"Hmm, the chaotic void is indeed inferior to the Realm Heart Continent, but is that enough?"
Cao Ya shook his head. "Yuan" went to great lengths just to create more cosmic gods?
Even a high-level Chaos Origin life form wouldn't truly satisfy him; at the very least, it would have to be a world-class one!
For example, the Thunder World was created by three advanced Chaos Origin life forms, who were ordered to guard it. Unless they achieved something extraordinary, they could not leave without permission!
Of course, there is no need to go to the frontier to participate in the battle against the naturally formed chaotic life forms. Instead, the focus is on cultivating cultivators. The difference between the two situations is obvious, and each person has their own opinion on which is better or worse.
Even from this glimpse, it's clear that within Hunyuan, those at higher levels don't have much say.
A world-class Chaos Origin life form can liberate a lord within a source world, protect that world, and not fear a surprise attack from the Chaos Origin Ancestor. Relying on its geographical advantage, it can withstand attacks head-on. Only in this way can it be called powerful!
For advanced primordial life forms, facing the progenitor is a one-sided affair.
"On the Realm Heart Continent, no one has ever been able to escape the confines of the Origin World, which has led to some criticism of 'Yuan'. However, the power and status of the lord are undeniable, and no one dares to disrespect him, but in secret, they definitely harbor resentment, believing that 'Yuan' has wasted a lot of resources!"
"Perhaps, such discussions will gradually cease only when Dongbo Xueying becomes the 'Snow Eagle Lord'."
"Currently, Dongbo Xueying is only at the second level and hasn't even ventured deep into the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. It's still a long way from when he achieves enlightenment!"
Cao Ya thought to himself, looking down at the space around the mountains below. It was very strange and the space was distorted. Even he, who was at the second level of the Void Path, could not detect what kind of method it was.
"That's not surprising. Could 'Yuan's' work be anything but ordinary?"
"Leaving aside the fact that he is a lord, even if he chooses to attain enlightenment, it is still a path to enlightenment!"
"Without a doubt, among the more than half of the laws that 'Yuan' has comprehended, there must be the Dao of Void!"
"After becoming a world-class Chaos Origin Life Form, he further enhanced his physical body and soul, and then grasped the essence of the 'Dao' at the Chaos Origin level, thus leaping to become a Lord!"
Cao Ya looked into the distance and saw that the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, which covered an area equivalent to three Xiafeng Ancient Kingdoms, was shrouded in distorted space. Even a God Emperor Realm expert could not see what was inside.
Similarly, the native inhabitants and the undead race within are also unable to obtain information about the Boundary Heart Continent.
The "Yuan" system further restricts the fact that experts at the Emperor level are unable to leave the Broken Tooth Mountains to wreak havoc on the Realm Heart Continent.
Conversely, on the Realm Heart Continent, there are no restrictions, and people can come and go as they please, as long as they can defeat the King-level and Emperor-level beings.
It may seem like favoritism, but regardless, the Realm Heart Continent is the true lineage of cultivators. The natives, the Dead Fiends, and others originated from the two deceased Primordial Ancestors. Because of their "weakness," none of them broke through the limits, so "Yuan" naturally didn't care.
Even if they achieve ultimate awakening, "Yuan" could accept them.
But deep down, the importance of "Yuan" is definitely different on the Realm Heart Continent.
"Whoosh." Cao Ya flew into the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, feeling as if he had entered another world.
Even the omnipresent "supreme rules" have changed.
It is important to understand that although different source worlds all have "supreme rules," they are quite different from each other due to geographical features, the races they have nurtured, the cultivation civilizations they have cultivated, and so on.
This also shows that although the Broken Tooth Mountains are adjacent to the Boundary Heart Continent, they are not the same.
The operation of that "supreme rule" is so absolute that no one below the primordial chaos can disobey it!
In reality, even the Lord of Chaos, unless he wanted to completely destroy a source world, could not possibly confront the "Supreme Rules" head-on. It's not that he couldn't do it, but that he was unwilling to do it!
With the new Primordial Ancestor, there are few scruples within the territory of the cultivator camp. He can act recklessly and destroy one source world after another. No matter how strict your "supreme rules" are, they will all fall apart!
“Broken Tooth Mountain Range, Floating Islands…” Cao Ya looked around and saw that the vast mountains he had seen outside had now turned into floating islands suspended in the sky!
This peculiar space, boundless in area, has given birth to countless floating islands and a vast hidden world! Scattered like stars, it adorns the ten directions above and below.
"When I first came here, I only sent a specially crafted clone. Even with 70-80% of my main body's power, I still had to be very careful... After all, back then, my main body was only about the same as the peak King level here. Because of the mystery of my moves, I could be slightly better, but if I faced the native world lord and the emperor of the Death Fiend Clan... then there would only be one way out: death!"
Cao Ya sighed with regret. Now he could move freely, and the only thing he had to worry about was the five supreme beings!
Apart from that, even the Eight Great Sages, the Eight Great Emperors, and the Thirteen Sovereigns could not stop his progress!
The indigenous people are all world lords, generally at the emperor level, with the slightly more powerful ones being at the mid-stage or above. The eight emperors are the strongest among them, representing the peak of the late-stage emperor level!
Similarly, although there are many emperors of the Deathbringer Clan, the strongest are still those thirteen emperors!
Just like the most powerful beings within the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms, who are revered as the "Eight Great Saints" by the natives and the Deathly Fiends.
"The world of indigenous peoples is mostly hidden, in order to avoid being discovered."
"Only the floating islands, suspended high in the sky, are clearly visible."
"The Deathly Fiends are not very intelligent. They are bloodthirsty and crazy. At most, they will only begin to have a certain degree of rationality when they reach the King or Emperor level and their power increases."
“Each floating island corresponds to a race of undead, and also has its own ‘emperor’!”
"In the past, I explored deep into the floating islands, and my clones died countless times."
Cao Ya looked around and saw that the floating islands around him were all small ones, but their diameters were still over several hundred billion miles. The larger ones were several trillion miles, or even hundreds of trillion miles, which was quite normal.
Don't be fooled by the fact that from the perspective of the Realm Heart Continent, the Broken Tooth Mountains are only the size of three Xiafeng Ancient Kingdoms. Once you enter, this unique space encompasses countless floating islands and hidden worlds. Its area is incalculable and would probably rank among the top in the billions of Origin Worlds!
"Buzz." Cao Ya's divine sense swept across trillions of miles, but it was still not as powerful as it was in the Realm Heart Continent, where it could easily perceive a source world!
"The Broken Tooth Mountains will restrict all kinds of extraordinary powers, especially within the floating islands, where the suppression effect is even stronger!"
"For example, the Great Transcendent Teleportation Technique, in the hands of a cosmic god, can allow a wisp of soul to traverse the source world and be reincarnated. Here, in this strange space and within the world of the native inhabitants, it is also possible to cross the void and perform the Great Teleportation Technique."
"However, mysterious rules are spreading within the floating islands, hindering the Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique."
"The same applies to other spells and supernatural abilities; their effectiveness will all decline sharply."
"Most importantly, the Deathbringer Clan is completely unaffected on the floating island; they can easily teleport!"
Cao Ya sighed, thinking that this could be considered compensation for the Dead Demon Clan.
Otherwise, given the wisdom of the Deathly Clan, they would likely be manipulated to death by cultivators and natives.
Even if they kill everyone they see, all's fair in war. If they can teleport, they can always have a strategy to manipulate the Deathly Clan, causing them to lose focus on one thing and another, so that their allies can seize the opportunities within the floating island!
"The larger the floating island, the more dangerous it is, and correspondingly, the more precious the opportunities it presents."
"My goals are twofold: first, the remains of Hunyuan; second, the treasure for enlightenment."
"Comparatively speaking, apart from the few at the top, the Deathbringers and the natives are not my targets."
"As for the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms... unfortunately, there are too few of them, and they are scattered throughout the strange space, making them even fewer."
Cao Ya didn't bother going into the small floating islands around him; there was nothing there worth his time.
Even the undead race, with their jet-black skin and an aura of evil, could not detect Cao Ya's whereabouts. Even their "Emperor" was unable to find him.
"Whoosh." Cao Ya's figure traversed the strange space, his divine sense spreading out to observe the surroundings, mainly in order to search for strange objects that could be of help to him.
In his divine perception, the scene inside the floating island, as well as the well-hidden world of the indigenous people, were all clearly visible.
We also saw that many natives, including cultivators from the Realm Heart Continent, were adventuring on the floating islands, hoping to obtain spiritual treasures from heaven and earth.
Cao Ya didn't interfere; it was none of his business. As someone who was at least a cosmic god, everyone was already mentally prepared for what they might encounter. Besides, why should he meddle in this kind of trial? It wasn't like he was slaughtering innocent people.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a chilling aura emanated from a large island.
"Huh?" Cao Ya stopped, slightly surprised. He'd actually been noticed?
He observed carefully, and then suddenly realized that it was a special, low-level primordial life form!
The terrifying life forms nurtured by the universe and nature inherit the authority of the Great Dao. Even if one does not know the reason for it, they do possess mysterious abilities at the corresponding level.
"Roar!!" It was a strange-looking, bull-shaped beast with a wide mouth, broad nose, eight hooves, and four horns. Its body was enormous, spanning hundreds of millions of miles. Its eyes were extremely cold, sending chills down one's spine.
"Between the middle and late stages of the God Emperor realm? Not bad." Cao Ya nodded.
“Cultivator, this is not a place for you!” the ox-shaped beast said menacingly.
Its large, bull-like eyes scanned Cao Ya in the distance, its expression full of apprehension.
Previously, it had been sleeping soundly in its lair, but suddenly, it developed a strange, supernatural ability, as if someone had passed by. Such a sense of unease was rarely experienced by this bovine-shaped beast.
Otherwise, given its temperament, it would have already attacked and killed the cultivator! Why would it engage in dialogue?!
"When did the Boundary Heart Continent produce such ruthless characters?" The ox-shaped beast was also puzzled.
As a powerful low-level Chaos Origin life form, it has lived in the Broken Tooth Mountains for trillions of years, a long enough time for it to learn a great deal about the Realm Heart Continent.
But whether it was the vanished Undying Nether Emperor or the Xia Emperor, in the eyes of the bull-shaped beast, they were just ordinary emperors, utterly vulnerable in its presence.
Unlike the man before it, who gave it an unparalleled feeling!
"Hmm, your talent, this ability to sense danger in advance, is a very useful supernatural ability."
Cao Ya stroked his chin, unable to resist becoming somewhat interested.
He immediately stepped out and arrived inside the large island, unaffected by the surging, cold power.
"Arrogant!" Despite being very cautious, Cao Ya's actions still enraged the bull-shaped beast!
"Moo!" With a loud roar, the floating island, which was trillions of miles in diameter, shook as if it were about to fall. The terrifying aura permeated the surrounding area, causing people to feel fear.
On the nearby islands, the Dead Demon Clan lives, and the indigenous people are exploring. They have all heard the roar of the bull-shaped beast and are all terrified!
"Who is so bold as to venture to that island? Don't they know that there is a powerful Bull Venerable among the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms there?!"
The natives, filled with fear and worried about unforeseen changes, withdrew from the floating island and returned to their own worlds.
The Death Clan, on the other hand, were quite uneasy. Several of their "Emperors" had awakened, their faces grave.
"We need to consult the higher-ups." Soon, these "emperors" had an idea.
The Deathbringer Clan is scattered across countless islands, with one clan and one emperor per island, making them essentially independent entities.
However, the thirteen most powerful emperors of the Deathly Clan must also be loyal to and offered tribute.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult to withstand the attacks from the forces of the eight indigenous emperors.
As for those supreme beings... as great supernatural beings who have reached the peak of the Emperor level, all they seek is "ultimate awakening" and becoming advanced Chaos Origin life forms. They might manage some territory or power, but if you ask them honestly, they don't really care.
Therefore, those who truly held power were the thirteen emperors and the eight great emperors.
The Eight Great Sages, needless to say, are all solitary travelers, wandering through strange spaces, and no one would provoke them for no reason.
"Boom!" Not to mention that the Death Fiend Clan was notifying the Thirteen Emperors, the bull-shaped beast launched the first attack on Cao Ya. Demonic sounds filled the ears, and the power of the Great Dao surged in the sky!
With the slightest movement, that enormous bull's body could tear through space and shatter the rules of the Great Dao.
If it were on the Realm Heart Continent, even if Emperor Xia tried his best, he would inevitably be defeated. He would have to use all his trump cards to barely protect himself. If it were the Undying Underworld Emperor, the situation would be slightly better, but he would still be no match for him.
It should be noted that this ox-shaped beast is definitely not even in the top ten of the low-level Chaos Origin life forms in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.
If you include the indigenous people and the undead race, they won't even make it into the top 50; the top 100 might be a possibility.
This shows how much inferior the cultivation civilization of the Realm Heart Continent is compared to that of the Broken Tooth Mountains!
Moreover, compared to many special worlds, the Broken Tooth Mountains are barely passable and can hardly be called "powerful".
One can only marvel at how wondrous the Infinite Chaos Space is, capable of appearing in any kind of region!
"Not bad," Cao Ya praised. This ox-shaped beast, whether in terms of the profound laws or the brute force of its body, was quite admirable in its application.
As for not being able to perform at one's best or exceed expectations, like a cultivator with various profound techniques at their disposal, capable of greatly enhancing combat power...
Low-level Chaos Origin Life Forms are extremely rare, and those who can achieve this level often receive help from cultivators who create suitable secret techniques for them!
Therefore, cultivators are generally able to fight against those of higher levels when facing natives with pure bloodline systems, the Death Fiend Clan, and lower-level Chaos Origin Life Forms!
Of course, this only applies to crossing one level; even for super geniuses, it's only two levels!
However, once one reaches the peak of the God Emperor realm, regardless of the path taken, one stands at the pinnacle below the Chaos Origin, just one step away from the finish line. Therefore, this gap will gradually narrow.
Only the most extraordinary geniuses can defeat other God Emperors at the Perfection stage, truly dominate the Chaos Origin, and look down upon countless Origin Worlds, looking down on countless Cosmic Gods!
