"Hoo." Cao Ya's divine sense swept across the ten directions, gaining insight into the battlefields of many experts, whether it was a battle between kings or a clash of armies, he took it all in his eyes.
With Martial Ancestor and others present, he, along with the ten progenitors and Little Stone Emperor, were not worried.
Overall, the battle among the top players is relatively evenly matched; how things will unfold depends on their on-the-spot responses.
On the contrary, they are at a significant disadvantage, at least in terms of numbers, when it comes to the Emperor level!
However, Xiao Chen, Xing Tian, Chi You, as well as the two-in-one Heavenly Emperor and the Nine-part Stone Man, did not participate in the King Realm War.
They were eager to try, keeping their eyes fixed on the newly emerged emperors!
The men's faces darkened, and they sneered, "Who do you think you are? Mere Stone Kings, yet you dare to even think of attacking us... Hmph, you've really got a death wish!"
Chi You rubbed his hands together, muttering to himself, "If I could, as the Stone King, defy an emperor... well, that would be an unprecedented event!"
Xing Tian, his fighting spirit surging, said, "You lot are not supreme emperors, so there's no need for such pretense. If we defeat you, our fame will be etched in history and passed down through generations!"
The Heavenly Emperor and the Nine-Part Stone Man remained silent, but their eyes gleamed with a deep, unfathomable light, clearly indicating their interest.
In fact, he had no ambition to leave his mark on history.
The main reason is that he is a special being, born from the nine lamps of the sacred objects of the heavens.
Those nine lamps are the great tombs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and Nuwa, where their previous bodies are buried, and they contain some mysterious and unfathomable immense power.
With this background, the Nine-Part Stone Man was comparable to the Stone King Realm when he was first born.
Unfortunately, he was born without a heart, lacking a crucial element. Later, he underwent a transformation and acquired the body of a Heavenly Emperor.
Now, both of these bodies are at the limit of the King Realm. If they were to merge, even if they couldn't become Emperor-level, they would certainly come very close.
Even during the time when the Nine-Part Stone Man was alive, Kyushu was still defeated by the other world, and its fate was tragic.
Later, although they won, it was under the leadership of Cao Ya and his team.
The nine-part stone man, including the second body of the Heavenly Emperor, all have a certain desire: to defeat their formidable enemy and fulfill the mission they have truly been born to fulfill!
In particular, all ten founding ancestors have returned!
"Emperor of Illusion, I am still very curious about your Dao of Illusion. If I can thoroughly analyze it, it will surely be of great help to my Dao of Eight Aspects," Xiao Chen said slowly.
Before the words were finished, the eight primordial sounds resounded, the eight divine powers echoed, a divine diagram appeared, and forty-nine battle swords flew and pierced towards the Void Emperor!
This scene enraged the Emperor!
"You little beast, you think you can fight me?" The Void Emperor sneered. He had lost to Cao Ya in the past because he had cut himself, falling from the Emperor level to avoid the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao. Now, times had changed, and he had returned to the Emperor realm. His magical power was unprecedented. You, a mere king, dare to have such audacity?!
"If I don't kill you, you won't know what imperial majesty is!"
"Perfect, a peak dual-king status is barely worthy of my identity and position."
"With your bones and flesh, I will build my imperial altar."
The Void Emperor's face was grim. With a wave of his hand, a large swath of divine light spread out, exuding an illusory quality, as if the battle sword and Xiao Chen's Eight Aspects Dao were fabricated things that could be shattered with a breath, completely unreal.
As the ruler of the illusory path, his mastery in this field is unparalleled and unmatched.
In the [Eternal Life Realm] universe, every Emperor-level being is at the peak of the Six Stars. They may not have great achievements in other aspects, but their fundamental path is absolutely unparalleled throughout history and amazes the mortal world!
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt that the Eight Phases Dao, which he had thought was extremely stable, was beginning to shake and collapse under the Void Emperor's magic.
"Good!" Xiao Chen was not angry but happy, this was exactly what he had expected.
Only through the test of the Void Emperor's Divine Power can one better discover the flaws in their own path, which ones lead directly to the Emperor level, and which ones have loopholes that prevent them from leaping to the next level.
Of course, being enveloped in a divine diagram, granting him unparalleled defense, was also a source of Xiao Chen's confidence.
This divine image is also a sacred object of the heavens. Although it was forged by the five great stone kings of the Nine Provinces lineage in a certain generation, relying on the Nine Lamps and at the cost of their lives, the key to it is not actually the stone kings, but the Nine Lamps!
In other words, this is related to the tomb containing the bodies of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Nuwa within the Nine Lamps!
It was closely associated with the nine emperor-level progenitors of the Nine Provinces, and the essence of that divine diagram naturally reached the highest level in the universe.
Even for an Emperor-level being, breaking through would not be an easy task.
As for the battle sword... it was forged by later generations based on the divine diagram, using various rare and precious materials, and even rare divine materials, to serve as a vessel to showcase some of the mysteries of the divine diagram.
Therefore, during the Void Emperor's attack, Xiao Chen's Dao techniques and battle sword both encountered problems, but the Divine Diagram remained undamaged.
"Swoosh." With the help of the divine diagram, Xiao Chen activated the Eight Phases Divine Power and used his mind to drive forty-nine battle swords to form a sword formation to fight against the Void Emperor. Although it was dangerous, he managed to hold off the attack.
After all, regardless of anything else, Xiao Chen's cultivation level was the pinnacle of the Stone King and the Supreme God.
His strength was already close to that of an emperor, and with the assistance of the sacred artifacts of the heavens, it was quite normal for him to be able to fight against a true emperor.
"Damn it." The Void Emperor made a move, but failed to kill Xiao Chen instantly, and was held back by the opponent.
Instantly, the Void Emperor's emotions erupted into fury!
Especially with all the emperors watching from the sidelines, he still can't defeat a single king...
This is an utter disgrace!
However, he could break through any supernatural power or sword formation, but he really couldn't do anything about that divine diagram for the time being.
On the contrary, the Void Emperor Technique also gave Xiao Chen a miraculous effect in his comprehension. The Eight Primal Aspects Dao was rapidly perfected and gradually became imbued with imperial aura.
Such scenes made the Emperor's face turn as black as charcoal.
"He has great comprehension and a relatively high probability of attaining enlightenment and becoming an emperor." Fuxi nodded with satisfaction.
"All the heroes are giving their all; we cannot fall!" Suirenshi whispered.
If the emperors were to free up their hands, everything would be annihilated and reduced to dust.
"At least, we cannot fall before we eliminate these cosmic scourges!" Yanhuanglong said solemnly.
Suddenly, his body split into three parts: the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Old Ancestor Dragon.
In the beginning, these two humans and one dragon chose to merge in order to become stronger and fight against the other world, thus giving birth to the Yanhuang Dragon. Furthermore, in the years that followed, they gradually elevated their cultivation to the level where the Stone King and the Supreme God of the Great Perfection coexisted.
However, the current battle, with the resurgence of some of the souls and powers of Yanhuang and his companion, necessitates separating the Yanhuang Dragon.
Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, possessing the strength of emperors, will surely participate in the Imperial War!
The Old Ancestor Dragon is one level below; if he were alone, he would only be a Stone King, but he could join the King's War.
"Gentlemen... everyone, I'll be going now!" the old ancestral dragon said loudly, transforming into his true form, a divine dragon that stretched across the sky, majestic and extraordinary.
Immediately, he joined forces with the Nine-Colored Ancestral Dragon Mu Zizi, the Snow-White Little Beast Keke, the Stone Emperor, and other kings to fight to the death against the powerful figures of the same level in the Unique True Realm!
The emperors did not intervene; with Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang watching, they had no chance.
Besides, an ordinary Stone King hasn't even reached the peak of the King Realm, so why bother with him?
Once they've taken down the Nine Provinces Ancestor, Cao Ya, Little Stone Emperor, and the rest, they can wipe them out in the blink of an eye!
"Make your move and kill them!" The nine innate emperors were all different in form and had a sacred aura, but their arrogance of looking down on all living beings was also very strong, even more so than that of other emperors and kings!
These innate deities, with divine lineage, ruled over the ten directions in the early ancient times, and were absolute overlords.
Later, with the development of the acquired races, more emperor-level beings gradually emerged, which eventually dethroned the innate gods.
However, since the Nine Primordial Emperors survived, this race will not perish.
In fact, in special circumstances, even those who are both innate and acquired emperors can join forces!
“Innate deities…none of them are in human form, that makes things much easier.” Cao Ya observed, then nodded and said, “We’ll leave you with complete corpses; even the bodies of emperors are highly nourishing!”
Upon hearing this, the Nine Innate Emperors' faces turned ugly. For countless years, even the Twenty-Seven Emperors and Thirty-Six Emperors of the Acquired Realm had not dared to underestimate them so much, treating them as fish on a chopping board!
"Cao Ya, you're courting death! Even if you were Pangu or Nuwa, speaking like this is far too presumptuous!"
The Nine Emperors of Heaven roared and manifested various forms, including a violent ape, an eight-clawed octopus, and a nine-headed bird.
Of course, those are only some of the characteristics. For example, the nine-headed bird actually has a thick snake body! And the violent ape also has scorpion-like barbs, and even dragon wings under its ribs!
Each one was far from being human-shaped.
"Boom!!" The nine emperors unleashed a terrifying and boundless aura, shaking the heavens.
Each possessed its own supreme divine law, which began to fluctuate, shaking the void!
The Nine Emperors joined forces to launch an attack, and the immense pressure they exerted was unparalleled. The ancestors of the Nine Provinces all became cautious.
"Cao Ya..." Nuwa transmitted her voice, and with a wave of her hand, the nine ancient lamps flew over.
"Don't worry! I'm confident I can handle them," Cao Ya replied telepathically.
Then, Cao Yalang laughed and flashed, revealing himself to have three heads and six arms.
"Buzz." Above his head, two worlds, one real and one illusory, appeared.
The Niwan Palace World! The Void Realm!
"The nine of you alone are no match for me! The Twenty-Seven Emperors of the Day After Tomorrow and the Five Great Saint Ancestors of the Otherworld are not going anywhere!"
Amidst the laughter, Cao Ya charged out, determined to fight forty-one emperors all by himself!
Several of them reached the advanced level of Emperor.
"How dare you!" The twenty-seven emperors of the day after tomorrow were all furious, their faces revealing a sinister killing intent.
Do you look down on them that much?
What kind of bullshit Bone Emperor is he? He's only just broken through, how strong can he be?
"Heh, Cao Ya, you've practically barged into a paradise that has no gates!" The eyes of the five great patriarchs from another world were cold and piercing.
The defeat of the other world infuriated them, and they also hated Cao Ya, the instigator, to the core!
Although they were confident that if the five Holy Ancestors joined forces, they could destroy Cao Ya.
However, the foundation of this newly promoted Bone Emperor is somewhat unfathomable, and he has already reached the Emperor level in an era before the changes of the Heavenly Dao, which shows his talent.
Having witnessed the fates of the twenty-seven emperors of the acquired world and the nine emperors of the innate world, they were undoubtedly fully confident.
No matter how many tricks Cao Ya, the Bone Emperor, has up his sleeve, he can't possibly find a way out from such a deadly lineup!
The five great patriarchs of the other world pondered that they must not give Cao Ya even the slightest room to maneuver!
Otherwise, given the threat posed by the Bone Emperor, there's no guarantee he might actually escape!
"Cao Ya, you're really overestimating yourself." The Nine Emperors of the Primordial Era sneered.
The initial anger has mostly subsided.
It wasn't that their mindset had changed, but rather Cao Ya's behavior that puzzled them. So audacious and irrational—was he the Bone Emperor, or some kind of fool? Had he lost his mind during his path to enlightenment?
Why bother arguing with an idiot?
They shook their heads secretly, their eyes filled with contempt as they looked at Cao Ya.
At the same time, with the twenty-seven emperors of the acquired world, the five great holy ancestors of the other world, plus their nine emperors of the innate world, such a combination is unmatched throughout history.
Even if the five heroes of the chaotic era were to be resurrected, they would still perish with regret!
Even if you, Cao Ya, go mad with cultivation and become stronger and more powerful, you will still have no chance of survival.
"Rumble..." Instantly, these forty-one emperors, with the strides of dragons and tigers, and the divine laws of the Great Dao, intertwined with the nine heavens, evolving infinite mysteries, as if they were creating the world.
Those who possess great supernatural powers at this level truly have techniques that are exquisitely subtle.
Their understanding of certain laws and rules is also extremely profound.
Especially with such a large number attacking together, their power is truly worthy of being the number one since the beginning of time!
After all, even in ancient times, when there was an emperor-level battle, it wouldn't involve dozens of people moving together!
Both the progenitor of the Nine Provinces and the Little Stone Emperor showed some worry.
"I also want to try out the true abilities of a peak six-star cultivator in this world," Cao Ya thought to himself.
He has experience fighting in universes such as [Eternal Life], [Snow Eagle Lord], and [Primordial Era], and he doesn't want to fall behind.
Limited by the upper limit of the [Eternal Life Realm] universe, one cannot become a seven-star being, but reaching the peak of six stars is still a respectable achievement.
This level is considered extremely powerful in any universe!
Moreover, within the system space, many Cao Ya also discussed whether having enough extraordinary systems at the peak of six stars would be enough to forcibly break through to the level of the initial stage of seven stars in terms of overall combat power.
Cao Ya declined the offer of assistance from the ancestors.
Ultimately, the enemy's numbers far exceeded their own.
Even if Cao Ya took away forty-one emperors by himself, there were still thirty-six post-natal emperors and five emperors left, who would need others to deal with them.
If they agree, the pressure on the ancestors will undoubtedly increase exponentially!
If things really get too tough, Cao Ya won't force herself to stay afloat; she'll ask for help when necessary.
For the time being, Cao Ya felt that he could hold off the forty-one emperors!
There's even a chance to turn the tables and kill the enemies!
Therefore, Cao Ya chose to shoulder the greatest pressure herself!
"Those extraordinary systems are not to be underestimated; they can handle this kind of pressure."
Cao Ya was surrounded by nine-colored rays of light, and all sorts of mysterious sounds rang out, as if he were a god or demon who controlled the universe.
Upon seeing this, the Forty-First Emperor's eyebrows twitched slightly, sensing a hint of danger!
They were immediately astonished.
Faced with their combined forces, what gives Cao Ya, the Bone Emperor, the power to resist?
"Perhaps we underestimated the Bone Emperor." The old emperor, with his tall crown and long robe, had deep eyes.
"Whether you underestimate him or not is a different matter. No matter how powerful Cao Ya is, he has just broken through and reached the limit of the Emperor level. So what? Aren't you the same? Aren't I the same? And what about the other fellow Daoists? Which one of them is weak?" The tall emperor sneered.
Immediately afterward, he made his move, striking out with a palm that caused spacetime to collapse and the universe to shatter!
"Swoosh!" Instantly, all forty-one emperors made their move, forty-one great paths of the emperor realm piercing through heaven and earth, indestructible, impervious to countless calamities, and immortal for billions of years.
That supreme imperial aura crushed the river of time, throwing all rules and order into chaos!
The terrifying power of an Emperor-level being was fully displayed before Cao Ya at this moment!
