"Damn Emperor Yi Bo! Without his restrictions, Ah Chou and I would have run away long ago when we saw the situation was bad... And that foolish Wine Saint, is he out of his mind? Why didn't he take action to deal with the great enemy when he had such a good opportunity? Instead, he waited for Daoist Ming Guang to spend a long time cultivating and become even stronger, so that he could sweep across the world?"
The remaining humanoid figure of the Lord of the Dream Sect couldn't help but curse loudly, and Emperor Yi Bo, the Wine Saint, as well as Palace Master Li Xing, Daoist Xiao Meng, King of Light, and others were all cursed.
However, he overlooked the fact that figures like the Wine Saint were indeed not aligned with Cao Ya's camp, and were even hostile!
But how could Daoist Ke Xiaomeng, Ji Ning, and the others sit idly by and watch others go and kill Cao Ya?
Besides, the Wine Saint and Palace Master Li Xing are not on the same side as the Lord of Sui Meng and the Ugly King.
Perhaps figures like the King of Light are arrogant, despise the weak, and act domineeringly, but they generally don't indiscriminately kill innocent people. Compared to pure demons like the Lord of Dreams, they have much more of a bottom line.
"Daoist Mingguang, you will surely perish one day, and I await that day!"
"Your attempt to achieve enlightenment will absolutely fail; it will never succeed!"
With his last remaining strength, the leader of the Sui Meng Cult unleashed a vicious curse, which, following some causal secret, swirled toward Cao Ya.
"At your peak, you joined forces with the Ugly King and were still killed by me. You think you can turn the world upside down with a little bit of residual magic power?"
Cao Ya raised his hand and flicked his finger. As if it were real, a cyclical Dharma aura circled around Cao Ya, shattering the curse and vanishing into thin air.
"Ah!!" The humanoid light and shadow of the Lord of Dreams continued to disintegrate, yet still let out an unwilling roar.
Finally, only the snow-white flowers remained on the spot. The Master of the Dream Sect had vanished without a trace, his life force extinguished.
He left behind neither magical treasures nor a broken body or divine form. Even the snow-white flowers withered and disappeared into the depths of nothingness due to the exhaustion of their energy.
Given that the final outcome was already predetermined, the leader of the Sui Meng Cult naturally didn't want to benefit Cao Ya.
Only a very few insignificant items ended up in Cao Ya's hands.
"Bang!" The torrent of laws swept through, and everything collapsed, turning into primordial cosmic energy that merged into the Niwan Palace world.
Above the eighth level of the Yi Bo Realm, Cao Ya opened his eyes, retracted his power, and there were no longer any traces of his two opponents.
All the heroes from all directions were completely dumbfounded.
"The Lord of Suimeng and the Ugly King, ranked sixth and nineteenth on the list respectively, along with various rare items, including many at the level of Holy City Lords, were actually slaughtered by Daoist Mingguang alone when they joined forces?"
All the Dao Lords were in an uproar, staring at Cao Ya with horrified expressions!
In particular, the power that Cao Ya displayed was not only numerous, but also fierce and mysterious!
Such talent is unparalleled throughout history, and considering the age of Daoist Mingguang, who wouldn't be awestruck?!
"My true rival!" The Wine Saint's eyes sharpened, his drunkenness vanished, and he was eager to test his skills.
He even asked himself honestly, without the treasures of the universe, he was afraid he might not be able to defeat Daoist Mingguang!
"Another formidable rival! The realm is vast, with countless chaotic worlds and chaotic stars, and so many talented young women! It is precisely in such a wonderful world that we have the stage!"
Palace Master Li Xing whispered, his sword intent hidden within him, still being nurtured. The day it erupts will surely shock the entire universe!
“Daoist Mingguang… even if you cultivate so many laws and become abnormally strong, I will still reach the pinnacle of the Path of Light, and then… surpass you!” King of Light’s face was solemn, and his eyes revealed his fighting spirit.
Although he knew very well that he was no match for Dao Lord Mingguang, as the former third Dao Lord and now the fifth Dao Lord, he was unanimously recognized by the entire domain as the "fastest" Dao Lord of Life and Death, and was highly praised. King Guangming had his own pride!
"Besides the 'Mingguang Dao', Dao Lord Mingguang has mastered far too many laws!"
"He even has a world that's a master of mental power!"
"Whether in close combat or ranged combat, Dao Lord Mingguang is flawless and incomparably powerful!"
All the experts, including Tianfu Daojun and Ge Que Wang, were terrified.
This is a Heaven-Defying Dao Lord who is far more terrifying than Palace Master Li Xing, Dao Lord Xiao Meng, and King of Light!
Only the Wine Saint can be compared to him, and that's only because the Wine Saint obtained a cosmic treasure. Otherwise, even if the Wine Saint had sat on the throne of the first Dao Lord for tens of thousands of Chaos Eras, it would have to be replaced.
They figured that even if three or five of the most powerful Dao Lords joined forces, they would be courting death in front of Dao Lord Mingguang!
“In the past, only one such super prodigy would appear every two or three eras, but now there are two standing side by side… Tsk tsk, this is going to be a good show.”
The heroes sighed, realizing that no matter how proud they were of their comprehension, how they traversed the universe, and how they dominated their territories, they inevitably paled in comparison to a true monstrous Dao Lord.
They held Mingguang Daojun in awe and were extremely wary of him!
"Haha, truly impressive! After I defeat Palace Master Li Xing, my next target will be Dao Lord Ming Guang!" Dao Lord Xiao Meng's eyes shone brightly. He had always been low-key and had no reputation before his emergence in the Yi Bo Realm. All he cared about was achieving Dao Integration!
His first public display of skill was defeating the King of Light and securing fourth place!
The top three Dao Lords are all targets of Dao Lord Xiaomeng, and of course, the Dongming Jade Talisman is one of them as well.
The effects of the Jade Talisman of Penetrating the Netherworld are perfect for Dao Lords of the second level and below, but they cannot be fully deduced for the most powerful Dao Lords, and thus have shortcomings.
Xiaomeng Daojun felt that even if he obtained a Dongming Jade Talisman, he should still challenge the top three Daojuns again to completely merge that evil blood blade with himself, so as to deeply understand the eternal meaning and increase the probability of merging with the Dao!
"With another such terrifying and heaven-defying Dao Lord, our chances of seizing the Dongming Jade Talisman are even slimmer." The Nine Dust Sect Master shook his head, admiring Dao Lord Mingguang's abilities, but also feeling helpless. It seemed that they had no chance of getting the Dao-Merging Treasure left behind by Emperor Yibo.
"There are too many powerful beings!" Heavenly Dao Lord sighed, somewhat annoyed. Emperor Yi Bo's contingency plan had really screwed him over. Otherwise, if he had obtained a Dongming Jade Talisman and achieved eternity first, who would have been able to compete with these monstrous talents?
As a top-tier Dao Lord with a relatively strong Dao, comparing himself to other heroes is tantamount to suicide!
"Your talent is astonishing, and your cultivation is incredibly fast." Daoist Da Mo admired him. No matter how difficult his path of deduction was, it was still easier than the path of Daoist Ming Guang, who had so many laws!
However, he was only at the third step, while the other party was already on the verge of becoming a Daoist. Moreover, in terms of age, Daoist Da Mo was much older than him!
"How wonderful it would be if there were such a prodigy in my clan," said Daoist Laiya with great envy.
Even if it cannot last forever, it is enough to protect the Star River Clan for 108,000 Chaos Eras!
As everyone knows, Daoist Mingguang is only a little over a trillion years old, which is not even a single Chaos Era.
Such Dao Lords surpass many Emperors, and are even slightly inferior to those at the threshold of Holy City Lord or ordinary Holy City Lord.
Before Daoist Mingguang, there were only the three Sovereigns, and a small number of peak and top-tier Holy City Lords.
"This is the kind of person I should emulate!" Ji Ning exclaimed excitedly, both for Mingguang Daojun's victory and for his own future!
To be honest, he has no confidence in achieving the Dao, but if he could be like the Wine Saint or the Bright Light Dao Lord, suppressing an era, few in history could compare, and thus his name would be remembered for eternity and renowned for all time.
At the same time, this sensational news spread throughout the realm through the connection between the powerful beings and the Dharma Body, and also made the Dao Lords of the first seven realms aware of the dramatic changes in the eighth realm!
Immediately, countless Dao Lords were both excited and terrified. Even the most powerful among them could not escape, so how could the rest possibly survive under the hands of Dao Lord Mingguang? They could only hope that he had no intention of killing them!
They even believed that before the Wine Saint's time was up, Daoist Mingguang had a great chance of surpassing him. Even with the treasures of the universe by his side, the Wine Saint was still at risk of defeat!
Even the distant Dao Alliance Immortal Palace was stunned by Cao Ya's achievements.
The Yi Bo Realm is currently in turmoil, attracting the attention of the entire domain.
Among them were many experts from the Dao Alliance, such as Daoist Xiaomeng. They entered the main body of the Yi Bo Realm and communicated with their Dharma bodies left behind in their lair. Any news they received was immediately shared.
Naturally, all the battle situations were known to the higher-ups of the Dao Alliance and were recorded, so they were ready to adjust the rankings at any time.
Deep within the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, an immortal bridge soars into the sky, seemingly transcending life and death, and towering above all paths.
An elderly man in a black robe and with black hair was sitting and drinking with a blond, bald foreigner.
The latter is Emperor Jinyu, who had met Cao Ya once and joined forces with him to almost kill Emperor Qiyin of the Eternal Clan. He is also one of the leaders of the Dao Alliance in the present era and is at the peak of the Holy City Lord!
The other person is naturally the Black Cloud Emperor, whose strength is similar to that of the Golden Isle Emperor, and whose current duties are the same.
The vast Dao Alliance certainly has more than just two peak Holy City Lords. Among the cities under its command, the eight most famous Holy Cities each have their own masters, and their power is not weak. Not to mention the number one Dao Alliance member, Qing Shi Dao Ren. Other old monsters from previous generations have all gone into seclusion, and their fame has not been known for millions of Chaos Eras.
"Brother Heiyun, I told you, this Mingguang is even more powerful than your disciple, isn't he?" Emperor Jinyu said with a smile.
"The realm is boundless, and who knows how many races and beings exist within it? The emergence of unimaginable geniuses is astonishing, but not entirely impossible."
Emperor Heiyun sighed, compared with his disciple, Daoist Xiaomeng, Daoist Mingguang was superior in both melee and ranged combat!
"That world... is somewhat different from the world of the master of mental power. It is smaller in area, but more solid." Emperor Black Cloud clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Haha, to be favored by the Black Emperor, one of the three ancient star lords of the other universe, Mingguang's background is probably beyond our imagination." Emperor Jinyu laughed.
The Black Cloud Emperor also smiled. Ordinary people might not know about this alien universe that destroyed the Divine Court's rule, but they certainly knew its true identity.
Those three ancient star lords are all rulers!
Not just any character can be valued by the Overlord.
In places like the Flame Dragon Domain, the Dark Orchid Ruler of the ancient cultivator clan and the Wind and Rain Ruler of the special life clan only focus on cultivating the geniuses of their own clan.
Only the ruler of Mangya Kingdom, due to the scarcity of Chaos Divine Beasts, plunders geniuses from various Dao Alliances, recruits them into Mangya Kingdom, and cultivates them to enhance the strength of Mangya Kingdom.
Although they were forcibly taken away, the ruler of Mangya Kingdom did not act recklessly and was careful with the number of people to avoid provoking the Dao Alliance.
The territory of the Dao Alliance is extremely vast, encompassing a great many different ethnic groups.
What it has in abundance is geniuses from all walks of life. Moreover, Mangya Kingdom and Dao Alliance are on good terms and have no conflict of interest. Dao Alliance is happy to see these geniuses receive training from Mangya Kingdom.
"My disciple is somewhat unbalanced; he excels in combat, but his defense and speed are not quite as outstanding."
Emperor Heiyun commented: "Even if Xiaomeng has a unique blood blade, she is still slightly inferior to Mingguang in terms of her most proficient attack. In other abilities, she is far behind."
As he spoke, even the Black Cloud Emperor was amazed. He had carefully cultivated his disciple and thought he was one of the most outstanding in the world. Who would have thought that a Daoist named Bright Light would emerge in a remote and small territory!
“Even the Wine Saint of yesteryear was not as powerful as Mingguang,” said Emperor Jinyu.
The Black Cloud Emperor nodded. The Wine Saint primarily cultivates darkness, with mental power as a secondary cultivation method. He possesses numerous magical treasures and profound martial arts techniques, but compared to the Bright Light, he is inferior in both cultivation progress and the diversity of laws.
"If we hadn't obtained that cosmic treasure during the adventure, the Wine Saint would have had to relinquish his number one position." Emperor Black Cloud sighed. It was quite regrettable that the throne of number one had been occupied by the dark kingdom from outside.
"In fact, not only Mingguang, but also that little guy named Beiming, who belongs to Mangya Kingdom, is young and powerful."
Emperor Jinyu laughed heartily. The Dao Alliance's dominant position has never been a concern. The Mangya Kingdom, ancient cultivators, special life forms, the Dark Kingdom, and the Eternal Clan all have this problem. If there is a continuous lack of successors for several eras, they are very likely to fall.
The Dao Alliance, which embraces so many beings, would never have such a hidden danger.
For this reason, the other five families often offered words of advice to the emperor who left the realm and wandered into the boundless darkness.
Only the Dao Alliance turned a blind eye, and sometimes even provided intelligence, all of which were remnants of the adventures of their predecessors.
Even with so many emperors gone, the Dao Alliance remains the strongest, with the number of Holy City Lords far exceeding that of the other five!
The number one expert in the Dao Alliance, Qing Shi Dao Ren, possesses a second primordial spirit with special opportunities, making him no less powerful than an ordinary ruler!
This is based on the premise that experts who left, such as Emperor Yi Bo, have not returned. Otherwise, several Dao Alliance rulers could have emerged!
Basically, the Dao Alliance, ancient cultivators, special life forms, and Mangya Kingdom all have rulers.
The Eternal Clan relies on the ancient treasure—the Eternal Kingdom—to protect their ancestral lands and maintain their powerful status.
The Dark Kingdom, being the surviving inhabitants of a certain realm after its destruction, naturally possesses unfathomable wonders. The number of its emperors is not small, though it cannot compare to that of the Dao Alliance.
When cultivators of the Dao Alliance join other forces, the Immortal Palace generally does not interfere and is very lenient.
The Dao Alliance doesn't care about the Mangya Kingdom, ancient cultivators, or special life forms as long as they are willing to accept them. However, the Immortal Palace rejects, and even antagonizes, the Dark Kingdom and the Eternal Clan!
"This list needs to be changed again. The Master of Dreams, the Ugly King, and a few others are gone."
Emperor Jinyu took out a golden book and exclaimed, "In the last million years, the number of times the rankings have been changed is more than in the past ten thousand chaotic eras!"
"Times are changing. You and I have witnessed countless chaotic eras, hundreds of thousands of eras. It seems that there has never been one that can compare with the present. However, in the ancient times, when there was no war, a similar situation occurred."
Emperor Heiyun shook his head, feeling fortunate. He was, after all, a second-level Dao Lord of Eternity, the peak of the Holy City Lord. No matter how monstrous a Dao Lord was, he could no longer threaten him.
"I only hope that my Dao Alliance can have a few more Dao Lords of Life and Death, and achieve eternal success!"
