Even though the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos is dead, and his valuable possessions have been taken away by the lords, any remnant of his remains is enough to drive the Cosmic Gods mad with envy!
Although the floating islands offer the most opportunities and are extremely rich in treasures, each world has its own unique rules, capable of nurturing indigenous groups and containing extraordinary treasures.
This is why indigenous peoples need to produce a world ruler!
They must master their own race's world; otherwise, outside of it, aside from everything else, without the nourishment of special rules, they simply cannot reproduce and continue their race!
As for the treasure... even though it hurts, as long as the world is safe, I can accept this loss.
The four world lords could all sense that this cultivator, who called himself "Wind and Fire" from the Realm Heart Continent, was incomparably powerful. If he wanted to, he could completely destroy the world. Even if they were at the mid-stage of the Emperor level, they would be instantly killed if they gathered the power of their clan! His current serious injuries were clear proof of this.
They were completely at a disadvantage, and could only pray that the "wind and fire" wouldn't wipe them out completely!
"Phew." Cao Ya collected several treasures and stopped attacking. With a flicker, he disappeared millions of miles away.
Considering that the four hidden worlds were all harmed by cultivators from the Realm Heart Continent, and thus harbored hostility and angrily attacked... it was indeed an unwarranted calamity, after all, it had nothing to do with him... but Cao Ya easily defeated them, beating them into a state of utter defeat, and his divine sense spread throughout several worlds, seizing considerable treasures. This action also gave the four worlds a profound lesson for their rash actions!
It's really not worth destroying the world.
Meanwhile, the world's rulers who remained in place were greatly relieved.
"Fortunately, Lord 'Wind and Fire' doesn't seem inclined to pursue this matter..."
They pondered that, given the power of "Wind and Fire," shattering the heavens and the earth would be a trivial matter.
In the Broken Tooth Mountains, the strong are respected, and the natives and the Death Fiends are locked in a fierce struggle. The lower-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms also wreak havoc in all directions... Furthermore, the three supreme beings of the Death Fiends would occasionally bestow "gifts" upon the native world, sending them all to their deaths!
Over the centuries, there have been countless groups that have suffered great calamities; I have heard of and seen far too many.
Not to mention, this time, they were the ones who took the initiative and struck first...
If they are truly ravaged by "wind and fire," it will be very difficult to find the two supreme leaders of the indigenous people to uphold justice!
Therefore, in the eyes of the four world lords, being able to spend money to avoid disaster and exchange a few treasures for the safety of their family group was undoubtedly a very worthwhile deal.
At the same time, they were shocked. When did such a terrifying existence appear on the Realm Heart Continent?!
"Although the Realm Heart Continent was created by a great master of the Primordial Chaos Realm and 'Yuan', it has never produced any powerful figures. It's a waste of so many resources!" The strangely shaped world lord muttered, his words filled with envy.
"The Beast King of the Realm, the Ancestor of the Midnight, and even the Xia Emperor and the Undying Underworld Emperor are only troublesome in their moves. They can only hold their own against us early and mid-stage Emperors. If a late-stage Emperor were to appear... hehe, they would only face certain death! There would be no need for those peak experts to descend!" The Lord of the World, draped in rosy light, shook his head.
“‘Wind and Fire’ Lord, at the very least, you are at the level of the Eight Great Emperors, the Thirteen Sovereigns, or the Eight Great Saints, right?” the Lord of the Eight-Winged World pondered.
"Definitely! The four of us, with our full power unleashed, and with the support of our clan's heroes and the world... even ordinary late-stage Emperor-level cultivators would change color and dare not confront us head-on. How could it be like Lord 'Wind and Fire'... who is invincible!" The World Lord, with his fiery red hair and volatile temper, who usually despised cultivators, couldn't help but show admiration and feel inferior when Lord "Wind and Fire" was mentioned.
"Hmm, with so many resources invested by 'Yuan' over countless years, it's no wonder that a hero like Lord 'Wind and Fire' has emerged." The world lord, bathed in radiant light, nodded.
"However, Lord 'Wind and Fire,' why do you want to search for low-level Chaos Origin life forms?" The Eight-Winged World Lord thought of Cao Ya's previous words and was quite puzzled.
The other three exchanged glances and shrugged. Who knows?
"Inform the Emperor about the news concerning Lord 'Wind and Fire'..." The bizarre world lord made the final decision.
No one objected. They were under the jurisdiction of a native emperor, and any great fortune they encountered required reporting it—unless they were confident they could completely conceal the information, keeping it to themselves would be tantamount to suicide! Of course, the emperor had no say in the spiritual objects within their own world, nor in the spoils of their explorations on the floating islands; they could dispose of them as they pleased. But other treasures… had to be prioritized for the emperor's selection! Naturally, if anything happened, they would have to seek the emperor's help; they wouldn't try to handle it all themselves!
Regardless of the actions of the world lords, Cao Ya continued to wander through the strange space, occasionally defeating the natives and the Deathly Clan who were hostile to him because of his identity as a cultivator.
That unparalleled power shocked all directions!
Gradually, many of the top experts in the Broken Tooth Mountains also learned that a powerful cultivator was traveling around the area.
In the eyes of the heroes, the so-called "wind and fire" must be the peak of the late stage of the Emperor level!
Or perhaps they are on the same level as the eight great emperors of the indigenous people and the thirteen emperors of the dead race!
In any case, they would never believe that the "Great God of Wind and Fire" could rival the Five Supreme Beings!
It should be known that the Supreme is the strongest in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range since ancient times. Even the most powerful experts who have left are at most Supremes!
They also didn't believe that the Realm Heart Continent could produce a supreme-level cultivator!
Even the emperors and sovereigns who heard the news believed that the "Great God of Wind and Fire" was able to perform such a monstrous feat, which was inseparable from his great fortune on the Realm Heart Continent!
Who knows, we might just obtain a unique treasure left behind by the "Yuan"!
"The previous number one in the Realm Heart Continent was the Undying Underworld Emperor and the Xia Emperor, both of whom were only at the initial Emperor level... No matter how strong the 'Great God of Wind and Fire' is, how much stronger can he really be than the number one in the previous two generations?"
"To reach the mid-stage of the Emperor level is already the limit! The source of my current combat power probably comes from some kind of opportunity!"
"Furthermore, even a system of rules and mysteries shouldn't be this overbearing!!!"
Some emperors and sovereigns, driven by greed, began to send their subordinates to keep an eye on Cao Ya's movements.
They all felt that this "Great God of Wind and Fire" must have a special secret. If they could obtain it, they might be able to break through the limit of the Emperor level and become the sixth supreme being of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range in this era!
As Cao Ya's whereabouts spread, news from the Realm Heart Continent was also brought to the Broken Tooth Mountains by some adventurers.
Naturally, this added to the "Great God of Wind and Fire" aura!
"A powerful cultivator?" Even the Supreme Beings knew about it, but simply smiled.
Is it really that easy to cross the gap between the late-stage and perfect Emperor level?
Even those with bloodline systems find it incredibly difficult, let alone systems based on the mysteries of rules!
"Let him be. No secrets will help us achieve our 'ultimate awakening'."
The Supreme Beings are too lazy to pay attention to this; they are single-mindedly pursuing the "ultimate awakening" of their bloodline system!
To say that one cannot become a higher-level primordial life form is utter nonsense; one is not qualified to traverse the infinite primordial space.
All grudges and disputes are not as exciting as the attainment of the Dao and the origin of chaos!
Otherwise, with the Five Supreme Beings running rampant in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, how could there be a stage for the Eight Great Saints, the Eight Great Emperors, and the Thirteen Sovereigns?
"If that still doesn't work, and we can't even get close to the 'ultimate awakening,' we'll have no choice but to follow the example of our predecessors, delve into the Serpent Fang Corridor, and leave the Cliff Mountains through the passage left by 'Yuan,' heading to some special world to seek our fortune!"
"But among the masters who have gone far away in the past, there are many supreme beings, yet none of them have successfully returned."
"If we fail, what if we die and our cultivation is extinguished..."
The five supreme beings had concerns. At least if they stayed in the Broken Tooth Mountains, they could live freely and fearlessly without anything if they had the ability!
They were also aware that they were inferior to the Emperor-level Perfection of the Rules and Mysteries System.
This kind of extraordinary genius doesn't exist in the Realm Heart Continent, but that doesn't mean other source worlds won't have them either.
Otherwise, how did powerful beings like "Yuan" come into existence?
"Forget it, let's wait and see. Anyway, lifespan is endless, so there's no rush." The Supreme Beings sighed.
On the other side, Cao Ya finally encountered a low-level Chaos Origin life form again, and immediately took action, knocking it unconscious and beginning to dissect and study it.
"In its mantis form, those blade-like wings are even more ferocious than the most powerful treasures."
Cao Ya exclaimed in admiration that even a low-level Chaos Origin life form could rival, or even surpass, a mere part of its own body organs without needing to collect secret treasures!
Cao Ya meticulously recorded the Dao traces of the mantis beast. Its unique laws could sever laws and pierce the world. The sharpness of its blade wings surpassed that of the cosmic god at the "ultimate realm" of swordsmanship!
Cao Ya also used the mantis beast to break through to the second level of his swordsmanship.
"Haha, another rule has been met." Cao Ya was overjoyed.
Among the many laws and rules, his requirements are actually not high; he doesn't insist on the "ultimate" level. He is quite satisfied with the second level.
Clearly, he has taken another step forward on the long journey to enlightenment.
"Here, this secret technique is my compensation to you." Cao Ya awakened the mantis beast, and a stream of light descended, containing the sword technique he created based on the beast's natural Dao patterns.
The mantis beast was initially terrified, but suddenly gained access to the secret technique. It was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!
"With this cultivator's technique, I can amplify my power. That lion will never be able to challenge me again!" The mantis beast was full of confidence.
But it miscalculated. The lion, which had been its enemy and preying on it for millions of years, was also captured by Cao Ya, as it was a low-level primordial life form.
Naturally, Cao Ya not only gained something, but also compensated for the loss of the secret technique.
Thus, the mantis and the lion remained evenly matched, with neither gaining the upper hand.
"That 'Wind and Fire God' is so inconsiderate, why did he give you a gift?" The mantis beast was very annoyed.
The lion sneered, "What, so you're allowed to have the appropriate secret techniques?"
Before the words were even finished, the two low-level Chaos Origin life forms clashed for the umpteenth time. Blade light pierced the air, and the invisible power swept across the eight wastelands. The enormous commotion shook trillions of miles away!
The distant floating islands and the world of the native inhabitants trembled, and countless creatures shivered in fear.
"Hiss!!" The emperor of the Death Fiend Clan and the Lord of the World were both terrified. If they were to face those two low-level Chaos Origin Life Forms, they would definitely be no match for them!
Just then, a colossal beast came swimming by!
"Boom!" This strange beast was filled with a relatively dense primordial energy, and even a trace of it could crush space and time.
The main parts of the behemoth's body were hidden in the void, but what was visible was like a vast ocean with gently rippling water.
Its mouth alone is hundreds of millions of miles long; it is a truly gaping maw that, if opened, could swallow an entire world!
"It's it! Shi Yuanhuang!" The mantis beast and the lion stopped fighting and retreated to a distance, their eyes filled with fear, not daring to block the giant beast's path.
The surrounding indigenous people and the Dead Demons held their breath, filled with fear.
"Emperor Shiyuan! Also known as Great Sage Shiyuan, he is one of the eight strongest sages among the low-level chaotic life forms in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range!" The emperor of the Death Fiend Clan and the world master of the natives were also terrified.
If the mantis beast and the lion, as long as they don't fight alone, and rely on the power of the hidden world, the floating islands, and all the natives and the Deathbringer race, there is still a 20-30% chance that they can withstand and repel these two low-level Chaos Origin life forms and protect the safety of their race.
Even if it cannot be done, it can leave serious wounds, causing the beast to have obvious weaknesses when facing its nemesis, leading to its death.
Both of the great beasts, now wary, were able to protect their own kind.
However, despite their best efforts, they had no hope of injuring Emperor Shiyuan!
With the Five Supreme Beings absent, only the Eight Emperors and Thirteen Sovereigns can resist them.
The sheer power of the Great Sage Shiyuan, evidenced by the collapse of countless worlds and floating islands over the years, speaks volumes!
The problem is that their ethnic group's roots are here, and they simply can't move them!
All we can do is pray that Emperor Ishiabu has no appetite and is simply passing by.
"Huh?" Cao Ya, who was about to leave, was slightly surprised. His invisibility had actually been seen through by Shi Yuanhuang?!
“Alright, my invisibility technique, which I mastered by dissecting that lion, has only reached the first level. It’s really impossible to hide it from Shi Yuanhuang, who is at the peak of the late stage of the God Emperor realm.” Cao Ya thought to himself.
"Roar!!!" At this moment, Shi Yuanhuang roared, opened his blood-red maw with a diameter of over 100 million miles, and bit down in the direction of Cao Ya!
This scene surprised the mantis beast, the lion, the "Emperor" of the Deathbringer Clan, and the Lord of the World.
What is Emperor Shiyuan doing? That area is clearly deserted...
Then, they saw Cao Ya's figure appear, and they were all stunned!
"It's the 'Great God of Wind and Fire' from the Realm Heart Continent!" The four Emperor-level experts held their breath.
Could it be that today, we are fortunate enough to witness two outstanding individuals at the late stage of the Emperor level engaging in a fierce battle?
Such a scene would only occur once or twice every trillions of years, even in the Broken Tooth Mountains.
The Five Supreme Beings, the Eight Great Emperors, the Thirteen Sovereigns, and the Eight Great Sages—why would they start a war without a reason, without intense conflict?
"It's time to see for ourselves whether the 'Wind and Fire God' is truly capable enough to run rampant in our Broken Tooth Mountain Range!" The four strong men watched intently without blinking.
They had always thought that the "Great God of Wind and Fire" was only at the late stage of the Emperor level, at most the peak of this realm! Just like the Eight Great Sages.
What they didn't know was that if a cultivator of the Mysterious Rules System could truly reach the late stage of the Emperor level, their combat power would be no less than that of an ordinary Emperor level cultivator at the peak.
However, no such formidable figure has ever appeared in the Realm Heart Continent. The peak of the King level is ultimately not taken seriously, which is why the two regions are unaware of this secret.
