"The God Emperor of Annihilation, the Ancestor of Eternal Night, the Ancestor of Polar Night, and those pig-like beasts they protect... just like the Beast King of the Realm and the billions of demons in the Black Demon Swamp, they are all villains with heinous crimes, burdened by karma, and whose hands are stained with blood! They all deserve to die!"
Cao Ya muttered to himself, and with a flick of his sleeve, he collected many ancient Taoist scriptures that he had deliberately avoided when he slayed the demons.
Immediately, his gaze shifted, fixing on the other great demons!
"Huh?" Cao Ya was suddenly stunned. While he was annihilating the Beast King and the Black Demon Swamp, the World-Destroying God Emperor, the Eternal Night Ancestor, the Polar Night Ancestor, and others had already disappeared without a trace.
"That's decisive enough," Cao Ya murmured, his divine sense radiating outwards, covering the entire Realm Heart Continent.
However, beings like the "Invincible Being" and the "Ultimate Realm" are not weak in themselves and have profound cultivation. If they are focused on hiding, it would be difficult for him to discover them.
The Realm Heart Continent is too vast; there are some special places that even Cao Ya's divine sense cannot perceive. Furthermore, such great demons have also cultivated peak secret techniques, or even supreme secret techniques, and are proficient in mysterious arts. They can indeed conceal their forms and hide completely without leaving a trace.
It's no surprise that a six-star high-level being would possess some unique and eccentric abilities.
The Taoist teachings created by "Yuan" and passed down through this world are indeed astonishing.
The Realm Heart Continent is a place where the hopes of "Yuan" are placed. So far, although no Hunyuan powerhouse has emerged, it is impossible to say that there is no probability at all and no hope at all.
Otherwise, wouldn't all the resources that "Yuan" invested be wasted?
This has resulted in the fact that the powerful individuals on the Realm Heart Continent are generally very strong among their peers, far surpassing those in the Chaotic Void. Moreover, who among those who have reached the sixth-star advanced level, the third layer of the Cosmic God Realm, would be weak?
Cao Ya is not yet a seven-star Hunyuan expert, so he cannot completely overwhelm him!
No matter how much extraordinary magical power Cao Ya possesses, he is ultimately only at the peak of the six-star level, which is equivalent to the perfected royal level. In terms of direct combat, swordsmanship, and reincarnation, he can significantly defeat the king and royal levels at the higher six-star level. However, there are still some areas where Cao Ya is lacking, such as causality and spear techniques, which he is not particularly proficient in.
"To find these demons... unless I can make further progress in the path of the soul."
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. His overall combat strength had increased, and he had developed numerous systems. He had also studied soul spirits and achieved considerable expertise. Due to the system space, he could indeed utilize them to fight enemies, unafraid of soul-based killing moves, and even capable of annihilating them! However, such systems did not belong to the [Snow Eagle Lord] universe, and therefore could not activate the Great Dao Origin of this world, sense the Realm Heart Continent, or discern the whereabouts of demons.
The Infinite City Lord of the Ancient Kingdom of All Realms possesses a unique ability to sense such things, which can be said to be unparalleled throughout history!
However, the philosophy of the Lord of Infinite City is that of an observer, who will not interfere with the workings of heaven and earth. For example, in the battle between good and evil, he will not intervene in who wins or loses, nor will he assist either side.
Whether one lives or dies, it is already predetermined, and the Lord of the Infinite City cannot intervene!
In the original timeline, Dongbo Xueying and his companions sought help from the Lord of Infinite City, but were refused.
This kind of cosmic god has a clear path and has reached the "ultimate". Even if he is stronger and can easily defeat the Lord of Infinite City, he can never change his ideology. He will die!
Anyway, he is a "transmigrator" and a third-level cosmic god. In other source worlds, he still has a body. Perhaps he is not as good as the "Infinite City Lord" of the Realm Heart Continent, but he will not perish completely.
Moreover, the Lord of Infinite City has no history of cruelty and is not a heinous demon. Why would Cao Ya so easily harbor murderous intent? What difference would there be between him and the Beast King of the Realm?
"With my deterrent power, they won't be able to cause any trouble. Their cruel 'blood sacrifice' will never appear on the Realm Heart Continent again!"
"Even if I venture into the Broken Tooth Mountains, or even leave this Origin World..."
"Isn't there Dongbo Xueying? His realm is already at the peak of the first level, and he'll be close to the second level soon. As for the Void Dao, reaching the third level won't be particularly difficult for him either."
“Dongbo Xueying is in charge of the Realm Heart Continent… Heh, in this respect, his methods are even more ruthless than mine! There’s absolutely nothing to worry about.”
Because of his formidable combat prowess, Cao Ya decided to leave in his true form and venture into the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.
The main reason is that his level of understanding is not particularly profound.
Even if we take a step back, a God Emperor at the peak of his power can protect himself as long as he doesn't go to the World of Despair.
That despairing world, also known as the Holy Realm of Cultivation, was created by the Lord of Hunyuan. It imprisons high-level Hunyuan life forms from opposing factions, and is bound by various spells. It also alters the underlying rules, causing even the God Emperors to feel hungry and forcing them to frequently venture out to attack and kill Hunyuan life forms, hunt for food, and hone their skills.
In that realm, God Emperors are everywhere, and there are tons of them at the perfect level!
Even if Cao Ya's cultivation level reaches the peak of God Emperor, he is confident that he can be at the first-class level in the Despair World, but he is not sure if he can defeat Feng Yun Yi Ye and the Nine-Headed Serpent Ancestor.
Not to mention having to fight against the Chaos Origin life forms, or even face the threat of imprisoned higher Chaos Origin life forms!
It was indeed a high-quality training experience. As long as one didn't die and accumulated enough experience, one might be able to achieve enlightenment and break through to the seventh level. However, Cao Ya still avoided it.
The understanding of laws and rules varies from person to person, and although there are differences in different universes, they can still be used as a general reference.
Cao Ya thought to himself, with so many years of experience, there must be a pretty good chance of success, right?
As for the battle in the infinite Chaos Space... that's a matter for Chaos Realm experts!
If he doesn't reach the seven-star level in a day, he has no reason to worry; going there would only be suicide.
"However, the God Emperor of Annihilation and the Ancestor of Eternal Night escaped. They had already gone into hiding when I killed the Beast King of the Realm and destroyed the Black Demon Swamp. But there are always some evil spirits who missed the boat... Besides, not everyone is at the 'Ultimate Realm' of the third level and possesses magic treasures and secret techniques of peak level or above, so they can evade my search!"
Cao Ya smiled, and countless sword lights, carrying a vast and profound mystery, traversed the Realm Heart Continent.
"Ah!!!" All sorts of screams echoed as wave after wave of demons perished.
The entire Realm Heart Continent was filled with trepidation, fearing that they might be targeted by the God of Wind and Fire!
But Cao Ya is not a person who kills indiscriminately; he targets only those beasts who commit acts of slaughtering the innocent!
"Boom..." At this moment, Dongbo Xueying also killed Yuan Yi Demon Lord with a single shot!
"What a pity, some of them got away." Dongbo Xueying said regretfully.
"It's alright, you can take care of them later," Cao Ya said with a smile.
"Hmm." Dongbo Xueying nodded emphatically, surveying the world with renewed excitement.
After this cleansing, the evil spirits will surely no longer be rampant, and the lives of ordinary people will be much better. They will no longer have to worry about being "sacrificed" with blood.
Furthermore, due to the large number of cultivators who perished, many dangerous, wondrous, and secret realms were created, and the resources, now unclaimed, were scattered throughout the world, thus benefiting hundreds of millions of people.
“Beyond the Void Path, you must pay close attention to your Void Realm Path,” Cao Ya reminded him.
"Yes, I understand," Dongbo Xueying replied, believing that the Wind and Fire God hoped that he would improve the Void Realm Dao and enhance his soul power so that he could find the hidden "Ultimate Realm" beings.
Of course, this was indeed one of Cao Ya's intentions. As for the second one... the Void Realm Path is the key to whether Dongbo Xueying can become the "Snow Eagle Lord"!
While the Void Path is also important, in terms of transcendence, the Void Realm Path is still superior to Dongbo Xueying's!
Once the soul reaches the "ultimate" level, it guarantees that one will be a world-class primordial life form!
If one's physical body is strong enough, at a world-class level, when the soul and body combine, one will become a Lord of Chaos!
Cao Ya had considered specializing in the Void Realm Dao or something similar, focusing on the study of the soul... but after trying it, he realized that his talent lay elsewhere! He had no choice but to give up!
Even with his current insights and the Void Realm Techniques taught by Dongbo Xueying, which allow him to cultivate appropriately, it remains to be seen whether he can reach the first level of the Cosmic God Realm, let alone the "ultimate" level.
Moreover, simply ascending to the Void Realm is not enough; a matching physical body is also required!
The fusion of these two is the way of the lord, without any flaws!
"My original plan has been realized. The atmosphere on the Realm Heart Continent has changed drastically! It's time to put the plan to leave on the agenda." Cao Ya muttered to himself.
Of course, he wasn't in a hurry. Having obtained so many Taoist scriptures, he could first peruse them and seek inspiration.
The best outcome would be to elevate one's own realm to the Emperor or God Emperor level.
"Anything that incites a 'blood sacrifice' and slaughters innocent lives will be killed!"
Cao Ya transmitted his voice to the Realm Heart Continent; his cold voice intimidated countless powerful figures!
The assembled heroes were all terrified and on high alert. They sent messages to their sects and clansmen, instructing them to be cautious, orderly, and law-abiding in their future actions, and never to offend the taboos of the Wind and Fire God!
Throughout history, the God of Wind and Fire has been the strongest being ever!
They estimated that even within the Broken Tooth Mountains, the God of Wind and Fire was among the most powerful.
Who would dare ignore such a warning from a supreme expert?
Furthermore, while their personalities may not be the best, they are not bloodthirsty either.
Otherwise, burdened by karmic debts, he would have been targeted by Cao Ya long ago and slapped to death.
Cao Ya wouldn't interfere with normal confrontations or battles for resources.
"Hmm, the Beast King of the Realms is dead, and the God Emperor of Annihilation has gone into hiding. Of the five 'invincible beings' of the Ancient Kingdoms of the Realms, only three remain... Well, they are still strong enough to compete with the Ancient Kingdoms of Summer Breeze and Ice and Snow, and still stand in the first tier on the continent! It's just that they are no longer in a league of their own!"
"But that ancient ancestral kingdom... the two 'invincible' ancestors have both disappeared, and many of the cosmic gods and void gods in the kingdom were killed by the Wind and Fire Gods because of their many sins!"
"In that case, what right does the Ancestral Ancient Kingdom have to be ranked among the six great ancient kingdoms of the Realm Heart Continent?!"
The heroes looked toward the location of the ancient ancestral kingdom with burning eyes.
The ancient kingdoms of Xiafeng, Bingxue, Yuehua, and Motian were largely unaffected, while the ancient kingdoms of the myriad realms maintained their prestige thanks to the Infinite City Lord and the Wanderers.
Only the ancient ancestral kingdom fell into the dust!
Of course, considering the existence of the God of Wind and Fire, no one dared to act recklessly. They could only compete through legitimate means and methods, and dared not disturb the common people. There were also many benefits to be distributed. Otherwise, if they provoked the God of Wind and Fire, the Beast King of the Realm and the Black Demon Swamp would serve as a cautionary tale.
How could they possibly compare to an "invincible being"?
For the various powerful figures, such as the Ancestor of Eternal Night and the Ancestor of Polar Night, they were not particularly afraid of their retaliation.
Anyone who dares to show their face is practically offering themselves up as food to the God of Wind and Fire!
The crowd speculated that these demons might have already left the Realm Heart Continent and fled into the Broken Tooth Mountains. That place was also a good hiding place, but they had to be careful of the natives and the Deathly Fiends. These two groups had many experts, and there were plenty of them who could defeat "invincible beings."
The so-called "invincibility" only applies to the Realm Heart Continent; it doesn't mean they can traverse the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.
From the perspective of ordinary people, with the God of Wind and Fire backing them up, even if they don't constantly pay attention to the Realm Heart Continent, their power remains, subduing all directions. What officials above them, no matter how large the sect or family, would dare to oppress them wantonly? They'd be afraid the God of Wind and Fire wouldn't be angered, wouldn't they!
Because of the vastness of the mainland and the fact that there were too many vacant resources after the demons were defeated, the common people also gained a lot, their quality of life improved, and the number of experts rising from the bottom also increased.
Cao Yaneng could sense that the "Great God of Wind and Fire" had gathered a massive amount of faith power even without a temple!
“People know in their hearts who are good to them,” Cao Ya said with a slight smile.
The path of faith is a route to achieving a world-class primordial life form.
The heartfelt respect of all beings, when gathered together, can influence the origin of all paths, leading them to worship a particular being, thereby easily refining the origin and leaping to become world-class!
However, this is basically the end of the road.
After all, it was with the help of faith that one was able to improve. Without self-transcendence and without a leap in body and soul, the hope of becoming the Lord of Hunyuan is almost zero!
Of course, for the vast majority of cosmic gods, let alone world-class primordial life forms, even advanced primordial life forms are something they cannot obtain!
Being able to escape the cage is already a dream come true, so why worry about anything else?
However, Cao Ya had more information and knew the situation of the three levels of Chaos Origin experts within the Infinite Chaos Origin Space.
With the existence of the system space, Cao Ya's goal must be at least a world-class Chaos Origin Lifeform on the path of enlightenment! The path of faith is not what he desires! He must retain the possibility of becoming a Lord-level being!
“The Holy Lord’s path is indeed terribly wrong!” Dongbo Xueying sighed.
The deeds of "Tianxin Daoren" also spread throughout the Realm Heart Continent, and he was respected by all people.
Basically, it can be said that the faith of "Tianxin Daoren" is only slightly inferior to that of "Feng Huo Dashen".
Other chivalrous individuals, however, are secondary.
In such a vast world, where evil spirits run rampant, heroes are bound to emerge!
It's just that in the past, without a supreme being to hold the line, the cleansing could not be completed.
Sensing the gathering of faith power, Dongbo Xueying made a special trip to Feng Huo Shen Shan to inquire about Cao Ya's attitude.
He also casually mentioned the situation in the chaotic void and talked about the Holy Lord. —Although Cao Ya was already very clear about it.
“How can faith obtained through enslavement and coercion possibly transcend?” Cao Ya scoffed.
That holy lord of the chaotic void has completely gone down the wrong path!
“No matter what methods you use, you can’t fool the Origin World,” Dongbo Xueying said.
"Faith originates from all people, so let's return it to them," Cao Ya said with a smile. He used his great supernatural powers to guide the gathered incense offerings along the mysterious passage back to all spirits, nourishing all living beings.
"Haha, their faith has now helped them in no way less!"
