Cao Ya wandered the real world, experiencing the customs and culture of the medieval era, which differed significantly from those of later generations.
At the same time, he also learned of his battle with the Overlord, which spread like wildfire throughout the real world, causing a sensation across the country.
Countless martial artists found it hard to believe.
The more invincible the Overlord was before, the more intense the shock Cao Ya brought to them now!
The strongest celestial being in the world has gone from one to two!
Even the sages are inferior to the Overlord and Cao Ya!
Cao Ya's name spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world, and he was regarded as an idol by countless martial artists.
Rumors and legends about Cao Ya can be found in almost every place.
"This feeling... hey, it's pretty good," Cao Ya murmured, a smile on his face.
He could sense that, along with the major news that had ignited the real world, he was slowly beginning to form some anchor points in the medieval era, enough for him to locate himself in this world and not get lost in the long river of time.
Although he does not yet possess the characteristics of the other shore, he is unable to utilize these anchor points.
But it's always good to be prepared. If he has the potential to achieve great things in the future and ventures into the long river of time, these anchor points will be his greatest trump card!
I won't say much more about the other side.
After all, one must truly experience the erosion of time and recognize the existence of suffering to be born into this world.
When Cao Ya is in a good mood, he occasionally travels between towns and villages, intentionally or unintentionally leaving behind some relics or a martial arts manual or two, which he then gives to those who are destined to find them.
Occasionally, he would also dredge waterways, divert rainwater, irrigate farmland, and extinguish forest fires.
The local people, unaware that it was him who had intervened, thought it was divine intervention and were extremely grateful.
Cao Ya walked across the land and mountains, experiencing the nature of heaven and earth tens of thousands of years ago, perceiving the subtle changes between the two eras, and seemed to gain some insight.
Suddenly, Cao Ya sensed something, his face darkened, and killing intent seeped out.
*Sizzle*
He tore through the void and vanished instantly.
Thousands of miles away, the mighty river surged and churned wildly, as if months of torrential rain had caused the riverbed to collapse, the dams to crumble, and the water to surge forth, resulting in a massive flood.
However, in recent months, this area has only experienced occasional light rain, which is far from enough to cause major flooding.
Not to mention such a massive flood that seems to be a once-in-a-century event!
Farmland on both sides of the river was completely destroyed, and most towns and villages were submerged. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and tragedies of broken homes and dead were everywhere.
Countless ordinary people were swept away by the flood and disappeared without a trace.
Even those who survived were filled with despair.
Crops are gone, houses are gone, and life savings are gone. Even if they are still alive now, their future is very worrying, and most of them probably won't live much longer.
Many elderly people and children, in particular, have fallen ill, coughing incessantly, and looking pale; it seems they are on their deathbed in the next few days.
whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~
A series of colorful streaks of light sped by as the martial artists from the Outer Realm, including those from nearby areas, rushed to the disaster relief effort. Under the planning of several peak Outer Realm Grandmasters, they dispersed to various towns and villages to dredge the river channels, set up formations, and limit the flooding of the river to prevent it from impacting nearby settlements.
Meanwhile, martial artists below the level of Outer Realm, relying on their immense strength, transported food and supplies, traversing rivers as if walking on flat ground, racing against time to reach the disaster-stricken areas. Under the coordination of Outer Realm experts, they distributed various supplies to the affected people.
This scene, which reveals true friendship in times of adversity, showcases the brilliance of humanity and will shine through the ages.
However, the creatures beneath the great river scoffed, showing utter disdain.
"You've saved me, but how am I supposed to complete my mission? You're just a bunch of ants, what does it matter if a few more die?"
Deep in the river, a monster hundreds of meters long slithered and swam, its body like a snake, with four legs and small horns on its head, resembling a dragon!
The dragon noticed the movements of the human warriors on both sides of the river and chuckled, a mocking laugh in its tone.
The raging tide on the wide river, stretching for dozens of miles, surged and surged, carrying a special force that impacted the array set up by the experts in the field. In just a few moments, it was on the verge of collapse.
"Not good! There's something underwater." A figure in a wide-sleeved robe frowned, made hand seals, and unleashed streams of light that disappeared into the riverbanks on both sides, their shimmering light reinforcing the dikes.
"I knew it... There have been no major rainstorms in the past few months, only occasional light rains. How could that have caused a flood? What kind of demon dares to harm people here?! Aren't they afraid of being punished by the saints?" Another old man from the Outer Realm roared angrily. He was dressed simply, but his face was already somewhat pale. The continuous exertion of his magic power was also taking a great toll on him.
A demon capable of stirring up such a great river must be extraordinary; it may even have attained enlightenment.
Although he wished he could kill the demon lurking in the shadows, he was also aware of his own limitations. Relying solely on himself and a few fellow cultivators from the outer realms, he might not only fail to kill the enemy, but also risk his own life.
He only hoped that the might of the saints would frighten away the demons in the river.
"Seal!" On the other side, a middle-aged woman with a cold expression formed several hand seals in an instant, drawing upon the outer world and causing energy to boil. She forcefully suppressed the surging tide on the river, allowing the nearby people to evacuate in time with the help of many martial artists.
Ugh~~
Suddenly, a roar came from the bottom of the river, containing inexplicable demonic power. It shattered the magical power of a group of outsiders, causing them to cough up blood, sway, and almost fall into the river.
"As expected!" The onlookers were furious, their eyes bulging with rage.
The strongest group of external beings was easily suppressed by the dragon in the river. It glanced contemptuously at the human external beings and sneered:
"Humans are still so fragile. Even as outsiders, they are nothing more than larger ants. If it weren't for... hey, you can live, but I would have to kill another batch of those other ordinary people."
"If they don't die hard enough to realize your fragility and your powerlessness in the face of great disasters, how can they possibly have faith in our Hanchan Temple and dedicate themselves wholeheartedly?"
"Well, I'll take this opportunity to have a good feast and enjoy some blood food."
"Since you came out on a mission, it shouldn't be like last time, where you only ate a few thousand people and were punished by the Great Wise Monk to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for a hundred years."
The dragon muttered to itself, flicked its tail, and shot like an arrow toward the riverbank where the most people were.
Boom!!!
The dragon burst forth from the water, soaring and dancing in the air, its four legs outstretched, and it roared, shaking the surrounding area.
The people who were fleeing with their families not far from the riverbank saw the dragon soaring into the sky and were filled with despair, almost collapsing to the ground.
Even the martial artists who were helping the common people smiled bitterly, having given up any thought of resistance.
Such a dragon, its might shook the ten directions, let alone them, even the outer realms could not defeat it!
"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?" Only a very few martial artists could muster the courage to urge people to run faster.
Even the people on the riverbank were filled with despair at this moment.
Because that dragon was actually at the Dharma Body Realm!
