"You can sense me? Interesting. No wonder you are a God-King who has comprehended the Eight Fundamental Laws!"
"You are far more powerful than those useless Eight Holy Emperors!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from the endless sea of blood, followed by the unleashing of a great supernatural power. The surging sea of blood rolled and engulfed the heavens and the earth!
"If a god-king like you could become my blood slave, that would be a great pleasure!"
"In the future, we will be more confident in seizing the opportunities at Tianzun Mountain!"
"Haha, you can stay here in this sea of blood and stay with me forever!"
The woman's unrestrained laughter had a kind of arrogant domineering quality, yet it also possessed a corresponding terrifying power!
"Buzz." Cao Ya's body shone brilliantly, with eight-colored divine light spreading, blocking the fall of the sea of blood.
Although they had anticipated the arrogance of the "Queen of the Blood Sea," she didn't even exchange two words before launching into action...
This scene still surprised Cao Ya quite a bit, and he also paid full attention to dealing with the Blood Sea Queen!
"Interesting. The eight fundamental laws—in the history of the God Realm, no one but you has ever mastered them all! This performance is truly eye-opening; you've actually achieved perfect fusion!"
"Heh, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising. Without this compatibility, how could the eight Holy Emperors use those eight first-class spiritual treasures to 'freeze space'?"
The Queen of the Blood Sea laughed loudly, no longer probing, and directly used "Time Freeze"!
In an instant, heaven and earth froze, and the overwhelming sea of blood hung in mid-air, every drop of blood clearly visible.
However, a blood fork flew out from the depths of the sea of blood, unaffected by the "time freeze," and aimed at Cao Ya, fiercely attacking him!
As a third-stage God-King, the Blood Sea Queen herself is naturally not bound and remains free.
Her second-rate spiritual treasure, the "Blood Fork," was also detached from the outside world, ignoring the "time freeze" and unleashing its ferocious blood power to kill Cao Ya and refine him into a blood slave!
"Fortunately, it's only a second-rate spiritual treasure, which I can handle." Although Cao Ya's body was restrained, his thoughts could still move freely.
"Whoosh!" The blood fork flew over, streaking across the sky and leaving a bright red trail that illuminated the heavens!
Although it was extremely powerful, Cao Ya was not without confidence in withstanding the attack.
This is also where the Blood Sea Queen truly lacks: she only possesses second-rate spiritual treasures and has no first-rate ones. Otherwise, her destructive power would be even more terrifying!
Therefore, although both are third-stage God-Kings, she is slightly inferior to the Asura God-King.
There was no other way. In the past, Che Houyuan had refined a first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure and was revered as the "God of Craftsmen". His status was no less than that of a God King, and the name of the Bewildering God Palace had spread throughout the God Realm!
Che Houyuan gifted that top-tier spiritual treasure to the Asura God King, and received his protection!
Although the realm of gods is vast and boundless, the Primordial Treasures, being nurtured by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, are difficult to form.
Even if it is refined later, it still needs to be fused with innate spiritual treasures, extract primordial spiritual energy, and then refined with superb skills before it can be produced as an acquired spiritual treasure!
Such conditions undoubtedly limit the number of spiritual treasures. Not to mention first-class treasures, even second-class or third-class treasures are extremely rare!
Otherwise, how could the Queen of the Blood Sea only possess second-rate spiritual treasures?
"Buzz." Under the Blood Sea Queen's "Time Freeze," the surrounding void ceased, everything stopped, even the fluctuations in space stopped completely, and the God King could not teleport!
If it were any other god-king, as long as "time stopped," they would be unable to resist and would be at the mercy of others, like a caged bird. No matter how terrified they were, they could only watch as the blood fork took their lives.
Unless one carries a top-tier spiritual treasure and relies on the power of a divine weapon, there is no hope of breaking through it!
However, this also takes time; the "time freeze" cannot be broken instantly! There is a certain lag!
That little bit of skill was enough for the Blood Sea Queen to annihilate him!
Either another third-stage God-King will help, or multiple Holy Emperors will be needed to make the top-tier spiritual treasures resonate; otherwise, it's a dead end!
Even if a single Holy Emperor activated a top-tier Primordial Treasure, he would have no chance of survival!
This is why the Asura God King was so feared by the innate royal family.
Now, Cao Ya faces the Blood Sea Queen's "time freeze" alone, which is equally dangerous!
But since he knew the secrets of the Blood Sea, he still dared to come here, which shows that Cao Ya was confident in stopping the enemy!
Without a doubt, with all spatial fluctuations completely stilled, whether or not the laws of space have been perfected is irrelevant.
In terms of mastery of the laws of time, Cao Ya is clearly inferior to the Blood Sea Queen.
All he can rely on are the eight fundamental laws!
Of course, it is also an opportunity to unleash the profound mysteries of the laws of lightning, light, and fire in various extraordinary systems, making them incredibly powerful and capable of breaking free from the stillness of time!
It should be noted that Cao Ya's "Mingguang Dao" in [Desolate Era] is the peak of the middle level of the six stars, infinitely close to the high level of the six stars. It is equivalent to the second stage of God King in the [Stellar Transformation] universe, which can "accelerate time" by millions of times!
Moreover, there are also [Panlong] Cao Ya and others who are comprehending the Law of Light, and when combined, they have broken through to the advanced level of the sixth star!
For example, Cao Ya's "Great Sun Tathagata Fist" in [Sacred Ruins] corresponds to Buddhism and fire, and also implies a ray of light.
The magical power of universes such as the Primordial Era, the Immortal Gourd, the Supreme Being, the Perfect World, and the Realm of Immortality is also remarkable, and many spells involve these eight laws.
Now that it is fully activated, it is naturally powerful and terrifying, with strength no less than that of a six-star high-level being!
Even "time freeze" can be broken by Cao Ya using brute force!
"Bang!" Eight colors of light flowed around Cao Ya's body, and the profound laws of nature shone together, revealing endless mysteries.
Immediately, the vast sea of blood, which had been completely still, returned to its vibrant state.
"Huh?" The Blood Sea Queen was taken aback. "Time Freeze"—besides being a "Space Freeze" that required the combined efforts of another God-King of the same level and multiple Saint Emperors, it could actually be broken by a single "Second Stage" God-King?!
"Ah, that's it. The so-called 'space freezing' is just a first-class spiritual treasure manifested by the eight fundamental laws, which resonate with each other and freeze the void?"
"The spiritual treasure contains the Great Dao, but how can it compare to the comprehension of a God-King?"
"My mastery of the Blood Path surpasses even the most top-tier spiritual treasures! The deceased God of Life, as well as the surviving God of Death, the Wooden Fish God, and others, all possess unfathomable cultivation in different laws."
"The only truly astonishing thing is that this God-King Cao Ya has comprehended far too many Great Daos!"
"For others, outside of time and space, they might only be affected by one or two laws."
"But he actually possesses the Eight Fundamental Laws..."
"Especially the lightning, light, and fire elements, which are extremely powerful and seem to have reached their peak!"
The Queen of the Blood Sea pondered, also greatly astonished. Such a god-king was unbelievable and unprecedented!
"Hoo." Her true form appeared, a woman with blood-red hair, blood-red eyebrows, and a blood-red robe. She was incomparably beautiful, but without a trace of coquettishness; instead, she exuded an astonishingly domineering aura!
"Cao Ya, you really are a capable person! So, how about following me? Hehe, don't be too quick to refuse. I can give you some pointers on my expertise in 'time freezing'."
The Queen of the Blood Sea actually extended an invitation, no longer intending to turn Cao Ya into a blood slave.
The main reason was that Cao Ya's power was too great; even though the Blood Sea Queen was strong, she was not confident of defeating him.
To be honest, Cao Ya was slightly tempted by the Blood Sea Queen's words!
The eight fundamental laws, as well as life and death, are indeed his considerations for the path of the controller.
However, to achieve the status of a Celestial Venerable and lay the foundation for transcendence, time and space are still indispensable!
Furthermore, this will also affect other parts of yourself. The way of time and space, different universes, have their own differences, but they can all lead to the same goal. There must be many similarities as well.
But after a moment's thought, Cao Ya dismissed the impulse. He didn't think the Blood Sea Queen would be someone who valued talent!
He and Xue Yun had no connection whatsoever!
I'm afraid Xue Yun's move is an attempt to find an opportunity, exploit a weakness, and then launch a sneak attack to kill him!
Cao Ya was certain that Xue Yun would not miss a good opportunity to kill him!
"Haha, Blood Sea Queen, I dare not accept your 'kindness'." Cao Ya laughed, and a purple-gold sword appeared in his palm. The second-rate spiritual treasure glowed and burst forth with boundless sword energy!
Above his head was a blue lightning hammer, which drew upon the lightning laws of the divine realm, and roared continuously!
"Thump." The Blood Fork was sent flying, spinning around, but it was no match for the combined power of the Purple Gold Sword and the Blue Lightning Hammer.
Xue Yun's Blood Law is indeed very strong, but Cao Ya's Sword Dao and Thunder Dao are no weak either.
Not to mention it's a two-on-one situation, with two second-rate spiritual treasures ganging up on the Blood Fork, they naturally have the upper hand!
As for Xue Yun's "time freeze"... its repeated use was also neutralized by Cao Ya's laws!
Of course, Cao Ya was also amazed; time standing still was truly terrifying!
It actually took him so many profound laws to block it!
But Xue Yun was even more shocked than him!
“Cao Ya, I admit that you are qualified to be my equal. Apart from the Asura God King and the deceased Nine Nether God King, you are the third!” Xue Yun’s expression was solemn.
Xue Yun's close friend, the Carefree God King, was already the Carefree Celestial Venerable. It wasn't a matter of "equal footing"; rather, Xue Yun was at a disadvantage!
Even if the Celestial Venerable of Freedom had not made any demands, no matter how arrogant Xue Yun was, he would not dare to be disrespectful!
“As time goes by, the number of these god-kings will only increase.” Cao Ya smiled slightly.
Xue Yun's expression darkened slightly, but he had to admit that what Cao Ya said was true.
In just 120 trillion years, there have been three Heavenly Venerables. Every 60 trillion years, the Heavenly Venerable Mountain descends, and a God-King will surely attain the Heavenly Venerable status!
Three god-kings have achieved "time freeze," and even a special god-king like Cao Ya has emerged. —She was unaware of Qin Yu's existence!
Xue Yun was well aware that until she became a Celestial Venerable, her status would continue to decline with the passage of time.
Those who surpass her will continue to emerge, and god-kings who rival her will also be born one after another!
Xue Yun had little confidence that he could "reverse time" and attain the status of a Celestial Venerable.
Her goal remains the same: Mount Tianzun!
There's no need to collect all the magical treasures and fight for that newest "Celestial Venerable" spot.
As long as one can obtain one or two parts of the Celestial Treasure and comprehend the time laws contained within them.
If one does this many times, one might be able to attain enlightenment independently, and one's status would surely surpass that of a Heavenly Venerable who attained enlightenment through a shortcut!
As a close friend of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, and also the "Time Freeze" God King, she had met all three Celestial Venerables.
It is obvious that neither Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable nor Carefree Celestial Venerable is as good as Floating Feather Celestial Venerable.
Xue Yun thought to himself, "The first time at Tianzun Mountain, Lei Fa Tianzun was directly chosen. At that time, the world had just been created, there were few living beings, and no god-kings had risen. He became a lucky one, which is acceptable."
The second appearance of the Heavenly Venerable Mountain occurred when the God Realm had a history of sixty quadrillion years. There were many God Kings who participated in the competition. In the end, more than ten God Kings died, including the Nine Nether God King, who was at the level of "time freezing". However, the Carefree God King seemed to have been chosen by the Floating Feather Heavenly Venerable and was able to advance!
Clearly, both Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable and Carefree Celestial Venerable took shortcuts.
Only the ethereal Celestial Venerable of unknown origin has cultivated independently and become even more powerful!
This is also what Xue Yun emulated!
Of course, if she really had the chance to collect all the spiritual treasures in Tianzun Mountain and get a spot, she wouldn't refuse.
However, this is too difficult; the Asura God King is a formidable enemy!
Although their cultivation levels are the same, they are missing a top-tier spiritual treasure. Even though Xue Yun is arrogant, he must acknowledge the title of the number one god king in the god realm, the Asura God King!
Moreover, the combined might of the eight Holy Emperors is not to be underestimated, and may even surpass that of the Asura God King!
Even if five or six Holy Emperors attacked together, they could still threaten her.
And then there's Cao Ya, the God-King, right before our eyes...
Xue Yun was in a heavy mood. Proud as she was, she certainly didn't want to fall behind, but that's just how things are.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the sky above the divine realm turned crimson, and endless red clouds abruptly appeared!
Even the vast land and the boundless ocean were reflected in a bright red!
"This is... a top-tier spiritual treasure has been crafted?!" Xue Yun looked up, his eyes widening in surprise.
Cao Ya wasn't too surprised. With a quick scan of his divine sense, he knew it was Qin Yu. In the Arctic Snow City, Qin Yu had used his comprehension and the primordial spiritual energy of the new universe to refine a first-class spiritual treasure in order to obtain the third spot!
Such red clouds covering the divine realm are a sign of the birth of a top-tier spiritual treasure!
After that, there was also the Thunder of Spiritual Treasures, but its power was not strong; a first-rate spiritual treasure could be easily shattered.
It's just a symbol, a declaration to the divine realm.
"Boom!" At the top of the sky, colorful lightning clouds gathered and spread towards Snowdrift City, conducting the final tempering of the birth of a first-class spiritual treasure.
At this moment, the entire divine realm was in an uproar!
The scene when the "God of Craftsmanship" Che Houyuan forged a first-class spiritual treasure is recorded in many ancient books, and many people were even eyewitnesses!
Now that I see it again, I immediately understand what this scene means.
The gods and immortals were naturally horrified. After Che Houyuan, was a second "God of Craftsmen" about to be born in the divine realm? Who was it?
Meanwhile, the God-Kings spread their divine senses to observe Snowdrift City, where they saw Qin Yu holding a scepter, receiving the baptism of seven-colored lightning within Jiang Lan's mansion.
"Qin Yu, the new master craftsman... no! He should be called the new 'God of Craftsmen'!"
The kings of the gods were amazed, and also felt a surge of excitement.
Who wouldn't crave a top-tier spiritual treasure?
But after glancing at where Qin Yu was, he sighed again.
This new "God of Crafts" clearly has an excellent relationship with the God King of the Wood Palace.
Not to mention, Qin Yu is also participating in the marriage proposal conference, so it's impossible for the Arctic Holy Emperor to refuse him.
"Qin Yu... I've never heard of him before?" In the far west of the Western Sea, Xue Yun frowned.
“He’s an Ascended Being, of course you wouldn’t know that,” Cao Ya smiled.
"Oh, you know him?" Xue Yun raised an eyebrow.
At this point, neither of them made a move, both coveting the top-tier spiritual treasure!
