"Let's go, Xueying, Batuchen, let's go take a look at that floating island."
Suddenly, the Demon Sword Master's eyes flickered, and as he spoke, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off into the distance.
"Whoosh!!" Dongbo Xueying and Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen immediately followed.
"Buzz..." At the same time, the illusionary realm technique and many small insects spread out to guard against unforeseen events and to gather information about the floating island.
In direct combat, the Demon Sword Master is the strongest among the three, but in other aspects, the other two have the advantage.
The trio complemented each other, trusted each other, and had no worries about being stabbed in the back. The atmosphere was harmonious, and they reaped great rewards along the way.
However, if you walk the dark road too often, you're bound to encounter ghosts. This time, however, you met an unusual character.
"Boom!!" The three of them had just stepped onto the floating island when they immediately sensed something was wrong, a feeling of oppression.
Logically speaking, given their abilities, if they joined forces, they could hold their own against even ordinary emperor-level opponents and wouldn't run away at the first sign of trouble.
There was no other way. Dongbo Xueying used the illusory realm to directly attack the Emperor-level soul, but he couldn't kill it directly. However, the opponent still had to disperse some of his power to defend against it.
The tension within the entire illusionary world should not be underestimated.
Dongbo Xueying, in particular, has already reached the second level in the Void Realm Path and has been doing so for some time. Although he has not made much progress in fusion, he has created a new killing move for the Void Realm Illusion lineage based on his existing insights.
This is the power of the rules system compared to the bloodline system.
The former, in the early to mid-stages of their cultivation, might not yet fully grasp the fundamentals, but after reaching the Cosmic God Realm, they understand every step they take with complete clarity. The latter, even upon reaching the God Emperor Realm, often only know the "what" but not the "why."
Naturally, cultivators can create secret techniques based on their own circumstances to amplify their magical power by tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times. As for bloodline systems, even a few times the amplification is considered impressive.
This is why, in battles between equals, the rule system often overwhelms the bloodline system.
Even with the same power, one side can unleash a hundred times more power, while the other side can only unleash ten times more at most. With this back and forth, how can the gap be small?
Therefore, even if Dongbo Xueying's mastery of the Void Realm Dao hasn't changed, his current combat performance is still superior to when he first broke through.
Otherwise, why would secret techniques and supernatural powers attract cultivators to fight to the death?
This trio, with Dongbo Xueying providing assistance and covering the illusory world of the virtual realm, had an excellent effect; Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen, who transformed into billions of forms and to a certain extent isolated from cause and effect, was extremely difficult to deal with and almost impossible to kill; and Demon Sword Venerable, who was already "ultimate" and whose sword attack was unparalleled in the world!
Their alliance, at the early stage of the Emperor level, is truly formidable! Even against a mid-stage Emperor level opponent, they can easily retreat without suffering any losses.
Unless you're at the late stage of the Emperor level, you're not very confident!
"This is bad. This aura is probably really from the late stage of the Emperor level!" Dongbo Xueying's expression changed.
"Retreat!" The Demon Sword Master acted decisively, his body enveloped in sword light, as he prepared to escape from the floating island.
"Hiss." Countless insects were also traversing the void.
However, at the center of the island, a sudden burst of pink light began to shimmer.
At this moment, whether it was Ba Tuochen, who had merged with the "Ultimate Realm" insect beast, or the Demon Sword Venerable who was aiming for the "Ultimate Realm" of the Destruction Path, or Dongbo Xueying who possessed the Void Realm Path, they all fell into an inexplicable fascination the instant they saw that pink divine light.
The three men's faces were flushed, their eyes were glazed, and countless tempting images flashed through their minds.
"Not good!" In the end, the three of them, relying on their skills and their strong will, finally woke up, their expressions becoming very solemn.
"It's it! The Nine-Tailed Monkey King!"
Without any explanation, the three immediately understood that who else but the Nine-Tailed Great Sage could possess such a law?
The supreme beings of the Broken Tooth Mountains, such as the Five Supreme Beings and the Eight Saints, are so powerful that they intimidate the entire world. Who would dare to disrespect them? The related news has also instilled fear in countless people.
And their experiences fit the characteristics only of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage!
Its allure is unparalleled throughout history; it is the most captivating creature in human history!
Even emperors, if they are not careful, can fall into the trap and become puppets of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage.
"Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage didn't target us. It seems he was just passively releasing his divine power and was affected by it. Otherwise... our clones would have been doomed."
The Demon Sword Master took a deep breath. Before the eight great saints, who were low-level primordial life forms, even if you were to destroy the "ultimate" path, you would still be extremely fragile.
"Sigh, this time, we might not be able to escape," murmured Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen.
Using the Void Realm Daoist Technique, Dongbo Xueying remained true to himself, suppressed his restless desires, raised his head, and gazed at the pink light screen in the center of the island, his expression turning somber.
The terrifying power of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage is self-evident; even their true forms, if present here, could not escape.
Fortunately, Dongbo Xueying and the Demon Sword Master were only clones. Even if they were destroyed, it would not affect the main problem. As for Ba Tuochen, there were countless insects, and some were hidden in the Realm Heart Continent, which was his backup plan. Even if all the ferocious insects here were wiped out, they would not be completely killed.
However, it will take quite a long time to recover.
Of course, it's better than dying and disappearing. Moreover, he explored dozens of floating islands and gained a lot. He had already brought back many good things to the Realm Heart Continent through Dongbo Xueying's other avatars, so there were no further losses.
Having mastered the Dao of Void and learned the most secret technique of the Lord of Nanyun Kingdom, Dongbo Xueying could create far more than several thousand clones. Using some as "laborers" would be no problem.
In this respect, neither the Path of Destruction nor the Path of Insects is as good as the Path of Void.
The roads to success are numerous, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and each excels in different areas.
However, with the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's overwhelming power, having any trump cards is meaningless.
"Should we go and challenge the Nine-Tailed Great Sage? Let's see just how powerful the Eight Great Sages really are!" Dongbo Xueying suddenly became eager to try.
The Demon Sword Master and the Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen exchanged a glance, both showing some interest.
To be able to spar with a low-level Chaos Origin life form at the late stage of the Emperor level... is indeed an extraordinary experience. Even if the clone dies, the memories can still be shared, allowing the main body to be moved.
"Haha, we've explored dozens of floating islands, and encountered quite a few early and mid-stage Emperor-level beings, but this is the first time we've encountered a late-stage Emperor-level being!" The Demon Sword Master laughed heartily and drew his longsword.
"You two, I'll go first." Ba Tuochen said, his figure disappearing, but countless insects scattered throughout the floating island, gnawing at the energy and biting through the laws.
"Whoosh!" The Demon Sword Master's eyes shone, and the profound mystery of the Path of Destruction resonated. He unleashed a unique spell, bursting forth with hundreds of times the power, displaying an incomparably powerful sword light as he charged forward!
"Fall." Dongbo Xueying shouted in his heart. The void changed, and a vast illusionary world suddenly descended to pull at the Nine-Tailed Great Sage, trying to shake the soul of this low-level Chaos Origin life form!
(
Unfortunately, these life forms originate from the universe, and even without talents like a soul, they are still difficult to conquer.
Not to mention the Nine-Tailed Great Sage, who is even stronger, and whose divine laws involve the soul, making him extremely ferocious.
Dongbo Xueying sensed that his illusory world had indeed touched a soul, but it was a solid whole, radiating an alluring charm that isolated him from the pull of the illusory world and protected him.
"It probably only weakened the Nine-Tailed Great Sage by about one and a half percent of his power."
Dongbo Xueying sighed and said in the Void Realm, "I no longer seek the fusion of the five meridians. If I break through to the ultimate level, even with the fusion of three or four meridians, I can create an even more powerful Void Realm killing move. Perhaps, I can reduce the strength of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage by more than 30%!"
This is still the Nine-Tailed Great Sage, who has considerable talent in the path of the soul.
If it were any of the other Great Saints, Dongbo Xueying estimated that their strength would decrease by forty or fifty percent!
"Now, we can only rely on the Sword Master! Ba Tuochen's situation is similar to mine. At most, it has distracted the Nine-Tailed Great Sage and has a certain restraining effect."
Despite this thought, Dongbo Xueying still tried his best to use the illusory realm to attack the Nine-Tailed Great Sage.
Just like those swarms of ferocious insects gnawing at the pink light screen.
Many insects died suddenly, but the others kept coming, seemingly without end.
"Whoosh!" The Demon Sword Master held his weapon, emitting a dazzling sword light, attempting to pierce through that pink area.
"Tear." However, the actions of the three seemed to have angered the Nine-Tailed Great Sage. A beautiful tail rose into the air and with a gentle flick, severely injured the three, causing blood to flow like a river.
"As expected of a Great Sage, he is indeed ferocious!" Ba Tuochen coughed up blood, his face turning deathly pale.
Beside them, the Demon Sword Master and Dongbo Xueying were in no better shape. They were almost completely exhausted and unable to fight anymore!
"One tail was enough to wipe us out instantly." The Demon Sword Master gave a bitter smile. The late-stage Emperor level was indeed abnormally strong!
“That peculiar Taoist technique…” Dongbo Xueying looked thoughtful.
He seemed to have been inspired by the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack.
Upon seeing this, both the Demon Sword Master and Ba Tuochen couldn't help but sigh, Dongbo Xueying's talent was truly extraordinary!
"Whoosh." Just then, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage retracted one of its tails, thus failing to kill the three clones.
"Huh?" The three of them were taken aback, a little confused. Why was he so easy to talk to?
However, before the three could leave, they saw a colossal creature emerge from within the island. It was a fox hundreds of millions of miles long, with nine tails dancing behind it and its fur standing on end, as if it had sensed some kind of threat!
Those large, alluring pupils flashed with a bloodthirsty glint.
However, the unique avenue did not inspire fear, but rather longing.
"Nine-Tailed Great Sage!" A familiar voice came from beyond the sky, followed by a streak of light that revealed the figure of the "Wind and Fire God".
"'The God of Wind and Fire'?!" The three were first surprised, then suddenly realized.
No wonder the Nine-Tailed Monkey King didn't unleash a second attack to kill them...
With Shi Yuanhuang defeated, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage sensed the arrival of the "Great God of Wind and Fire" and was naturally on high alert.
Cao Ya noticed the existence of Dongbo Xueying, the Demon Sword Master, and the Insect Ancestor Ba Tuochen, and nodded with a smile.
Then, his gaze fell on the giant beast.
“The Nine-Tailed Great Sage’s Dao principles are completely different from those of Emperor Shi Yuan,” Cao Ya murmured, quite satisfied.
It's precisely because there need to be distinctions that other rules can be promoted.
"Roar." The Nine-Tailed Great Sage's fur stood on end, its vertical pupils staring at Cao Ya, and it uttered a low threat.
If the Nine-Tailed Great Sage were willing to transform into human form, she would be incomparably beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world!
As a low-level primordial life form, its true form is a majestic divine beast that sends chills down one's spine.
Furthermore, the fact that the Nine-Tailed Great Sage could roam in a strange space and be ranked among the "Eight Great Sages" was also forged with countless lives.
"Although I'm not good at your talent, since I've encountered it, how can I not analyze it?"
Cao Ya grinned, his body swayed, and he suddenly appeared with three heads and six arms, performing various hand seals.
"Boom..." The boundless divine power of the Great Dao suddenly appeared and resounded throughout the floating island!
"Whoosh." Dongbo Xueying and the other two changed their expressions slightly and quickly retreated to observe from hundreds of millions of miles away from the island.
Such a great battle is something that even early and mid-stage Emperor-level beings wouldn't dare to approach, let alone them.
Just like that floating island in the distance, numerous members of the Dead Abomination Clan, including Emperor-level experts, remained entrenched on the island, none daring to venture out. Only countless eyes watched from afar, filled with awe.
"Bang!" Under the watchful eyes of all the powerful figures, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage landed on all fours, his nine tails raised, and pink divine light surged continuously, filling the void.
If it weren't for the distance, and the fact that the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's magic was all aimed at the "Wind and Fire God"... otherwise, even a small aftershock would have been enough to overwhelm the powerful figures!
They were expecting to see how the "God of Wind and Fire" would defend themselves.
But the actions of the "God of Wind and Fire" were truly beyond everyone's expectations!
"Snap." Cao Ya's movements were swift and decisive. He stretched out his hand, and the divine powers of the Great Dao, such as wind, fire, lightning, light, darkness, and death, surged and converged into one, becoming incredibly powerful.
The pink light curtain was pierced in an instant, as fragile as paper.
"Boom." Even the Nine-Tailed Great Sage was slapped to the ground by Cao Ya.
The entire floating island trembled, as if it were about to shatter under this attack.
"Rumble!!" At this moment, just like Emperor Shiyuan back then, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage roared, unleashing all his divine power.
Unfortunately, under Cao Ya's suppression, even a late-stage Emperor-level being at their limit could not break free.
Furthermore, Cao Ya still had the strength to spare, and a stream of light was used to hold back the floating island, preventing it from shattering amidst the struggles of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage.
"Whoosh." Another bunch of illusory magical lights entered the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's body, striking his soul directly.
"Huh?" Cao Ya was slightly surprised. Shi Yuanhuang had fainted from this move. The Nine-Tailed Great Sage actually... Ah, right, the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's talent is inclined towards charm, which is naturally aimed at the soul. It is normal that he has a good ability to resist it.
"go."
Cao Ya launched several more attacks. Because the Nine-Tailed Great Sage's body had been suppressed, it was unable to dodge. No matter how thick and smooth its soul was, it could not withstand Cao Ya's repeated attacks and was hit. Its beautiful eyes gradually became unfocused.
"Bang!" Immediately, the huge body collapsed to the ground and crashed down onto the floating island.
Cao Ya also landed, his divine sense spreading out to analyze the divine script of this low-level primordial life form.
Such a scene left the powerful figures in the distance speechless with astonishment.
The Nine-Tailed Great Sage was so easily defeated by the "God of Wind and Fire"?!
In the eyes of the Deathbringer Clan's emperor, this strongest being on the Realm Heart Continent was even comparable to the three supreme beings of their own clan!
"We must not provoke them!"
The entire Deathbringer Clan looked at the distant floating island with fear.
Dongbo Xueying and his two companions were greatly surprised. After whispering among themselves for a while, they flew over.
