Cao Ya had only one reaction to the arrogant behavior of the owner of the Blue Gold Tower.
Boom!!!
He made a sudden move, his fist forming a seal, imbued with lightning, and struck heavily.
"Just an ordinary Quasi-Emperor, yet you dare to be so arrogant? Do you know who I am?" The voice of the Blue Gold Emperor Tower Master was cold and extremely displeased.
As someone who is about to attain enlightenment, he is destined to shine with the most brilliant light in this life. Apart from the ancient supreme beings, he can command the entire universe.
An ordinary quasi-emperor, his subordinates have served under him for thousands of years.
During its rise to power, several quasi-emperors died at its hands.
Where did this unremarkable, ordinary quasi-emperor come from...?
Suddenly, a surprised shout came from the Blue Gold Tower:
"Who exactly are you? You're also a cultivator about to attain enlightenment, yet you're disguised as an ordinary quasi-emperor. I've wandered the universe for thousands of years, surveying the starry sea for countless years, how come I've never heard of you before?"
As he spoke, he also made a cold and ruthless move.
Boom!!!
The Imperial Tower, forged from eternal blue gold, shook violently. Its thirty-three layers seemed to have solidified with the thirty-three layers of heaven, possessing the power to destroy countless stars.
However, Cao Ya's lightning was clearly no ordinary thing. When it clashed with the Blue Gold Emperor Tower, the aftershocks of its divine power spread out and swept across this part of the starry sky that had already been destroyed by the cosmic gold fragments.
"As expected, you are indeed a person on the verge of attaining enlightenment!" the master of the Blue Gold Emperor Tower said coldly, his voice filled with chilling killing intent.
Anyone who is destined to attain enlightenment is a seed of a great emperor.
Moreover, this is different from the so-called prodigies, divine sons and saints. So-called prodigies, in fact, cannot be guaranteed to become saints, and may die halfway. But if they can become great saints, they have already surpassed 90% of geniuses. In the end, there are very few who have become quasi-emperors in a lifetime.
However, those who attain enlightenment are different. As the most outstanding beings among quasi-emperors, they are only one step away from attaining enlightenment. Their aptitude, comprehension, temperament, and opportunities are all excellent—otherwise, they would not have been able to reach this point!
If someone suddenly gains some insight, perhaps that person who is about to attain enlightenment will begin to undergo the tribulation of enlightenment in order to become an emperor.
However, the imperial throne is unique; whoever proves it first will have their path to the throne blocked.
Simply put, all those who are about to attain enlightenment can be seen as each other's greatest enemies!
Originally, Cao Ya was thought to be an ordinary quasi-emperor, and the Blue Gold Emperor Tower wanted to subdue him and make him a divine general under its command.
But now that he has sensed Cao Ya's true power, the master of the Blue Gold Emperor Tower feels a great sense of crisis and his killing intent is intense.
At the same time, he felt that he had found the reason why the person in front of him wanted to erase the cosmic fragments of gold.
"So that's why you wanted to extinguish the cosmic gold fragments I stirred up. It turns out you were afraid I would gain a great deal from it and find the path to becoming an emperor, thus proving the Dao before you! Ha, what a clever scheme. Unfortunately, you've misunderstood, and..." The master of the Blue Gold Emperor Tower said coldly, then sneered, "You can't stop me from doing what I want! You alone can't stop my power!"
Cao Ya was speechless.
This guy has an incredibly vivid imagination!
He simply didn't want to see billions of stars shattered under such a cosmic catastrophe as the Cosmic Gold Flow, so he intervened to stop it. What does this guy have to do with it?!
He only realized the connection between the Blue Gold Emperor Tower and the Cosmic Gold Stream after the Blue Gold Emperor Tower appeared.
His murderous intent arose from this.
Relying on his own strength, his combat power is comparable to that of a Daoist who is about to attain enlightenment. However, his cultivation level is only that of a sixth-level Immortal Saint, not even a Quasi-Emperor. So, how could he possibly have the opportunity to become an Emperor?
Even if it's right in front of him, he can't catch it!
How can one who is not destined to attain enlightenment hope to prove it?
In fact, although quasi-emperors have the title of "emperor" and possess a portion of the divine power of an emperor, which is immeasurable, ordinary quasi-emperors—that is, those below the seventh level of heaven—have virtually no chance of becoming emperors.
Quasi-Emperors above the seventh level are infinitely close to the realm of Great Emperors, and only then do they have the possibility of attaining the Dao.
Of course, if you can't become an emperor, you can choose to become an unconventional enlightened being.
However, among the hundreds of millions of cultivators in this world, probably 99% of them, if they really reach the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor Realm or above, would probably still dream of the Emperor's Path Fruit!
"As someone who is about to attain enlightenment, you are qualified to be my enemy. State your name, for I never kill nameless nobodies!" the master of the Blue Gold Imperial Tower shouted.
"You are... the Divine Court Emperor?!" At this moment, Cao Ya finally remembered some relevant information about the Blue Gold Emperor Tower and recognized the person behind it all.
"As expected, you know of my existence." But this undoubtedly caused the Divine Court Emperor to misunderstand again, thinking that Cao Ya had come specifically to oppose him and thwart his ambition to become Emperor.
"You have such a vicious heart!" the Divine Court Emperor roared.
However, he was quite serious about it.
A cultivator with such deep cunning and scheming will surely be a great enemy on his path to becoming emperor!
"???" Cao Ya really wanted to ask, "What the hell are you talking about?!"
Am I wicked?
Compared to you, the Divine Court Emperor, Cao Ya thought, he was at least 89,000 miles behind!
"I am the Emperor of the Divine Court, the one who will attain enlightenment in this world. The position of the Great Emperor of this world will surely belong to me!" The Emperor of the Divine Court seemed to speak with divine authority, as if his words were destined to come true.
"Nonsense." Cao Ya curled his lip. If you want to become an emperor, have you asked that old golden crow bird?
In the original timeline, the Emperor's title in this life belonged to the Golden Crow Emperor, but he was overshadowed by Ye Fan, who possessed the Great Accomplished Sacred Body.
Later, Ye Fan also forcibly became an emperor, turning the impossible into possible, and became the strongest holy body in history!
These two are the ones destined to become emperors.
Besides, Cao Ya thought to himself, he had already reached the fifth minor step of the Six Great Saints of Immortals, was not old, and had an infinite lifespan waiting for him. As long as he resolved the dark turmoil when the Immortal Path opened, he could cultivate slowly.
He refused to believe that he had no hope of becoming emperor!
However, before that, he had to deal with the Divine Court Emperor in front of him.
In the original timeline, the Emperor also appeared as someone who was about to attain enlightenment, but first his Blue Gold Emperor Tower was destroyed in the Big Dipper Forbidden Zone, and then he died under the knife of the woodcutter from the Dao Palace in a head-on confrontation.
In other words, although this Divine Court Emperor seems to be just one step away from becoming an Emperor, he actually still has a long way to go.
At least the old woodcutter will definitely go further than the Divine Court Emperor.
Thinking of this, Cao Ya suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at the blue-gold imperial tower.
"What are you looking at?" The Divine Court Emperor's voice was cold and detached.
For some reason, the gaze of the mysterious person about to attain enlightenment before him made him very uncomfortable.
Cao Ya touched his chin and suddenly laughed.
Since the Blue Gold Emperor Tower was going to be destroyed by the ancient supreme beings anyway, he might as well take it over and forge it into his own weapon for achieving enlightenment!
That's perfect, it saves him the trouble of searching the entire universe for divine materials and immortal gold.
