Cao Ya was well aware of everyone's questions and answered:
"Although the stone man is strong, he has not yet taken the final step to complete the transformation and is not yet the Stone King."
"And the Supreme Ancestral God reaches Great Perfection..."
Cao Ya chuckled:
"Hey, there are far fewer beings than the Stone King who have taken the final step on this path! At most, there are a few Supreme Ancestral Gods in the Otherworld, but it is absolutely impossible for a Supreme Ancestral God to reach the Great Perfection!"
"Moreover, it is necessary to stay in the original place of the other world and not to invade the realm of death."
"Don't forget, deep within the realm of the dead, there lies the Stone King!"
At this point, Cao Ya smiled knowingly and said:
"If we had the chance to capture a group of supreme ancestral gods and observe their paths, I think the Stone Kings would definitely not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"The Stone King is not afraid of other worlds!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
“The Stone King’s level is ridiculously strong, so we won’t dwell on it. Our goal should be the Stone Man and the Supreme Ancestral God,” Cao Ya said.
“Cao Yazhanzu, the way you’re saying this… makes it sound like these two things are easily blocked.” Xiao Chen smiled wryly.
"That's a stone man! A super being who has walked the Stone King's Road!" Yingxiong whispered, filled with horror.
"Cao Ya, you've only just broken through to the next level and become a War Ancestor, and you're already looking down on the Stone Man? That's a bit too arrogant, even more arrogant than the old man!" Martial Mark rolled his eyes and complained.
"Don't take advantage of me!" Cao Ya said irritably.
This old charlatan is a complete scoundrel. He's usually carefree, but he can stand up for himself when it matters.
Martial Ancestor was older than Cao Ya, but the Martial Mark was an ancestral divine weapon, forged by Martial Ancestor. Therefore, the age at which he appeared was not much older than Cao Ya's.
The four ancestral gods—Emperor Yan, the Ancient Dragon, the Mysterious Old Farmer, and Mo Xiaowang—contemplated for a moment. After a brief pause, the Mysterious Old Farmer said:
“Cao Ya is right! The coordinates of the Death Realm are definitely possessed by other worlds throughout the history of civilizations. Even if they are wary of the powerful beings in the Death Realm, if the Stone Golems were to mobilize and lead a large army to attack, it is still possible for them to attack the Divine Village and wipe it out.”
“This is something we must be wary of,” Yan Huang nodded.
“We don’t need to consider the Stone King, but as for the Stone Man… indeed, we must find a way to stop his attack.” The old ancestor dragon nodded in agreement.
“We are the Ancestral Gods or War Ancestors. Even if a Super Ancestral God attacks, it probably won't be a problem. But what about the Stone Man…” Mo Xiaowang frowned, then stopped thinking about it and said simply and decisively, “At worst, I’ll just die! Even if I die, I’ll bite off a piece of flesh from this other world!”
His voice was filled with murderous intent. Mo Xiaowang hated the other world to the bone, but at the same time, he was also very clear about just how powerful the other world was.
Otherwise, how could Kyushu have failed in countless aspects of civilization's history?
The half-ancestors of the Nine Provinces, including Tianwaitian and Renwairen, pondered deeply, but for the time being, they could not come up with a good solution.
"How about I leave the divine diagram and the battle sword behind?" Xiao Chen asked, an ancient array diagram appearing around him, and thirty battle swords roared out, stirring up the heavens and earth, almost destroying the universe.
Everyone turned to look, their eyes gleaming with admiration.
Both the War Sword and the Divine Map are remnants from the chaotic lands of the past in the Nine Provinces. It is said that these two items are related to the six great kings of the chaotic lands.
In people's eyes, this is a divine object of the highest rank!
Of course, what Xiao Chen had was not the complete version; the array diagram was incomplete, and nineteen of the battle swords were missing.
Otherwise, with Xiao Chen merging with the array diagram and controlling forty-nine battle swords, he might not be able to match the true Stone King, but he would be no match for the various stone men and supreme ancestral gods!
Even so, with the incomplete array diagram and the thirty battle swords, Xiao Chen's combat power soared, making him a match for the Ancestral God!
In the present-day Kyushu, Xiao Chen is a formidable force!
Cao Ya observed the divine image and the battle sword, shook his head, and said:
"These are two sacred artifacts from the heavens. Although they are incomplete, they already possess some of the qualities of sacred artifacts. If they were placed in the divine village and relied on various magic arrays, they might be able to withstand the stone golems. But when the Stone King attacks... the incomplete sacred artifacts will definitely not be able to stop him!"
Seeing the suspicious looks on everyone's faces, Cao Ya said seriously:
"Don't doubt it! The divine diagram and the battle sword will inevitably attract the attention of some Stone Kings!"
The five Ancestral God-level beings—Yanhuang, the Old Ancestor Dragon, the Mark of Martial Arts, the Mysterious Old Farmer, and Mo Xiaowang—all nodded in agreement with Cao Ya's statement.
The stronger you become, the more you will experience the terror of the sacred artifacts of the heavens.
Undoubtedly, the Stone King and the Supreme Ancestral God at the Great Perfection stage will covet items of this level!
They are simply unaware of the news because they have not yet been born.
After all, Xiao Chen's message hadn't spread far in the Death Realm, but in the Other Realm, the Ancestral Gods had already been mobilized multiple times.
As long as the incomplete sacred artifact remains on the outskirts of the Netherworld, it goes without saying that after a few hundred or a few thousand years, the news will spread, and the kings of the deepest part of the Netherworld will be moved by the news and descend upon the divine village.
While not all stone kings are envious, some are certainly tempted.
And none of the Stone Kings can stop the village now!
In fact, in the Nine Provinces, without the appearance of King Pangu, there was no one who could rival King Shi.
If a few peak beings like Martial Ancestor and Ke Father have already gone far on either the Stone King Path or the Supreme Ancestral God Path, and possess formidable strength, they still haven't taken the final step. They are one level behind and inferior.
Cao Ya was very clear that the War Sword and the Divine Diagram were born from complete oracle bone images, sacred objects of the heavens, and once belonged to the Chaotic Land. Their power was terrifying, attracting the covetous eyes of powerful beings from all heavens.
After the collapse of the Chaotic Lands, the Nine Provinces were born. Five of the six great kings of the Chaotic Lands were gone, and their strength was greatly diminished. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to protect this sacred artifact of the heavens.
However, at that time, the battle swords were scattered and the divine map was broken. No one could collect them all, and no one even knew where they had fallen to.
Even if the kings of the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld were envious, they could only feel regret and abandon the idea.
If news of the birth of this sacred artifact of the heavens were to reach them, I fear that a group of the Stone Kings from the two higher worlds would be mobilized.
"If we dare not use sacred artifacts, how can we stop the stone golem powerhouse? Rely on ancestral divine weapons? No way! With that kind of strength, what ancestral divine weapon? It would have been a stone weapon or a sacred artifact long ago!" The child-like outsider scratched his head, looking extremely troubled.
"Who said it has to be a sacred artifact as the core?" Cao Ya grinned and said, "There aren't many other things in the Death Realm, but there are plenty of ancient demon cities!"
"You wouldn't be thinking of..."
Xiao Chen, Tianwaitian, Renwairen, Yingxiong, and others were all startled and looked at Cao Ya with astonished eyes.
On the contrary, the five ancestral gods looked at each other in astonishment.
"To be honest, the five of us left the Divine Village to explore the Primordial Demon City. We want to move a completely unclaimed Primordial Demon City here for other purposes," the old ancestor dragon said truthfully.
"Ah?!" People were immediately startled, and then looked at the five ancestral gods in horror, their faces showing astonishment and shock.
Ancient Demon City?
That place is where powerful stone golems undergo transformation; it is the key to their cultivation and of utmost importance!
So how could you possibly provoke a powerful stone golem?!
