On the other side, after leaving the Tai Ling Continent, the two Cao Ya crossed a vast sea.
stop!
Suddenly, the two stopped, their eyes flickering slightly.
"Come out," Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] said lazily.
[Martial Universe] Cao Ya looked leisurely towards the west, where he saw the void in chaos, with streams of spiritual energy spreading out, eventually tearing through the void to form a spatial passage.
Ta-da~~
Footsteps sounded.
A burly figure quickly stepped out of the spatial passage, and an overwhelming pressure followed.
A shockwave shook the world!
"Qin Tian of Daqian Palace greets the two Fellow Daoists Cao Ya." The newcomer cupped his hands in greeting.
The two Cao Yas also clasped their hands in a fist salute.
They stared at Qin Tian, a strange look in their eyes.
It was a figure like a towering pillar, surrounded by starlight, and its robes seemed to be engraved with mountains and rivers, shining brightly.
His eyes shone like stars and were as deep as abyss. Just by standing there, he exuded a special aura, as if supporting the heavens and the earth, like an ancient divine mountain, which was truly awe-inspiring.
Looking at the two Cao Yas, Qin Tian pondered for a moment, as if considering how to start the conversation.
He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so he wouldn't waste his efforts.
He had his reasons for intercepting Cao Ya.
"Great Thousand Palace, Slay the Demon King, Qin Tian."
Cao Ya stroked his chin.
This Demon Slayer King is indeed a prodigy, having cultivated to the late stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme realm, making him incomparably powerful.
In this vast world, apart from the deceased Immortal Emperor, and the extremely special Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, this person, along with the Undying Lord, the Green-Robed Sword Saint, the True Dragon Emperor, and others, are the most powerful!
The leaders of the five ancient clans—Futu Xuan, Qingyan Jing, Mohe Tian, and Taiming Laozu—are all far inferior to Qin Tian.
Furthermore, the power of the Great Thousand Palace far surpasses that of the five ancient clans!
However, Cao Ya knew that there was a hidden danger within this Demon King.
In his youth, Qin Tian led a team on a training expedition, but all his teammates were tragically killed by the evil race from beyond the realm.
Therefore, Qin Tian harbored extreme hatred for the extraterrestrial evil race!
Centuries later, he broke through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm, but unfortunately, he was transported to the Demon Realm by a spacetime storm. That was the territory of the extraterrestrial evil race, which had corrupted half of the Great Thousand World.
Just when everyone thought he was dead, Qin Tian miraculously returned.
He also brought back the remains of the Demon Emperor and became the first Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace since ancient times!
Cao Ya knew that Qin Tian's return that time contained the schemes of the extraterrestrial evil race's Heavenly Demon Emperor.
We must rely on Qin Tian to break the seal on the Heavenly Evil God!
Although, at that time, Xiao Yan sensed something was amiss.
However, since they couldn't investigate further, they could only take precautions by gifting Qin Tian an Emperor Flame Pearl. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, this would serve as a safety net, preventing Qin Tian from becoming completely corrupted and a puppet of his inner demons.
Before the seed of inner demon planted by that inner demon emperor took effect, even the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor could not be certain or accurately grasp the specific situation.
In fact, at this moment, Cao Ya had no way to find the seed of inner demon hidden in Qin Tian's heart.
That Demon Emperor of the Heart is unpredictable and his methods are so mysterious that it's hard to say who would win against any of Cao Ya's opponents.
And this seed of inner demons is its signature skill!
It had been dormant within Qin Tian's soul for hundreds of years!
Unless one reaches the Dominator Realm or is at least a half-step Dominator Realm, there is absolutely no way to detect it.
Heh, there's no rush...
With Xiao Yan's Emperor Flame Pearl, Qin Tian certainly won't be controlled by the Heart Demon Seed and directly fall into demonic possession, becoming a puppet of the Heart Demon Emperor... He'll have time to adjust, to react... and regain his unparalleled prowess in slaying the Demon King...
I can fill his vacancy then...
Keeping it will also be able to confuse the Heart Demon Emperor and the Holy Demon Emperor, misleading them...
The main problem is that I can't find out the existence of the inner demons, and saying so would easily cause misunderstandings...
To probe the soul of another is to place one's own life entirely in the hands of the probe... what if there's some malice involved...?
There's no way Qin Tian would trust me... Xiao Yan probably had the same concerns back then...
What's even more frustrating is that the seeds of inner demons lie deeply hidden; if they can't be found, there's no evidence... making it even easier for people to misunderstand...
I'm not going to do something so thankless and exhausting...
With two more of us at the late-stage Saint rank, it will be much more difficult for the Heavenly Evil God to reappear...
Losing one late-stage Saint-grade Qin Tian isn't a big problem...
After all that, there's one left over...
The two Cao Ya looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.
Why do these two fellow Daoists from Caoya have such strange expressions?
He didn't think much of it, and there was absolutely no way he would connect it to himself.
After all, in Qin Tian's eyes, this was the first time he and Cao Ya had met.
"Fellow Daoist Cao Ya, Qin Tian has come here to discuss something," Qin Tian said.
"Oh, please go ahead." Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] was very cooperative.
“Fellow Daoist Cao Ya, you have caused quite a stir in various places recently. In order to stabilize the order of the Great Thousand World, on behalf of the Great Thousand Palace, I hope you can restrain yourself a bit,” Qin Tian said earnestly.
"The next Great Alliance is coming soon."
"The world is vast and cannot withstand much turmoil."
"The loss of any Heavenly Sovereign is something we cannot afford!"
Qin Tian's expression was serious.
In order to deal with the evil race from beyond the realm, personal grudges must be put aside for the time being.
Furthermore, with the Great Alliance imminent, conflicts between major powers cannot be too intense.
There was no way around it; the extraterrestrial evil race was too powerful. Even in ancient times, the entire Great Thousand World combined its strength, but they still couldn't defeat them.
It only blocked the attack of the evil race.
However, half of its territory was also occupied.
"The Great Alliance?" Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] pondered for a moment.
"At that time, both of you fellow Daoists will surely receive the Grand Thousand Gold Invitation," Qin Tian said.
After a slight pause, Qin Tian explained further:
"In ancient times, the Immortal Emperor fought a decisive battle with the Heavenly Evil God, ending the invasion of the Great Thousand World by the extraterrestrial evil race."
"The result of that decisive battle was that the Heavenly Evil God was sealed in the Northern Wilderness Hill!"
"However, the life force of beings like the Heavenly Evil God is terrifying beyond imagination!"
Even if he is sealed away, he cannot be completely eradicated!
"Therefore, every thousand years since ancient times, the Great Thousand Palace will activate the 'Great Thousand Covenant' and issue the Great Thousand Invitation, inviting the strongest experts in the Great Thousand World to gather at the Northern Wilderness Hill, pool their power, activate the seal, and annihilate the remaining life force of the Heavenly Evil God."
"And only those at the Heavenly Sovereign level are qualified to receive this Great Thousand Scroll."
"Earthly Sovereigns and ordinary Sovereigns, their presence would be of no use."
"It would be better to stay in various places and cooperate with the other half of the Heavenly Sovereign to prevent the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race."
"It's obvious that the extraterrestrial evil race won't just stand by and watch us refine the Heavenly Evil God!"
"Therefore, half of the Heavenly Sovereigns gathered at the Hills of the Northern Wilderness."
"The other half is stationed all over the world!"
"Slay those demon bastards!"
Cao Ya nodded.
The existence of the "Great Thousand Covenant" is for the purpose of annihilating the Heavenly Evil God.
As for the Great Thousand Post, it is divided into three grades: gold, silver, and iron, corresponding to the three realms of the Heavenly Supreme: Spiritual Grade, Immortal Grade, and Saint Grade.
He and Cao Ya from "Battle Through the Heavens" are strong enough, with a formidable record of defeating a Saint-level Heavenly Supreme.
Therefore, Qin Tiancai said that the two of them would receive a wedding invitation from a wealthy young lady.
Both Cao Ya expressed their support for dealing with the Heavenly Evil God.
The existence of extraterrestrial evil races poses an immense threat to humanity and all living beings in the world!
Cao Ya is a human and has a firm stance.
They are also mortal enemies of the extraterrestrial evil race!
However, Cao Ya from "Martial Universe" and Cao Ya from "Battle Through the Heavens" exchanged glances, their eyes flashing.
They knew that the seal of the Heavenly Evil God was a deeply calculated scheme.
In terms of combat power alone, it is impossible for the Immortal Emperor to seal away the Heavenly Evil God.
The Heavenly Evil God intends to take this opportunity to waste tens of thousands of years polluting the Great Thousand World, so that the extraterrestrial evil race can truly occupy this great world!
But no matter what, the achievements of the ancient beings, represented by the Immortal Emperor, will endure forever!
Without their struggle, where would the people of today be?
"Since Fellow Daoist Qin Tian has stepped forward, my gains are about enough. I will no longer visit the Black Heaven Ancient Clan, the Desolate Ancient Clan, the Fire Spirit Clan, and other major forces." Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
With the "Great Thousand Alliance" about to convene, he was genuinely afraid that some major chaos might occur in the Great Thousand World.
These guys fight to the death, but at another time, he wouldn't really care.
The problem is that the existence of the Heavenly Evil God and the extraterrestrial evil race is like a dagger, ready to fall at any moment, aiming at the "neck" of the entire Great Thousand World!
"This time, with two more fellow Daoists at the late stage of Saint rank, our chances of success have increased even more."
After relaxing, Qin Tian felt joy again and smiled:
"The number of the extraterrestrial evil race's Heavenly Demon Emperors is large, but not unlimited."
"There are only a handful of top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors who can rival the late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme."
"The side that has an extra player will have a slightly higher chance of winning."
It was clear that Qin Tian was genuinely happy.
As the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian's perspective encompasses the entire Great Thousand World, not just his own sect's private plans.
Both Cao Ya and Cao Ya admired this greatly.
The Great Thousand Palace is one of the four strongest forces in the Great Thousand World.
Even the Endless Fire Domain, Martial Realm, and Sword Domain are slightly inferior to the Great Thousand Palace.
This is because the existence of the Great Palace is extremely unique.
The top three strongest forces, in a sense, also belong to the Great Thousand Palace.
Because this power encompasses all living beings in the vast world!
The so-called Great Thousand Palace is an alliance of the Great Thousand Worlds!
An alliance formed to resist the evil forces from beyond the realm!
The founder of the Great Thousand Palace was the Immortal Emperor.
In ancient times, when the evil races from beyond the realms appeared and invaded the Great Thousand World, it was the emergence of the Great Thousand Palace that united the forces of the Great Thousand World, so that all living beings would no longer fight individually, but would instead unite as one.
This is why the Great Thousand Palace still exists after the ancient times.
However, on ordinary days, the Daqian Palace is more of a symbol of peace and does not get involved in the conflicts between various forces.
Unless it affects the overall situation!
Most of the time, the Great Thousand Palace focused its energy on fighting against the extraterrestrial evil race and guarding the western border of the Great Thousand World.
The Endless Fire Domain is in the north, the Martial Realm is in the south, and the Sword Domain is in the east.
The four strongest forces suppress the four corners of heaven and earth!
They shouldered the greatest responsibility!
Furthermore, even powerful figures like Emperor Yan, Martial Ancestor, and the Green-Robed Sword Saint retained their positions as elders within the Great Thousand Palace.
All living beings in the world hold the Great Thousand Palace in awe.
I have the utmost respect for you!
The title of "Demon King Slayer" can only be obtained by slaying a Heavenly Demon Emperor.
During the ancient war, many Heavenly Demon Emperors perished, and countless Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand Worlds also died.
Upon closer examination, there were quite a few demon-slaying acts committed back then.
Nearly 50,000 years have passed, and in this peaceful era, the two sides have only engaged in minor skirmishes. Occasionally, the Heavenly Sovereigns would exchange a few blows, but they would not mobilize their entire forces for a large-scale decisive battle.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, becoming the Demon Slayer King has been as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The basic plan is to storm into the Demon Realm, kill a powerful Heavenly Demon Emperor, and then return to the Great Thousand World amidst the encirclement and attack of many other Demon Emperors.
The difficulty of this task is terrifying just to think about.
But Qin Tian actually did it.
Even if it involves the schemes of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Heart Demon Heavenly Emperor.
But Qin Tian's strength is real and undeniable; he is a top-tier existence at the very pinnacle of the Great Thousand World!
Even among those at the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme Realm, few can rival him.
He was tasked with slaying the Demon King, and there was no dissent in the world.
"Perhaps, sometime, I'll have to go to the Four Extremes and kill a few Demon Emperors." Cao Ya muttered to himself in [Battle Through the Heavens].
Qin Tian was speechless:
"With your strength, fellow Daoist, killing the Demon Emperor, or even the Heavenly Demon Emperor, is quite possible."
"However, in the Demon Realm, there are many Demon Emperors, quite a few Heavenly Demon Emperors, and a number of top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors."
"Although you two fellow Daoists are strong, we still cannot underestimate the evil race from beyond the realm."
At this point, he solemnly warned.
The two Cao Ya nodded.
They were well aware of the terror posed by the extraterrestrial evil race.
For example, the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor was almost beyond the Saint Rank, and in a one-on-one fight, Cao Ya had no chance of winning.
Even if the two of them joined forces, they probably couldn't win.
He also had no hope of defeating the Dark Heaven Demon Emperor, the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor, the Spirit Heaven Demon Emperor, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, and the Heart Demon Heaven Emperor, who were below the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor, in a one-on-one battle.
Without sufficient strength, how could the extraterrestrial evil race possibly become a formidable enemy of the Great Thousand World?!
Immediately afterwards, Qin Tian left and returned to the western border.
After whispering to each other for a while, the two Caos turned south to visit Wu Jing.
As for the Black Sky Ancient Clan, the Desolate Ancient Clan, the Fire Spirit Clan, the Wind Spirit Clan, and so on, he decided not to go there.
We still have to give face to Qin Tian, the Demon King.
In any case, his gains were substantial, and there was no need to search for any more cultivation techniques or spiritual manuals before reaching the Saint-grade level.
As they traveled south, they passed through many continents, each with its own unique customs and traditions, like different worlds in themselves.
In fact, many continents in the vast world evolved from lower planes.
Of course, many lower planes still depend on the larger world rather than being directly integrated into it.
On his journey south, before arriving at the Martial Realm, Cao Ya passed through the Ice Spirit Continent.
"Is Ying Huanhuan now the patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan?" Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] whispered.
This time, thanks to his presence, the Demon Emperor was dealt with, and Ying Huanhuan naturally did not need to risk her life to break through to the Ancestral Realm.
However, after Lin Dong, Ying Huanhuan, Ling Qingzhu and others arrived in the Great Thousand World, the Ice Spirit Clan discovered Ying Huanhuan's past life connection. Through the clan's treasure—the Ice God Stele—they located Ying Huanhuan's whereabouts and forcibly took her back to the Ice Spirit Continent.
This went against Ying Huanhuan's wishes.
As a husband, Lin Dong would not stand idly by and cause chaos on the Ice Spirit Continent, directly suppressing this ancient race!
The Ice Spirit Clan was thoroughly humiliated, so they changed their strategy and directly appointed Ying Huanhuan as the clan leader.
This led to a connection with the Martial Realm.
Now, with the rise of the Martial Realm, the Ice Spirit Clan is also gradually showing signs of revival.
Although the Ice Spirit Continent is not particularly remarkable in the vast world, it is still famous throughout the world and awe-inspiring because of the existence of the Ice Spirit Clan.
Like the Fire Spirit Clan and Wind Spirit Clan, the Ice Spirit Clan naturally gravitates towards a certain attribute.
They are quite different from the five ancient tribes.
After arriving on the Ice Spirit Continent, Cao Ya was amazed by the scenery of this ancient continent and kept praising it.
"Huh?" He suddenly felt a pang in his heart, sensing a spying gaze.
It was an extremely cold aura.
With a slight thought, the two immediately erased it.
A few seconds later, an ice-blue figure tore through space and suddenly appeared.
"Who dares to trespass on my Ice Spirit Continent? Don't you know the relationship between our Ice Spirit Clan and the Martial Realm?"
The newcomer shouted.
"Old man, keep your voice down, as if you're afraid people won't hear you." Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] rolled his eyes.
"Who are you?"
The newcomer had a cold face and an unfriendly expression.
Cao Ya looked over at the scene.
It was an old man dressed in a blue robe, his face also a deep blue color. With every move he made, a terrifying chill emanated from him, almost freezing the space around him.
"Ancestor Ice Spirit?" Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] asked, his eyes flashing slightly.
"Since you know who I am, then please leave," said the Ice Spirit Ancestor indifferently.
For the sake of the stability of the Ice Spirit Continent, he doesn't allow just anyone to enter.
Cao Ya had just wiped away the icy aura and had already offended the Ice Spirit Ancestor.
Although they couldn't ascertain Cao Ya's true cultivation level, the Ice Spirit Ancestor didn't want to directly take action and cause a huge commotion.
So they simply let Cao Ya leave.
“If Ancestor Bingling doesn’t welcome us, then we’ll leave.” Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] shook his head.
This is the territory of the Ice Spirit Clan, and because of his Martial Realm status, he can't act recklessly.
Cao Ya sighed regretfully.
[Martial Universe] Cao Ya called out, signaling for them to follow, and they flew south.
"Where are you headed, Your Excellency?" Old Ancestor Bingling's face darkened.
"Can't you hear my warning?"
