is stronger than the Threefold Cycle of Reincarnation but weaker than the Ancestral Realm.

Cao Ya smiled slightly. Since the Lord of Space wanted to challenge him and see his power, he would accept and let them truly see what it meant to have power comparable to that of an Ancestral Realm expert!

In terms of cultivation level within this world's system, Cao Ya's cultivation is roughly equivalent to that of the Lord of Space. His Yuan Power path is at the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation, while his Spiritual Power path is at the Divine Palace Realm, making him even slightly superior.

But this doesn't qualify as a half-ancestor; at most, it's the peak of the third cycle of reincarnation, like the Ice Lord or the Devouring Lord.

However, by mobilizing other systems, especially the strongest [Panlong] universe Cao Ya power, he instantly reached the four-star level, no less than the Ancestral Realm.

With so many systems combined, Cao Ya was confident that he was no less than the Ancestor of Symbols and the Demon Emperor. The Ancestor of Symbols had passed away, but the Demon Emperor was still alive. If the Demon Emperor were not the patriarch of the Demon Clan, a branch of the Extraterrestrial Evil Race, Cao Ya believed he would be absolutely certain of defeating him.

However, the extraterrestrial evil race is too terrifying, even the Great Thousand World is harmed and plunged into turmoil and war. Cao Ya is not sure whether the Demon Emperor has any special trump cards.

After all, the talisman ancestor came from the Great Thousand Worlds, not a native being of the Tianxuan Continent.

These two have trump cards that are definitely stronger than those of ordinary Ancestral Realm cultivators. However, the Ancestral Symbol Master leaned towards Lawful Goodness, and thus ultimately died burning his cycle of reincarnation in order to save the Tianxuan Continent.

Although the Demon Emperor was sealed, he is still alive, and as time goes by, he is about to break free of the seal.

From this perspective, the victor among the two ancestral realms is still the Demon Emperor.

"You make your move," Cao Ya said with a smile, facing the Lord of Space, without trying to take the initiative.

It would be more like it was the Demon Emperor.

The Lord of Space was not polite either, after all, his opponent was a half-ancestor, and in terms of cultivation level, he was at a complete disadvantage.

"It's starting!" Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Drink!" the Lord of Space shouted, and then his hand stretched out from his sleeve. His hand was quite thin, but there was a silver light shimmering at his fingertips, which was the power of the Space Ancestral Symbol.

Although the spatial ancestral symbol had already separated from him while he was asleep and sought a new master on its own.

However, after tens of thousands of years of control and reaching the peak of the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation, the Lord of Space can freely manipulate the power of space without the Space Ancestral Symbol.

"Cao Ya, take this!" the Lord of Space laughed, a flash of silver light in his palm, and the space suddenly twisted, two silver spatial blades, like scissors, extended towards Cao Ya with lightning speed.

Knowing that a half-ancestor was not to be trifled with, after his first strike, he formed another fist seal, causing the space in all directions to suddenly collapse and distort. One after another, fists flashing with silver light were unleashed, carrying violent Yuan energy fluctuations that shook the heavens and the earth, bombarding Cao Ya. A chilling aura swept over him, and the spatial rules surged.

The Lord of Space stood there, exuding an aura of creation, causing the Heavenly Cave to tremble, its primordial energy surging, and its presence awe-inspiring.

But Cao Ya knew that the master of that space was just a phantom; the real body had already traversed space, wandering around him, spying on his weaknesses, and looking for an opportunity.

Without some special methods, how dare one call themselves the Lord of Space?

Cao Ya remained calm and unfazed.

The next second, he erupted, his aura rising continuously as if it would never end. His clothes fluttered, and a vast divine light seemed to rise into the sky, sweeping across the entire Heavenly Cave, and even piercing through the Heavenly Cave and penetrating into the Milky Way.

Sizzle!!

No matter what kind of spatial power it is, it is as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of a more powerful force.

Sizzle~~~

The silver light instantly shattered, the silver hand and the silver fist were all crushed, and transformed into the most primordial master of space, disappearing into the void.

A mist suddenly rose, a gentle breeze arose, and darkness spread.

Multiple profound laws surged forth, containing unparalleled power, filling the entire space and shattering the void. This forced the Lord of Space to reveal himself, and under the attack of the profound laws, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, his face growing paler and paler.

His ability to distort space was no longer usable; he could no longer even traverse the void, and even taking flight was difficult, as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to move.

"This..." Everyone was stunned.

Suddenly, Cao Ya flicked his hand, withdrawing all his power.

The Lord of Space stood still, and a trace of color finally returned to his pale face. He sighed. Sure enough, he was extremely vulnerable in front of a Half-Ancestor.

"Cao Ya, if you go all out, you could kill me in one move, right?" the Lord of Space sighed.

He could tell that Cao Ya had already shown mercy.

Cao Ya smiled.

Although he did not answer, the Lord of Space already knew the answer, and he sighed again.

"Is this the Half-Ancestor? So powerful!" Everyone was stunned. The Lord of Space was different from the previous Heavenly Illusion King and Earthly Illusion King. He was a well-known powerhouse, but his performance was no better than those two Demon Kings.

In the end, they could only marvel at how powerful and terrifying the Half-Ancestor was, beyond their imagination.

"Over the past ten thousand years, you have taken a different path and reaped great rewards," said the Lord of Space. In ancient times, Cao Ya dominated a region with the Path of Thunder, not the Path of Wind, the Path of Water, or the Path of Darkness.

Although defeated, the Lord of Space was pleased to have personally experienced Cao Ya's power.

This means that the Tianxuan Continent faction has become even stronger.

All we need to do is guard against the Demon Emperor and prevent him from being born.

"Hmm, among our eight ancient masters and other super strong individuals, I wonder which ones have returned and which ones haven't," the Lord of Space said in a low voice, his mood suddenly somber. It seemed that some super strong individuals would never return.

His fellow disciple—the Lord of Devouring—was destined never to return.

Of the eight ancient masters, the Ice Master was severely injured and entered reincarnation with the help of the Rune Ancestor. The Space Master, Darkness Master, Primordial Master, Flame Master, Thunder Master, and Life and Death Master escaped the threat of death with the help of the Devouring Master, returned to their respective territories, and fell into a long slumber to recuperate from their injuries.

Therefore, the Lord of Devouring had no choice but to burn away the cycle of reincarnation, thus completely disappearing from the world.

Even a powerful being in the Reincarnation Realm retains a trace of their spirit after death, with the potential to revive in future generations. However, this only happens if the Sea of ​​Reincarnation remains intact. If one burns away their reincarnation, it means they have chosen to disappear.

"Those who are meant to come back will come back," Yan comforted the Lord of Space, seeing his low spirits.

Aokiji sighed softly, for his Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan was also gone forever.

Everyone fell silent. In the first great war between heaven and earth in ancient times, countless powerful beings perished, and the number of ordinary beings was even more innumerable.

Judging from the current situation, the second great war between heaven and earth is probably about to break out.

At that time, the world will be in turmoil, all living beings will wail, and powerful figures will fall in droves, with blood rain spreading throughout the Tianxuan Continent.
