"No wonder the Demon Spider and others trusted the Demon Dragon so much, believing that he could kill the First Emperor."
"So, there was a fragment of that Chaos Treasure... However, they miscalculated. The First Emperor also had a spirit leaf, of no lower grade."
Cao Ya watched in awe of the terrifying power of the Chaos Divine Tree. Its spirit leaves alone were comparable to the pinnacle of second-grade spiritual treasures. This thing was difficult to condense, but given enough time, it could eventually be generated.
He was unaware that the Chaos Divine Tree had thrown out three spirit leaves at the moment when the Three Sovereigns Daoist attained sainthood!
They fell into the hands of Yang Jian, the First Emperor, and Liu Ji, respectively.
However, no one, including Yang Jian and Liu Ji, knew about it, but the First Emperor's possessions were exposed during this battle.
The two of them, one in the celestial realm at the mouth of the Guanjiang River and the other in the terrestrial immortal realm at Mount Mangdang, were both quite astonished when they saw that spiritual leaf.
It turns out that there is more than one such strange object... What is the Chaos Divine Tree planning?
Immediately, confusion arose in their hearts.
The special nature of the spirit leaf, its power, and its miraculous effect on enlightenment are extraordinary.
They reasoned that even the Chaos God Tree wouldn't possess many spirit leaves.
Why did they just throw out two pieces out of nowhere?
Neither of them knew the other's situation.
"Seven-star advanced level, how rich must their family be?" Cao Ya enviously thought. The treasures distributed after the three sermons at Zixiao Palace have been passed down through the ages. Which expert of later generations wouldn't feel regret?
Although everyone knows that many of the spiritual treasures were only collected by Hongjun, they actually belong to other owners. If he tries to seize them, he will be disliked by the Heavenly Dao and fall from the "Dao Integration" realm.
Otherwise, who would be so kind as to give up so many magical treasures?
You should know that there is a large number of Chaos Treasures inside!
"Yes, the battle has reached a critical juncture!" Cao Ya focused his attention on the fierce fighting.
Outside the realm of immortals, the First Emperor and the Chaos Demon Dragon are still locked in battle, their divine power sweeping across and shattering the Great Dao!
"Thud." The spirit leaf and the blade clashed, tearing apart the sea of stars.
"Roar!!" The demonic dragon roared, its cry resounding and triggering the laws of nature, overshadowing the sun and moon.
However, the First Emperor's response was also decisive. He raised his imperial sword, twirled it, and blocked the demonic dragon.
"We can't drag this out any longer." The First Emperor took a deep breath. A protracted war would be disadvantageous to him, as the human destiny could not withstand prolonged turmoil.
"That spiritual leaf, though a treasure, should not be lingered upon when it is time to discard it."
The First Emperor pondered that after he achieved unification and attained the weak Hunyuan realm, he accidentally discovered the Spirit Leaf during an eastern tour. After careful study, he confirmed that it was an item from the Chaos Divine Tree and had no hidden dangers. He then carried it with him to aid his cultivation.
However, the First Emperor also understood that the Spirit Leaf could still be of some help at his current level.
That final insurmountable barrier to sainthood is beyond the reach of any external aids.
Originally, I intended to bestow it upon Prince Fusu, but time is of the essence, the demonic dragon launched a surprise attack, and we must make use of it.
"Bang!" After the First Emperor made up his mind, the spirit leaf suddenly burst into flames, unleashing unparalleled magical power. In an instant, it suppressed the blade and even pierced through the white treasure bottle!
"What?!" The demonic dragon was startled. They were supposed to be locked in a stalemate, so why had the First Emperor suddenly become so ferocious?!
Upon closer inspection, Fang realized the situation. The demonic dragon's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"As a veteran weakling, it would be a great disgrace if I couldn't defeat a newcomer like you!"
The First Emperor said indifferently, "Having lived for countless years, you are still an unconventional sage. Your aptitude is far too poor."
The demon dragon's face darkened. "You son of a bitch, do you really think that becoming a saint is so easy to achieve?"
He was a mighty Chaos Demon Dragon, a master even among the weakest Hunyuan realms in the world.
Most are not as good as him, therefore, he has always been arrogant... How could he allow himself to be mocked by a human emperor?!
"Die!" The demonic dragon could no longer bear it and transformed into its largest form, a colossal dragon that stretched across the starry sky. The sun, moon, and stars were about the same size as one of its dragon scales, which showed its magnificence.
"Buzz." The white treasure bottle also expanded rapidly, swallowing up patches of star fields.
It melted down the stars, transformed into the primordial chaotic energy, and burst forth, ending the world!
"Whoosh!" The blade spun rapidly, trying to intercept the spirit leaf.
However, the First Emperor acted decisively, detonating the spirit leaf. The chaotic energy engulfed the blade, tearing it apart. Then, the power of the spirit leaf caused the treasure bottle to shake violently, and the dragon scales were crumbling.
"Boom!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, the First Emperor broke through the air and slashed with his imperial sword, almost cutting the Chaos Demon Dragon in half!
"Ah!" The dragon cried out in pain as a huge sword wound appeared on its waist, from which blood flowed.
"How could I possibly lose to you?!" The dragon's arrogance was shattered by the First Emperor. He was extremely unwilling and furious, and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.
In an instant, the dragon's horns, whiskers, eyes, scales, and claws all surged with unique magical principles, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, merging into one, forming an endless wave that actually shattered the imperial aura!
"As expected of a veteran weak mixed element cultivator, you are indeed very powerful, but I am still a cut above you!"
The First Emperor praised it, and then the Imperial Sword sliced through the void, cutting it in two like a piece of paper. The wave also began to disappear amidst the howl of the demonic dragon.
However, just as the First Emperor was confident of victory and was about to kill the Chaos Dragon at the cost of the spontaneous combustion of the Spirit Leaf, suddenly, another tide, carrying chaotic mist, plummeted down.
"Hmm?!" The First Emperor's brows furrowed. This tidal wave was even more powerful than the waves that the Chaos Dragon had fought desperately to create... It was the Primordial Saint!
At the same time, inside the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Emperors Daoist's eyes turned cold. It was the Chaos Ferocious Shark!
"Whoosh!" A sword, a furnace, and the Hetu Luoshu all flew out of the Fire Cloud Cave.
"Clang!!" A bell rang, and Donghuang Taiyi, with the Chaos Bell above his head, disrupted the flow of time and sealed off the Fire Cloud Cave.
Beside him, the Chaos Rabbit also unleashed boundless black magic power, enveloping the universe.
Two seasoned Saint Realm experts were determined to besiege the Fire Cloud Cave. Although the Three Emperors Daoist was unique and extremely powerful even though he had just attained the Dao, and possessed three spiritual treasures, time was ultimately too short. The Xuanyuan Sword, Shennong Furnace, Hetu, and Luoshu had not yet fully reached the level of first-class spiritual treasures.
Furthermore, the Three Sovereigns Daoist also needs time to allow him to go further in the Holy Realm.
With the help of the heroes of Huoyun Cave and the magic array, which is the alliance between Donghuang Taiyi and Chaos Demon Rabbit, they are just on par.
“Three Emperors Daoist, I told you, you can’t get out,” Donghuang Taiyi said calmly.
"If Donghuang Taiyi and I came here alone, we would be no match for you—ha, the three emperors combined are indeed powerful—that's why we came together. If we can't even stop a newly promoted Saint Realm expert like you, what face do we have to travel the prehistoric world?" Chaos Demon Rabbit laughed, wearing a feathered robe, with Dao principles spreading out.
The Three Emperors Daoist's expression was grave. He activated his spiritual treasure, its divine power radiating across the heavens, as it clashed with the Chaos Bell and a feathered robe emitting a faint dark light.
The problem is that both the Hetu and Luoshu are second-class spiritual treasures, and only when they are combined can they be compared to first-class treasures.
The Xuanyuan Sword and the Shennong Furnace do not possess this natural ability to fuse. Originally, they followed the Earth Emperor and the Human Emperor and were only of the second rank. Now, it will take a long time to advance their rank and break into the first rank.
Moreover, the Chaos Demon Rabbit's feather robe is still considered a common Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
But that Chaos Bell... is one of the most exquisite treasures throughout history!
And which of those who can become saints is weak?
Donghuang Taiyi and the Chaos Demon Rabbit, who hasn't cultivated for countless years?
Their strength is formidable, isn't it? Especially Donghuang Taiyi, who is extremely ferocious!
The Three Sovereigns Taoist, as a newly enlightened being of the Primordial Chaos realm, was able to fight two against one and hold his own against them, thanks to the presence of the heroes and the advantageous location of the Fire Cloud Cave. This already demonstrated the Three Sovereigns' talent.
It's really unlikely that they could turn the tables and suppress Donghuang Taiyi and Chaos Demon Rabbit!
At least, within billions of years, it's highly unlikely.
The time required for cultivation in the sacred realm is truly boundless.
“Chaotic Ferocious Shark…” The Three Emperors Daoist’s gaze was filled with killing intent.
That was a gigantic shark, one of the Chaos Gods, even surpassing the Demon Dragon and the Demon Spider, a true holy realm!
It roams the chaos like a vast ocean, moving at incredible speeds and possessing monstrous destructive power.
Without the demonic dragon, the First Emperor might have been able to escape from the Chaos Shark if he faced it head-on. If he had another trillion years, and if he had become a saint, with his abilities, he could have wielded the Emperor's Sword and even killed the Chaos Shark.
Unfortunately, the conditions do not allow it. These beings above the weakest level will not tolerate the human race having such a long period of development!
"Boom!" In many places, the collision of magical power shattered mountains and rivers, shaking the entire region.
Even in the northern star realm of the celestial realm, Cao Ya and the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei both unleashed their power!
"Wait a minute," the Chaos Demon Spider chuckled, "If I were to send you down to the mortal realm, what face would you have left to appear in this world?"
"Besides, with your level of cultivation, do you think you can stop the Chaos Shark?"
Cao Ya and the Great Emperor of the North Pole remained silent.
Indeed, if they went to a Chaos Ferocious Shark or a Primordial Saint Realm expert like them, they would only be throwing their lives away.
"We can only rely on... the First Emperor himself." The Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei smiled bitterly.
After being conferred the title of a god, his power increased dramatically, comparable to the ninth level of a quasi-saint. However, he was still no match for the true great figures of the primordial world.
"A one-on-one duel, but a chaotic ferocious shark suddenly appeared..." A murderous glint flashed in Cao Ya's eyes.
Although opposing factions often resort to all sorts of schemes and unscrupulous means to win, this is commonplace.
But the other party broke the rules first...
Cao Ya felt a sudden pang of bitterness. What could he do if the other party broke the rules?
There's absolutely no way to kill that Chaos Shark! So far, among the entire human race, the only true Primordial Chaos cultivators are the Three Sovereigns and Daoists. There are a few more Weak Primordial Chaos cultivators, such as the First Emperor and Lao Tzu.
Nuwa, the Moral Celestial Venerable, Houtu, and others also helped some Primordial Saint Realms withstand the attacks.
"It's still a lack of power..." Cao Ya analyzed his cultivation progress with a serious expression.
It would take him a very long time to reach the ninth level of Quasi-Sainthood.
Let alone taking the first step towards sainthood, one is already a weak Primordial Chaos cultivator, and the subsequent attainment of enlightenment is nowhere in sight!
"If I were as old as the Chaos Shark or the Chaos Spider, having lived for countless trillions of years... perhaps... well, I dare not presume to speak of the Saint Realm, but I am confident of reaching the Weak Primordial Chaos Realm."
Cao Ya knew that what the heroes and beauties of the human race needed most was not only secret techniques, but also time!
As time went on, the overall strength of the prehistoric world became increasingly formidable.
If the human race were in the early Dragon-Han Calamity, it would be no less powerful than the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races.
Even during the Lich Wars, they could still rival the Witch Clan and the Demon Court for supremacy in the universe.
However, in this world, there are more and more Saint Realm beings, unconventional Saints, and countless Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals... The human race is very powerful, but it is still lacking in some aspects.
Since the beginning of the ages, those who have become saints are not only the masters of the primordial era, but also some chaotic demon gods who have broken through during this period.
Before the creation of the world, Hongjun, Rahu, the Chaos Divine Tree, and the Great God Yangmei absolutely did not possess the abilities they have today!
"I must become even more diligent, studying the rules of the universe and perfecting the 'Cosmic Elixir Scripture.' I must first reach the ninth level of Quasi-Saint before considering how to attain the Weak Primordial Chaos Realm..."
"Hopefully, by then, my overall combat strength will be the first to break through the boundaries of the alternative saint!"
"We can deal with the Chaos Spider and the Demon Scorpion."
Cao Ya's mind was like a knife, cutting away the bitterness, his resolve as firm as iron.
Even the most extraordinary will find it extremely difficult to interfere with reality.
Perhaps Cao Ya's future cultivation will be smoother, but at present, he cannot make a leap in his cultivation level.
Beyond the realm of the Immortals, the First Emperor was exerting all his strength, unleashing his Imperial Sword to severely injure the Demon Dragon.
Despite some precautions, no one expected the Chaos Shark to suddenly appear!
Faced with the magic of a Saint Realm Demon God, the First Emperor naturally coughed up blood on the spot. His body, which contained endless fortune, shattered, and the Imperial Sword also disintegrated.
"Haha, First Emperor, I personally saw you off, which is enough to give you face."
The Chaos Shark laughed loudly. A dignified saint, sneaking up on a weak Primordial Chaos cultivator, and doing so during the First Emperor's campaign against the Chaos Demon Dragon... If this gets out, it's truly shameless and despicable.
But would the Chaos Shark care?
How could a Saint Realm expert, in a weak Primordial Chaos state, possibly bear such a divine power?
"Cough cough." The First Emperor was seriously injured, and his breath fell out of control.
"Chaos Ferocious Shark, thank you!" The Chaos Demon Dragon was greatly encouraged. Although it was unexpected, I could not defeat the First Emperor in his prime, but how could I not be a match for him when he was injured?
"Whoosh." The Chaos Shark swam and disappeared into the void once more, swimming in the Chaos Sea.
"I am the First Emperor, and even if there were true sages, you, the Chaos Dragon, would be no match for me!"
The First Emperor sensed the injuries to his soul and felt a slight unease in his heart.
The timing of the Chaos Shark's attack was perfect; with a single strike, it nearly killed him.
If there is sufficient time, it can be slowly nurtured and healed, and may gradually recover over millions of years.
However, the Chaos Demon Dragon, at the peak of the weak Primordial Chaos realm, had finally seen an opportunity to win, so how could it miss it?
Even though the First Emperor initially held the advantage against such a formidable adversary, he would never underestimate him.
The Chaos Dragon is indeed a formidable adversary!
Most importantly, with the devastating blow dealt to the First Emperor, the fate of the Qin Dynasty began to become unstable.
As a powerful figure in the art of ruling a dynasty, this had a fatal impact on the First Emperor.
"Buzz." The First Emperor raised his hand, and the remaining power of the spirit leaf after it spontaneously combusted fell down.
"It's no use, you will die today!" The Chaos Dragon roared, its massive body charging towards the First Emperor.
"I am invincible among those of the same rank!"
The First Emperor said, making a hand seal with his left hand, and the power of the spiritual leaves surged and bound the demonic dragon.
"Boom!" Immediately, holding the Emperor Sword in his right hand, amidst the astonished gazes of the surrounding experts, he severed the head of the Chaos Demon Dragon with a single sword strike, despite his severely injured body!
"Ah!!!" The Chaos Dragon roared sharply.
"What?!"
Countless experts were completely dumbfounded.
Even with his soul and body dissolving, the First Emperor and the Chaos Dragon still couldn't defeat him?
"Amazing!" Cao Ya exclaimed.
The Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star is equally astonishing.
The Chaos Demon Spider was also greatly shaken.
