"Great God of Wind and Fire, I know exactly why you've come, but you're destined to return empty-handed."
The voice of the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley echoed beneath the sky, vast and resounding, heard in all directions.
Numerous primordial beings danced around the giant crouching willow tree, guarding the Valley Master.
"A confrontation between two Perfected Realm experts!" The Demon Heart God Emperor was very excited. Such a scene might not happen even once in trillions of years in the God Realm, and he had actually encountered it on his first visit to Fuliu Valley...
The Demon Heart God Emperor did not believe that the Wind and Fire God could defeat the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley here.
Although the record of the God of Wind and Fire is extremely fierce.
Perhaps, the defeats of the City Lord of Dongmu and the City Lord of Jinyi are not surprising to those at the Perfect Realm.
But the demise of the Ghost Sea Palace Master was truly terrifying.
In other places, even the Demon Heart God Emperor wouldn't dare say that Valley Master Fu Liu could stop the rapidly rising Wind and Fire God.
However, this is Fuliu Valley, the Valley Master's home ground, and it is aided by many Hunyuan life forms!
Leaving aside his Demon Heart God Emperor, among the surrounding heroes, even the weakest among them was at the early stage of God Emperor.
Several others, like him, were renowned experts on the "God Emperor Ranking".
They are certainly qualified to assist Valley Master Fu Liu in fighting the attacking Wind and Fire God!
They are all top-tier powerhouses among the top thousand in the God Realm, who would be weak?
Moreover, they are not the main force; by wandering around and trying to distract the Wind and Fire God, they can at least share the burden for Valley Master Fuliu.
"If the Valley Master wins... will he directly enter the top ten in the next edition of the God Emperor Ranking?" The Demon Heart God Emperor hoped that the stronger the Valley Master Fu Liu was and the more powerful his backing was, the more confident he would be in conquering Junshan City.
Not only him, but all the Hunyuan beings around him were excited.
They wanted to drag down the God of Wind and Fire and step on him to rise to power... Ever since the news of the death of the Ghost Sea Palace Master spread, the name of the God of Wind and Fire has become increasingly terrifying, making him qualified enough to become the stepping stone for the Valley Master of Fuliu!
"Whoosh..." The branches of that majestic willow tree trembled slightly, filling the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the grand voice of Valley Master Fu Liu resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Great God of Wind and Fire, as an ascendant, you are among the strongest. Even God Emperor Yan Fei and the others are about the same as you, capable of fighting against a God Emperor at the Perfection level!"
“Throughout history, there are only one or two people who are truly stronger than you, all of whom are unparalleled talents… Well, if we include the missing Perfect Realm Ascendants, there are two or three more!”
"However, this only considers the practitioners of your system of rules and mysteries, without taking into account the bloodline system that is most widely spread and most influential in the God Realm, as well as the primordial life forms with the most sacred origins like us."
"In the current God Emperor Ranking, I must admit that I am not as good as God Emperor Yunfeng."
"But other top ten powerhouses, such as the Iron Dragon City Lord and the Demon Shadow Sect Master, are just different in their own way. For example, the Iron Dragon City Lord is second in the God Realm in head-on combat, while the Demon Shadow Sect Master is second in the God Realm in flying speed... I, on the other hand, am one of the top three primordial beings in the God Realm, and my defensive abilities are top-notch in the world!"
“The Lord of Zhen Tian and the Fire Phoenix God Emperor are innate primordial beings on par with me. Of course, our talents are not the same, and the Dao techniques we are good at are also very different.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya looked at the crouching willow tree and understood what the other person meant.
"Are you saying that below the Cloud Phoenix God Emperor, those of you at the Perfect Realm are all equal?"
Valley Master Fu Liu seemed to smile slightly, but then denied it, saying, "No, you misunderstand."
Even among those who have reached the peak of the God Emperor realm, there are differences in strength.
"In the vast God Realm, the Cloud Phoenix God Emperor stands alone at the top. But between the second and teenth place, in essence, there is not much difference. At most, there are differences in the strength of treasures, the restraint of talents, and the superiority or inferiority of spells, nothing more."
"The remaining twenty or thirty are in another tier—the worst, undoubtedly those at the Perfect Realm!"
Cao Ya laughed and said, "It seems that I and the Ghost Sea Palace Master are the worst group in your eyes."
Valley Master Fu Liu said, "That's right. Great God of Wind and Fire, although you have many techniques, to break through my defenses... hehe, if you can even injure me slightly, then you'll be considered capable."
These words clearly demonstrate Valley Master Fu Liu's confidence. You must know that Cao Ya's killing power had already annihilated Ghost Sea Palace Master, a God Emperor at the peak of his power. With such a precedent, he was still completely unafraid...
"In fact, the reason I'm only ranked twelfth on the God Emperor Ranking is because I'm too lazy to move," Valley Master Fu Liu said calmly. "I rarely take action and have no achievements. As for my specific abilities, unless the patriarch of the Heavenly Heart Tower... no, the Heavenly Heart Clan, personally takes action, what can a few ordinary God Emperors possibly know from the information they gather?"
"It's just in time that you've arrived; you'll only add to my glory."
"Suppressing a late-stage God Emperor who has ascended to immortality still carries a lot of weight."
"If I can't make it into the top ten next time the results are released... then it can only mean that Tianxin Tower has no vision and is a bunch of short-sighted people."
The chaotic beings from all directions were excited upon hearing this, eagerly anticipating the rise in Master Fuliu's ranking.
They want to prove that lower-level primordial life forms are not the means for ascendants or the advancement of bloodline systems!
Rather, it is a powerful system capable of dominating the divine realm and shaking the world!
“The Valley Master is very confident. Coincidentally, I have the same confidence and I can break into the top ten next time,” Cao Ya said.
"Having reached our level, the steadfastness of their Dao resolve is beyond words," Valley Master Fu Liu said indifferently. "You will not return empty-handed, but will die here..."
As he spoke, Valley Master Fu Liu paused for a moment, then changed the subject:
"Hmm, I won't kill you. I'll imprison you and make you my servant... It would be quite nice to have a late-stage God Emperor serving me."
"If you create a superior method and pass it all on to me, I might just set you free if I'm in a good mood."
The consensus, enlightenment, and ascension of the divine realm are the pinnacle!
Although there are differences in attitudes toward ascended beings among different bloodline systems and lower-level primordial life forms.
But if a powerful ascendant could join him, offer advice, and create suitable secret techniques... he would be overjoyed!
Within Fuliu Valley, there are countless life forms of the Chaos Origin Realm, and even the weakest among them are at the God Emperor Realm. In terms of talent and supernatural abilities, none of them are lacking; they are all powerful, and some even possess extremely abnormal talents, which have caught the attention of the Fuliu Valley Master.
However, the powerful figures also "know how" this ability exists, but not why it exists.
Although they can apply it freely, they do not understand its essence, cannot expand upon it, and have failed to step into the rule system.
Many of the tricks they figured out on their own were full of loopholes in the eyes of the ascended beings, and were simply a matter of relying on their innate supernatural powers to suppress others by force.
This is naturally the way of the king and the hegemon, but a problem arises: when people of the same level are not significantly different in strength, the ascendant, due to the superiority of his magic, has a much greater amplification effect. So when they fight, if it is not to say that he will crush the opponent, it is almost the same.
Otherwise, why would an ascended being rebel against a celestial being for no reason?
Clearly, the reputation of the Wind and Fire God had tempted Valley Master Fuliu to subdue him.
"Haha, I did come here this time to create a method of immortality, but only on the premise of dissecting all of you low-level chaotic life forms," Cao Yalang laughed.
Before he finished speaking, the heroes of Fuliu Valley were all enraged.
Are they treating them like meat on a chopping board?!
The enormous, crouching willow tree also exuded a chilling aura.
"Since the day I was born, for countless years, no one has ever dared to show such contempt for me."
The Valley Master of Fuliu Valley suddenly attacked, his branches like divine swords shattering the sky.
The heroes of Fuliu Valley roared, unleashing their divine power. The brilliance of their innate magic intertwined with the earth, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
"Is this the source of Fuliu Valley's confidence?" The Demon Heart God Emperor was shocked. Every branch and the spreading divine light made him smell the scent of death.
"Demon Heart God Emperor, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you making a move?" the God Emperor shouted from the side.
"Alright!" Demon Heart God Emperor hurriedly replied, going all out to cooperate with Valley Master Fuliu and the other heroes to besiege the Wind and Fire God.
Having joined the ranks of these low-level chaotic life forms, they naturally wouldn't back down in the face of battle.
The main problem is that he didn't see the opportunity for the God of Wind and Fire to win!
Whether or not they can escape Fuliu Valley is another matter entirely.
With this understanding, the Demon Heart God Emperor naturally did not want to leave a bad impression on the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley.
He also wanted to rely on the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley to take revenge on the Yufeng family of Junshan City and plunder their resources!
"As expected of a major power in the divine realm, they have mobilized their entire force; they are so formidable."
However, to everyone's surprise, Cao Ya was in the mood to express his admiration.
Compared to the Palace Master of Ghost Sea, the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley is indeed a bit more powerful.
As for the magic of the heroes... to be honest, it's not much of a threat.
"If it were any other God Emperor at the peak of their power, even one of the top ten or so, they would be shocked by this scene. However, I am not afraid of being besieged. With the Void Realm Dao in hand, such measures are basically ineffective."
Cao Ya remained calm and composed. The Void Realm Path was already at the second level, containing an illusory world.
The five profound principles of the Void Realm Path—"World," "Desire," "Illusion," "Destruction," and "Soul"—have all been mastered, but the integration of them remains a mystery.
But that's enough, after all, Cao Ya has cultivated more than just the Void Realm Dao.
The Body Refinement Path, the Void Path, the Fire Path, the Wind Path, and the Lightning Path all have very different attributes, so I won't go into detail about them.
However, once the paths of cause and effect, destiny, and reincarnation are activated, they can naturally assist the path of the void.
In particular, Cao Ya also has a Niwan Palace world!
"Boom!!" Suddenly, a virtual world appeared, its mysterious wonders covering the entire Fuliu Valley. The souls of all the heroes, including the Demon Heart God Emperor and even the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley, were dragged into the virtual world, constantly falling into that illusory world, seemingly about to lose their way and become disoriented.
Immediately, the group of low-level Chaos Origin life forms fell silent, almost completely dead.
Even those in the mid-stages, such as the Demon Heart God Emperor who made it onto the list, were no exception.
Cao Ya's illusory realm wasn't particularly strong, but with the support of other Great Daos, it became extremely terrifying.
It can cause most God Emperors to lose their souls and have their power scattered, so how can it pose a threat to him?
Only the late-stage Chaos Origin Lifeform and two mid-stage God Emperors with unique talents who leaned towards the Soul lineage managed to maintain their consciousness.
"What kind of trick is this???" They looked at Cao Ya in the sky with horror in their eyes.
Only by exerting all our strength can we achieve a sliver of clarity; a moment's carelessness and we'll lose our way just as easily!
Such supernatural power is simply unimaginable; all group attacks are ineffective against it.
The talents of lower-level primordial life forms have virtually no room to be displayed in the face of such a great Dao.
Even the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley felt the pull of the illusory realm, and his strength was reduced by at least 30%!
"This is... the Void Realm Dao among the Ascended? How can it be so powerful?"
Valley Master Fu Liu was astonished. His knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary primordial beings, and he had heard of all the great Daos within the system of rules and mysteries.
However, only a very few ascendants have cultivated the Void Realm Path, and their attainments are generally mediocre and not worth mentioning.
Unlike the God of Wind and Fire, who could easily defeat ordinary God Emperors, he was instantly killed.
Those at the later stages, even those at the Perfect Realm, will be significantly affected.
In reality, the first level alone couldn't affect anything above the level of a Divine Lord; and the second level could only barely interfere with a Divine Lord. The reason Cao Ya's second-level Void Realm Dao had such a formidable effect was inseparable from the Void Realm technique he created. Of course, Dongbo Xueying's Void Realm technique, other secret techniques of his own soul, and the power enhancement from the Dao with deeper connections also played crucial roles, and it wasn't just one reason.
"Not just the virtual world!" Suddenly, Cao Ya grinned, and with a thought, the Niwan Palace world fell down again.
"???" At this moment, Valley Master Fu Liu was completely stunned.
"Ah!!!" He couldn't help but roar. The huge willow tree supported the sky, and every branch was like a divine chain of the Great Dao, comparable to immortal immortal gold.
However, due to the suppression in the Niwan Palace world, the willow branches collapsed one after another, and the prostrate willow trees were all bent over, almost broken!
"Valley Master!" The three powerful and lucid God Emperors rushed to the aid of Valley Master Fu Liu.
They could see clearly that if the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley were to perish, they would only follow in his footsteps.
Only by protecting the Valley Master can they have a glimmer of hope.
"Rumble..." Cao Ya's eyes swept across the area, revealing a three-headed, six-armed being. He formed a hand seal with his two hands, and a large amount of divine light surged forth.
"Ah..." Immediately, the three God Emperors were also submerged and unable to break free. With the loss of energy and the dragging of the void, they became increasingly weak, their faces pale and their eyes filled with fear.
"Whoosh!" However, before they could beg for mercy, Cao Ya pointed out a finger, and a radiant light floated, exuding a strange divine light, carrying the Dao of Reincarnation. This caused the three seriously injured people to become mentally confused in an instant, and they finally lost their guard. This allowed the Void Realm to take advantage of their vulnerability and completely tear off their souls. They were swallowed up by the Void Realm and fell into endless illusions, unable to distinguish them and unable to wake up.
So, like the other god-emperors, they stood there blankly, their eyes vacant, seemingly foolish.
Only the Valley Master of Fuliu Valley remains, still fighting Cao Ya.
However, with the suppression of the Niwan Palace world outside and the dragging of the Void Realm inside, even though Master Fuliu Valley is strong, how much power does he still have to fight Cao Ya?
"Damn the Wind and Fire God!" Valley Master Fu Liu was very aggrieved.
His extraordinary skills were rendered useless, as the two worlds, one inside and one outside, had weakened his strength by at least 50%!
Even if the remaining ones are not weak, they can still defeat a late-stage God Emperor.
However, when facing later-stage ascendants, Valley Master Fu Liu knew he would be at a disadvantage.
"However, God of Wind and Fire, don't be so smug. I've been operating in Fuliu Valley for countless years. How could I not have a backup plan?"
