The immortal, divine, and imperial formations from other realms that Cao Ya presented, while not entirely consistent with the [Eternal Life Realm] universe, were of very high ideals and extremely profound. With slight modifications, they could become first-rate super divine formations.

Ultimately, the results were remarkable. Many regions were equipped with top-tier formations that were interconnected and linked together. Without understanding the secrets within and knowing the paths, even experts at the ninth level of the Ancestral God realm would likely find it difficult to navigate.

However, everyone still felt that something was missing.

Afterwards, they went out again, entering the central region of the Dead Realm, traveling to various places in search of a suitable Primordial Demon City.

Because of the mystery surrounding the Demon City, even with their thorough investigation, it's difficult to guarantee that the soul fire of any powerful stone golem doesn't truly exist within its walls.

Xiao Chen decided that he would explore it himself.

Although everyone was worried, Xiao Chen possessed a divine diagram and a battle sword within him, which was enough to suppress all kinds of abnormal fluctuations. In addition, his past experiences made him more suitable than the others.

"Don't worry! I still have half a stone man's skull inside me, the remains of the true Stone King. It may seem insignificant, but it holds many mysteries. Within the Demon City, even if such a dormant stone man were to truly revive, how could it possibly contend with the Stone King's incomplete skull?"

Xiao Chen smiled and reassured everyone. Although he was somewhat confident, he was also very serious. After absorbing the stone bone, the divine diagram appeared and disappeared, and the battle sword surrounded him, he entered the Primordial Demon City fully armed.

Cao Ya, along with Yan Huang, the Old Ancestor Dragon, the Mark of Martial Arts, the Mysterious Old Farmer, Mo Xiaowang, and other Ancestral Gods, as well as Ke Ke and the Half-Ancestors Tianwaitian, Renwairen, Yingxiong, Golden Divine Halberd, and Wuhei Iron Seal, all watched vigilantly, ready to act immediately if there was any unusual movement.

On the vast plain, there stands an ancient city, quietly erected. Its tall and majestic black walls stretch out like a majestic mountain range, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring. The city is entirely built of black divine stones.

Ancient Demon City!

The very essence of a powerful stone golem!

Cao Ya gazed intently, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"In this [Eternal Life Realm] universe, the path to becoming a supreme ancestor god is difficult, but it is still in line with common sense. It is about comprehending the original divine laws of all the heavens and myriad worlds, which means comprehending various laws and rules. Many universes are quite similar."

"But this Stone King route..."

Cao Ya frowned slightly.

When he truly attains the status of an Ancestral God and reaches the peak of the Ninth Heaven, will he choose the path of the Stone King or the path of the Supreme Ancestral God?

"Perhaps I should choose the latter," Cao Ya pondered.

After all, relying on himself from other universes—even though the universes are different and the laws are different, there are still some commonalities. The forms of expression, the laws of operation, and the underlying principles are always similar—Cao Ya from the [Eternal Life Realm] felt that he should be able to go further on the path of the Supreme Ancestral God and hopefully achieve Great Perfection.

The main stone king road is too special.

To build a demon city and house oneself, one must never leave the demon city before taking the final step and becoming the Stone King; otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain, and all hope of advancing further will be lost.

The Demon City stretches across the heavens and earth, receiving the divine laws of the universe and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to forge the stone man's body. From flesh and blood, it gradually petrifies. Only when the entire body, inside and out, is completely petrified and transformed into a stone body can it be considered to have achieved great success and become a true Stone King, capable of traversing all the heavens and suppressing all the myriad realms!

At that time, the stone man had become the Stone King, and was no longer restricted by the Demon City. He could roam freely throughout the myriad realms, and even if the Demon City destroyed it with its own hands, it would have no effect.

However, throughout history, countless ancestral gods of the Ninth Heaven have embarked on the path to the Stone King, but how many have actually taken the final step?

The most obvious example is the countless ancient demon cities in the world of death, which are the countless failed attempts of the Nine Heavens of Ancestral Gods.

Of course, the Stone King Road is better than the Supreme Ancestral God Road in that as long as one builds a Demon City, enters it, and begins the petrification and transformation, one's strength will increase, and one can be called a Stone King.

On the contrary, those experts who have followed the path of supreme ancestral gods have almost no significant improvement in strength before they comprehend the fundamental divine laws of all realms to a certain level, and they see no hope of further progress. This is a severe blow to their spirit.

Furthermore, taking the final step on the Path of the Supreme Ancestral God to truly achieve Great Perfection is indeed more difficult than the Path of the Stone King.

Because of the difficulty, any Supreme Ancestral God at the Great Perfection is comparable to a top-tier Stone King, standing at the pinnacle of the King Realm.

For some confident ancestral gods, they might be willing to walk the path of the supreme ancestral god.

In general, among the nine levels of Ancestral Gods in all the heavens and myriad realms, the number of those who have reached the Stone King Path is at least ten times greater than those who have reached the Supreme Ancestral God Path!

Although Cao Ya believed that he was more suited to the path of the Supreme Ancestral God, which could enhance his physical body and break through the laws of the Stone King with force, he was unwilling to give it up.

“Those who follow two different cultivation paths are not uncommon throughout the myriad realms.”

"My physique is strong, and I have also gained a lot of insights into the path of body cultivation. It would be a pity if I really gave up the Stone King's Path."

"The path to reaching the sixth level of cultivation should not be abandoned under any circumstances."

Cao Ya secretly finalized his future cultivation path.

He then burst into laughter.

He's only at the level of a War Ancestor, how can he already be thinking about cultivation beyond the Ninth Heaven of Ancestral God?!

Although the War Ancestor also had nine heavens, that was the peak, and there was no hope of advancing further or transcending the Ancestral God.

Otherwise, ancestral gods wouldn't be the mainstream in all the heavens and myriad realms.

While Cao Ya was indulging in wild fantasies and daydreaming, Xiao Chen had already leaped into the imposing ancient demon city.

The moment they entered, an unusual aura permeated out. Everyone saw that Xiao Chen's body was glowing and demonic runes appeared on his forehead.

Boom!!!

The demonic markings on his forehead resembled vertical eyes, from which a divine light shot out.

The clouds tore apart, the sky seemed to shatter, and divine light pierced through the outer star system, blasting through an uninhabited star!

"So powerful!" Several semi-ancestors, including Tianwaitian, Renwairen, Yingxiong, Golden Divine Halberd, and Wuhei Iron Seal, were shocked.

"With the power of a peak Ancestral God!" the mysterious old farmer murmured, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"So terrifying?!" Tianwaitian, who looked like a delinquent, was shocked. He had thought that Xiao Chen was comparable to an Ancestral God, but he never expected that he was actually a peak Ancestral God of the Ninth Heaven!

"The Primordial Demon City is entirely the property of powerful stone golems, who have already surpassed the realm of Ancestral Gods. Therefore, it is not excessive for Xiao Chen to possess such power after taking over this Primordial Demon City," said the Old Ancestral Dragon.

“Only Xiao Chen is suitable,” Mo Xiaowang said.

"This kid has really made something of himself," Wu Zhiyin muttered, recalling how he had once belittled Xiao Chen.

Cao Ya stared intently, her mind racing.

In the future, he will walk the path of the Stone King. How should he build his own demon city?

boom……

At that moment, Xiao Chen roared, and the Primordial Demon City shook violently, instantly shaking the central region of the Death Realm. Countless skeletal creatures trembled in fear.
