"Sigh, I couldn't hold back, and I ended up destroying quite a few good things." Cao Ya sighed softly.
With over twenty powerful cultivators and forbidden magical artifacts at their disposal, he had many tricks up his sleeve. Even though his combat strength had soared, he still hadn't reached the level of a Celestial King giant. He couldn't be fearless and had no choice but to fight with all his might to eliminate his enemies before considering anything else!
"I've got this sorted out. As for Number Nine..." Cao Ya turned around, took a step, and was instantly transported hundreds of millions of miles away, very close to the battlefield of Number Nine, Martial Madman, and Great Cultivator Guangyan.
Instantly, the expressions of the Martial Madman, the Great Cultivator of Light Flame, and others changed drastically, and a chill ran down their spines, as if some ancient beast was watching them.
The four were very clear that Cao Ya's ability to kill more than twenty experts from the mortal realm on his own proved that his strength was unprecedented. Even though the history of the mortal realm was long, there would definitely be a chapter about Cao Ya in the ancient history, and it would be a long and detailed one!
Most importantly, there are only four of them; how could they possibly withstand Cao Ya?
"Cao Ya, you're wasting their time! You should have kept their thighs and eaten them raw; that would have been much more nutritious than roasting them!" Number Nine laughed heartily, quite pleased.
He never expected that Cao Ya's strength was so terrifying, surpassing Yu Jiu and having already broken through to become a king!
"I don't like this kind of thing." Cao Ya pouted. For cultivators with high levels of cultivation, they can actually abstain from grains. All kinds of eating are more for absorbing energy for cultivation, or to replenish their own consumption, or simply for the sake of the delicious food.
Cao Ya was the last type of person, so he politely declined to eat raw food like Number Nine.
After Cao Ya joined the battle, the four people, including Wu Fengzi and Guangyan Daxiu, were quickly killed and died in the outer realm.
On the earth, countless people stood there stunned, then their expressions changed, revealing fear and unease.
Especially those who died in the outer realms, belonging to powerful forces such as the Martial Madman lineage, Xingyutian, Jimieling, Chaos Abyss, Four Tribulations Sparrow, Yihuang Mo Family, Yuan Clan, and Soul Light Cave, these evolved beings who should have looked down on the mortal world and been high above all others, all felt their hearts clench at this moment, as if they were about to suffocate.
Outside the First Mountain in Xia Prefecture, people from all related factions were driven mad.
That Cao Ya is far too terrifying. He can single-handedly defeat dozens of powerful cultivators?!
What followed was endless fear. The arrogant geniuses of the forbidden zones and the prodigies of the powerful clans who had been so arrogant just moments before were now trembling and pale-faced, afraid that Cao Ya could wipe them all out with a single glance!
"Haha!" Chu Feng laughed, looking down on all sides. Now, as the successor of the First Mountain, he could walk in the mortal world without any trouble or trouble.
Senior Cao Ya's name resounds throughout the mortal world, and he is respected by all!
Chu Feng was also extremely shocked, because Cao Ya's performance was simply too incredible!
“However, now that the Martial Madman is dead, what about the Supreme Martial Venerable…” Chu Feng pondered, his eyes hardening.
The encounter with the Lesser Underworld, the loss of relatives and friends, and being killed by the Supreme Martial Venerable—this is a blood feud, and Chu Feng will not be at peace until his death if he does not take revenge!
Chu Feng had no intention of asking Master No. 9 or Senior Cao Ya for help. This was his grudge, and he had to take revenge himself!
The Martial Madman was the grandmaster of Taiwu Tianzun. He was killed because he attacked the First Mountain.
"Hehe, without the Martial Maniac, a Yuji Realm expert, to hold the reins, his lineage is destined to decline. He'll definitely have to give up a lot of the vast territories and resources he's occupied! Otherwise, even his inheritance won't be safe!"
"That old bastard Taiwu Tianzun must have a lot of headaches too. Perfect, I'll create some more for him. If a good opportunity arises, I'll use the Lesser Yin Realm Dao Fruit of the Hengwang Realm to kill him directly!"
Chu Feng pondered that his mortal body was only a Great Sage, capable of fighting gods and even generals, but he would be far inferior to a Heavenly Venerable. Only by using his Lesser Yin Realm Dao Fruit could he succeed.
However, the Lesser Yin Realm Dao Fruit is too conspicuous when traveling in the mortal realm, so Chu Feng tries to avoid using it.
Moreover, Chu Feng also knew that among the lineage of the Martial Madman, Yu Jiu only had him, and there were no Da Yu or Jiu Ji. However, there must be quite a few powerful beings in the Hunyuan Realm. As far as he knew, the master of Taiwu Tianzun was Hunyuan!
"The King of Heng can fight ordinary Heavenly Venerables and Supreme Heavenly Venerables, but he is no match for a Great Heavenly Venerable. As for the Primordial Chaos Venerable, who is above the Heavenly Venerable level, he is even more of a threat. We must not be careless and must act with caution!"
Chu Feng thought to himself, having already made up his mind to cause trouble for Taiwu Tianzun and find an opportunity to kill him!
"Senior Cao Ya, you are truly amazing!" Yu Shang Tianzun, Liu Er Mihou, and others were all amazed.
Such a great figure who breaks through to become a king has not appeared in the mortal realm for tens of thousands of years.
Senior Cao Ya is destined to shake an ancient history; he is one of the most powerful beings in the mortal world!
"It's over! It's over! Everything is over!"
Qi Rong Heavenly Venerable, Silver Dragon Heavenly Venerable, and the geniuses of major forces such as the Four Tribulations Sparrow, Chaos Abyss, Silent Extinction Ridge, Star Feather Heaven, Yuan Clan, and the Yihuang Mo Family, as well as some related forces such as the Nine-Headed Bird Clan, were all terrified!
Without major repairs and without a solid foundation, their forces are likely to decline and be gradually devoured by surrounding forces, who will seize their resources and territory!
The thought of falling from the clouds and rolling into the dust made them extremely uncomfortable!
"Whoosh!"
"!" Cao Ya and Number Nine returned from beyond the realm, fell into the mortal world, and returned to Xiazhou. However, they suddenly stopped and looked into the distance at the many forbidden zones, famous mountains, and the mountain gates of powerful clans.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
In those places, terrifying energy fluctuations erupted, blood-red energy surged, and rosy clouds billowed, extremely dazzling and brilliant, as if ancient monsters from prehistoric times were undergoing a complete resurrection!
Number Nine sneered: "These places certainly have deep foundations. A batch of people just died, but a new batch of Great Universe, Ultimate, and Universe Ultimate realm cultivators are still emerging!"
Cao Ya shook his head. The death of one or two great cultivators in such forbidden areas and famous mountains would indeed have an impact, but it wouldn't fundamentally damage them. Having existed for countless years, exceeding an era, how could such a powerful force's trump card be comparable to that of ordinary major sects and clans in the mortal realm?
Even the top ten or top five powerful clans in the mortal realm are extremely cautious when facing forbidden mountains, never daring to be careless or negligent.
Number Nine sighed, "That's true. Who knows if there are a few immortal kings in their slumber?"
“There should be a Celestial King among them,” Cao Ya said softly. Looking around the mortal realm, he analyzed the surging aura emanating from those dozens of mystical places. Most of them were at the Great Universe or Ultimate level, with a few at the Ultimate Universe level. However, Cao Ya’s divine sense was sharp, and he discovered that beneath those dozens of powerful auras lay a deep and abyss-like royal aura!
That's normal. Forbidden zones, famous mountains, and top powerful clans in the mortal realm have been passed down for centuries. If there were no Immortal Kings among the sects, how could they survive one cataclysmic calamity after another?
"However, their condition is probably not too good. In this era, apart from that super strong person who appeared out of nowhere in the first year of the Heavenly Emperor's Calendar, there are no other great cultivators who have achieved the highest record of becoming a King. The highest record is only the Universe Realm! Therefore, such characters must be great masters from prehistoric times!"
"Although the Immortal King is strong, he is not the ultimate evolver, nor is he the supreme being or quasi-Immortal Emperor of all the heavens. No matter how long his lifespan is, it will eventually come to an end. Even if he does not die in the battle, he may perish in the great calamity of the destruction of an era!"
"They've survived countless cataclysms; how could they possibly be in perfect condition, completely unharmed?!"
Cao Ya analyzed, yet remained fearless, unleashing an overwhelming aura that stirred the void, causing the Great Dao to wail as if crushing countless ages.
He single-handedly held his own against dozens of people, and even gained the upper hand!
Immediately, the newly emerged group of powerful cultivators became extremely cautious. The battle outside the domain was still vivid in their minds. Cao Ya's strength was no longer confined to the Yu Jiu territory; he was comparable to a king!
They no longer sought Cao Ya's weaknesses. It seemed that unless the ancestor of the King Realm truly recovered in full, Cao Ya could sweep through all the forbidden zones, famous mountains, and powerful clans without any pressure!
"Boom!" From a great distance, they unleashed all sorts of supernatural powers, sweeping across the mortal realm and heading towards Xiazhou, yet without affecting any mountains or rivers. Their momentum was immense and eye-catching, but they did not recklessly unleash their power.
They merely used their magical power to enter Xia Prefecture, taking away all the forbidden talents, disciples of famous mountains, and members of powerful clans, and leading them away from the dangerous First Mountain of Xia Prefecture!
However, their power paused for a moment during this process, their divine senses locked onto Chu Feng, as if they had the idea of killing the successor of the First Mountain.
But Number Nine gave a cold snort, and they, wary, had no choice but to give up and retreat quickly.
"Buzz..."
The so-called forbidden zones and famous mountains instantly withdrew all their magical power and became low-key.
The millions of cultivators who remained in the arena looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that the mortal realm was about to change!
The First Mountain will reclaim its throne as the number one in the mortal realm, and no matter how powerful you are, you must bow down!
Although the First Mountain has almost never paid attention to the affairs of the mortal world since ancient times.
Many young cultivators looked at Chu Feng with envy. This guy was really lucky to become the successor of the First Mountain. Now he had a powerful backer, even more powerful than the geniuses of the forbidden zones!
Many people were also watching Cao Ya and No. 9 with bated breath, hoping that the two would take on more disciples.
"Senior Cao Ya, Senior No. 9, please accept me as your disciple..."
Countless people crowded around, and if they could become disciples of these two, they could roam freely throughout the entire mortal realm!
There is even greater hope that one can attain the status of Celestial Venerable, Primordial Chaos, or even touch the threshold of the Great Universe and the Ultimate!
"Do you want to take on apprentices?" Cao Ya asked with a smile, but he had no such intention at all.
Number Nine shook his head. Chu Feng was only taken as a disciple by chance, so he had no intention of teaching other cultivators.
Number Nine may seem to be a deep and mysterious figure, but in reality, if he truly agrees to take on a disciple, he will do his utmost to ensure that the disciple is not misled.
"Troublesome. It's most comfortable to stay inside the mountain." Number Nine muttered, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the First Mountain. The crowd watched, letting out regretful sighs, looking disappointed.
At the same time, Number Nine transmitted a message to Chu Feng, urging him to venture into the mortal realm and increase his cultivation as soon as possible. He said that the cultivation of a Great Sage was too weak, and in the future great changes in the mortal realm, the Heavenly Venerable and the Primordial Chaos would probably be cannon fodder!
In this battle, Number Nine became increasingly clear that the Strange Clan had always been eyeing the mortal realm, and that they might launch a large-scale invasion at any time!
In that kind of war, let alone Hunyuan and Tianzun, even Dayu and Jiuji, and even Yujiu, are extremely fragile and could perish at any time. Only when they reach the Immortal King realm can they be considered to have the initial ability to influence local battlefields!
To influence the course of the entire battle, one would need to be a supreme quasi-immortal emperor!
Unlike Number Nine, Cao Ya did not enter the First Mountain again. His own cultivation had reached the Yuji Realm. The subsequent breakthrough to become a King was difficult to achieve through hard work alone. He needed to travel in the mortal world, observe the laws of heaven and earth, and seek inspiration.
He glanced at Chu Feng, Yu Shang Tianzun, Liu Er Mihou, and others, his eyes flashing slightly, before fleeing into the distance.
The Six-Eared Macaques are actually descendants of the Holy Prince. Although they are not among the top powerful clans in the mortal realm, they are still very strong, renowned throughout the world, and enjoy a high reputation and excellent circumstances.
Yu Shang Tianzun is a descendant of Ye Fan. He was forced by the Yuan Clan to extort the Heavenly Emperor's Mark, for which nearly all his relatives and friends were killed. However, the Yuan Clan's top cultivators have already been killed by Cao Ya. At most, only Tianzun and Hunyuan remain. If Yu Shang Tianzun is cautious, he should be able to protect himself without much trouble.
Moreover, with the loss of the Great Cultivator, their strength has been greatly diminished, and the Yuan Clan's sphere of influence will inevitably shrink. It is wishful thinking to think that a few Hunyuan and Tianzun can suppress so many forces!
It's possible that some Primordial Chaos beings, or even Celestial Venerables, are coveting the Yuan Clan's secret treasures and are waiting for an opportunity to act.
The Yuan Clan absolutely does not have the extra energy to pay attention to Yu Shang Tianzun anymore.
The Yuan tribe is not weak, but it definitely does not have the profound heritage of the forbidden mountains, nor can it compare to the top ten tribes in the mortal world!
As for actively resolving the issue with the Yuan tribe...
Chu Feng observed the Heavenly Emperor's Mark from Yu Shang Tianzun. In a sense, Chu Feng is the successor. In addition, he has an extraordinary relationship with Yao Yao, a descendant of Yu Shang Tianzun. Therefore, this matter of revenge and vengeance should be left to Chu Feng. He can settle accounts with the Yuan Clan, Taiwu Tianzun, and others when he grows up!
Cao Ya left Xiazhou and did not go to the battlefield of the three hegemons. He was not interested in unification and was too lazy to get involved.
He doesn't think highly of any of the current three overlords; none of them are even Immortal Kings, yet they still want to unify the country.
Ordinary Immortal Kings and even top-tier Immortal Kings don't have this qualification. Only giants have a chance to unify the mortal realm and rely on the destiny of the mortal realm to break through the king and become an emperor!
Cao Ya wasn't opposed to this kind of promotion, but it certainly didn't align with his career path.
The three overlords, upon discovering Cao Ya's escape light, simply watched him go without offering any invitations or forming alliances.
Cao Ya is already at the King Realm level. If they really form an alliance, who will be in charge?
The mortal realm is vast, with an expansive area and a very stable space. Looking across all the heavens, it is a first-class great world!
Hundreds of thousands of years later, Cao Ya walks into the mortal world again, but his feelings are completely different.
"In the past, the highest I reached was the Hengyuan Realm. Although I could fight against ordinary Great Universe and Ultimate Realm cultivators, I never transcended the human realm and advanced to the Immortal Realm. I had to be careful many times to avoid bringing trouble upon myself!"
"Now, I have the combat power of an ordinary Immortal King. No matter what danger I am in, I can easily defeat it. Even if a prehistoric master in the mortal realm were to resurrect, I would not be completely powerless to resist."
To avoid being disturbed, Cao Ya did not reveal his true face. After all, his previous battle had shocked the world, and countless evolved beings admired him highly, eager to become his disciples and learn the most powerful techniques!
A powerful figure comparable to a Celestial King would deliberately conceal himself; who could possibly discover him? Even Yu Jiu would fall short.
