In the final challenge, Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, Zhen Tianwang, and other heroes were astonished, surprised that Ba Tiandi had broken his own rules and was actually doing his best to increase his power.
"Isn't the Overlord Emperor always advocating... battles between equals? Who among those who have entered here is of the same level as the Overlord Emperor?"
The Heavenly King level powerhouses who entered this place, including Hongyu, Hongkun, Lizhu, Shipo, Zhushenshi, Yaodi, Luan, and Feng, were all quite surprised.
"Could it be another emperor? Because of... the projection of the seed? But no one has obtained it yet, is it worth fighting over? Isn't that too hasty!"
The powerful figures were confused and bewildered.
They were completely baffled by the Emperor Batian's inexplicable outburst.
However, they also knew that in this place, besides the Heavenly King and Saint-level cultivators who had entered, there were also projections of many of the most powerful beings who originally existed here—the Nine Primal Emperors and the Four Supreme Emperors.
If these emperors and great rulers were to clash and fight, according to everyone's understanding, in that situation, the Overlord Emperor, whose physical body was at its peak, would definitely go all out.
Most importantly, Zhu Qiang felt that this was not entirely impossible.
There were many conflicts among the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns, especially after the fall of the Heavenly Court, which intensified the conflict. After all, three emperors were dead, and the remaining people were all stationed in the Origin Land and were not free.
Who wouldn't want a scapegoat?
But this is just a projection, it can't be used as a scapegoat!
Therefore, they were still confused in the end, unable to figure out the root cause of the Overlord Emperor's outburst.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the King of Zhen Tian's eyes flashed.
Then, Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, Wang Jinyang, Li Hansong, Yao Chengjun and other powerful figures from the human race all sensed a familiar aura.
"It's Dao Ancestor Cao Ya?!"
They were immediately startled.
Cao Ya Daozu, is he really that powerful? He actually managed to make the Overlord Emperor go all out?!
Besides, didn't Cao Ya say he wouldn't enter this place? Why is he going back on his word?
"That 'Dao Ancestor' of the new martial arts, Cao Ya, has entered the Heavenly Tomb."
"Isn't the reincarnation of the Overlord Emperor a powerful human? Why are these two fighting?"
"Hey, this is going to be good. The human race is getting stronger and stronger. We need internal strife and infighting to weaken them."
"However, that 'Dao Ancestor' Cao Ya actually has the strength of a True Emperor?! That's truly unexpected!"
"That makes sense. How could someone who pioneered such a new martial art be anything less than excellent?"
The other factions, including Hong Yu, Hong Kun, Li Zhu, Shi Po, the God-Forging Envoy, the Demon Emperor, Luan, Feng, and other Heavenly King-level powerhouses, including Dao Shu, the pseudo-Emperor Po Jiu who was already in the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm, were all surprised and greatly shocked after learning about the opponent of the Overlord Emperor. They never expected that the unassuming Cao Ya would have the strength to make the Overlord Emperor go all out!
At the same time, they were gloating, hoping that Cao Ya and Ba Tiandi would fight to the death.
After all, the reincarnation of the Overlord Emperor, Li Hansong, was a powerful figure among the human race.
Wouldn't this cause internal strife among humans?
Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, and Zhen Tianwang also noticed this, and their expressions darkened slightly.
"Don't worry, this battle broke out in the Zhan space, and Zhan didn't intervene, which is enough to explain everything," Wang Jinyang said telepathically. He was the reincarnation of the Zhan Tiandi and had received a gift from the Zhan Tiandi's projection, causing his strength to skyrocket!
"I didn't sense any movement from the Emperor of Annihilation either," Yao Chengjun said, shaking his head.
He is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Annihilation. Logically speaking, if the Emperor of Overlord and Cao Ya Dao Ancestor really had a disagreement and started fighting to the death, then the three emperors who always went together, the Emperor of War and the Emperor of Annihilation, had no reason to stand idly by and watch the Emperor of Overlord fight to the death alone.
"A friendly spar? Why make such a fuss? You've already exposed the secret of Cao Ya Daozu's entry into the Heavenly Tomb." Li Hansong complained, speechless at the idiocy of that Overlord Emperor.
"Hehe." Everyone stared at Li Hansong, making him feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" Li Hansong.
"He really is a fool," Fang Ping muttered.
"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!" Li Hansong muttered.
He is the reincarnation of the Overlord Emperor, who gave him gifts and the Overlord Emperor's imperial weapon. He is a formidable fighter and ranks among the top in the human race.
Of the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns, only three died—the War Emperor, the Destroyer Emperor, and the Overlord Emperor—and were reincarnated as Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, and Li Hansong. They were exceptionally talented and had extraordinary comprehension. After entering the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm, they each received gifts from the projections of their past selves, greatly improving their cultivation levels and combat power.
In the human race, apart from Zhen Tianwang and Fang Ping, Wu Wang Zhang Tao is probably only on par with them.
Due to Cao Ya's influence, the situation in this timeline differs slightly from the original timeline.
Of course, Cao Ya is confident—if not 100%, at least 50% confident—that he can resolve the hidden dangers in the [Global High Martial Arts] world, crack the world's loopholes, and allow the other side to make a grand appearance and begin their own plan.
The previous pushes were all very weak. Only the spread of the new martial arts could be considered to have changed the situation and squeezed the living space of the original martial arts. Apart from that, there were indeed some other influences, but they were not big or obvious. That is why there was a "slight" difference.
"So, after Cao Ya Daozu, he entered the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm alone. Did he come here specifically to see the projection of the Three Emperors?" Zhen Tianwang pondered. Everyone knew who the Three Emperors he was referring to were.
In any case, the Heavenly Emperor is definitely not among them.
"What's his plan? How come we have no idea!" Fang Ping said, scratching his head, not quite understanding the deeper meaning behind Cao Ya's actions. His behavior was always unpredictable, ruthless, and unfathomable to the enemy, but when it came to scheming and understanding others' thoughts, Fang Ping was not particularly good at it.
"It's you, not us!" Zhang Tao corrected Fang Ping's mistake.
"You understand?" The King of Zhentian looked at Zhang Tao, his brows furrowing.
You should know that, not to mention Fang Ping, Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, and Li Hansong, even he himself was unaware of Cao Ya's scheme.
"I've heard him mention it." Zhang Tao thought for a moment, gave a wry smile, and still didn't say it directly, saying, "This plan is too unrealistic, so it's better not to talk about it."
"Playing hard to get," Li Hansong muttered.
"You idiot, you've finally said something we should applaud," Fang Ping said with a laugh via telepathy.
"Get out!" Li Hansong.
"Haha." Zhen Tianwang, Wang Jinyang, Zhang Tao, Yao Chengjun, and others couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, they were also astonished. They knew that Cao Ya Daozu was strong and unfathomable, but they never expected that he was so strong that he was comparable to the Supreme Heavenly Emperor!
However, a question lingered in their minds.
What exactly was the plan that Cao Yadaozu envisioned, which Zhang Tao was unwilling to discuss?
