The terror of prehistoric top-level Dao attainers, when fully unleashed, shakes all the heavens and myriad worlds, and can practically sweep through this seventeenth era!
If Taiyi does not emerge, who can rival him?
Even the Emperor Tai wouldn't do it!
"Cao Tianzun, is he... capable?" Countless gods and demons held their breath.
Without a doubt, this duel surpassed even the Heavenly Venerable!
Even ordinary cultivators at the 36th or 37th Heaven level cannot compare to him!
Qin Mu, the butcher, and others couldn't help but divert their divine senses to watch from afar.
The same applies to Hongtianzun, Zushenwang, and others.
The clash between those two powerful figures had a profound impact, and the outcome of the Xuandu War was determined by them.
Although the body of the Venerable Lingyu is still that of the Divine Emperor Langxuan, his temperament has changed drastically.
In terms of the magical power of the Heavenly Palace Divine Realm system, as well as the application of the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Divine Consciousness, Venerable Lingyu far surpasses Emperor Langxuan.
As a prehistoric enlightened being, Venerable Lingyu's spiritual consciousness was so strong that even the Supreme Emperor himself dared not claim to be superior.
During the Sixteenth Era, he possessed the nascent ancient god Taichu and reached the level of the thirty-sixth level of the Dao Realm, which was far superior to that of the Langxuan God Emperor.
As for the Heavenly Palace Divine Realm...
In fact, this is a cultivation system of the prehistoric Miluo Palace. Although he was not a member of Miluo Palace, how could Venerable Lingyu not collect cultivation methods and study them over such a long period of time, and thus gain his own understanding?
"So strong!!!"
The Venerable Ones sensed the attack of Venerable Lingyu and were greatly shocked.
As they fought, they watched intently, eager to see how Cao Yatianzun would contend with Lingyu Shangzun, or... be utterly defeated!
After all, Madam Yuanmu and the others were still being attacked by various Taoist magics.
Clearly, even when faced with the killing intent of Venerable Lingyu, Venerable Cao did not go all out to deal with it.
Seeing this, Venerable Lingyu's expression turned gloomy.
"You look down on me so much?" Venerable Lingyu was furious. At his peak, even the young master of the Mi Luo Palace dared not underestimate him, let alone a mere Daoist disciple from the seventeenth century.
That's incredibly audacious!
"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish and end your life." Venerable Lingyu said coldly, unleashing a massive burst of divine power, his body moving with it, his radiance dazzling, overwhelming the heavens, extremely blinding, a prehistoric master, unparalleled in the world!
"It is indeed very impressive, but..."
Cao Ya possesses a reserved temperament, like an ancient well, remaining undisturbed for millennia.
His moral character seems to be unparalleled in the universe!
“If you were at your peak in prehistoric times, perhaps even if I went all out, I would still lose to you,” Cao Ya said calmly.
His combat strength is roughly at the advanced level of the five-star level, but he is still a little short of the peak of the five-star level.
As for a ruthless character like Venerable Lingyu, he was able to stand independently outside of the Miro Palace, the World Tree, and the Heavenly Capital City. Moreover, he secretly crossed over to the Seventeenth Era, and even in the Sixteenth Era, he preemptively seized the body of the Primordial Ancient God, demonstrating his extraordinary origins...
These examples all demonstrate how terrifying Venerable Lingyu is.
"At his peak, he must have been a five-star level being, comparable to a complete Heavenly Court," Cao Ya thought. Such a person would be formidable in any universe.
Given the current situation, this site may be shut down at any time. Please switch to the permanently operating source-switching app, huanyuanapp, as soon as possible.
However, having arrived at the Seventeenth Cosmic Era, his strength has been greatly diminished and has not yet fully recovered. Of the various Great Dao Fruits, only one remains; the whereabouts of the others are unknown.
Even though Venerable Lingyu has profound understanding and can still mobilize some great supernatural powers of the heretical path, its power is obviously reduced and no longer at its peak.
In this way, Cao Ya, even with only a portion of his forces, is confident that he can handle the situation.
Of course, it's hard to say whether they'll win.
Fortunately, perhaps because Venerable Lingyu was wary of Taiyi, he had been hiding and plotting something. Before being discovered by Divine Emperor Langxuan, he was unable to leave the Ancestral Court and was therefore unable to recover. He attempted to comprehend a new Great Dao in the new cosmic era, aiming directly at the ultimate void, and was about to open up the Great Luo Heaven.
Even some of the Dao fruits he had previously attained have been lost.
It is evident that Venerable Lingyu was not in good condition.
This is one of the reasons why Cao Ya believed he could handle it.
"The two Taiji Ancient Gods are gone, and the resurrection of the Venerable Lingyu has replaced the God Emperor Langxuan. Otherwise, I would really be in a big mess."
Cao Ya was relieved. Although there was a formidable character like Lingyu Shangzun, the absence of three Heavenly Venerable-level opponents was still a positive factor for him.
“No matter how powerful you are, in the Seventeenth Cosmic Era, someone like you is not allowed to run around like this!” Cao Ya said, revealing numerous golden Buddhist Dharma images, as huge as stars, standing in Xuandu, illuminating all the heavens, and terrifying gods and demons.
An unusual change occurred to him; he gained three heads and six arms, each forming hand seals, and his body shimmered with light.
"Sizzle~~"
The void seemed to be torn apart like cloth, and the Kunpeng leaped out, roaring to the heavens and earth. It flicked its tail and soared upwards, heading straight for the Venerable Lingyu.
"This divine beast... is in no way inferior to the dragon, phoenix, or qilin!" Venerable Lingyu exclaimed in surprise, but he was also confident that the magical power he unleashed was enough to suppress any enemy!
"If you went all out, I wouldn't dare say I could win in my current state, but you're so arrogant..."
Venerable Lingyu sneered.
"Cao Tianzun, I see you are courting your own destruction!"
Cao Ya remained calm and did not engage in any verbal sparring. After the Kunpeng flew out, a large burst of rosy light erupted, and the dazzling sword energy covered the sky and the earth.
Aside from that, the profound mysteries of the laws of light, darkness, wind, and fire also stirred, surging forth one after another, striking against the great divine powers of Venerable Lingyu!
As for the death intent of heaven and earth, the blade's edge, and the lightning, Cao Ya did not retract them, and was still engaged in fierce battle with Madam Yuanmu, Palace Celestial Venerable, Consort Qiangtian, and a group of divine artifacts, Imperial Celestial Venerable.
The Dao principles used to deal with Venerable Lingyu are already numerous and powerful enough!
Cao Ya's mastery of techniques such as the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, the Law of Light, the Law of Darkness, and the Law of Wind might not necessarily be considered to have reached the five-star level.
However, the combined power of swordsmanship, the way of fire, and other systems is quite terrifying.
It is in no way inferior to the Way of the Sword, the Way of Lightning, or the Way of Death.
The fact that Cao Ya used all his resources to confront Lingyu Shangzun is enough to show how much importance he placed on it.
These prehistoric enlightened beings are quite formidable and should not be underestimated.
The magic of both sides was vast and boundless, captivating the entire Xuandu. Even gods and demons were dazzled and filled with fear.
Compared to their battle, even the Heavenly Venerable Battlefield on the side seemed somewhat weak.
"A clash between enlightened beings!"
Countless gods and demons were terrified.
In their horrified gazes, the Heavenly Dao seemed to wail, unable to bear the sight, and vast swathes of the void collapsed, unable to recover for a long time.
The Heavenly Emperor even sensed a kind of instinctive apprehension from the Forty-Nine Heavenly Daos, who wanted to expel Cao Ya and Lingyu Shangzun from Xuandu, otherwise they would be a deadly threat!
The Heavenly Emperor had to divert his energy to appease the Heavenly Dao, which gave Hong Tianzun and Zu Shenwang a chance to catch their breath.
At that very moment—
"Boom..."
A vast territory collapsed, various spells collided, tearing apart heaven and earth, the void exploded, and countless cries of agony echoed.
The clash between top-tier Dao cultivators had far-reaching consequences, creating a spectacular scene unlike anything seen in the entire Seventeenth Cosmic Era, and arguably the strongest battle in billions of years!
Even if the Supreme Emperor descended to earth and the Ancient God Emperor returned, they would still pale in comparison to those two.
"Truly powerful! Apart from Taiyi of the Ancestral Court, probably no one can compare!"
All the celestial beings were deeply shaken.
Cao Ya retreated tens of millions of miles away. The enormous Dharma image was shattered in many places, and the remaining ones were also covered in cracks, seemingly about to vanish into nothingness.
However, with the infusion of magical power, it immediately returned to its original state.
At the same time, the sword light was boundless, the light was dazzling, the darkness was profound, the wind was raging, and the flames were rising...
All the laws, with their auspicious radiance, were mysterious and wondrous, vast and boundless, engulfing the heavens.
The Venerable Lingyu coughed up blood, and the Heavenly Palace, which originally belonged to the Divine Emperor Langxuan, developed even more cracks. As for the main hall, it was on the verge of being destroyed.
"This body is terrible." Venerable Lingyu was dissatisfied. If it were his original body, he would not have been injured, and he would not have vomited blood.
Of course, he also knew that those who had achieved enlightenment ahead of the major powers and had sneaked into the present world ahead of time had already gained an advantage, and the losses were acceptable.
However, Venerable Lingyu did not expect that in the seventeenth cosmic era, there would already be beings like Cao Ya.
Even in prehistoric times, he would be considered a great master!
Taiyi's situation is special. Venerable Lingyu knows that Taiyi is not actually a pure 17th-century ancient god, so it cannot be generalized.
"Well, since it's not my body anyway, it's fine if it's destroyed. As long as I can step out of Xuandu, escape into the myriad realms, and find a place to cultivate, it's not a loss."
"With my cultivation, I can master all the great Daos I've worked on before in three to five years. I will then create my own Great Luo Heaven in the ultimate void of the seventeenth era, and even try out all sorts of great Dao rules, producing more Dao flowers and fruits, and becoming increasingly powerful!"
"When the third and fourth young masters of the Mi Luo Palace come, I won't be intimidated!"
After careful consideration, Venerable Lingyu decided to abandon the physical body of the Divine Emperor Langxuan and sever his tail to save his life.
In any case, his essence lies within that Dao Fruit.
It's just a physical body; it exists everywhere in the myriad realms.
So what if the foundation is a little weak? With the abilities of Venerable Lingyu, once he gains freedom and his consciousness is fully awakened and unrestricted, wouldn't it be an easy thing to improve?
With this thought in mind, Venerable Lingyu did not show it on his face, but when he and Cao Ya started fighting, he did not care at all, often exchanging injuries for injuries. His great supernatural powers were fierce, and he shattered tens of millions of miles of void!
If it weren't for the sword light blocking the way and the Dharma form resisting, Cao Ya would also have been in danger.
In the blink of an eye, two or three hundred rounds had passed. Cao Ya suddenly narrowed his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
"Venerable Lingyu, he... seems to want to escape... leave Xuandu?!"
Cao Ya suddenly realized what was going on.
Immediately, Cao Ya chuckled to himself.
"Boom!!"
In an instant, Cao Ya attacked, his aura sharp and fierce, like a supreme immortal sword being drawn from its sheath, captivating the mind and spirit.
Countless Buddhist images, accompanied by the roaring Kunpeng, were intertwined with light and darkness, aided by wind and fire, with endless sword energy and auspicious colors rising from heaven and earth, as if the great Xuandu realm had been sublimated, and all spirits were about to ascend to immortality.
Such power is unprecedented in history. Even the Heavenly Venerable was visibly shaken and felt his scalp tingle.
"Release!" Venerable Lingyu shouted. He didn't care at all about the Heavenly Palace that Emperor Langxuan had painstakingly cultivated. He directly ignited it, and all kinds of techniques and laws were burned. In an instant, his power increased by two times. Venerable Lingyu felt that he had regained some of his glory when he was at his peak!
"Haha, Cao Tianzun, let me show you what a prehistoric enlightened being is!"
"The barren 17th century... hehe, it was really lagging behind."
Lingyu Shangzun laughed loudly, looking down on the world with arrogance. At this moment, he was self-confident and transcendent, as if he were facing an ordinary living being, casually scolding him.
"Rest, rest, rest!!!"
However, the divine powers of the two sides clashed again, with light, darkness, wind, and fire raging. The great divine power was broken, and the sword energy was equal to the magic, suddenly approaching. Lingyu Shangzun's eyes twitched, and he retreated tens of millions of miles. At the same time, he clapped his hands, his magic power vast, and he used the Primordial Divine Power to barely resist.
Cao Ya chuckled and continued charging forward.
Lingyu Shangzun blushed, enraged and embarrassed, and accelerated the burning of the Heavenly Palace. In return, he gained even more vigorous magical power, unleashing all kinds of great divine abilities to strike Cao Ya and intercept many secret techniques. A conflict erupted, and the power was released, tearing apart the Heavenly Dao within a range of hundreds of millions of miles. The universe collapsed, and the scene was terrifying.
"It's good that it's blocked." Madam Yuanmu and Consort Qiangtian were both slightly relieved despite their shock.
Their eyes darted around as they began to think about how to escape.
Gong Tianzun, holding the dragon spear, protected himself amidst the endless death aura while looking at Lingyu Shangzun with hatred in his eyes.
Regardless of their relationship, Emperor Langxuan was always her biological child.
"Once I escape, and I have cultivated to become a true Great Heavenly Court, I will definitely seek out Venerable Lingyu and avenge this grudge!"
Gong Tianzun gritted his teeth, but then suddenly deflated.
She knew very well that, with her own strength, it was simply impossible to deal with Venerable Lingyu.
And so they went to seek out Xiaotianzun...
"That guy has a lot of offspring, he's a womanizer, and he reincarnates in various ways to befriend beautiful women. Because of this, he was tricked by Yun Tianzun, Hao Tianzun, and Madam Yuanmu, and almost died. He can only rise again as Xiao Tianzun."
"Don't even think about him causing trouble for Venerable Lingyu. It would be good enough if he didn't collude with him."
Gong Tianzun was filled with resentment. The Taidi and the Ancient God Emperor were both ruthless and cruel people who would do anything to anyone except him!
At this moment, horns resounded throughout the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Venerable's blood and energy surged once more. Her beautiful hair flew wildly, and her bright eyes shone, piercing through the deathly aura.
"I am the Heavenly Venerable, why should I rely on the power of others?"
"Give me another million years, and I will surely attain enlightenment!"
Gong Tianzun gritted his teeth and used his profound spear technique. A great dragon appeared, shaking its head and roaring. Its scales were sharp and reflected a cold light.
At the same time, her incomplete Heavenly Court trembled, and streams of magical power surged in, empowering her.
However, with a whoosh, the lifeless ocean vanished, and a single wave destroyed the great dragon. If Gong Tianzun hadn't dodged in time, he would have been seriously injured.
"Damn it." Gong Tianzun's face was grim.
Let alone escape or attack Lingyu Shangzun, even a portion of Cao Ya's mental manipulation of death energy couldn't stop them. With such combat power, how could they possibly seek revenge?
The power of the Supreme Spirit Jade was evident in the divine sense of the Heavenly Venerable Gong, who felt a heavy weight in his heart.
At his peak, he was even more terrifying than the Supreme Emperor!
Without the help of the Ancient God Emperor, Cao Ya's attitude became clear from the attacks of the Heavenly Will of Death.
He neither loved her nor spared her life.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, rather than being engulfed by Cao Ya's death aura and dying silently in Xuandu, it's better to..."
Gong Tianzun stared at Lingyu Shangzun with hatred in his eyes.
"At the cost of my soul being scattered..."
"I am the Celestial Venerable, and even if I perish, I will die in a way that shakes the heavens and earth!"
"A prehistoric enlightened being buried with him... Ha, that's enough! He's avenged himself!"
