Haotian Zun, also one of the Nine Venerables of Longhan, once opened up a divine treasure. He was not convinced by Venerable Lingtian, Venerable Yuntian, Venerable Yuetian, Venerable Youtian, as well as Venerable Mutian, Venerable Qintian, and Venerable Huotian. He felt that he could fight them and he could win most of the time.
Only the Heavenly Venerable and the Heavenly Venerable Haotian were willing to admit defeat.
Unfortunately, before he could grow up, the Ancient God Emperor was wary of him and secretly instructed Haotianzun and Yintianzi to murder Yutianzun.
A few years ago, Qin Mu resurrected the remnant soul of the Celestial Venerable.
But the missing millions of years can never be made up for.
Even Qin Mu, who was born in this era, relied on Ling Tianzun's unparalleled supernatural powers to travel through time and participate in or lead many major events. His experience and knowledge cannot be calculated entirely based on his age.
Moreover, it was only a remnant soul, not a complete one.
Therefore, in the eyes of the powerful, Cao Ya, who rose to prominence in just over a hundred years—even though he was silent for several decades in the Remnant Village—and finally earned the title of "Celestial Venerable," protecting Yan Kang and being able to roam the world, is a super special person, more special than any other strong person!
The profound mystery that Cao Ya is now revealing further confirms this point.
That is an understanding that surpasses that of all living beings!
Of course, for the world's strongest, in addition to their peak comprehension, their background, origin, and innate talent are also crucial.
The most obvious examples are the Heavenly Emperor, the Earth God, and the ancient goddess sisters, the Empress and the Primordial Goddess.
Born holy!
"That Cao Tianzun, is he that powerful? I never realized it before..." Tai Shi inside the eggshell was surprised and a little confused.
Am I just too bad, or is Cao Tianzun hiding his true abilities too well?!
Tai Shi began to doubt the meaning of life.
Are all those who attain enlightenment this terrifying?
Even the Emperor Tai was not like that!
Tai Shi, still an egg, believed that Cao Tianzun, having acquired some of Tai Yi's abilities, was currently the strongest being in the universe! No qualifiers were needed!
Taiyi, after all, resides in the ancestral court and has not yet come to the myriad realms. Therefore, when arranging the experts of the heavens, he cannot be counted.
"God is so unfair!"
The other one of the Five Primordial Gods, Tai Su Shen Nu, who had clashed with Tai Shi and affected the void, collapsing the Milky Way, was no longer hidden. Instead, she suddenly appeared, gazing at Xuan Du with a gloomy expression.
"Why is it that humans, a mere human race, such a lowly life form, can attain the Dao through multiple laws, while I, the dignified master of the Primordial Dao, am still unable to even touch the edge of attaining the Dao?"
The Goddess Tai Su was furious and looked down on all living beings after birth, even demigods and ancient gods.
"They can't handle even the slightest setback and start getting furious?"
"Heh, Taisu, with your heart set on the Dao, you still want to attain the Dao? Attain your ass!"
"Tai Su, I advise you to end your own life as soon as possible, so as not to disgrace us."
Tai Shi sneered, his words aimed at the heart.
The Goddess Taisu's face turned ugly, and she said coldly, "Tai Shi, you're courting death!"
With a boom, the laws of primordial chaos flowed, capable of creating and destroying all things, but the primordial energy shifted, blocking the spell of the Goddess of Primordial Chaos.
As ancient gods of the Five Great Daos, Tai Shi was not afraid of Tai Su Goddess.
Only Taiyi, who had long since attained the Dao, would have such reverence.
"boom!!"
The two fought fiercely, but were evenly matched. It would be impossible to determine a winner without tens of thousands of rounds.
"Splash~~~"
In the distance, the Heavenly River flowed endlessly. The Void Celestial Venerable, the Empress, and the Fire Celestial Venerable, who stood atop it, attacked their enemies, but their faces also darkened, their hearts heavy with sorrow.

Cao Ya's strength has exceeded expectations time and time again.
They all had a very bad feeling.
If this continues, let alone conquering Xuandu and returning in triumph, I'm afraid our own lives will be in danger!
"Haotian Venerable, are you still going to hide?" The Empress sneered. "Once we've all been killed by Cao Ya, and only you are left, do you really think you can stop him? Hmph, even if your father returns and immediately recovers to his peak, he's still no match for Cao Ya, the Heavenly Venerable!"
She was the empress of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor, a model of virtue for the world. Although she was not the biological mother of Haotian Zun, she still knew her great-nephew, the Empress.
He was more thoughtful than his father.
He's a tough and ruthless character who's very difficult to deal with!
The Venerable Void and the Venerable Fire were not surprised by the Empress's words.
They all stared at Haotianzun, their expressions solemn, their divine senses radiating outwards, expressing a single attitude.
Stop trying to hide your talents!
Xuandu has been defeated, and none of them will come out unscathed.
This is a case of interdependence.
If they continue to hide, deliberately implicate only Kaihuang, and try to silence everyone, without going all out, the final outcome for all of them will probably be that they are all killed by Cao Ya!
They knew very well that a powerful figure like Haotianzun must still have some trump cards up his sleeve!
Even though the power he is now displaying is already quite fierce, he is an extremely powerful Heavenly Venerable who can resist Kaihuang!
But few knew that this was by no means the full power of the Jade Emperor!
When they ventured deep into the Void to explore the Ancestral Court, Haotian Zun fought a fierce battle with the escaped Taidi's physical body. The battle was earth-shattering, and both sides were severely injured!
Finally, due to his injuries, Haotian Zun had no choice but to submit to the newly emerged Tai Su Shen Nu. As for Tai Di, his physical body was destroyed, another hope was dashed, and he could only rely more on the divided soul of Qiang Tian Fei.
This made the Emperor hate Yun Tianzun even more.
The fact that his physical body was trapped was Yun Tianzun's doing.
However, since Yun Tianzun merged with the divine consciousness of the Great Luo Heaven and came into contact with the Primordial Emperor Sword, the Supreme Emperor had no good way to deal with him and could only suppress him.
At the beginning, Haotianzun was still recovering from his injuries. Forced by the situation, he obeyed the orders of Taisu Shennu, addressed her as "Aunt," and became her henchman.
Now, a long time has passed. Haotianzun has definitely seen through many of the mysteries of the Tai Su Goddess and mastered the Tai Su Dao. As long as he depletes the goddess's accumulated resources, he will launch an attack and kill her!
The damaged divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, must have already been repaired.
It should be noted that both the Supreme Emperor and the Ancient God Emperor were plotted against and harmed, resulting in problems with their vital physical bodies and a loss of strength. They could only rely on the rise of their divided souls to find a way to save themselves.
After the passing of Yun Tianzun and Ling Tianzun, before Cao Ya appeared, Hao Tianzun was the most powerful figure.
Even Xiaotianzun, the reincarnation of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor, wouldn't dare say he could suppress him; at most, he could only be on par with him.
Consort Qiangtian was even less impressive.
The Moon Celestial Venerable, the Nether Celestial Venerable, the Fire Celestial Venerable, and others are all inferior to Hao.
Therefore, even though the Goddess Tai Su had an exceptional background and was extremely powerful, she seized the opportunity and got hold of Haotian Zun's weakness. However, in everyone's eyes, Haotian Zun must have some kind of scheme to kill the Goddess Tai Su.
"Damn Cao Ya..."
Haotian Zun cursed inwardly, wondering if his disguise was about to be exposed.
In reality, Haotianzun thought that since he had entangled the powerful Kaihuang, the other Heavenly Venerables, relying on their numerical advantage, would be able to handle everything, implement the Heavenly Court's grand plan, return victorious, and return to the capital in triumph.
Who would have thought that Cao Yatian was terrifyingly powerful, and even the four celestial beings working together were in grave danger!
"Sigh." Haotianzun sighed.
There was no other way; for the sake of the Heavenly Court's stability, he had to go all out. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Venerable were defeated and Cao Ya were to emerge and seize power, he would be in danger!
Their exalted status and boundless power in the Heavenly Court were completely lost in a single day!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to the proposal by the father and son, Hong Tianzun and Zu Shenwang, to attack Xuandu."
Haotianzun was depressed.
This is truly a case of losing both wife and army.
"If you want to plot against your aunt, you'll have to come up with another idea." Haotianzun is the son of Taichu, and Taisu Shennu is naturally his aunt.
Regardless of their strength, the five beings are all of the same level in terms of origin.
"Bang!!"
Haotianzun stood on the Milky Way. Behind him, the two Heavenly Courts grew ever more magnificent. The Primordial Dao and the Returning Void Dao each governed a Heavenly Court, with numerous Heavenly Palaces and Treasure Halls shining brightly and illuminating all realms!
As the offspring of the ancient god Emperor Taichu and Lady Yuanmu, Haotianzun was born with the ability to learn the laws of Taichu and the laws of Guixu.
His comprehension was exceptional, making him the second person after Yu Tianzun to open up the Divine Treasury.
Having controlled the resources of the Heavenly Court for hundreds of thousands of years, the Heavenly Venerable's cultivation has become increasingly unfathomable over this long period.
The two heavenly courts, one upright and one reversed, are just one step away from completing the thirty-six heavenly palaces and taking initial shape.
Of course, the seventy-two treasure halls are still lacking in many aspects.
Even so, it is still terrifying, approaching the level of an enlightened being!
The pressure felt by Kaihuang, who was at the thirty-fifth level of swordsmanship, suddenly increased dramatically.
The sword domain unleashed by the Worry-Free Sword, with its billions of sword energies, was annihilated by the Void and destroyed by the Primordial Chaos, rendering it ineffective and unable to inflict any damage on the Heavenly Venerable Haotian.
"Boom!!"
The most absurd thing is that space is distorted, and a divine artifact, Yutianzun, exuding supreme power, steps out leisurely, cutting off the vast Milky Way and shaking the past, present and future. There are also two Heavenly Courts with different attributes, Guixu and Shixu, and Taichu and Divine Wonder. They cooperate with each other and complement each other, unleashing the strongest killing power and launching a fierce attack on Kaihuang!
That was the already damaged divine artifact, Yutianzun, belonging to Haotianzun!
It's already fixed!
Moreover, due to the special material of the divine artifact Yutianzun, as well as its patterns, Dao traces, and manufacturing scheme, Haotianzun could separate his divine thoughts and manipulate his own divine artifact Yutianzun without any worries. He could freely activate the two heavenly courts, large areas of heavenly palaces and treasure halls, and unleash divine power that crushed the void.
He wouldn't dare do such a thing in his own right.
Although the Heavenly Court is powerful, the pressure it brings is also enormous.
If you're not careful, you'll destroy both your physical body and your soul!
However, with the divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, there is no such worry.
No matter how precious this powerful weapon is, it is merely a handy weapon in his hands.
Now is the time to use our most powerful weapons!
"Buzzing..."
The laws surged, and the Heavenly Court, ruled by the Void, resembled an abyss, devouring everything, even the Great Dao itself.
The second Heavenly Court, governed by the Primordial Dao, is mysterious and wondrous, fully displaying the power of the Five Primordial Elements.
One body and one divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, two top experts, attacked simultaneously to besiege and kill the Kaihuang Emperor. They showed no mercy and were extremely ruthless. Their killing aura was overwhelming and their power was awe-inspiring!
Countless gods and demons held their breath.
"Could it be that the former King Kaihuang, who was once Qin Tianzun, is about to perish?"
They felt a mix of emotions, unable to tell whether it was excitement or sorrow.
When he was Qin Tianzun, Kaihuang made no significant contributions and was mostly just there to fill a quota. However, after leaving Taixu and stepping out of Wuyouxiang, the Dao Realm system proposed by Kaihuang has had a profound impact on the myriad worlds of today.
Even if they are on opposing sides, I still admire such figures as Dao Ancestors.
The hearts of You Tianzun, Langwan Shenwang, and Yue Tianzun were all on edge.
Finally, there was a glimmer of hope for victory...
Can Kaihuang withstand Haotianzun?
The Moon Celestial Venerable and the Fire Celestial Venerable, both being among the Nine Venerables of the Dragon Han Dynasty, had both opened up their divine treasures, and their talents were evenly matched.
Furthermore, since the Fire Celestial Venerable joined the Heavenly Court and possesses the divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, he has a greater advantage in resources than the Moon Celestial Venerable!
If it weren't for the profound mysteries of the laws of space, the situation of the Moon Celestial Venerable would be much more dangerous.
You Tianzun was very powerful and suppressed Xu Tianzun, but Langwan Shenwang was no match for the Empress. He stepped in to help, and the two of them joined forces to fight against the Empress and Xu Tianzun on the side of the Heavenly Court.
There was simply no extra strength left to support Kaihuang.
Facing the seemingly deadly attack from Haotianzun, Kaihuang's expression turned solemn.
Although he was confident, upon reflection, he realized that his comprehension was comparable to that of the Heavenly Venerable Haotian.
Even though Kaihuang took a different path and embarked on the road to the Dao Realm, and was about to attain the Dao, Haotianzun held great power and was truly superior in terms of external things.
"We must stop them!" Emperor Kaihuang muttered to himself.
"Cao Yatianzun, facing such a dangerous siege, you still managed to outmaneuver the enemy and fight back!"
"I am Emperor Kaihuang, Qin Tianzun, and the leader of Wuyou Township. In such a top-level battle, it's one thing to fight multiple opponents, but even the strongest can't fight against many. In a one-on-one situation, how can I possibly lose to Haotianzun?!"
Kaihuang roared, as if filled with sword intent, sweeping across the Milky Way and impacting the four Heavenly Courts, causing them to tremble.
At the same time, Kaihuang gripped the Worry-Free Sword tightly, unleashing wisps of sword light that were invincible and nearly pierced through the Heavenly Court!
Even Haotianzun's eyes changed slightly.
In terms of destructive power, Kaihuang, who was proficient in swordsmanship, was simply unparalleled in the universe!
Most importantly, Kaihuang follows the orthodox Dao Realm system. His swordsmanship has been imprinted with thirty-five layers of void. He is only one step away from stepping into the ultimate void and achieving the Great Luo Heaven of Sword Dao, becoming immortal!
"Splash splash~~~~~"
At this moment, to the astonishment of Haotian Zun, thirty-five layers of void appeared, and dozens of phantoms of Kaihuang flashed almost at the same time. Each of them bore the mark of a Worry-Free Sword, which could shatter chaos with a single hand!
Unlike the real Kaihuang, those phantoms all appeared calm and composed, without any hesitation. They swung out the branded Worry-Free Sword, and with a boom, endless sword light swept down from the thirty-five layers of void, striking Haotianzun and his divine weapon Yutianzun, aiming at the four heavenly courts of the two Guixu and two Taichu!
Thirty-five Kaihuangs, each wielding a Worry-Free Sword, emerged from the thirty-five layers of void, joining forces with their main bodies to turn the tables and gang up on Haotianzun!
Those illusory figures are all the sword imprints of Emperor Kaihuang!
Its existence stems from two sources: first, Kaihuang's personal swordsmanship, and second, the unique nature of the void.
Even though a single brand is far inferior to the divine artifact, the Heavenly Venerable, twenty or thirty of them working together can stop it.
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
The violent explosion shook the Milky Way, and the surrounding area trembled. Fortunately, it was far away, and there was a natural barrier that could isolate the disaster from the outside world.
Otherwise, all realms will face great calamity!
The two tacitly avoided these boundaries.
Haotianzun regarded it as his territory, as part of his own property, and of course he was unwilling to damage it.
Emperor Kaihuang, on the other hand, treated everyone equally and put himself in others' shoes. He did not want the Land of No Worries to be destroyed, so naturally he would not destroy these worlds.
Clearly, the Kaihuang Great Burst blocked Haotianzun, who was also exerting all his strength!
"The thirty-five levels of swordsmanship in the Kaihuang era are actually so profound??"
Fire Celestial Venerable, Void Celestial Venerable, Empress, and Tai Su Goddess, even Moon Celestial Venerable, Nether Celestial Venerable, Langwan God King, and Tai Shi were all greatly surprised.
"The Dao Realm system seems to be much more unique than the Heavenly Palace Divine Realm!"
After their initial shock, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
