"A quasi-Immortal Emperor artifact!" Cao Ya gazed into the distance, still calm and composed, showing no sign of agitation.
Even though those two boxes were already open, bursting forth with dazzling light.
Yes, it was not black mist, but a burst of divine light, a scene of holiness!
However, apart from the immortals and immortal kings of other lands who were captivated and yearned for it, everyone else, even the heroes buried in the earth, was terrified.
It was as if some dark gaze was watching them, and they couldn't shake it off.
That feeling of being pricked by thorns was enough to make even a supreme being like a Celestial King's scalp tingle.
"Hongdi's petty tricks." Only Cao Ya remained calm.
Let alone two quasi-immortal emperor artifacts, even if the Hong Emperor himself came, we would not be intimidated at all.
Of course, Hongdi had some reservations about getting involved in the darkness.
After all, the essence of darkness actually originates from the black blood of the Ecuadorian Plateau!
That is a terrifying thing that could corrupt even the most supreme immortal emperors of all heavens!
At this moment, the two boxes were fully opened, like flowers blooming, revealing the contents inside.
The ancient artifact that originated in the burial area is a bone crown, the crown of an emperor, the crown of white bones!
Even more remarkably, this bone crown would occasionally conjure up the shape of a pure white, jade-like skull, as if that were its true form.
Furthermore, a dense aura of darkness flowed over the bone crown, sending chills down one's spine.
The ancient artifact from another realm is the White Bone Staff, which, while possessing the same holy appearance, is shrouded in dark energy and exudes an ominous aura.
At the same time, as the true forms of the two ancient artifacts were revealed, the radiance on the boxes, seemingly sacred but actually dark, spread out and completely destroyed the ancient land of origin in the alien world!
"Hiss." The radiance from the two boxes covered all directions, and the sky of that foreign land underwent a dramatic change!
With the light of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor shining down, who can withstand it?
However, the alien realm has fallen into depravity and has been infected by the ancient artifacts since ancient times. Faced with this light, it not only did not feel disgust, but was overjoyed!
Even the immortal and powerful are captivated by it, wanting to immerse themselves in its divine radiance and be bathed in it.
However, with a sudden boom, countless foreign cultivators were wiped out by the holy light they worshipped. Like ants, they vanished without a trace.
Only a very few people survived, and they looked very happy.
“I have seen the path to immortality…” the monks exclaimed with joy.
They didn't care at all about the deaths of other members of their clan, and even looked down on them.
Hmph, do you really think that ancient artifacts will be favored by just anyone?
If you lack the qualifications and understanding, and voluntarily come forward to bask in the holy light, you're just courting death!
Only those with exceptional abilities and at least sufficient potential can be selected to be considered by the experts of ancient artifacts.
Over countless years, the vast majority of immortal masters born in other realms have worshipped ancient artifacts of origin, been influenced by them, and comprehended the path to immortality.
"Boom!" Just then, a giant hand swept across the sky, covering the river of time and pressing down all the ancient artifacts of origin.
"No!" The alien cultivators' eyes widened in horror. This was their chance for immortality, how could they let it be like this?
"Damn the World Dao Ancestor..." these cultivators cursed, and as soon as they finished speaking, boundless profound mysteries surged forth, obliterating them.
Those who can be chosen by the ancient artifacts of origin are all placed on the kill list.
"As mortal enemies, it would be a disservice to the Ancient Artifact of Origin if we didn't utterly destroy you!"
Cao Ya said coldly, "In the many eras of slaughter, how many cultivators from other realms have remained pure and virtuous? Even if we don't kill them all, if we slaughter half and leave the other half, there will definitely be some who escape."
Especially those that survived the dark baptism of ancient artifacts.
Each of their sins deserves to be killed a thousand times over!
A simple calculation using cause and effect or fate reveals an overwhelming stench of bloodshed, which terrifies Cao Ya.
If we don't eliminate them now, who knows how much more bloodshed they might cause in the future!
Cao Ya is not exaggerating; this is the truth.
Within the ancient artifact, the corruption of dark energy caused even the Immortal Emperor to fall, let alone others.
Even though this is just a wisp and not the true form of the black blood, the cultivators in this group are still not at the Immortal Emperor realm.
In the Boundary Sea, all beings of darkness have the right to be killed!
Of course, whether or not they can win is another matter entirely.
"It's a bit crazy." Cao Ya glanced around and couldn't help but shake his head.
In the vast starry sea of the alien realm, countless cultivators roared and flashed with light as they swept across the sky, heading towards the ancient artifact of origin, seeking to receive the holy radiance and yearning for transformation!
Even Cao Ya was speechless in this situation.
The entire alien realm, from top to bottom, has developed an extremely high degree of adaptability to darkness.
This also led them to hold ancient artifacts of the origin in the highest esteem!
In other realms, this scene would certainly not exist, nor would so many cultivators be able to undergo some kind of strange evolution under the illumination of the ancient artifact of origin.
On the contrary, even Immortal Kings and True Immortals will be melted by the Ancient Artifact of Origin, and their bodies and souls will perish!
It can only be said that since ancient times, the influence of those ancient artifacts has penetrated deep into the marrow of foreign lands.
"Bang!" Cao Ya didn't bother to argue anymore and directly used his great magic power to isolate this star sea.
"No! World Ancestor, let us pay homage to the Ancient Artifact of Origin!"
The cultivators from other realms were filled with wails of despair. Without the Holy Light of Origin, how could they seek the secrets of immortality?
"Boom!" However, a burst of causal light enveloped them, and in the next instant, many of them died suddenly, their breaths fading away on the spot.
Only a very small number of people survived.
"If you come any closer, don't blame me for unleashing a massacre!" Cao Ya warned.
Using causal reasoning, no one can escape his divination.
No matter how well you hide, you will eventually be exposed under the cycle of cause and effect.
Those who committed heinous crimes were naturally all killed without exception by Cao Ya in the blink of an eye.
A few individuals did not deserve to die, so Cao Ya did not carry out the killing.
The reason for such a high proportion is also related to these cultivators riding the escape light, crossing the starry sky, in order to worship the ancient artifacts of origin.
Anyone who can see the origins of ancient artifacts and still has this thought is a master in the realm of humanity.
Having reached this level, they must have had rich experiences. Many of them have invaded other realms and caused large-scale massacres. Why would Cao Ya keep such people around if he didn't kill them?
On the contrary, normal travel and exploration, scheming and competing with various cultivators for treasures and resources... these are extremely common in the cultivation world and there is no problem with them. Even if they are ruthless, Cao Ya does not pay much attention to them and does not eliminate such people.
"Hiss..." The survivors trembled and finally came to their senses.
That person was none other than the World Dao Ancestor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
The legendary one who breaks through the king and becomes an emperor!
How dare I be so presumptuous in front of him?
"Fortunately, the World Dao Ancestor, just like the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the ancient Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, still adheres to rules and will not kill indiscriminately."
"As for those who died... hehe, we've all heard about their deeds. Even in foreign lands, they're despicable, and they deserved to be slaughtered!"
"Yes, the immortals and Buddhas of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, looking across the entire World Sea, do indeed have a lot of principles."
Those cultivators were extremely fortunate. If the roles had been reversed, and they were facing their own Immortal King... well, that would have been a disaster. They would have been wiped out by the Immortal King without any regard for right or wrong, or for their sins or karma!
Because they came from a foreign land, they understood better the way their own experts operated.
"What a pity! The ancient artifact is shining brightly... what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
However, before returning, they gazed at the ancient land of origin with regret.
But the next second, their pupils constricted, and without further hesitation, they tore through the void and fled!
All that could be seen was the ancient land of origin, where the bone crowns of the burial domain had transformed into human forms, with truly snow-white skulls shining in the mortal world.
The foreign bone staff was held in the hands of a humanoid figure with a bone crown, exuding unparalleled grandeur.
The alien white bone staff remained completely indifferent to the deaths of the alien cultivators, whether they were killed on a large scale by their light or by bloody calamities and were blasted apart by the World Dao Ancestor.
In fact, it doesn't care even about immortal kings and immortals.
"Those who blaspheme against darkness shall be killed!" Amidst the shock of the heroes from all directions, the humanoid figure with the bone crown of the Burial Domain uttered a majestic and sacred voice, its words carrying the mandate of heaven and invoking the Great Dao, its words becoming law.
"Snap." A flash of light appeared above Cao Ya's head, shattering the curse of the bone-crowned humanoid.
This scene, however, shocked all the cultivators!
The ancient artifacts from the burial realm actually possess a spirit? And those from another realm…
It's highly likely that it exists! Moreover, judging from the current situation, the ancient artifacts that originated from the two great realms were probably made by the same person!
"No wonder I've been uneasy." The Burial Master took a deep breath. The ancient artifact of origin was truly an ominous object!
Behind this, there must be some incredible powerful being lurking in the Boundary Sea.
"A Quasi-Immortal Emperor... Could it be that Emperor Luo? He just disappeared without a trace."
The heroes of the Burial Domain speculated, but could not be certain.
There are very few records about the era of the fallen emperors, even in the burial grounds.
"It shouldn't be the one from the era of Emperor's Fall! Perhaps the reason he went deep into the Boundary Sea was to solve... but it seems he still failed."
The immortals pondered, feeling somewhat sentimental. Every era has its dark calamities, and clearly, that quasi-immortal emperor had met his end deep within the Boundary Sea.
Yet the emperor's magnanimity still inspires awe and reverence in people countless years later.
"Perhaps, it shares the same origin as the Great Luo Sword Embryo and the Three Worlds Bronze Coffin?" Meng Tianzheng murmured. While fighting against the Immortal King of the Otherworld, he also diverted his divine sense to observe the Bone Crown and the White Bone Staff, but he did not find any similar points. He shook his head again.
"The secrets of the myriad realms of the Boundary Sea are far more numerous than we imagined," sighed the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.
The origins of those two ancient artifacts, including the Great Luo Sword Embryo and the Three Generations Bronze Coffin, remain unknown.
Perhaps the Quasi-Immortal Emperors of Dilu and the World Dao Ancestors, with their supreme status, could understand some things, but they seem unwilling to explain it in detail to others.
It's not that the Quasi-Immortal Emperor is stingy, but rather that the more secrets one knows, the more dangerous it becomes!
With the power of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, crossing the boundary sea and annihilating an Immortal King would not be difficult.
A true Immortal Emperor could even flatten the boundless sea!
Moreover, the Great Luo Sword Embryo and the Three Generations Bronze Coffin are vaguely related to the original sacrificial path!
Even if they are gone, no one dares to speak ill of them... Furthermore, the illnesses they suffered before their death on the sacrificial path became the source of the strangeness, and are now the trump card of the strange race, so naturally they are even more wary!
That black blood, didn't it corrupt the corpse of the Immortal Emperor?
“Ancient artifacts of origin…” Shi Hao and his freely transforming figures severely injured Kun Di and Qu Zhong, and also paid attention to the bone crown and white bone staff. Finally, he understood the source of his previous unease.
"Who catalyzed the creation of the Otherworld and the Burial Grounds?"
Shi Hao muttered to himself, using his supreme magic to calculate the secrets of heaven, but to no avail.
"It shouldn't have been intentional!" Shi Hao muttered again. "Perhaps the Origin Artifact was forged by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but the birth of the Burial Domain and the Otherworld... that was a random event."
Kundi's face was gloomy. He had been worshipping the ancient artifact for so many years, yet he was unaware of this secret.
"Who cares about some quasi-Immortal Emperor!" Qu Zhong said indifferently. The yellow gourd spun, protecting him and barely managing to survive, avoiding being killed by Shi Hao.
"Anything capable of slaying a World Dao Ancestor is a good thing!"
"If it can't be done... it only means that the ancient artifacts of origin are still lacking something!"
"But the Quasi-Immortal Emperor behind the Origin Artifact will likely also be alerted..."
At this point, Qu Zhong gave a cold laugh and said, "So, no matter what the outcome is today, whether my realm is defeated or not, the fate of your Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is already sealed!"
"Even the World Dao Ancestor is no match for such a powerful being!"
"When the time comes, your fate will be even worse than ours!"
Shi Hao struck out with his palm, causing the yellow gourd to tremble and develop cracks.
"Then you don't need to worry about it! When a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is born, our realm will deal with him."
"Although Quasi-Immortal Emperors are powerful, they are not invincible! If others can achieve it, why can't we?"
"The advancement of the World Dao Ancestor is a case in point!"
"Breaking through the King realm to become an Emperor... Sooner or later, within the Boundary Sea, even more Quasi-Immortal Emperors will be born!"
"No matter how powerful the mastermind behind the scenes is, they can't fight against overwhelming odds, and they will eventually be defeated!"
Shi Hao single-handedly defeated the two supreme giants from the alien realm, leaving them in a sorry state.
However, in their verbal exchange, Kundi and Quzhong were evenly matched.
They're certainly stubborn.
"I'm still a little short of becoming an Emperor Light Immortal King... To become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, I must at least reach the limit of the Immortal King realm! I hope to help the World Dao Ancestor as soon as possible and fight against the possible mastermind behind the scenes!" Shi Hao thought to himself. He had gained some insights in the battle with the supreme giant, and the Emperor Dao light on his body became more and more obvious.
Seeing this, Kun Di and Qu Zhong looked grim, but there was nothing they could do.
They really can't beat Huang!
How could there be such an unbelievable super genius in the world?
They have lived for countless years and traveled all over the heavens, but they have never seen one... Well, there is a World Dao Ancestor over there!
But why are they all from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?
"Buzz..." At this moment, Cao Ya's magic power imprisoned the ancient land of origin, as if it were independent of other realms.
Even the power of the bone crown and the white bone staff could not crush the immortals or destroy the universe.
Otherwise, with the power of a quasi-immortal emperor, destroying a realm would be a piece of cake.
The bone-crowned humanoid did not react to this.
The Boundary Sea is a pasture for Quasi-Immortal Emperors. Why should one care about the birth and death of a plane?
Each wave of darkness sweeps across the land, annihilating hundreds of worlds and killing billions of people.
As a quasi-immortal emperor artifact of the Hong Emperor, even if the entire alien realm were destroyed, it would not be able to move it in the slightest.
"Those who establish a Heavenly Court shall be executed!" The humanoid figure with the bone crown brandished his white bone staff, exuding imperial aura.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Cao Ya slapped back, using his flesh and blood to directly confront the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's weapon.
"With your level of attainment, why wouldn't you establish a Heavenly Court?" the bone-crowned humanoid asked in return.
It smashed the white bone staff down, only to find that it failed to pierce the World Dao Ancestor's palm. Instead, its own form showed signs of disintegration!
