"Respected Lord Yuan, you're leaving already?" Supreme Shifa was a little dumbfounded.
He was still waiting for "Yuan" to bestow some good fortune upon him! And then, that was it?!
"At least give us something..." The gods were also frustrated. Such a golden opportunity had yielded no results!
It should be noted that even in the Broken Tooth Mountains, the name "Yuan" is extremely renowned and revered by all spirits.
He is the only known living master in the Boundary Heart Continent and Broken Tooth Mountains who has escaped the confines of the world!
The glimpse of something between his fingers was enough to allow a royal-level being to go even further on the path of awakening!
However, considering that the appearance of "Yuan" saved them from perishing and being destroyed by the God of Wind and Fire, the group of divine generals couldn't help but feel fortunate.
"Phew." At this moment, Cao Ya happily put away the Three-Colored Flower of the Connecting Machine and looked at the Supreme Venerable Shi Fa.
Immediately, Supreme Shifa tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy. The special bloodline within him began to surge and roar, producing the sound of a great river, and a dark aura enveloped him.
The gods were also on edge, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
The battle just now has proven how terrifying this supreme cultivator is, capable of sweeping across the entire universe!
However, Cao Ya just smiled and did not make a move.
Previously, they had the opportunity to kill the Supreme Lord Shifa and others, but were forced to give it up due to the appearance of "Yuan".
The moment Yuan's divine sense retreated, he launched his attack... Wasn't that too disrespectful to Yuan? What if Yuan became dissatisfied...?
Cao Ya wouldn't take any risks! He's already reaped a great harvest with the Three-Colored Flower of Intrigue, and besides, he's going to venture into Black Leaf Lake to challenge the Supreme Being. Having faced a crisis of destruction before, he certainly wouldn't dare to fight again!
Cao Ya flew directly to Black Leaf Lake, ignoring the heroes of Shifa Island.
"Phew." Seeing this, the surviving divine generals, and even the Supreme Being of Shifa, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They were also curious: the Wind and Fire God was not a bloodline system and did not have a corresponding special blood, yet he could be helped to evolve by the Black Leaf Flower. So why did he go to Black Leaf Lake?
"Could it be that the God of Wind and Fire wants to try to explore the secrets of Black Leaf Lake?" Supreme Shifa murmured. Although Black Leaf Lake is located on Shifa Island and belongs to his territory, he has never set foot in the core area for trillions of years.
The Venerable Shifa speculated that this lake must be closely related to one of the ancestors of the Hunyuan lineage!
Unfortunately, he lacked the strength to seize the greatest fortune of Black Leaf Lake, so he could only guard the treasure mountain and wait to become stronger in the future before exploring it.
But as for the God of Wind and Fire… Supreme Master Shifa estimated that this person had a chance of reaching the top!
"Let's go and take a look!" said the Supreme Lord Shifa, leading several divine generals to Black Leaf Lake.
They soon saw the God of Wind and Fire standing by the great lake, his face filled with amazement!
"Black Leaf Lake lives up to its name." Cao Ya praised inwardly. Looking around, he saw a vast, fiery red lake with water that was entirely crimson in color. It had an astonishingly high temperature, capable of burning even the most precious objects in the world to ashes!
It's no exaggeration to say that if the water of Black Leaf Lake were brought to the Realm Heart Continent, it would be enough to make many cosmic gods envious and fight tooth and nail for it!
But here, they're everywhere, and even the Supreme Being and the divine generals are too lazy to scoop them up.
After all, the fiery red lake water did nothing to help them awaken their bloodline.
"Splash..." At the same time, within the lake, there were countless black leaves, their number unknown, covering the entire lake!
Beneath the black leaves, the red lake water surged, radiating heat. The two great energies not only did not clash, but instead blended harmoniously into one, which was astonishing.
Furthermore, the diameter of the black leaves increases as you move further in.
If the outermost leaves, closest to the shore, are only one or two meters in size, enough for three or five people to stand on, then the leaves in the deepest part are tens or even hundreds of miles in diameter, like black mountains stretching across the land.
Besides the black leaves, there are also blooming purple petals, all of which are extremely beautiful.
Similarly, the further inward the flower is, the larger its diameter becomes. A clear example is the very center, where atop a hundred miles of black leaves, a purple flower spanning tens of miles is in full bloom, a truly magnificent sight.
"Buzzing..." The Black Leaf Lake, with its fiery red water, black leaves, and purple flowers, exuded a terrifying aura. These elements resonated with each other, overlapping and multiplying exponentially. The oppressive feeling was so intense that even the divine generals felt like they were suffocating!
This can be seen from the fact that the generals only looked on from a distance and no one approached.
The only ones standing directly on the lakeside were Cao Ya and Shi Fa Zhi Zun.
No matter how great Black Leaf Lake's origins are, it was ultimately not intentionally created by the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos. In fact, it was merely the evolution of a small part of the Daoist essence. Moreover, due to the limitations of "Yuan," that divine principle did not fully erupt. Therefore, even a Perfected God Emperor, with sufficient power, could still venture there.
“Great God of Wind and Fire, it won’t be that simple for you to venture deep into Black Leaf Lake,” said Supreme Venerable Shifa.
“There is a powerful pressure even on the shore. If we climb onto the Black Leaf and move towards the center…”
"Hehe, it gets even more terrifying later on. Even I can't reach the end!"
Upon hearing this, the divine generals couldn't help but sigh. The Broken Tooth Mountain Range was full of dangerous and secret places. Even if one reached the peak of the Emperor level, one could not act recklessly and try to uncover all the secrets of this boundless and peculiar space!
“That’s why I came to your Shifa Island,” Cao Ya replied.
"You think there's a secret treasure in Black Leaf Lake and you want to intercept it?" Supreme Shifa smiled. Anyone would have such a thought. How many people could possibly defeat him and actually come to Black Leaf Lake? He might give face to the other four Supremes and let them try, but other royal-level beings, even the Eight Emperors, would not be able to get close to Black Leaf Lake!
In a true sense, the only one who forcibly ascended to this place by force was the Wind and Fire God!
In the eyes of the Supreme Being of the Buddha, this was also the first person who had the potential to reach the end!
"To be honest, I hope you succeed, so I can find out if there are any other treasures in Black Leaf Lake besides the lake water, black leaf flowers, and flower dew!" said Supreme Shifa.
"You'll find out." Cao Ya smiled slightly. The black leaf flower dew and the like could have a significant promoting effect on certain special bloodlines, but he was not a person of this kind, so harvesting it would be useless to him. In comparison, the crimson lake water was much more precious.
Of course, none of these things were Cao Ya's target; the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplets were!
The Broken Tooth Mountains possess two great treasures: the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl and the Serpent's Tooth Marrow Pearl. The latter is relatively common, with countless specimens appearing. The former, however, is extremely rare; to date, only two Thousand-Eyed Water Pearls have been recorded.
Inside that enormous purple-black leaf flower was a thousand-eyed water droplet.
Although he obtained a Serpent Fang Marrow Bead from the Supreme Being Haogu, since they are two supreme treasures, it would be incomplete without the Thousand-Eyed Water Bead.
(
Since the Great Emperor of the Northern River is dead, Dongbo Xueying will not be betrayed, but there is no cooperation either. Unless his Void Dao and Body Refining Flow attain the late stage of the God Emperor Realm, he will not be able to break through the blockade of the Supreme Lord of Release and personally arrive at Black Leaf Lake.
As for the God Emperor Realm of the Void Realm... if one can reach the ultimate level, one can leapfrog into a world-class Primordial Life Form. Why would one need to comprehend this damn Thousand-Eyed Water Bead?!
"Black Leaf Lake is at least related to one of the two Primordial Chaos beings!" Supreme Shifa said slowly. "Having perished countless trillions of years ago, even the slightest remaining magical power was enough to repel a Supreme Being... I truly don't know how powerful that Primordial Chaos being is!"
"No wonder they are qualified to transcend the Origin World, break free from the cage, and roam freely in the infinite Chaos Origin Space!"
"According to rumors, it wasn't Yuan who killed them all alone, and he was injured in the process!"
The Supreme Being Shifa sighed. His only goal was to achieve ultimate awakening and become a primordial life form!
Even though he learned from "Yuan" about the four paths to transcendence, with "Ultimate Awakening" being the worst, he still couldn't see the direction even for the weakest and easiest "Ultimate Awakening"!
Thinking of this, the Supreme Lord Shifa turned to look at the God of Wind and Fire beside him, his eyes filled with envy.
According to Yuan himself, this "Great God of Wind and Fire" is a formidable figure who, among billions of God Emperors, is among the top 100 in terms of the probability of achieving the Primordial Chaos Realm!
“The Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan…” Cao Ya murmured. The Thousand-Eyed Being and the Great Serpent Being were killed by “Yuan” and several lords working together.
Indeed, the Lord of Hunyuan surpassed the Ancestor of Hunyuan, but both were at the high level of the Seven Stars, existences standing at the pinnacle of the infinite Hunyuan space. Determining a winner might not be difficult, but determining life and death would be far more challenging...
Faced with the counterattack of these two Hunyuan ancestors, even "Yuan" was wounded!
Of course, there are examples of Hunyuan progenitors who have perished, but no Hunyuan lord has ever died out throughout history! Even if they were to besiege each other, they would never be able to kill a Hunyuan lord!
"According to the information in the original book, among the Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan, there was one who possessed a divine power of innate bloodline and was related to time and space."
"In terms of combat strength alone, he is not considered powerful among lord-level and progenitor-level beings; he was once killed."
"However, his supernatural powers are too abnormal. Even if he is reduced to ashes, or even if he shatters the entire void and crushes it into dust, causing chaos in all things and the collapse of all rules, he can still be resurrected and return after trillions of years, without any problems."
"Perhaps, only by collapsing the infinite primordial space and completely annihilating it will its talent become ineffective."
"But who can do that? Even if we assume that the lords and ancestors joined forces, they could easily sweep across the world and even destroy the universe, so why would they do such a thing? They would even lose their own place of refuge!"
The two progenitors of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range were not as troublesome as the progenitor with the talent for time and space.
However, in a real battle, with the presence of the Thousand Eyes and Orochi, there's a high probability they could defeat that progenitor!
But it was of little use in front of Lord Hunyuan. No matter how powerful the progenitor was, he was still inferior to the lord.
Therefore, after the rise of the Hunyuan lords, for the Hunyuan ancestors, improving their direct combat power was not the key; rather, strengthening their defense and expanding their survival trump cards was the crucial aspect.
"Even the weakest progenitor is a high-level seven-star being, a match for any non-world-class primordial life form!"
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. If it weren't for the fact that "breaking the law with force" was too difficult, he would really like to give it a try!
Of course, there are currently only eight Lords of Hunyuan. Dongbo Xueying has attained Dao, so there are only nine. The Hunyuan Ancestors have more, but at most there are only twenty or thirty. Even if you include the big shots from other factions, the overall number is not particularly large.
A world-class primordial life form is fully qualified to roam freely in the infinite primordial space and look down upon all directions.
Advanced Chaos Origin Life Forms are ultimately lacking; they are not as capable as World-Class Chaos Origin Life Forms, which possess the strength to venture across the ten directions.
Cao Ya pondered, "A world-class primordial life form, throughout history, has been attained by extremely few people!"
"Hoo." At this moment, Cao Ya looked around for a while, then gently flew up and landed on the black leaf.
The leaf is tough and seems indestructible, capable of supporting a world!
"Great God of Wind and Fire, how far can he get?" Supreme Lord Shifa stared intently.
The gods will also be watching.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating whether the Wind and Fire God can truly reach the limit!
"This pressure is indeed very strong," Cao Ya thought to himself. The pressure mainly affects the soul. Given his situation, with the support of various Great Daos and various extraordinary soul techniques, it would not be easy for him to weaken.
The other part, which also examines the soul, truly involves the deterrent power of magic, but it is very weak.
In this respect, practitioners have a considerable advantage over the dead race and the natives.
Cao Ya's trump cards are so numerous that even a perfected Emperor-level expert cannot compare.
Clearly, Cao Ya's pace of progress is not slow.
Before long, they reached the depths of Black Leaf Lake, not far from the giant black leaf flower.
"So fast???" On the shore, the Supreme Being Shifa and the generals were all taken aback.
The Wind and Fire God, given the power he had previously displayed, was able to pass through the outer and middle layers, which was not unexpected—it was just unclear how far he could go in the inner layers. But the speed he moved was still astonishing!
The Supreme Being Shifa asked himself, to reach that level, how long would it take him two or three times longer than that of the God of Wind and Fire!
"Perhaps he really can clear the level?!" Even the Supreme Being of the Shakya clan couldn't help but hold his breath.
And so, under the incredulous gazes of the Supreme Lord Shifa and the several divine generals, Cao Ya stepped onto the last black leaf flower with seemingly relaxed steps!
At that very moment, the black leaf flower burst forth with purple light, enveloping Cao Ya.
"Thousand-Eyed Water Droplets!"
Cao Ya's divine sense immediately locked onto a bright "dewdrop" inside the flower!
"Buzz." A mysterious aura flowed through Cao Ya, making him seem to see a terrifying scene.
That was within the boundless, dark, and infinitely vast primordial space, where the primordial energy surged. Even a God Emperor who lingered there for an extended period would be annihilated! Those below the level of a Cosmic God would be instantly killed!
Then, a colossal creature came into view. It was a very strange creature with thousands of pairs of eyes on its body. Some were gray, some were gold, and some were closed, so the color of the pupils was unknown.
Without a doubt, this is one of the two Primordial Ancestors who transformed into the Broken Tooth Mountain Range! He is the Thousand-Eyed Being!
If it were just this one creature, Cao Ya might not even have a real sense of it and wouldn't know just how big the Thousand Eyes' body really is!
But as the Thousand Eyes acted, suddenly, a complete source world was passed through by it.
In just a few breaths, the Thousand Eyes Existence crossed a Source World!
Its body length is one-tenth the size of the source world!
This is simply unbelievable. How did such a magnificent body come to be?
Cao Ya could tell that this was not some kind of supernatural power like "following the laws of heaven and earth".
Rather, it is the true form of the Thousand Eyes, which is of this size!
"The progenitor of Hunyuan!!!"
