Having understood Hongyu's meaning, the Earth Emperor fell silent.
Hongkun and Lizhu remained silent for a long while.
"You can't kill the Azure Cat."
After a while, when the celestial body streaked across the sky, crossed the sea, arrived at the shattered Primordial Martial Continent, and joined the battlefield to fight against the heroes of the Primordial Martial Realm, the Earth Emperor sighed softly and said:
"You don't really think that Ancestor Cao Ya is indifferent to this battle, do you?"
"There is probably only one existence in the history of the Three Realms who can create such an extremely powerful path of martial arts as the New Martial Arts!"
"The initial martial arts were created and developed by a group of heroes such as the Heavenly Emperor, Yang God, Divine Emperor, and Fighting Heavenly Emperor. It was not the work of one person."
"As for the Origin Martial Arts, it is said that the Heavenly Emperor created it—he did indeed make a great contribution, but as you all know, there was a seed behind it."
"Only that Cao Ya Dao Ancestor, without the machinations of an emperor or the favor of a seed, relied solely on himself to create a new martial art, which was promoted throughout the Three Realms and surpassed even the Origin and Primordial Martial Arts!"
Although the location of the Earth Emperor was unknown, his tone showed great admiration for Cao Ya and that new martial art.
Hongyu, Hongkun, and Lizhu, the three sons, naturally knew that their father was one of the Nine Primordial Emperors, possessing exceptional talent and comprehension, and formidable strength. Among the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors, he was second only to the War Emperor, the God Emperor, the Fighting Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor. Even the Human Emperor, the second-generation guardian of the Seed, was no match for him, and the other Spirit Emperor, Northern Emperor, Western Emperor, Southern Emperor, Beast Emperor, and others were far inferior.
The Earth Emperor is a true genius, an unparalleled genius!
Therefore, the Earth Emperor and the War Emperor were actually close friends. Although the War Emperor did not explicitly tell the Earth Emperor about his plans, he had roughly guessed them and knew the reason for Fang Ping's strength.
The Earth Emperor often used the rise of the Heavenly Emperor to inspire his three sons, hoping that they would become emperors and have a combat power of over 100 million, or even over 200 million!
This left Hongyu, Hongkun, and Lizhu feeling quite helpless.
Throughout the history of the Three Realms, how many people can compare to the War Emperor?
To this day, if you count on your fingers, there are only three: the Heavenly Emperor, the Yang God, and Cao Ya Dao Ancestor.
What merit or ability do they possess?!
Even you, Father, are no match for him?
Of course, he could only keep these words to himself, otherwise the Earth Emperor would have punished his son.
Eight thousand years ago, the Three Realms underwent a great upheaval. The Heavenly Court fell, and the Three Emperors died. They were truly dead, but the Earthly Emperor faked his death. With the gift of the War Emperor, he broke free from the shackles of the Origin Land and could roam freely in the Three Realms like a dragon, traveling through the Earthly Realm and the Human Realm. On the contrary, the Heavenly Realm, which was originally the most prosperous and flourishing, had collapsed and was no longer beautiful.
Compared to the emperors who were like prisoners, the Earth Emperor's situation was much better—although it certainly couldn't compare to that of the Yang God!
But throughout history, how many people can compare to the Yang God?
Only Cao Yadaozu at present.
Even the Heavenly Emperor was not as carefree as the Yang God; trapped in the Source Land, he was also a prisoner.
To conceal his whereabouts, the Earthly Emperor traveled the world under an assumed name. His experiences over eight thousand years left him with many thoughts, and he felt that the Three Realms were also a great cage, imprisoning everyone.
This feeling almost drove the Earth Emperor mad.
Sometimes, he really wanted to just destroy the Three Realms and send everyone back to nothingness.
This is the idea of a madman!
However, the Earth Emperor was still plotting, with his family of four entering the game, risking their lives to try and break the deadlock.
Of course, the premise is that the three sons must at least attain enlightenment!
If you don't become an emperor, you'll always be just an ant!
Even if one becomes an emperor, if one's combat power does not exceed 100 million or 200 million, the effect one can have is quite weak.
Therefore, the Earthly Emperor made his three sons follow different paths, belonging to the Heavenly Realm, the Earthly Realm, and the Demon Realm respectively, namely the Heavenly Emperor's Path, the Earthly Emperor's Path, and the Demon Emperor's Path.
If it weren't for the loss of one son, the Earthly Emperor would still have plotted to become the Human Emperor!
The Earth Emperor considered himself the wisest man in the Three Realms. Although there was some boasting involved, as an emperor, he also had his own pride and disdained empty boasting. Therefore, he dared to think so. Regardless of the reality, at least in his heart, he truly thought so.
As a wise man, a genius, and an emperor, the Earth Emperor was extremely proud. Among the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns, even including the Heavenly Emperor and the Yang God, there were probably only two or three whom he admired.
Now, however, he greatly admires Cao Ya and longs to meet him.
He really couldn't go to see him. After all, the Earth Emperor had concealed his identity and was unaffected in front of others. No one could see through his disguise. But he knew very well that Cao Ya Dao Zu would be able to see through his true identity at a glance!
For the strongest being with over 200 million cards, the Earth Emperor's regard for them is no exaggeration.
In fact, Cao Ya was fully aware of the existence of the Earthly Emperor.
Who gave Cao Ya such complete knowledge of all the great secrets of the Three Realms?
"A new martial art, I really don't know how Cao Ya Daozu created it. Although time is running out, I am still studying this new martial art. In order to obtain the advanced techniques, I even worked for the human race for free and made a considerable contribution."
The Earth Emperor sighed. The more he delved into the new martial arts, the more terrifying this path of cultivation became.
If Cao Ya knew about the Earth Emperor's sentiments, he would just laugh it off.
How could the cultivation path of a seven-star universe not be terrifying?
I am not the creator of martial arts, I am just a conveyor of martial arts!
"It's a pity we can't forcibly seize the profound techniques of the new martial arts." Li Zhu seemed somewhat regretful.
"Are you joking?" Hongkun chuckled coldly and transmitted his voice, "With Dao Ancestor Cao Ya in charge, his divine power is boundless and he is completely unrestricted. He and the Heavenly Emperor, who is like a prisoner, are not the same kind of people."
"If you act recklessly, we'll have no choice but to collect your corpse," Hongyu warned.
"Let them collect the bodies then. In the future, who knows, there might not even be anyone left to collect the bodies," Li Zhu said nonchalantly.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" The Earth Emperor stopped his three sons from arguing and said coldly, "In short, although a great war has broken out in the Earth Realm, it is not a good time for you to prove your Dao. You must be patient."
The Earth Emperor, whose whereabouts were unknown, seemed to be observing the chaotic battle on the Primordial Martial Continent. Upon seeing Fang Ping and his group, he said in a low voice:
"Those guys, Fang Ping, can't stay still. Just wait and see, after causing such a ruckus in this territory, their eyes will definitely be set on the Thirty-Sixth Heaven of the Origin Land!"
"That will be the perfect time for you to attain enlightenment!"
Hongyu, Hongkun, and Lizhu had no objections to this.
Upon careful consideration, it is indeed a bit too risky to preach the truth today.
The absence of the emperors does not mean they are no longer concerned about the Three Realms.
Meanwhile, in the sky above the shattered Chuwu Continent, a group of powerful Heavenly Kings were engaged in a chaotic battle. Their divine power was astonishing, and the aura of destruction rippled outwards, overturning the sea and blasting through the sky!
Ultimately, with the addition of a powerful figure like Tianchen, the Grand Steward of the Cat Palace, to the battlefield, the defeat of the radical faction in the early martial arts era was inevitable.
"Could it be that Heaven truly intends to destroy Chu Wu?"
