"Lord Ketu...could he have already become a saint?!"
Not only the Chaos Swordfish, but also the other Primordial Chaos and Weak Saints held their breath.
The Tongtian Sect Leader, Zu Xuanwu, the Chaos Demon Insect, the Chaos Black Crow, and others were all greatly surprised.
Only Sun Wukong laughed heartily, appearing quite calm.
He once discussed the Dao with Ketu Star Lord and deeply understood the power of Cao Ya Star Lord!
"Rumble..." All kinds of profound laws descended, engulfing the void and surging out divine power.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!" Cao Ya wielded the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed at the Chaos Swordfish. The strength of his swordsmanship was not much inferior to that of the Chaos Swordfish!
The paths of light, darkness, life, death, cause and effect, reincarnation, fire, lightning, wind, sword, and body refinement all trembled, causing the Chaos Swordfish to be unable to ignore them and suffer injuries, with drops of blood from the Holy Path falling one by one!
"ah!!"
The Chaos Swordfish roared, its entire body emitting a strange luster, covered in magical energy. It truly transformed into a supreme immortal sword, directly attacking Cao Ya, intending to kill him and wash away the shame!
Otherwise, as long as Jidu Xingjun lives, people will know that the Chaos Swordfish of the Holy Path was unable to defeat the weak saint Jidu Xingjun in a one-on-one battle!
"Pfft." Cao Ya coughed up blood. His injuries were undoubtedly more serious than those of the Chaos Swordfish!
However, the operation of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques of the Perfect World covers all aspects, including attack, defense, and healing, so it can naturally restore health.
He used all the techniques, including "The Giant Ant Supporting the Sky Technique," "The Great Divine Power of the Primordial Beginning," "The Taiji Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique," "The Great Divine Power of the Primordial Primordial Beginning," "The Shangqing Dao Scripture," as well as "The Creation Divine Fist of the Thirty-Three Heavens" and "The Great Sun Tathagata Fist," to the maximum extent possible. Combined with various divine principles, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was truly about to enter a level that could be called the Holy Path!
"Swoosh." The Xuanyuan Sword thrust out, helping Cao Ya to face the Chaos Swordfish's sharpness and creating favorable conditions for him to fight the Saint alone.
Of course, even so, Cao Ya was at a disadvantage, but he was not completely defeated, much less utterly routed. For a weak sage, this was already an unprecedented event!
"The strongest and weakest Hunyuan in history!" Zu Xuanwu exclaimed, showing great admiration for Jidu Xingjun.
He was born not long after Pangu created the world and the primordial universe was born, and was immediately a quasi-saint.
Subsequently, he broke through to the realms of Weak Saint and True Primordial Chaos, and experienced great eras such as the Dragon-Han First Tribulation, the Dao-Demon Conflict, the Witch-Demon Hegemony, and the Investiture of the Gods. But he had never seen a Weak Primordial Chaos like Jidu Star Lord before!
“Great God Pangu, if you hadn’t been born a saint, perhaps you would have performed like this, or even stronger, in the weak Primordial Chaos Realm!” The Chaos Black Crow, who was facing off against the Ancestral Xuanwu, slowly spoke.
He was a demon god who had seen the great god Pangu and even fought with him, experiencing the sharpness of the genuine Pangu Axe... Even now, thinking about it still fills him with lingering fear!
That agarwood imitation of the Heaven-Opening Axe is not even one millionth the size of the genuine article!
However, the Great God Pangu was already at the Hunyuan level when he was born, and his combat power was formidable, surpassing that of others of the same level.
What would happen if he were at the level of a weak saint... we can only imagine!
“If you live long enough, you’ll see all sorts of things,” Zu Xuanwu sighed.
Chaos Black Crow couldn't help but nod. If, during the Chaos Era, a demon god dared to say that in the future, there would be acquired life forms that, at the level of a weak saint, could directly rival a true primordial being... he would definitely be laughed at by all the demon gods!
"One is the Star Lord Jidu, the other is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven... The primordial universe created by the Great God Pangu is truly a land of outstanding people and abundant resources." Chaos Black Crow sighed deeply.
Perhaps, the creation of heaven and earth is indeed a possible path to transcend the path of sainthood...
However, at the time of creation, many powerful beings blocked the way, and how to resolve this was a major problem!
Even the great god Pangu perished because of this.
"Bang bang." The Chaos Black Raven, its body the size of a star, took flight, and misfortune descended.
However, Zu Xuanwu smiled slightly, and a huge tortoise shell, like an indestructible wall, blocked the misfortune and did not harm him in the slightest.
These two second-stage Hunyuan cultivators are evenly matched in strength; even if they exchanged a million blows, it would be difficult to determine a winner.
"Enough, why should we fight?" Chaos Black Raven shook his head and retreated one light-year.
Zu Xuanwu did not pursue them, but nodded and said, "The remains of the Undying Stone Emperor are inside this petrification disaster. There are many pieces, not just one or two, enough for us to divide up."
The two stared intently, their eyes flashing with divine light, able to see the hidden secrets of the petrification disaster.
A massive, broken stone figure was gradually disintegrating, emitting endless gray-white light that spread out and swept across the entire universe.
"The Undying Stone Emperor... Alas, though it is called 'undying,' it is actually far from it." The Chaos Black Crow sighed.
He and the Immortal Stone Emperor were old acquaintances and had exchanged ideas several times. Seeing the Stone Emperor's remains today, he felt deeply saddened.
During the great calamity of creation, far too many masters perished!
Of course, while they may have desires, the remnants of the Stone Emperor and the Chaos Black Crow also had their own wants.
If one can obtain the second-stage Saintly Body, one might be able to comprehend some of the cultivation methods of the Undying Stone Emperor, understand his Dao intent, and integrate it into one's own secret techniques, thus getting closer and closer to the pinnacle of the Saintly Path!
"Boom!!" Just then, the grayish-white light paused for a moment, and then it shone brightly, accompanied by many limbs and fragments, and had an indescribable destructive power!
The heroes clashing were no longer concerned with their opponents; they all used their unique abilities to seize the remains.
"This thing..." Cao Ya stopped fighting the Chaos Swordfish and used the Xuanyuan Sword to intercept a pair of stone ears and capture them.
His mastery of body refinement has always been excellent, including the Stone King Physique from the Realm of Immortality.
The stone ear trembled slightly, releasing a stream of information that Cao Ya obtained.
"The Dao Scripture of the Undying Stone Emperor!" Cao Ya exclaimed in surprise, he had actually obtained the great technique of the Undying Stone Emperor...
Meanwhile, Cao Ya, who was also aware of the strange abilities contained in the stone ear fungus, nodded secretly.
"It's a pity that I don't have the Stone Emperor's cultivation method." The Chaos Swordfish was quite satisfied with obtaining the left leg of a stone man, but it still felt that something was missing.
So, his gaze fell on Cao Ya, filled with deep malice.
The humiliation of being blocked by Jidu Star Lord must be washed away. Besides, the pair of stone ear fungus also made the Chaos Swordfish very envious.
The more relics of saints at the second level, the better, so that one can comprehend the methods of the Immortal Stone Emperor to a greater extent.
The power of the Undying Stone Emperor is now so immense that even the Chaos Swordfish feels a sense of awe and reverence.
The Chaos Swordfish naturally coveted this person's cultivation abilities!
"Gone!" Suddenly, the Chaos Demon Worm transmitted its voice, wriggled its body, and exceeded the speed of light, leaving directly.
Having snatched the right leg of the stone man, it felt quite content and was unwilling to continue fighting with the Tongtian Sect Leader. Even the terrifying Lingbao Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, made the Chaos Demon Insects feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Haha, Chaos Swordfish, come back and get your revenge another time!" Chaos Ferocious Shark laughed loudly, grabbing the stone man's intestines and fleeing into the distance with the Chaos Demon Worm.
"Consider yourselves lucky!" With the two second-realm demon gods gone, Chaos Taotie and Chaos Swordfish naturally dared not linger any longer.
No matter how strong their desire to kill the numerous weak saints, they must retreat!
Otherwise, even the Tongtian Sect Leader and Sun Wukong wouldn't be able to withstand it!
"Whoosh!!" The Chaos Glutton and the Chaos Swordfish also instantly broke through the void.
"Caw caw." At this moment, the Chaos Black Raven, which had seized a pair of eyes from the Stone Man, flapped its wings and left the Petrification Catastrophe, heading towards the direction of the Primordial Origin River.
"Farewell!" Zu Xuanwu cupped his hands in greeting. He seized the stone man's left hand and, along with four Xuanwu divine beasts, headed towards the Primordial Origin River.
The Tongtian Sect Leader looked on but did not stop them; there was a stone tongue on his palm.
"This heart has an extremely strong blood supply capacity! The Undying Stone Emperor must have a secret technique for burning blood!" Sun Wukong laughed. What he had snatched was the stone heart!
Apart from these two, only Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, by chance, obtained the stone man's right hand and skull. The others did not gain anything.
After all, the petrification catastrophe, though formed from the remains of the indestructible Stone Emperor, was broken and certainly not intact, containing all sorts of organs.
Then, Cao Ya also passed on the "Undying Stone Emperor's Dao Scripture" to everyone.
Everyone was amazed by the cultivation methods of the Immortal Stone Emperor.
Even the Tongtian Sect Leader drew some inspiration from it, which allowed him to improve the Shangqing Daojing.
The Immortal Stone Emperor was at the limit of the second realm of Hunyuan in his lifetime, and was on par with the current Tongtian Sect Master. It is easy to imagine that his methods must be extremely precious.
"Next, we'll go to the Primordial River of Origin..."
"That place is now a melting pot of all sorts of monsters and demons, with countless powerful individuals gathering there!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader and Sun Wukong exchanged ideas and asked for the opinions of others whether they should also accompany them.
If they do not go, they will each bestow a sword aura or a golden light to protect everyone.
However, having come this far, everyone has had considerable opportunities. Not to mention those who obtained first-class spiritual treasures and the remains of saints, even those who gained nothing in terms of treasures have acquired many great supernatural powers and have been deeply moved in their understanding of the path of sainthood.
In addition, the Primordial River of Origin is the core of the land of creation, where opportunities and fortunes are abundant, and it also involves knowledge that transcends the path of sainthood... Even if one cannot obtain it, being able to observe it is an immense blessing.
In the end, everyone decided to travel together to the Primordial River of Chaos!
"Whoosh." The Tongtian Sect Leader flicked his sleeve, enveloping the weak saints except for Cao Ya, tearing through the void, and escaping from this place.
Sun Wukong, carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder, was not lagging behind the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Cao Ya glanced at the petrification disaster. After the remains of the Undying Stone Emperor were divided among the heroes, the area and danger of this disaster were reduced. Only the remains of the saint remained since ancient times, and the remaining part of the Dharma aura still existed, maintaining the petrification disaster and preventing it from being completely destroyed.
Cao Ya let out a breath and caught up with the Tongtian Sect Leader and Sun Wukong.
Afterwards, the group traversed the void, crossed natural disasters, and soon arrived at the Primordial River of Origin!
"Splash, splash." It was a wide, boundless river, composed of primordial divine light, dazzling to the eye.
It seems that all the laws and rules of the world can be traced in that long river.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, Wind, Thunder, Time and Space, Yin and Yang, Life and Death...
This river is also extremely long. The various natural disasters in the surrounding area, even the petrification disaster, left behind by the second-level saints, are far less than it, because the Primordial Origin River is a full ninety-nine light-years long!
Furthermore, all kinds of magic are affected here, making them difficult to use freely.
Under the primordial chaos, all living beings and things must bow down!
"Dao Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, Great God Yangmei, Buddha Tathagata, Guide Daoist, Zhunti Daoist, Moral Heavenly Venerable, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Nuwa, Chaos Black Crow, Ancestral Xuanwu..."
Cao Ya scanned the area with his divine sense and couldn't help but hold his breath.
Around the Long River, there are countless powerful figures, including many at the mid-level and high-level Seven Stars. There are also dozens, even hundreds, of those at the initial level of Seven Stars and the peak of Six Stars!
As for peak Quasi-Saints... not a single one!
Clearly, the Primordial River of Chaos is a region that even a peak Quasi-Saint cannot reach.
"Donghuang Taiyi, Demon Emperor Dijun!" Tongtian Jiaozhu looked around, his sword eyes not on Daozu, Mozu, etc., but on the two emperors of the demon race, his sword intent chilling.
The two men sneered, completely unafraid. Both were saints; who was inferior to whom?
Donghuang Taiyi is on the same level as Tongtian Jiaozhu!
However, in contrast, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Chaos Taotie, the Chaos Swordfish, and others also cast equally menacing glances at the crowd.
"Raise all your weapons!" the Tongtian Sect Leader transmitted telepathically. "A holy war could break out here at any moment! When that happens, Wukong and I may not be able to protect you!"
The crowd was awestruck, knowing the stakes involved. There were over a hundred saints here; who would dare to be careless?
Thus, the imitation of Chenxiang's Heaven-Opening Axe, Jigong's Taiji Seal, Duobao Daoren's five second-class spiritual treasures, Wudang Shengmu's two second-class spiritual treasures, Guiling Shengmu's Taisu Heavenly Bell, as well as Tang Seng's Taishi Treasure Bottle, Wu Song's Stone Man Right Hand and Earth Emperor Shennong Furnace, Lu Zhishen's Stone Bone and Heaven Emperor Fuxi Array Plate, and the Time Treasure Box of the two women, Daiyu and Baochai, and the Hetu Luoshu, were all activated!
The sheer number of first-class spiritual treasures attracted the attention of many important figures even within the primordial river of chaos.
However, due to the presence of the Tongtian Sect Leader and Sun Wukong, no one dared to act rashly.
Furthermore, since they have all arrived here, their goal is no longer just first-class or second-class spiritual treasures.
What we are hoping for is the transcendent knowledge left behind by the great god Pangu!
"However, I heard that in the battle for the remains of the Undying Stone Emperor, Lord Jidu single-handedly blocked the Chaos Swordfish?" someone said leisurely.
Upon hearing this, the Chaos Swordfish turned ashen-faced, but the truth was undeniable.
"Shameful! A dignified True Primordial Being can't even defeat a weak Saint!" Some demons sneered.
Chaos Swordfish sneered: "Do you really think Lord Ketu is a pushover? If you're so capable, go and try it yourself."
"Heh, Chaos Swordfish, if you don't have the ability, don't pretend to be something you're not. Now you've embarrassed yourself and you're still making excuses," some demon gods mocked.
This made the Chaos Swordfish's anger almost burst forth, almost uncontrollably!
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya showed no joy; instead, his expression darkened slightly.
Those people must have been trying to provoke the Chaos Swordfish into causing him trouble. Their "using someone else's knife to kill someone" strategy was executed with unparalleled skill.
After all, most of the beings within the Primordial Chaos Source River were enemies!
"These underhanded tricks are beneath our notice," the Tongtian Sect Leader sneered.
As he spoke, his gaze locked onto the demon emperor.
"The battle begins! I will surely annihilate you all!"
