"The situation is very bad!"
The ancient sun god whispered, his nerves on edge.
The Moon Goddess frowned, looking worried, and transmitted her voice, saying, "The great ship of Heaven is about to sink. We must obtain the method of Cao Tianzun as soon as possible, evacuate Xuandu, return to the ancestral court, and hide."
The ancient sun god nodded emphatically.
Cao Ya's strength has exceeded expectations time and time again. They pondered that, apart from Tai Yi, who else in the entire Seventeenth Era could rival Cao Ya, the Celestial Venerable?
Even the Emperor Tai would probably pale in comparison.
The difference between relying on oneself and depending on external resources is quite obvious.
They did indeed envy the Dao Fruit within the Heavenly Court of the Divine Emperor Langxuan, but they would never do what the Divine Emperor Langxuan did, taking it for himself and even opening up the most fundamental Heavenly Palace to allow it to operate and be imbued with profound magical energy.
Being targeted by a prehistoric enlightened being who can see through everything is no laughing matter.
"Boom..."
Sword energy descended, golden Buddhist light swayed, and there were faint sounds of Zen and chanting.
The Yin and Yang energies circulated, forming a Tai Chi diagram that blocked the Buddha's light and also resisted the sword energy.
Even though the two ancient Taiji gods had not reached their peak, they were still very powerful when they joined forces, and were also genuine Celestial Venerables.
They were no match for the complete Cao Ya, but they could hold their own against only a portion of his divine power.
"Cao Tianzun, I have a plan that can help you achieve a great victory!" the Ancient Sun God suddenly transmitted, seemingly trying to persuade Cao Ya to stand on his side.
The Goddess Taiyin also transmitted her voice, urgently saying, "As long as you, fellow Daoist, reveal your method of attaining Dao, we will not only stop, but we are even willing to follow your orders to kill Consort Qiangtian and Emperor Langxuan."
They knew that the overall battle situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and their fate was merely to help the four Celestial Venerables barely resist Cao Celestial Venerable.
As for what will happen next, no one can say for sure.
It's highly likely that Heaven will lose.
Before that, they must make their demands, obtain what they desire, turn around and run away, find a place to hide, and carefully study it. Even an enlightened being would not be able to find trouble with them.
Cao Ya gave a cold laugh.
I had already guessed the schemes of these two ancient Tai Chi masters.
As for the claims about obeying orders and turning against their side, Cao Ya didn't believe them at all.
The Moon Goddess looked displeased and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you not trust us? The Ancient God of Taiji keeps his word."
The Ancient Sun God said grimly, "We still have trump cards that we haven't used yet. Are you really not worried about your safety, fellow Daoist? You should know that you are facing six Heavenly Venerables and six Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerables!"
The threat was palpable.
Cao Ya sneered. Ever since the two Taiji Ancient Gods came down and saved Qiang Tianfei, Cao Ya's killing intent towards them had been extremely strong.
"With the support of the Forty-Nine Heavenly Daos, what am I afraid of!"
Cao Ya thought to himself that with his abilities, he could easily handle even two more Taiji Ancient Gods.
Although she did not answer, Cao Ya's attitude was already very clear, and the Sun God and the Moon Goddess felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
"Since he's so arrogant, let's use our most precious treasure to teach him a lesson," the Ancient Sun God said coldly.
"People throughout the universe all say that you have to use both kindness and severity, a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. We haven't picked up the big stick, so naturally Cao Ya Tianzun isn't afraid," the Taiyin Niangniang said coldly. "Let me show you that the Taiji Ancient God is not just a name without substance."
The ancient sun god, a cruel smile playing on his lips, said, "If we beat him until he can't take it anymore, he will naturally submit and willingly hand over the method to achieve enlightenment, hoping we will retreat."
The Goddess of the Moon said indifferently, "At that time, he won't have a choice."
The ancient sun god whispered, "Simple methods of attaining enlightenment will not appease us. We need top-tier secret treasures to quell our anger. Otherwise... if Cao Yatianzun dies, Mu Tianzun and the others will also perish, and the entire Yan Kang will be annihilated!"
The two ancient Tai Chi gods communicated telepathically and quickly devised a plan.
Their actions did not escape Cao Ya's notice. Even though he did not know the specific content of their conversation, he could roughly guess what they were talking about.
“The Taiji Ancient Gods are capable of anything to attain the Dao. Their strength is not weak, and they also possess innate treasures. When activated together, their power is quite formidable. I cannot be careless,” Cao Ya warned.
Before the Taiji Ancient God could even make a move, countless sword lights swept across the area, dazzlingly bright and unparalleled in the world.
"How arrogant!" the ancient sun god roared in anger, his yang energy surging and breaking through the clouds.
Beside him, the Yin Goddess was also enveloped in Yin energy, which connected with Yang energy. In the end, a supreme treasure appeared, lying across the sky of Xuandu, seemingly able to suppress heaven and earth, and be invincible throughout the past, present and future!
The ultimate treasure of Tai Chi!
The companions of the two ancient gods.
Driven by them, Yin and Yang energies were injected, the Tai Chi treasure rotated, the Heavenly Dao was pushed back, the laws were overturned, and only the Tai Chi Daoist charm existed here.
"Suppress!" the two ancient gods roared, and the Tai Chi treasure descended, enveloping Cao Ya with chilling killing intent.
Cao Ya narrowed his eyes slightly.
Many special ancient gods are accompanied by precious treasures.
The same applies to beings like the Taiji Ancient God, whose origins are extraordinary. The Taiji Treasure is considered the pinnacle of the universe, and few artifacts can rival it.
"Hmm, those two divine swords are worth comparing. If they are fully refined, there is even a chance to surpass them." As a swordsman, Cao Ya had a great fondness for divine swords.
He gathered his thoughts, and a Dharma form appeared, like the Immovable King, standing tall and upright, like a primordial deity, even more majestic than the Heavenly Emperor from before.
"Whoosh~~~"
At the same time, the void shattered, and countless identical Dharma forms leaped out of thin air, their hands clasped together, chanting Buddhist mantras. Then, they erupted with the wrath of the Bright King, striking out with their palms. The light of decay and prosperity was hazy, and the Buddhist sound resounded throughout the Xuandu Great Realm. It was terrifying, causing people's souls to tremble. Countless gods and demons trembled and couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground.
This is the martial arts technique of Cao Ya, the Supreme Being of the Universe. He is a master of Shaolin Temple and has inherited the "Buddha's Palm" technique. Later, he obtained the Bodhi of Withered Glory, the general outline of the palm technique. After years of study, his cultivation is truly profound, making him a master among the five-star level.
"Boom..."
The Yin and Yang energies exploded, the Buddha's light emanated, and numerous enormous Dharma images unleashed their palms, their golden light dazzling, causing the Tai Chi treasure to tremble violently and collapsing the void.

Divine light soared into the sky, and unparalleled pressure quickly spread outwards, causing all the gods to tremble.
Even the other celestial beings couldn't help but turn their heads, their expressions filled with astonishment.
When the light faded, the enormous Dharma form vanished, turning into a rain of light that dissipated into the Xuandu world.
The sword energy and Buddhist light remained intense, confronting the yin and yang energies, constantly colliding and tearing apart the void, though slightly less powerful and explosive than before.
The gods sensed this and trembled, their fear surging forth uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao flowed, releasing various magical energies that cleansed the universe, blocking those peak auras from millions of miles away and protecting the gods of Xuandu.
The Heavenly Army, commanded by the Emperor, formed a battle formation, far apart and seasoned by countless battles, and managed to hold on without collapsing.
"That is..." The divine child's orifice contracted, and the Taiji treasure that flowed with the divine light of Yin and Yang energies, hovering in the sky, had a gap, which was very deep and almost tore it in two!
How terrible this is!
The Tai Chi Treasure was conceived by one of the Five Great Daos and is the companion treasure of two ancient Tai Chi gods. In the future, it is expected to become a powerful artifact of the universe, suppressing the order of heaven and earth.
Even now, it would easily rank among the top ten in the world.
It should be noted that the Primordial Emperor Sword, the companion treasure of the ancient god Emperor Taichu, was stolen by Taichu and became an important aid in his creation of the Great Luo Heaven and the ultimate void of his divine consciousness. After all, Taichu's path to enlightenment was not perfect and had flaws, so he relied on external objects to create the Great Luo Heaven.
Tai Chu and Tai Ji are both part of the Five Great Daos, sharing the same status and rank. These supreme treasures are also of the same level.
Therefore, it can be seen that the Tai Chi treasure is truly top-notch, and anyone who obtains it will cherish it.
However, under the ferocious onslaught of Cao Yatianzun, the Taiji Treasure, a supreme artifact of the universe, was actually breached?!
And there are even signs of complete collapse?!
The gods and demons in heaven and on earth were all shocked and filled with fear.
Such a scene is beyond imagination. Even if it happened in reality and I saw it with my own eyes, it is still hard to accept.
“Our companion treasure is actually… This is impossible!” The ancient sun god was stunned.
"A treasure nurtured by the Great Dao of Taiji was actually damaged by a Daoist who has attained enlightenment in all realms?!" The Goddess Taiyin was shocked.
Such priceless treasures, existing since time immemorial, why were they destroyed?
Is the power of an enlightened being really that terrifying?
Most importantly, the two Taiji Ancient Gods knew that Cao Ya Tianzun's laws that dealt with them were only a part of the problem; death energy, lightning, and flames were also attacking other experts.
If they faced each other one-on-one, wouldn't they be... completely annihilated, weapon and all, in just one or two rounds?!
The ancient sun god and the moon goddess were heartbroken and terrified.
Can they really coerce Cao Tianzun into submitting?
The four Heavenly Venerables—Gong Tianzun, Langxuan Shenhuang, Yuanmu Furen, and Qiang Tianfei—also looked uneasy.
Cao Ya's gaze was deep and thoughtful as he pondered how to uncover the weaknesses of the Taiji Ancient God and end their lives.
Of course, while pondering, Cao Ya's mental energy was scattered as he manipulated different profound laws to fight against the Heavenly Venerable.
"Bang bang bang!!!!"
A violent collision caused the world to spin. Of Madam Yuanmu's four divine artifacts, the Imperial Celestial Venerable, Cao Ya's death intent spread and destroyed one. The remaining three joined forces to block the endless blade light.
Among them is the divine artifact Yutianzun, which corresponds to Lady Yuanmu herself. Guixu Heavenly Court is profound and devours all things.
There are also those similar to Haotianzun, whose innate primordial energy is boiling. That is a unique technique created by Haotianzun based on his own situation and combined with the laws of Taichu and Guixu.
Or like Consort Qiangtian, whose divine sense surged, and layer upon layer of illusory worlds appeared one by one, containing the light of the blade, only to be pierced through in an instant, unable to withstand it for even a moment.
Fortunately, the three divine artifacts, the Heavenly Venerable and Lady Yuanmu, were under control of their split thoughts. Since they were not the original bodies, Lady Yuanmu could disregard the losses and unleash her full power in times of crisis, fighting with her life on the line. Therefore, they were able to withstand the blade's edge and were not defeated.
"Crackling and popping..."
Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and the sky was torn apart.
Cao Ya activated his lightning techniques from different universes, combining them to directly attack the two divine artifacts, Yu Tianzun, belonging to Gong Tianzun and Qiang Tianfei.
At the same time, brilliant light, profound darkness, raging winds, and surging flames, different laws suppressed the last divine artifact belonging to the Langxuan Divine Emperor, the Imperial Heavenly Venerable.
"Whoosh~~"
Deathly energy engulfed the mountains and rivers. Madam Yuanmu and the Heavenly Venerable Gong fought back with all their might. The Heavenly Court of Guixu trembled as if a great abyss lay across it, and the Great Dragon Divine Spear roared, capable of piercing the heavens!
But the overwhelming sense of death caused the two Celestial Venerables to cough up blood, their beautiful faces turning deathly pale.
This death intent originated from Cao Ya in the [Covering the Sky] universe, who was already at a high level among the five-star advanced levels, and whose swordsmanship was no weaker than that of Cao Ya in [The Legend of the Shepherd God].
Therefore, suppressing the true forms of the two Celestial Venerables is not a big deal.
Meanwhile, the situation was also dire for Langxuan Divine Emperor and Qiangtian Consort. Under the attack of sword energy, Kunpeng phantom, six black holes, five elements immortal light, vast celestial river, and mysterious formations, they were in imminent danger and their lives were hanging by a thread.
The newly added Taiji Ancient God, under the bombardment of another part of the sword light and golden Buddhist light, was also in a precarious state, with the Taiji treasure trembling and cracks appearing everywhere.
Clearly, Cao Ya, who was already extremely powerful, was further empowered by the influence of the Heavenly Emperor, which granted him a certain degree of blessing. His combat strength surpassed that of all cultivators in the universe. Even with an opponent equivalent to twelve Heavenly Venerables, he was still no match for him and suffered repeated defeats.
Such a scene shocked Xuandu, and countless gods and demons were terrified.
The morale of the Heavenly Army plummeted once again.
After all, a quick glance revealed that the Ancestral God King and Hong Tianzun on the other side were not in much better shape.
Above the Milky Way, Haotian Venerable, Empress Dowager, Xutian Venerable, and Huotian Venerable were entangled with Kaihuang, Langwan Divine King, Youtian Venerable, and Yuetian Venerable as their opponents, but they could not break free and rushed into Xuandu to help that group of celestial venerables.
"Boom!!"
Countless strands of sword energy shot towards the heavens and earth, slashing at ancient gods and spilling blood across the sky.
"Whoosh!!"
The blade flashed brightly, slicing away the divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable. It was made from top-tier materials obtained by the Heavenly Court from the myriad realms, and had intricate patterns engraved on it. It was originally extremely powerful, but Cao Ya's blade sliced horizontally, directly severing arms and legs, and even piercing the chest. It destroyed the magic array and ruined the integrity of the weapon. Its power began to decline, and it gradually became unable to support the Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Venerables.
Even though it was just a broken Heavenly Court, its burden was still enormous.
"Could it be that today, with victory in our grasp, we came here to flatten Xuandu, extinguish the flames of resistance in all realms, and eliminate a great threat, so that the rule of the Heavenly Court could last forever, unshakable?"
"Who would have thought that this day would be our final chapter."
As Gong Tianzun spoke, he let out a long sigh.
This was the second time she had been on the verge of death.
Last time, the ancient god Emperor Taichu loved her and couldn't bring himself to kill her, giving her a chance to be resurrected.
Ke Gong Tianzun knew very well that Cao Ya was not Tai Chu. Not only was he stronger, but his decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing were also far superior.
Cao Ya has none of the flaws of the Primordial One, such as lust, cruelty, and ruthlessness.
Apart from his origins, the ancient god Emperor Taichu had no other aspect that could compare to Cao Ya.
"No matter how good your background is, if you lack strength, Tai Chu will only face death if he faces Cao Tianzun." Gong Tianzun smiled bitterly.
