“The calamity of darkness…” Cao Ya’s heart was heavy.
The state of the Corpse Immortal Emperor also reveals the terrifying nature of the source of the strangeness.
A mere drop of black blood, falling down, actually severely injured a supreme seven-star Immortal Emperor. Unable to dodge, he was corrupted and nearly died, and has not yet been resurrected.
"Fortunately, the strange threat is not urgent, and there is still a long time to think about countermeasures, strengthen ourselves, and increase our strength."
Cao Ya pulled himself together and muttered to himself, "The most urgent task is to purge the traitors and then rush to the borderlands to fight the enemy in foreign lands!"
"That is the most pressing crisis in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
The nine dragons of the Wang family all sneered when they heard those last words.
Wang San sneered, "Cao Ya, you should think about how to protect yourself first."
Wang Si's eyes were cold as he said, "Today is an unprecedented disgrace for my Wang family. Such a great humiliation can only be washed away with blood!"
Wang Da, Wang Er, Wang Wu, Wang Liu, and Wang Qi were all filled with murderous intent, their eyes fierce as they stared intently at Cao Ya, seemingly ready to strike at any moment and deliver a fatal blow.
The Wang family of the Longevity Clan is the strongest among all the longevity families, surpassing even the Jin family and the Feng family.
Having dominated the boundless heavens and traversed the nine heavens and ten earths for countless years, a situation like today was truly unprecedented. It infuriated them, leaving them feeling both enraged and aggrieved, wishing they could devour Cao Ya's flesh and blood!
Wang Jiu's attention was not on Cao Ya.
At the same time as Cao Ya arrived at the Wang family's territory, there was also a Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy.
Among the nine brothers, Wang Jiu is rumored to be the strongest.
However, to Wang Jiu's surprise, Meng Tianzheng stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of making a move.
A hint of confusion flickered in Wang Jiu's eyes, but he dared not slacken his vigilance in the slightest.
The other eight brothers went to deal with the World Dao Ancestor, leaving only him to guard against Meng Tianzheng. This pressure was immense.
Meng Tianzheng noticed the wariness of the ninth son of the Wang family, smiled and said, "My opponent is your father—Wang Changsheng. I will not make a move unless he shows up."
Wang Jiu's face darkened. Meng Tianzheng's words clearly showed that he looked down on them.
"Old fool, don't be so arrogant. You are indeed powerful, but without Cao Ya, all nine of us brothers together would be invincible and could definitely suppress you!" Wang Jiu said in a cold voice.
Meng Tianzheng raised an eyebrow, too lazy to answer.
He is an invincible Supreme Realm expert who rivals Wang Changsheng. If he were to argue with Wang Changsheng's own son like he was cursing in the street, wouldn't that be beneath his dignity?
Moreover, the strength of those who can achieve the title of "invincible" at the pinnacle of humanity, whether it is him, Wang Changsheng, or other powerful figures in history, can only be truly understood by themselves and other experts of the same level. No matter how much is said, it is still difficult to comprehend until one has reached this level.
Although Wang Jiu is strong, he is still far from being as good as Meng Tianzheng.
If Wang Changsheng were in charge, it would be about the same.
As for Wang Changsheng's whereabouts, Meng Tianzheng could roughly guess.
It is very likely that they are going to find powerful figures in the Immortal Realm to leave a contingency plan for the Longevity Royal Family, in case the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths fall and the foreign realm betrays them in times of crisis, so that they can have a safe place to go.
If it were just this kind of action, neither Cao Ya nor Meng Tianzheng would have any objections. Survival is the instinct of any living being. Moreover, the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were allies in ancient times. In terms of history, they are not enemies.
However, many members of the Wang family colluded with foreign lands, which they could not tolerate.
Not to mention, the nine dragons of the Wang family are currently casting spells in secret, summoning dark creatures.
The dangers of darkness are even greater than those of other lands!
This applies not only to other major realms, but also to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In fact, apart from Cao Ya, none of the heroes from all realms know the root of the dark calamity.
If they knew, they would only feel more desperate, and most cultivators would probably have their Dao hearts collapse on the spot.
Thanks to Cao Ya, who possesses the cheat ability of a system space, he travels to many universes, each with its own mysterious powers, walking on different extraordinary systems, and some of them even pointing directly to the seven-star cultivation path.
Therefore, Cao Ya felt that there was still hope to repel the darkness, suppress the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and contend with the source of the strangeness, even if the chances were very slim, they were not zero.
Otherwise, the repressed feelings in Cao Ya's heart would probably increase a thousandfold!
Those few peak six-star quasi-immortal emperors were nothing compared to the Corpse Immortal Emperor and the source of the strange phenomenon.
"Make your move. Let me see what this secret technique you've been cultivating for millions of years really is."
Cao Ya had not yet launched a full-scale attack, waiting for the Wang brothers' so-called backup plan.
So far, there is no clear evidence of the bad deeds committed by these nine brothers, and they have been unable to be apprehended.
But once the dark creatures appear, it's a done deal.
Simply put, Cao Ya was engaging in entrapment.
Because he was absolutely certain that these nine brothers were connected to dark creatures.
The problem is that there is no evidence.
Even after Cao Ya broke through the protective formation of the Wang family's territory with a single move, they remained calm and fearless. It was obvious that besides Wang Changsheng, who must have received the message and was rushing back, they must have other trump cards.
Based on the original timeline, Cao Ya is absolutely certain that they are waiting for the arrival of the dark creatures!
In fact, Cao Ya was also waiting.
This led to an interesting scene.
They were locked in a fierce confrontation, their murderous aura surging through the heavens, yet neither of them rushed to attack, as if they were waiting for something.
"What does this mean?! Why aren't they making a move??" The cultivators from all directions looked at each other, wondering what the World Dao Ancestor and the nine brothers of the Wang family were up to.
Suddenly, the eighth son of the Wang family nodded and said to his brothers, "It's time to send this arrogant 'World Dao Ancestor' on his way!"
The other seven people, their eyes shining, burst into laughter.
Wang Dashen said, "Cao Ya, we will make you regret it, regret making trouble for my Changsheng Wang family!"
Wang Er's eyes were icy cold as he said, "If you kneel down now, admit your mistakes to us, and swear that you will immediately retreat hundreds of millions of miles away from where we appear, never to approach us again, as a sign of submission, perhaps we will be pleased and let you go, allowing you to lead the people of the Heavenly God Academy away. Otherwise..."
As he spoke, Wang Er chuckled coldly twice, the threatening tone of which was quite obvious.
Cao Ya sneered, "Wang Changsheng is back. He has to be cautious in front of me and doesn't dare to say such big words. Who do you think you are?"
Immediately, all nine dragons looked extremely grim.
“Cao Ya, even if you are the ‘Ancestor of the World’, you cannot humiliate my father,” Wang San shouted.
"Why waste words with him? Just take action and send him on his way. Let him understand what the consequences will be for offending the Changsheng Wang family!" Wang Si shouted.
"Anyone who offends the Wang family will be torn to pieces and their very soul destroyed!" Wang Wu said coldly. This was not only a declaration of war, but also a way to intimidate the onlookers and make them understand that the majesty of the Changsheng Wang family was not to be trifled with!
The Heavenly Horned Ant said indignantly, "They're so damn arrogant! Even in the ancient times, the True Dragon Clan and the Daoist temples of several Immortal Kings wouldn't be this arrogant. What kind of Wang family is this? Who do they think they are, daring to be so rampant and domineering?"
Both the Moon Rabbit and the Little Qilin were indignant.
"When the Wang family bullies others, they never think about how others feel." Shi Hao's eyes were deep and serious.
He felt that his strength at the Void Dao Realm was enough to be considered that of a sect leader in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, which was not weak.
However, in the Nine Heavens region, and the borderland imperial pass that we will inevitably visit soon, it is far from sufficient.
Let alone the illusory path, even cutting me and escaping one seem a bit weak.
Only those who reach the supreme realm can be considered top-tier.
However, everyone also noticed that even after the great formation was destroyed, the nine dragons of the Wang family were still so confident, as if victory was in their grasp and they were truly certain that they could suppress the World Dao Ancestor and repel the Grand Elder with the power of the brothers.
"Where does this confidence come from?" the group of cultivators wondered.
However, they knew that such a super expert would not have such an attitude if he did not have a definite trump card and the confidence to block the World Dao Ancestor.
Of course, as one of the most powerful families throughout history, it has produced an immortal ancestor who reached the limit of true immortality and became a quasi-immortal king.
No one was surprised that the Wang family had some trump card that transcended the realm of humanity and reached the level of immortality.
At the same time, they were also puzzled as to why the World Dao Ancestor was just watching and not taking any action!
"Let's do it!"
Suddenly, Wang's eighth son shouted, his hands forming a hand seal, and unleashed an unparalleled sword intent that pierced through the void with unparalleled sharpness. Its destructive power seemed capable of piercing through the entire world!
Wang Da, Wang Er, Wang San, and others all activated the "Pacifying Chaos Technique," a secret technique passed down by the Wang family's immortal ancestor. Through secret arts and combined divine power, they worked in perfect harmony to attack Cao Ya.
"The Sword Technique for Pacifying Chaos, one of the three most powerful sword techniques throughout history in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
Cao Ya's eyes lit up. This "Pacifying Chaos Technique" was, like the "Grass Character Sword Technique," hailed as one of the three most powerful sword techniques throughout history.
Unfortunately, the "Pacifying Chaos Technique" activated by the Wang brothers could not yet unleash the true power of this sword technique.
Perhaps, only if Wang Changsheng were in charge could this be truly demonstrated.
However, when these brothers joined forces, they did indeed reach the profound level of the Supreme Realm. Although they were not at the level of the Invincible Supreme, they were definitely not weak and could be considered as first-class experts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
After all, these individuals were all approaching the level of a Supreme Being, and it was quite normal for them to break through their current realm by joining forces.
In reality, Wang Jiu was on guard against Meng Tianzheng and had not yet made a move.
Otherwise, with the nine brothers working together, their secret technique would be perfect and flawless, and their combat power would rise to another level, approaching the level of an invincible supreme being!
Otherwise, where would they get such arrogant confidence?
Relying solely on dark creatures wouldn't be so foolish, because that would be like trying to get something from a tiger. Without formidable strength, how could one dare to do such a thing?!
Moreover, they have another trump card.
Wang Qi used his sword technique and at the same time threw out a scroll. With a whoosh, the scroll unfolded and lay horizontally in the void.
The ancient scroll is mottled and reveals the ancient atmosphere of the vicissitudes of time, but the figures in the painting are very young and show no signs of old age. At first glance, they look about sixteen or seventeen years old, like newly emerging young heroes, full of vigor and vitality.
“Wang Changsheng.” Cao Ya recognized the man. He had been in the Heavenly God Academy for a long time and had become the “World Dao Ancestor” for quite some time. Naturally, he had met Wang Changsheng, who was also in the Boundless Heaven.
"That's the Wang family's trump card?" People were surprised, but then they realized it made sense.
The portrait of the invincible supreme king, Wang Changsheng, is certainly not as good as the real person, but it has definitely reached the supreme level.
If they join forces with the nine dragons, they could probably withstand an attack from three or four ordinary supreme beings.
This is even without Wang Changsheng present!
This shows that the Changsheng Wang family is indeed abnormally strong, and can be regarded as a hegemonic power among all the Changsheng families.
However, facing Cao Ya, even if it were just a portrait of Wang Changsheng, or even if Wang Changsheng himself were present, he would not be able to threaten Cao Ya.
Even the most invincible supreme being is still within the realm of humanity and has not yet broken into the realm of immortality.
Cao Ya's current combat power is comparable to that of a top-tier True Immortal.
Cao Ya truly valued and considered the greatest enemy not to be in the Nine Heavens, but in the Three Thousand Provinces, one of the Ten Lands.
Meng Tianzheng's fighting spirit was slightly aroused, but he did not make a move.
He was also waiting. After a while, Wang Changsheng should be back soon, right?
"boom……"
The Wang Changsheng in the painting seems to know everything, unleashing his supreme aura, sweeping across the heavens and earth, suppressing the universe.
"World Dao Ancestor, you are an elder, why make things difficult for these juniors?" The person in the painting spoke, containing the essence and spirit that Wang Changsheng had specially left behind before leaving, possessing several tenths of the original body's magical power!
“Father…” The Wang brothers were somewhat dissatisfied.
The World Dao Ancestor is only so old, why should he be their elder?
"Shut up!" the figure in the painting shouted, his eyes cold.
In the path of cultivation, those who attain enlightenment come first. Having visited the Heavenly God Academy and met Meng Tianzheng and Cao Ya, he knew how formidable these two were. Even he himself was not confident that he could defeat either of them; he could only manage a draw.
In fact, there was a huge gap between him and Cao Ya, and his self-perceived equality was merely wishful thinking.
Because of Wang Changsheng's usual imposing manner, the nine dragons of the Wang family had gloomy faces, but they could not refute their father's words and could only accept it.
Besides physical strength, Wang Changsheng had also studied the Creation World Technique, and he felt inferior to him.
Wang Changsheng believed that Cao Ya, the "World Dao Ancestor" who pioneered this path of cultivation, should be the elder of all his disciples.
It's not an intentional exaggeration, but a genuine feeling.
That's indeed the case.
Leaving aside Cao Ya's hidden strength, just considering his overt contributions, no one after the Immortal Ancient Era can compare to Cao Ya.
Otherwise, how could the title "Ancestor of the World" be so widely accepted by all living beings?
"World Dao Ancestor, please give me some face. Whatever resources the Heavenly God Academy needs, I will make the decision, and the Wang family will do its utmost to provide them," the person in the painting said, taking the initiative to back down.
Both Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng are present; his return in his true form presents a formidable challenge.
However, most of the Wang family members looked dissatisfied, believing that the patriarch's move was too weak.
If it weren't for Wang Changsheng's immense prestige, there would probably have been an uproar on the spot.
They thought to themselves that the World Dao Ancestor was being resisted by nine dragons, while the Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng, the family head, could take over.
We don't need to win, a draw is enough.
This is a major setback for what the Heavenly God Academy is trying to accomplish.
Other immortal families will not stand idly by; upon hearing the news, they will also exert pressure.
At that time, it was the World Dao Ancestors and their ilk who would be caught in a dilemma.
"Father, you are indeed getting old."
The nine dragons exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly.
