As Cao Ya passed by the corpses of the star beasts, his divine sense could not extend too far due to the influence of a special power, as it was blocked by a mysterious fluctuation.
Afterwards, he ventured deep into the ocean and saw a giant octopus formed from numerous corpses and limbs, including the remains of a Great Sage and a Quasi-Emperor!
There are also many remains of saints whose lingering influence continues to affect the surrounding areas after their deaths.
Cao Ya easily passed the test, relying on his strength as a Daoist at the first level.
He finally crossed the vast Dead Sea and arrived at its bottom, where he found an ancient prehistoric battlefield. The Dead Sea floated above him, blocked by a mysterious force, preventing him from descending.
The two worlds, one above the other, are clearly distinct.
The ground was piled high with bones, all of which were the corpses of creatures from various races. Many of them were at the level of saints or above. Cao Ya even discovered the remains of a Great Saint!
However, Cao Ya did not linger there. He transformed into a streak of light and disappeared in an instant, arriving at the deepest part of the battlefield.
In this place, there is a magnificent palace, surrounded by many flesh and bones, but two corpses stand out, lying face down in front of the palace gate.
“Two quasi-emperors…” Cao Ya murmured, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Although quasi-emperors are powerful, the most unique thing about this place is not the remains of quasi-emperors, but rather..."
Cao Ya's expression was solemn, but his eyes shone brightly as he broke through the thick fog that shrouded the palace, revealing the scene inside.
Three severed arms, half a head, and scattered pieces of flesh and blood—judging from their aura, they did not belong to the same person.
Upon seeing this, Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat.
He could tell that the owner of the severed arm, head, and blood clots must be a master of the Imperial Path!
"As expected, the Undying Emperor slumbers here, occasionally venturing out to ambush and kill ancient emperors and great emperors in their later years, bathing in their blood and devouring their flesh—a cruel act indeed," Cao Ya muttered to himself.
He also knew that the last emperor of the Primordial Era—the Fighting Saint Emperor—had encountered the Undying Emperor's attack. The Fighting Saint Emperor blocked the attack and discovered the secret of the Undying Emperor's existence for millions of years. He was furious and then overturned the Undying Emperor's dojo.
Another human emperor from the ancient era, Taihuang, was also attacked in his later years.
There are many other ancient emperors and great rulers who encountered similar fates to the Fighting Saint Emperor and the Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, the so-called status of the Immortal Emperor as the supreme deity of antiquity is actually nonsense.
If this news were to spread, aside from anything else, the ancient royal families would absolutely no longer respect the Undying Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor's unparalleled power inspired fear, but his character was utterly despicable.
“The flesh and blood of imperial experts still retain the aura of imperial power. How could they have imagined that they would fall into such a miserable state in their later years when their blood and energy were declining?” Cao Ya sighed.
Then, Cao Ya's eyes shone with a divine light, piercing through the dark mist, and he saw an extremely shocking scene.
Above the palace, in the void, there was a blood-red fleshy ball, which also resembled a large cocoon. It was being pulled into a void portal, as if it were about to disappear from this world at any moment.
Behind that door, faintly visible, seemed to be an imperial bell, radiating immortal light, pulling at the fleshy ball.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.
"How is that possible? Isn't the Beginningless Bell in the Purple Mountain of the Big Dipper?" Cao Yatong's eyes suddenly tightened.
That huge bell was none other than the Wushi Bell!
It belongs to the weapon of the Great Emperor Wushi, who commands power over the nine heavens and ten earths!
But he clearly saw the Wushi Bell with his own eyes in Zishan!
"The Great Emperor Wushi forged two imperial bells?" Cao Ya frowned, observed carefully, and suddenly realized.
This Imperial Bell is not the actual Bell of No Beginning, but merely a projection.
"Although it is a projection, it still possesses some of the power of the Boundless Bell, far surpassing quasi-Emperor artifacts and not inferior to incomplete Emperor artifacts!"
Cao Ya examined it carefully and discerned some of the hidden details of the projection of the Boundless Bell.
"Behind the Emperor Bell, there is another powerful force maintaining it; otherwise, how could the projection of the Beginningless Bell possibly stand against the fleshy ball transformed from the Undying Emperor? It would be more likely if it were the real body!"
"Even if the Undying Emperor is in Nirvana, the power of such a being, who is infinitely close to the Immortal of the Mortal World, is unimaginable."
"No matter what, weapons are ultimately no match for living beings."
Cao Ya was absolutely certain that the blood-red fleshy ball was the Immortal Emperor in his Nirvana state.
"If I were to give him a really hard blow..." Cao Ya suddenly changed his mind, his hand resting on the Blue Gold Divine Sword, and he was actually quite eager to try.
"Sigh, I'll pass for now. If I provoke the Undying Emperor to revive, I'll be finished." Cao Ya muttered regretfully to himself, "With my strength, I'm still far from enough to seriously injure the Undying Emperor."
"What a pity, such a good opportunity is right in front of me, and I can only watch from the sidelines."
Cao Yaxi sighed. He said that although those who had attained enlightenment were powerful, they were still too weak in the face of the pinnacle existence of the [Covering the Sky] universe.
After years of confrontation with the Great Emperor Wushi, the Undying Emperor was greatly exhausted and voluntarily transformed into a ball of flesh, falling into a long period of Nirvana and entering a deep slumber. He was unable to take the initiative to attack, nor could he guard against malicious spying or attacks from outsiders.
This was a golden opportunity to severely injure the Immortal Emperor, or even kill him!
The problem is, Cao Ya doesn't have that power!
When the immortal emperor turned into a ball of flesh and entered nirvana, how could he not have considered this potential danger?
The fleshy ball has extremely strong defense and is very, very difficult to break through!
If such a divine power fluctuation were to occur, the Undying Emperor would be activated immediately and face the enemy head-on.
The Undying Emperor was confident that, throughout history, apart from a very few supreme beings, no other life form, not even the supreme beings of forbidden zones, could pose a threat to him.
Seeing that the Undying Emperor had not been revived, Cao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Holding the Blue Gold Divine Sword, she pondered how to help the Wushi Bell and send the flesh ball into the Crack World.
He could basically know for certain that the power that manipulated the projection of the Beginningless Bell behind the void portal originated from the Beginningless Emperor himself.
"Alas, the situation of the Great Emperor Wushi is not good either. In that world of rifts, there is already a being who is almost an immortal in the mortal realm who is his enemy," Cao Ya sighed.
Emperor Wushi was very strong, but his enemies were no weaker.
Whether it was the Immortal Emperor or the powerful beings of the interdimensional world, they all eventually became immortals of the mortal realm.
There is a vast region between the human universe and the celestial realm. Due to the influence of the celestial realm, it has received some of the longevity substances that have escaped from the celestial realm. As a result, the lifespan of the beings in that intervening world is much longer than that of the human universe.
After the Great Emperor Wushi entered the rift world, he obtained the longevity substance, which extended his lifespan. He continued his journey on the path of immortality in the mortal world and is about to become an immortal.
While dealing with formidable enemies in the rift world, he also had to consider the existence of the Immortal Emperor, intending to bring him into the rift world to deal with together, thus reducing the hidden dangers in the human universe.
Emperor Wushi acted in this way, fighting two powerful enemies alone and remaining steadfast and unyielding. He truly deserves to be called the emperor of the human race!
"Should we send the Immortal Emperor over there...?" Cao Ya hesitated.
Sending this fleshy ball over would trigger the Undying Emperor's awakening, leading him to unite with powerful figures from the rift world to jointly attack the Great Emperor Wushi...
Even the Great Emperor Wushi can be in danger!

Suddenly, the projection of the Boundless Bell trembled slightly, and a gentle wave of bell energy rippled outwards. It did not disturb the fleshy ball, but it transmitted a thought to Cao Ya.
