"Buzz." The faint light of the thousand-eyed water droplets on Cao Ya's body protected him from being killed by the residual magic power of the giant serpent.
He glanced around, feeling quite reluctant; so many treasures, and he could only look at them...
"Forget it, I can't be greedy and try to swallow an elephant. My gains are already satisfactory."
Cao Ya whispered, his figure flashing as he disappeared into the largest ball of light.
He glanced at the true appearance of the Broken Tooth Mountains, then finally turned his gaze away and plunged directly into the black boulder.
With a "whoosh," the scenery instantly changed, and Cao Ya was plunged into a blood-red bubble. Then, he tore through space, left the Serpent Fang Corridor, and traversed the vast Hunyuan Space.
Both the Boundary Heart Continent and the Broken Tooth Mountain Range were instantly left behind.
The speed at which these blood-red bubbles moved was beyond imagination; even the Void Dao's "Ultimate Realm," despite its utmost effort, could not match even a fraction of their speed.
"As expected of 'Yuan's' divine power!" Cao Ya praised inwardly. He wouldn't frantically try to escape from the bubble. With his abilities, he could only survive for a short time in the infinite chaotic space. If he couldn't find the source world in time and escape into it, his fate would be certain death.
Moreover, this time, he wasn't traveling to some source world to become a king.
The ultimate goal remains the Thunder World! To rival the God Emperor at the pinnacle of perfection, and even more so, to search for the remains of the Primordial Chaos!
"Moreover, the spatial passage constructed by 'Yuan' avoids the source worlds along the way."
Cao Ya looked around and occasionally caught a glimpse of a source world through the "bubbles," but it was quickly forgotten.
Cao Ya was increasingly amazed. The complete Origin World was vast and boundless. Even for someone just entering the Emperor level of the Void Dao, it would take a considerable amount of time to cross over, yet he had done so in an instant…
In a short while, seven or eight Origin Worlds disappeared from his sight.
"The strength of the Lord of Hunyuan is unparalleled throughout history!" Cao Ya exclaimed. A high-level Seven Star Realm expert is not just a name without substance.
Unfortunately, it's too difficult to break through the law with force... In fact, whether one can even make it on the path to enlightenment is another matter entirely.
"Hmm, that is..." Suddenly, Cao Ya's pupils shrank slightly as he saw a huge primordial life form roaming freely in the infinite primordial space. The aura emanating from it was enough to crush a God Emperor!
"Advanced Chaos Origin Life Form!"
However, before Cao Ya could even get a clear look at the enormous creature, and before the creature could react, it had already vanished in a flash, quickly reaching a distance of hundreds of light-years.
"Who is that?" The chaotic life form also noticed Cao Ya's gaze and was startled.
Especially when it discovered that the person's movement speed was so fast that even as a high-level Chaos Origin life form, it couldn't match even a tenth of that speed, despite its full effort!
This realization filled the mind of this advanced Chaos Origin life form with trepidation.
"Is it a world-class chaotic origin life form, or... which lord?"
It gazed in the direction where the person had disappeared, its expression one of reverence.
As a higher-level primordial life form, it is even more aware of the power of beings at the world level and above!
Of course, it was a misunderstanding. If it really met Cao Ya in person, it could easily wipe him out with a single slap.
On the other side, Cao Ya continued to travel through the water bubble. Later on, he saw more and more Origin Worlds and Primordial Life Forms, at least two or three hundred!
Cao Ya estimated that the distance they had traveled was more than trillions of light-years!
"Boom..." Finally, Cao Ya approached that world of thunder.
"We're almost there!" Cao Ya exclaimed excitedly, looking out at the golden world in the distance.
"Bang bang!!!" Every moment, that golden world was colliding with the infinite primordial space, and the booming sounds were endless.
All that could be seen was a dense array of golden lightning bolts, piercing through all directions, each one powerful enough to obliterate a God Emperor!
If a supreme being from the Broken Tooth Mountains, unaware of the origins of the Thunder World, were to travel here and witness this scene, he would be astonished.
After all, normally speaking, the origin world, whether it was conceived by the innate universe or created by the Hunyuan Lord, is perfectly integrated with the infinite Hunyuan space and completely coexisted. There would be no such intense collision, as if there were an irreconcilable conflict.
However, this golden world is not the origin world, but a special world created by three high-level primordial life forms. It is a place for nurturing and tempering God Emperors, and also a place where their descendants live and multiply.
"The three advanced primordial life forms are the Heavenly Heart Goddess, the Polar Star Ancestral God, and the Golden Saint Ancestral God."
"These three individuals have all achieved enlightenment through their bloodline system, realizing 'ultimate awakening'."
"Among the Hunyuan life forms, they are basically just ordinary characters."
"Only the Heavenly Heart Goddess, the leader of the three, is in a better position. Her cultivation is still growing, and there is still hope for her to break through to the world-class Chaos Origin Life Form. She is also valued by the lord. As for the Polar Star Ancestral God and the Golden Saint Ancestral God... well, it can't be said that they have no chance at all. After all, they are high-level Chaos Origin Life Forms with good aptitude and comprehension. It's just that the probability of this is too weak and can be almost ignored."
Of course, even the weakest advanced Chaos Origin life form would have no difficulty killing a God Emperor at the peak of his power.
Taking that step, even if it's the "ultimate awakening," will result in a fundamental transformation.
This is the difference between heaven and earth; no matter how extraordinary you are, you can only look on in envy.
"Whoosh." Just as Cao Ya was recalling the relevant information, the blood-red bubble had already carried him into the world of thunder.
Although the golden lightning roared continuously, colliding with the primordial energy, it swept past the water bubble but couldn't budge it in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, the bubble carried Cao Ya and landed somewhere in the Thunder World.
At the same time, three terrifying beings noticed the anomaly.
"Something has entered our world?" Empress Tianxin whispered.
"Is it a treasure from the Infinite Chaos Space, or..." The Ancestral God of Polar Star pondered.
Jin Shengzu Shen used his great divine power to mobilize the origin of the Thunder World and trace back to the past, but still found nothing, as if their previous senses were false.
Empress Tianxin lowered her eyelids, chuckled softly, and said, "If that's the case, then the result is obvious."
"Yes." The Polar Star Ancestral God and the Golden Saint Ancestral God also nodded.
They were well aware of the crucial mission they had undertaken in the Thunder World they had created.
In a sense, this is their duty, and they don't have to go to the borderlands to confront those naturally occurring chaotic life forms. They don't need to fight bloody battles; they can simply manage the Thunder World well here, cultivate God Emperors, and try to produce as many Perfect Realm beings as possible, which would be ideal.
At that time, they will have also contributed to their own camp, which can shut some people up.
"Well, from now on, we just need to pay close attention to what special characters will emerge in the Thunder World in the future, and we will be able to see everything," said Empress Tianxin gently.
(
As soon as he finished speaking, the three high-level Chaos Origin life forms also disappeared.
"Plop." Meanwhile, on Cao Ya's side, the bubble fell with incredible speed. He didn't even have time to discern his surroundings or which city was before he landed.
This is normal. After all, the complete source world is only fleetingly visible. Although the Thunder World is vast, in essence, it is still inferior to the source world.
"This is one of the reasons I have the confidence to venture into the Thunder World." Cao Ya lowered his head, and a blood-red mark appeared on his wrist. It flashed and then disappeared.
Cao Ya pondered that, apart from him, as a trainee, who could clearly perceive this hidden mark, even the three high-level Chaos Origin life forms would probably be unable to detect it.
"Three chances, each activation will teleport me to a new special world."
"And the Thunder World is the first! The Despair World is the second, and as for the third..."
Cao Ya shook his head. The opportunity left behind by "Yuan" is located inside the Serpent Fang Corridor, and can only be obtained by top experts from the Realm Heart Continent and the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. — The Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl and the Serpent Fang Marrow Pearl are not treasures that ordinary royal-level experts can covet.
For a powerful individual at the peak of the Emperor level, or at the very least, the late Emperor level, "Yuan" carefully selected three special planes, from low to high, with vastly different cultivation civilizations and various beings of the same level. These planes allow for combat, experiencing the styles of different civilizations, honing the skills of experts, understanding the essence of the Great Dao, comprehending their own shortcomings, and perfecting their path forward.
It's obvious that Thunder World is the weakest of the three worlds.
Even so, in every generation of the Thunder World, there are at least several dozen God Emperors at the Perfection stage!
The second world of despair is even more so, gathering heroes from many source worlds and special worlds, with countless God Emperors at the peak of their power.
That third world is probably even more ferocious than the world of despair!
Although Cao Ya had no intention of activating the mark and traveling again.
But no matter what, if a critical moment really comes, a thought can activate teleportation, which can be considered a way out.
Of course, Cao Ya absolutely did not want things to come to this.
There's no way around it; the world of despair is too dangerous. Even a God Emperor at the peak of his power can easily perish.
Unless Cao Ya's own cultivation reaches the level of a perfect God Emperor, he is unlikely to leave the Thunder World.
Anyway, there are plenty of God Emperors at the Perfection level here... Most importantly, there are quite a lot of low-level Chaos Origin life forms and ancient Chaos Origin corpses, enough for his research.
Cao Ya thought to himself, "If I were in the Thunder World, I could achieve my goal and reach the pinnacle..."
"That despairing world is fraught with crisis. The high-level Chaos Origin life forms imprisoned there, though weakened by the restrictions of the Chaos Origin Lords, and becoming weaker the farther they are from their lair, could indeed become training targets for those at the peak and late stages of the God Emperor realm. However, there are always exceptions."
"In the original book, the reason why Emperor Beihe and others died was because of this kind of accident."
"There's no way around it. High-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms are already at the initial stage of the Seven Stars, and their abilities are extremely formidable. Chaos Origin Lords, as high-level Seven Stars, are indeed much stronger. However, the lords have many tasks and heavy responsibilities, and they can't always pay attention to the World of Despair. They only occasionally take a look to see if there are any outstanding figures."
"Even if an unexpected event has an extremely low probability, there are ways to remedy it. But when the time is stretched out to trillions of years, it will eventually happen."
Advanced Chaos Origin Life Forms, especially those that can struggle out of captivity, reach new heights, and touch the threshold of World-Class Chaos Origin Life Forms, thus overcoming this insurmountable barrier—a feat previously held by naturally born Chaos Origin Life Forms…
The abilities of these prisoners are terrifying; even the Heavenly Heart Goddess of the Thunder World would pale in comparison.
Cao Ya felt that even if he reached the pinnacle of the God Emperor realm, his overall combat strength would soar even higher, barely enough to keep him alive against the weakest high-level Chaos Origin lifeforms. But against such a ruthless character, death would be the only outcome.
Therefore, unless he encounters an insurmountable bottleneck or a fatal crisis, Cao Ya will stay in the Thunder World and will not think about activating the mark to go to that world of despair.
"As expected, this step has come..." Cao Ya suddenly sighed.
After the blood-red bubbles dissipated, his body began to change. Starting from the most basic unit of flesh and blood tissue, from the cells, it gradually shattered, the gene chain collapsed, and the entire body was about to disintegrate.
Because he was familiar with the situation in the Thunder World, Cao Ya did not panic.
"The laws and rules of the source world are basically the same, with little difference."
"But after arriving in the special world, it underwent a change because it was made by a powerful expert from the Chaos Origin realm."
“Different Hunyuan experts have vastly different paths to enlightenment, and the worlds they create are also quite different.”
"The same rules might still work with difficulty, but they will definitely cause problems!"
"Just like my physical body, even though I've reached the 'ultimate realm' in the Broken Tooth Mountains, I still can't get rid of this barrier."
"In fact, the same applies to the 'ultimate' laws such as the Way of Fire, the Way of Wind, the Way of Void, the Way of Destruction, and the Way of Death."
"That is precisely why traveling through special worlds can help the God Emperors achieve enlightenment."
Even as his physical body disintegrated, Cao Ya still felt emotional and sentimental.
What is Hunyuan? It is the ability to traverse the infinite Hunyuan space, to refine Hunyuan Qi at will, to create heaven and earth, and to ignore the limitations of various rules. The existence of the true self is enough to be eternal.
For cultivators, the foundation lies in the divine laws of the Great Dao.
While wandering through the Origin World and Special Worlds, the Great Dao encounters problems. What seems like a crisis is, in fact, an excellent opportunity!
When problems arise, practitioners can then clearly understand which parts of their principles are universally applicable across all realms, and which are more limited and require change and improvement.
In this process of continuous correction, the practitioner's skill level naturally rises step by step, becoming stronger and stronger.
Until finally, perhaps, one can touch the realm of primordial chaos and be qualified to attempt the ultimate leap.
"In fact, all the extraordinary systems within the system space behave in a similar way in this respect."
Cao Ya muttered to himself that the extraordinary power from other universes could still be used in the [Snow Eagle Lord] universe. In fact, due to the system space, even the Hunyuan Lord could not see through it.
But it is ultimately another universe. Using the divine power of other systems will undoubtedly weaken the original universe's performance to some extent, resulting in a decline.
This is an unavoidable situation.
Otherwise, with so many five-star and six-star Cao Yas, how could their combined power be merely that of a normal God Emperor at the peak of his power?!
His other magical powers were limited to some extent.
Of course, the existence of the system space can be ignored to some extent, and it can still be used, but the combat power still soars, far exceeding the cultivation level of [Snow Eagle Lord] Cao Ya.
"Hmm, my peak mid-stage God Emperor realm is also starting to decline."
"I need to adapt to the environment of the Thunder World first, adjust myself, and return to my peak!"
Cao Ya wasn't in a hurry to determine which city this place was near. He focused on experiencing the collapse of his physical body and the distortion of the Great Dao, gaining some insights.
