"There's even such a flaw?? This trip to the Thunder World was definitely the right decision!"
Cao Ya was not only unperturbed by the disintegration of his physical body and the collapse of his Dao, but was secretly delighted.
Leaving aside the numerous Great Daos of the first and second layers, even the few "ultimate" laws, due to the fact that the origin of the Thunder World is different from that of the Source World, caused an outbreak of change, presenting an unstable state. The Great Daos fractured, but this greatly moved Cao Ya, leading him to further perfect the laws.
"The Way of Fire, the Way of Wind, the Way of Void, the Body Refining Path, the Way of Reincarnation, etc., have all shown clear flaws. As a result, my realm has declined to a certain extent and is no longer at the peak of the mid-stage God Emperor."
"However, in the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, there are loopholes and parts of the profound principles that are not universally applicable throughout the universe. Once these are successfully modified... well, when I return to this realm, if I do not use any other extraordinary magical powers and it is simply a contest of my own cultivation level, compared to now, I will not be much better, but I will be a little more powerful."
Cao Ya was quite pleased; even with this restriction alone, his trip to the Thunder World hadn't been in vain.
Otherwise, he himself wouldn't be able to find so many flaws and would consider it to be in a perfect state.
"The only exception is the Void Realm Dao."
Cao Ya whispered, "In the Thunder World, many laws and rules on the material and energy levels have changed, causing some profound collapses that no longer apply and require adjustment. Only the Void Realm Dao, which directly points to the soul and is common to all heavens, has not undergone any profound changes and remains as effective as ever."
Upon realizing this, Cao Ya felt a little disappointed.
"After all, special worlds also exist in the infinite primordial space."
"No matter how different it is from the normal Origin World, it cannot be considered independent of the Chaos Origin Space."
"The path of the soul remains unchanged, which is reasonable, but it is not entirely satisfactory."
Cao Ya sighed, then chuckled, realizing he had been greedy and had tried to swallow an elephant.
The Void Realm Dao is not his fundamental principle. Besides, he has benefited from so many laws on the path of enlightenment; what more could he ask for? To demand too much is simply insatiable!
"There's a problem here. My previous understanding of the intensity and explosiveness of the fire law was insufficient; it was too mild. It needs to be more ferocious!"
"The life-giving and purifying power of flames can also be interpreted from another perspective."
"The speed of the wind, and its tearing effect on space..."
Cao Ya closed his eyes, combining various extraordinary knowledge with the insights gained from analyzing low-level Chaos Origin life forms in the Broken Tooth Mountains. All of this was concentrated and exploded at this moment, and the Great Dao gradually became perfect!
Just as Cao Ya was adjusting the Great Dao Divine Laws, the unstable aura emanating from his body attracted special creatures from this land.
It was a monster with hundreds of pairs of eyes and hundreds of hands, enormous in size, roaming the wasteland, its pupils wild, worshipping bloodshed, and possessing little reason.
However, this multi-eyed creature is very powerful, comparable to a master who has just entered the God Emperor realm!
"Chirp." The multi-eyed creature, its eyes cold and sinister, stared intently at Cao Ya, who was sitting cross-legged, and let out a low growl.
Suddenly, it flew in, as if the entire sky was collapsing, mountains and rivers trembled, and the world was thrown into chaos!
In the distance, a character who had ventured deep into the wilderness witnessed this scene and his expression changed drastically.
"It's the multi-eyed beast! Why did it rampage? Who's so unlucky?!"
This hunting party from Eastwood City was both wary and curious.
"Those who can survive in the Great Wilderness, whether they are local tribespeople or explorers from the city, all have a deep understanding of the Great Wilderness and will not act recklessly or provoke wild beasts."
"Even we, when hunting wild beasts, will carefully gather intelligence, choose suitable targets, and make various preparations to limit the wild beasts' abilities and try to increase our chances of winning."
"Who, besides the city lord, can hunt that multi-eyed beast within the territory of Dongmu City?"
"That guy really had terrible luck to have provoked this monster!"
The leader of this hunting team was a dignified middle-aged man with a vertical eye between his eyebrows that shimmered with a bright green light, as if it could pierce through the void and gaze across billions of miles.
"Let's avoid this place, and make sure we don't attract the attention of the multi-eyed beast, hmm..."
The man with the vertical eyes was about to lead his team members away into the distance, but suddenly he froze.
The people next to him also stared wide-eyed.
Within the sight of the hunting team members, the terrifying multi-eyed beast stirred up the wind and clouds, and after pouncing on the tiny figure on the ground, it was actually smashed to pieces by that person with a single palm strike, resulting in its soul being scattered on the spot!
"What???" The group was shocked. That was the infamous Multi-Eyed Beast. Even the early-stage God Emperors of Dongmu City were wary of it. The mid-stage God Emperors could only suppress the Multi-Eyed Beast, but it was difficult to kill it. Only the Dongmu City Lord, a late-stage God Emperor, could personally take action and hope to kill the Multi-Eyed Beast!
Although the multi-eyed beast is not very intelligent, it still has biological instincts. If Lord Dongmu were to appear in a place hundreds of millions of miles away, it would sense his presence and immediately disappear.
After this happened several times, Lord Dongmu gave up on dealing with the Multi-Eyed Beast.
As a result, that unknown person actually accomplished something that even Lord Dongmu City couldn't do?!
“No, Captain, look, that person’s body seems to be cracking.” A female team member in green suddenly spoke up.
The others quickly looked over and, sure enough, although the man had blasted the multi-eyed beast apart with a single slap, his physical body showed signs of disintegration, suggesting a potentially fatal hidden danger.
“This situation…” the man with the vertical eye narrowed his gaze and said, “It’s an Ascended Being!”
"Captain, he's spotted us," a three-eyed woman in red said nervously.
In an instant, all the team members were on edge, feeling as if they were suffocating.
This small team of theirs is quite experienced, with excellent teamwork and high cultivation levels, all being Divine Lords. However, they are still not qualified to hunt multi-eyed beasts; at best, they can only protect themselves.
But before that ascended being, the multi-eyed beasts were all instantly killed...
“We can’t escape now. Let’s go and pay our respects to this sir.” The man with the vertical eyes took a deep breath and said.
"Whoosh." And so, the five-person team flew across the sky, covered hundreds of millions of miles, and landed not far from Cao Ya.
Their gaze swept over the multi-eyed beast corpse beside them, and their eyelids twitched.
Even the dead multi-eyed beast still possessed the imposing aura of an early-stage God Emperor, causing one's heart to tremble.
On the contrary, the man sitting cross-legged next to the corpse had no breath at all, as if he did not exist.
But deep down, they were most wary of this person.
"Ascension Master." The five people bowed respectfully.
"Where is this place?" Cao Ya asked leisurely.
(
To him, even the most powerful multi-eyed beast, no matter how outstanding it was in the early stages of the God Emperor realm, was not worth mentioning.
He has even defeated a God Emperor at the peak of his power; his record is enough to make him famous throughout the Thunder World.
With Cao Ya's abilities, even without using other extraordinary systems, his own cultivation level has declined and has not yet recovered. However, killing an early-stage God Emperor would still be a piece of cake for him.
That multi-eyed beast, having set its sights on him, was truly in deep trouble.
Although he knew that this place was the Thunder World and understood its overall structure and power distribution, he had no idea where his own foothold was.
There was no way around it; the bubbles were forming too fast, and there was simply no time to observe them.
The five people believed he was an ascendant, and Cao Ya gladly accepted this.
The highest level of the Thunder World is this vast realm, also known as the "God Realm".
Below the realm of gods, there are countless spaces, and the best among them can ascend to the realm of gods.
As a "transmigrator" from the Realm Heart Continent, Cao Ya didn't need to reveal this fact. As an ascendant, traveling through the Thunder World was no problem for him.
In any case, after ascending to the heavens, those who ascend will also experience changes in their bodies and the Great Dao, and will need time to adapt to the new environment of the divine realm, so it is the same for them.
"Ascension Master, this is near Dongmu City in the God Realm, located in the Great Wilderness," the man with vertical eyes replied respectfully.
Fearing that her captain's words would not satisfy the ascendant, the three-eyed woman in red quickly added, "My lord, the God Realm is what this world is called after you ascend."
"The native inhabitants of the divine realm all possess the bloodline of the three Primordial Gods of Chaos, naturally adapting to the environment and following the bloodline route."
"Therefore, as an ascendant of the rule and law system, they are very conspicuous and can be recognized at a glance."
The woman in green and the two men were also giving their accounts, recounting information about the divine realm.
Cao Ya knew many of them, but he didn't interrupt them. He listened quietly, behaving just like any other ascendant.
The native inhabitants of the divine realm are actually descendants of the Heavenly Heart Goddess, the Golden Saint Ancestral God, and the Polar Star Ancestral God.
Hundreds of millions of living beings all possess the bloodline of the three Primordial Gods, making them all extraordinary and powerful.
Therefore, in the realm of gods, the bloodline system is the mainstream.
In the lower planes, the absence of this sacred bloodline originating from the primordial chaos is what constitutes following the system of rules and mysteries.
Among them, the most skilled, such as those at the Divine Lord realm, can ascend to immortality.
Of course, it is not surprising that an ascendant at the God Emperor realm occasionally appears.
The God-King is the King-level being of the Broken Tooth Mountains and the ultimate being of the Realm Heart Continent; the God-Emperor corresponds to the Emperor-level being.
Below the Divine Lord, there are other realms, such as Heavenly Gods and Divine Generals, but we won't go into detail about those.
For native characters, the path to becoming stronger through bloodline exploration is relatively easy, but in terms of combat power, they are far inferior to those of ascended beings.
Ascended beings frequently challenge those of higher ranks; it's commonplace for peak-level God-Kings to defy early-stage God-Emperors, and their various renowns have spread throughout the God Realm.
Therefore, even without the bloodline of the Primordial God, those who ascend to heaven still hold a high position in the divine realm.
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few ascended beings accumulated over countless years, but the God Realm is too vast, and they are scattered, making them very difficult to encounter," the three-eyed woman in red said with a smile. "You are the first ascended being we have met, sir!"
“The combat power and magical abilities of the ascended beings are far superior to those of the native inhabitants of our divine realm,” another tall man sighed.
"Among those of the same level, the strongest are still the Ascended Ones. Even the disciples of the royal family are slightly inferior," the thin man said last, with a hint of envy.
Unrivaled among his peers, his fame would be enough to be recorded in local history.
Not to mention, the ascendants are all ruthless in their character and methods.
To rise and ascend in a lower plane, and to comprehend the laws and rules, without any natural divine foundation, such an existence must have experienced things that are unimaginable even to many native inhabitants of the divine realm.
“You have the bloodline of the Primordial God, making cultivation much easier,” Cao Ya said with a smile. “The level you were born at was already something that countless cultivators would find difficult to reach in their entire lives.”
"It's nothing special."
Seemingly finding this ascendant, who called himself "Wind and Fire," to be relatively easy to talk to and not the kind of evil spirit, the woman in green curled her lip and said:
"We are not direct descendants of the three ancestral gods. If we want to evolve our bloodline, we have to work hard on our own."
"By the way, sir, in the God Realm, we must not offend the power of the God Emperors at the peak and late stages."
"But the three royal clans that we must not offend the most are the Heavenly Heart Clan, the Golden Saint Clan, and the Polar Star Clan!"
Cao Ya nodded. He was a direct descendant of three high-level Hunyuan life forms. He must have lost his mind to cause trouble.
It's important to understand that whether they are transmigrators from other source worlds or special worlds, or ascendants from lower planes of the Thunder World, they have no connection with the three Primordial Gods.
Unlike the native inhabitants of the divine realm, who at least have some connection through twists and turns.
After all, this divine realm was created by the Heavenly Heart Goddess, the Polar Star Ancestral God, and the Golden Saint Ancestral God.
“My lord, you were able to instantly kill the multi-eyed beast. Given your status as an ascended being, if word gets out, you might even be listed on the God Emperor Ranking,” the man with the vertical eye said.
Immediately, the other four people's eyes lit up with excitement.
They actually had conversations with experts qualified to be listed on the "God Emperor Ranking"?!
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya smiled but did not respond directly.
The "God Emperor Ranking" was established by the Heavenly Heart Clan and records the one thousand most terrifying God Emperors in the entire God Realm!
Given the size of the God Realm, the various indigenous peoples, lower-level chaotic life forms, and ascendants, not to mention the three royal families...
Without a doubt, any God Emperor who makes the list, even the last one, is a top powerhouse in the God Realm!
Basically, those listed on the "God Emperor Ranking" are at least top performers in the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm.
Slightly ahead of them are the late-stage God Emperors.
The first thirty or forty are roughly at the level of a fully realized God Emperor.
Cao Ya estimated that with his full power, getting into the top five might be a bit risky, but getting into the top ten shouldn't be a problem.
In fact, even disregarding other systems, Cao Ya is qualified to be on the list if we only consider the realm of the [Snow Eagle Lord] universe.
A mid-stage God Emperor who ascends to immortality is no less capable than a late-stage God Emperor native from the God Realm, and could easily rank among the top two or three hundred.
"That Lord Dongmu is a top expert on the 'God Emperor Ranking'!" the man with vertical eyes exclaimed longingly.
If one day, he could also be on the list...
"The 'God Emperor Ranking' contains a considerable number of ascendants. Among the top thirty are late-stage ascendants, comparable to perfect native inhabitants," the three-eyed woman in red said admiringly. If a perfect ascendant were to appear, wouldn't they be able to challenge for the top spot?!
Cao Ya smiled. If one is a God Emperor at the peak of his cultivation and belongs to the bloodline system, it is very difficult to obtain a quota for transmigration and to experience other powerful special worlds. However, as long as an ascendant breaks through to the peak of God Emperor, he will be immediately summoned by the three Primordial Ancestral Gods and granted the relevant quota.
In the history of the divine realm, there have actually been ascendants who reached the perfect level, but they all disappeared because they left to pursue the path of Hunyuan and traveled to other realms.
"Hunyuan..."
