"Hmm, there's something unusual about the world of Lord Jidu." The eyes of the Holy Realm experts, including Donghuang Taiyi, Chaos Demon Insect, Chaos Demon Rabbit, and Chaos Ferocious Shark, flickered slightly, as if they had noticed something special.
Demon Ancestor Rahu examined the situation, nodded, and said, "It seems that this is related to the Holy Realm Path of Lord Ketu. Relying on that plane, it cannot be lost."
As he spoke, Rahu chuckled softly. He was indeed a man of astonishing talent, but unfortunately, he was destined for destruction.
The demon gods, however, appeared surprised. The Path to Sainthood? Judging from the Demon Ancestor's tone and the situation of Jidu Star Lord, he was no ordinary saint; he was clearly aiming for the Primordial Chaos Realm!
It should be understood that even among those at the weakest level of Hunyuan, not everyone has fully comprehended the path ahead.
Moreover, even if one understands where the road ahead lies, whether one can step onto it, and whether one is qualified to walk to the end, are all questions that need to be answered.
More than half of the weak Primordial Chaos Realm demons are inferior to Lord Ketu in this respect.
This undoubtedly left them in disbelief and instilled in them a deep sense of dread regarding Ketu Star Lord.
"Lord Ketu, you are truly a man of extraordinary talent." Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Emperors Taoist praised.
Seeing Cao Ya's situation, I understood it perfectly and was very happy, looking forward to Cao Ya becoming a saint.
Their attainment of enlightenment was due to the fusion of the Three Sovereigns and the blessing of humanity, which enabled them to overcome the insurmountable barriers.
But as things stand now, the individual ability of Jidu Star Lord "Cao Ya" is more than sufficient.
The title "Primordial Dao Seed" is not an exaggeration, but rather quite apt.
"Interesting." Houtu, Nuwa, Daode Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and others also noticed it, and a look of scrutiny flashed across their faces.
Cao Ya's approach differed from that of most of the sages, which greatly interested them.
However, since they had already reached the Saint Realm, how could they possibly be envious of Cao Ya's magic? They merely examined it closely.
"Hmm?" Even powerful weak Hunyuan cultivators like Sun Wukong, Zhen Yuanzi, and Styx Daoist noticed it.
Compared to the sacred realm, they were undoubtedly more focused and their eyes were glued to it.
Everyone is pursuing sainthood, and having witnessed the Taoist methods of others, how could they not be curious?
Those demons and gods were generally full of malice, waiting for the Chaos Demon Bull to destroy Jidu Star Lord and use great magic to harvest the divine powers created by Cao Ya, so that they could trade and exchange what they had, in order to trigger something.
However, the countless immortals and demons were unaware of this and could not see through the strangeness of the Niwan Palace world. They only watched the great battle that could be described as a weak Hunyuan realm battle!
"Boom..." Beyond the realm of the Earthly Immortals, amidst the stars, a world spun and fell down.
The boundless weight, combined with potential energy, is simply unparalleled, capable of crushing the primordial heavens!
The Chaos Demon Bull swept its divine sense across the area and was immediately struck by its awe-inspiring presence. It swayed and revealed its true form.
"Buzz." The divine bull suddenly expanded, as if it were an ancient god, supporting the heavens.
No matter which dimension of space it is, it cannot restrain it. It is forcefully pushed up, its horns glowing, almost piercing through!
With a whoosh, the armor on the demon bull's body shimmered with magical energy, and purple divine light burst forth towards the sky.
"Bang!!" Cao Ya stood inside the black hole, circulating his magic incantations, which intertwined with profound mysteries, binding the two second-grade spiritual treasures.
The complex magical powers of "Mingguang Dao" and "Zhenhuang Baoshu" surged at the edge of the Niwan Palace world, both attacking the Chaos Demon Bull and protecting this world from destruction.
Even if there are scars, they are quickly repaired and basically unaffected, and will not hinder Cao Ya's cultivation.
In this confrontation, Cao Ya sought to challenge the Chaos Demon Bull and find the flaws in the "Cosmic Alchemy Classic".
But this doesn't mean he should take excessive risks. The safety of the Niwan Palace world is related to the subsequent cultivation of the "Cosmic Elixir Scripture," and whether he can become a saint depends on this.
If it is completely broken, it cannot be said that there is no hope, but the probability will indeed be greatly reduced.
Of course, because there are many extraordinary systems, many profound laws and unique skills are proficient in healing. They can not only be used to heal Cao Ya himself, but also to replenish the Niwan Palace world. With such confidence, Cao Ya was able to operate this world and still use it to fight enemies.
"Go!" Cao Ya shouted, and the Niwan Palace World crashed down, suppressing the Chaos Demon Bull and forcing it to use its horns to fight back. The purple armor was also partially drawn away from its protective power.
This gave Cao Ya an opportunity. Sword light splashed, blade energy filled the air, and the light of precious techniques and Buddhist teachings illuminated the profound mysteries of the laws, making it extremely dazzling.
"Boom!" However, the armor was tough and unbreakable, and no matter what moves Cao Ya made, it was difficult to break through.
"Haha, Lord Jidu, don't waste your energy. My defensive capabilities are already extremely strong, making me one of the best among my peers. I also have a carefully crafted second-grade armor. Even a weak Hunyuan Realm expert would not be able to injure me easily, let alone you."
The Chaos Demon Bull laughed arrogantly and said, "Without the Saint Realm taking action, no matter how powerful an unorthodox Saint is, it will be difficult to kill me! Even if a weak Primordial Chaos cultivator at the peak unleashes their ultimate move, I can still block one or two of them."
As it spoke, the Chaos Demon Bull's body rapidly shrank to the height of an ordinary person. It stood upright, its front hooves hard, its horns pointing to the sky, and with a bang, it forcefully overturned the Niwan Palace world.
The weight and potential energy of that world were partially borne by the demonic bull itself, while the remaining majority was borne by the armor. The purple light flickered but was not damaged.
"Swoosh!" At that moment, Cao Ya controlled the black hole, imbued it with all sorts of profound mysteries, and unleashed a fierce killing move to attack the Chaos Demon Bull.
"Clang! Clang!!!" In an instant, tens of thousands of collisions occurred, and divine light raged across the starry sea.
"Ugh." Cao Ya coughed up blood, and the black hole was completely annihilated, revealing its true form.
The Chaos Bull, however, was unharmed. It did possess a small amount of power that penetrated its armor and struck its body, but how powerful was it? It completely ignored such a small amount of energy.
"Lord Ketu, you can use your strange magic to weaken the Chaos Serpent, but here... hehe, there is only death for you!" The Chaos Demon Bull spoke with contempt.
However, its response was still serious and all-out, showing no underestimation of Cao Ya.
Those words were meant to provoke Cao Ya, to unsettle him and prevent him from maintaining his composure, so that he would create an opening during the attack and defense, giving Cao Ya a chance to strike him deadly.
But Cao Ya was a seasoned veteran; how could he be fooled? He remained calm and composed, pondering a countermeasure.
"Whoosh." A flash of fire, a burst of energy, and Cao Ya immediately recovered, once again confronting the demon bull head-on.
The two powerful beings engaged in a fierce battle in the outer space, fighting for their lives, their magic clashing and destroying the universe!
"This won't do! Just as the Demon Bull said, I can hold off the giant serpent, but because of that second-grade spiritual treasure level armor, I can't use the same strategy to hold my own against the Chaos Demon Bull!"
Cao Ya thought to himself, "The True Phoenix Treasure Technique is unique, but it requires energy to operate each time."
"Although the Niwan Palace world is vast and its storage is abundant, the Chaos Demon Bull's killing moves are ferocious. After injuring me, it is not easy to recover. Each recovery consumes a great deal of energy."
"The most important thing is that—if this continues, the mental fatigue is very difficult to cure; it requires a long period of time to slowly and gently heal it."
Cao Ya understood that his strategy had to be drastically different in both battles against the Chaos Demon God!
The previous battle was stalled by relying on the "True Phoenix Treasure Technique," but this time, a swift victory is required!
Unfortunately, the Chaos Demon Bull's armor was always on his body, causing Cao Ya a great deal of trouble.
Second-class spiritual treasures correspond to the peak of the six-star level. They are commonly used treasures by unconventional saints in the [Primordial] universe. They can resist attacks from the same level to a certain extent, demonstrating their strong protective capabilities.
In fact, without the bull's horns, Cao Ya wouldn't have needed to worry too much. The demon bull's attack could have been steady and methodical, gradually breaking through its armor and finally killing this divine bull that existed before the creation of the world!
The problem is that the bull's horns and the armor, one for offense and one for defense, are completely impenetrable.
"Keeper of the Stars, die!" the Chaos Demon Bull roared, its body transforming into demonic light. Its sharp horns pierced through the laws of the Great Dao, and fragments of light floated in the sky, a beautiful sight.
But countless immortals and demons knew that it was an extremely dangerous thing, and even a Great Luo Immortal dared not touch it.
The heroes also sighed, judging from the current situation, Jidu Star Lord was bound to be defeated!
Whether or not one can escape depends on whether Jidu Xingjun's escape technique is powerful enough.
"This is not good." People like the Three Sovereigns Taoist, Sun Wukong, as well as the Holy Mother of Ghosts, Nezha, Fairy Crimson Pearl, Goddess of Cold Fragrance, Heavenly Wounded Star, and Heavenly Lone Star all frowned, worried about Cao Ya's personal safety.
However, they were either blocked by demons or lacked the necessary cultivation and power, so they were unable to intervene.
The demons laughed, delighted to see the heroes of the human race perish throughout the universe.
The urgency of the battle was clear to outsiders, and Cao Ya, who was in the midst of it, was certainly well aware of it.
He was also thinking of ways to turn the tide of the battle; if all else failed, he would have no choice but to flee.
Even if he couldn't defeat them, Cao Ya was still quite confident he could escape.
"There's no rush, it hasn't come to that yet!" Cao Ya thought to himself, "More than half of my profound mysteries, precious techniques, and ultimate skills have to be used against the bull horn to prevent my true body from being pierced and suffering severe damage that even the True Phoenix Precious Technique cannot repair!"
"With them spread out like this, it's naturally impossible for them to cut through the purple armor and strike the demon bull directly."
"Unless, using special supernatural powers, one can bypass the armor and forcibly kill the mind of the Chaos Demon Bull..."
While fighting the Chaos Demon Bull, Cao Ya observed and examined the armor.
These second-class spiritual treasures are mainly for material defense. Although they also involve soul defense and mental defense, they lack the indestructibility of material defense and have a higher probability of being penetrated.
"However, when it comes to comparing one's Dao heart... well, this Chaos Demon Bull is one of the surviving demon gods. What major events hasn't it experienced? How could its heart be fragile?"
"In fact, those who can reach the weak Hunyuan realm all have incredibly clear Dao hearts."
"There's no other way but to take a gamble!"
"I possess techniques such as [A Smile While Plucking a Flower] and [Slaying the Dao to See Me], as well as the Great Daos of Reincarnation and Light. These can all be used to guard my mind. I believe I can achieve something."
Without hesitation, Cao Ya pointed his finger, drawing away the bull horn from the Niwan Palace world. Then, a mysterious interplay occurred, colliding with the demon bull's magic power and restraining a portion of the armor's capabilities.
"Now!" Cao Ya's eyes lit up, his expression turned solemn, and he formed hand seals, unleashing various ultimate techniques. Buddhist light and sword energy reflected into the demon bull's soul, seemingly constantly questioning it, making it doubt the legitimacy of its own existence, and leading it to its voluntary demise.
"Buzz." The Great Path of Reincarnation, the Path of Bright Light, and others were also making their efforts, pulling at the true spirit of the demonic bull.
The armor shimmered with purple light, but it could not completely block this killing move that aimed directly at the Dao Heart; it offered only slight resistance.
"Ah!!" The Chaos Demon Bull roared. It felt that its true spirit had entered the cycle of reincarnation, shining brightly and proclaiming eternity, seemingly with the hope of primordial chaos.
When it was alert, sword light flashed and Buddhist teachings permeated the air, causing it to be stunned and momentarily bewildered.
Although it had endured countless ages and possessed a steadfast Dao heart, some of Cao Ya's techniques came from powerful figures at the Seven Star or even Eight Star levels. Caught off guard, it was not surprising that the Chaos Demon Bull was caught off guard.
"Bang!" Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao Ya used his fingers like a divine sword to finally pierce a hole in the armor.
"Sizzle..." Blood spurted out immediately, and the Chaos Demon Bull was seriously injured for the first time!
At this moment, the demon bull broke free, regained consciousness, and, realizing its injuries, was both shocked and furious.
Countless immortals and demons witnessed this scene and were all dumbfounded.
Ketu Star Lord actually found an opportunity in dire straits and turned the tables on the Chaos Demon Bull?!
Even those from various sacred realms and weak Hunyuan realms were surprised and curious about Cao Ya's magic.
"Die!" The Chaos Demon Bull roared, its energy surging, blasting Cao Ya away.
However, with the activation of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, Cao Ya recovered completely. He was once again enveloped by techniques such as [Smiling with a Flower], [Slaying the Dao to See Me], the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and the Path of Bright Light, which disrupted the Demon Bull's divine soul.
After its initial success, the purple armor developed a flaw. Forget about soul defense, even its physical defense was no longer as perfect as it had been.
Therefore, even though the Chaos Demon Bull had begun to prepare, it still momentarily lost its focus. Though the time seemed brief, in a battle of this level, a mere flick of the finger could determine the outcome.
"How is this possible... I won't lose to you!" The Chaos Demon Bull was also bleeding, its face contorted, as if it couldn't accept the situation.
How did I suddenly fall into a disadvantageous position when I was clearly still in the lead?
Why are the supernatural powers of Ketu Star Lord so strange?
"Hiss!!" In fact, let alone it, every hero in the Three Realms was shocked!
Even the Three Emperors Daoist and the others were quite astonished, not expecting Cao Ya's performance to be so outstanding!
Indeed, Jidu Xingjun is very strong, but his opponent is a master in the weak Hunyuan realm!
Moreover, the Chaos Demon Bull possesses two second-grade spiritual treasures, while Cao Ya has none.
"How did Jidu Star Lord manage to turn the tables on us?!" The demons and gods found it all unbelievable.
But at this moment, if they wanted to rush to the aid of the Demon Bull, they were held back by powerful figures such as the Three Emperors Taoist.
"Let Jidu Star Lord and Chaos Demon Bull handle this fierce battle. We should not interfere."
The Three Sovereigns Daoist spoke with a smile, while the group of demon gods, their faces grim, unleashed their auras, shaking the primordial world. However, Nuwa, Houtu, the Moral Celestial Venerable, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, and others all stopped them.
Previously, they were the ones being blocked, but now the situation has reversed, and the roles of the two sides have been reversed.
"Lord Ketu, the strongest quasi-saint throughout history!" Countless immortals and demons looked up in awe.
"Too powerful!" People like the Ghostly Mother, Nezha, Crimson Pearl Fairy, Cold Fragrance Goddess, Heavenly Wounded Star, and Heavenly Lone Star also showed joy.
Only the Chaos Bull in the arena roared repeatedly, gritting its teeth, as it fought against Cao Ya.
"Don't even think about getting the better of me!" the demonic bull roared, its demonic voice shaking the sky and causing the stars to tremble.
"Hiss." The bull horn on its head pierced through the air, and even a wisp of its aftershock could extinguish a star.
"Bang!!" Although he had temporarily gained the upper hand, Cao Ya remained cautious and showed no arrogance.
We must be extremely careful!
Cao Ya knew very well that any carelessness in the face of a six-star peak expert would lead to immeasurable and painful consequences!
