"You don't recognize me?" Emperor Sancan was surprised. A mere Dao Lord dared to laugh in front of him? Was he scared out of his wits?
“I know you.” Cao Ya smiled slightly. The Three Silkworm Emperor was actually quite notorious in the other universe. He was a great demon who had committed many evils and crimes!
However, the Three Silkworm Emperor himself was strong enough that ordinary emperors and even some top-tier emperors were no match for him.
Naturally, even the most powerful Dao Lords who have reached the edge of the Dao Integration stage using two or more of the strongest Daos would find it difficult to rival the Three Silkworm Emperor.
Basically, within the other universe, only the Lord of the Divine Court, or the Sixteen Star Lords, or at the very least, some powerful divine generals, could kill the Three Silkworm Emperor.
The problem is, the Three Silkworm Emperor is also discerning; he dares not touch any of the people associated with these powerful figures!
In this situation, the person's cruelty will almost certainly go unpunished.
It should be understood that in the world of cultivation, there is no clear distinction between the righteous path and the evil path. As long as a peerless demon does not provoke you or start to destroy the world and incur the wrath of the masses, generally speaking, experts will not bother with him.
Moreover, among all the paths in the universe, there are quite a few related to death, destruction, and slaughter.
Therefore, relying on his own strength and composure, although cruel, the Three Silkworm Emperor still roamed freely in the other universes, and countless chaotic eras have passed. No matter how many people hate him, it has no effect.
It wasn't until many years ago, when he offended Emperor Fu Bo and was hunted down, that his situation took a sharp turn for the worse, leaving him in a sorry state!
The whole thing started because the Three Silkworm Emperor was greedy. He found out about the Fu Bo Emperor and bestowed a treasure—"Purple Thunder Cold Flame"—on his second disciple.
This treasure is rare and extremely suitable for enlightenment. It brings a clear and tranquil mind and is of great help to a Daoist master!
Back then, the Purple Thunder Cold Flame played a significant role in enabling Emperor Fu Bo to achieve eternity, which is why he bestowed it upon his beloved second disciple, hoping that this successor who had followed him the longest could also achieve eternity!
However, after learning the news, Emperor Sancan was filled with greed and secretly plotted to kill Emperor Fubo's second disciple and obtain the "Purple Thunder Cold Flame"!
This time, Emperor Fu Bo was completely enraged!
"Even a kind-hearted person like Emperor Fu Bo has been offended by you. Emperor Sancan, you are a demon with countless blood debts, you truly deserve to die!"
Cao Ya spoke, his smile fading. He considered himself not a good person, and could be ruthless and decisive when necessary. However, he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor would he target cultivators who had no connection with him for the sake of a treasure that had an owner!
Those unclaimed treasures, which are contested by multiple cultivators, are a different matter altogether.
Upon hearing this, the Three Silkworm Emperor's expression darkened, and he scrutinized the man, asking, "Are you Emperor Fu Bo's disciple?"
After being hunted down by Emperor Fu Bo for many years, he was terrified of this emperor of the Fu Dao lineage!
Before assassinating his second disciple and seizing the Enlightenment Treasure, Emperor Fu Bo was inconspicuous throughout the entire Destroyed Divine Court. He was just a kind-hearted person who would often not cause trouble even if his own interests within the Divine Court were harmed.
For this reason, everyone believes that although Emperor Fu Bo is eternal and belongs to the top-tier emperors, he is not necessarily strong, but he is definitely not weak. Yet he is so cowardly, which is truly despicable!
Emperor Sancan was also contemptuous. Although he had tried to cover up his murder and robbery, he did not pay much attention to it and did not think that Emperor Fubo could be a threat to him!
After discovering the culprit, Emperor Fu Bo was furious. He left his lair and directly targeted Emperor Sancan, beginning his hunt... And this was the beginning of Emperor Fu Bo's rise to fame throughout the other universe!
No one expected that the seemingly kind-hearted Emperor Fu Bo would possess such terrifying strength, approaching that of the Sixteen Star Lords!
The Three Silkworm Emperor was no match for him at all; he was beaten to a pulp in no time!
Of course, with countless years of accumulation, the Three Silkworm Emperor had also accumulated a great deal of resources through murder and robbery. Relying on his life-saving treasure, he managed to get rid of the Fu Bo Emperor and took the lead in hiding in the ancient domain. He carefully concealed all his aura and dared not show himself in public again.
Even the Three Silkworm Emperors gave "Purple Thunder Cold Flame" to Emperor Fu Bo, hoping to quell the anger of this kind-hearted man!
But the Three Silkworm Emperor didn't know that an angry, easygoing person is the most terrifying!
Emperor Fu Bo has already declared that even if millions of Chaos Eras pass, as long as he is still alive, he will surely kill Emperor Sancan!
Therefore, whenever Emperor Fu Bo was mentioned, Emperor Sancan was both shocked and angry, and also very afraid!
It was only from this point on that people realized that among all the great figures in the Fu Dao lineage, including the Star Lords and Divine Generals who destroyed the Divine Court in the entire alien universe, Emperor Fu Bo was ranked first!
"A mere Dao Lord, yet you dare to spout such nonsense? Who gave you the audacity?" Emperor Sancan sneered.
He may not be able to defeat Emperor Fu Bo, but what does it matter? Ever since Emperor Fu Bo revealed his true power, it has shocked the other universe. Even ordinary star lords would find it difficult to defeat Fu Bo!
It is said that the Lord of the Destruction Divine Court is even considering whether to bestow the title of "Star Lord" upon Emperor Fu Bo!
It should be noted that the three rulers, including the Black Emperor, are merely Star Lords—even the strongest "Ancient Star Lord"!
Therefore, while the Three Silkworm Emperor was certainly unwilling to lose to Fu Bo, he did not consider it a humiliation.
However, he also did not believe that any Dao Lord had the right to be presumptuous in front of him!
Unless one is the most powerful Dao Lord, then one can fight him. But for that kind of Dao Lord, the first requirement is the fusion of two or more of the strongest Daos. Secondly, one must reach the peak of the fourth step and be on the verge of merging with the Dao!
The second-level Dao Lord, which is the strongest Dao, has broken through the edge of the Dao Integration stage, but is by no means a match for the Three Silkworm Emperor!
As for the Dao Lords below them, there's not much to say; the Three Silkworm Emperors could kill them with a flick of their wrists!
He was unaware that above the most powerful Dao Lord, there was another type of Ultimate Dao Lord!
"You are not on the verge of attaining the Dao..." Emperor Sancan sized you up and quickly spoke with certainty.
The Dao Lords on the verge of attaining the Dao have touched upon eternity, and their overall situation is somewhat special.
Cao Ya doesn't possess that unique charm!
Having realized this, the Three Silkworm Emperor became even more confident. So what if the person in front of him had fused two or three of the strongest paths, possessed amazing comprehension, and had a bright future?
How could anyone who hasn't reached the edge of the Dao Integration stage possibly be a match for a top-tier emperor like him?!
Indeed, the Three Silkworm Emperor's calculations were correct. Cao Ya was only a second-step Dao Lord and only had one strongest Dao. In terms of combat power alone, he was far inferior to the Three Silkworm Emperor and would be easily killed!
However, with so many extraordinary systems, once Cao Ya unleashes his full power, he could easily defeat not only ordinary top-tier emperors, but even some of the more powerful top-tier emperors!
With neither the Overlord nor the Lord of the Holy City present, Cao Ya fears no Eternal Emperor!
Otherwise, how could Cao Ya have traversed the ancient realm without any concealment, appearing quite unrestrained?
Basically, Cao Ya is not afraid of the master of the Destroyer of the Divine Court or the Sixteen Star Lords, as long as they do not descend directly. Even if the gods show themselves, Cao Ya will not be afraid at all!
Of course, Cao Ya would not underestimate the Three Silkworm Emperor. This demon acts cruelly, yet he can roam freely in another universe. Besides his keen eyesight, his extraordinary strength is also crucial!
However, Cao Ya maintained a fairly calm demeanor, which gave the Three Silkworm Emperor the wrong impression.
"You know my name, yet you remain so calm and fearless..."
The Three Silkworm Emperor narrowed his eyes. Reaching the level of Dao Lord means no longer comprehending the myriad paths of heaven and earth, but rather opening up one's own path, the one most suitable for oneself. No matter how naturally divine one is, apart from a very few special life forms born from chaos, the vast majority of beings are still rich in cultivation experience. They may not be cunning and shrewd, but they are deep in thought and not innocent and naive!
"Why should I be afraid of you? I was chased like a stray dog by Emperor Fu Bo." Cao Ya said calmly.
"Your trump card is a priceless artifact that allows you to travel through space, isn't it?"
The Three Silkworm Emperor's expression darkened slightly, and he spoke softly, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
The reason he appeared instead of continuing to hide and evade Emperor Fu Bo's pursuit was because he had noticed Cao Ya's movements.
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? What does it have to do with you?" Cao Ya raised an eyebrow.
"To be able to so easily tear apart the void of the ancient domain and traverse such a vast distance... Ha, your abilities are certainly beyond my reach!"
Based on related speculation, Emperor Sancandi believed that this person must possess a Void Treasure!
What he lacks most right now is this kind of treasure, which he can use to avoid Emperor Fu Bo!
After being hunted for many years and consuming two life-saving artifacts, the Three Silkworm Emperor hid in the ancient domain, taking advantage of the special environment there to conceal himself. In any other place, he simply could not hide!
Normally, he only keeps a watchful eye on the outside world and never shows himself, because alarming Emperor Fu Bo would mean a great crisis!
However, Cao Ya's situation gave him hope. With this rare treasure, he could completely shake off Emperor Fu Bo and roam freely again, dominating the other universes, instead of being a stray dog, hiding in the ancient domain in fear and barely surviving!
Even if they meet face to face, he can easily leave by activating the Void Treasure, showing no fear whatsoever of Emperor Fu Bo!
Seeing hope, the Three Silkworm Emperor took the risk... In truth, he didn't think it was putting himself in danger!
Killing a Dao Lord, as long as it's not the most powerful one, is an extremely simple matter for him!
"Whether it can be done or not, you'll soon find out." Cao Ya calmly took the lead and made the first move. A burst of light was unleashed in an instant, its brilliance enough to deceive even the senses of an ordinary emperor!
Not only his Path of Light, but also all kinds of laws of light, filled the area, multiplying its power!
Then, Cao Ya made a hand seal, and sword light descended, sweeping across the sky, and madly attacked the Three Silkworm Emperor!
"A mere trick!" Emperor Sancan sneered. The nine poisonous tumors on his forehead suddenly began to shake. With a whoosh, poisonous light emanated from them, and a putrid stench spread rapidly, causing dizziness. An ordinary emperor would probably die on the spot from the poison!
The Three Silkworm Emperor wore a cold smile, and he could almost see this overconfident Dao Lord being poisoned and knocked to the ground!
"I must be careful not to let it use the Void Treasure and escape from my grasp!"
The Three Silkworm Emperor whispered, "That 'treasure' is related to my freedom, whether I can continue to roam freely in the other universe and do evil!"
But to his surprise, despite the pervasive poisonous light, Cao Ya was completely unharmed. A burst of the Daoist aura of reincarnation erupted, which in turn extinguished the poisonous light, and with a hiss, they all dissipated!
"What?" Emperor Sancan stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous!
You must know that he is an outstanding figure among the top emperors, and this poison path has been cultivated for many chaotic eras, relying on eternity. Even the most powerful Dao Lord would not dare to easily confront it head-on!
However, Cao Ya seemingly effortlessly wiped away the poisonous light, unaffected in any way.
"Could it be that he has other defensive treasures?" Emperor Sancan's eyes lit up.
Cao Ya chuckled inwardly. A defensive treasure? He had nothing; he relied entirely on various laws to kill his enemies!
"In fact, I have a divine axe that I have been forging for trillions of years. Unfortunately, although the Bright Light Path is my foundation, it is not the source of my confrontation with the Emperor. Taking it out would be meaningless."
Cao Ya sighed softly. In the past, what he had mastered was only at the Dao Lord level, not even on the verge of Dao Integration!
To contend with the Eternal Emperor, regardless of sword intent, the profound mysteries of laws, or knife intent, the realm of reincarnation, etc., all of them originate from other universes and are practiced by other Cao Ya. He has shared them!
"Well, thinking about it carefully, what does it matter? They're all mine!" Cao Ya muttered to himself.
"Boom!!" He unleashed a vast expanse of laws, profound and turbulent, intertwining across the sky. Within a radius of hundreds of billions of miles, everything trembled, and space itself shattered inch by inch. Celestial bodies within this area were also completely pulverized!
However, Cao Ya sensed with his divine sense that there was no life within a radius of trillions of miles.
Without any reservations, Cao Ya's actions were simple and brutal, forcefully killing the Three Silkworm Emperor!
But this only gave the Three Silkworm Emperors the illusion that Cao Ya truly possessed a supreme treasure, and more than one!
"Very well! I'll kill you, and everything you own will be mine!" Emperor Sancan sneered.
"Kill!!!" Emperor Sancan roared, breaking through the laws and facing the onslaught of profound mysteries, going against the current. His figure, emanating poisonous light, arrived hundreds of millions of miles away. The Great Dao surged, and the power of origin roared, pulling down and blasting towards Cao Ya's location!
Cao Ya roared to the sky, spitting out endless sword light that pierced the poisonous light and shattered it all!
"Let's finish this quickly! Once I've dealt with you and obtained all the treasures, I'll refine them and then I won't be afraid even if Emperor Fu Bo comes to kill me."
The Three Silkworm Emperor's eyes burned with fervor, and his desire to kill Cao Ya grew stronger and stronger!
He knew very well that this place was an ancient domain, and everyone knew that he was hiding here!
Emperor Fu Bo is not only the true self, but also has Dao talisman avatars that travel through the Land of Origin and the Ancient Domain, searching for his whereabouts.
Despite the vastness of the ancient domain and the fact that it was still trillions of miles away from Emperor Fu Bo, such a huge commotion was still very noticeable and easily perceived by top-tier cultivators!
Cao Ya's Dao principles are complex and numerous, including swordsmanship, light, darkness, fire, lightning, and reincarnation. The path is very broad, and it appears in one person, which is astonishing. No one recognizes Cao Ya and does not know his identity.
The Great Dao of the Three Silkworm Emperor is particularly remarkable, and anyone who has lived a long time will remember it!
Not to mention Emperor Fu Bo, who hates him to the bone!
"That's... the Daoist aura of the Three Silkworm Emperors?!"
In the far distance, within a floating mountain peak, there is an ordinary cave dwelling with two people inside.
One was Emperor Fu Bo, and the other was his disciple; the master and disciple were talking.
Suddenly, Emperor Fu Bo was stunned, and then his whole body trembled, becoming extremely excited!
