Cao Ya was ruthless, and he was killing Huo Tianzun piece by piece, making him pay for his blood debt of hundreds of thousands of years!
Because of its extremely vicious methods, the soul of the Fire Celestial could not withstand it at all, and he screamed loudly and begged for mercy.
Cao Ya ignored him and remained silent, calmly wielding the divine blade, its murderous aura intense, aimed at suppressing and killing the soul.

Even the hateful Moon Goddess, watching from the sidelines, found this scene somewhat unbearable to witness.
She has always had a soft and kind heart.
In the end, Cao Ya delivered another fatal blow, finally finishing off Huo Tianzun.
"Finally... it's over." Moon Celestial Venerable murmured, still feeling a sense of déjà vu.
The mighty Heavenly Court, which held sway over all realms, collapsed so easily?!
The Divine Emperor Langxuan, the Heavenly Venerable of the Palace, Lady Yuanmu, Consort Qiang, and the Heavenly Venerable of Fire all perished.
The two Taiji Ancient Gods and the Lingyu Venerable haven't even been counted yet.
The remaining Hongtianzun, Zushenwang, Haotianzun, Empress, and Xutianzun were also doomed.
"Cao Tianzun's strength... is abnormally high!"
The Moon God looked at Cao Ya and sighed with emotion.
Who would have thought that one of Mu Tianzun's elders would become the strongest person in history?!
Even the Supreme Emperor and the Ancient God Emperor are no match for the current Heavenly Venerable Cao.
Because Huo Tianzun was a traitor to the human race, Cao Ya personally took action and executed him using cruel methods—mainly because Yue Tianzun was fighting Huo Tianzun alone and was at a disadvantage, needing his help.
As for the other two battlefields, our side has the advantage, so there's no need to take action; we can simply observe and prevent Haotianzun and his group from escaping.
Moreover, with two opposing Celestial Venerables watching the battle, the Empress, the Void Celestial Venerable, and the Hao Celestial Venerable felt immense pressure, making them hesitant and reluctant to go all out.
For this reason, Kaihuang swung his sword and firmly suppressed Haotianzun. The sword light pierced through the air, causing Guixu Heavenly Court and Taichu Heavenly Court to shake violently and almost fall.
Meanwhile, the strongest primordial spirit of the Netherworld Venerable clashed head-on with the Empress's Guixu Heavenly Court. The Great Dao of the Netherworld roared, resisting the laws of Guixu, causing the heavens and earth to shake.
The divine sense of the Langwan God King fluctuated, and he visualized layer upon layer of worlds, binding the Void Heavenly Venerable. No matter how the Void Heavenly Venerable charged, he could not escape.
"The overall situation is settled." Yue Tianzun smiled slightly, completely relaxed, and looked at Xuandu again.
The Heavenly Army surrendered, and all the gods and demons dropped their weapons and ceased their attacks.
Only Hong Tianzun and Zu Shenwang remained, fighting against Tian Gong and Qin Mu.
Before Cao Ya left Xuandu, he struck out with a sword, severely injuring the Ancestral God King, making the already precarious situation of the Heavenly Court even more dangerous.
"Eh, Mu Tianzun..." Suddenly, Yue Tianzun exclaimed in surprise, her eyes sparkling with a strange light, her beautiful gaze lingering.
Cao Ya smiled and said, "Mu'er has a very good understanding. He will naturally improve in this kind of great battle."
Moon Celestial Venerable smiled and said, "You should have broken through and can now be considered a genuine Celestial Venerable."
"His title of 'Shepherd of the Heavens' will become even more renowned."
Moon Celestial Venerable beamed with joy, seemingly even happier than by his own promotion.
Cao Ya glanced at him, and Yue Tianzun blushed, quickly composed himself, and appeared very dignified.
In front of Mu Tianzun's elders, Yue Tianzun felt a little restrained.
Most importantly, deep down, Yue Tianzun has always harbored feelings of love for Qin Mu.
Due to Ling Tianzun's extraordinary supernatural powers, Qin Mu traveled back in time multiple times and had many interactions with Yue Tianzun.
However, Qin Mu has too many female confidantes. Putting aside other matters, besides Yue Tianzun, there is also Langwan God King present.
Moreover, Cao Ya's power exerts immense pressure on others, even those on the same side.
Cao Ya didn't seem to care much.
This is a matter that the person involved must decide for themselves; even though he is Qin Mu's elder, he will not interfere.
Qin Mu should be able to sort all of this out.
Cao Ya's idea was to end the war, eliminate the hidden dangers of the Seventeenth Century, and ideally, turn around and kill the prehistoric enlightened beings.
Of course, he also knew that without six-star power, this was just wishful thinking.
"It's almost over. Haotianzun and the others can't hold on any longer." Cao Ya whispered, flicking his finger lightly with the divine blade. With a clang, the blade flashed, streaking across the sky and annihilating Haotianzun and the Empress's backup plans. The Guixu Heavenly Court, the Taichu Heavenly Court, and the like were all shattered.
Kaihuang and Youtianzun seized the opportunity, either drawing their swords or throwing punches, and beat the two celestial beings on the spot, leaving them covered in dust, bleeding profusely, and in a sorry state.
"puff!"
The last faint glint of light from the blade further shattered the Void Celestial Venerable's body, leaving only his divine soul lingering between heaven and earth, his expression one of terror.
"Ah!!" Haotian Zun roared. After being wounded by Cao Ya, he was cleaved in two by Kaihuang's sword. Blood gushed out, spreading for millions of miles, staining the entire Milky Way red. It looked terrifying.
The Empress groaned in pain. Cao Ya's swordsmanship was already unparalleled, surpassing even the Heavenly Venerable. With the blessing of the divine sword, it was incomparably sharp. Even an enlightened being could be killed with a single strike, let alone someone like her who had not yet attained enlightenment.
Moreover, the strongest primordial spirit of the Netherworld Venerable is vast and powerful, and even with the strength of the Heavenly Court of Returning to the Void, it would be extremely difficult for him to fight against it.
"Buzz..."
The divine sense of the Langwan God King fluctuated, and he launched a powerful attack on the Void Heavenly Venerable, making his face look ugly and his soul light flicker erratically.
The tragic state of the three Celestial Venerables was noticed by the Tai Su Goddess, who was engaged in fierce combat in the distance. She was shocked and sensed something was wrong.
"Trying to run? Heh, Tai Su, do you think I don't exist?" Tai Shi chuckled, unleashing his Great Dao, tearing through millennia, and striking Tai Su, the goddess.
"Tai Shi, do you really want to exterminate us all? The Taiji Ancient God has already fallen, and Tai Chu has also run into trouble. Do you, the Five Ancient Gods, want us to perish one by one?" Tai Su Goddess shouted angrily.
Tai Shi pursed his lips, too lazy to answer.
When you were being ruthless, did you ever think that we were both ancient gods born from one of the Five Great Daos?
Upon seeing this, the Goddess Taisu's expression turned ashen.
Tai Shi persisted in pursuing her relentlessly, and she truly had no way to escape.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the Great Dao of Primordial Beginning was severed. The goddess's face froze, and then with a crash, her body shattered, and her soul was also scattered into dust by the Great Dao of Primordial Beginning.
The dignified Goddess Tai Su followed in the footsteps of the ancient god Taiji and also died.
"Kill!" At the same time, Kaihuang shouted, holding the Worry-Free Sword, its light shining for billions of feet, covering the sky and the earth. His figure was like a ray of sword light, fiercely continuing to charge forward, determined to kill Haotianzun!
At this moment, Haotian Zun, who once stood high above, overlooking all the heavens and myriad realms, wantonly ravaging the Yuan Realm, and causing numerous great disasters that led to the extinction of multiple eras, was disheveled and covered in blood.
Haotian was furious. Since overthrowing the Ancient God Emperor, he had usurped power and was a first-rate existence among the Ten Heavenly Venerables. He had never suffered such a great loss before.
Even his body was pierced, blood spreading everywhere, a truly gruesome sight.
He burned his divine soul and essence, and even the two Heavenly Courts spontaneously combusted, unleashing even stronger magical power, condensing the great divine power of innate Qi, and sublimating it to the extreme, in order to fight Kaihuang to the death.
"when!"
With another whistling sound, Cao Ya casually swung his divine blade, and a flash of light swept over, instantly shattering his divine power and causing his physical body to explode!
"That's about enough. It's time to end this war. If we drag it out any longer, it will be difficult to make any difference." Cao Ya muttered to himself, and then swung his divine blade twice more, killing the Empress and the Void Celestial Venerable.
Its unparalleled destructive power terrified Kaihuang, Youtianzun, and Langwan Shenwang.
They figured that if they faced the blade head-on, they would find it difficult to withstand.
This is simply the most powerful killing technique in history!
"Why would someone like you exist?" Haotianzun was filled with resentment. In the end, he was reduced to ashes, his limbs were shattered, and his soul collapsed. Not a single fragment remained, and there was no hope of starting over.
"Boom..." The Empress Dowager, with a dignified expression, sat solemnly within the collapsing Heavenly Court of Guixu, disappearing along with the shattered Heavenly Palace, preserving her last vestige of dignity.
As for the Void Celestial Venerable, after her physical body was gone, her soul was also severely injured, and her Heavenly Court was incomplete and teetering on the verge of collapse, but it did not truly collapse. Many traces appeared, imprisoning her.
"For Tu Bo's sake, Venerable You, this Venerable Xu is now in your hands." Cao Ya said, flicking his finger and effortlessly sealing the remnant soul of Venerable Xu, which then fell into Venerable You's hands.
Tu Bo is an ally of Yan Kang. Although the Heavenly Court has been overthrown, they are still allies and their relationship is not bad. Xu Tianzun is just Tu Bo's daughter. In the end, how to deal with her is up to Tu Bo himself.
Moreover, Tu Bo was born in accordance with the Great Dao of Youdu, and was fair and selfless, and did not fall into depravity.
He also does not abuse his power or bend the law for personal gain.
You Tianzun withdrew his supernatural powers, his strongest primordial spirit disappeared, and his youthful appearance vanished, reverting to the appearance of an old underworld official.
He looked down at the small ball of light in his palm. Inside, there seemed to be a world that bound the remnant soul of the Void Celestial Venerable, rendering him unable to move. Only his angry expression and his motionless lips seemed to be cursing.
You Tianzun thought for a moment, then ignored him and instead slashed with his other hand. The Youdu Avenue roared and connected with Youdu on the Milky Way.
"Buzz..." Suddenly, dark light shone brightly, and various magma rivers steamed up. The majestic Tu Bo revealed a head, its sharp horn piercing into the outer realm, larger than an entire domain.
As ancient gods born of the Dao, the Earth God and the Heavenly Duke, born of the Heavenly Dao, are one high and one low, presiding over the operation of the universe's rules and organizing the order of heaven and earth. The vast territory in between is the myriad worlds!
"Cao Tianzun, Kaihuang, Langwan Divine King," Tu Bo greeted.
The group returned the greeting.
“Tu Bo, your daughter.” You Tianzun handed the ball of light to Tu Bo.
Inside the sphere of light, the Void Celestial Venerable's expression froze, then he glared angrily at Tu Bo.
Tu Bo's face was somewhat gloomy.
“I am Tu Bo, and I shall be impartial and selfless. Venerable Xu Tian, all your sins are recorded in the Book of Life and Death of the Great Dao of Youdu.”
"You are not qualified to reincarnate until the fire of sin is extinguished."
Even his own daughter was subject to judgment by the most impartial and just ruler.
The fire of sin burns the body and soul, causing unbearable pain that even gods and demons find difficult to endure. One must wait for the sins to be eradicated before one can be reincarnated.
If one cannot endure it halfway, one's soul will be scattered, and there will be no chance to start over.
Not to mention the Void Celestial Venerable, he is a reincarnation of Tu Bo himself—A Chou. Due to the schemes of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor, he committed a massacre to save his relatives, and he is still suffering from the karmic fire to repay his sins.
Even the Void Celestial Venerable is no exception.
“We still believe in Tu Bo’s punishment,” Cao Ya said with a smile.
Compared to the Heavenly Emperor, who stands in Xuandu and overlooks all realms, Tu Bo, in Youdu, looks up at the heavens with envy in his eyes.
The different perspectives led to differences in the mindset of the two ancient gods.
Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor had fallen into depravity, requiring Qin Mu to intervene. With the power of the Nine Prisons Platform of the Ancestral Court, he imprisoned the Heavenly Emperor, interrogated his mind, and through a series of actions, helped him return to his true self and rediscover his original nature.
However, this situation will not occur with Tu Bo.
The posture of looking up, though possessing supreme divine power, is still something that any free creature would envy.
"Tu Bo, you shouldn't need to reincarnate anymore," Kaihuang said with a smile, putting away the Worry-Free Sword.
Beside the God King Langwan, the illusory world conjured by various divine perceptions vanished, revealing the figure of this extremely beautiful woman, whose beauty was unparalleled.
With a whoosh, an eggshell appeared, containing Tai Shi, which was jumping incessantly, horrified by Cao Tianzun's martial prowess.
“Child…” Tu Bo used a wisp of magic power to drag the ball of light and looked at Xu Tianzun with loving eyes.
Even though he fairly judged the Venerable Xu and imposed the punishment he deserved.
But Tu Bo always possessed that fatherly kindness and gentleness, which never diminished and only grew stronger with the passage of time.
“With Ah Chou here, there’s no need for reincarnation. As long as all sins are gone…” You Tianzun said softly.
He and Tu Bo had been together for millions of years. They were both Heavenly Venerables of Youdu, and he was both a teacher and a friend. He understood Tu Bo's temperament and all his schemes.
Once upon a time, Tu Bo, wanting to reunite with his daughter, planned to end his own life after all the wars were over, and go to see his daughter as A Chou.
However, there are exceptions. Cao Tianzun's sudden rise to power and subsequent pacification of the situation was something no one had anticipated.
Tu Bo has ample time to slowly spend with his daughter, hoping to awaken the familial affection within her.
Fortunately, the place where Ah Chou was punished had plenty of empty space, enough to accommodate a Void Celestial Venerable to receive the scorching flames of karma.
“You don’t need to rush off.” Cao Yadan suddenly smiled and said, “The Heavenly Emperor orchestrated the Xuandu War, although he was restored halfway through thanks to Mu’er’s supernatural interrogation.”
"The sins that can be committed..."
Uncle Tu nodded.
“The merits and sins of all living beings are recorded in the Book of Life and Death,” Tu Bo said. “My old friend will come looking for me.”
As he spoke, Tu Bo's expression also showed amazement.
"Cao Tianzun, your achievements are unprecedented. Throughout history, spanning billions of years, you are undoubtedly the strongest!"
"Yes, or perhaps it is mentioned alongside Taiyi."
Finally, Tu Bo added.
In his view, Taiyi and Cao Tianzun were of the same level, both standing at the pinnacle of the universe, and among those who had attained enlightenment, they were both at the very top!
Emperor Kaihuang, You Tianzun, and Langwan God King were all full of praise.
The shortest period of their cultivation, the Kaihuang era, was tens of thousands of years, hundreds of times longer than Cao Ya's!
But in the final competition, no one could rival Cao Yatianzun!
Such talent is unparalleled throughout history, and in their eyes, it is even more terrifying than Taiyi.
After all, Cao Tianzun was a human, with no great ancestors and very ordinary origins, while Taiyi was the first ancient god, a primordial deity.
Cao Ya smiled; only he knew his own situation.
"Well, I did rely on myself, so there's no problem with that," Cao Ya thought to himself.
At that very moment, within Xuandu, the great battle between the Heavenly Venerables also came to an end.
Hong Tianzun was killed by the Heavenly Emperor, and the Ancestral God King was killed by Qin Mu and his group of five. They arrived with burning fighting spirit and victory in their grasp, but ultimately perished in Xuandu.
The divine artifacts, the Heavenly Venerable, crumbled and collapsed beneath the sky.
With this, all battles came to an end, and the Yankang camp emerged victorious!
