Boom!
"
Ye Fan's hair and beard flew wildly, his eyes were captivating, and he was like a heavenly emperor. He traversed the vast ocean of thunder and lightning, yet none of them could harm him in the slightest, demonstrating the terrifying power of his sacred body.
The Secret Techniques of Fighting, All, Ancient Void Techniques, Eternal Universe Techniques, and Beginningless Divine Techniques, among others, were displayed one after another in his hands. Immortal light surged, and the rhythm was mysterious and strange. They shattered billions of lightning bolts and canceled each other out.
He even wielded the Heavenly Emperor Fist, its fierce intent covering the entire universe, intertwining laws and spewing forth divine essence, leaving everyone astonished.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
However, before Ye Fan could break through that sea of lightning, the heavens and earth sensed his power and, knowing the strength of this holy body, immediately a new great calamity appeared, merging into the sea of lightning and pressing down, seemingly intent on killing Ye Fan.
When the saints saw this, they were all terrified and their scalps tingled.
Every bolt of lightning in that vast ocean seemed capable of easily piercing their sacred bodies!
The pressure Ye Fan is facing right now is simply indescribable!
Finally, Ye Fan also coughed up blood. Golden holy blood splattered, burned by ancient flames. Divine winds blew, the Great Dao trembled, and the universe shook.
"break!
Ye Fan's brow glowed, his immortal platform shone brightly, and he opened his mouth to swallow and spew out various kinds of lightning. When he unleashed his Emperor Fist, it shattered the divine wind, pierced through the flames, cleansed his body, and tempered his soul. All of this was radiant and crystal clear.
At the same time, a huge cauldron stretched across the sky. Occasionally, Ye Fan would jump into it, using the sea of fire he absorbed to temper his body, or he would smash it out to block a sea of wind, flames, and lightning, relieving the pressure on Ye Fan.
This is also refining the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things. As Ye Fan's artifact for achieving enlightenment, it must undergo tribulation at the same time, and the last piece grows to advance to the Supreme Realm!
However, this process was extremely dangerous, as the primordial energy of all things was being ground down. Fortunately, the Great Dao erupted, resisting the sharp heavenly punishment and using it to temper and refine the beings.
This intense clash was no less fierce than Ye Fan's bloody battle against a formidable enemy, and perhaps even more so!
Soon, his body was shattered multiple times, and his primordial spirit seemed to be torn apart and pierced by lightning. Although Ye Fan felt pain, he did not back down. He activated the "Zhe" secret technique to repair his wounds, let out a clear roar, and charged forward without any fear. His indomitable spirit and willingness to fight to the death shook the world, and hundreds of millions of cultivators were impressed!
As a high-level quasi-emperor, Ye Fan's experiences are quite miraculous. He has traveled through countless realms and visited countless ancient stars.
The mystical arts he acquired were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, even surpassing those of quasi-emperors from ancient holy lands, ancient families, ancient royal families, and powerful races of the universe.
Ye Fan has mastered several of the Nine Secrets, which are extremely famous, such as the Dou Zi Secret for unparalleled combat, the Jie Zi Secret for tenfold amplification, the Xing Zi Secret for unparalleled speed, the Zhe Zi Secret for divine healing skills, and the Bing Zi Secret for controlling all the weapons in the world.
It is said that the nine secrets combined can defeat immortals!
Although Ye Fan has not yet completed the Nine Secrets, his strength has already reached the first-class level of Quasi-Emperor. His understanding of the "Zhe" Secret can be described as exquisite. Even though he cannot compare with the Longevity Celestial Venerable who created this secret, his attainment is still very profound.
Relying on the secret of the word "Zhe", Ye Fan's blood and energy seemed inexhaustible. He threw a punch, which surged and attacked in the ocean of multiple layers of heavenly tribulations. His fist light was unparalleled and he had an invincible spirit!
"With so many profound techniques, Ye Fan's opportunities are truly enviable." Many cultivators sighed, realizing that they might not obtain even one of these divine techniques in their entire lives!
Meanwhile, the powerful figures above the Quasi-Emperor level focused intently on Ye Fan's tribulation journey, pondering his Great Dao and his use of profound divine techniques, hoping to gain inspiration from it, comprehend the Emperor's Path, and then catch up with Ye Fan's pace!
At the same time, they felt heavy-hearted. Ye Fan's terror was no ordinary matter. They thought to themselves that even a high-level quasi-emperor who had advanced to the seventh level or above would find it difficult to contend with him.
"Ye Fan knows a lot of things, but in the end, what he trusts most is his self-created fist technique and the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron that has been with him since he was weak and has accompanied him as he grew up."
Cao Ya pondered. In this universe, there have been many powerful beings throughout history who have crafted cauldrons, towers, bells, and other artifacts. The remaining artifacts, such as swords, knives, furnaces, and armor, are also numerous. The myriad paths compete and complement each other, embellishing the long river of time and space.
However, it was not weapons such as swords or knives that held an absolute dominant position.
However, Cao Ya originally practiced the "Taiyin Sword Manual". Later, after becoming a quasi-emperor, he reached the end of his cultivation method and combined it with his own understanding to create the "Death Qi Sword Manual". The death qi was vast and submerged the mortal world.
"There aren't many sword cultivators in this world; it's just normal."
Cao Ya thought to himself, "Although my main skill is swordsmanship, I have also practiced all sorts of magic. As a result, I am also proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, such as knives, spears, clubs, palm techniques, and fist techniques."
"However, I can use those spells, but they are not my essence."
"If you want to become an Emperor in the Secret Realm system, this 'Death Aura Sword Manual' is of paramount importance!"
"I will forge and refine the essence of countless classics, select the most suitable ones, and integrate them into my sword manual, hoping to leap to the utmost and attain the Dao to become an emperor!"
"This is a path that all the most powerful and skilled practitioners of the past have traversed."
"It's okay if it's slower. I have an infinite lifespan and plenty of time, so there's no need to rush."
Cao Ya remained calm, focusing his attention primarily on Ye Fan, who was undergoing tribulation in the desolate star field, as well as the Overlord Ancestral Star and the Big Dipper Ancient Star.
As Ye Fan underwent his tribulation, his divine might was fierce. Under the tempering of the tribulation, he not only did not perish, but became stronger and stronger. His Dao principles were perfected, and his body, soul, and even the cauldron were all rapidly improving. He crossed the seventh and eighth levels of Quasi-Emperor and was quickly approaching the ninth level.
Inside the ancestral cave of the Overlord Ancestral Star, the two old overlords, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke again.
"It seems that the beings in the Beidou Forbidden Zone are very calm and not in a hurry at all."
"They must be hoping that our presence will pave the way for them, thus keeping Cao Ya occupied. They might be able to plunder Ye Fan's fortune and divide it among themselves."
"That's fine too! As long as Ye Fan is dead."
“This time, I will go. Kun Gu, you stay in the Ancestral Cave. The Ancestral Star cannot be without an alternative Daoist! Alas, apart from the two of us, the vast Ancestral Star, although it has Quasi-Emperors, cannot possibly be a match for Ye Fan.”
Both cold voices fell silent when this point was mentioned.
The current Heavenly Tyrant Bloodline not only lost to Ye Fan, but also couldn't even defeat Yang Xi, the younger generation's Ancient Sacred Body who was Ye Fan's disciple. That tyrant has truly disgraced the Heavenly Tyrant Bloodline!
“Go ahead, I will protect you. If Cao Ya makes a move, I can stop him. When you return, we will join forces. Why would we be afraid of a mere Cao Ya?!” said the old tyrant named “Kun Gu”.
His tone sounded domineering and arrogant, but upon closer examination, it was discovered that the Great Perfection Body "Kun Gu" actually admitted that he was no match for Cao Ya. In a one-on-one fight, he could only hold out for a short time and had no hope of winning!
This act of feigning weakness did not seem wrong to Xuanming, another Great Master Body.
Even the ascended Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao was directly confronted and killed by Cao Ya. No matter how powerful they were, they were at most comparable to the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao after he cut himself. When he returned to the peak of the Imperial Path, he was inferior.
Therefore, it can be inferred that Cao Ya's combat power is comparable to that of the Flawless Celestial Venerable, making him an extremely unique figure among the great supernatural beings throughout history!
There have been many unconventional cultivators who have not yet attained the status of Emperor over several eras, such as the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Great Accomplished Hegemonic Body, which are all quite famous.
However, no one has ever appeared who can directly rival the Supreme Emperor like Cao Ya.
Xuanming and Kungu were both puzzled and yearning for Cao Ya's cultivation.
"Then how did Cao Ya manage to cross the extreme barrier?" Xuan Ming wondered.
"I've heard that Cao Ya has also cultivated the Chaotic Ancient Method?" Kun Gu guessed, "Perhaps that's the source of Cao Ya's surpassing other Daoists by a hair's breadth."
“Whatever it is, Cao Ya must have a huge secret!” Xuan Ming laughed. “If I quickly deal with Ye Fan and then turn around to cooperate with you, we can take down Cao Ya and use the Soul Searching Secret Technique to obtain the Chaotic Ancient Method or some other mysterious technique from him.”
"Who knows, we might be able to break the curse of the Azure Heaven Tyrant Bloodline, or even regain our youth and directly create an impossible feat in this golden age, defying the heavens to become an emperor!"
At this point, Xuanming's voice was filled with excitement, and his greed was even more obvious.
“That makes sense!” Kun Gu replied, equally excited, with a chilling killing intent, targeting both Ye Fan and Cao Ya.
"Wait for my good news!"
Then, Xuanming flew out, completely breaking the seal, and soared into the sky like a burning sun.
"Ancestor!" On the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body, countless cultivators knelt in worship, their vast mental power surging forth. Under Xuanming's control, although not as concentrated as that of the Undying Daoist, it was enough to create an alternative Daoist, but it was still quite extraordinary and could catch the eye of the Great Completion Overlord Body.
The faith of the Immortal Emperor is unmatched by anyone else in the entire universe except for the Emperor.
"The Great Completion Body has been born. Who is it?"
On the Big Dipper, within several forbidden zones of life, a vast divine thought transmitted, scrutinizing the old overlord.
They had the confidence that, at their peak, those who achieved enlightenment through unorthodox methods were no match for them.
"Canglan is dead, and Xuanming has been born!" A supreme being recognized the old overlord.
"Who cares who he is! It would be best if he could keep Cao Ya in check!" Some Supreme beings scoffed.
"We cannot be careless! We are not as strong as we were at our peak. The time we can maintain our ultimate leap is very short. If we cannot defeat our opponents quickly, even if we win in the end, we are destined to die. We will not survive even if we devour all living beings in the universe." A supreme being warned.
"Huh, why isn't Cao Ya making any move?"
Suddenly, all the supreme beings exclaimed in surprise.
They were shocked to discover that the Great Completion Body "Xuanming" flew out of the ancestral star of the Body, soared into the sky, directly entered the starry sky, tore through the void, and descended upon the vast and desolate star field where Ye Fan was undergoing tribulation.
During this process, Cao Ya, who had also awakened far away on the edge of the universe and was paying attention to all realms, did not stop Ye Fan at all, as if he had no relationship with Ye Fan and would not take action for him.
"Interesting! Did Cao Ya and Ye Fan fall out, or... was it intentional, an attempt to kill someone?" The Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island sneered. His condition was not good, but it was still passable. Within the forbidden zone, he could remain dormant for another million years before he faced an unbearable situation.
Therefore, given the excellent opportunity presented by this anomaly, he was happy to emerge, seize some spoils, and continue his reign at the peak of his imperial destiny.
If there are no good opportunities, he will sleep peacefully, only waking up a small part of his consciousness to observe the situation.
So no matter what kind of trap it is, it won't fool him.
Similarly, he believed that neither the Big Dipper nor the Flying Immortal path was correct, and that the path to immortality he was waiting for was still in the future.
The various supreme beings had different ideas, and their views on the right time and the right place differed greatly from one another.
Otherwise, how could only so many supreme beings have fully recovered on the last Beidou Immortal Path?
Those awaiting the next Ascension Star Immortal Path are only a portion of the Supreme Beings.
"Let the Great Completion Overlord Body 'Xuanming' go and scout ahead."
"Hey, the Azure Sky Tyrant Bloodline is much more anxious than we are."
A group of supreme beings remained indifferent and unmoved.
The heroes within the Heavenly Court, however, appeared surprised. Then their expressions changed, and their relaxed demeanor immediately turned tense again.
“Ye Fan once went to the edge of the universe and met Supreme Cao Ya. Judging from his words, he should have received a promise from Supreme Cao Ya. Why…” Ji Zi frowned.
"It seems that Supreme Cao Ya and Ye Fan have some kind of scheme, and Ye Fan is even willing to use his own life as bait," said the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
"It's too risky..." Ji Ziyue pursed her lips, her worry evident in her words.
"Don't worry! Ye Fan dared to use himself as bait, which means he's confident," Black Emperor said.
No matter what reasons they tried to find, everyone watching from afar felt their hearts pounding.
Meanwhile, the Great Perfection Body "Xuanming" appeared outside the tribulation lightning without any hindrance, and his journey was so smooth that even he himself was surprised.
"What on earth is Cao Ya thinking? Is he trying to trap and kill me, and Kun Gu as well?"
Xuanming couldn't figure it out, but he secretly increased his vigilance, focusing his mental energy on guarding the edge of the universe, so that he could react immediately to the slightest abnormality.
He didn't rush to make a move. The tribulation lightning that Ye Fan had triggered was quite terrifying. Even those who had achieved enlightenment through unconventional means would turn pale at the sight of it. Moreover, the tribulation was special. If an outsider intervened, it would stimulate the rules of heaven and earth, causing a tribulation to erupt specifically targeting that person.
This is why neither of the two fully-formed Overlords made a move at the beginning.
Given their current condition, it's extremely risky for them to survive the tribulation.
However, Ye Fan's realm is rising, and he is about to advance to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, or even achieve the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body. At this time, even with their temperament, they are somewhat restless and cannot care about the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone's plans. They take action first.
"Heh, Xuanming, you're really overthinking things." In the desolate border region, Cao Ya chuckled softly and muttered to himself.
After Canglan, who appeared during the Dark Turmoil, died, only two old overlords remained of the Great Accomplishment Body of the Azure Sky Overlord Bloodline, slumbering in the ancestral cave.
Cao Ya had no intention of attacking either of these two fully-formed Overlords.
Leave it all to Ye Fan to handle!
As an outsider, he had no reason to meddle in the feud between the Holy Body and the Overlord Body.
The Great Completion Hegemon Body is indeed very powerful, but Cao Ya believes that if Ye Fan successfully transcends the tribulation and his Sacred Body is also perfected, his combat power will be enough to deal with the Azure Heaven Hegemon Bloodline.
Even if the other side has two old overlords!
This was something Cao Ya had told Ye Fan when he came last time.
The Supreme Being of the Northern Dipper's Forbidden Zone is the one Cao Ya will intervene to help Ye Fan defend against.
In the original story, Ye Fan was undergoing his tribulation and killed Cang Lan, who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Overlord Body. He then encountered the remaining Old Overlord and the attack from the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, and was forced to flee. He relied on the explosion of the Immortal Bell Imprint to erase his traces and escape from danger, thus recovering and recuperating from his injuries.
This time, with Cao Ya in charge, he didn't have to be in such a sorry state.
Of course, Xuanming and Kungu are also formidable opponents for Ye Fan. Even if he has achieved great success, he must still be cautious in dealing with them.
Are there any weaklings who can reach this extraordinary state of enlightenment?
"Are those ancient supreme beings worried? Heh, it's good that they misunderstood. The more time they have, the better. When Ye Fan succeeds and breaks through the heavenly tribulation, it will be too late for them to make a move." Cao Ya thought to himself, sitting calmly like Mount Tai, showing no sign of anxiety.
With a "hum," green light swirled around, and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate stood tall. With this divine weapon, Cao Ya's speed could be improved to another level.
The Emperor's Seal and the Eternal Blue-Gold Sword remained silent, without releasing any magical power.
"No rush, no rush," Cao Ya muttered to himself.
"Boom!"
!
The lightning was so intense, a sight rarely seen throughout history. Even stars turned to ashes in an instant after being struck by the lightning. Such ferocity made even the Great Sage and the Quasi-Emperor wary, and even feel fear.
"Buzz..."
The Great Completion Overlord Body "Declaration" did not directly take action, but instead released its domineering aura, announcing its existence. This made Ye Fan wary, preventing him from fully focusing his mind and body on dealing with the great calamity.
