"Boundary-Severing Finger!" One of the Five Heroes of Chaos unleashed a powerful divine ability.
That primordial divine light, powerful enough to sever the world and destroy planes, was incomparably sharp and pierced through everything!
Cao Ya was dignified and didn't even use his physical strength to directly withstand this divine power.
"Boom!" His body was covered with a radiant glow woven from various mysteries, shimmering with nine colors, yet possessing an aura of immortality, which also blocked the [Intercepting Finger].
"Try my secret technique again!" another person shouted coldly. It wasn't surprising that Cao Yan was able to catch the [Intercepting Finger], as his previous performance had already proven his strength.
However, he also did not believe that Cao Ya would have much strength left to deal with the Five Heroes of Chaos after facing the Forty-One Emperors!
"Bang!" The man's divine fist smashed down with a force that seemed to split the heavens and earth!
Besides, the remaining three peak emperors also went all out, aiming to kill Cao Ya Bone Emperor from the very beginning, without the slightest slack!
The various divine beams of light triggered immense fluctuations in the Dao, which indeed severely injured Cao Ya!
"Sizzle." Cao Ya's skeletal body, despite its numerous extraordinary systems, was unable to protect itself and instantly suffered severe injuries, with its bones shattering and almost collapsing!
However, Cao Ya used his own "Bone Fire Mystic Scripture" along with the flame paths of the great universes such as "Eternal Life," "Sacred Ruins," and "Snow Eagle Lord" to unleash the "True Phoenix Treasure Technique" through the complex mysteries of fire attributes. The result was exquisite, allowing his wounds to heal instantly!
"Haha, the Five Heroes of Chaos, is this all the magic you have?"
"It seems your time has come to an end!"
Cao Ya laughed heartily, displaying a heroic and unrestrained demeanor that was truly captivating.
But in reality, Cao Ya was very cautious and had already used all his backup plans.
What he needs to do now is to use all his strength and do everything in his power to forcefully hold back the Forty-One Emperors and the Five Heroes of Chaos with numerous profound and mysterious divine skills!
There's no way around it, the opponents are too numerous and too strong!
Among the nine innate emperors, one is at the peak; among the twenty-seven acquired emperors, there are three more!
Let's not even talk about the Five Heroes of Chaos, they were all peak emperors!
Adding these together, they represent a high level of expertise among the eight peak six-star individuals.
In the [Eternal Life] universe, it would need to be at least seventeen or eighteen epochs of level!
In addition, we must also count the other thirty-eight powerful emperors...
If someone were to face such a lineup, unless a seven-star powerhouse were to descend, anyone below the six-star level, even the most elite among them, would be doomed!
Cao Ya's ability to withstand the attack is already remarkable. His Taoist techniques are numerous and profound, his supernatural powers are mysterious, and his physical body, mind, and soul are all flawless. He also possesses divine healing arts. Only with these qualities can Cao Ya sustain himself! If he were to lose any one of these, Cao Ya would collapse and might even die suddenly!
After all, every single person who can reach the peak of the six-star level is a formidable character!
Of course, for this reason, the forty-six emperors were also shocked that Cao Ya was able to persist!
"The strongest Emperor-level being in history!" A post-Heavenly Emperor wielding a sword couldn't help but exclaim.
Even in terms of swordsmanship, he doubted whether he could compare to Cao Ya!
That kind of sword intent that points straight to the soul, can be born from all directions, and has the terrifying power to cut down all things, even he, who is the master of the sword, felt a sense of awe and wonder!
"If it's a one-on-one fight, or if the number of Emperor-level enemies attacking you is less than thirty, I'm afraid you'll turn the tables and kill them all!"
“But we are forty-six emperors! Therefore, Cao Ya, you cannot win!”
The emperor wielding the sword unleashed another strike, this time imbued with boundless sword energy, forming a complex array of nested sword formations. These formations served multiple purposes, including attack, defense, encirclement, and illusion. This was one of his signature moves, which he had used to slay a formidable enemy at the pinnacle of the King Realm, achieving spiritual perfection and attaining the Emperor's Path!
He believed that even the Bone Emperor Cao Ya could not ignore his ultimate technique!
As expected, Cao Ya noticed it and solemnly unleashed all his skills, including "Slaying the Dao to See Me," "The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe," and the "Grass Character Sword Technique," before they were able to cancel each other out.
A worthy opponent, a worthy adversary; Cao Ya's swordsmanship impressed even the most skilled swordsman.
He vaguely saw a glimmer of hope beyond the Emperor level!
Immediately, the Sword Emperor's eyes lit up, and he became even more excited.
Even the major changes in the rules of Heaven, which allowed emperors to enter the myriad worlds and gave rise to control over the primordial source land, did not cause him such emotional fluctuations!
"Swoosh." The sword-wielding emperor relentlessly pressed forward with his ultimate moves, trying to grasp Cao Ya's sword intent.
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. His research on swordsmanship was not deep, but his own knowledge in universes such as [Covering the Sky], [Perfect World], [Peerless One], and [Immortal Gourd] was unfathomable. Taken together, his swordsmanship alone was at the peak of the six-star level!
Unfortunately, this was still insufficient to defeat the Emperor-level beings of the [Eternal Life Realm] universe.
Unless, of course, he has some other magical power that he can share with others.
But with so many Emperor-level attackers already exerting their utmost efforts, where would they find any extra?!
Naturally, they were unable to forcibly surround and kill the sword-wielding emperor here.
On the contrary, his opponent's powerful attacks caused him a lot of trouble in some rounds!
As everyone knows, the art of swordsmanship excels at offense and killing!
Emperors who attain enlightenment through the sword take this characteristic to its extreme!
Only those eight peak emperors could truly overpower this person in terms of threat.
Of course, there are other emperors who are no less powerful than him in terms of attack.
The rest may be slightly weaker in attack—compared to other Emperor-level beings!—but in terms of defense, or in terms of trapping and surrounding, they possess formidable divine laws and spells.
For example, the octopus, one of the Nine Primordial Emperors, has a special physique. It was able to withstand many of Cao Ya's attacks without getting hurt!
There was also a strangely shaped Holy Emperor whose body was covered with eyeballs. Every time those ugly eyeballs opened at the same time, they had the great power to distort space and time and distort the world!
Fortunately, Cao Ya maintained her composure with a "smile while picking flowers," thus remaining unaffected. Otherwise, if she had been momentarily distracted, the emperors would have seized the opportunity to destroy her body and soul!
"Whoosh!" The emperor who wielded a sword had a cold look in his eyes, and his sword energy was bright. Every slash pierced through the Great Dao, and he was no less powerful than the emperor who wielded a sword!
There are also the graceful gun-wielding masters and the domineering hammer-wielding masters...
Below the eight peak emperors, a host of powerful figures were all at their peak, fighting against Cao Ya!
Countless supernatural powers, which once existed only in myths and legends, have now appeared in the mortal world.
In order to defend against them one by one, Cao Ya spared no effort, putting in a hundred different tasks and giving it her all!
Such a battle of offense and defense is the greatest in history, even in the entire [Eternal Life Realm] universe!
However, what gave Cao Ya the biggest headache was the eldest of the Nine Innate Emperors, the three strongest of the Twenty-Seven Acquired Emperors, and the Five Heroes of Chaos!
The eight top-level experts also caused Cao Ya the most trouble.
Almost 80-90% of his injuries were caused by these eight people.
Even with the "True Phoenix Treasure Technique," some of the injuries Cao Ya suffered could not heal for a while!
For example, the Five Heroes of Chaos possessed the "Boundary-Severing Finger," which was powerful enough to sever space and time!
This caused a flaw in Cao Ya's profound understanding of the laws, almost rendering him unable to use them!
The strength of the Five Heroes of Chaos, who were able to roam the world unscathed even in the ancient times and incur the enmity of many emperors, is beyond doubt!
"Swoosh!!" And that innate holy emperor, whose innate authority was exerted to a level beyond the limit, each beam of divine light could pierce through dozens of worlds in succession!
The three supreme peak acquired emperors were also adept at both offense and defense, making Cao Ya feel quite troubled.
All we can say is that thanks to the Void Realm and the Niwan Palace World, the combined power of the Emperors was restrained by 30%!
With the addition of healing secrets, Cao Ya racked his brains to hold off the forty-six emperors!
He had great faith in the ancestors of the Nine Provinces, believing that even if they were outnumbered, they could definitely defeat the Thirty-Six Emperors of the Later Heaven and come to their aid!
"Activate all the sacred artifacts!" Nuwa solemnly declared.
Cao Ya alone blocked all the most formidable enemies. Even if the Thirty-Six Emperors of the Later Heaven were stronger, they could not entangle him.
We must act swiftly and decisively to eliminate the emperors as quickly as possible, thereby ending this war and minimizing casualties among our soldiers!
"Hmm." The Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors, and Pangu all had no objections and expressed their agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Nuwa, using her previous incarnation as a vessel, joined forces with nine fellow Daoists to fight against the Thirty-Six Emperors.
Her lingering remnants and soul retreated billions of miles, her expression solemn, as she summoned the sacred object.
"Whoosh~~~" First, the nine ancient lamps appeared, only to be shattered by Nuwa's finger.
"Rumble..." In the horrified eyes of the thirty-six emperors, boundless imperial power burst forth from the nine lamps and fell into the control of Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, which boosted their strength and made them rise again, completely reaching the strongest state of the Primordial Era!
In fact, the Nine Ancient Lamps, one of the sacred objects of the heavens, are the tombs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Nuwa!
They buried their former divine power!
This is why the Nine-Point Stone Man, born from the Nine Lamps, is so special.
After the Nine-Part Stone Man and the later Heavenly Emperor Body were cultivated, the two bodies merged and he leaped to the Great Perfection of the King Realm. He could fight against ordinary Emperor-level beings without any problem!
"Bang! Bang!" The nine-sided celestial stele fell down, its supreme profound engravings also flowing with the mysteries of the imperial way.
The Chaotic Palace, Yellow Mud Platform, Ancestral Dragon Platform, Stone Key, and Bridge to Heaven were all shattered, unleashing an indescribable supreme power!
Originally, the Ten Ancestors planned to use the sacred artifacts of the heavens to seal the One True Realm and trap all the emperors to death, preventing them from ever stepping out of the One True Realm and interfering with the myriad worlds!
But when circumstances change, they don't stick to the old ways; when it's time to make a sacrifice, they don't hesitate and are very decisive.
Even the most precious treasure of the other world, the ninety-nine stone steps made by the five great patriarchs of the other world, was summoned by Nuwa and forcibly set ablaze!
These sacred artifacts from the heavens, even those of imperial rank, are extremely difficult to forge!
However, groups of emperors and sovereigns must have produced some, more or less.
However, most of them choose to use it themselves and do not pass it on to the heavens or to their disciples and descendants.
Just like the weapons in the hands of emperors, how could they be fragile? If it were a stone weapon of the King Realm, it would shatter upon contact and be no match for it!
Among them, the most powerful ones are those that have been painstakingly crafted by perfect emperors or sovereigns, or those that have been inscribed with divine laws by multiple emperors. Therefore, it is only natural that they would become sacred objects of the heavens.
Of course, they certainly wouldn't be willing to use it like Nuwa did.
In fact, not only other sacred objects, but also the Three Sovereigns Mirror, the Five Emperors Pagoda, the Pangu Stone Axe, and the Ten Primordial Ancestors would not feel sorry for them!
As long as we can end the battle as soon as possible, we can prevent hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of cultivators from dying!
Naturally, despite having a three-fold numerical advantage, the thirty-six emperors were at a disadvantage in the fight against the ten progenitors.
"Cough cough." Even the amiable emperor staggered back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The Emperor of Compassion and others were also injured; even the immortal bodies of the emperors, which had endured countless tribulations, showed signs of injury!
"Ah!! Pangu, die!" The Golden Emperor was like a madman, with an evil intent that was extremely powerful, which was fueling his fist intent and could completely infect heaven and earth and corrupt the universe.
Pangu held an ancient stone axe, his eyes cold and sharp. With a single swing of the axe, he not only pierced the chest of the opponent but also instantly cleaved the Golden Emperor in two!
What an astonishing sight!
Pangu swung his stone axe down, and the Golden Emperor, a perfected emperor-level being, was shattered by a single blow!
The other thirty-six emperors, along with the five great emperors, the five heroes of the chaotic ancient times, the nine innate emperors, the five great holy ancestors of the other world, and the twenty-seven acquired emperors, were all terrified!
"Bang." However, with the help of the Compassionate Emperor and the Harmonious Emperor, the Golden Light Emperor was not killed directly by Pangu. Under a surge of brilliant golden light, he barely managed to reassemble his form.
But the axe marks that penetrated deep into the bone marrow could not be erased!
The Golden Emperor's gaze toward King Pangu was not filled with fear, but rather with rage!
This is a disgrace! Even in the ancient times, when emperors fought each other, he never suffered such a serious injury!
If this is Pangu's full power, it is acceptable. After all, with the blessing of the second stone soldier, Pangu, who is already at the perfect level, can exert power that is invincible among his peers!
The problem is that Pangu's true body has passed away, and this is a reincarnation of his lingering remnants, at most merging with a portion of the soul that was summoned back!
Moreover, the second stone soldier had been suppressed by the rules of Heaven over a long period of time, resulting in damage.
Most importantly... he joined forces with more than thirty allies to besiege the ten progenitors of the Nine Provinces!
As a result, Pangu cleaved it all in one blow with his axe...
"Pangu, today, it's either you or me who dies!" the Golden Emperor roared.
He pushed his own Dao to its limit, and the golden light became less dazzling, extremely restrained.
But that dark golden physique possessed an aura of immortality and indestructibility.
Pangu's eyes flickered slightly. This perfected emperor was a formidable opponent! Even at his peak, he wasn't entirely confident he could defeat him!
"Whoosh..." Suddenly, Nuwa made a hand seal, showering down boundless radiance of creation.
"Boom!!" The afterglow of the Three Sovereigns Mirror, the Five Emperors Pagoda, and many other sacred artifacts, under the operation of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, blocked all thirty-five emperors!
"Whoosh." In an instant, Nuwa pointed her finger, and that divine creation technique, vast and boundless, could both give birth to new life and represent great destruction!
The great divine power of the Golden Emperor actually showed signs of dimming under the light of creation.
Immediately, the Golden Emperor's expression changed drastically!
But Pangu, a veteran of countless battles, would never let such a golden opportunity slip by!
"Boom!" The Pangu Stone Axe, the second-best stone weapon in the world, displayed its supreme sharpness and once again cleaved the Golden Emperor!
This time, the thirty-five emperors were obstructed, sacred artifacts blocked their path, and the three sovereigns and five emperors of the Nine Provinces were also entangled, having to disperse their energy to resist the dragging of Cao Ya's Void Realm...
Without any help, and besieged by Pangu and Nuwa, the Golden Emperor was instantly driven to the brink of despair!
