"Destroy." Cao Ya uttered a single word, and a gale suddenly arose, water mist spread, and darkness swept over him, enveloping the ancient realm at the same time. The profound laws originating from the [Panlong] universe, unparalleled in this world, caused the entire sky of the ancient realm to shatter as soon as a wisp of them overflowed!
Yes, it's about collapsing.
Before everyone's eyes, the sky suddenly darkened, and the power of countless Battle Saints and Battle Venerables was completely annihilated. A river of stars meandered, flowing through the ancient realm's firmament.
A terrifying aura soared into the sky, seemingly connecting all realms, and even other alternate dimensions sensed a severe threat.
The powerful warriors in the Soul Realm and the Medicine Realm all changed their expressions drastically, their faces showing horror.
"A Dou Di?!" Many shocked voices rang out, and countless horrified gazes turned towards the direction of the Ancient Realm.
In the ancient realm, countless beings were shaken.
Although they are descendants of Dou Di, to be honest, they have never seen a living Dou Di.
The last Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent—the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe—is only recorded in ancient texts.
Even powerful Dou Sheng like Gu Yuan wouldn't live to see such a distant era.
Humans are, after all, different from monsters.
"We pay our respects to Senior Cao."
Gu Yuan flew into the sky and bowed respectfully. Behind him were the Dou Sheng powerhouses of the ancient clan. As for the Dou Zun and below, they were not qualified to appear in front of Cao Ya at all.
"Oh, you recognize me? Is this a message from Gu Xun'er?" Cao Ya said with a faint smile, raising his hand to return the shattered sky to the Ancient Realm.
Instantly, the sky reappeared, exactly as it had been a few seconds earlier, as if nothing had ever happened.
But a chill crept into people's hearts.
"The methods of a Dou Di are terrifying!" people whispered, all trembling with fear.
When Gu Yuan and other powerful Dou Sheng saw this, their hearts skipped a beat, and they became even more respectful.
The more powerful the expert, the more they can appreciate the terror of this scene. Changing the world can happen in the blink of an eye. What divine power this is!
“Clan Chief Gu Yuan, I have come here for no other reason than…” Cao Ya said.
However, before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuan immediately said urgently:
"Please forgive me, senior. After receiving my daughter's message, I have been collecting the clan's martial arts techniques and fighting skills to offer to you."
As he spoke, he gave a wink to the three white-bearded, white-haired elders of the Dou Sheng sect.
Those were the three supreme elders of the ancient clan, known as the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, all of whom were powerful individuals at the level of Seven-Star Dou Sheng or above.
They noticed the clan leader's gaze and their minds raced. Although they had never seen any letters or messages sent back to the clan by Gu Xun'er, they were experienced and quick-witted, and their reactions were extremely fast.
"Please wait a moment, senior. I will go and fetch everything you need." The three immortals of the ancient clan bowed and turned back to the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.
Cao Ya smiled enigmatically. He knew that Gu Yuan had never paid attention to Gu Xun'er's information before, believing that she was at most a Dou Sheng expert, which was not enough to make the Gu Clan back down.
It should be noted that among the ancient clans, there are three immortals and the clan leader Gu Yuan, who is at the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, among the experts above the seven-star Dou Sheng level.
An average Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) isn't even worthy of their attention.
However, Cao Ya forcefully broke into the ancient realm, displaying power that directly surpassed the limits of Dou Sheng and reached the level of Dou Di, making him virtually invincible in this era and rarely seen throughout history.
Although the ancient clans were powerful, they would never dare to put on airs in front of a Dou Di.
Gu Yuan's strategy naturally changed. Since Cao Ya wanted cultivation techniques and fighting skills, he would hand them all over. After all, this kind of knowledge treasure could be copied infinitely.
Moreover, even if a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) asks for something, he can only use it as a reference; he won't actually cultivate it. Otherwise, how could he have become a Dou Di?
No one in the ancient clan objected to the surrender of the clan leader and the three immortals. Many even knelt down tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.
Finally, Cao Ya obtained many precious cultivation techniques and fighting skills from the ancient clan, including the methods of the ancient clan's Dou Di (Battle Emperor).
Cao Ya nodded without saying anything more, then tore through the void again and left the ancient realm.
"Phew~~~"
Seeing Cao Ya leave and the torn spatial passage vanish into nothingness, Gu Yuan and the others wiped the sweat from their foreheads, looked at each other, still shaken but also quite relieved.
"Fortunately, this isn't a Demonic Emperor, otherwise our Ancient Clan would likely be doomed today," the three immortals of the Ancient Clan sighed.
Gu Yuan stroked his chin and suddenly smiled:
"I am very much looking forward to seeing what happens when Cao Yadou Emperor goes to the Soul Realm. It's just a pity that I can't go and see it."
As he spoke, Gu Yuan expressed his regret.
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed. With the crisis of the ancient clan's annihilation removed, the pressure in their hearts naturally disappeared.
The Soul Clan, due to their strength, has always been domineering and tyrannical, often wiping out entire families.
Having encountered a Dou Di, if the Soul Clan continues to be arrogant, they might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
“However, the birth of a Dou Di… I only learned his name from the clan leader; I had never heard of him before,” the three immortals of the ancient clan said in confusion.
A powerful cultivator who can reach the level of a Dou Di should not remain unknown.
Before reaching the Dou Zun level, one might be able to break through through arduous cultivation, but after reaching the Dou Zun level, especially at the Half-Saint and Dou Sheng levels, it is extremely difficult to advance without tempering and experience.
As Dou Sheng powerhouses of seven stars or above, they have a lot to say on this point.
"I didn't know either. It was Xun'er who sent me the message that I learned about this Dou Di... Heh, I thought he was a Dou Sheng before." Gu Yuan shook his head and prepared to send a message to his daughter to ask about Cao Ya's situation.
However, he was destined to miscalculate, and Gu Xun'er also knew nothing more about Cao Ya.
As for information about Elder Cao Ya of the Yunlan Sect, no one would pay any attention to it at all.
How fortunate is it for a mere Dou Wang to share the same name as the strongest Dou Di of all time?
But in fact, it's the same person.
"A Dou Di? I really don't know how this Senior Cao Ya cultivated to become a Dou Di." Gu Yuan sighed. He had cultivated for a thousand years but only reached the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng. Not to mention Dou Di, he couldn't even get close to becoming a half-Emperor.
"Thankfully, it wasn't a Soul Clan Battle Emperor," said the three immortals of the Ancient Clan.
The Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan have never been on good terms.
If a member of the Soul Clan were to become a Dou Di, the entire Ancient Clan, the vast Ancient Realm, and countless living beings would likely be reduced to ashes.
"The Green-Robed Battle Emperor..."
Various exclamations of surprise continued to echo within the ancient realm.
Everyone knows that an invincible Dou Di has emerged on the Dou Qi Continent.
Since the time of Emperor Tuoshe, another Dou Di has emerged on the Dou Qi Continent!
Many people's eyes shone with excitement and fervor. Seeing a Dou Di in person only fueled their desire to become stronger.
Even if one cannot become a Dou Di, becoming a Dou Sheng would be excellent.

After leaving the Ancient Realm, Cao Ya went to the Medicine Realm, Thunder Realm, Flame Realm, Spirit Realm, and Stone Realm. Because they had sensed Cao Ya's power as a Dou Di in advance, these five ancient Dou Di races offered up their treasured cultivation techniques without saying a word.
Cao Ya got what he wanted and left on the spot.
The power of the Dou Di forced these ancient powerful clans, who had always considered themselves the overlords of the continent, to experience the taste of weakness.
In the final Soul Realm, Cao Ya also got what he wanted. The Soul Emperor was arrogant, but not stupid. How could he dare to act recklessly in front of a Dou Di?
Cao Ya glanced at the Void Devouring Flame, causing the transformed flame, ranked second on the "Strange Flame Ranking," to pound its heart and reveal fear in its eyes.
Damn it, this green-robed Dou Di, could he be trying to collect different flames...?
The Void Devouring Flame was terrified and looked at the Soul Emperor for help. However, the Soul Emperor was completely oblivious, as if he hadn't noticed anything. This infuriated the Void Devouring Flame to the point of wanting to die.
