Upon discovering the crystal coffins belonging to the Immortal Emperor's subordinates, Cao Ya became enraged and immediately ordered them to be reduced to ashes.
Because he sensed something hidden in the shadows.
Moreover, the contents of these crystal coffins could easily be exploited and cause harm, so it was best to destroy them all.
"Roar~~"
Behind Cao Ya and the others, a terrifying figure appeared. It was jet black, withered like a piece of firewood, and had nine heads, including dragon, human, and phoenix heads, standing side by side. It was shrouded in an immortal black divine halo.
An endless aura of death shattered the heavens and the earth, like a sea of stars being smashed down, making people feel a tightness in their chests, their bodies about to decay, and their primordial spirits about to be extinguished.
This is a great demon that crawled out of the crystal coffin!
Cao Ya pressed forward with one hand and countered with the other, unleashing a torrent of black sword energy that pierced through the mountain's belly, containing strange and profound laws that were impossible to fathom.
"Is this the Taiyin Sword Manual?" Ye Fan and the others asked with interest.
The withered body was black, with nine heads standing side by side in a row, looking incredibly strange. Each head had a pair of cold, sinister eyes.
A black halo surrounded it, making it incredibly awe-inspiring.
Cao Ya made a sudden and unexpected move, destroying the nine-headed mummified corpse with a single strike. It let out a shrill howl, as ferocious as a vengeful ghost, a sound that sent chills down everyone's spine.
The sword energy reverberated, intertwining with profound laws, instantly piercing the opponent into powder, turning it into a patch of black ash, and dissipating from the spot.
Ye Fan and the others were quite shocked. It was a divine corpse surrounded by divine halos and filled with the aura of the Great Dao, but it was shattered by Sage Cao Ya in a single move. This showed how powerful Sage Cao was, and no wonder he ignored the four immortal sages.
They have always called Cao Ya a saint, which is probably a mistake. He is not only a saint, but also a saint-king, or even a great saint!
After Cao Ya killed the divine corpse, he pressed one hand forward, and his power surged, lifting the crystal coffin. Then, his divine power surged, and with a loud rumble, the corpse inside the crystal coffin, which had not yet revived or transformed, exploded.
The patterns carved by the Immortal Emperor were meant to prevent the corpse inside the coffin from decaying, but after millions of years, the divine runes have dimmed and their power has weakened, so they can no longer be fully effective.
Those ancient powerhouses who passed away might not have been Cao Ya's match in life, let alone millions of years after their deaths.
How could one withstand an attack equivalent to that of the Great Sage?
Ye Fan, Duan De, the Blind Man, and the Black Emperor were all dumbfounded. Cao Ya's aura was overwhelming, and his divine power was unparalleled, which was astonishing.
"come out!"
Just as Ye Fan and the others were surprised, Cao Ya let out a loud shout, and his divine voice echoed through the mountain.
"There's someone else?" The old blind man was startled.
Just how many mysteries and strange occurrences exist within this Zishan Tomb?
Even the Black Emperor was perplexed.
Suddenly, a chilling laugh rang out, and a wave of resentment surged like a tide, eventually engulfing everything and sending a shiver down one's spine.
A tall figure walked forward, and the temperature in the hall plummeted, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
“This…” Cao Ya’s expression turned strange the moment he saw it.
It was sinister and eerie, its body covered in terrifying red hair, more than half a foot long, even on its face; only its eyes revealed a sinister intent.
His long red mane made him look like the most ferocious demon, giving people a feeling of extreme cruelty and resentment, as if he wanted to kill all living beings.
“Red-haired monster…” Cao Ya thought to himself. The creatures in the writings of the Red-haired Emperor loved to grow red hair.
"You are Zhang Lin, the fifth generation Source Master?!" Ye Fan sensed something within his body and exclaimed in disbelief.
Hehe~~
The red-haired monster didn't answer, it just sneered.
With a sudden boom, a red-haired whirlwind abruptly arose, accompanied by a howling sound, plunging the entire interior of Purple Mountain into an eerie and increasingly dark atmosphere.
It seems that the legendary underworld has appeared here.
"Little Yezi, are you sure that red-haired monster is the fifth-generation Source Master?" Duan De's scalp tingled.
"I can't be wrong, I have a feeling," Ye Fan replied. But facing Zhang Lin, who was in his later years and had gone mad, he was helpless and unable to suppress the ominous signs or bring back the sanity of the Source Celestial Master.
Oh, right, Sage Cao is here...
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.
Upon seeing the red-haired monster, the old blind man, the Black Emperor, and Duan De all quietly retreated, their faces showing fear.
"The curse of the Source Celestial Master?" Cao Ya was intrigued. This curse seemed to have originated from an ancient emperor.
The creature covered in red fur gave a sinister smile, and instantly, eighty-one large black banners rose up, fluttering loudly, surrounding the area and intending to refine Cao Ya and Ye Fan.
That was an ancient treasure that the red-haired monster had obtained by chance. It originally belonged to the group of vengeful ghosts in the crystal coffin. It was personally refined by the immortal emperor of that time, and the eighty-one banners were combined into one, possessing unparalleled ancient imperial power.
Besides imperial weapons, the ancient emperors and great emperors of the ultimate path also forge other weapons, but they are not as meticulously crafted as the imperial and royal weapons.
For example, Emperor Hengyu once forged a divine weapon for his friend from the Ziwei Ancient Star.
Time is merciless, and the long years have worn it down. Even though it was forged by the ancient emperor himself, it is now incomplete, the banner is worn and worn, and it no longer has the power it once had.
Of course, since it was crafted by an ancient emperor, it still retains some of its immortal divinity, surrounded by a dark aura.
Upon seeing this, Cao Ya frowned deeply, equally wary.
Anything involving emperors or sovereigns is extraordinary and terrifying.
He dared not be careless at all.
"The Devouring Demon Jar, may I borrow it!"
Cao Ya borrowed the Devouring Demon Jar from Duan De and the old blind man, and activated this imperial weapon of the Ruthless Great Emperor.
Buzz~~~~
The aura of an emperor emanated, and terrifying demonic power surged forth, rippling outwards layer by layer.
The great banner forged by the Immortal Emperor seemed to be swaying in the wind and rain, on the verge of collapse.
"This power..." Duan De and the old blind man were shocked. In Cao Ya's hands, the power of the Devouring Demon Jar that had been revived far exceeded what they had been able to control.
They quickly realized that Cao Ya was probably a Saint King or a Great Saint, and had already begun to control the Imperial Weapon.
All the supreme imperial weapons and ancient royal weapons in the world are in a dormant state. Except when they sense other imperial weapons and royal weapons and are stimulated to begin to revive, if they are activated by cultivators, even those below the level of saints can use them, but in fact they cannot display the unparalleled divine power of imperial weapons and royal weapons at all.
Snap~~~~~
The eighty-one flags made a sound, and tiny cracks appeared on them. If this continued, they would inevitably collapse.
It is true that they were personally refined by the Immortal Emperor, and they are indeed engraved with ancient divine script and ancient imperial patterns, but their materials are not immortal materials such as Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, Dragon Pattern Black Gold, or Immortal Tear Green Gold, and they cannot withstand the imperial might released by the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
It would be more like it was the Undying Heavenly Blade instead.
Boom!
Cao Ya activated the Devouring Demon Jar, releasing a terrifying aura of an emperor. Intricate patterns appeared, like waves, spreading forward and destroying everything in their path.
He struggled to control the imperial weapon, keeping it away from the crowd.
With Ye Fan by my side, there's not much to worry about the Devouring Demon Jar going out of control.
However, Duan De, the blind old man, and the Black Emperor did not receive special treatment from the Devouring Demon Jar.
Well, it's hard to say. Otherwise, why would Duan De and the old blind man be allowed to control the Devouring Demon Jar?
Click!
Under the complete power of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, all eighty-one banners were shattered into dust in no time.
This was quite unexpected, after all, the Devouring Demon Jar was a flawless imperial weapon, and it was activated by Cao Ya, who was equivalent to a Great Sage.
All I can say is that those eighty-one banners, inscribed with the Emperor's divine script, are indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, the Devouring Demon Jar does not belong to Cao Ya and cannot be used at will.
Cao Ya guessed that if Ye Fan were to use it, the Devouring Demon Jar would likely be completely revived very easily.
