【Covering the Sky】The Universe.
Cao Ya in this universe is quite unlucky. He was born in the era when the Devouring Emperor attained enlightenment. At that time, the ruthless man became emperor, known as "Devouring Heaven," and was invincible throughout the past, present, and future.
However, none of that has anything to do with Cao Ya of [Covering the Sky], because he and the Devouring Emperor are completely unrelated.
Ultimately, Cao Ya of [Covering the Sky] was forced to flee to Purple Mountain due to the pursuit of the Four Immortal Saints. By chance, he was sealed in the Divine Source. It wasn't until more than 200,000 years later, during a great change in the world, that Ye Fan, Duan De, and the Old Blind Man arrived with the Black Emperor as guides, holding the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, and finally dug him out of the Divine Source, allowing him to reappear in the world.
At that time, Cao Ya from "Covering the Sky" happened to enter a system space and share power with other Cao Yas. With the peak realm of the Immortal King of the Third Immortal Realm, he possessed power comparable to the Great Sage of the Sixth Immortal Realm.
After his birth, Cao Ya of [Covering the Sky] wielded the supreme imperial weapon—the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar—and comprehended the Dao principles, which touched him and brought him close to the point of extreme revival. He almost reproduced the terror of the Devouring Heaven Emperor, his power was terrifying, and his imperial aura covered the infinite universe and filled the vast starry sky.
Then, Cao Ya, wielding the Devouring Demon Jar, annihilated the ancient royal family of the Divine Valley. His divine blood was scattered across the heavens and earth, irrigating the Eastern Wilderness. The surging energy shook a vast region.
Such astonishing feats terrified many ancient races, even the ancient royal families were moved.
While inspecting the Eastern Wilderness with the Devouring Demon Jar, Cao Ya eventually arrived at the Ancient Forbidden Land. Because of the Devouring Demon Jar, he also encountered the Ruthless Great Emperor in the Ancient Forbidden Land.
The Ruthless Great Emperor was at a crucial moment in his journey to immortality in the mortal world, and his Dao Fruit had separated from his true form, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He only glanced at it and then paid attention to Ye Fan, who was traveling with him.
Taking advantage of the situation, Cao Ya used the Devouring Demon Jar to send Zhang Lin, the fifth-generation Source Master, into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, which was tacitly approved by the Ruthless Great Emperor.
Afterwards, Cao Ya arrived at the Stone Village in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness, met with Xiao Nannan, and then officially began his seclusion.
As for the Devouring Demon Jar, it was returned to Duan De and the Old Blind Man respectively. It belonged to the two of them, and Cao Ya only borrowed it after his birth.
While Cao Ya was in seclusion, Ye Fan, Duan De, and the Black Emperor ventured into the Eastern Wilderness, where they would engage in battles with the emerging ancient races, as well as the ancient holy lands and aristocratic families.
At this moment, Ye Fan is at the Great Perfection of Immortal 2, only one step away from Immortal 3.
However, in the game "Chinese Paladin 3," Ye Fan is a master of severing the Dao, and he hasn't fully figured out what the Dao he wants to sever is.
Just as the world was undergoing a great change, the ancient races, which had been sealed away for millions of years, emerged to regain control of the land and compete for cultivation resources. Inevitably, they would have to confront the human race, the most intelligent of all beings in the world today.
However, those among the sealed divine sources of the ancient races were either great figures who had become saints or extraordinary geniuses and goddesses. Compared to them, due to the previous restrictions of the Big Dipper Ancient Star—which did not allow sainthood—the human race seemed to have fallen at a disadvantage before awakening its inherent potential.
That's why Ye Fan and his group entered Zishan to seek help, and eventually unearthed Cao Ya, the fifth-generation Source Master Zhang Lin, and Yang Yi, the Yaochi Saintess from ten thousand years ago.
Of course, after Cao Ya inspected the Eastern Wilderness with the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the attitude of the ancient races softened significantly.
At this time, Yaochi sent out invitations, inviting all races from all over the world to gather at Yaochi and discuss the future situation on this ancient star.
The invitations sent out by Yaochi were engraved with simple drawings of the Western Emperor Pagoda, the Hengyu Furnace, and the Devouring Demon Jar.
Undoubtedly, this is a silent deterrent.
Anyone who dares to act recklessly at Yaochi at such a critical juncture will surely be annihilated by the three supreme imperial weapons!
Moreover, everyone knows that the Devouring Demon Jar was once in the hands of Cao Ya, the Great Sage during the era of the Devouring Emperor. If there wasn't some connection between them, who would believe it?
Although Cao Ya could confidently testify that there was really no connection and it was just a coincidence, such a coincidence was too much to ignore and would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
The Western Emperor Tower and the Hengyu Furnace are imperial weapons belonging to the Western Empress and the Hengyu Emperor, respectively. They are controlled by the succession of the two human emperors. It is hard to say whether there are any great figures from ancient times who are sealed away in Yaochi and the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family, waiting for a major change in the situation to break out of their seal.
The date for the grand gathering of all races at Yaochi is not far off, and powerful figures from all sides are gathering at Yaochi to compete with each other.
Since the great figures above the four immortal saints have not yet arrived, the younger generation of geniuses below them naturally have to arrive early to warm up the atmosphere and have a battle to see which of the various races is stronger.
Ye Fan, Hei Huang, Duan De, and the others also arrived at Yaochi ahead of time and even encountered the Holy Prince.
The Holy Prince had been hunted down by the Emperor's subordinates and had been in a rather sorry state for the past few months.
There was no other way; the Holy Prince had not yet grown up. Even with his exceptional talent, keen comprehension, and extraordinary temperament, he still needed time.
"Heh heh, that prince of the Heavenly Emperor has a good old man," Duan De muttered.
"What, you want to be the son of the Immortal Emperor?" Ye Fan asked.
"Get lost!" Duan De cursed, then revealed his true purpose, "Before the birth of the Heavenly Emperor's son, he was nourished by a source of creation. What a great fortune that is! If I had such a fortune, I would have become a saint long ago. Unlike that piece of trash, the Heavenly Emperor's son, who never dares to fight personally and only dares to let his servants do it."
"Whether I have it or not doesn't matter. My heart is as hard as iron, and I will eventually attain enlightenment." The Holy Prince stroked the black gold staff in his hand. His blood energy was restrained, but it was still golden and dazzling, appearing very fierce.
"Indeed, take that Ruthless Great Emperor, for example. She was just a mortal. Did she have any innate good fortune or acquired resources? She had none. She relied entirely on her own efforts to eventually reach the pinnacle, stepping over the corpses of countless kings, becoming invincible throughout history," Ye Fan said. He never believed that the Holy Body was the best in the world. The bloodlines of the previous generations of ancient emperors were also incomparable. Moreover, even a mortal could rise to power and dominate the four seas and eight wastelands as long as their Dao heart was firm.
Li Ruoyu of Zhuofeng in the Tai Xuan Sect is a prime example of this.
"At this grand gathering of all races in Yaochi, all the ancient royal families will be present. I wonder if any of them are Great Sages?" Duan De asked.
“Yes.” The Holy Prince nodded and said, “The ancient royal families, I dare not speak of quasi-emperors, after all, such beings are already very special, having been associated with the word ‘emperor’, but as for great saints, they basically all have beings who have been sealed away until now. After the great saint Cao Ya inspected the Eastern Wilderness with the ultimate imperial weapon, the great saints of the ancient royal families will surely be revived.”
"I'm worried that those ancient Great Saints will come with ancient imperial weapons." Ye Fan said with concern. So far, the only Great Saint among the human race is Cao Ya.
“They dare not declare war on the human race completely,” the Holy Prince said with certainty.
"Oh, how so?" Ye Fan asked hurriedly. The Holy Prince was the son of an ancient emperor, and his biological father was the last ancient emperor of the Primordial Era—the Fighting Holy Emperor. Naturally, he knew some secrets that were difficult for others to know.
"The human race also has a profound foundation. Because you seem to have overlooked one point: the human race has produced the most emperors and sovereigns of all races, and by a wide margin," the Holy Prince said meaningfully.
Ye Fan and Duan De exchanged a glance, both of them suddenly realizing something.
Their concern clouded their judgment, causing them to forget that the human race's foundation is actually incredibly profound.
"By the way, what about Black Emperor?" Duan De suddenly asked.
"He disappeared as soon as he entered Yaochi. I don't know where he went," Ye Fan said, shaking his head.
"Woof woof!!"
Suddenly, auspicious mist swirled around a sacred peak in Yaochi, accompanied by colorful clouds, creating a scene as beautiful as a poem or a painting. However, at that moment, the barking of dogs and the clamor of many voices could be heard.
"Quick, grab that big black dog! Damn it, if you want to catch me, you'll have to come back in your next life!" came an angry man's voice, followed by another chaotic scene.
Ye Fan, Duan De, and the Holy Prince looked at each other, speechless and too lazy to even complain.
"Let's just ignore that guy," Ye Fan said helplessly.
"The Yaochi Gathering is about to begin. Shouldn't the Great Sage Cao Ya be making his move soon?" Duan De asked expectantly.
They looked towards the direction of Shizhai, where Cao Ya Dasheng was still in seclusion and had not yet emerged.
