"He really said that??" Hou Fei and Hei Yu were both stunned.
“Cao Ya, the God King, he really is…” Jiang Li also looked visibly surprised.
How could the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable, one of the strongest overlords in the God Realm since ancient times, be looked down upon?!
"It seems we all underestimated Brother Cao; his depth and resources are beyond comprehension," Qin Yu remarked with admiration.
Based on his understanding of Cao Ya, if he said that, then he was at least 70% or 80% sure.
"Master... is he that powerful?" Qin Shuang was very surprised.
Although he knew that his master was an unparalleled god-king, to contend with the Heavenly Venerable...
"Just watch, your master will give everyone a big 'surprise'!" Qin Yu said with a smile.
Everyone watched the water mirror light screen with great concentration.
But then, inside the Heavenly Venerable Mountain, Cao Ya grinned and said, "Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, you're late!"
Before he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm. The nine-colored radiance floated lightly, seemingly illusory, but it brought an indescribable pressure to the group of god-kings!
Even in the perception of the Asura God King, the Blood Demon Queen, and others, the two Celestial Venerables who were rapidly traversing the relief passage seemed to be less oppressive than Cao Ya!
"Unbelievable..." This scene undoubtedly shocked the kings!
"Father (Grandpa), save me!" At this moment, facing Cao Ya's palm strike, the several God Kings of Northwest Thunder Punishment City were filled with fear as they faced imminent disaster.
"Ah!!!" The Northwest Holy Emperor, Thunder Martial God King, and Thunder Nightmare God King were all fighting back with all their might, using "Time Acceleration" and "Space Mastery" and even activating first- and second-rate Primordial Spiritual Treasures.
However, it was no use. Cao Ya crushed them all with a single palm strike!
Even a second-rate Primordial Spiritual Treasure was destroyed and collapsed on the spot!
"Hiss." The primordial spiritual energy dissipated and returned to the divine realm.
Those top-tier Primordial Spiritual Treasures of Thunder Punishment City, if they weren't fundamental artifacts of the God Realm, related to Heavenly Tribulation and Thunder Punishment, and the stability of the universe, Cao Ya was determined to crush them in an instant!
Of course, considering the subsequent impact, as well as the existence of Piaoyu Tianzun and Lin Meng, Cao Ya would not act recklessly to damage this first-class spiritual treasure—the Thunder Source Spirit Pearl.
However, other second-rate spiritual treasures are not so lucky.
"Father..." Zhou's God King screamed, exploding under Cao Ya's palm strike.
The so-called second-stage God King was as weak as a celestial being and was instantly killed by Cao Ya.
The Zhou family's divine king vanished instantly, utterly and completely dead!
"Boom!!" Cao Ya also flicked his sleeve, beating the Arctic Holy Emperor, the other Holy Emperors and royal god kings to a pulp. Their royal bodies cracked, blood splattered, and their breaths were weak.
Unlike the Zhou family's God King, he didn't die on the spot.
The eight royal families, born from heaven and earth, possess different first-class spiritual treasures and are responsible for managing the origin of the divine realm. In a sense, they can be considered the stewards of the divine realm.
Although they were enemies, Cao Ya was ruthless. After killing the king of Thunder Punishment City and inflicting heavy casualties, there was no need to continue to increase the number of casualties.
What if he angers Lin Meng...? He doesn't know Lin Meng here!
Therefore, it's enough to severely injure and kill these kings; there's no need to blast them into pieces.
From this day forward, no god-king will dare to jump in front of him.
As for why they didn't keep the spoils of war from the second-rate spiritual treasures, they actually chose to smash them...
Let alone second-rate spiritual treasures, even first-rate ones wouldn't be of much help to Cao Ya.
If you replace it with a six-star peak Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure, it's about the same.
The problem is that Cao Ya knows that the spiritual treasure in Tianzun Mountain belongs to Che Houyuan.
Che Houyuan's situation was also admirable; he didn't want to compete with Che Houyuan.
The reason I participated in the battle for the Celestial Venerable's Remnant Seal was because I was interested in the time law contained within it!
"You have a good brother and a good daughter, otherwise, I would kill you right now!"
With a wave of his hand, Cao Ya swept away the Arctic Holy Emperor "Jiang Fan" like an ant, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.
Out of respect for Jiang Lan and Jiang Li, Cao Ya wouldn't kill the Arctic Holy Emperor, but he didn't give him a friendly look either.
The other five Holy Emperors and God Kings had no grudges against Cao Ya; the conflict arose because of the Heavenly Venerable's Spiritual Treasure.
After defeating Cao Ya, he injured him severely, so that he wouldn't have to use his full strength to kill him again.
The attitude of the person in charge must be considered, and they cannot go too far.
The responsibilities of the eight royal families are actually quite significant, requiring the God-King to oversee them.
But Cao Ya will definitely not hold back against the first targets, Thunder Punishment City and Snowdrift City!
The Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable's influence was useless to him, so he naturally slaughtered all the Thunder Punishment City God Kings.
However, Jiang Lan and Jiang Li's influence was still quite effective; after defeating the Holy Empress of the Arctic, he was spared death.
"Hmm..." The Arctic Holy Emperor groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his divine king body crumbling.
He witnessed firsthand the downfall of the Zhou family's God King, the defeat of the other royal families... and on top of that, he was severely injured himself...
An immense fear welled up within the heart of the Arctic Holy Emperor!
He knew that if it weren't for Jiang Lan and Jiang Li, he would definitely have followed in the footsteps of the Zhou family's God King!
But for the Holy Emperor of the Arctic, this was a great humiliation!
After all, he and those two had already broken ties!
Because of this, countless people in the divine realm, both on land and in the ocean, secretly criticized him and held him in contempt.
They only dared not publicize it because they were wary of the authority of Snowdrift City and the King-level strength of the Arctic Holy Emperor.
As a result, now that they're in danger, they have to rely on their connections to get the enemy to show mercy...
The Holy Emperor of the North Pole not only feared Cao Ya, but also felt a sense of humiliation!
But he didn't dare to speak, afraid that he would anger Cao Ya and be punched to death without a second thought!
"So powerful!" Even the royal family members and kings kept their distance, staring at Cao Ya with great fear.
Jiang Lan glanced at the Arctic Holy Emperor, her emotions somewhat complicated.
Although he found the actions of the Arctic Holy Emperor extremely disgusting and even contemptible!
But they are brothers after all...
However, since the person was still alive, Jiang Lan couldn't be bothered to care anymore.
"Oh no, the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable has descended!" God King Yi Feng's expression changed.
Jiang Lan and the God of Death also tensed up.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." The reclusive god-kings, the ascended god-kings, and even those royal god-kings all hid in the corners of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, holding their breath and waiting, but no one dared to go to the center of the arena.
The duel between the strongest God King and the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable, and the Carefree Celestial Venerable will also be present...
Who would dare to get involved in such a battle? Even the Asura God King would avoid it like the plague!
"Cao Ya, he is indeed the most powerful God-King since the birth of the God Realm!"
"Damn it, this is actually a God-King, not someone who has broken through to the Heavenly Venerable realm?!"
The kings exchanged thoughts, and couldn't help but curse under their breath, feeling utterly incredulous!
At this moment, Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable "Zhou An" finally arrived!
His divine sense had naturally detected the fall of the Zhou family's king long ago.
The Thunder Punishment Celestial's face was ashen, and without uttering any incoherent words, he simply raised his hand, and a divine sword appeared.
“Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable!” Cao Ya turned around, facing the relief-carved passage, still appearing calm.
"Blood debts must be repaid in blood, Cao Ya. Use your blood to pay tribute to my children!" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable said coldly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, able to see into people's hearts.
His full head of silver hair still shimmered with a dazzling brilliance, captivating all who beheld it, seemingly revealing some truth of the path of lightning and calamity.
Between the eyebrows of the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable was a red mole, so vivid it looked as if it were about to bleed.
"Boom!" Suddenly, thunder roared and lightning flashed, filling the entire Heavenly Venerable Mountain!
If it weren't for the special texture of Tianzun Mountain, its creation by Lin Meng, and its connection to the advancement of a new Tianzun, it would probably have collapsed on the spot under the terrifying divine power of Lei Fa Tianzun!
"The sword is named 'Original Sin,' and I hereby grant you death!" Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable said coldly.
As he spoke, Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable unleashed a sword strike, reaching the pinnacle of artistry, with boundless sword intent surging forth.
Most importantly, the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable also fully utilized the laws of time, "accelerating" time by billions of times, yet in some areas, a "static" phenomenon appeared, and there were even traces of "time reversal"... This doesn't even include the roar of the laws of space and lightning!
It's no exaggeration to say that Lei Fa Tian Zun's strength is not bad among the peak six-star level.
Even though he was formed by relying on the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure, he had at least mastered the laws of time, space, and lightning. This meant that the power of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable was incomparably strong!
Moreover, the Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure Original Sin Sword was forged by Lin Meng using the essence of the God Realm. This was the work of a seven-star giant, so how could it be weak?
Moreover, this is a Celestial Treasure tailor-made for the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable!
To be precise, every Celestial Treasure is created by a controller who, after predicting the future and determining the person who will attain enlightenment, invokes the relevant fundamental laws based on their circumstances. It takes a whole epoch, or sixty quadrillion years, to bring it to life within the Mother Cauldron of the Treasure.
Therefore, when Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure and Heavenly Venerable are combined, the effect of one plus one is greater than two is achieved!
Otherwise, why would there be a descent of the Heavenly Venerable Mountain in every epoch? Wouldn't it be much easier to let these God-Kings achieve enlightenment entirely through their own abilities?
Since you've done this, you should naturally receive a reward.
The same applies to Lei Fa Tian Zun, Xiao Yao Tian Zun, and even the future Che Hou Tian Zun.
Of course, someone like the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu, who breaks through his own limits, would undoubtedly be much stronger!
"Whoosh!" The sharpness of the Original Sin Sword became even more piercing under the urging of the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable.
The space inside Tianzun Mountain trembled slightly, as if it were about to crack.
But in the end, no gap appeared, and it remained intact.
This scene shocked the kings.
What is the origin of Tianzun Mountain?
Immediately afterward, they all stared intently at Cao Ya. How would this strongest god-king deal with this?
"Not bad." Cao Ya nodded. Lei Fa Tian Zun's performance was acceptable; he didn't disgrace the Heavenly Venerables of the Divine Realm.
"Huh?" The king was dumbfounded.
Who is the Celestial Venerable with the higher level of cultivation?
"Arrogant brat, I will not be satisfied until I tear you to pieces!" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable was furious, the red mole between his eyebrows turned even more blood red, and the piercing of the Original Sin Sword was even more inconceivable, severing the laws!
Cao Ya smiled. In other universes, he had fought many peak six-star warriors, and had quite a few souls lost to him!
Typical examples include [Snow Eagle Lord], [Eternal Life], [World of Immortality], etc.
Compared to those peak six-star cultivators, Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable is not weak at all.
To say it can be ranked in the top tier... that would be a joke.
At most, it's only at the upper-middle level!
"Void Realm Dao!" Cao Ya flicked his finger, and a void realm floated out. A phantom interface dragged down the soul of Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, making it almost impossible to resist. He had to divert 30% of his magic power to parry!
Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable suddenly felt that he was carrying the weight of an entire world on his shoulders as he attacked Cao Ya!
"What kind of divine power is this?" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable was shocked.
There are actually illusions that can affect the Celestial Venerable?
The realm of gods is vast, and there are naturally many illusions and supernatural powers, but they are often only effective at the level of gods and celestial beings. When one reaches the realm of a god-king, they are nothing more than minor arts.
In the eyes of the Celestial Venerable, even the most exquisite illusions are full of flaws.
A single instance of "time acceleration," a factor of hundreds of millions, would completely deplete all of it!
However, even with "time reversal," Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable couldn't counteract Cao Ya's illusionary magic!
"Go." Cao Ya made a hand seal, and flames, lightning, gales, light, darkness, space, time, cause and effect, reincarnation, swordsmanship, and other mysterious laws surged forth, filling Tianzun Mountain.
For a moment, even the majestic and vast Tianzun Mountain, which stretches to the sky and connects to the earth, paled in comparison.
It seemed as if some kind of rhythm was missing.
"Boom!!" Cao Ya's law energy surged forth with unstoppable force, displaying an invincible aura.
That sword of original sin, as a dignified celestial treasure, was actually pierced through by the overwhelming energy!
"Hmm?" Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable's pupils contracted; he sensed an ominous meaning.
Moreover, that's a Celestial Treasure! How could a God-King destroy it?!
The next second, Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable experienced the attack his own Original Sin Sword was subjected to!
"Boom..." Endless mysteries overwhelmed him, destroying time, space, and lightning.
His divine body was also dying out and constantly crumbling.
"Ah!!" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable cried out, his voice filled with pain.
His heart was filled with fear.
He felt that he was not fighting against Cao Ya, the God King, but being killed by his senior brother, Piaoyu Tianzun!
That power is truly no weaker than that of the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu!
But this is clearly just a god-king!
Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable couldn't understand it and couldn't help but wonder: Was his master a king of this level back then? Or was his master born supremely strong and never had the experience of rising to power through cultivation?
Neither Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable nor Carefree Heavenly Venerable knew anything about Lin Meng's past.
They didn't even know that there was a Hongmeng Universe!
Only the Celestial Venerable of Floating Feathers understood.
Lin Meng's relatives and friends, including the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu, have also met him.
The Celestial Venerable Piaoyu also traveled to the main universe of the Hongmeng Universe.
This also shows how much importance Lin Meng attaches to the three Heavenly Venerables.
"Cao Ya!"
Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable roared, but immediately turned and ran away.
The shattering of the Sword of Original Sin, the wounds within himself, that unprecedented feeling of being on the verge of death...
All of this made Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable realize that Cao Ya God King was a great supernatural being comparable to Floating Feather Celestial Venerable!
As for why the God-King is so powerful... it may be puzzling, but the facts are there and cannot be ignored!
"If I stay on Tianzun Mountain any longer, I'll really die!"
This realization made Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable disregard all pretense of saving face.
He wanted to go back to Thunder Punishment City... no, to the Mountain and Sea Palace!
With his senior brother around and the master's attention, this God King Cao Ya wouldn't dare kill him!
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a streak of light rushed from behind and caught up with Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable, delivering a fierce blow to him.
"Ah!!" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground with a bloody hole in his chest, from which blood continued to flow.
"Hiss!" The kings' scalps tingled. The one who had been beaten to the ground and was in a sorry state by God King Cao Ya was actually Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable?!
