"Whoosh." Cao Ya teleported instantly, avoiding the summoning ribbon.
This kind of spiritual treasure is inherently imbued with the Way of Death of the Divine Realm, and is activated by the God King of Death, making its attack power extremely terrifying and capable of posing a fatal threat to the God King!
If Cao Ya were to use another extraordinary system, he could withstand it head-on and even destroy the Soul-Summoning Silk!
But since so far we've only been using our own cultivation to fight the God of Death... we can't take too many risks!
Cao Ya ignored the numerous ringing sounds; eight-colored light reverberated and burst forth between heaven and earth.
His actions were also extremely swift. As time flowed by, he moved countless times faster, while his opponent slowed down. Even the brainwashing bell, which came along with the fluctuations of the law of death, moved as slowly as a tortoise.
Under the passage of time, all are equal!
"Hmph, the Law of Time? I can do that too!" The Goddess of Death sneered. Her mastery of the Law of Time far surpassed Cao Ya's!
Although it did not reach the level of "time standing still", the "time acceleration" was definitely more than tens of thousands of times!
It can accelerate by hundreds of thousands, or even millions of times!
"Buzz..." Surrounded by the aura of time, the Death God King's speed suddenly increased!
“No! It’s not that she’s gotten faster, it’s that I’ve gotten slower!” Cao Ya’s eyes flickered.
The other party accelerated time, while the flow of time around him was slowed down.
Back and forth they went, and the Death God King's speed was naturally swift, surpassing Cao Ya's!
The only saving grace is that in the Stellar Transformation universe, any cultivator who achieves even a little success has an infinite lifespan and enjoys immortality. No matter how much "time is accelerated," they will never die of old age.
However, if this continues, Cao Ya's situation will definitely become increasingly unfavorable!
With the most suitable spiritual treasure in hand, the destructive power of the Death God King is beyond imagination, and it is possible to kill the God King!
"Blue Lightning Hammer!" With a thought, Cao Ya immediately conjured up the second Primordial Spiritual Treasure bestowed by the Carefree Celestial Venerable. The hammer swung through the air, accompanied by roaring blue lightning!
"Bang!" It was as if a god was striking a hammer; amidst the deafening roar, boundless lightning exploded!
The entire ice continent trembled in fear, and countless creatures were gripped by terror!
Those gods were even more terrified, their fear originating from their very souls!
Such power overwhelmed the vast Iceland, and the surrounding seas were also in turmoil, with the sky and earth losing their color!
Undoubtedly, this is a duel between god-kings. The black aura is churning and the Ice Palace Hell is shaking, making the gods realize that there must be an outside god-king, who is fighting against the God-King of Death for some unknown reason!
The gods felt bitter inside; even the slightest aftershock of the battle between the god-kings could shatter the void!
No matter how powerful you are as a celestial being, you are nothing but an ant in the hands of the God-King.
But if they were to escape... the gods could only fly, not teleport. Iceland was big enough, and the sea was vast and boundless... Besides, could the gods' speed of escape compare to the teleportation of a god-king?
All we can do is pray that the God-King, with his immense power, doesn't even consider them a threat and won't bother to look at them seriously!
It's also because this place is remote, at the extreme of the North Sea, far from the continent of the gods, by at least hundreds of billions of miles!
Such a vast distance, even the highest gods would have to fly for a long time to reach!
No god-king would be so bored as to spread his divine sense here.
Currently, many god-kings are focusing their attention on the South China Sea, observing the candidates as they prepare to complete their second mission!
No one cares about Beihai, or even the East China Sea and the West China Sea.
Otherwise, the entire divine realm would know that two god-kings have engaged in a great battle!
Such earth-shattering news will instantly shake the divine realm and become a hot topic among the god-kings!
But now, only the creatures of the Ice Continent can sense it and are terrified.
"Boom!!" The lightning roared, drawing upon the lightning laws of the divine realm, its power growing even stronger!
With the Blue Lightning Hammer providing cover and having mastered the basics of divine lightning laws, Cao Ya seized the opportunity to unleash the lightning intents of the universes like [Panlong] and [Perfect World], mixing them together to greatly increase their power!
Originally, the laws of other universes could not be used in the Linmon universe without the permission of the controller.
The immense power within the system space is incredible. The power shared by others, when cultivated, varies in strength depending on the realm and whether the Heavenly Dao imposes any restrictions.
But Cao Ya himself has no such worries and can freely express himself, being incredibly powerful!
He only needs to be careful not to let others notice anything amiss, lest a more powerful being, driven by greed, attack and kill him!
This put the Death God King under considerable strain and greatly surprised him.
Her soul-summoning bell, under the thunder, vanished instantly, turning into smoke and dust.
Even as lightning struck, shattering the void, the Death God King sensed danger!
"You, a newly promoted God-King, actually possess two second-rate spiritual treasures... Ah, that's right, you've passed through the Heavenly Staircase, so you must be summoned by the Heavenly Venerable and bestowed with treasures!"
The God of Death suddenly realized, then became puzzled, and said, "However, your lightning law is so strong, it is no less than my death law... Could it be that you had already pushed it to near perfection when you were a Celestial God?"
Cao Ya did not answer the Death God King's question. He struck with his blue lightning hammer, and lightning struck down!
Furthermore, a myriad of colors of light spread out, combining with the laws of time and superimposing divine power, causing the Dao principles to surge, forcefully breaking free from the Death God King's powerful "time acceleration" restraint!
Both sides have perfected their spatial laws, so there is no question of superiority or inferiority.
The true meaning of death contained in the Soul-Summoning Ribbon was blocked by the Blue Lightning Hammer and the Law of Thunder!
At this point, all of the Death God King's powerful divine abilities were completely blocked, and he was unable to achieve any results!
Space, time, death, the sound of guiding souls, the soul-summoning ribbon—none of them can give you an advantage!
This situation undoubtedly caused the Death God King to change color and feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
"This is actually the newly promoted God-King???" The God-King of Death exclaimed in disbelief.
She asked herself, if her combat power were to be fully unleashed, she would definitely rank among the top in the vast God Realm, among the dozens of God Kings!
Even if those eight Holy Emperors didn't possess top-tier spiritual treasures, they might not necessarily be able to defeat her!
Even if we include Lingbao, although it may not make the top ten, it's definitely in the top twenty!
But instead, he was blocked head-on by a newly enlightened god-king!
Even the God of Death couldn't help but wonder if Cao Ya was the Celestial Venerable's disciple...
That's unlikely! Even among the disciples of the Celestial Venerable, there are those who are only at the Celestial God Realm!
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the God of Death felt a chill run down his spine. He saw Cao Ya holding the purple-gold sword, raising it high. The sharp sword intent pierced through heaven and earth, shattering nothingness!
"Whoosh!" Cao Ya brandished his purple-gold sword, and in an instant, purple-gold sword energy surged and covered the sky!
Although he himself had little understanding of swordsmanship, he had learned six-star and even seven-star swordsmanship in his universes such as [Peerless One], [Perfect World], and [Immortal Gourd], so his cultivation level was not low!
Now, with the blessing of the Purple Gold Sword, a second-rate spiritual treasure, its power is terrifying and enough to threaten even the God King!
"I give up."
Suddenly, the God of Death withdrew the Soul-Summoning Silk, the black mist dissipated, and he surrendered decisively.
She simply didn't have any more energy left to block such a powerful sword light!
If he didn't admit defeat, even the God of Death suspected that he would be killed by the God of Cao Ya with a single sword strike!
Of course, this was an overreaction from the God of Death. Cao Ya had no grudge against Cao Ya and no intention to kill him.
I do want to continue fighting and comprehend the laws of death in the realm of gods.
"Whoosh." Cao Ya controlled the sword light and lightning with ease, flicking his finger to completely conceal them, and then put the Blue Lightning Hammer and Purple Gold Sword into his body.
With a bang, the laws of time, space, and the eight fundamental laws all vanished.
"My combat strength is not bad." Cao Ya was quite satisfied with the results of this battle.
Zuo Qiulin, the God of Death, is definitely not inferior in the God Realm!
However, Cao Ya was able to defeat him mainly by relying on his own abilities and his other skills in lightning, which shows how powerful he was.
Zuo Qiulin stared at Cao Ya and suddenly said, "Your chances of becoming a Celestial Venerable are probably even greater than those of the Asura God King!"
This isn't flattery, but rather a reflection based on personal experience.
No one knows the past of the Floating Feather Celestial Venerable, but let's not talk about that. The Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable attained enlightenment at the beginning of the creation of the world, but he did not cultivate independently. He obtained the first great opportunity of the Celestial Venerable Mountain!
The Carefree Celestial Venerable descended from Celestial Venerable Mountain sixty quadrillion years ago and successfully ascended to the Celestial Venerable realm.
To date, no God-King in the native realm of the Gods has independently attained the status of Heavenly Venerable!
Even the closest Asura God-King was stuck in the realm of "time stillness" for countless trillions of years, still unable to comprehend "time reversal".
However, Cao Ya's performance was astonishing. Zuo Qiulin, who was always proud, had to admit that her talent was far inferior to Cao Ya's!
"Then I'll take your good wishes." Cao Ya smiled. In the near future, a new Heavenly Venerable Mountain will descend, and spiritual treasures will be born. He will compete, but he does not want to rely on initiation to achieve enlightenment.
In that case, there would be no hope of becoming the controller.
Why do we try to comprehend the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder and lightning, light, and darkness?
If you simply focus on the Celestial Venerable, once you've mastered the Space Realm, you only need to devote all your energy to the Laws of Time.
Isn't it precisely because the controller of the Seven Stars still has a glimmer of desire?
"I can't beat you, so I'll give you this 'Death Bell'," Zuo Qiulin said coldly.
With a wave of her hand, she tossed a black divine bell across the void and landed in front of Cao Ya.
Cao Ya was taken aback. He didn't mean that. He came here simply to spar and experience the laws of death!
"Stop pretending." Zuo Qiulin sneered, "That is a treasure I crafted, containing some of my insights into the laws of death."
"My second-rate spiritual treasure—the Soul-Summoning Silk... I can't possibly give that to you!"
"If you insist on forcing it, then it's just a matter of continuing the fight!"
"Indeed, I can't beat you, I'm not as good as you, but you can't 'freeze space' or 'stop time'. I'm focused on escaping, so even if you catch up, so what?"
"Of all the god-kings in the divine realm, how many would be happy to see you continue to grow stronger?"
"Don't think that just because you're a native of the divine realm and one of the eight royal families, you'll be accepted!"
"The three major ascendant powers will not consider you one of their own!"
"My silly sister has no sense of crisis, and as a result..."
As Zuo Qiulin spoke, her face was somber, and a hint of sadness and resentment flashed in her eyes!
Cao Ya sighed softly, “Life God King” Zuo Qiumei was besieged by the eight Holy Emperors. The eight first-class spiritual treasures resonated and froze the space. No matter how strong you are, you cannot teleport. You cannot resist and there is only one way out: death!
Only by "freezing time" can we counteract "freezing space"!
Despite Zuo Qiulin's cold and aloof demeanor, she still cares about her younger sister, with whom she shared joys and sorrows, rose from the mortal realm together, and ultimately ascended to the divine realm.
However, the space was frozen, and she was not strong enough to break through it!
Even the "space freeze" cast by five or six Holy Emperors and the "time stop" of the Asura God King can be countered, but when the eight Holy Emperors join forces... even the Asura God King must retreat!
As for Zuo Qiulin's statement that she could save her life by simply running away...
Cao Ya pondered that if he were to unleash his full power, even if he did not become a God-King who could "stop time," he would be very confident that he could kill him, even if he possessed a first-class spiritual treasure!
Unless they form an alliance like the Eight Great Holy Emperors... even so, three or four Holy Emperors are enough to defeat them!
Only when the eight Holy Emperors appeared at the same time, and the eight first-class spiritual treasures displayed their power simultaneously, could Cao Ya be made to be wary!
Of course, Cao Ya didn't intend to kill the God of Death.
They had no intention of revealing their full strength, and they would not refute the Death God King's words.
“Then I’ll be shameless and accept your ‘Divine Bell’,” Cao Ya said, raising his hand to take the “Death Bell”.
In that instant, he perceived the boundless true meaning of death.
Suddenly, Cao Ya's heart stirred. If he could use this to enter the realm of death and understand the laws of life in the future... Life and death would appear together, permeating the universe he would create in the future, constantly flowing, resonating with time and space, light and darkness, supported by the five elements, and the judgment of lightning...
Perhaps, there is an even greater possibility of surpassing the Celestial Venerable and attaining the status of a Controller!
"What a pity, the Meteor Tear wasn't in my hands, otherwise, life or death..." Cao Ya couldn't help but sigh.
Throughout the history of the divine realm, the one with the deepest understanding of the laws of life was none other than the deceased God of Life, Zuo Qiumei!
His last remaining possessions were two meteor tears, one belonging to Jiang Li and the other to Qin Yu.
Since they were not enemies, Cao Ya would not have the audacity to steal it.
"Heh heh, you're going to attend the marriage contest in the Arctic Snowdrift City? That damned Arctic Holy Emperor will definitely be eager to marry his daughter to you!" The Death God King sneered, harboring a deep hatred for the Arctic Holy Emperor.
Cao Ya was speechless for a moment, then said, "Qin Yu and Jiang Li met in the mortal realm and fell in love. Qin Yu and I are also friends, so how can I interfere?"
"Besides, without the Meteor Tear, am I really unable to even begin to understand the laws of life?"
Cao Ya shook his head, saying that universes like [Panlong] also have insights into life.
Different universes do have differences, but they also always have commonalities.
As long as you are willing to work hard, you may not be able to achieve great success, but you can still get started, or even achieve some success.
"Do you really think cultivating the laws is so simple?" Zuo Qiulin scoffed, then suddenly stopped.
Judging from Cao Ya's condition, he might actually be able to grasp the basics of the Laws of Life!
Upon thinking of this, Zuo Qiulin's face darkened. With a wave of her hand, black energy surged, covering the underground palace once again and spreading throughout the Ice Mansion Hell.
"Arrogant." Cao Ya pouted, then teleported away from the North Sea.
"Damn Cao Ya!" Zuo Qiulin, who was in the hall, was furious and humiliated. She gritted her teeth and cursed Cao Ya in a low voice.
But to fly out, spread one's divine sense, find Cao Ya, and then engage in battle...
Then forget it!
Zuo Qiulin didn't want to be beaten into a stray dog and discovered by many kings of the God Realm!
