In an instant, a series of gasps seemed to rise from beneath the ancient divine nest.
Shi Hao was also stunned. A wandering cultivator had become a god?
Becoming a god? Ha, that's a long way off… It's just that my power, which doesn't belong to the system of the [Perfect World] universe, is somewhat special in this realm, and the suppression from the Kunpeng Divine Nest… isn't very noticeable…
Cao Ya did not return to the ghost ship, because the suppression disappeared at that moment.
Many powerful figures who had fled far away have returned and are venting their anger.
"Awooo~~~"
In the distance, a nine-headed lion roared, its blood-red maw wide open, all nine heads raised, its body radiating golden light. With a single breath, the sea demons flying everywhere fell into its mouth.
This imposing presence sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"This...that can't be the Nine Spirit King, can it?" Shi Hao stood on the ghost ship, watching the battle from a distance, quite surprised. He had a sworn brother, the Nine-Headed Lion, whose grandfather was known as the Nine Spirit King.
The Nine Spirit King is not weak, but he cannot be considered very strong.
Beside them, a giant fish leaped out of the sea, radiating a purple glow, like a purple divine mountain, and swallowed many living beings in one gulp.
This was a counterattack from a powerful being who had surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm. To be killed by a being of a lower realm was truly a disgrace.
However, this place is very special. It changes in various ways with the fluctuations of the divine power of the Kunpeng Nest, and suppresses cultivation from time to time.
Cao Ya, however, believed that since the visitor knew about the special nature of the Kunpeng Nest and still chose to come here, it proved that the visitor was mentally prepared. Now, venting his anger was a sign of incompetence.
There were even more corpses at sea, and the sea was stained red with blood.
Finally, the nine-headed lion roared and charged into the distance, leaving behind only a blinding golden light. It fled, fearing it would perish there.
In fact, some powerful beings from other races did the same, no longer daring to take risks. Some beings who had surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm retreated and then left the battlefield.
However, Cao Ya knew that this place was still a mixed bag, with powerful individuals beyond the Spirit Transformation Realm appearing and disappearing in the sea. For the sake of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, risking one's life was nothing.
Isn't that what Cao Ya is like? Indeed, he has the confidence, but which of the other powerful beings, backed by ancient sects or ancient divine mountains, lacks a solid foundation? They may not be able to compete in strength, but their magical artifacts are enough to suppress them.
He could sense that there were many Venerable Realm figures outside the Kunpeng Nest in this forbidden sea, who had also quietly sneaked in.
The cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm were filled with excitement, holding their breath and watching intently, none daring to make a move rashly. Everyone understood that this place was extremely dangerous, with many formidable figures lurking nearby.
Boom!!
The waves were terrifying, the sea split open, revealing a gray mountain range. It was so huge that it was almost frightening. Many creatures in the sea trembled and fled quickly.
Then, the part of the mountain range that emerged from the water grew larger and larger, almost like a continent, magnificent and boundless.
"My God! That's... an ancient dragon!"
"It is the Dragon Venerable!"
Many creatures cried out in alarm, and all races, whether of the sea or the land, trembled, for they knew who the newcomer was—a supreme being of their kind.
The Flood Dragon Venerable's fame resounds throughout this sea region. Like the Sea Demon Venerable, he rules over a region, and even the beings of the great sea religion, Sea God Island, must be somewhat wary of him.
Cao Ya, the Hermit of the Great Wilderness, and Jiao Venerable are the second Venerable Realm expert to appear.
Moreover, the sense of awe emanating from the Jiao Venerable seemed even stronger, because his body was enormous, like a mountain range. Even with his cultivation level suppressed, his physical body alone was enough to sweep through this place, making people feel suffocated.
Cao Ya, however, did not share this view.
Cao Ya's eyes flickered, but he still returned to the ghost ship.
These venerable ones, as it stands, are unlikely to attack each other yet, since they haven't obtained the goods.
"The Sky-Devouring Sparrow..." Shi Hao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening with hatred and anger.
According to Shi Hao, the destruction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was directly related to the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
If it weren't for the Devouring Sky Sparrow and the Qiongqi, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion's Divine Vine wouldn't have died in battle, and those sects wouldn't have dared to attack.
In conclusion, these are the main culprits behind the destruction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
Although he didn't stay in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion for very long, Shi Hao still quite agreed with it. It was just a pity that he had only just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and was facing an ancient alien species in the Venerable Realm. What could he do?
Cao Ya's expression shifted slightly. He looked up and heard a loud boom as the sky and earth exploded. Black mist billowed into the sky, and a huge demonic bird flew across the sky, covering the sea surface. It was about to swoop down towards the magnificent barren cliff.
Cao Ya almost burst out laughing immediately.
Daring to attack the Kunpeng's nest, they must be tired of living, right?
Kunpeng was one of the Ten Great Fiends of the Primordial Era. At its peak, it was equivalent to a Quasi-Immortal King. Ordinary True Immortals and Immortals were no match for Kunpeng. Even the so-called Supreme Beings at the peak of the Human Path could be killed with a wave of their hand.
The difference between the Venerable Realm and the Venerable Realm is like heaven and earth.
Even if Kunpeng has been dead for millions or even tens of millions of years, and its remaining power has weakened with the passage of time, it is still something that a Venerable Realm figure cannot ignore.
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow flapped its enormous wings, obscuring the sky, resembling a giant roc. As a bird, it was most eager for the precious techniques on the barren cliff.
The gray dragon appeared. In the sea, a huge dragon's body emerged, with endless waves and the sea boiling. The splashing water even shattered the clouds, demonstrating the power and terror of the dragon lord.
Many creatures were swept away by the waves and could not stand in this place. Only the barren cliff stood tall and unshakable, and the waves could not get close to it or drown it.
Compared to the two Venerable Ones who have appeared at this moment, the Sea Dragon Venerable and the Great Wilderness Devouring Sparrow, Cao Ya, this Great Wilderness Hermit, seems to have no prestige at all.
But he didn't care.
Like Cao Ya, the Jiao Venerable was observing from the sidelines. It was a good thing that the Devouring Sky Sparrow was the first to try, as it could pave the way for them.
As for the Devouring Sky Sparrow directly obtaining the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, the possibility is close to zero.
Furthermore, since they are located in the Forbidden Sea, if such a one-in-a-million situation were to occur, then they would launch an ambush.
They are all respected figures, so who is afraid of whom?
Sure enough, the ancient cliff glowed, as if it were sensing something, emitting gentle golden ripples that spread through the void.
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow cried out in alarm, its feathers flying everywhere and blood splattering. It leaped up at lightning speed, its whole body trembling violently, and rushed into the distance.
Cao Ya made a tentative move, and a bolt of lightning exploded, piercing through the void and striking the Sky-Devouring Sparrow.
Boom!!!
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow roared, its body swaying, splattering large amounts of blood. Cao Ya's sudden attack had severely injured it.
However, thanks to the incredible speed of birds, the Sky-Devouring Sparrow managed to escape the area in time.
"It's a pity we couldn't keep it." Shi Hao said with some regret.
Cao Ya smiled faintly:
"There will always be a chance. When the Kunpeng Treasure Technique is born, even if the Devouring Sparrow is injured, it will probably not be willing to leave."
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow dwells in the Cangmang Mountains and has launched several beast tides. Cao Ya has fought against it many times, but he has never gained the upper hand and the battles have ended in a draw.
Now, however, there is an opportunity to kill the Sky-Devouring Sparrow in the forbidden sea.
