The Overlord is very strong. Cao Ya is at most on par with him, but it would be difficult for him to defeat the Overlord by himself alone.
As the "strongest celestial being in ancient times," the only figure to prove his own legend, Cao Ya's ability to fight him to a draw in a one-on-one duel is enough to demonstrate Cao Ya's prowess.
After all, Cao Yaren's cultivation system is at most a mid-to-high level of four stars, not yet at its perfect level. It's just that the power of many systems is combined, which pushes his combat strength to the strongest level of four stars.
Of course, having mastered too many cultivation systems is Cao Ya's advantage.
He mastered one skill, yet went further.
While Cao Ya was locked in a fierce battle with Ba Wang, and the outcome was uncertain, Su Wuming and Daoist Chonghe, with the help of He Qi, had already killed Gu Erduo.
"How can I, the Great Khan, die here?! Heavenly Punishment Axe, revive to the legendary level!" Guldor's physical body collapsed, but a wisp of his true spirit remained, attaching itself to the Heavenly Punishment Axe, forcibly reviving this peerless divine weapon, relying on its legendary power to annihilate a group of righteous Dharma bodies!
Everyone tensed up and became very vigilant.
The essence of the peerless divine weapon is the other shore, standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth. What if, under Guldor's strong will, the Heavenly Punishment Axe truly awakens to the legendary level...?
Su Wuming's eyes were indifferent as he thrust out his sword, intending to bypass the Heavenly Punishment Axe's defense and annihilate Guldo's true spirit.
Buzz...
The same was true for Daoist Chonghe. He used the great supernatural power of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones", which gave him one main body and three clones, making a total of four bodies. The weakest of them were at least at the level of a newly entered Earth Immortal. Relying on himself, he set up the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation". The sword energy was sharp and chaotic, seemingly destroying the universe and ending the world.
He Qi's Dharma body appeared and merged into the void, his aura faint and difficult to detect. He was searching for Guldo's weakness, intending to strike him deadly and shatter his true spirit.
Cao Ya fought against the Overlord, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he realized that there was no way that Guldor could awaken the Heavenly Punishment Axe.
The owner of this peerless divine weapon is the Eternal Mother, not Guldo. He was merely a pawn chosen by the Eternal Mother.
Given the limitations of heaven and earth, how could the Eternal Mother allow the Heavenly Punishment Axe to be forcibly revived and thus damaged?
Cao Ya unleashed a burst of five-colored immortal light, intercepting the Overlord's blade, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
At the same time, Cao Ya pointed with his left hand, and a bolt of lightning pierced the air, heavily striking the surface of the Heavenly Punishment Axe.
when! ! !
A shockwave spread out, almost causing Guldor's true spirit to shatter, and he cried out in pain.
"Heavenly Punishment Axe, save me!" Guldor's spirit swam around, clinging to the wide axe handle, trying to emulate the last time and rely on the Heavenly Punishment Axe to be reborn.
Buzz~~~
The Heavenly Punishment Axe suddenly trembled, and a beam of axe light dissipated, actually erasing Guldor's true spirit.
"Heavenly Punishment Axe..." Before Guldor's true spirit collapsed, an expression of disbelief appeared on his shrunken face.
"So, I was never your master after all..."
Guldo suddenly realized what was happening, and with a whoosh, the last trace of his existence vanished.
This sudden change attracted everyone's attention, and they were all quite surprised.
Cao Ya, however, who already knew the inside story, appeared much calmer.
Just then, the void cracked open, and the Heavenly Punishment Axe leaped and plunged into the chaos.
Unseen by the people, a fair hand reached out from the depths of chaos, grasped the handle of the Heavenly Punishment Axe, calmed the restless axe, and disappeared into the depths of chaos along with the hand.
Inside Chunyangzi's tomb, Guldor was dead, and the Heavenly Punishment Axe had escaped. Only Su Daji remained, her face grave. She knew she was in imminent danger and that if she could not escape in time, her millennia of hard-earned cultivation would be destroyed today.
The Overlord, however, was always calm and domineering, and even with Guldo dead, he showed no fear whatsoever.
But he also had the idea of leaving.
Whether you're afraid or not is one thing, whether you leave or not is another.
Cao Ya alone could fight him to a draw. Once the others were free to help Cao Ya, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
The overlord was indeed domineering, but he was not stupid. Knowing that he was no match for the enemy, he still insisted on staying, putting himself in a desperate situation and in danger of dying.
"Hehe, I won't play with you anymore." Suddenly, Su Daji chuckled softly, and with some kind of magic, she vanished from the mausoleum at the speed of light. Even Meng Qi and Master Lu were caught off guard and didn't have time to react.
When they looked closely, Su Daji was nowhere to be seen.
They've long since disappeared!
"This kind of ancient demon that survived from the distant past, though not proven by legend, certainly possesses more powerful abilities than we can imagine," said Mr. Lu, not finding it surprising that Su Daji had such methods.
Meng Qi nodded.
That's understandable, especially since Su Daji was a key figure in the Investiture of the Gods.
Meng Qi simply couldn't believe she didn't have some hidden tricks up her sleeve!
Thus, Guldo perished, and Tianzhu Axe and Su Daji escaped one after another, leaving only the Overlord, who was still locked in battle with Cao Ya, displaying his imposing presence.
"Cao Ya, this is the end of it. We'll fight again when we meet again!" Overlord laughed, and with a slash of his sword, he discarded some of his "other self" projections to block Cao Ya. He took the opportunity to escape and retreat, leisurely leaving Chunyangzi's tomb.
Cao Ya San destroyed the "other self" projections that Ba Wang had used to cover his retreat in two moves. Seeing Ba Wang leave, his eyes flashed slightly, but he did not pursue him.
No need!
He and the Overlord were not mortal enemies.
The main problem is that the Overlord is very strong, and if you really want to kill him, you might be in danger yourself.
Cao Ya felt it wasn't worth it; defeating the Overlord was enough, and since Guldo had fallen, the basic objective had been achieved.
Clearly, Meng Qi, Master Lu, Su Wuming, Daoist Chonghe, and He Qi had no intention of pursuing and killing the Overlord.
If the Arhats hadn't intervened, how could they have possibly killed the Overlord?
"Let the Overlord and Su Daji go, there's no need to worry about them," Cao Ya said with a smile. He glanced at the spot where the Heavenly Punishment Axe had disappeared, rested his chin on his right thumb and forefinger, and pondered for a moment.
"It seems that Guldo has always been a pawn of some big shot," Meng Qi said with a smile.
"I wonder which important person this is?" He Qi pondered.
“This is the medieval era, yet the Heavenly Punishment Axe still rebelled…” Su Wuming said calmly, but the deeper meaning in his words made Meng Qi and He Qi’s hearts skip a beat.
"The other shore?" Master Lu sheathed his sword and frowned slightly as he spoke.
"Not necessarily!" Daoist Chonghe shook his head and said, "Even those with perfect fortune should have this ability."
"Alright! There's no need to discuss this any further." Cao Ya coughed, stopping everyone. "Whether it's those who have reached the other shore or those who have achieved perfect creation, they are not people we can deal with, nor are they people we should be thinking about right now."
He thought to himself, the master behind the Heavenly Punishment Axe is the Eternal Mother, a complete being of the Other Shore. If he offends her, Meng Qi, who has a deep relationship with her and is one of the pawns chosen by the Eternal Mother, might not be in any real danger, but they would probably be doomed.
