The turbulent waves of the Eternal Starfield had nothing to do with Cao Ya.
He had already left the Eternal Starfield and gone to another star system.
However, he still felt regretful when he thought about passing through the Eternal Starfield without entering.
An ancient emperor once emerged from the Eternal Starfield, ruling the universe for ten thousand years and leaving behind various contingency plans, such as imperial weapons and imperial formations. If these were to be fully refined, they would be enough to suppress and kill beings who were about to attain the Dao.
Even if the supreme ruler of the penalty area revives, he can still put up a fight for a while.
Cao Ya, however, dared not provoke Dao Yanxianyi.
This kind of imperial-level item was what he feared most.
Therefore, even though he was curious about the combination of technology and cultivation in the Eternal Starfield, he had no choice but to leave.
"There should be another chance to return to the Eternal Starfield in the future," Cao Ya muttered, marking the map.
Because he was traversing the void, he did not follow the path on the star map exactly. Occasionally, when he encountered some unfamiliar star systems, he would mark them on the map.
More than ten days passed, and after traversing a vast star field, Cao Ya did not encounter a second ancient inhabited star.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from the distant star field, as if a galaxy had shattered, impacting heaven and earth and sweeping across the universe.
Cao Ya extended his divine sense and suddenly sighed.
He took out a star map and, sure enough, saw a mark on it, along with a brief description.
After putting away the star map, Cao Ya took a step forward, traversing star systems and arriving in the unfamiliar ancient star field ahead.
A desolate, grand, and weathered aura washes over you, like a mighty river sweeping away everything, containing an unparalleled domineering spirit.
However, within this domineering aura lies a deep and everlasting sadness.
At the center of the energy fluctuations, Cao Ya witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.
There is a giant there!
He stands tall in the universe, his height immeasurable, his end unseen, reaching into the depths of the cosmos, his feet treading on endless darkness.
Around it, stars swirl and the sun and moon revolve.
At the same time, wisps of chaotic energy spread out, partially obscuring his body.
The giant's body was strong and powerful, possessing boundless divine might, but his face was covered in blood, and his forehead bone was shattered and dripping with blood.
Even in death, the giant's eyes closed, and his entire being exuded an endless sorrow that echoed through the universe, never to dissipate.
“There was once a life-giving ancient star here that was no less powerful than the Big Dipper. Unfortunately, this quasi-emperor failed to attain enlightenment, which dragged down the ancient star that gave birth to and nurtured him. It was destroyed overnight and became a dead land,” Cao Ya sighed.
That giant was actually a normal human being, but during his path to enlightenment, he revealed his strongest form, with the blue sky above his head and the netherworld beneath his feet, resembling an ancient god.
The sun, moon, and stars all revolve around him.
However, no amount of miracles or unusual phenomena could salvage the quasi-emperor's defeat.
Not only did he fail to attain enlightenment, but he also dragged down his home planet, an entire ancient planet, and billions of living beings. At the last moment of his life, when he realized this scene, this quasi-emperor must have been extremely grief-stricken.
Therefore, even hundreds of thousands of years later, such a strong sense of sorrow still permeates the starry sea.
This place of life vanished into the universe.
"How pathetic, how lamentable, how regrettable." Cao Ya sighed, wondering if he would be able to succeed in attaining enlightenment in the future.
Forget it, I'd better not drag the Ancient Life Star into this mess...
Cao Ya touched his chin and suddenly smiled.
Leaving aside other matters, in the [Immortal Gourd] universe, I will definitely become a Pure Yang within ten thousand years, equivalent to a five-star Daoist in this world...
Once I possess five-star power, I'll turn around and prove my path...
In this way, even if I encounter danger, I will have the strength to forcibly break through it without harming any ancient stars...
With a sigh of relief, Cao Ya looked at the quasi-emperor's avatar that had failed to attain enlightenment, and then at the ancient life star that had become a dead zone. He didn't bother looking for any quasi-emperor artifacts or quasi-emperor formations, but simply passed by and headed to other star regions.
The map that Gai Jiuyou provided also had this specially marked on it.
There were no precious items like quasi-emperor artifacts in this place, only sorrow and grief.
Cao Ya felt that he didn't need to disturb the slumber of millions of the dead.
Since they are already dead, let them rest in peace.
After leaving that desolate star field, Cao Ya traveled for several more days when he suddenly witnessed the eruption of cosmic shattered gold. The boundless energy surged violently, impacting star system after star system, destroying countless planets, and even several stars collapsed in this cosmic catastrophe.
Cao Ya witnessed this and was deeply moved.
“Every cosmic catastrophe that erupts takes away galaxies, reducing the number of places in the void where life might be born.” Cao Ya shook his head and intervened to quell this cosmic gold fragmentation disaster.
Buzz~~~
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and a blue-gold imperial tower appeared, thirty-three stories high, representing the supreme thirty-three heavens.
Moreover, chaotic energy descends from each layer, resembling a dazzling celestial river, extremely magnificent.
A majestic voice emanated from the blue-gold imperial tower:
"Who dares to ruin my grand plan?!"
This sound wave shook the heavens, shattered the stars, and destroyed space, then it sought to erase Cao Ya's existence.
Pop!
Cao Ya flicked his finger, and a bolt of lightning pierced the air, not only shattering the seemingly terrifying sound wave, but also causing the Blue Gold Emperor Tower to spin wildly and fly millions of miles away.
"So this disaster of the Cosmic Gold Fragmentation was actually man-made," Cao Ya murmured, his face cold.
Although no ancient life-bearing planet was affected, such actions were extremely heinous.
If every powerful person does this, what planet could possibly exist in the universe?
If it happens during a battle and is uncontrollable, then it is understandable and acceptable.
But to do it voluntarily...
This behavior is absolutely vicious!
Many galaxies actually have the potential to nurture life. If they receive external assistance, such as divine sources or spiritual energy, their reproduction process will be accelerated, and life will truly be born.
It should be known that after the death of the Six Great Sages of the Immortal Realm, if they wished, they could transform into a world like a planet, nurturing billions of lives and creating all living beings.
Therefore, Cao Ya was furious to see the Blue Gold Emperor Tower wreaking havoc on the universe.
Previously, without careful observation, we were prejudiced and assumed it was a natural disaster. Who would have thought that such a natural disaster was actually man-made?
“The wanton destruction of galaxies must be stopped,” Cao Ya murmured to himself.
"Ha, to be able to contribute to me is the highest honor for these star systems!" A superior voice echoed from within the Blue Gold Imperial Tower, seemingly looking down upon billions of living beings.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya's eyes turned icy cold.
"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, and since you are now a quasi-emperor, you may serve me as your master. Once I attain enlightenment, you will be a divine general under my command, able to traverse the universe with me and look down upon all the heavens! If you do not agree... ha, today your act of offending me will be thoroughly punished!" The voice from the Blue Gold Emperor Tower shouted, believing Cao Ya to be an ordinary quasi-emperor and wanting Cao Ya to submit to him and serve him as his master.
These words were spoken so naturally, as if it were a matter of course, without any regard for Cao Ya, and with an air of looking down upon a subordinate.
