Cao Ya saw and heard both Qiang Tianfei's actions and the Ancestral God King's rebuke.
His eyes flickered, and he immediately understood Qiang Tianfei's purpose.
"Two divine blades originating from the Ancestral Court's God-Slaying Platform? Hmm, indeed troublesome." Cao Ya pondered. If the blood sacrifice were completed, the power of those two divine blades would greatly increase, and even a Heavenly Venerable might be killed!
Even those who have attained enlightenment and the Great Heavenly Court find it difficult to defend against!
It should be known that after completing the cultivation of the seven basic divine treasures in the Heavenly Palace, one will become a god. The cultivator's primordial spirit flies across the divine bridge and divine treasures to the outside of the South Heavenly Gate. From there, one becomes a god and begins to cultivate the Heavenly Palace, from the South Heavenly Gate and the Jade Pool, to the Execution Platform, the Jade Capital City, and the Lingxiao Palace, finally ascending the throne and becoming one's own Heavenly Emperor.
For the Great Heavenly Court, the goal is to cultivate different types of Heavenly Palaces and Treasure Halls, all reaching the Emperor Throne level, totaling thirty-six or seventy-two. Only in this way can one achieve the most perfect state of this Heavenly Palace Divine Realm system!
Simply possessing thirty-six heavenly palaces would only make it an ordinary Great Heavenly Court.
The cultivators of the myriad realms are modeled after the Heavenly Court, but in reality, the Ancestral Court, which was sealed and only recently reopened, is even more powerful, more complete, and almost flawless.
For example, after Qin Mu entered the ancestral court, he went to various places, saw many things, and gained some insights, thus creating realms such as the Nine Hells Platform, the Heavenly Sea, and the Jade Platform.
In fact, both the ancestral court and the heavenly courts of the various realms outside are deeply influenced by prehistoric enlightened beings.
The prehistoric enlightened beings, in order to come to this world, have been scheming and plotting. The Supreme Emperor, the Ancient God Emperor, the Heavenly Venerable Haotian, and others are all in their calculations.
The Lingxiao Palace behind Yujing City is clear evidence of this.
Because the original ancestral court system did not have the Lingxiao Palace. It was the young master of the Mi Luo Palace who intentionally guided this era, eventually forming the Lingxiao Palace as a great realm.
In reality, the Heavenly Palace and Divine Realm rely on the Heavenly Court or Ancestral Court that are built later.
The Dao Realm system is rooted in the universe.
The Execution Platform of the Ancestral Court is clearly more ferocious than that of the Execution Platform of the Heavenly Court.
The killing weapon from the Ancestral Court's God-Slaying Platform is also filled with murderous aura and is extremely fierce. It can already slay all kinds of gods. If it is further sacrificed and its level is upgraded, it may become the number one killing treasure in the universe!
"I follow the path of the sword, and although it belongs to the Dao Realm system, those two Blood Fiend Divine Swords... if I could obtain them, I could subdue them..." Cao Ya thought to himself, becoming interested in the two divine swords in Qiang Tianfei's hands.
Of course, it's not that big, after all, his swordsmanship has already reached the thirty-seventh level.
The other three Celestial Venerables did not look too good.
That beast, Consort Qiangtian, let them lead the charge while she herself took the opportunity to refine a murder weapon!
However, at this moment, the two sides' ultimate moves began to clash.
"Boom..."
The explosion was incredibly violent, divine power surged, the Great Dao wailed, and various aftershocks were released, shaking Xuandu!
Even a wisp of magical power can tear a massive rift, millions of miles wide, across the heavens!
This was a terrifying scene. Even the Heavenly Army, which held a complete advantage, couldn't help but gasp in fear.
They hurriedly avoided the Heavenly Venerable Battlefield, daring not to approach it even if their lives depended on it!
"Cao Ya, he actually blocked it?!" Gong Tianzun Tong Kong suddenly tensed up.
With the combined efforts of her, the Divine Emperor Langxuan, and Lady Yuanmu, plus the two divine artifacts of her and Lady Yuanmu, namely the Heavenly Venerable, it was almost five Heavenly Venerables attacking. Such a terrifying alliance, with its overwhelming heavenly might, could crush the ages. Without external force, they alone could directly flatten Xuandu and kill the Heavenly Duke!

But Cao Ya alone blocked their path head-on?
Not to mention the Celestial Venerable of the Palace, even Lady Yuanmu and Emperor Langxuan were greatly surprised.
"As expected, Cao Ya is the real threat to the Heavenly Court!" Emperor Langxuan's face darkened, and he said coldly.
"Emperor Langxuan, if you hold back, we'll lose face in all realms today," Madam Yuanmu chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
"Given a good opportunity, I will use the divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable," Emperor Langxuan sneered.
At this moment, Gong Tianzun thrust out his spear again, aiming straight at Cao Ya, but it was shattered by the blade's energy and could not advance an inch.
"stop!!!"
Cao Ya multitasked, wielding the knife in his left hand and slashing down fiercely, the blade's energy cleaving through the void!
At the same time, it mobilized various profound laws to fight against several Heavenly Venerables, and controlled the Kunpeng formed by the condensation of magic power, and enhanced it with various water-based profound laws, lightning-based profound laws, wind-based profound laws, etc. With a roar, it was invincible and actually clashed with a divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~"
As soon as Cao Ya made a thought, the deathly intent spread throughout the world. The divine finger of the Langxuan Divine Emperor was annihilated, and Lady Yuanmu's Return to the Void Secret Technique was also neutralized, failing to achieve its purpose.
That deathly aura truly seemed capable of ending the universe, silencing all life and leaving nothing behind.
It is somewhat similar to Guixu, but also completely different.
"What kind of avenue is that?" Madam Yuanmu frowned, looking very serious.
Faced with that deathly intent, her path to the void unexpectedly possessed a deathly impulse.
"Hiss~" Madam Yuanmu gasped in shock, filled with dread. With a hum, her divine sense spread out, covering a vast territory, sensing the death intent and trying to find its weakness.
Even more so, Madam Yuanmu had a thought: if she could understand the root of death and integrate it into the Dao of Returning to Nothingness, and thus be moved, she might be able to attain the Dao!
After the Dao Realm system was proposed by Emperor Kaihuang, which expert didn't want to cultivate both systems simultaneously and achieve mastery in both?!
"By then, I will also be an enlightened being, equivalent to the Great Heavenly Court. What Heavenly Lord, what Earth God, I can take them all down by myself! Even Cao Ya, I won't be afraid of him," Madam Yuanmu thought to herself, getting excited.
"A terrifying sword intent!" Gong Tianzun exclaimed heavily.
She once attacked the Supreme Emperor and the Ancient God Emperor. Those two beings each ruled an era, being the strongest of the Creators and the strongest of the Ancient Gods, respectively, each possessing extraordinary foundations, such as divine consciousness attaining enlightenment and the first physical body.
At this moment, Cao Ya's swordsmanship reminded her of the divine consciousness of the Supreme Emperor and the physical body of the Ancient God Emperor Taichu!
It can be called the strongest in history!
It can truly dominate an era!
Although You Tianzun's primordial spirit can be considered the strongest, it is not significantly superior to ancient gods such as Tian Gong and Tu Bo, and cannot dominate the world.
The first three each have an absolute advantage in their respective areas of expertise!
This is still compared to the Celestial Venerable!
That's absolutely terrifying!
"Even if you have achieved enlightenment in the way of the sword, so what? The Supreme Emperor has also achieved enlightenment in his divine consciousness, and I still take action!" Gong Tianzun roared, his hair flying wildly, fearless, his spear striking out like a dragon—truly a great dragon leaped out of the sky, its length unknown, its body majestic, capable of carrying heaven and earth!
The dragon roared, bared its fangs and claws, and unleashed its divine power as it swiftly attacked Cao Ya.
"Divine Yuan Finger!" Beside her, her son, the Divine Emperor Langxuan, roared again, seemingly refusing to believe in evil and determined to use the great divine power "Divine Yuan Finger" to injure Cao Ya.
"Whoosh!!" Madam Yuanmu also made her move, unleashing the Return to Nothingness Secret Technique, shattering everything in its path.
"Bang!!" Another divine artifact belonging to Gong Tianzun, Yu Tianzun, charged even more frantically, disregarding damage and fighting for its life!
Lady Yuanmu's divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, was entangled by the Kunpeng and could not break free for the time being. The battle between the two behemoths was so intense that it could move mountains and fill seas, pluck stars and seize the moon. In a short time, the vast world of Xuandu was in danger of collapsing!
Faced with such an attack, no matter how skilled Cao Ya was, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Of course, he would never risk injury for injury against the Heavenly Venerable's ultimate weapon.
The loss of the divine artifact, Yutianzun, did not affect Gongtianzun's true form. Instead, it created an opportunity for Cao Ya to risk his demise.
Palace Celestial Venerable, Lady Yuanmu, and Divine Emperor Langxuan—what kind of beings are they? Half of their bodies have squeezed into the five-star advanced level; one could even say they are just beginning to enter the five-star advanced level!
Even with Cao Yazong being one of the best among the five-star elites, he must remain serious and cautious in his actions, for a slight misstep could lead to his tragic demise.
"Clang!!!!"
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of light appeared, dense and numerous, as if covering the sky.
Beneath the sky filled with blades of light, a deathly aura swept across the land, and all sorts of profound mysteries boiled over, striking directly at the Heavenly Venerable!
"BOOM!!!!!"
A tremendous explosion shook Xuandu, and countless cracks appeared in the void, connecting the eight wastelands. Many gods and demons who witnessed this were dumbfounded, and then terrified, almost paralyzed with fear.
"Cough cough..." The fierce divine power struck, and the three Heavenly Venerables could not withstand it. They had to retreat millions of miles to dissipate the force, spitting blood and turning pale.
"So powerful... "
The three figures stared intently, their expressions showing apprehension and even a hint of fear.
Under Cao Ya's secret technique, they felt the threat of death for the first time in a long time!
"boom!"
Another divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, leaped out; the Divine Emperor Langxuan was also about to unleash his full power.
Cao Ya narrowed his eyes slightly; his condition was much better than that of the three Celestial Venerables.
The power of various cultivation paths converges, and there are numerous divine techniques. His physical body, including his defense, is top-notch, and his recovery ability is also first-rate.
However, Cao Ya did not dare to underestimate the three... well, now that there are three more divine artifacts, the Heavenly Venerable, there are almost six.
"These Celestial Venerables all have trump cards; we can't be careless," Cao Ya thought to himself. Even though he had the upper hand for the time being, he was still on high alert.
"Qiang Tianfei, what the hell are you doing?" Emperor Langxuan suddenly roared, his voice filled with anger.
“If you don’t come over, we’ll retreat! At that time, the three of us will bear at most 30% of the blame for the failure of the entire battle, and the remaining 70% will be your fault, Consort Qiangtian!” Gong Tianzun also said coldly.
Madam Yuanmu also spoke up, her tone equally unfriendly.
"Don't panic, I'm coming!" Consort Qiang chuckled awkwardly, still unwilling to relinquish her power in the Heavenly Court.
As a ruler from ancient times, she deeply loved the taste of power.
Currently, although she is not the sole leader and cannot be as high and mighty as she was in ancient times, with even the three great god-kings having to submit to her, in any case, after the physical body of the ancient god-emperor disappeared, the current Heavenly Court is ruled by eleven Heavenly Venerables, and she is one of them, as well as the highest leader. She holds great power, commands heroes, and overlooks all realms. That feeling is very wonderful, and Qiang Tianfei cannot give it up.
"Go!" With a flick of her finger, the divine artifact Yutianzun leaped out, its divine sense surging as it visualized countless magical weapons, which then blasted down upon the enemy.
At the same time, Qiang Tianfei had already set up the altar and was ready. Her true form stood on the altar, chanting incantations, like an ancient shaman performing a ritual.
On the altar, two blood-red malevolent energies intertwined and danced, like angry dragons trying to break free and slaughter Xuandu!
Its shape and Daoist aura are remarkably similar to the God-Slaying Mysterious Blade on the God-Slaying Platform in the Heavenly Court.
Upon seeing this, everyone realized the truth.
"The God-Slaying Platform of the Ancestral Court is being used by Consort Qiangtian to continuously absorb various evil energies from Xuandu, devouring energy and integrating it into the divine blade to help it reach its full potential!" The Ancestral God King's face was grim.
He had always considered Xuandu as his own possession, and Qiangtianfei's actions were undoubtedly an attempt to plunder his treasure. How could this not enrage the Ancestral God King?!
Although the current Ancestral God King did not kill the Heavenly Emperor or completely pacify Xuandu.
But he already viewed Xuandu in this way, treating it as his own territory.
"Qiang Tianfei, this battle is over, you must give me an explanation! This matter is not over without compensation!" the Ancestral God King said coldly.
Because Tian Gong was very strong, he quickly rejoined the battle, cooperating with the two divine artifacts Yu Tian Zun to entangle Tian Gong, waiting for Hong Tian Zun to deal with Xuan Du before killing Tian Gong!
"Haha, Ancestral God King, we'll see!" Qiang Tianfei laughed. Now that she had truly forged two divine blades, what did she have to fear from the Ancestral God King or Hong Tianzun?!
Even if Xiaotianzun or Haotianzun wanted to attack her, they would have to think twice before they could withstand the slash from that divine blade!
"Moreover, my true form, the Supreme Emperor who resides in the ultimate void, also needs this blade," Qiang Tianfei thought to herself.
She did not leave the ancestral court's execution platform that she had set up. After completing her ritual, she drew upon the life essence and fragments of the souls of countless gods who had died in the Xuandu War. The two divine blades devoured them and became active, their killing aura soaring to the heavens. Even a group of celestial venerables, separated by millions of miles, felt a sharp pain in their skin, as if they were being cut open.
They immediately became awe-inspiring.
"If the blood sacrifice to Consort Qiang is completed, and we have two powerful weapons, who can defeat her? Especially since Consort Qiang is merely a fragment of the Supreme Emperor's soul! With the Supreme Emperor obtaining the divine blade, he will be in even greater danger!"
The celestial beings exchanged glances, their understanding unwavering. Though still locked in fierce combat, they began to shift their focus, moving closer to the altar.
Cao Ya did not resist directly; on this point, he and the three Celestial Venerables shared a tacit understanding.
If Consort Qiangtian's blood sacrifice is successful, and the divine blade flies out, he might not be able to stop it!
Cao Ya was happy to see the sacrificial ceremony disrupted.
"A bunch of heartless bastards..." Consort Qiang cursed inwardly upon seeing this.
At this point, the best course of action would be for her to take the initiative and lure the battlefield away.
But Consort Qiangtian was reluctant to give it up. The Xuandu War was a clash between a powerful army of the various heavens and the Heavenly Court. All the Heavenly Venerables participated, and countless people died. This was the best opportunity to sacrifice the Divine Blade. If she missed it, Consort Qiangtian would regret it for the rest of her life!
Moreover, without her overseeing it, the divine blade is ferocious; what if it were taken away by someone else...?
Just as Consort Qiangtian hesitated, Cao Ya and the three Heavenly Venerables arrived, their divine power sweeping across the area. They simultaneously attacked the ancestral court's execution platform, blasting the altar away and disrupting Consort Qiangtian's ritual.
"Whoosh~~" Without the aid of the God-Slaying Platform, the two divine blades absorbed blood energy at a speed that was many times slower.
As a result, the divine blade stirred, unleashing its energy that pierced through the void. Consort Qiang's eyes twitched, and she was nearly injured.
"Forget it, I'll just use these two divine blades against the enemy. Drinking the blood of the Heavenly Venerable is far more effective than the blood of ordinary gods and demons," Qiang Tianfei thought to herself. With a flick of her sleeve, she put away the God-Slaying Platform, and then, with a surge of divine sense, she controlled the two deadly blades and launched a fierce attack on Cao Ya.
"Bang!!"
Meanwhile, the two divine artifacts, Yutianzun, belonging to Consort Qiangtian and Lady Yuanmu, joined forces to destroy the Kunpeng phantom and converged upon it.
Immediately, the four Heavenly Venerables, the four Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerables, and a total of eight super strong individuals began to besiege Cao Ya!
