Unlike Hong Tianzun's anger, Zu Shenwang, though chilled to the bone, was not yet hysterical.
Moreover, the Ancestral God King only faced a portion of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao principles, mainly the blade light of Qin Mu and his group, which was very powerful and the Ancestral God King was wary of it.
After all, some of their power was diverted by the heavens, preventing them from focusing their efforts on dealing with Qin Mu and his group.
Both Qin Mu and the Butcher have made breakthroughs, and their gleaming blades are even more ferocious. Even a True Celestial Venerable like the Ancestral God King would not dare to underestimate them.
"That damned Cao Ya!"
Suddenly, the Ancestral God King roared in anger.
This nonsensical behavior left everyone stunned.
"Cao Ya, that damned bastard!"
"Why wasn't he killed during the chaos in the Yuan Realm?!"
Despite the critical situation, the Ancestral God King did not berate the powerful figures he was fighting, but instead angrily rebuked Cao Ya. This behavior was baffling.
But then Qin Mu and the others realized what was going on.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Cao Ya Tianzun, who was so powerful that even several Tianzun could not defeat him and could only barely manage a draw.
Otherwise, if those celestial beings had free time, would this war still have any suspense?
The Ancestral God King and the Heavenly Venerable Hong will not be in any danger.
However, everyone underestimated Cao Ya.
Including the heroes who came from Yankang!
Village chief Su Muzhe, the pharmacist, Si Youyou, the cripple, the deaf, the mute, the blind, and the masters of past emperors were all dumbfounded and found it unbelievable.
"Back then, we were clearly cultivators on the same level. How come, over the years, Cao Ya Tianzun has risen above Tianzun, while we are still not even on the throne?" The group of human emperors were frustrated, but inwardly they were truly delighted.
The existence of Cao Yatian is the guardian deity of Yankang. Like a giant tree supporting the sky, it holds up the Heavenly Court and strives for survival space for Yankang.
Now, Cao Ya Tianzun is going to turn the tables and destroy the ruler of the Heavenly Court!
The experts from Wuyou Township, including Yan Yunxi, were even more shocked.
"Hiss~~" The emperors of the Heavenly Court, including the Lingxiao and Yujing soldiers under their command, were all terrified.
The terrifying Cao Tianzun could turn them into mush with a single, casual strike.
Their fighting spirit waned, and they all began to consider retreating.
However, there's a concern about those Celestial Venerables. What if something unexpected happens, such as the Jade Celestial Venerable breaking through the Kaihuang Emperor's obstruction and arriving in Xuandu to join the battle...
"Let's wait and see!"
This was their plan; if the overall battle situation deteriorated at the slightest sign, they would immediately flee or surrender.
We will absolutely not put up a fight!
"Wait! Now, I am the master of the Heavenly Dao, and I can manipulate the forty-nine Heavenly Daos to manifest within Xuandu."
Suddenly, the Heavenly Emperor pondered, and the Heavenly Way relinquished power, allowing it to take complete control.
Then, the forty-nine Heavenly Paths roared and showered down millions of rays of light to protect the beings of Xuandu, as well as the gods who came to their aid.
Qin Mu and his group of five, who had previously attacked the Heavenly Emperor, were once again blessed by the Heavenly Dao.
Even Cao Ya, who threatened the existence of Xuandu and could potentially destroy the Heavenly Dao and make it cease to exist, assisted the Forty-Nine Heavenly Daos, and the power of his moves increased slightly in an instant.
This is already terrible.
It should be noted that Cao Ya's strength stands at the very peak of the Seventeenth Era—Tai Yi's situation is special, and fundamentally speaking, he is not a being of the Seventeenth Era, so he is not considered for the time being—even the slightest increase in his divine arts would be enough to cause his enemies headaches and fear.
"boom!!"
Cao Ya's sword light covered the heavens and the earth. Part of it attacked and killed Langxuan Divine Emperor, while a huge Kunpeng phantom roared and attacked, its golden light dazzling, like the roar of the sea. That heavenly palace was almost shattered.
If it weren't for that withered Dao Fruit, emanating a strange aura that flowed in all directions and stabilized the incomplete Heavenly Court, Emperor Langxuan would have died on the spot from this one move.

"How could this be..." The Divine Emperor Langxuan was terrified. Since becoming a Heavenly Venerable, he had never felt such a threat of death. It was so close, and it seemed that he would perish at any moment.
"My treasure, unleash your power to help me defeat the enemy!" With a thought, the Divine Emperor Langxuan's Dao Fruit spun faster and faster, and the Dao aura on the Divine Emperor Langxuan's body also grew stronger and stronger. His Dao Realm improved rapidly, and he quickly reached the level of the twenty-eighth level of the Dao Realm!
Furthermore, he is about to break through to the 29th or even 30th level of the Dao Realm.
The Dao Fruit is guaranteed to be a remnant of the 39th level of the Dao Realm. Even if it is smuggled to the 17th era, the losses will be enormous, but the leakage of some of its secrets can help the Divine Emperor Langxuan to make a significant improvement.
If we disregard Cao Ya's account, there were no enlightened beings among the so-called Heavenly Venerables of the Seventeenth Era.
Even Consort Qiangtian was not one of them. Her true form, the Supreme Emperor, was the one who attained enlightenment, and even then, she still relied on external forces.
The development of a normal era takes hundreds of billions of years.
The 17th century was only a few billion years old, and it was indeed still in its early stages, not yet having evolved to its peak.
Of course, the large-scale smuggling of prehistoric enlightened beings caused a severe depletion of energy in this era. If it cannot be sustained, it may collapse and end in one or two billion years, around the seventeenth era.
The preceding sixteenth century was a period that encountered such a situation.
"Haha, I am both a Celestial Venerable of the Divine Palace system, approaching the Great Heavenly Court realm, and a profound figure of the Dao Realm system. I am only a few heavens away from attaining the Dao!"
Langxuan Divine Emperor laughed loudly, appearing arrogant, and shouted: "Cao Ya Heavenly Venerable, let me show you the power of my Primordial Divine Power! Even if Kaihuang came, he would be killed by me now!"
"You won't beat me if you only use part of your strength and not your full power!"
After speaking, the Divine Emperor Langxuan actually used a different secret technique of the Primordial Law, no longer just the "Divine Essence Finger". The Dao Fruit floated in the vast ocean of magical power, and wisps of magical charm permeated the air, bringing great benefits to the Divine Emperor Langxuan.
He unleashed all twenty-eight forms of the Primordial Divine Power, traversing Xuandu to clash with Cao Ya's sword light, engaging in a fierce battle. For a time, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position.
It should be noted that the original "Divine Essence Finger" was already incredibly powerful with just this one move. Now, the Primordial Divine Power of the Langxuan Divine Emperor has increased more than twenty times. Even if there are problems with it, the Dao Fruit can compensate for them, allowing the divine power of the Primordial Dao to be fully displayed, which is earth-shattering!
"Langxuan has become quite formidable!"
Lady Yuanmu and Consort Qiangtian were surprised, but also delighted. Now, these several Celestial Venerables were all in the same boat, and the stronger the Divine Emperor Langxuan was, the better.
The two ancient Taiji gods were moved.
"The foundation of enlightenment..." They looked at that Dao Fruit with immense envy.
Gong Tianzun frowned, feeling that Langxuan's situation was somewhat inappropriate.
Are the things of prehistoric enlightened beings really that useful?
The hidden dangers involved must be enormous!
"Moreover, does Cao Tianzun really have no other means to restrain Langxuan?" Gong Tianzun muttered to himself, still deeply worried.
Cao Ya suppressed his anger at the intrusion of the Taiji Ancient God, which prevented him from achieving his goal of killing Qiang Tianfei. He regained his composure, his mind as still as a deep well, and no techniques such as divine illusions could work on him.
The imagery of "a smile while picking a flower" permeated the air, suppressing Consort Qiang and Heavenly Venerable Gong, preventing them from using their divine sense techniques.
Faced with the great outburst of the Divine Emperor Langxuan, whose Dao Fruit boosted his power to an alarming degree, he was far beyond the reach of ordinary Heavenly Venerables.
Even Haotianzun and Xiaotianzun, based on our original understanding, were at most at this level.
Cao Ya wasn't worried. He swayed slightly, and immediately a three-headed, six-armed Dharma form appeared, all of which formed sword incantation seals. There were the "Grass Character Sword Incantation," the "Seven Swords of Heaven Interception" including "The Dao Extinguishes and the Dao is Born," "The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe," and "Slaying the Dao to Reveal Me," as well as other sword techniques. In an instant, he used them all, illuminating the universe!
"Sizzle!!!"
Cao Ya made his move, and thick sword light, strand after strand, sliced through the laws of the universe. Even Xuan Du, which had existed for billions of years, trembled incessantly, as if it were about to shatter.
If it weren't for the resolute will of Heaven, the forty-nine Heavenly Paths, out of fear and instinct for survival, might have excluded Cao Ya.
Those sword lights were too unique. Even though some of them were dispersed to deal with the Taiji Ancient God, the remaining ones were powerful enough and extremely mysterious. Like a butcher dissecting an ox, they separated the Primordial Dao and directly cut off some Primordial Divine Powers intertwined with Dao Fruits and Dharma Rhymes, shattering all obstacles and pointing directly at Langxuan Divine Emperor!
And that Dao Fruit inside the Heavenly Court!
As if sensing a threat, the Dao Fruit trembled violently, and Emperor Langxuan roared in fury: "Don't even think about destroying my Dao Fruit!"
Immediately, the combat power of the Divine Emperor Langxuan increased, and his Primordial Divine Power was fierce. In a short while, he unleashed twenty-eight more great divine powers. Under the influence of the Dao Fruit, he barely managed to block Cao Ya's sword energy. However, the Divine Emperor Langxuan himself coughed up blood, and his body was pierced by the sword intent, leaving countless cracks.
Even his Heavenly Court was almost destroyed by the Kunpeng phantom.
“Buzz…” The Dao Fruit swayed, and the Laws entwined, finally stabilizing the Heavenly Palace and preventing it from collapsing.
"Indeed, it is my precious treasure." Immediately, Emperor Langxuan beamed with joy, feeling that with the Dao Fruit in hand, there was no way he could lose.
Cao Ya shook his head inwardly. The dignified Heavenly Venerable, whose Dao Fruit was that of a prehistoric Daoist, had subtly influenced him, causing his personality to change drastically. He had also put the cart before the horse, disregarding his own life and valuing the safety of his Dao Fruit above all else.
Even if he survives this battle, it remains to be seen whether Langxuan Divine Emperor will still be himself in the future.
"These prehistoric enlightened beings have caused far-reaching harm, and the vast majority of them should be killed!" Cao Ya exclaimed, his voice filled with murderous intent.
He was a being from the Seventeenth Epoch, so naturally he considered things from the perspective of the Seventeenth Epoch. If a prehistoric enlightened being came, the lifespan of the Seventeenth Epoch would be greatly reduced. How could he accept such a situation?
We must do everything in our power to fight back!
However, none of these prehistoric masters were weak; they all attained the Dao, with the weakest reaching the thirty-sixth level of the Dao Realm. It could almost be said that they surpassed the Celestial Venerables of this era.
Even if their strength is diminished during the smuggling process, their essence remains unchanged; they are still formidable.
Only Taiyi can protect the ancestral temple, repair the World Tree, and suppress the stowaways.
Cao Ya's current strength, when placed among prehistoric Dao achievers, can be considered superior, but not top-tier.
It's not even at the level of invincibility!
"Fortunately, the Divine Emperor Langxuan only possesses a Dao Fruit," Cao Ya thought to himself, confident that he could handle the situation.
"Whoosh~~~"
The sword light swept across the sky, illuminating the heavens and earth, its power shaking the entire Xuandu.
Another illusory image of Kunpeng charged in. Even though the Divine Emperor Langxuan had obtained the Dao Fruit and possessed twenty-eight great supernatural powers of the Primordial Dao, he could only barely resist and had no hope of breaking through the sword energy, which then reached Cao Ya's side.
If it really comes down to that, and it comes down to a contest of physical strength, Cao Ya is not afraid.
Besides the Divine Emperor Langxuan, Consort Qiangtian also unleashed all her power and did everything in her power to fight against Cao Ya.
The two divine blades were incredibly sharp, and Cao Ya's Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art was about to become uncontrollable.
This secret technique is indeed unparalleled, but Cao Ya of [Perfect World] has not yet cultivated it to its peak.
Therefore, the cultivation that Cao Ya gained in "The Legend of the Shepherd God" was not top-notch.
If it weren't for the blood sacrifice of the two divine blades, which failed and didn't reach the level of the world's number one killing treasure, the six small black holes activated by Cao Ya might have already been pierced.
Now, having barely managed to entangle him, Cao Ya used the essence of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist" to increase its power.
Meanwhile, the "Smile Through a Flower" technique suppressed Consort Qiang's consciousness. Her divine power from the Heavenly Palace was surrounded by a dazzling celestial river, sealed by complex arrays, and swept by the Five Elements Immortal Light. The Heavenly Palace was teetering on the verge of collapse, and the palace seemed about to crumble.
Although the golden Buddha light was gone, the Heavenly Dao still added some of its power, allowing Cao Ya to imprison Qiang Tianfei, steadily and step by step eroding and dismantling her Heavenly Court before finally killing her.
Qiang Tianfei was well aware of her dire situation and tried her best to fight back, but things continued to deteriorate step by step.
"If my essence weren't confined to the ultimate void, I would never have lost to Cao Ya, even in a one-on-one fight!" Qiang Tianfei said indignantly.
The Supreme Emperor was very powerful. He was the overlord of the ancient era, which lasted for billions of years. He reached the thirty-ninth level of the Dao Realm. His achievements were extremely profound. His Dao of Divine Sense stood at the pinnacle, surpassing all existence!
However, although she was a wisp of the Tai Emperor's soul that was cast into the mortal realm and reincarnated, she was ultimately not the Tai Emperor and did not possess such combat power. When she faced Cao Ya, she was far inferior.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"
At the same time, deathly energy surged, sweeping across tens of millions of miles of land and ending everything.
The death of heaven and earth is a genuine five-star high-class property.
Gong Tianzun and Lady Yuanmu were extremely wary of each other.
"Buzzing..."
Gong Tianzun brandished her dragon spear, piercing the deathly aura. The great dragon leaped out, shaking its head and wagging its tail, dispelling much of the deathly intent and allowing peace to reign within a million miles of her.
However, suddenly, a vast expanse of death energy surged in again, making the Heavenly Venerable Gong's expression extremely grim.
These deathly intents can end the Great Dao. Not to mention the Heavenly Venerable Gong who has not yet attained the Dao, even a true Daoist would be wary and unwilling to provoke them.
"Waaaaah!!"
Fortunately, a loud horn sounded from within her Heavenly Court, causing her blood to boil and all her awe to dissipate. The Heavenly Venerable Gong roared fiercely and fearlessly, breaking through the deathly intent of heaven and earth, and flew out, his spear pointing directly at Cao Ya's true form.
"As expected of the master of war." Lady Yuanmu secretly praised. The horn of the Heavenly Venerable Gong echoed in all directions, and her combat power also increased.
"Sizzle!!"
The Heavenly Court of Guixu rotates, like an unfathomable abyss capable of swallowing all things.
The unique law of returning to nothingness and the deathly intent of heaven and earth canceled each other out, resulting in a stalemate for a time.
Like Gong Tianzun, Madam Yuanmu tried to break free from the encirclement of death energy, but neither succeeded. They were trapped within it, protecting a million-mile area, but compared to the death energy that covered tens of millions of miles, it was truly insignificant.
If this battle continues, it is very likely that the two female celestial beings will be the first to give in, be defeated, be overwhelmed by death, and be completely annihilated.
"This is bad! This is very bad!"
