At the top of the sky.
Cao Ya glanced down and, as he passed by the Fire Kirin Cave, sensed the fluctuations of the ancient imperial weapon within.
He chuckled, the Devouring Demon Jar hovering above his head, and then disappeared into the distance.
Using force might actually make things worse.
These ancient royal families must have sealed away the Great Saints, or even Quasi-Emperors, and with the rise and fall of ancient royal weapons, if they were to make a move, mountains and rivers would collapse and stars would shatter. Cao Ya would not have a 100% chance of winning.
After the Northern Region, Cao Ya entered the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness, followed by the Southern Region.
Many ancient families and holy lands, as well as ancient royal families and royal families, are extremely wary of this. The destruction of the Divine Spirit Valley and the blocking of the attack by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone are major events that have shaken all the major forces.
Cao Ya's name resounds throughout the Big Dipper, and his name is known throughout the five regions!
This tour of the Eastern Wilderness with the Supreme Emperor Weapon can be considered a successful one. There was a small incident in the middle, when he was targeted for death by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone of the Primordial Ancient Mine, but Cao Ya still managed to withstand it, which further enhanced his prestige.
However, a second accident still occurred.
When Cao Ya entered the Southern Region, the Devouring Demon Jar emitted a majestic imperial aura, shaking the heavens and earth, and the four seas and eight wastelands.
Originally, this trip was about to end, and Cao Ya was about to retire successfully. The lid and body of the Devouring Demon Jar were to be returned to the old blind man and Duan De respectively. He could observe from the shadows at the upcoming grand gathering of all races in Yaochi Holy Land and make his appearance when necessary.
After all, the Yaochi Holy Land already possessed the supreme imperial weapon, the Western Emperor Tower, as a powerful foundation for suppression.
But as Cao Ya approached the desolate forbidden area, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body and a suffocating sensation.
He already possesses the combat power of a Great Sage and carries an ultimate imperial weapon. Who could possibly frighten him so much?
Only the Supreme One!
Even a quasi-emperor wouldn't do!
As for the desolate forbidden land, doesn't Cao Ya know who the ruler of this forbidden zone of life is?
Ruthless Emperor!
"Could it be that the Ruthless Great Emperor sensed his own imperial weapon—the Devouring Demon Jar—and thus awakened?" Cao Ya asked in surprise and doubt.
After he transmigrated, although he lived in the era of the Ruthless Great Emperor, which was in the Big Dipper, he never saw the Ruthless Great Emperor who had already proven himself to be an emperor.
I am neither an old friend of the Ruthless Great Emperor, nor his disciple, nor his enemy. How could I possibly have the chance to see the Great Emperor's face?
The Desolate Forbidden Land is one of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Big Dipper. Few people have dared to enter it since ancient times. No matter if they are saints, great saints, or quasi-emperors, they will all be reduced to ashes if they enter it. No one can resist the power of the "desolate".
Even the supreme beings of other forbidden zones are no match for them!
Originally, this place was equivalent to the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Undying Mountain, the Divine Ruins, and the Immortal Tomb, but since the Ruthless Great Emperor took over, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land has changed. It is still a forbidden zone for life, but it no longer launches dark turmoil.
Sometimes, the Ruthless Emperor would even intervene to quell the chaos and turmoil in the darkness.
In the original story, the greatest dark turmoil in history that broke out later due to the path to immortality was finally quelled by the intervention of the Ruthless Great Emperor.
The White-Clad Empress, unparalleled throughout history, possesses unmatched talent!
Outside the forbidden area, ancient trees reach for the sky, creating a pristine landscape. Inside, you can hear a pin drop; it is deathly quiet, without a single sound.
Cao Ya dared not enter this ancient forbidden land, which was like a fairyland, because he could not withstand the power of "wildness".
The Ruthless Emperor is far superior to those supreme beings in forbidden zones.
But he's not like Ye Fan, who can just enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land whenever he wants and treat it like his own home... Well, the Ruthless Great Emperor has taken over the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Given Ye Fan's status, since he's a similar flower, he can really say it's his own home.
Why did the Great Sage stop?
Behind them, Ye Fan, Jiang Taixu, and the others were puzzled, then their expressions suddenly changed:
"Could it be that there are also unusual movements in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land? Is 'Desolate' also going to make a move?"
They looked at each other, their faces pale with fear. The infamous reputation of the desolate forbidden land was no less than that of the Primordial Ancient Mine, and perhaps even worse.
Although Ye Fan had entered the forbidden area many times and emerged unscathed, he did not underestimate the dangers of the desolate ancient forbidden land.
However, they were stunned the next second.
"Human Cao Ya greets the Ruthless Great Emperor." Cao Ya bowed respectfully.
Behind them, the crowd looked at each other in disbelief.
What did Cao Ya Dasheng say?
Ruthless Emperor?!
"The 'Lord of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land' is actually the Ruthless Great Emperor?!" Zhang Lin exclaimed in surprise.
"The Ruthless Great Emperor... she... she's still alive?!" The Black Emperor was shocked, then his body trembled. If the Ruthless Great Emperor was still alive, then the Beginningless Great Emperor...
"Emperor Wushi must still be alive!" The Black Emperor almost wanted to roar to the sky.
"The supreme being within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is the Ruthless Great Emperor???" Ye Fan was also shocked, but he was also very confused as to why he had entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land several times without any problems.
The Ruthless Great Emperor was an ancient person from more than 200,000 years ago. Ye Fan did not think that he would be associated with the Ruthless Great Emperor.
Boom!!!
At the heart of the desolate forbidden land lies a massive abyss that extends deep underground.
Cao Ya stopped outside the forbidden area, not daring to go any further.
He suddenly became dazed, as if he saw the white-clad empress in the abyss, sitting cross-legged in a vast and boundless palace, where chaotic energy surged, yet it was very peaceful and serene.
Inside that ancient palace, besides the Empress, there were a dozen or so barbarian slaves with blank faces, as if they had become servants, but they also seemed to have a trace of their own instincts. It was a very peculiar state, caught between life and death, thus escaping the erosion of time.
Upon realizing this, Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat.
However, his gaze remained fixed on the white-robed empress, who seemed to be sitting cross-legged in front of him, so beautiful that it felt unreal, serene and otherworldly. Although she was in the desolate ancient forbidden land, it was as if he were in the immortal realm.
No introduction was needed; Cao Ya knew that this was the Ruthless Great Emperor!
She was truly peerless in beauty, her appearance was unparalleled, surpassing all others throughout history. However, Cao Ya was also very clear that once the Empress became fierce, she was capable of destroying the world and shattering the universe, and no one in history could stop her!
Two hundred thousand years ago, when the Ruthless Great Emperor was still the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor, I had never seen her... I never imagined that two hundred thousand years later, when that era had long since passed, I would see the Ruthless Great Emperor again...
Cao Ya was filled with emotion and sighed deeply.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," Cao Ya said again.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. The Empress was shrouded in mist and flowed with chaotic energy. She opened her eyes, looking somewhat bewildered, but after a moment her gaze cleared. She didn't speak, but simply looked out at the outside world. There was nothing unusual about it, just a normal, indifferent glance, as if she had bumped into someone on the street and glanced at them sideways.
However, Cao Ya couldn't help feeling a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle.
But the Ruthless Great Emperor's gaze did not linger on him. He glanced at him and then looked away, not even paying much attention to the Devouring Demon Jar forged from his first incarnation's body.
The Empress glanced at Ye Fan behind her, her eyes flickering.
Not to become an immortal, but only to wait for your return in the mortal world.
Cao Ya sighed. The Ruthless Great Emperor had been reincarnating in the mortal world time and time again in order to find her brother. In this life, she finally waited for that similar flower.
But the Ruthless Emperor was destined to be disappointed.
Ye Fan is Ye Fan, not the older brother of the Ruthless Great Emperor from over two hundred thousand years ago. Even though they both possess the Ancient Sacred Body, even though they look similar, even though Ye Fan was born in the same place where the Ruthless Great Emperor's brother died, even though there are many coincidences, even though...
However, no matter how much they try to change the fact that these are two people, it doesn't change the fact that they are two different people.
Ye Fan encountered the same fate in the original story. After An Miaoyi passed away, many tens of thousands of years later, a similar flower appeared, named Kou Xiaoxiao. Ye Fan remained silent and eventually took her as his disciple, teaching her everything he knew.
Hehe, luckily I don't have that kind of trouble...
Cao Ya stroked his chin and chuckled.
