Despite their confidence, the gods also knew that the Wind and Fire God, who had defeated the "Eight Great Saints" one after another, must be extremely powerful!
What if there's some mysterious trump card...?
Indeed, to become a Divine General, one must at least be a top-tier mid-stage Emperor-level expert. Having cultivated to this point, one has experienced numerous dangers and has been honed to the point of fearlessness.
But if it can be avoided, who would want to take the risk? Even if they are willing to take risks for the sake of opportunity, it doesn't mean that they are determined to fight the God of Wind and Fire to the death.
The Great Emperor of Beihe calmly said, "Hand over all your treasures, and let us choose."
"Great God of Wind and Fire, this is your only way out! If you really make a move, do you think you can still live?"
Cao Ya laughed. Given the Northern River Emperor's personality, if he really wanted to do that, he would definitely kill him without hesitation to eliminate any future troubles.
In terms of understanding the Great Emperor of the Northern River, even the divine generals who had followed him for millions of years were not as knowledgeable as Cao Ya.
"Emperor Beihe, your actions are even more imposing than those of the Supreme Being," Cao Ya clicked his tongue in disapproval.
"What do you know? The Great Emperor of Beihe is destined to become the third supreme being of my native race!" a divine general shouted, praising the Great Emperor of Beihe.
However, all the gods agreed with this statement, acknowledging that the emperor they followed possessed such abilities.
Without exaggeration, the strongest being below the Five Supreme Beings is the Northern River Emperor!
The other seven indigenous emperors, the thirteen emperors of the Deathly Fiend Clan, and the eight saints of the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms are all slightly inferior.
Even the heroes hidden in the shadows sighed inwardly, their gazes towards the Great Emperor of the Northern River filled with apprehension.
"There's no need to say more to him. A cultivator wouldn't know about the Broken Tooth Mountain Range."
The Great Emperor of the Northern River waved his hand arrogantly and said, "Great God of Wind and Fire, what is your answer?"
He sneered and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the thirty-six divine generals, centered on the Great Emperor of the Northern River, unleashed their auras, echoing each other. Their terrifying divine power shook the heavens and earth, and the entire strange space trembled.
"He's even stronger!" The crowd held their breath. Even though they were all late-stage Emperor-level beings and separated by trillions of miles, they still felt a tremendous threat.
They figured that if they faced it head-on, no matter how unwilling they were, they would have no choice but to submit.
"Emperor Beihe... the Supreme Being Haogu, actually allowed him to submit to his command without taking action to suppress him..."
Many important figures expressed surprise, thinking that the ambition of the Supreme Being Haogu was far too great.
Isn't he afraid of incurring the backlash from the Northern River Emperor?! With his modus operandi, if he were strong enough, he could easily have taken down the Supreme Emperor Haogu on the spot and climbed to the top.
"Supreme Haogu, you still cherish talent. In the end, our native race is still inferior to the Deathly Fiend Clan in terms of the number of top-level great supernatural beings, whether at the perfect level or in the later stages." A beautiful woman in purple robes sighed.
She is the Great Empress Xuan Tu, one of the strongest women in the Broken Tooth Mountains!
Beside them were Emperor Dongjian, Emperor Chenyao, Emperor Wufeng, and others, some belonging to Supreme Haogu, and others following Supreme Leixiao.
The two indigenous supreme beings did not descend, but their subordinates noticed the actions of the Northern River Emperor and secretly followed to investigate. They eventually learned that the man's purpose was indeed unrelated to their own. However, witnessing the actions of the Northern River Emperor and sensing the terrifying aura, they were still very wary.
In fact, many later-stage emperors also arrived from the Deathly Fiend Clan, such as the Radiant Emperor and the Fiend Emperor.
However, the "Eight Great Sages," who had been suppressed by Cao Ya, all avoided this place and were unwilling to approach it.
The Deathbringer race has very little rationality; they are filled with madness and glorify killing and death.
However, once one reaches the Cosmic God Realm, especially after reaching the third level of King and the fourth level of Emperor, one's power increases and wisdom eventually emerges, so one will not be particularly lacking.
The emperors, however, remained fundamentally unchanged, still revering death and occasionally bestowing upon the indigenous people a chilling "gift".
Even the three supreme beings of this race are like this, occasionally taking action to destroy a hidden world and "bestow" upon the natives within it the so-called "supreme glory," returning them to the embrace of death.
This is why the two major ethnic groups have great conflicts and cannot live in harmony.
As for the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms... compared to the natives and the Deathly Fiends, their numbers are far too few!
Moreover, each one is at least at the Emperor level, so it's not appropriate to target them indiscriminately!
"Emperor Yan, you are the head of our thirteen emperors, but compared to the Great Emperor of Beihe, you are no match." Emperor Yi transmitted his voice, these words carrying a special meaning.
The surrounding emperors were all amused.
They acknowledged the Emperor's status, but how much they truly respected him...
If Yanhuang is the ultimate level in the later stages, just one step away from perfection, then there's more to say.
The problem is that Emperor Yan is only at the mid-to-high level in the later stages. The reason he has secured the top position among the thirteen emperors is entirely due to the group of heroes under his command. Among them, there are fifty-five famous elders, each of whom is an emperor-level expert, and more than twenty-seven of them are at the level of divine generals!
They certainly cannot be like the thirty-six divine generals on the side of the Northern River Emperor, who can join forces to fight against the Supreme Being.
However, suppressing the likes of the Eight Great Emperors and the Thirteen Sovereigns should not be a major problem.
In contrast, Emperor Wufeng only had eight divine generals under his command.
This shows just how immense the power of the Northern River Emperor and the Yan Emperor truly was!
However, the Deathbringer Clan and the natives have a very poor relationship. In the upper-middle and top tiers of the late-stage Emperor level, the Thirteen Emperors, on the whole, surpass the Eight Great Emperors.
However, the leader, Emperor Yan, lost to Emperor Beihe in both his own cultivation and the foundation of his power... This was somewhat of a disgrace to the Death Fiend Clan.
Originally, there were three supreme beings above, who surpassed two supreme beings, and thirteen emperors below, who were ahead of eight great emperors.
However, it ended up holding back the Emperor...
"If you're so capable, then come at me." The Emperor's face darkened slightly, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes.
A bunch of fools, not even as powerful as me, yet they dare to say such things...
Without me, our Dead Abomination Clan will only fall further behind the natives at this level!
"Hehe." The emperors chuckled but did not reply.
"Hmm, the God of Wind and Fire is most likely to be killed by the Great Emperor of the Northern River. The good things in his hands must not fall into the hands of the Great Emperor of the Northern River again!" Emperor Yi said, not optimistic about Cao Ya.
“Not bad! Emperor Beihe is already strong enough. If he had another rare treasure, he might be able to break through to perfection... The natives are at the very peak level, on par with our Death Fiend Clan.” Another emperor was also full of apprehension.
Although they all believed that the treasure of the God of Wind and Fire should be suitable for cultivators, the Great Emperor of the Northern River had always performed exceptionally well, frequently drawing attention. It was hard to say whether this had inspired him to evolve his bloodline.
(
Unlike the Deathly Clan, who are completely unable to use such treasures, the natives can still make appropriate use of the wondrous objects within the system of rules and mysteries to a certain extent, only they cannot compare to cultivators.
A typical example is the resources within the floating islands, which the Dead Abominations can generally only watch helplessly.
The native inhabitants, on the other hand, can make some initial use of it. Of course, if a cultivator were to seize control of a floating island, everything would be put to full use, with absolutely no waste!
Given this understanding, it is only natural that the emperors would not want the Northern River Emperor to succeed and would try to obstruct him.
"The Thirty-Six Divine Generals are also present. It would be very dangerous for us to act rashly," said Emperor Yan.
"Don't worry, the God of Wind and Fire is no ordinary character. He was able to defeat the 'Eight Great Saints' in one-on-one combat. He can definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Emperor of the Northern River." A king chuckled.
"The natives and the cultivators, two top experts at the late stage, if they were to perish together... Ha, a battle between the strong, all perishing, how pleasing to the ear." Some emperors harbored deep malice.
Upon hearing this, the emperors quickly reached a consensus: regardless of their relationship or past grievances, they could at least cooperate on matters concerning foreign tribes.
It is clear that indigenous people and practitioners are their targets.
Therefore, they spread their divine senses, keeping an eye on the battlefield a trillion miles away, and were also ready to strike at any time, aiming to wipe out the Northern River Emperor and the Wind and Fire God in one fell swoop.
In fact, even those emperors had their own ulterior motives.
Since they did not want the Northern River Emperor to become the sole ruler, suppressing them so completely that they could never surpass him, they needed to intervene at this crucial moment in the current great battle.
Besides, how could they not also yearn for the treasures of the God of Wind and Fire?!
The covetousness of these emperors and sovereigns, their "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" mentality, was something that the Great Emperor of Beihe, with his abilities as a ruthless and ambitious ruler, could hardly be unaware of.
However, he had the confidence that his bloodline's evolutionary level was profound enough that, without the appearance of the five supreme beings, who could defeat him?
With the thirty-six divine generals present, even if the heroes suddenly rise up and launch an attack, they can completely withstand it.
At least, it can buy time for him to reap the spoils of the God of Wind and Fire. At that time, everything will be settled, and who can stop it?
Once he reaches the pinnacle and becomes a supreme being, he will take revenge on them one by one!
Clearly, with this mindset, the Great Emperor and the other emperors all regarded the God of Wind and Fire as a dead man.
They didn't think that the God of Wind and Fire had any chance of survival.
This strongest person in the history of the Realm Heart Continent is basically doomed!
Cao Ya looked around, discerning the different energies, and had a keen understanding of these kinds of emotions.
He chuckled inwardly, realizing that the cultivation civilization of the Realm Heart Continent had not reached its peak, and the Broken Tooth Mountain Range had consistently underestimated the profound system of rules.
To become mainstream in countless source worlds and special worlds, and to be valued by the lords of Hunyuan, is no ordinary feat.
The bloodline system is not as important as the system of rules and mysteries, and world-class experts of the Primordial Chaos realm do not value it much.
"Besides, what kind of wondrous object did I receive from 'Yuan'? How come I don't know about it myself?"
Cao Ya secretly shook his head. His strength stemmed from various great principles and numerous extraordinary systems, but had absolutely nothing to do with any treasures.
He didn't deny it because no one would believe him anyway; they were already prejudiced, and any further explanation would only be seen as a cover-up.
Moreover, he also needed such news to spread, to arouse the greed of various powerful figures, and to take the initiative to intercept and kill him. In this way, he would save the trouble of searching and could naturally turn the tables and kill him.
The only regret is that there are no lower-level chaotic life forms.
Cultivators from all major systems, unless they reach the limit and condense a semi-primordial life form, will lack the naturally perfect Dao traces within their bodies. In this respect, they are inferior to lower-level primordial life forms.
Needless to say, bloodline systems are all about exploring one's own unique bloodline. Outsiders, unless they share the same ancestor, are of little use.
"Forget it, let's deal with them, go find the Five Supreme Beings, get the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl and the Serpent Fang Marrow Pearl, then venture into the Serpent Fang Corridor before heading to the Thunder World."
Cao Ya thought to himself, even the Eight Great Sages have been analyzed. He now intends to leave.
He estimated that reaching the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm was the limit in the Broken Tooth Mountains.
Unless you are willing to stay and spend countless years cultivating.
If Cao Ya hadn't been familiar with the various intelligence reports, he might actually have been willing to stay.
Having become familiar with both the Thunder World and the Despair World... Cao Ya was unwilling to enter the latter rashly, but he still wanted to give the former a try.
In the Thunder World, there are many more God Emperors who have reached the Perfected stage, as well as many low-level Chaos Origin life forms and a batch of Chaos Origin corpses. If they can obtain them, they can help him break through to the late stage of God Emperor, and even have a two or three chance of reaching the Perfected stage.
With his current strength, achieving this kind of success wouldn't be particularly difficult for him.
It should be noted that a cultivator at the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm is already comparable to a cultivator at the late-stage of the bloodline system.
Those extraordinary systems are even more genuine, incredibly powerful, and capable of rivaling even the God Emperor at his peak!
"Boom!" Just then, Cao Ya made his move, and endless divine light shone brightly in the sky!
Faced with the combined forces of the Northern River Emperor and the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, Cao Ya would not underestimate them.
A lineup capable of fighting against a supreme being must have reached the peak of the God Emperor realm!
The group of heroes lurking in the shadows, individually, are not enough to pose a threat, but if they attack together, there is still some danger.
After all, those guys were all top performers in the later stages, and they were only a step away from reaching the perfect level.
"Whoosh." Cao Ya's body swayed, and three heads and six arms appeared, operating various profound laws.
The Way of Wind, the Way of Fire, the Way of Death, the Way of Void, the Way of Lightning, the Way of Reincarnation, the Way of Light, the Way of Darkness, the Way of Destruction, the Way of Devouring, the Way of Ice Soul, the Way of Blood...
In an instant, a vast and mighty divine power, filled with mysterious colors, permeated the nine heavens and ten earths.
Among them, Cao Ya also used techniques such as "Mingguang Dao" from "Desolate Era", "Da Ri Ru Lai Quan" from "Sacred Ruins", "Reincarnation Dao" from "The Supreme Being of the World", and "Cosmic Elixir Scripture" from "Primordial Era", unleashing terrifying power that intimidated all the heroes!
"This aura..." Instantly, Emperor Wufeng, Emperor Dongjian, Emperor Xuantu, Emperor Chenyao, as well as Emperor Yi and Emperor Yan, all had their expressions change drastically.
At this moment, they actually felt the same fear as when facing a supreme being in the presence of the God of Wind and Fire!
This person has actually reached the peak of the Emperor level?!
"Hmm?" The Northern River Emperor's pupils contracted, also not expecting this.
However, he was very well prepared and had thirty-six divine generals with him, so he was still fearless.
Emperor Beihe asked himself, based on his measures, if Supreme Haogu did not have the assistance of loyal divine generals, nor did Emperor Wufeng or Emperor Chenyao show up, and if it was just Supreme alone without the advantage of terrain, he was indeed confident that he could suppress him.
Various artifacts first limit his ability to perform. When the gods join forces, they are enough to rival him head-on. If he then activates his ultimate move... even the Supreme Being cannot withstand it!
"Proceed according to plan!"
With a fierce shout, the Great Emperor of the Northern River responded, and immediately, a surge of divine power erupted, sweeping across trillions of miles of void!
