"That's... a projection?"
Within the ancestral temple of the seventeenth century, Kaihuang, Yun Tianzun, You Tianzun, Taishi, Shujun, as well as Yue Tianzun, Langwan Shenwang, and others, suddenly felt puzzled.
Even Qin Mu showed a hint of doubt.
What is Cao Yatianzun doing?
Not only them, but all the enlightened beings of various eras were very confused.
Countless heroes looked on, only to see that after Cao Yatian Venerable killed the Third Young Master Ling Xiao and others with a single slap, his figure flickered and a projection appeared on the spot, while his true self continued to advance towards the fifteenth era!
Those projections remained in the sixteenth century, sitting cross-legged in place, their robes fluttering, seemingly transcending the Five Elements and Three Realms, and not existing in the universe.
At this moment, the eldest son, Taishang, the fourth son, Zixiao, Wuya Laoren, Kaitian Zhong, and other experts were all bewildered.
"What is Cao Yatianzun trying to do by leaving behind his own illusory image?"
"Besides, how much of the original body's power can a shadow possess? And what can it possibly do?"
Of course, despite saying that, no one dared to provoke the tiger.
Cao Yatianzun will definitely return to the 17th century!
"Could this be his attempt to resolve the ultimate loneliness?" The eldest son, Taishang, pondered.
Inside the Miro Palace, to be honest, his strength surpassed that of the other young masters.
It's quite simple. The two great calamities of the transition between eras, the calamity of destruction, can basically be overcome by those who have attained the Dao. But the calamity of creation that follows... is something that even the young masters avoid like the plague!
According to clear records, the two people who were able to survive two major tribulations were the master of the Mi Luo Palace and the eldest son.
However, by observing the future, they discovered that at the end of the Seventeenth Era, an incredible catastrophe occurred, engulfing heaven and earth, annihilating time and space, and disintegrating the Great Dao... Since the beginning of the era, the master and disciple had made various attempts, but all of them failed.
In despair, the master of the Mi Luo Palace shattered his Dao heart and directly transformed himself into the Dao. The eldest son, Taishang, was also heartbroken and no longer cared about anything, not even the development of the Mi Luo Palace.
On the contrary, those who were slightly weaker and could not see a long future were not affected much.
Although they were aware of the existence of Ultimate Silence, they lacked a real sense of reality because they had not witnessed the horror of this calamity.
Standing in prehistory, gazing into the seventeenth century, we must also witness the end of everything…
To achieve this, the required skill level is extremely high.
Not even an ordinary young master would do!
Besides the master of the Mi Luo Palace and the eldest son, the Supreme Lord, there is only the Lord of the Heavenly Capital.
They have pondered the ultimate solitude extensively, and in the new era, they often explore ways to avoid the dual calamities of birth and death. Only after achieving this are they qualified to discuss how to break free from the final tribulation.
And the final answer... is obvious from the fates of the three.
"We've been focusing our efforts on the calamities of birth and death... but it seems we've overlooked whether this is truly connected to ultimate desolation?!"
"Ultimate annihilation originated from the beginning, and only took shape after evolving through countless eras..."
The eldest son, Taishang, realized that he had grasped Cao Yatianzun's line of thinking, which was indeed a good consideration, unlike them who had fallen into a cognitive trap.
"So, Venerable Cao Ya, can he succeed?" Inside a thatched hut made of endless runes, the eldest son, Tai Shang, looked at the Chaos River with expectant eyes.
In an even more ancient era, the master of the Miro Palace also considered this point, his eyes filled with hope.
The ruler of Tiandu, however, did not seem to have many feelings about it.
He believed that with his own abilities and those of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Openers, as long as they studied the universe and the heavens and earth for several more eras, they would surely succeed!
Therefore, the person he feared most was the master of the Mi Luo Palace, whom he had once studied under.
Because their ideologies are now very different!
"Clap clap." Cao Ya traveled through time, leaving a projection in each era he passed through, which then fell into the universe.
The fifteenth, fourteenth, thirteenth, twelfth... Soon, he arrived at the seventh era!
"Now!" Suddenly, the city of Tiandu erupted in chaos. Led by the Lord of Tiandu, thirty-five members of the Kaitian Clan attacked in unison.
Only Ling Tianzun remained rooted to the spot, not making a move.
She and Cao Ya looked at each other, but she didn't see any solemnity or caution on Cao Ya's face. He was still so calm and composed, as if the sudden uprising in Tiandu City was nothing to worry about.
Immediately, Ling Tianzun felt relieved, knowing that Cao Ya was confident of victory.
Taiyi, hidden in the shadows, also smiled, pleased to see his past life suffer a setback.
"Cao Yatian Venerable, surrender! Otherwise, you will only face death!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Capital roared, his voice majestic and holy, possessing an unparalleled air of authority.
In other eras, he may have lacked certain great powers and authority.
However, in the Seventh Era, with the assistance of the Creators, and having taken control of the rules of heaven and earth...
The Lord of Tiandu thought to himself that even if the Master of the Mi Luo Palace were to arrive, he could suppress him, let alone Cao Ya Tianzun!
This person's previous performance was indeed fierce, but at most, he was only about the same as the master of the Mi Luo Palace. If Tian Du City went all out, it should be a sure thing!
"Tian Du, he has already gone mad with demonic possession." The master of Mi Luo Palace shook his head and sighed.
The Lord of Tiandu is the ancient god of Taiji from the Third Era, and I received his teachings.
Later, they parted ways, and the master of the Miro Palace had no objections.
After all, every enlightened being is different.
But the actions of Tiandu City, which had plunged the entire Seventh Era into such chaos, were intolerable to him.
He had already warned him twice, and decided to go and warn him again later. If he still didn't listen...
When the time comes to strike, the master of the Miro Palace will not hesitate to act without mercy.
As for the outcome of this battle... the master of the Miro Palace doesn't think Tiandu City can win!
"Boom!!!" In an instant, the universe of the Seventh Era and the infinite divine laws trembled.
The alliance between the Lord of Heaven and the Creators ignited the energy of heaven and earth, and countless Great Daos responded!
This was their ultimate technique, which allowed them to dominate the universe and completely suppress the most powerful Miro Palace in previous eras, gaining the upper hand.
They even believed that once this move was made, the master of the Miro Palace would have to offer his neck for execution!
"Cao Yatian Venerable, you still have a choice! Tell me your answer!"
The Lord of Heaven and the thirty-five Heavenly Creators stood atop the firmament, surrounded by myriad laws and radiating divine light, illuminating the past, present, and future, astonishing all directions.
The Lord of Tiandu remained indifferent to Ling Tianzun's inaction.
Ling's origins are quite unique, even the Lord of Tiandu couldn't quite understand them.
Moreover, even without Ling, Tiandu City alone could sweep across the entire realm!
"We cannot know our situation in the future because of the obscurity of the Great Dao."
"But in the Seventh Age, it was undoubtedly the greatest of all time!"
"If the master of the Miro Palace dares to show himself, he will also perish!"
"You think you can compare to the master of the Mi Luo Palace?"
The Lord of Tiandu was extremely arrogant, and the thirty-five Open Heaven Clan members were also high above, looking down on all living beings.
It's so embarrassing, I can't bear to look. How could he be so stupid? Was he out of his mind?
Ling Tianzun secretly shook his head. The strength of the master of Mi Luo Palace was beyond imagination. The powerful figures of Tiandu City were still somewhat arrogant.
On the contrary, the enlightened beings of the various eras sensed the anomaly of the Seventh Era. That supreme magical power shocked everyone!
"Hiss!!" The heroes of the two holy lands, the Miro Palace and the World Tree, all felt their hair stand on end!
The people of the Seventeenth Era's Yankang Heavenly Court also tensed up.
Qin Mu alone appeared relaxed, because he knew that Taiyi and Ling Tianzun were both there!
Furthermore, can Tiandu City truly defeat Cao Ya Tianzun?
At this moment, Cao Ya, who had entered the seventh era, heard the words of the Lord of Tiandu and couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that everyone underestimated the power of the master of the Miro Palace."
Cao Ya sighed, “The master of the Mi Luo Palace made a vow to save all living beings throughout the ages and dispel the ultimate desolation. Although he ultimately failed, he traveled through more than a dozen eras to spread the teachings and expound the Dharma. His merits are higher than the heavens!”
This person, who was the number one in the universe in the past, rarely made a move. Therefore, people knew he was powerful, but they did not know just how powerful he was!
They usually adjust the price by one or two levels based on their own capabilities.
But this overestimates their own abilities and belittles the master of the Miro Palace.
Without exaggeration, if the Master of the Mi Luo Palace were willing, even if all the Dao-realizing beings of the sixteen eras, including the top powerhouses like the Young Master of the Mi Luo Palace, the Old Man of Boundless Space, and the Lord of Heavenly Capital, joined forces to besiege the Master of the Mi Luo Palace, they would most likely be wiped out!
The Seventh Prince's Chaos, also known as Qin Mu, even after traversing countless eras and finally achieving the Dao of Chaos, is still slightly inferior to the Master of the Mi Luo Palace. He still needs hundreds of billions of years of refinement to surpass him.
Otherwise, why would Cao Ya wait until now to set off, venturing into the River of Chaos, and prepare to resolve the ultimate solitude?
Even such an outstanding master of the Miro Palace was helpless, which shows how terrifying the ultimate coldness is!
"So, your choice is to refuse." The Lord of Tiandu's face turned cold.
"Boom!" The thirty-five Heavenly Creators, having sorted out the laws of the Seventh Era, empowered the Lord of Heaven.
For a time, the Lord of the Heavenly Capital seemed to be the Lord of the Heavenly Dao, protected by all laws, and was the emperor among gods!
He slammed his hands out, shattering the void. The Great Dao wailed, and world after world collapsed. The Chaotic River, at the juncture of the Seventh Era, seemed on the verge of destruction.
"It's at the level of a six-star advanced level." Cao Ya nodded to himself.
The Lord of Tiandu is stronger than the Third Prince Lingxiao. In the Seventh Era, with the assistance of the Creators, the Great Dao of the entire world is under the Lord of Tiandu's control. Under this unification, the power he can unleash is undoubtedly more terrifying than that of the Third Prince before!
But the problem is, what challenge is a newly ascended six-star advanced level to Cao Ya now?!
Even ordinary peak six-star beings can be easily suppressed, let alone advanced six-star beings.
"Bang." Cao Ya's movements were still simple and clear. He clenched his right fist, and the artistic conception of "Great Sun Tathagata Fist", "Origin God Fist" and "Thirty-Three Heavens Creation God Fist" burst forth, intertwined with all kinds of profound mysteries, unfathomable.
"Swoosh!" The fist's energy burst forth, unmatched, directly shattering all the laws of nature and grinding them into powder.
The vast Seventh Era seemed to tremble and almost collapse under this fist!
"Ah..." The Lord of Tiandu and the thirty-five Open Heaven Clan members were crushed by that fist energy in an incomprehensible way.
As expected, Cao Ya's divine fist smashed and shattered Tiandu City on the spot!
What was once an arrogance now seems utterly absurd.
"What?!" All the experts were shocked. How could that Cao Ya Heavenly Venerable kill people so easily... His opponents were the Third Young Master Ling Xiao, the Lord of Tiandu, and others!
Even the people of Yankang Heavenly Court couldn't help but blink, looking somewhat confused.
"Hoo." In the Seventh Era, Ling Tianzun flicked his sleeve and took away the dim true spirit of the Lord of Tiandu.
Out of consideration for Taiyi, Cao Ya did not completely kill the Lord of Tiandu.
However, the Kaitian Clan was completely wiped out.
Immediately, in the subsequent eras, all those who created the heavens were affected.
Fortunately, due to the barrier of time and their extraordinary abilities, they managed to stabilize the situation and prevent any part of the land from being destroyed.
However, they were already terrified by Cao Yatianzun's strength.
In fact, it's impossible to even fathom how profound Cao Yatianzun's foundation truly is!
"He brought it on himself," Taiyi said, nodding as he noticed Cao Ya's gaze.
Taiyi wasn't surprised that Cao Ya had seen through his disguise.
Just as he never believed he could keep it from the master of the Miro Palace.
Ling Tianzun had no objection to Ling Tianzun's act of taking away his soul from his previous life.
After all, the fact that he was able to go ashore in the seventeenth era, abandon his past, become Taiyi, and start anew was the work of Ling Tianzun.
"However, this time, the destruction of Tiandu City was orchestrated by Cao Ya..."
Taiyi rubbed his forehead. Could this cause an anomaly in the continuation of the timeline?
But the fact that Zhu Ji still exists perfectly makes Taiyi wonder if he is being too cautious.
"The master of the Miro Palace".
After Cao Ya destroyed Tiandu City, his gaze fell upon the Mi Luo Palace in Yujing City of this world.
"Cao Yatian Venerable".
The master of the Miro Palace smiled and spoke with great satisfaction, for a super strong person would rise in the future.
"It's a pity you perished in the Sixteenth Era," Cao Ya sighed.
Upon hearing this, the master of the Miro Palace fell silent for a while before finally saying, "The problem of ultimate desolation can only be solved by you. I wish you success."
Cao Ya nodded. Since he had taken action, it meant he was confident.
After all, this [Shepherd's Chronicle] universe is only six-star, not seven-star.
If he were a beginner-level Seven Star, he could dispel the ultimate coldness with just a wave of his hand.
Now, it takes time and hard work to plan and strategize.
"You were the strongest being in the past universe, an existence that surpassed everything!"
"Even the seventh young master of the Mi Luo Palace, after attaining enlightenment through chaos, would need a very long time to surpass you."
"As for others... whether it's the eldest son, Taishang, the second son, Wuji, the third son, Lingxiao, the fourth son, Zixiao, or even great supernatural beings like the Boundless Elder and the Lord of Tiandu, there is almost no possibility of them surpassing you!"
Cao Ya was very impressed. The abilities of the master of the Mi Luo Palace were already at the limit of the advanced six-star level. With such an understanding of the universe, it was quite normal for him to display power equivalent to the peak of the six-star level in the world of [The Shepherd of Gods].
If this were a seven-star universe, the master of the Miro Palace would probably have already achieved seven-star status...
Cao Ya sighed, another hero whose potential was wasted by the world!
"You want to spar with me?" Upon hearing this, the master of the Miro Palace laughed.
"Haha, if you're willing, I have no objection," Cao Yalang laughed.
"I'm also quite eager to try," said the master of the Miro Palace, his tone filled with delight. "I'm really looking forward to seeing if you can defeat me!"
Unlike others, the master of the Mi Luo Palace couldn't be happier than Cao Ya becoming stronger!
Only in this way can we hope to overcome ultimate desolation.
"please."
Cao Ya gestured for the master of the Mi Luo Palace to attack first.
This scene caused the eyelids of all the experts in the series to twitch.
The people of the Miro Palace, in particular, felt a surge of anger!
