"retreat!"
Suddenly, Qin Mu shouted and, together with Kaihuang, Yun Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, and the others, used their magic to pull them out of the collapsed private school and arrive at Cao Ya's side.
At this moment, Cao Ya's sword intent was clashing with that of the scholar in the painting.
"rumble……"
The supreme principles of Dao clashed violently, and the light of ruin spread for billions of miles. All buildings were destroyed, and the Pixiang Palace trembled, with many cracks appearing.
"Who is this one-armed man? And who is the person in the painting?"
Emperor Ming, the Heavenly Venerable, and others were all shocked.
Their memories are still stuck at the moment of their death.
Many tens of thousands of years have passed since this era.
Times have changed, and the cultivation system has evolved dramatically.
The Southern Emperor Zhuque has not been dead for long, but I have heard that in the Yuan Realm Yankang, there is a rapidly rising sword god who is comparable to a Heavenly Venerable.
"Is this the Celestial Venerable??" Emperor Zhuque muttered to himself. "Is this all there is to it, even if the Supreme Emperor were to be resurrected?"
As an ancient goddess, she existed in the primordial era and witnessed firsthand the power of the Supreme Emperor. The three great god-kings, as well as the Heavenly Duke and the Earth God, were all inferior to her.
However, in the eyes of the Southern Emperor Zhuque, the two masters facing off were even more terrifying than the Tai Emperor!
"That one-armed swordsman should be Cao Ya, the Celestial Venerable of Yankang. And who is he confronting? Why is he in the painting? Are they both enlightened beings?"
"And why am I here?"
Emperor Zhuque of the South frowned, puzzled by too many things.
"Sister, step back a bit," Qin Mu reminded her.
"Mm." The Southern Emperor Zhuque obediently retreated. She knew Qin Mu and had a good relationship with him. Her backup plan after her resurrection was based on Qin Mu.
But she was also well aware that, judging from the current situation, something must have gone wrong and changed after her death.
"Moon Celestial Venerable?" Suddenly, the Southern Emperor Zhuque's eyes lit up.
"Sister Zhuque." Yue Tianzun smiled and came over with Ling Tianzun to meet with the Southern Emperor Zhuque and catch up.
The Southern Emperor Zhuque is an ancient god who existed in the era of the Creator.
Later, she developed a very friendly relationship with a group of experts from the human race, such as Yue Tianzun and Ling Tianzun.
Unfortunately, under the rule of the Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court, not to mention the human race's strongmen, even the Southern Emperor himself was in great danger. In order to break the deadlock, he took the initiative to die, hoping to rely on Qin Mu's supernatural powers to be resurrected.
But the final result was not as expected.
The soul of the Southern Emperor was thrown into the Pixiang Palace, just like that of the Ming Emperor and the Imperial Celestial Venerable. They were trapped there, isolated from the outside world. Even Qin Mu's self-created great divine power could not affect the Pixiang Palace.
Furthermore, Xiaotianzun and others were aware of the existence of Yuan Sheng in the Mi Luo Palace, and felt that the souls of the dead who were thrown into the palace would likely face certain death or become slaves.
Indeed, this was the case. They were all suppressed by the Primordial Saint, and their Dao Fruits were eroded. Under the profound influence of this, they were oblivious and unaware, only knowing how to recite scriptures and dedicating their strength to the Primordial Saint's escape.
“Yutianzun…” Yun Tianzun, Qin Mu, Kaihuang and the others looked at the mature and steady remnant soul of Yutianzun with complicated expressions, both excited and regretful.
The Lan Yutian of the outside world, after being resurrected by Qin Mu, had a part of his soul missing. Although his talent and charisma remained the same and were unparalleled in history, his performance in all aspects, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships, was not as good as that of the Yutianzun from millions of years ago.
At that time, the Celestial Venerable was not only the first genius to open up the divine treasure and create the path of acquired cultivation, but also the leader who guided the acquired races in their struggle for survival! (Read more)
Lan Yutian is still a cultivation prodigy, but he is no longer the leader, and his personality is no longer suitable.
In this respect, Kaihuang and Yuntianzun both admitted that they were inferior to Yutianzun.
Even the deceased Haotian Venerable admired Yutian Venerable and felt that he was no match for him.
"It's you!" When Emperor Ming saw Yu Tianzun, Yun Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, and Yue Tianzun, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
Qin Mu and Yun Tianzun gave a brief explanation, making everyone understand their situation and the current state of affairs.
Finally, they were surprised to find that this was the Fragrant Pavilion of the Heavenly Court. They had heard of it but had never seen it in person. Who would have thought that they would be thrown into this place after their deaths?
However, what they didn't expect was the appearance of Cao Ya!
They actually overthrew the Heavenly Court?!
This Cao Tianzun is actually the strongest being in all of history? Surpassing even the Supreme Emperor and the Ancient God Emperor!
He can be described as the strongest being invincible in all the heavens and myriad realms!
"The outside world has undergone earth-shattering changes, it's completely different now," Emperor Ming exclaimed, also pleased.
As the king of the Crimson Bright Era, he ultimately failed. Perhaps seeing future human masters sweep across the heavens and earth, defeating the Heavenly Court, would be a happy thing for him, something to be joyful about.
Yu Tianzun and the others all had smiles on their faces.
Those who were thrown into the Hall of Fragrant Breeze had undoubtedly rebelled against the Heavenly Court. Moreover, they were exceptionally talented and their power shook the world. They were regarded as thorns in the side, forcing the Heavenly Venerable to use special means to banish the souls of the dead to prevent them from being resurrected and causing trouble for the Heavenly Court again.
So how could they not be happy to learn of the destruction of the Heavenly Court?
"Cao Tianzun..." The Southern Emperor Zhuque also felt that the times were changing too fast and he could not have expected it.
She was only killed by the Fire Celestial Venerable for a short time, and the Heavenly Court, which was high above and suppressed all realms, was actually overthrown?!
"Who can win this battle? That Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace has two Dao Fruits and one Dao Flower. His realm is much higher than that of the Tai Emperor! Moreover, he cultivated them himself, unlike the Tai Emperor's immature Dao Fruits, which are full of hidden dangers." Shu Jun whispered.
Because there is no creator here, Shujun and Langwan God King do not recognize any of the deceased souls. They merely watch from the sidelines, just like Taishi, focusing on the confrontation between Caoya Heavenly Venerable and Miluo Palace Primordial Saint.
People's faces hardened as they watched this duel between top-tier cultivators.
At this moment, after the introduction, everyone understood that the Dao Realm system, with its thirty-six heavens, was comparable to an ordinary Great Heavenly Court and surpassed even the Heavenly Venerable.
To condense a Dao Fruit, one must reach the highest Dao realm of the thirty-ninth heaven!
"The Primordial Saint of the Mi Luo Palace possesses two Dao Fruits and one Dao Flower. His comprehension is also extremely high!" Emperor Kaihuang was shocked.
His swordsmanship has only reached the thirty-seventh level, qualifying him to create the Great Luo Heaven within the ultimate void and grow a Dao Tree.
However, it is not yet ready to bear fruit and is inferior to others by one or two levels.
The others were undoubtedly far inferior.
Only Yun Tianzun replaced Taidi, took over the Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven, and possessed the immature Dao Fruit of the Dao of Divine Consciousness.
Unfortunately, the Tai Emperor's divine sense had great flaws. After Yun Tianzun took over, he was still unable to let his true self descend to the mortal realm. Most of his power could not reach the heavens, and only a part of his divine sense could descend and travel through the myriad realms.
Therefore, although Yun Tianzun's main body possessed extremely profound cultivation, he was unable to make this divided soul also possess the strength of a top-tier Daoist.
Unless he can make up for the deficiency!
Yun Tianzun is still trying, but so far there has been no effect.
People like Ling Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, and Qin Mu possess mysterious supernatural abilities and are among the strongest in their respective ranks.
However, the absolute difference in their cultivation levels made it difficult for them to contend with the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace.
This time, Qin Mu did not have the leaves from the ancient god Taiyi Dao Tree to protect him.
Fortunately, with Cao Ya in charge, he was able to rival Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace.
Of course, Yuan Sheng's strength has not recovered and he is not at his peak, which gives Cao Ya an opportunity to kill him.
Otherwise, the foundation of two fruits and one flower is basically at the level of the fortieth level of the Dao Realm, which is the peak of the five-star level. Cao Ya is still inferior to him.
There were many beings like the peak Yuan Sheng in prehistoric times, and many of them were found within the Mi Luo Palace.
Not to mention the young masters of the Mi Luo Palace, the beings that have taken the form of the World Tree, and the combined forces of the Creator Clan, who have surpassed the fortieth level of the Dao Realm and are all six-star beings, second only to the master of the Mi Luo Palace!
It's no wonder Cao Ya is under a lot of pressure. He has to protect the Seventeenth Cosmic Era and fight against the threat from prehistoric times. Ordinary cultivators are actually not qualified enough.
"Boom..."
The two powerful figures clashed, their auras fierce and malevolent; even the slightest outburst of their power could shatter the mortal world.
"Hai rest!
!
Cao Ya's thoughts stirred, and his sword intent, sharp and piercing, pierced the heavens. A deathly aura permeated the world, enough to sweep across the universe and bring it to its end.
In the painting hanging inside the broken private school, a scholar is reading more quickly, his voice echoing. The Dao tree, with its budding flowers and two plump fruits, is swaying, exuding different Daoist charms that fill the world.
Under their clash, the Pixiang Palace trembled, the void cracked, and it seemed unable to withstand the pressure and was about to collapse.
That group of people had no choice but to retreat and observe from a distance.
Having witnessed such a fierce battle, and having previously experienced the Great Dao Laws of the Primordial Saint of the Mi Luo Palace, they were deeply moved and felt that their path to enlightenment was becoming increasingly clear.
"Bang!"
"
Cao Ya swung his sword, smashing the private school to pieces. The ultimate weapon of slaughter was on full display, its blade flashing through the air, pointing directly at the painting.
The painting depicts Yuan Shengpaoxiao of the Mi Luo Palace. It is his dwelling place, used to avoid the suppression of the Seventeenth Era Universe, and has always been a phantom outside.
If the portrait is destroyed, he himself will also suffer a severe blow.
Yuan Sheng roared and struggled, his reading voice resounding. His unique Dao spread, still powerful. When it collided with Cao Ya's blade light and death energy, chaotic energy erupted, as if creating the world and destroying it. Stars fell, and the commotion was enormous.
"Kill!" Cao Ya shouted, his body swaying as three heads and six arms appeared. He chanted incantations, and his hands either formed sword gestures, activating different sword techniques, or unleashed fist and palm strikes. Divine power surged, pushing his attacks to their peak and reaching the ultimate sublimation.
The unique techniques and methods from different universes are now on full display, displaying unparalleled divine power and demonstrating the supreme rules.
"Sizzle~~"
The painting was pierced through, and Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace had no choice but to reveal his true form. However, under Cao Ya's various profound and fierce attacks, blood splattered, his body was torn apart, and even his soul was almost pierced.
"ah!
"!" Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace was furious. In the previous three cosmic eras, he had been an enlightened being, condensing Dao Fruits and Dao Flowers one after another. He had profound attainments in the three laws. Even though there were many enlightened beings in prehistoric times, he was still very famous.
Aside from the severe injury he suffered while smuggling himself across the Seventeenth Century, he had never suffered such a great loss before. His body exploded, his spirit dimmed, and he was almost dying.
This was an utter disgrace! Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace roared, burning his energy and unleashing his Great Dao, forcibly using his great divine power to fight Cao Ya to the death.
He has no choice but to fight desperately; if he continues like this, his fate is sealed.
Moreover, there was a group of experts on the periphery, who posed a considerable threat to him, who was injured.
"boom!
Cao Yalun wielded the divine blade in his hand, and the sharp blade light injured the Dao Tree.
Even more sword light swept across the void, attacking Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace from all directions.
Fire, lightning, light, darkness, and countless other profound laws and divine skills were unleashed by Cao Ya, reaching unimaginable heights. He shattered the Dao Fruit, shattered the Dao Tree, and left the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace on the verge of death.
Yuan Sheng was terrified and tried his best to burn the Great Dao to reassemble the Dao Fruit and Dao Tree, but he failed every time he was halfway through.
Because Cao Ya's Dao intent was entangled on it, constantly eroding it and preventing the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace from recovering.
If given time, Yuan Sheng could force him out and eliminate the hidden danger.
But Cao Ya, a veteran of countless battles, would never give Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace such an opportunity!
"The Seventeenth Cosmic Era is not a place for you withered bones in a tomb!" Cao Ya shouted, his divine blade slicing out and beheading the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace. He then charged forward, further suppressing and killing, giving the Yuan Sheng no chance to turn the tide or catch his breath.
"Boom!"
"
Lightning raged, light and darkness, wind and fire roared across the sky, sword light and blade energy intertwined, and the deathly intent of heaven and earth spread for billions of miles.
Cao Ya exerted all his strength, unleashing all his unique skills and secret techniques to refine the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, destroying his physical body and obliterating his soul. He also used his ultimate killing plan to eradicate the Dao Fruit, Dao Flower, and Dao Tree.
Such beings are extremely difficult to kill. Even a fragment of their physical body and soul, or a remnant of their Dao fruit, may contain their true spirit. After slumbering for billions of years, they may be able to revive.
Without some skill, how could one sneak through the cosmic era and venture into the future?
In the end, with a mournful cry, Cao Ya used all sorts of methods to annihilate the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace. Not a single trace of his true spirit remained; they were all dead.
Cao Ya collected the shattered Dao Fruits, Dao Flowers, and Dao Trees, intending to take them back to Yankang for cultivators to study.
Yun Tianzun was also able to glimpse the origins of Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, understand the hidden dangers of his passing on the secret techniques of the Tai Emperor, and was able to attempt to complete the task.
"Cao Yatianzun is truly invincible!" Emperor Kaihuang exclaimed.
He was deeply moved; the thirty-eight levels of swordsmanship were within reach.
"Is this the strongest being of all time?" Emperor Ming, Emperor Zhuque of the South, and others murmured to themselves, their expressions filled with astonishment.
Although I had heard everyone's descriptions, I was still shocked to see it with my own eyes.
They believed that even a single strand of that magical power would be enough to severely injure them, leaving them unable to resist.
Moon Celestial Venerable, Langwan Divine King, Qin Mu, Tai Shi, Shu Jun, and Cloud Celestial Venerable all sighed in agreement.
Afterwards, the group left the Pixiang Palace, rescued the Southern Emperor Zhuque, Yutianzun, Minghuang and others, and killed Yuansheng of the Miluo Palace, eliminating a potential threat. This journey was a complete success.
After receiving the Heavenly Court and completing the trial, Cao Ya left Yuan Sheng's belongings in Yan Kang and went to the Ancestral Court with Qin Mu, Ling Tianzun, and others.
Throughout history, the only two things that have remained unchanged are the World Tree and the Ruins of Return.
Because the second young master of the Mi Luo Palace, the first goddess of Guixu, was extremely bloodthirsty, he was suppressed at the bottom of Guixu by the master of the Mi Luo Palace. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed by the second young master.
Therefore, for prehistoric enlightened beings, the only shortcut to smuggling themselves across was the World Tree.
Therefore, by guarding the ancestral temple, protecting the World Tree, and eliminating those who illegally cross over, the seventeenth century can be maintained, allowing for normal development, formation, existence, decay, and eventual extinction.
Instead of withering away prematurely like the Sixteenth Period, which lasted only a few billion years.
"This time, it's time to meet the ancient god Taiyi, who was reincarnated from the true spirit of the Lord of Tiandu."
