"Impressive!" Cao Ya secretly praised. The Blood Sea Queen "Xue Yun's" ability to cultivate on her own and gradually reach the state of "time stillness" is undoubtedly among the top in the God Realm!
Of the three Celestial Venerables, only the Feathered Celestial Venerable attained enlightenment through independent cultivation. The Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable and the Carefree Celestial Venerable actually comprehended the laws of spacetime only through initiation, making them inferior to the Blood Sea Queen.
As for Hongmeng and Linmeng, they have already transcended these limitations, so they naturally don't count.
Even including Qin Yu, who has not yet transcended, only Piaoyu Tianzun and Qin Yu himself have surpassed her.
The Asura God King "Luo Fan" is on par with her!
The rest are all inferior!
Cao Ya's situation is too unique to be easily compared.
As for the Linmeng Universe, Zhou Qing, normally the first independent Celestial Venerable, is currently only a god-man and has not yet risen to prominence. In the Northwest Thunder Punishment City, he suffers discrimination and abuse.
"Fortunately, I have the cheat code of the system space, otherwise, how could I become king and clash with them?"
Cao Ya was fortunate; otherwise, given his level of understanding, he would at most be a lower-level celestial being by now!
To be honest, he's not bad. He's over a hundred million years old, has attained the Dao of Godhood, and is considered a minor genius among the eight great royal families with extraordinary innate bloodlines.
But they won't be able to catch up with the arrival of the Heavenly Venerable Mountain; they'll have to wait another sixty quadrillion years!
At that time, Cao Ya himself was quite confident that he could break through to become a king.
They could compete for the Heavenly Venerable's treasure... but their strength was insufficient!
Today, many of us have cultivated different extraordinary systems, and have our own unique insights into the laws and rules of the Great Dao. Perhaps some of the principles are similar, but the universes are vastly different, and there are differences. However, with serious study, we can still draw inferences from one instance to another, which will drive our progress, lead to leaps and bounds, and shock the divine realm!
"Whoosh!" The purple-gold sword was swung, its light dazzling, piercing through the void and stirring up time!
Techniques such as "Slaying the Dao to See Me," "The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe," and "The Grass Character Sword Technique" were used by Cao Ya. When he unleashed them with the Purple Gold Sword, their power was terrifying and could threaten even the God King!
Moreover, the blue lightning hammer struck, thunder roared, and the sound reverberated through the sky, shattering space itself!
Fortunately, this is Tianzun Mountain, protected by some mysterious rule that prevents any damage.
Otherwise, the battle between dozens of god-kings would have already shattered the Asura Sea, and the God Realm continent would have fallen apart!
The vast territory stretches for trillions of miles and is the third plane of the [Stellar Transformation] universe. The space is incredibly stable, and even a five-star celestial being cannot fly!
It is not easy to cause destruction in such a boundary.
But this also makes the terror of Tianzun Mountain even more apparent!
After all, it was a mountain peak condensed by Lin Meng. The regular stone slab, the spiritual treasure mother cauldron, and the crimson membrane were things that even the three Heavenly Venerables could not accomplish except for Lin Meng himself.
"Whoosh..." Cao Ya unleashed the black and white divine blade again, the intent of life and death flowing through it.
He also brought out the artistic conception of light and darkness, which was very unique and alerted Xue Yun.
"Bang!" The sea of blood was cut open, the divine blade was sharp, and it fully demonstrated the power of a first-class spiritual treasure!
"Damn it!" Xue Yun's face was gloomy and he was quite angry.
Spiritual treasures of this level are extremely rare. Prior to this, the only known examples were the spiritual pearls of the eight royal families, the Blood Ruler of the Asura God King, and the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" of the Yi Feng God King.
Who could have imagined that Qin Yu, an ascendant, would become the new "God of Crafts" in such a short time?
He actually managed to refine a large number of magical treasures all at once, which was simply astonishing!
Xue Yun could sense that the laws Cao Ya activated—life, death, and darkness—were all quite ordinary, but the light was particularly ferocious and chilling!
With the enhancement of the Black and White Divine Blade, it became even more formidable; even her sea of blood could not withstand it!
The time-freezing effect was then broken by Cao Ya, who combined the eight fundamental laws!
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a lead in "time acceleration," Xue Yun wouldn't even want to fight Cao Ya!
In a battle of this level, her God-King Blood Slaves would hardly play a decisive role unless they outnumbered her by five or six times.
Didn't you see that group of heroes? They were already in small groups, forming a community. Now they've gone a step further, helping each other, with second-rate spiritual treasures shining brightly and divine light spreading. Together they are resisting the primordial light of the eight Holy Emperors, Cao Ya's power of law, and Luo Fan and Xue Yun's time-stopping ability!
The royal family and kings, working together, need not worry about the primordial spiritual light, but they are still wary of the power of time stillness and the power of laws.
Jiang Lan, Yi Feng, and Zuo Qiulin, relying on the four spiritual treasures, are also powerful in themselves and have a stage to perform on.
If the danger is truly intense, Cao Ya will not stand idly by; he will act promptly to help them repel the attack.
"Die!" the eight Holy Emperors roared, their spiritual pearls intertwining and radiating light, drawing upon the primal power of the divine realm, enough to freeze space!
Although it was neutralized by Luo Fan's "time freeze", its power was still not exhausted and rushed straight towards the Asura God King!
"Big brother!" The other three god-kings of the Asura Sea, the God-King of Pingtian, the God-King of Liulian, and the God-King of Anxun, all became anxious.
However, they cannot leave the group of kings, otherwise, any killing move from any of them could severely injure them, or even kill them instantly!
The Eight Great Holy Emperors, the Asura God King, Cao Ya, the Blood Sea Queen, the Royal Kings, the Three Kings of Misty City, and the remaining kings...
They were in the rear camp, and those ahead, except for the Asura God King, dared not let their guard down! All sorts of spells were surging, threatening their lives!
If we were to go independent, we would be in grave danger, and could die at any moment!
Only Luo Fan, Cao Ya, and Xue Yun are capable of forming their own faction on their own!
The Holy Emperors all need to form an alliance of eight! — Jiang Lan, Yi Feng, and Zuo Qiulin actually don't have much influence in this great melee; they need Cao Ya's help to be independent!
It's not that they aren't strong, but the other parties are just too abnormal!
"Don't come out!" Luo Fan quickly replied telepathically. The Blood Ruler pierced the air, drawing upon the primordial spiritual light and crashing into the others. Although he himself was sent flying tens of thousands of miles away, he ultimately escaped danger.
"Damn Asura God King!" The royal kings cursed. The eight Holy Emperors would never lay a hand on them, yet they too were attacked by the primordial spiritual light...
Fortunately, the Holy Emperors restrained the enemy, and the kings were also powerful, so they managed to hold them off without any casualties.
"Haha, this is truly the most spectacular battle since the beginning of time!"
The Blood Ruler flashed and landed in the palm of the Asura God King. He looked around and burst into laughter.
The long-lived god-kings all nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The last battle at Tianzun Mountain wasn't this intense!
Although there was a Nine Nether God King who could "stop time," he was too arrogant and was besieged by other God Kings, so he had no choice but to die in regret!
Moreover, among the current kings, there are at least three of them at the same level!
The other three kings of Misty City are also more powerful than they were in the past.
"This time, the Celestial Treasure is called the 'Floating World Seal,' which is divided into three parts. What has been revealed so far is only the first part—the Azure Heaven Seal!"
Jiang Fan's eyes darkened as he said, "Brother Luo Fan, instead of conserving your strength to compete for the strongest Myriad People Seal, if you are injured now, what will happen twenty years later..."
The Asura God King scoffed and said, "Jiang Fan, what nonsense are you spouting?"
The Blood Sea Queen sneered, "The competition for the Seal of Ten Thousand People will only become more intense! I will also compete for the Seal of the Azure Heaven and the Seal of Houtu ten years from now!"
As she spoke, she surveyed her surroundings and declared arrogantly, "I may not obtain it! But whoever wants the spiritual treasure must defeat me!"
Xue Yun glanced at the eight Holy Emperors again, his eyes filled with mockery, and said, "Of course, if those who are not strong enough unite, I will accept their offer."
Jiang Fan, Zhou Huo, and the others all frowned, clearly displeased.
When they became kings, these people were probably nowhere to be found!
Moreover, they were born into a royal family with a first-class spiritual treasure protecting their clan, which shows their noble lineage.
What other kings are they even worthy of being compared to?
In the world of cultivation, no matter how you look at it, power is the key!
Might makes right!
For example, Cao Ya, who had only just entered the second stage, was surrounded by various laws and managed to suppress the Blood Sea Queen. He was practically on par with the Asura God King at full strength! He was ridiculously strong!
Even though Cao Ya was born as an ordinary human in the divine realm, who would dare say that Cao Ya was not noble enough?
Just like the Asura God King and Qin Yu, the master of Misty City, they are also ascendants from the lower realm. They were not born in the God Realm, yet they still roam freely and are invincible!
"Queen of the Blood Sea, you have the right to be arrogant, but don't forget the lesson of the Nine Nether God King from back then," Zhou Huo said sinisterly. "If you offend us, even if you break through to the third stage, you will still face calamity!"
Xue Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, really? So the eight royal families are truly a united front?"
"Zhou Huo, you're not even as good as Zhou Wulian. What qualifications do you have to be the 'Northwest Holy Emperor'?"
"How shameless!"
She directly mocked him, making Zhou Huo's face turn as black as charcoal.
Of the four great god-kings of Thunder Punishment City, Zhou Ran and Zhou Tong were not considered particularly powerful, but Zhou Wulian's cultivation was indeed superior to Zhou Huo's. He only managed to surpass his second brother by virtue of the Thunder Source Spirit Pearl.
This was also a thorn in Zhou Huo's side! Because he knew very well that his father, Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, valued his third brother, Zhou Wulian, the most, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to interfere personally.
He sometimes worried that his father might change his mind and hand over the Northwest Holy Emperor to Zhou Wulian...
Zhou Huo had no choice but to obey.
Even without the Thunder Source Spirit Pearl, whose "time acceleration" is hundreds of thousands of times, he is still a master of the King Realm.
But it cannot be compared to its current status.
Having been the Holy Emperor for 120 trillion years, how could Zhou Huo be content?
"well."
Among the royal family members, Zhou Wulian, one of the leaders, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
What throne, what prestige, when has he ever cared about them?
The only person she cared about was also killed by her father.
His son, Zhou Ran, had also become a God-King, and was now in the first stage, so he no longer needed to worry.
The reason why people continue to live even when they feel they have no will to live is mainly because they hold onto some kind of hope!
If one has fully mastered the laws of time and comprehended "time standing still" and "time reversal," would one be able to go back to the past?
The royal family's rulers were more or less aware of the situation in Thunder Punishment City.
But how can I interrupt such a matter?
Even Zhou Tong, the second son of Zhou An, became deaf and mute.
He dared not offend his eldest brother Zhou Huo, nor did he want to offend his third brother Zhou Wulian.
The other Holy Emperors could speak up, but they were too lazy to get involved in the affairs of Thunder Punishment City.
With the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable watching over things, what's there to be afraid of?
Don't let yourself get into trouble in the end!
Only the powerful god-kings from other factions could mock him without fear or worry. After all, there was a carefree celestial being who could keep the thunder-punishing celestial being in check.
Figures like the Asura God King, the Blood Demon Queen, and the Blood Sea Queen—if they so desired, Zhou Huo would be utterly powerless against their mockery. —In terms of cultivation alone, they all surpass Zhou Huo!
However, most of the time, even a king would care about his reputation and would not want to break off relations.
But in the current situation, when vying for the Heavenly Venerable Treasure, who would consider offending the Northwest Holy Emperor?
If it really succeeds, even if the Thunder God himself comes, we won't have to be afraid!
"Besides Thunder Punishment City, I remember that the Wood Palace God King of Arctic Snowdrift City is also superior to Jiang Fan in terms of the laws of time, right?" The Blood Demon Queen smiled.
If the royal family were to have internal strife, I would absolutely welcome it! It would be an excellent opportunity!
Jiang Fan had just been comforting Zhou Huo, but now his face turned cold, and his gaze toward the Blood Demon Queen was filled with killing intent.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The Blood Demon Queen curled her lip and said, "After cultivating for so many years, you're still stuck at the acceleration level of hundreds of thousands of times, without any progress. I'm ashamed for you!"
"Blood Demon Queen, don't be arrogant. I have killed many ascended god-kings like yourself before."
Jiang Fan said in a cold voice.
However, these words enraged Jiang Lan, Zuo Qiulin, and Yi Feng!
Who else could be the ascended god-king Jiang Fan mentioned besides Zuo Qiumei?
Yi Feng and Zuo Qiulin have been hostile to the Holy Emperor ever since!
Jiang Lan was conflicted due to blood ties, but she also distanced herself from her elder brother Jiang Fan and became indifferent.
As for the throne of the Holy Emperor, just like Zhou Wulian, he didn't care about it.
However, the person Zhou Wulian cared about died at the hands of Lei Fa Tian Zun, who was his father, and even he could not resist.
Jiang Lan, on the other hand, is different. If he truly unleashes his power, he can fight Jiang Fan to a standstill!
However, his long-standing brotherhood, along with the presence of other relatives, made him hesitant.
So he simply sheltered Jiang Li, dragged out the marriage contest, and later even took Jiang Li down to the mortal realm to find the whereabouts of the second Meteor Tear, which is how he discovered Qin Yu.
But that doesn't mean Jiang Lan can tolerate Jiang Fan's attitude!
"Boom!" The three kings of Misty City attacked in anger, but were destroyed by the primordial spiritual light.
The other six Holy Emperors were somewhat relieved that they didn't end up like Zhou Huo and Jiang Fan.
But this also brings a sense of unease, as it means that their royal family lacks any truly exceptional talents!
The Northeastern Holy Emperor's eyes flickered slightly as he thought of a brother, the former Green Leaf God King. However, he had long since vanished. The Northeastern Holy Emperor had searched several times without success, leading him to speculate whether he had gone to the lower realms.
Unbeknownst to the Holy Emperor of the Northeast, his elder brother had actually gone to the East Sea and become a reclusive divine king, with the Buddhist name "Wooden Fish"!
"Boom!!" The eight primordial spirit pearls vibrated, their brilliant light bursting forth in all directions!
The emperors may have their flaws, but they can also discern the true nature of the situation.
It's not time to turn against each other yet.
Before defeating powerful figures such as the Asura God King, the Blood Sea Queen, and Cao Ya, the eight Holy Emperors were still on the same side.
Regardless of whether they agree with Zhou Huo and Jiang Fan's statements, they are going to take action.
In any case, we have to defeat these god-kings before it's the royal family's turn to compete for the ownership of the spiritual treasure!
If we can seize this opportunity, we can eliminate several ascended god-kings and reclusive god-kings...
It is also a good thing for the ruling family of the innate royal family to be in power.
This will further solidify its position as the overlord of the divine realm!
In particular, the Asura God King, the Blood Demon Queen, the Misty God King, and the Universal Law God King are all major threats!
In terms of skill level, they're even more formidable!
"An unstable mindset is a major taboo in military strategy." Suddenly, Cao Ya smiled slightly.
"Buzz." His divine senses swept over him, and he had an idea to break the deadlock.
