Cao Ya smiled at Auf's surprise. Linley's combat power was indeed not as good as that of the Ruler, after all, he lacked two fire and wind godheads and was also lacking the profound fusion.
But as for the Law Rulers... even the Light Ruler who possesses the Supreme Artifact, and the Lightning Ruler who has a lower-level Earth God avatar, Linley is no less formidable than them!
“You seem to have complete confidence in Linley.” Ouf pondered, was there some message he hadn’t noticed?
Suddenly, he remembered the Supreme God's mission that had caused such a stir some time ago. Could it be...?
"boom!
"At that very moment, millions of miles away, Linley and Augusta had already clashed."
The two divine swords clashed, and the aura of destiny and life surged through the sky, sweeping across the vast territory with tremendous force, leaving all the main gods dumbfounded.
"A supreme artifact of life???" The gods' eyes widened, and they instantly understood Linley's confidence.
"So, for the mission issued by the Supreme God of Life last time, Linley had secretly collected the other two tokens. No wonder he was unwilling to hand over the Crimson Diamond, and Beirut, Qinghuo, and Cao Ya had to personally go to meet him!"
The Lord of Destruction awoke to his senses and marveled at how well the four members of the Magnolia faction had concealed their abilities!
“Augusta also possesses a supreme artifact, yet it was blocked by Linley… Besides that supreme life-giving sword, Linley must have other trump cards!” The Wind Sovereign pondered, but upon witnessing Linley wielding the divine sword, unleashing his divine power, and employing one ultimate move after another in his battle against Augusta, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
He can no longer defeat Linley. Even though Linley has many trump cards and the supreme artifact he desires most... so what? He can only watch helplessly!
The Thunder Ruler and the Wind Ruler exchanged a glance, both giving a bitter smile before looking up at the sky and sighing.
Apart from the Light Lord, who was extremely lucky and obtained the supreme artifact, the other six Law Lords were all in a depressing situation. The six main gods who should have been in charge of a system of laws had fallen to the point where they had to rely on the Law Lord for protection.
That would be fine, but the Supreme God only manifested four major rules, and the seven elements of law remained unchanged.
The problem is that Cao Ya and Lin Lei, these two rising stars, have actually surpassed the six Law Masters... Especially Cao Ya, who directly defeated the Light Master and became the fifth person below the Law Masters in the true sense! Without relying on any external force!
"So be it, so be it." The two rulers sighed, and like the other four law rulers, they extinguished their resentment.
In fact, being able to refine a superior god's essence is already an immense stroke of luck.
"Boom..."
Amidst the spatial turbulence, Linley battles Augusta, wielding his green sword amidst surging life force.
"Ugh~~~"
Suddenly, Lin Lei activated his innate divine power, and a phantom of a blue dragon appeared, stretching across the heavens and earth. It was enormous, with eyes comparable to divine mountains, staring at Augusta. It opened its mouth and let out a majestic dragon roar. A great power involving time emerged, enveloping Augusta and making time around her seem to stand still, as if she were an animal trapped in amber.
"Even the innate divine power of a true Azure Dragon divine beast cannot harm me, let alone a junior like you!"
Augusta roared, unleashing some kind of soul defense technique that blocked the "Dragon's Roar." He then raised his lightsaber and slashed at Lin Lei, drawing a mysterious trajectory. It seemed to lack power, appearing effortless and without any force. However, when it landed, it was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth and shatter the plane!
"Bang!"
"!" The two fought fiercely, their lightsabers and green swords clashing repeatedly. The aura of destiny flowed, and the life force spread, shaking all the main gods, who all watched with astonishment.
Linley's strength was clearly at the Dominator level, completely on par with Augusta, and he could fiercely clash with him without being at a disadvantage!
"The Magnolia faction now has two rulers..." the gods exclaimed in amazement.
The Magnolia Plane is undoubtedly the most powerful material plane in history!
"That kid Linley has actually become so powerful." The Death Sovereign was astonished. She was genuinely surprised. Thousands of years ago, when she first met Linley, he was merely at the Asura level. In such a short time, he had already rivaled a Sovereign...
The Lord of Life and the Lord of Destruction are filled with emotion. What secrets does the Magnolia Plane hold that have given birth to so many powerful figures?
Beirut and Qinghu chuckled; they were the only ones who knew the details about Cao Ya and Lin Lei.
"Augusta is currently being held off by Linley. Now it depends on whether Cao Ya can hold out against Auf! We don't need to win; just holding on is a victory!" The two scanned the battlefield with their divine senses.
Auf clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "I underestimated you. You've even brought out the supreme artifact."
Cao Ya replied, "But I've never underestimated you!"
Auf chuckled. He was the "First God." Not to mention the rising star Cao Ya, even among the other three Rulers, who would dare to underestimate him?
"I hope you can surprise me like Linley did," Auf said softly, his white robes and white hair standing in the void, gazing at Cao Ya in the distance.
Cao Ya's eyes were deep. That supreme artifact for material attack was still in Augusta's hands. At this moment, Of only had two supreme artifacts for defense...
Cao Ya smiled bitterly to himself. The supreme artifacts for material and soul defense are six-star. Without power of the same level or a six-star offensive weapon, one can forget about truly hurting Aofu!
"Fortunately, I'm not completely without trump cards! And without the Supreme Sword of Destiny, Auf's lethality has decreased by one or two levels, and he can hardly threaten my life."
Cao Ya pondered for a moment, and then his body swayed, revealing four more divine clones that appeared in various parts of the void. The five bodies worked together, each casting spells, and began to attack Auf.
"Impressive! Cao Ya, in terms of comprehension, you are undoubtedly the best in history!" Auf praised, as he could discern that the five divine avatars all possessed the combat power of a ruler-level being.
Boom!
"Cao Ya's five bodies shimmered with radiant light, dazzlingly bright, each radiating different divine powers and employing strange spells, sweeping across billions of miles with tremendous force. This caused Ao Fu's eyes to narrow slightly, his initial indifference finally disappearing, and he became serious."
"Swoosh..." Under Cao Ya's divine power, his sword intent was sharp, his blade was bright, lightning raged, the earth trembled, the void was shaken, wind and fire roared, and water rippled. A terrifying mystery permeated the air, as if it could create the world and end the universe!
Such a commotion not only changed the expression of Auf, but also shocked all the main gods!
"Is this the full power of the Five Elements Great Perfection unleashed? It feels like it has reached the level of a Ruler..." The gods held their breath.
Even the Lord of Destruction, the Lord of Death, and the Lord of Life were not surprised.
Unlike Augusta and Linley, they sensed a threat from Cao Ya!
"Cao Ya's weapons, those swords, should be main artifacts forged from divine materials by Beirut. But that seal and halberd... are very special! Although they are formed from divine power, their power is quite strange. They are not ordinary objects and have some hidden secrets," the Lord of Life whispered.
"Perhaps it's guidance from the Supreme God?" the Lord of Destruction speculated. It's not entirely impossible that someone at the Great Perfection of multiple systems could have had some extraordinary encounter that would have earned the favor of the Supreme God and led to his instruction.
The Lord of Death said, "Just wait and see. We're all in the same class, and there will be one more person among us in the future!"
The Lord of Destruction whispered, "However, that alone is not enough to threaten Of."
He had challenged Auf to a duel many times, but had been defeated each time. Because of this, he knew very well how terrifying Auf was!
The three rulers, who were observing the battle intently, also had a portion of their divine sense focused on another battlefield.
Beirut and Qinghuo were pleasantly surprised; Cao Ya's performance had once again exceeded their expectations!
"Truly powerful!" Zijing God sighed inwardly. Back then, he favored Cao Ya and took him as his messenger, thinking that he had a chance to reach the Great Perfection. He never expected that Cao Ya would be so terrifying today!
On the other side, Augusta was shocked and furious. The scene of his previous defeat at the hands of Cao Ya was still vivid in his mind, which made him resentful. He secretly contacted Auf and asked him to go all out to forcefully kill Cao Ya!
At the same time, Augusta roared and his lightsaber fell, launching a frenzied attack on Linley.
He never expected that two rulers would emerge in the Magnolia Plane in such a short period of time...
Linley chuckled, parrying with his green sword. Life force flowed through him, and a phantom of a blue dragon appeared. He unleashed his innate divine power, "Dragon's Roar," to help him contend with Augusta. His various self-created moves, enhanced by the power of the main god, combined with the power of his will, became incomparably powerful. In a head-on confrontation, he forcefully blocked the attack of the Lord of Light!
"Boom..." The clash between the two masters spread across billions of miles, causing fear among the main gods.
The sharpness of that supreme artifact, even a wisp of it, was enough to threaten their lives!
The second battlefield was so terrifying that even the supreme god fled billions of miles away, daring not to approach.
The old man in the white robe, "Auf," smiled and ignored Augusta's urging in his mind. He observed Cao Ya's divine power with great interest and analyzed it in secret.
"Have you ever met the Supreme God?" Auf asked with a smile. The unique artistic conception of the seal and halberd could not be understood by Cao Ya without the guidance of the Supreme God.
Because of Auf's keen observation, those two things seemed to point directly to the Supreme God Realm!
“Of course! Although the Supreme God is not considered a life form, its essence is powerful enough to sweep across the universe.” Cao Ya raised an eyebrow, but his answer misled Auf.
Only Beirut, Qinghuo, Linley, and Bebe, who stayed in the Yulan plane, knew what he was asking when he met the Supreme God of Life.
“I had a feeling we were meant to be. It’s such a pity we’ve come to this,” O’F said regretfully. “We could have worked together to explore the path to the Supreme God!”
Faced with the onslaught of divine power, Auf sighed softly, his expression unchanged. A strange golden light emanated from his hand, and he lightly slapped it forward. With a loud bang, he destroyed all the mysteries!
Cao Yatong, despite knowing the extent of Aofu's power, was still deeply shocked by his personal experience.
"What?" Beirut and Qinghu, who were watching the battle, widened their eyes in surprise.
"Ha, you're making a fuss over nothing. Lord Auf's strength is unparalleled in the universe. Without the Supreme God's intervention, who can rival him?" Bötter and Theresa glanced at him with disdain.
Even with the rule-makers present, they had to admit that the power of Orf had surpassed their own!
“Auf is a madman,” the Lord of Death said softly. “He is at the pinnacle of destiny and has won ten consecutive interplane wars. Compared to a normal high-level god, he has two more units of willpower and a supreme artifact of destiny with attributes that perfectly match his. His foundation is extremely good!”
"But that's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is... that Auf has no hobbies or interests, is indifferent, has no competitive spirit, no greed, and would never bully the weak. He doesn't love beauty or wealth, and he also dislikes power..."
"His strength has reached the pinnacle of the main gods, but he is completely unwilling to enjoy the pleasures that come with that pinnacle... His goal, from beginning to end, has remained consistent: to become stronger!"
"Over the years, he has studied the innate abilities of various mythical beasts and created all sorts of unique skills. This has greatly enhanced Auf's strength. Even if he himself does not have innate abilities, he has unique moves that involve the four major systems of material attack, material defense, soul attack, and soul defense!"
"Without a supreme artifact—which none of us possess—it would be extremely difficult for us to break through his defenses!"
"A divine beast can only have one innate supernatural ability, but Auf has countless ultimate moves!"
"The truly powerful ones among them may not necessarily be inferior to top-tier innate supernatural abilities!"
The Lord of Death sighed, impressed even herself with Auf's patience.
Therefore, even though the Lord of Death, the Lord of Life, and the Lord of Destruction have special bodies, possess the most outstanding innate divine abilities, and are mostly at the Great Perfection stage, with even greater willpower and control of supreme artifacts of corresponding attributes, they still cannot defeat Auf and must relinquish the title of "First God".
No one knows how many trump cards Auf has up his sleeve. Sometimes they even wonder if the three of them together could force him to go all out!
“Auf is indeed very strong!” The Lord of Life nodded. Her most prized skill, the soul technique, was most likely inferior to Auf’s, and in terms of material things, she was far inferior.
"In the past, I was indeed no match for Ofu, but... I've made progress in my research on the essence of the Four Divine Beasts' blood, and a new ultimate move is about to be created... When that time comes, I will challenge Ofu and give it a try..."
"The Lord of Destruction said, his eyes burning with eagerness," he seemed impatient.
Bang bang bang!
!
However, to their surprise, Cao Ya's five divine avatars, each wielding divine power and using mysterious techniques, bombarded and smashed Ao Fu, but contrary to their expectations, they did not immediately succumb upon contact.
"Hehe, not bad, worth using my weapon." Auf smiled with narrowed eyes. As everyone knows, his supreme artifact is a soul defense type. To fight Cao Ya head-on, he would definitely have to use his own main artifact.
Augusta's supreme artifact of destiny is something that Ofu will not use until the very last moment.
"Whoosh~~" Auf took out the sword-shaped main artifact, flicked his finger, and made a casual stroke, which contained a magical trajectory, as if the soul was being pulled and could not break free.
This move is not only a physical attack, but also a soul attack!
