Cao Ya was serious, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a solution, but suddenly a slight stirring in his heart made his heavy emotions seem to ease considerably.
However, his expression remained somber, giving the two ancient sages opposite him a feeling of exasperation.
"Haha, Cao Ya, you have no chance. Even if you don't die by our hand, once the Great Sage of Primordial Lake and the others arrive victorious, we will unite and you will surely die!" The Golden Great Sage laughed. After fighting Cao Ya for so long and exchanging thousands of blows, he finally saw a glimmer of hope for a counterattack. How could the Golden Great Sage not be overjoyed? How could he not laugh?
"Cao Ya, unless you can break through to Quasi-Emperor on the spot, you are doomed!" Gan Lun Dasheng said coldly. Breaking through to Quasi-Emperor is not such a simple matter.
Breakthroughs in battle are extremely rare, occurring only a handful of times throughout history.
"Oh no, what should we do?" On the ground, the cultivators' hearts sank. The Dao pattern array light screen once again revealed the situation of the extraterrestrial battlefield, and many voices were heard.
However, relying on the Dao patterns, they can observe the battle, but they definitely cannot intervene in it.
Even the Sage Formation, or even the Great Sage Formation, is useless; at the very least, a Quasi-Emperor Formation is needed.
Because of those few supreme divine weapons that have been revived to a certain extent, only a flawless quasi-emperor formation is qualified to intervene in the battlefield.
A flawed Quasi-Emperor Formation might be able to be set up by some master formation experts working together, but a flawless Quasi-Emperor Formation is something they simply cannot accomplish; it requires the Quasi-Emperor himself to set up the formation in order to take shape.
But where are there any quasi-emperors in this world?
"Oh no, even Great Sage Cao Ya is in danger." Duan De, Black Emperor, and the others suddenly changed their expressions and frowned, unable to think of a solution.
Just then, Ye Fan suddenly looked in a certain direction, where the sick old man Gai Jiuyou was gazing at the heavens.
Seemingly sensing Ye Fan's gaze, Gai Jiuyou turned his head, a faint smile appearing on his aged face.
Seeing this, Ye Fan felt relieved, and his worries dissipated.
If the situation had truly deteriorated beyond repair, then Old Man Gai Jiuyou would not have looked like this.
"Ye Fan, what are you looking at?" the Holy Prince asked curiously.
“Huh, who is that person…” Duan De followed Ye Fan’s gaze and saw the sick old man. He paused for a moment, then suddenly shuddered and widened his eyes.
Before Ye Fan could answer, the sick old man suddenly disappeared, silently stepping out and tearing through the void, appearing billions of miles away.
He had actually arrived directly in the battlefield outside the domain!
"Who goes there?" All the ancient sages were shocked, knowing that the newcomers were from the human race and were their greatest enemies.
Because the Primordial Ancestor King dared not intervene in this battle, the Great Sages who were qualified to intervene had already made their stance clear: to remain on the sidelines.
They only hoped that the newcomer would not possess any imperial artifacts.
Whew~~~~
As Gai Jiuyou appeared, a faint divine voice emanated, transforming into waves of light that resounded throughout the outer battlefield.
After observing for a long time, he finally noticed the fatal flaw in the Great Sage of the Reincarnation lineage when he activated the Azure Gold Armor. Therefore, he took action, crossed the starry sky, came here, and made a fierce move!
Boom!!!
With overwhelming divine power, the dark sky was shattered.
Gai Jiuyou appeared not far from the Great Sage of the Samsara lineage, his expression calm. He did not play anything, and there were no objects in front of him, but his body was glowing. Strands of light became celestial music, spreading out and rushing towards the Feathered Azure Gold Battle Armor.
Although it's not far, it's actually several hundred miles away. However, for beings like them, several hundred miles is just a blink of an eye.
So the celestial music crashed down on the Feathered Azure Gold Battle Armor, echoing softly, causing the vast, ocean-like divine power of the Feathered Azure Gold Battle Armor to be completely reversed, and causing the Great Sage of the Reincarnation lineage to retreat continuously, shattering some asteroids behind him.
The Immortal Melody of Tribulation Transcending!
This is the Dao created by Gai Jiuyou, who understands the origin of the world, plays the divine sound of the Great Dao, listens to the secrets of the immortals, and transcends tribulations in this mortal world.
Who in this world isn't struggling to cross the river?
Life is full of different aspects, and the world is full of various things. As long as a living being has thoughts and feelings, it is all about "crossing over." Whether it is striving or sinking, it is all about struggling and going through tribulations in this world.
Living itself is a process of overcoming tribulations.
Gai Jiuyou created the Immortal Transcending Tribulation Song, a scripture that can be described as earth-shattering and unparalleled throughout history, almost comparable to the ancient emperors. He forged his own path to enlightenment, but unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era.
Even so, he almost took that step and became an emperor.
Although he was old and frail, his blood and energy depleted, and he could no longer possess the fighting power he had at his peak, and the duration of that power was very short, as long as he made a move, the power he exuded still made countless living beings in the sky and on the ground tremble with fear.
"That sonic technique... is it Gai Jiuyou's?!"
"After the Azure Emperor, Gai Jiuyou is the most promising candidate to attain enlightenment, and has almost taken half a step towards it?!"
"Eight or nine thousand years ago, the Old Man of the Nine Netherworlds was invincible in this world, sweeping across the heavens and universes without encountering a worthy opponent!"
People gasped in amazement, their eyes wide with excitement as they watched the images on the screen.
The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree; the name Gai Jiuyou is only slightly inferior to that of the ancient emperors.
This is a figure who has almost attained enlightenment!
If it weren't for the Azure Emperor's precedent, Gai Jiuyou could definitely have attained enlightenment and become another great emperor of the human race!
Unfortunately, the Azure Emperor passed away less than ten thousand years ago, and his Dao still suppresses all other Daos, preventing others from becoming emperors and blocking the path to enlightenment.
The appearance of such an extraordinary figure brought a morale boost that Cao Ya could not match.
Unfortunately, Cao Ya lived more than 200,000 years ago and was completely unknown, so no reputation of hers has survived.
In terms of influence, prestige, and even strength, Cao Ya is far inferior to Gai Jiuyou.
The cultivators were excited, while the ancient beings were horrified. Even the ancient ancestral kings and clan leaders all stared wide-eyed at the light screen, which displayed the situation of the battlefield outside the heavens.
"How could a human possibly... possess such a quasi-emperor peak existence..." The group of ancient clan powerhouses were shocked, as if struck by lightning, frozen on the spot, followed by deep fear.
How could the human race possibly possess such a being, one who is even more powerful than those about to attain enlightenment, having taken half a step further?!
Regardless of their inner thoughts, whether they believed it or not, Gai Jiuyou's power and cultivation were undeniable, leaving them no choice but to be terrified.
"An existence almost equivalent to an alternative path to enlightenment?! How can such a being exist among the human race?!"
The Great Sage of the Samsara lineage was terrified. In a moment of quick thinking, he decided to follow the example of the Golden Great Sage and the Ganlun Great Sage and escape into the ancient imperial weapon. Even though there was a risk of losing consciousness, it was still much less risky than facing an alternative Daoist directly.
How could Gai Jiuyou give him this opportunity?
The Celestial Melody of Tribulation was played, its divine sound echoing through the starry sky.
Humans are crossing the river, gods and Buddhas are crossing the river, demons and ghosts are crossing the river, all things in heaven and earth, every blade of grass and every tree, are vying to cross the river...
As soon as the Tribulation Transcending Immortal Melody was played, vast stretches of Dao traces undulated and spread into the distance, resisting the Feathered Azure Gold Battle Armor with overwhelming force, and were able to advance continuously!
This scene undoubtedly shocked all living beings in heaven and on earth. Even the ancient sages and ancestral kings had their pupils constricted, and their eyes were filled with horror.
Even the Golden Great Sage and the Ganlun Great Sage, who had incorporated the Golden Mace and the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, gasped in shock, their bodies turning icy cold.
This scene was even more shocking than Cao Ya's previous suppression of them, because Cao Ya possessed the Western Emperor Tower, an ultimate imperial weapon, which was a huge trump card, while Gai Jiuyou had nothing and relied solely on his own extraordinary cultivation to fight against the Feathered Azure Gold Battle Armor.
This person has not yet attained the Dao and become an emperor!
