"There are many Heavenly Ranks, and quite a few Heaven-Defying Ranks as well."

"As expected of the War of Slaughtering the Heavens, it is truly extraordinary. These powerful beings fighting could easily destroy the starry sky and collapse the universe. Wasn't the Third Realm almost destroyed in the War of Slaughtering the Heavens at the end of the Primordial Era? Now, the Third Realm can no longer nurture or sustain ordinary life. Only those powerful top-tier life forms can enter and leave the Third Realm without fear of harm. A few years ago, the Third Realm was even used by the Demon Lord as a prison to hold Heavenly Rank experts."

"Moreover, this is just the prelude. What if it's the final war that will slaughter the heavens..."

As Cao Ya thought to himself, he couldn't help but shudder.

Although he had become as powerful as a high-level Heavenly Realm cultivator thanks to the help of a large group of people, Cao Ya still felt that he was not powerful enough and lacked a sense of security.

"It should at least be at the Heaven-Defying level... If it's at the Heaven-Defying King level, or even the Heavenly Dao level, that would be even better. Hmm, that's wishful thinking..."

Cao Ya chuckled, shook his head, extinguished the inappropriate thoughts, regained his composure, and gazed at the starry sky with a solemn expression.

He looked around and saw not only many Heavenly Realm experts he knew or did not know, but also Dugu Baitian and the Taiji Diagram, the Demon Lord and the king among the Chaos Remnants fighting, and the Demonic Chen Zhan charging into battle. The entire Star Sea was in chaos!

"Two little ants, do they think they can turn the world upside down?" Suddenly, a cold laugh rang out, tinged with disdain.

"It's you, Black Hand Guangyuan!" Chen Nan's gaze sharpened, filled with murderous intent, chilling to the bone.

This is a lackey of the Evil Heavenly Dao. In the ancient times, he slaughtered many experts in the Six Realms and killed countless lives. His hands are covered with blood debts and he is full of evil deeds.

“Black Hand Guangyuan…” Cao Ya’s pupils contracted slightly, his expression extremely solemn. Black Hand Guangyuan was a great figure whose name shook the ages. Cao Ya knew this person and was also very clear about Black Hand Guangyuan’s power and terror, but before today, he had never had any formal dealings with Guangyuan.

Of course, given his strength, if he were caught by Guangyuan, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

So it's actually a good thing that we've never had any dealings.

But now it is a war to slaughter the heavens. The battlefield is located in the boundless starry sky above the celestial realm. Many heaven-defying and heaven-ranked experts from the six realms have emerged. Naturally, the powerful figures under the Evil Heavenly Dao, such as the Chaos Remnants and Chaos Kings, have also stepped out of their caves and, together with the Heavenly Avatar, intercepted the powerful figures from the six realms and were ordered to kill them under the starry sky.

As a powerful figure under the command of the Evil Heavenly Dao, Black Hand Guangyuan would certainly not be absent.

Whew~~~

The void cracked open, and a figure emerged, his aura wild and unrestrained, sweeping across the eight directions and awe-inspiring.

Black Hand Guangyuan looked at Cao Ya and Chen Nan, seemingly aware that the two of them had previously joined forces to kill a Celestial Incarnation, and thus sneered repeatedly, saying:

"You think you can fight me after killing an Incarnation of Heaven? Ha! You're overestimating yourself, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Chen Nan, let's see who can save you this time?"

Guangyuan and Chennan had interacted before. Guangyuan once tried to kill Chennan, but was stopped by others, allowing Chennan to escape.

It was because of this that Chen Nan learned of Guang Yuan's existence, that he was a mastermind manipulating the overall situation, and that he was likely one of the top experts under the Evil Heavenly Dao.

"Heaven-defying level!"

Cao Yahan's hair stood on end. With a clear whistle that shook the universe, he raised his hand and a surge of Five Elements Immortal Light burst forth. At the same time, his left hand formed a sword incantation, and a vast purple lightning sword light engulfed the area. Divine radiance bloomed, and runes filled the sky, making even the cold starry sky scorching hot.

"Guangyuan, prepare to die!" Chen Nan roared. Amidst the dazzling starlight, he suddenly felt a special power surging within him, forcing him to unleash it. He drew mysterious trajectories with his hands, and terrifying fluctuations shook the starry sky. Facing the heaven-defying Guangyuan, he actually unleashed the second and third moves of the "Eight Reversal Techniques" in succession!

Gu Xing

Cao Ya and Chen Nan simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks, lunging towards the Black Hand Guang Yuan.

"A trivial skill." Guangyuan said dismissively, his disdain for their abilities evident in his contempt.

However, he truly has the capital to be so disdainful, and his power transcends heaven and earth.

Boom!!!

Guangyuan raised his hand and struck out countless times, causing the starry sky to tremble, large swathes of stars to shatter, and galaxies to collapse one after another.

The power of Cao Ya and Chen Nan dissipated in Guang Yuan's palm strike, failing to pose any effective obstacle to Guang Yuan. They were like ants, easily destroyed with a flick of the finger.

"Die." Guangyuan said indifferently, pointing out another finger, as if it were the will of Heaven, wanting to annihilate all living beings with ease.

"Huh? I can't move?!" Cao Ya's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and roared, about to unleash all his power, using the strength of all his systems to fight against the finger strike from the Black Hand Guang Yuan, when suddenly—

"Go to the other side, Guangyuan. You are not someone you can handle right now." The Skeleton Ghost Lord's calm voice rang out, and a force directly broke through Guangyuan's blockade, entangled Cao Ya, and threw him millions of miles away.

Like Cao Ya, Chen Nan was also rescued by the Ghost Lord.

After glancing at Cao Ya and Chen Nan, the Ghost Lord released another wave of spiritual energy, carrying a hint of reproach:

"I told you not to come, but you insisted! This is just one of the Heaven-Defying level. There are many more Heaven-Defying level beings under the Evil Heavenly Dao who haven't appeared yet. The truly powerful ones are the Evil Heavenly Dao's clones, the kind with independent consciousness."

"Sigh, since you're here, go help the others, kill the remnants of Chaos, broaden your horizons, and gain more experience."

As the Ghost Lord spoke, a flash of white light appeared, and he rushed forward.

At the same time, during the charge, the snow-white skeleton suddenly swelled up, its surface shimmering with light, surrounded by white light, with Dao principles emerging and Dharma rhythms filling the air. Then, the Ghost Lord's skeleton actually grew flesh and hair!

He miraculously restored his body to its former glory amidst the starry sky, his bones now bearing flesh.

Thus, in Cao Ya and Chen Nan's eyes, they saw a burly giant rushing towards the Black Hand Guang Yuan, sweeping across the starry sky, and with a wisp of power, destroying a star.

"Ghost Lord? You old bastard, you're still alive! Today, I'll kill you right here and make you a true vengeful ghost!" Guangyuan sneered, his eyes filled with sinister light.

Even when he saw the Demon Lord, he was not afraid at all.

Why should someone who is also at the level of defying the heavens be afraid of the Ghost Lord?

Throughout so many eras, those who have gained the upper hand and slaughtered heroes and all living beings have always been them!

The Ghost Lords and their ilk have failed countless times and been reborn countless times. In short, they are nothing more than defeated opponents.

However, Guangyuan selectively ignored the fact that the evil Heavenly Dao behind them was the biggest culprit that severely damaged the heroes. Even if all the heaven-defying forces came out together, they still couldn't defeat the evil Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, relying solely on the remnants of chaos, the conscious avatars of the Heavenly Dao, the unconscious incarnations of Heaven, and powerful figures like Guangyuan, it would have been impossible for the heroes of all realms to suffer repeated defeats, heavy casualties, rivers of blood, and countless deaths in the wars of various eras.

This is because the power of the evil Heavenly Way is unmatched.
