"Cao Ya!" The voice of the Evil Heavenly Dao was no longer indifferent, but filled with even more anger!
With a deafening roar, boundless malice surged forth, engulfing the universe and defiling the stars!
"Your grandfather is here!" Cao Ya said indifferently, though his face was pale, his eyes shone even brighter! He had already used his "three heads and six arms" supernatural power!
Killing Qingtian, Yufeng Wang, and Hun Dunzi is no challenge; there's no need to exert all one's strength.
However, how could Cao Ya be careless about the oppressive power of the Evil Heavenly Dao and the malice of a six-star peak expert?!
"Hoo." With one hand forming a hand seal, he used the [Smiling with a Flower] technique to strengthen his Dao heart.
Even so, Cao Ya still felt a splitting headache in all three of his heads. For a moment, it seemed as if countless voices were echoing in his mind, roaring and howling, with a twisted quality.
【The Tomb of the Gods】The universe originally had its own way of heaven, without good or evil, without spirit or wisdom. It operated normally according to the rules of heaven and earth, nurturing all spirits and developing various brilliant and dazzling cultivation civilizations, illuminating the past and present.
However, as living beings multiply, the seven emotions and six desires follow them like a shadow, and those desires are extremely intense.
When the desires of all living beings are gathered, they permeate the Way of Heaven in reverse, giving it a spirit, and causing it to fall directly!
Thus, the evil Heavenly Way came into being!
In pursuit of advancement, they continuously destroyed worlds, compressing the starry sky region. After billions of years, it shrank by dozens of times!
Now, there is even greater hope that the universe will be completely destroyed. All living beings, inanimate objects, energy, laws, and everything else will be devoured and returned to the evil Heavenly Way!
At that time, encompassing an entire universe, the Evil Heavenly Dao will surely reach the seventh star level! Incredibly powerful!
And all spirits, without a doubt, are dead and silent; there will be no living beings left.
The Chaos Clan might even believe that their birth, occurring outside the universe, did not belong to the evil Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, it is no longer considered an object to be swallowed.
But such a thought is destined to fail. Even a small mosquito leg is still meat, and the evil Heaven will not let it go.
If you really need subordinates to run errands, just create a few clones, and that's it.
Besides, with the end of the [God's Tomb] universe and the arrival of the Evil Heavenly Dao, does it still need subordinates? It poses no threat anymore.
The evil Heavenly Way gathers all the evil of all living beings, and the power of such desires is simply indescribable!
Although Cao Yadao's heart was firm and he possessed techniques such as "Smiling at the Flower," he still found it difficult to withstand the pressure. He struggled to resist, but if he was even slightly careless, his defenses would be completely breached, and he would be corrupted by the evil Heavenly Dao and reduced to a puppet.
No matter the universe or the era, the clash of minds is the most dangerous thing!
"Hmm." Cao Ya groaned, his brows furrowed, various mysteries protecting him.
The Niwan Palace world withstood the power of the evil Heavenly Dao, and even those that fell could not suppress the physical body.
After all, the true form of the Evil Heavenly Dao is still in the Ninth Heaven and has not descended.
Even with immense power, crossing the void will result in some loss of strength, causing a drop in destructive power.
Furthermore, Cao Ya's overall strength is already at the pinnacle of the six-star high level, approaching the peak of the six-star level!
"Sigh, a hair's breadth makes all the difference!" Cao Ya muttered to himself.
Six-star level, the strongest peak level, is very rare in all universes.
Elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels are relatively common and more numerous.
In the universe of "God's Tomb," the first three tiers are at the level of the Heaven-Defying King. The two major factions combined include Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, the Ghost Lord, Chen Zhan, Chen Nan, Qing Tian, the Chaos King, and Taishang, exceeding the number on one hand. However, in the final tier, since ancient times, only the Evil Heavenly Dao has ever existed.
The same applies to the universes such as the [Eternal Life Realm], [Desolate Era], and [Sacred Ruins].
Of course, the biggest difference is definitely between the peak of six stars and the initial stage of seven stars!
"If it were truly at the initial stage of the Seven Stars realm, any evil Heavenly Dao could be shattered into dust with a single slap."
"Reversing cause and effect, altering time and space, tracing back to the past, and occupying the future are not difficult things."
Cao Ya sighed. He was aware that even though he was at the level of a Heaven-Defying King, he was at most just a high-level Popularity.
At the peak of six stars, there's basically no hope left. As for the initial stage of seven stars... one can only hope for something else!
Below, Dugu Baitian, the "First Forbidden God of the Primordial Era," also moved very quickly. With a wave of his left hand, another Taiji God and Demon Diagram belonging to him fell down in an instant, surging with ancient Dao principles.
"Buzz..." The Chaos King's soul power was completely devoured, without any waste.
This strongest member of the Chaos Clan, a being of the Heaven-Defying King level, has thus perished.
Even the evil Heavenly Dao couldn't save it! The soul imprint also collapsed.
At the same time, Chen Zhan shouted: "The ages have passed in a flash! All ages are empty!"
The two powerful divine abilities manipulated time, weakening Tai Shang. Even with "forgetfulness and egolessness," he couldn't avoid it, severely injuring Chen Zhan and causing blood to flow through the sky. Then, Chen Zhan made a hand seal and struck out with his palm, shattering Tai Shang!
"I am willing to give up all my power, as long as my soul imprint remains. Even if my memories and consciousness are erased, and I am reincarnated to start from scratch, I have no objection," Taishang said quickly.
Although it was begging for mercy, it had lost consciousness and its memories were gone. Even if the essence of its soul had not changed, it was essentially a different life form.
However, since he was "forgetful of emotions," he didn't care about these things at all.
The only thing that matters is the essence of my own existence, regardless of the form it takes!
"With so much blood on your hands, how can you continue to live like this?" Chen Zhan's answer was crisp and decisive.
The Supreme Being pursues the "Way of Heaven," abandoning the seven emotions and six desires, and having no feelings whatsoever.
Although the consciousness of evil Heaven's Way was somewhat "disappointing" to him, that kind of power was also something he was pursuing.
For countless years, the Supreme One followed the evil Heavenly Way, slaughtering all living beings and ending one era after another.
The number of lives lost at his hands is well over 100 million.
If it's a duel between cultivators, and a major battle breaks out due to resources, treasures, or cultivation techniques, that's nothing unusual.
But among those lost souls, the largest proportion were ordinary people!
How could Chen Zhan, a chivalrous and heroic man, possibly agree to the Supreme Lord's request?
Even if his memories are erased, if the Supreme Being's true spirit were to be reincarnated, he would surely rise to prominence and become a powerful figure in the region!
Of course, there's no time for that anymore; the final battle has already begun.
"All is emptiness!" Chen Zhan repeatedly activated the great killing technique, and beams of destructive light stirred up time, attracted countless starlight, and anchored the Supreme Being.
"Hiss." The Supreme Being's magical power was suppressed by the starlight, and as time flowed by, it all dissipated.
With a muffled groan, Tai Shang's usually expressionless face turned pale, and his breath became weak.
Under Chen Zhan's fierce attack, Tai Shang's physical body gradually crumbled, and divine blood flowed out.
Ultimately, the Supreme Being's physical body completely collapsed, and his cultivation was reduced by more than half.
"Heaven and earth are annihilated!" Chen Zhan's deadly attack was unmatched by Tai Shang, causing his body and spirit to shatter!
"What a pity, I haven't seen what it means to be above the Heaven-Defying King level, a cultivation realm comparable to the Evil Heavenly Dao!" Tai Shang sighed, showing a rare emotional fluctuation at the moment of his death, seemingly filled with regret.
The Evil Heavenly Way was born from the convergence of the universe's origins and the taint of the evil thoughts of all living beings.
However, it was not achieved through cultivation. It is completely different from the innate gods and demons born from the world.
“Perhaps, the Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor can…” Tai Shang looked up, his gaze fixed on Cao Ya.
Can an acquired life form truly cultivate to the level of a Heaven-Defying King?
Finally, with a bang, the Supreme Spiritual Consciousness vanished, leaving only a mark.
"Boom!!" Suddenly, a vast and powerful divine light of law surged down from the heavens, attempting to draw away the soul imprint of the Supreme One. However, just as the Azure Heaven, the Chaos King, and the Evil Heavenly Dao could not take away the imprint, the Supreme One could not succeed even after his death.
"Whoosh!" Cao Ya erupted, divine light surged, and chaotic mist burst forth, severing heaven and earth!
Chen Zhan made his move, using the "Heaven and Earth Annihilation" technique again, erasing that soul imprint.
Then, Chen Zhan waved his hand, and all of the Supreme One's soul power surged out and was taken away by Dugu Baitian.
Having obtained another remnant of a Heaven-Defying King-level being, the Divine Demon Diagram belonging to Dugu Baitian has undergone changes.
A unique principle began to emerge, spreading throughout the world and summoning ancient heroic spirits!
Chen Zhan didn't get involved in the soul summoning, but like the Ghost Lord, he turned to help others and killed those who defied the heavens!
With the addition of the Netherworld Ghost Lord and Chen Zhan, the heroes immediately gained a clear advantage!
Two Heaven-Defying King-level beings were able to kill Heaven-Defying level beings, which shows how powerful they are!
"Ah!!" Hei Shou Guangyuan screamed in terror. Under Chen Nan's attack, his hair was disheveled and covered in blood.
"Boom." Chen Nan expanded his inner world, creating a vast realm with dazzling starlight. He suppressed Guang Yuan and pierced through the body of this ancient black hand, leaving it riddled with holes and bleeding profusely.
Guangyuan felt a pang of fear and wanted to escape, but Cao Ya stood there on the path leading to the Ninth Heaven.
When faced with the evil Heavenly Dao, Cao Ya was at a disadvantage.
But even a wisp of the aftershock from that terrifying collision of auras was enough to severely injure someone of the Heaven-Defying level!
Guangyuan, already wounded, would likely be annihilated in the blink of an eye if he intervened.
Besides, why would Chen Nan give him such an opportunity?
"Die!" Chen Nan's speed surpassed the speed of light, and time seemed to stand still.
His fists shattered spacetime and pierced through Guangyuan's terrified eyes!
"Demon Lord!" Chen Nan's inner world is very special and extremely perfect. It has the potential to grow into a universe, and Cao Ya is blocking the fifth heaven, thus cutting off the evil heavenly path's grasp.
Chen Nan bestowed Guangyuan's soul imprint and vast soul power upon the Demon Lord.
"Whoosh." On the platform where the general was to be appointed, the diagram of gods and demons seemed to come alive, constantly rising and falling.
"Human King, I am willing to surrender..." Having witnessed the fall of Chaos King, Youluo King, Taishang, Guangyuan, as well as Qingtian, Yufeng King, and Chaos Child, Kuimu King was afraid.
Especially when he faced Wang Yuxin directly, he was no match for her and was at a complete disadvantage.
"Rumble." Yu Xin's response was also quite concise, as she waved the Primordial Banner and shattered the starry sea!
Soon after, King Kui Mu also died suddenly, following in the footsteps of other Chaos Clan kings and nobles.
"Kill!!" "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maiden" shouted, her voice melodious yet carrying a strong murderous aura.
The enormous celestial beast leader let out a mournful howl and died under the "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens'" ultimate move!
"Boom..." Under the combined attack of the heroes, the various heavenly beasts and giant leaders were undoubtedly in grave danger and died quickly.
Neither the soul power nor the mark was wasted; they were all absorbed by Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord's Divine Demon Diagram.
At the same time, with the help of this group of heaven-defying experts, the remaining billions of celestial beasts and giants also met their end. The immortals and gods roared, unleashing one killing move after another, fighting to the point of madness!
The Tomb Keeper, Xuanxuan, Dugu Xiaoxuan, Moon Goddess, Dugu Xiaoyue, Heavenly Demon, Hei Qi, Evil Lord, Western Land Totem, Demon Master, Chen Family Eight Souls...
They were all outstanding warriors, having killed opponents at the Heavenly Rank and were invincible!
In the end, all the celestial beasts perished, all the giants fell, and all the lackeys of the evil Heavenly Path perished.
“Now, only the final... Evil Heavenly Dao remains!” Chen Nan looked up, his eyes filled with determination.
Everyone looked up and saw Cao Ya's figure, surrounded by various colors of light, with a Niwan Palace world above his head, bursting out with complex and mysterious laws, fighting against the divine laws of the evil Heavenly Dao!
That performance was simply incredible, surpassing all of ancient history!
"If Cao Ya is given time, perhaps he can truly achieve something unprecedented... break through to the realm of the Evil Heavenly Dao!" Dugu Baitian said softly, also expressing his admiration.
In fact, among the group of heaven-defying and heaven-defying kings, Cao Ya's cultivation time was basically the shortest!
People like Chen Nan and the new "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens" all have past lives and left behind their legacy.
But Cao Ya... everyone knows that Cao Ya is truly without a past!
Unlike Chen Zhan, who severed ties with the past!
"Time is running out. We have no choice but to fight the Evil Heavenly Dao. We may all die, but as long as we can win, it will be worth it even if we all perish," the Demon Lord said in a deep voice.
As they spoke, two diagrams of gods and demons, one above the other, protected the immortals and deities.
"This time, if we fail..." The God of Time and Space took a deep breath, gambling everything in ancient history, he absolutely could not lose!
"Death is inevitable, I'm used to it." Wang Yuxin's fair and snow-white face was filled with determination.
"Hurry up, summon back the masters of history!" the Ghost Lord reminded him.
"It's already underway." Dugu Baitian nodded. Having slaughtered so many celestial beasts, giants, as well as the Chaos King and the Supreme Being, his soul power had fallen into the Divine Demon Diagram, clearly fulfilling the conditions.
"Fallen heroes, it's the final battle! Awaken, all of you!"
Before the words were even finished, intense soul fluctuations resounded between the two divine and demonic paintings!
Under the excited gazes of the immortals and gods, in all directions, in places where soul fluctuations were intense, an incomparably terrifying aura began to revive!
"The strongest swordsman in history!"
"The strongest swordsman in history!"
"The strongest fighting god in history!"
"The strongest fire god in history!"
...
Heroes and beauties renowned throughout history have awakened one after another, unleashing an awe-inspiring power!
To be called the "strongest in history" on a single path speaks volumes about their strength!
It would be strange if it didn't reach the level of being heaven-defying!
Some minor deities and demons, even if weaker, are no less powerful than Hei Qi and Xitu Totem, reaching the pinnacle of the Heavenly Rank, only a hair's breadth away from the Heaven-Defying Rank.
It is not surprising that such a scene occurs. After all, they fought a great war with the evil Heavenly Dao camp before the Primordial Era and died one after another. Even now, only a few of them still have their spiritual consciousness and can meet the conditions for reincarnation.
"The final battle? We didn't miss it, so it's not a regret!" The gods and demons laughed.
Regardless of age or gender, they were all filled with boundless pride!
Many of them were old acquaintances of Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, the Ghost Lord, and the Tomb Keeper.
However, they were all taken aback when they discovered Cao Ya!
"That's... a powerful figure from later generations? In fact, he could rival the fully revived Evil Heavenly Dao with his own strength?!" The gods and demons were astonished. What kind of power was this?
Absolutely surpasses the level of the Heaven-Defying King!
The strongest among them was only at the peak of the Heaven-Defying level, touching the threshold of the Heaven-Defying King level, but failing to advance.
Throughout history, excluding those in the evil Heavenly Dao camp and the anti-Heavenly Army, there are only five Heavenly King-level figures: Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, the Ghost Lord, Chen Zhan, and Chen Nan!
"Everyone, now is not the time for sentimentality! Zhan Tian, we have reached a critical moment!"
"The power of every single person is important!"
Dugu Baitian spoke, and his voice carried far and wide, so that everyone could hear it.
"Haha, Dugu Baitian is right. We can't just leave this heavy burden entirely to Cao Ya, the Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor! After all, we are seniors in terms of age—even though our strength has declined!"
A group of gods and demons were full of fighting spirit and eager to fight against the evil Heavenly Dao!
Even if it means death, I will weaken the evil Heavenly Dao!
"Whoosh." The heroes flew through the air, forming an ancient killing formation under the guidance of Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, the Ghost Lord, and Chen Zhan!
"Boom!!" However, at this moment, the Evil Heavenly Dao seemed to sense it and unleashed even more boundless power, its Dao principles surging, severely injuring Cao Ya!
"Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor!!"
