"Please grant me the sacred object!"
"Mahayana Bottle!"
!
The long roar of Maha Heaven echoed throughout the Maha Continent.
The sound resounded throughout the world!
The surrounding seas and the dozens of continents of varying sizes all heard this.
Hundreds of millions of living beings looked up at the outside world, their faces filled with horror.
Those who live here certainly understand what the word "Maha" truly represents.
Among them, the supreme-level experts possessed formidable spiritual power and had even witnessed the divine battle millions of miles away!
"The patriarch of the Maha Ancient Clan, the Holy-Rank Heavenly Supreme—Maha Tian!"
"And... the newly emerging Saint-grade item—Cao Ya!"
"Cao Ya actually managed to defeat Maha Tian, forcing him to use his clan's sacred artifact?!"
...
Countless people were shocked.
This scene truly horrified them, leaving them feeling utterly incredulous.
After all, the prestige of Maha Heaven has long since covered at least a hundred continents centered on Maha Continent!
Of course, on second thought, they felt it was acceptable.
The Futu Ancient Clan has already lost and is helpless against Cao Ya. If the Maha Ancient Clan loses as well, they will simply follow in the footsteps of the Futu Ancient Clan.
Although the current situation of the Maha tribe is slightly better than that of the Futu tribe.
But no one would believe that the Mahagu tribe could really be so far ahead of the Futu tribe!
The five ancient clans were originally roughly equal in strength.
"Cao Ya, no matter how strong you are, I am not weak either!"
"You're dreaming if you think you can defeat me so easily!"
Maha Tian roared, a ruthless glint flashing across his face. He changed the hand seals again, and spiritual energy surged forth, connecting with an item in the Maha Continent.
[Battle Through the Heavens] Cao Ya waits quietly.
He wasn't worried.
His experiences with the Ancient Buddha Clan have made him realize that no one except those at the late stage of the Saint Rank can defeat him!
Maha Tian is very strong, but he has not yet reached the late stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme; he is still in the middle stage.
He was quite curious to see what kind of abilities the treasure of the Maha clan possessed.
Each of the five ancient clans has its own clan-protecting treasure.
It is a top-tier sacred artifact, ranking among the top ten in the entire world!
The ancestral pagoda of the Futu ancient tribe, the Maha Yin-Yang bottle of the Maha ancient tribe, and the Tailing ancient map of the Tailing ancient tribe, etc.
Above the continent of Maha, Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] lowered his head.
The earth trembled, and deep within the continent, in the ancestral land of the Maha Ancient Clan, a black and white pillar of light shot into the sky!
The pillar of light connected heaven and earth, stretching for nearly a million miles.
Not to mention the Maha Continent, it can also be seen on many surrounding continents.
Countless people stared wide-eyed, scrutinizing the scene with curiosity.
That is the first sacred object of the Maha Ancient Clan?!
All the supreme masters from all directions were eager to explore.
Even among the members of the Maha Ancient Clan, only a very small number have actually seen the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle.
Most of the clan members may never have the chance to see the clan's treasure before they die!
boom!
The crimson runes that Maha Tian had unleashed disappeared, the continent trembled slightly, and in their place, a black and white beam of light pierced through the sky.
Within that black and white pillar of light, everyone saw a jade bottle, displaying both black and white colors, slowly appearing.
"Bring the bottle!"
Maha Tian roared to the sky and raised his hand to strike.
"Whoosh~~"
The black and white jade bottle pierced through the air, traversing millions of miles, and landed directly on the head of Maha Tian.
When the black and white jade bottle was fully revealed, the entire world seemed to begin to take on black and white colors, as if yin and yang were converging and being completely rendered.
An indescribable aura emanated from the black and white jade bottle.
Throughout the world, powerful figures from all sides watched this scene with horrified expressions, their gazes towards Maha Tian and the jade bottle filled with awe.
They suddenly realized that at this moment, even if the Green-Robed Sword Saint of the Sword Domain or Qin Tian, the Demon-Slaying King of the Great Thousand Palace, appeared, they could still fight against Maha Heaven.
The members of the Mahagu tribe held their heads high, extremely proud.
Cao Ya observed this and nodded secretly.
This Maha Yin-Yang Bottle is indeed excellent!
Compared to the ancestral pagoda of the ancient Futu tribe, it is not significantly weaker.
Furthermore, because Maha Tian's affinity is more compatible with the jade bottle and his strength is also greater, the black and white jade bottle in Maha Tian's hands can display a much stronger power than the ancient stone pagoda in the hands of Fu Tu Xuan or Qing Yan Jing!
No matter how powerful a weapon is, it ultimately depends on the skill of the user.
[Battle Through the Heavens] Cao Ya stood atop the heavens, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at the black and white jade bottle.
He immediately nodded.
"As expected of the treasure of the Maha Ancient Clan, it truly possesses extraordinary power," Cao Ya of [Battle Through the Heavens] praised.
Even he felt a sense of threat emanating from the jade bottle.
"My clan's most precious treasure has been renowned throughout the vast world for countless eons. Why do I need you to boast about it?" Maha Tian's eyes were as cold as ice.
He stared at Cao Ya from "Battle Through the Heavens," and a sudden urge to win ignited within him.
"With the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, I might just be able to... defeat Cao Ya!"
"At that time, my Maha Ancient Clan will be able to completely overwhelm the Futu Ancient Clan!"
"Of the five ancient clans, our clan should be the most respected!"
Maha Tian was excited, and his fighting spirit grew even stronger.
He roared and suddenly formed a hand seal, causing a surge of spiritual energy to spread.
Suddenly, the jade bottle above his head began to slowly tilt, and black and white light poured out from its mouth.
The black and white light flowed like endless waves, sweeping across the sky and the earth.
Hundreds of thousands of miles of empty space were covered.
That was extremely pure spiritual energy, one yin and one yang, one positive and one negative, both scorching and icy. The two intersected, giving rise to many profound mysteries, which were incredibly magical.
When it fell, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that it touched was assimilated into black and white.
This Maha Yin Yang Bottle is indeed incredibly powerful!
When Maha Tian wielded this item, his strength broke through the mid-stage Saint-grade limit and reached the late stage!
[Battle Through the Heavens] Cao Ya dared not be as negligent as before.
Clang!
[Battle Through the Heavens] Cao Ya made a sword incantation, and in an instant, sword energy burst forth, various laws intertwined, and sword lights of all colors danced, filling the sky.
Even more so, a colossal creature roared, scattering the black and white light streams and shaking the universe.
Countless people were astonished, saying that it looked like some kind of super mythical beast!
Even Maha Tian was taken aback.
He then let out a cold laugh.
"The terrifying aspect of our clan's treasure does not stop there."
With a flick of his finger, Maha Tian caused the jade bottle to tremble slightly, and then rings of black and white light emanated from it, creating a mysterious aura that seemed to assimilate even the sword light that filled the sky.
"Indeed, this is quite strange!" Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] raised an eyebrow, shifting his power. He no longer primarily used his own spiritual power, but instead relied on the divine power and magical power shared by others.
In any case, his spiritual power was only at the Heavenly Supreme level of the Spirit Rank, so he could not resist the assimilation power of the Saint Rank.
"Whoosh~~~"
Sword beams of light splashed out, ignoring the assimilation of the black and white jade bottle, piercing through the flowing light, and striking straight ahead.
"This... how is this possible?!" Maha Tian was greatly astonished, and even found it hard to believe his eyes.
Why is the invincible Maha Yin-Yang Bottle not working?
You should know that hundreds of years ago, after he lost to Emperor Yan, he had to bring out the clan's most treasured artifact to force Emperor Yan to retreat, thus avoiding the great crisis of his own death and the extinction of his clan.
Of course, Xiao Yan back then was not comparable to who he is now.
Over the course of several hundred years, Xiao Yan's cultivation level has improved considerably.
"Why can't the power of the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle work on you?" Maha Tian's eyes were bloodshot, filled with shock and fear.
If this method were to spread, their clan's most prized possession...
The more Maha Tian thought about it, the more terrified he felt!
"Guess." Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] smiled faintly, of course, with no intention of explaining.
He unleashed another move, "The Extinction of the Dao and the Creation of the Dao," as if standing at an infinite height. With a single sword strike, he annihilated all the black and white light, forcing Maha Tian to cough up blood continuously and fly back millions of miles, his face deathly pale.
There was a hint of fear in his child's eyes.
However, he was, after all, the head of a clan, and his mind was resolute enough.
"call!"
After taking a deep breath, I put an end to the thought that I shouldn't have had.
The main problem is that he has absolutely no way to deal with Cao Ya!
According to reports, both Cao Ya are equally powerful!
Two late-stage Saint-level Heavenly Sovereigns... if they join forces, they could truly wipe out our Maha Ancient Clan...
Maha Tian smiled bitterly and sighed:
"Cao Ya, just tell me what you need."
An uproar immediately erupted on the ground.
By uttering those words, Maha Tianna had undoubtedly bowed down to Cao Ya.
The Maha ancient tribe indeed followed in the footsteps of the Futu ancient tribe.
The powerful figures from all sides sighed in dismay and felt a tremor.
Cao Ya, who rose to prominence unexpectedly, was simply too strong. He swept aside two ancient clans in succession without encountering a worthy opponent!
These figures are practically on par with the Flame Emperor, the Martial Ancestor, the Green-Robed Sword Saint, the Demon-Slaying King Qin Tian, the Undying Lord, the True Dragon Emperor, the Kunpeng Ancestor, and the Heavenly Great Ape King.
Those figures are the ones who truly stand at the pinnacle of this vast world!
Compared to them, even the five ancient clans, such as Maha Tian, Futu Xuan, and Qingyan Jing, are all inferior.
Now, the number of the most powerful experts will increase by one... no, two!
Many people felt emotional, but quite a few were also delighted.
The great threat from the extraterrestrial evil race is like a time bomb, threatening all living beings in the vast world.
The more powerful your side is, the more confident you will be.
"Cultivation techniques and spiritual arts, supreme Dharma body." Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] spoke, stating his request.
With a whoosh, Maha Tian returned to the mainland, gesturing with his eyes.
Immediately, Maha You, the Supreme Being of Heaven, returned to his clan and collected numerous cultivation techniques and spiritual manuals, which he then handed over to Cao Ya.
This suggestion was something I had anticipated.
After all, news of the Futu Ancient Clan had already spread throughout the world.
As long as it doesn't involve the fundamental nature of the Maha Ancient Clan, such as divine arts and supernatural powers, Maha Tian and the others felt it was acceptable.
As for the Maha Immeasurable Body...
Like Fu Tu Xuan and Qing Yan Jing, they didn't believe that Cao Ya would cultivate such a Dharma body.
With such combat power, Cao Ya's Dharma body must also be extremely powerful!
They speculated that Cao Ya was collecting various cultivation techniques and spiritual manuals, as well as supreme avatars, in order to break through to the Saint rank and pave the way for a path beyond the Saint rank.
Honestly, Maha Tian also hopes that Cao Ya can truly pave a clear path forward.
To guide all the supreme beings of the heavens!
Even if they wanted to emulate the Immortal Emperor, manipulate the Heavenly Ranking, and imprint their true names, they didn't know how to summon it or how to take that half-step.
Even a late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme cannot sense the Heavenly Ranking.
We must take at least half a step!
But how do you take that first step?
Having obtained what they desired, the two Cao Ya immediately left the Maha Continent.
Maha Tian watched Cao Ya depart, then let out a soft sigh.
"These guys from the lower planes are all freaks!" Maha Tian cursed under his breath.
The powerful figures from all sides looked at each other, filled with emotion.
"This Cao Ya is really... really amazing!"
"Would his next move be to target the other three ancient clans?"
The group whispered among themselves, then suddenly looked at each other in bewilderment.
Judging from Cao Ya's actions, it's hard to say when he might approach the Tai Ling Ancient Clan, or the Desolate Ancient Clan or the Black Sky Ancient Clan.
"Go quickly! It would be best to get to the Tai Ling Continent and the Desolate Ancient Continent as soon as possible!"
The people of the Mahagu tribe secretly hoped for this.
The five ancient clans are bound together by the principle of shared prosperity and shared ruin.
It makes no sense that they lost face with the Futu Ancient Clan while the Tailing Ancient Clan, the Huanggu Clan, and the Heitian Ancient Clan were unscathed.
******
******
After leaving the Maha Continent, the two Cao Ya first found a place to go into seclusion and cultivate, digesting the gains from this trip.
He felt that he had gained a clearer understanding of the Heavenly Supreme's cultivation.
It is even closer to being a celestial grade.
The path to sainthood has been almost fully understood.
After they emerged from seclusion, they once again sought out the Tai Ling Continent.
Unlike the Floating Pagoda Continent and the Maha Continent, the Tai Ling Continent is extremely inclusive, and all races can settle down and make a living here.
After all, the Tai Ling Ancient Clan is the most inclusive of the five ancient clans.
They don't care about bloodline differences.
Even if one's bloodline is thin or nonexistent, as long as one possesses outstanding talent and meets the required standards of character, one can still become a saintess of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan.
Throughout its history, there have been many such saintly women, who were exceptionally talented and highly regarded by their people, but were not of their own clan.
stop!
When Cao Ya arrived on the Tai Ling Continent, all forces were alarmed, and many experts above the Supreme level flew out to watch them warily.
There was a hint of fear, and also a touch of strangeness.
"Ahem, you all step back."
Suddenly, a soft cough came from deep within the mainland.
A figure appeared in the sky, accompanied by extremely profound spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Ancestor Tai Ming".
The four powerful figures clasped their hands in a gesture of great respect.
This person was none other than the Great Elder of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan—Ancestor Tai Ming!
The two Cao Ya looked closely.
As the light dissipated, the figure of an old man in white robes was revealed. The old man had a weathered face, and although his skin was as delicate as a baby's, his childlike eyes were filled with the ancient charm of a person who had experienced many changes in life. He was very wise and mysterious.
The old man had a kind smile on his face as he looked at the two Cao Yas.
"I am Tai Ming, and I greet Your Excellency Cao Ya." Tai Ming Ancestor cupped his hands in greeting.
"Grand Ancestor Tai Ming, I have long admired your name." The two Cao Ya also clasped their fists in greeting.
As far as they knew, the Old Ancestor Tai Ming was much more just and flexible in managing the Tai Ling Ancient Clan than Fu Tu Xuan Gong.
His prestige far surpassed that of Futu Xuan.
"I already know your purpose in coming here. These things are probably what you need." The Grand Ancestor Tai Ming smiled and pointed a finger, which was filled with flowing light and contained infinite knowledge, and delivered it to Cao Ya.
The two Cao Ya were stunned for a moment.
The powerful members of the Four Directions Tai Ling Ancient Clan were also taken aback.
What happened to the Grand Elder...?
"I have some guesses as to why you request cultivation techniques, spiritual manuals, and the Supreme Dharma Body. I only hope that you can truly succeed and pave a clear path forward, pointing us towards the direction above the Saint rank," said the Tai Ming Ancestor with a smile.
"Huh?" The two Cao Yas were a little confused.
What does that mean?
I don't understand!
The two quickly realized the deeper meaning behind the words of the Grand Ancestor Tai Ming.
They were immediately embarrassed.
It was obvious that the Grand Ancestor Tai Ming had misunderstood.
Their goal is not to create a realm beyond the Saintly grade, but merely to guide themselves on the path to the Immortal and Saintly grades.
Furthermore, above the Saint-grade, there are only the Half-Step Ruler and the Great Ruler realms.
"Thank you for your kind words, Elder." Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] remained expressionless, cupped his hands in greeting, and then left.
In "Battle Through the Heavens," Cao Ya clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and left the Tai Ling Continent.
Tai Ming Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn it, two late-stage Saint-level Heavenly Sovereigns have descended. If we're not careful, we risk death and the extermination of our clan.
It's like walking a tightrope!
"Elder, why..."
Many experts were puzzled, and there was also a hint of underlying dissatisfaction.
This action by the Tai Ming Ancestor undoubtedly greatly damaged the reputation of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan.
The ancient tribes of Renfu and Maha only admitted defeat because they were no match for them.
As for their Tai Ling Ancient Clan, they don't even dare to fight. What kind of talk is that if it gets out?
Wouldn't people criticize us, saying that the people of the Tailing Ancient Clan are all cowards?!
"Are we stronger than the Ancient Buddha Clan and the Ancient Maha Clan?! If they can't beat us, of course we can't either. Rather than be humiliated, we might as well offer up our cultivation techniques and spiritual manuals directly, and at least gain their favor." Ancestor Taiming said irritably.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"As expected of the Grand Elder, he's truly amazing! A favor from a late-stage Saint-rank expert is something you can only dream of getting on a normal day!"
Everyone praised him and gave him a thumbs up.
Tai Ming Ancestor blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
He simply couldn't beat Cao Ya.
Suddenly, the Old Ancestor Tai Ming's eyes flickered as he looked towards the horizon with some curiosity.
"That person, what's he doing here?!"
