"Boom..."
The Great Rift of the Immortal Realm has replaced the old Flying Immortal Star. It is tens of millions of miles long and wide, with divine light surging and bursting forth with billions of auspicious colors. The rain of light falls endlessly.
Cao Ya walked along the road, sword in his right hand, with two shrunken imperial weapons hanging from his hair. Extreme Dao aura flowed, stabilizing the heavens.
Looking at the scenery along the way, Cao Ya exclaimed, "The six supreme beings joining forces are truly invincible. There have been many crises along the way. Even a single emperor could have perished, but they were all defeated, sweeping through the immortal realms and shattering everything!"
Ye Fan nodded.
The combined power of multiple supreme beings is indeed terrifying!
Such supreme beings, even a single one, would be enough to make anyone dare to ignore them, let alone six of them!
The two advanced quickly, with the six supreme beings clearing the way, so there was no need to worry. So far, apart from their initial confrontation with the ancient emperor, they had not yet made a move.
On the contrary, the group of ancient emperors, after making multiple attacks, exhausted their energy and their blood and qi became increasingly weak, which was exactly what Cao Ya wanted.
Why rush when you have a better chance of winning?
The battlefield is located on the Immortal Path, where there are no living beings, so there is no need to worry about it affecting or harming innocent people. Moreover, the races on the old Flying Immortal Star all migrated away hundreds of years ago.
In short, Cao Ya can wait!
He only needed to be careful not to let any ancient emperor actually enter the Immortal Realm and achieve his goal in one fell swoop.
"This time, with precautions in place, the Emperor's backup plan had little effect. The Ascension Cauldron did not appear, and without such a powerful tool, even though the six Venerables are strong and this is a path to survival, it is not an easy task to truly reach the end and attempt to leap into the Immortal Realm!"
Cao Ya chuckled inwardly. His move not only protected the Divine Child but also put even greater pressure on the emperors.
Moreover, the emperors were completely unaware of this.
They might even think that Cao Ya's actions helped them by severing the Emperor's legacy from millions of years ago, indirectly... no, directly helping them kill the Emperor's phantom, thus saving some mana and allowing them to reach the depths of the Immortal Realm's Great Rift more quickly.
Perhaps they were still secretly mocking Cao Ya.
In reality, only Cao Ya himself knew the consequences of his actions.
This is definitely not a good thing for the emperors!
Ye Fan suddenly frowned, looking quite puzzled.
"Supreme Cao Ya, why is he suddenly so happy?! Is there anything to be happy about? I have no idea..."
To be honest, Ye Fan was a little confused.
With the six powerful figures rampaging, he was extremely serious, as if facing a formidable enemy, and his mind was taut.
Therefore, when Ye Fan noticed the hint of joy in Cao Ya's expression, he was completely puzzled and bewildered.
However, Ye Fan was aware of Cao Ya's position and trusted him completely, so he had no doubts.
He wouldn't even ask!
Having dealt with Cao Ya Supreme so many times, Ye Fan had long understood one thing: if Cao Ya Supreme was willing to talk, he would tell the whole story in great detail, even if Ye Fan didn't want to hear it. But if Cao Ya Supreme was unwilling to speak... no matter how you pleaded or forced him, it would be useless!
In fact, no one in the entire universe can force Cao Ya to act in this day and age.
"The barriers on the path to immortality have all been breached," Ye Fan suddenly sighed.
Cao Ya looked and saw that a majestic pass that stood between heaven and earth had been breached. The broken walls and ruins, the already incomplete laws of the immortal realm, were even more incomplete. There were countless corpses. Although it was an evolution of the laws, it looked just like the real thing. Blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains.
"The Immortal Realm today is incomparable to that of the chaotic ancient times," Cao Ya said softly.
Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he asked, "Supreme Cao Ya, does the Chaotic Ancient Inheritance you obtained contain any records of the specific circumstances of that era? Earlier, when that prehistoric creature died, it mentioned... something about immortal families and other realms. What are those things?"
Cao Ya chuckled and said, "Things? You're right! Immortal families and foreign lands, that's one thing!"
Ye Fan was slightly taken aback, then his face showed surprise.
Judging from Cao Ya's words, the foreign lands and the immortal family don't seem like anything good.
“It’s complicated to explain in detail, just think of it as the supreme being of the forbidden zone,” Cao Ya said.
He thought to himself, "The alien invasion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is extremely vicious and cruel, slaughtering all living beings. In the eyes of all spirits in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, what difference is there between them and the current Dark Sovereign?"
The immortal families are not even as good as the ancient royal families!
The existence of the forbidden zone is closely related to many ancient royal families, and it was even created by a certain ancient emperor!
The Changsheng family... to say they have any connection with the Immortal Realm, after going around in circles, they could barely make a connection.
But if we're talking about foreign lands...
Absolutely not!
However, most of them secretly collude with other realms, sell intelligence, act as guides, and make ample preparations for the future after the other realms conquer the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so as to maintain their superior status, rule over a region, exploit ordinary people and hundreds of millions of living beings, and monopolize various cultivation resources.
Such behavior is despicable and deserves only endless condemnation.
Traitorous act!
"Understood." Ye Fan and Cao Ya stepped over the broken pass together, and Ye Fan immediately felt an urge to ascend to immortality, as if he were really about to become a god.
"Such a strong ethereal aura..."
Ye Fan closed his eyes, spread his divine sense, and sensed for a while before opening them again, his eyes filled with surprise.
"The longevity substances here are even more abundant than those in the most spiritually rich places in the universe!"
"If cultivators lived here, their lifespan would definitely be two or three times longer than that of those outside!"
"Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns can probably live for twenty or thirty thousand years in a single lifetime!"
Ye Fan sighed in amazement. The Immortal Realm was indeed wondrous. Even though it was just a passage with a slight leakage of immortal energy, it was already so extraordinary.
Cao Ya wasn't as deeply moved as Ye Fan.
The main point is that he has no worries about his lifespan at all!
Whether the longevity substance is concentrated or not makes no difference to him.
Of course, Cao Ya also understood that the environment of the Immortal Realm was more suitable for people to live in, and also more suitable for cultivators.
Of all living beings in the world, including Cao Ya, who doesn't fear death and cherish life?
"Unfortunately, the Immortal Realm is flawed. The world's natural processes have severed the passage to the mortal realm. Only occasionally, every few hundred thousand years, will one or two Immortal Paths appear."
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. In the chaotic ancient era, the Immortal Realm was incredibly prosperous. There were Immortal Kings who ruled the world, True Immortals who roamed freely, and all kinds of supreme beings who emerged one after another. It could be said that there were strong people like clouds and experts like rain.
The Immortal Realm is now in decline, its Great Dao is damaged, and it is far inferior to even the martial power of the mortal universe.
Any supreme being who goes there can become an invincible super power for billions of years!
"But if you want to go there and actually settle in the Immortal Realm... hey, that's no easy task."
"If it's not the right time, the right place... and you want to force your way in... you'll need extremely strong martial power! Conservatively speaking, one Mortal Immortal isn't enough; you'll need at least four!"
"But right now is the right time and the right place, and the six supreme beings also meet the requirements in terms of power."
Cao Ya crossed the majestic pass and saw a rain of light dancing in the air. Deep within the immortal path, ghosts wailed and gods howled, countless demonic shadows fell, millions of gods and Buddhas perished, and hundreds of thousands of immortal spirits died suddenly. Under the attack of the emperors, they were all reduced to dust.
Before seeing the Immortal Realm with their own eyes, the six ancient emperors would not turn against them.
Whether the number of spots for becoming an immortal is limited is currently unknown. After analyzing the pros and cons, the best option at present is to form an alliance and fight the enemy together!
Therefore, Cao Ya and Ye Fan did not follow too closely, keeping a distance to avoid provoking the emperors.
If we really have to fight, we should wait until their bodies are increasingly decayed and their spirits are weakened before we can have a greater chance of winning against six opponents.
Beyond the majestic pass, after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, an ancient cave bursting forth with chaotic mist appeared, beside which stood a portal imbued with profound meaning of reincarnation, seemingly connecting the celestial realm and the mortal world, capable of enabling the reincarnation of all beings.
But everyone knows it's all an illusion.
In this universe, there is no such thing as reincarnation!
Only similar flowers!
"Splash splash~~~"
Besides the chaotic energy, a massive amount of immortal mist emerged, and behind the Chaos Cave and the Gate of Reincarnation, a vast world that seemed to have attained immortality appeared faintly, hazy and indistinct, yet attracting everyone's attention and shining brightly.
"The Immortal Realm is right before our eyes!" The Myriad Dragon Emperor roared, holding the Myriad Dragon Bell, his purple-gold light bursting forth as he charged forward, shattering the Gate of Reincarnation and piercing through the Chaos Cave!
The ancient emperor's ferocity was unparalleled, both in heaven and on earth!
"kill!
!
The Beast God, the White Tiger Taoist, and others were also unwilling to fall behind and rushed forward—they were also worried that there weren't many spots available and that others would snatch them up.
"Bang!"
The hazy phantom of the Immortal Realm was blasted apart in an instant by the power of the emperors. No matter what you tried to stop it, it was useless. The six supreme beings joined forces and were invincible, sweeping away all obstacles and suppressing all directions!
"Those two people were actually following..." Wanlonghuang's expression was cold, exuding a chilling aura that penetrated to the bone.
The Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island said indifferently, "The Immortal Path is unpredictable. No one can say for sure what we will encounter next. I will not waste my power to help you kill the current Supreme Being. If we conquer the Immortal Path, then we are allies for the time being—we will decide later depending on the situation—humph, whoever wants to leave is free to do so."
After the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island finished speaking, he took the lead and passed through the chaotic storm formed after the Immortal Realm's illusory image collapsed, quickly disappearing without a trace.
"Damn it." The Dragon Emperor, the Beast God, and the White Tiger Daoist frowned. Helpless, they had no choice but to follow, putting aside their hatred for the time being and settling it down after they ascended to immortality.
The Immortal Tomb Supreme and the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor were also quite indifferent, drawing an eternal light that pierced through the mists of the Immortal Realm.
"That supreme being who emerged from the heavens has given us an opportunity," Ye Fan said with a smile. "When the time comes, I will give him a quick death!"
Cao Ya gave a thumbs up: "A true man knows right from wrong, a real man!"
He passed by the shattered Chaos Cave and through the blasted Gate of Reincarnation. Cao Ya raised an eyebrow and swept his magic power to suppress the chaotic energy storm.
Even the real immortal realm wasn't as terrifying as it was in ancient times, let alone this incomparably large phantom.
Of course, this only applies to Emperor-level beings.
Even if it were a Great Sage or a Quasi-Emperor, they would struggle to break through, and if they were not careful, they would be completely destroyed!
Because Cao Ya and Ye Fan maintained a sufficiently safe distance, the six supreme beings, despite their apprehension, could not attack them.
He was worried that he would be entangled and give others a chance to ascend to immortality, making it impossible for him to compete for it; he was also worried that others would leave him behind and not turn back, leaving him to face two powerful figures alone, in which case his chances of survival would be slim.
Even though they appear to be allies, they actually harbor ulterior motives and treat each other as adversaries.
Cao Ya and Ye Fan completely trust each other, and there is no such chain of suspicion between them.
The six Venerables also understood that as long as they reached the end, it truly would lead to the Immortal Realm...
Once you successfully step into the Immortal Realm, receive the baptism of immortal energy, and are infused with longevity substances, you can prolong your life, restore your peak condition, and maintain that peak state indefinitely without having to sever your own Dao Fruit...
So what if two contemporary supreme beings join forces? They can still be killed!
Because of this consideration, the six Venerables forged ahead, breaking through various barriers and shattering the laws that had evolved. Various divine beasts, such as the True Dragon, Phoenix, and White Tiger, were also destroyed. The essence of heaven and earth dissipated, solidifying the path to immortality. Even the fierce battle between the Supreme Beings could not shake it.
Emperor Wanlong, Daoist Baihu, and the founder of Blood Phoenix Mountain showed no mercy whatsoever.
They have already abandoned their children and relatives, so why would they care about so-called kinship?
Furthermore, those are not true dragons, phoenixes, or white tigers, so how can they be considered to be of the same kind!
Behind him, Cao Ya suddenly stopped, squinted, and stared thoughtfully into the depths of the Immortal Realm rift.
"That's... the second stone tablet?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
"when!
!
With a loud bang, the Wanlong Bell struck a huge stone tablet, which was very ancient and exuded an aura of vicissitudes, as if it had undergone the baptism of time and survived hundreds of millions of years.
The supreme beings stopped what they were doing and examined the giant stele.
"Who erected this monument here?" Ye Fan murmured. The giant monument was clearly not formed by nature, as it had inscriptions on it, indicating that it was the work of some powerful figure.
The inscription on the stone tablet was very ancient, and its script differed greatly from that of the Primordial Era, the Ancient Era, and the Mythological Era. The powerful figures could not decipher it and did not know what it said.
Only Cao Ya's gaze narrowed slightly, carefully...
“The ancient and chaotic script…is it a remnant of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?” Cao Ya thought to himself. The inscription on the stele meant that this road leads directly to the Immortal Realm, but the world has changed drastically. Even though it is a path to survival, it is very difficult to leave the mortal realm and go to the Immortal Realm. Many conditions must be met, otherwise it will be difficult to cross the mortal realm and overcome many obstacles.
It includes both information and warnings.
He also expressed his hopes that future generations would become powerful and would not need to go to the Immortal Realm. Instead, they could become immortals in the mortal world and create their own sixth secret realm above the five great secret realms of the Sea of Wheels, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform. In the end, they would complete the mortal immortal path, prove the ultimate Dao, and become quasi-immortal kings!
The future looks even brighter!
"I hope to become his fellow Daoist..."
Cao Ya sighed and saw a mark at the bottom of the stone tablet. It was a tower, imprinted there, with a unique fluctuation emanating from it, like a celestial bell, and also like a complete green cauldron.
"The master of the Desolate Tower—the Desolate Heavenly Emperor! The first emperor in history!"
The supreme rulers held their breath.
Even though they were all powerful figures who held supreme positions in the Dao, they still felt a sense of reverence for the Desolate Emperor.
He pioneered the secret realm system, and the Desolate Heaven Emperor can be called the Dao Ancestor of this realm. He has been instrumental in passing on his teachings to countless cultivators.
"Perhaps, the Desolate Heaven Emperor can be compared to the Emperor Venerable," the Supreme Being of Burial Heaven Island said softly.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya chuckled.
Ye Fan was surprised, his eyes flickered slightly.
“The Emperor is very powerful, much stronger than us now. But the Desolate Emperor… his abilities are beyond description, almost beyond the realm of words. Even imagination cannot fully grasp the power of the Desolate Emperor,” Cao Ya said.
In the timeline of the [Covering the Sky] universe, Shi Hao was already the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, having attained the seven-star Immortal Emperor status. He had mastered the Transformation of Freedom Technique and possessed all sorts of mysterious abilities that were unfathomable and unpredictable.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan seemed to understand something.
After a moment of surprise and doubt, the supreme beings did not hesitate and forcefully broke through the stone tablet.
This is not a celestial realm!
That is not the destination.
"boom!
"
Suddenly, a burst of radiant light erupted, enveloping the entire immortal path. A ethereal aura permeated the air, and the emperors were invigorated, their eyes revealing joy.
Could it be that we've already approached the Immortal Realm?!
Cao Ya and Ye Fan behind them quickened their pace, covering hundreds of thousands of miles in a flash.
Although the crack in the outside world, which spans millions of miles, is very long, it can be crossed in the blink of an eye by a supreme being's speed. Logically, it shouldn't take such a long time to travel through it.
However, this is the Immortal Path, which is independent of the mortal universe and has not yet entered the Immortal Realm. It lies between the two realms. Therefore, even though the Venerables have traveled hundreds of millions of miles, they have still not left the scope of the Immortal Path.
"Boom!"
!
Just then, outside the Immortal Path, thunder roared, heavenly tribulations rose, and the aura of a Quasi-Emperor flowed, illuminating the vast sky.
"A bunch of insects, they certainly know how to seize opportunities." The emperors paused briefly, their faces cold.
Cao Ya and Ye Fan exchanged a glance and chuckled.
They, however, believed that there was nothing wrong with the decision made by the heroes of the world.
If we don't seize this opportunity to overcome the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, what are we waiting for?
Waiting to be food for the Supreme Being?!
