In an instant, the fat Taoist priest was completely protected within.
"Wow!!"
Watching the portly Taoist priest Cao Yisheng perform acrobatic feats, layering thousands of precious weapons, secret artifacts, and array diagrams onto his body to protect himself,
After eating for a while, the little girl, her two slender little hands groping her round, full belly, and constantly hiccuping, said with stars in her eyes:
"Uncle Fatty is amazing!"
"I've already said it, I'm not fat, I'm strong."
Although, in Zhou Xuan's view, the objects that the fat Taoist had layered on his body were not nearly as tough as the fat Taoist's own body.
However, the fat Taoist priest, who had layered all sorts of secret artifacts on his body, finally breathed a sigh of relief and even had time to argue with the little girl.
“Young friend, you and your sister have been kind to me by providing a meal. I will not hide it from you, this place is extremely dangerous. If I did not have some skills, I would probably have already fallen into their trap.”
After persuading the little girl to change her mind, the fat Taoist, sensing the third killing array engraved within her flesh and blood and activating it on its own, finally turned to look at Zhou Xuan and said:
"We can't stay here any longer; we must leave as soon as possible."
Although Cao Yisheng, who is the reincarnation of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, has not yet advanced his cultivation to the point of touching the memories sealed by several lifetimes of reincarnation.
However, Cao Yisheng, who had climbed out of the tomb and obtained a number of cultivation techniques such as the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Technique, and also found the locations of many burial sites on the coffin board, as well as the record of the Third Killing Array within his own flesh and blood, clearly understood.
The third killing formation, inscribed within his own flesh and blood, possesses boundless power.
Since it emerged from its coffin, even when facing a quasi-emperor, the third killing array engraved within its own body has never been touched.
Therefore, in Cao Yisheng's mind, those who could trigger the third killing formation were all extremely vicious enemies whom he was currently powerless to deal with.
'That's really strange!'
As the saying goes, danger is opportunity. Cao Yisheng, who has been observing the winds and waters, tracing the source and digging graves to this day, sensed the danger at the same time...
He instinctively used the Feng Shui Source Technique to activate his Source Eye and observe the Feng Shui direction of this mountain range.
Looking at the unremarkable feng shui arrangement, Cao Yisheng thought to himself with a puzzled expression:
'This mountain range has an unremarkable terrain, and the surrounding dragon veins are thin and weak; it doesn't resemble a burial ground for those of the extreme Dao at all.'
'How could there be any danger that could trigger the third killing array within me?!'
'Could it be that this is an exceptional burial site, unrecorded in any feng shui manual, capable of even causing an invincible supreme emperor to be buried here?'
His primordial spirit was powerful; even without being actively activated, it could see through Cao Yisheng's eyes and perceive Zhou Xuan's thoughts.
Seeing that Cao Yisheng's thoughts were the same as those of the Immortal Seed of the Feathered Divine Dynasty of Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, who all believed that as long as one became a Great Emperor, one would be invincible in the world.
"Is the Emperor invincible?"
Reminded by Cao Yisheng, Zhou Xuan, who was preparing to teleport away with Xiao Nannan, frowned and looked at Cao Yisheng, saying:
"That doesn't make sense. Above the Great Emperor, aren't there Heavenly Emperors and Immortals?"
"The Heavenly Emperor? An immortal?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yisheng, who was observing the feng shui and terrain of the mountains, spoke without hesitation:
"Where in this world are there immortals?!"
"Even if one survives the ultimate tribulation of the emperor, merges with the heart of heaven, and leaps up to become an extreme emperor whose own great path surpasses all other paths."
"Without the elixir of immortality, one can only live for ten thousand years or so."
"Even if you find the elixir of immortality and live another life, you'll only live for another ten thousand years..."
Upon hearing Cao Yisheng's words, Zhou Xuan's mind stirred, and he immediately activated his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes.
Zhou Xuan, whose own combat strength was already three levels higher than Cao Yisheng's, and who could easily detect the movement of Cao Yisheng's thoughts,
After maintaining the power of the Yin-Yang Divine Eyes at an alternative Dao-attaining level of combat strength, and looking into Cao Yisheng's eyes,
Cao Yisheng, whose cultivation level was only at the peak of the Great Saint realm and who had not even achieved the Quasi-Emperor realm, still could not block Zhou Xuan's Yin-Yang Divine Eyes, even though he possessed an Emperor's Body.
He began to speak to Zhou Xuan in a torrent of words, like pouring out beans:
"Of course, there is a Heavenly Emperor, but even now, that Heavenly Emperor would only be at the Great Emperor level, far from reaching the level of an Immortal..."
Hearing the terrifying killing array inscribed within his body, which was essentially superior to the twelfth-level Great Emperor realm,
Cao Yisheng said that even though the secret realm of physical body was not fully activated, it still possessed a physical body comparable to that of a Great Emperor.
'Looking' at the various thoughts that were flying and leaping in Cao Yisheng's sea of consciousness, appearing and disappearing as they came.
Zhou Xuan realized that the fat Taoist priest named Cao Yisheng was not deceiving him.
They actually believed, just like the Immortal Seed of the Feathered Divine Dynasty of Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, that the combat power of the 12th-level Flawless Emperor was the strongest combat power in this world.
Even more remarkably, Cao Yisheng, who possessed an Emperor-level physical body and a terrifying killing array, had various thoughts surfacing in his sea of consciousness that suggested there was a high probability that no immortals existed in this world…
'However, the system clearly categorizes the combat strength of this world.'
'A flawless Emperor-level combat power only ranks twelfth among the twenty-four levels of combat power.'
Sensing the various thoughts within Cao Yisheng's sea of consciousness that were identical to his words, Zhou Xuan frowned slightly and thought to himself:
"Furthermore, among the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains I seized after annihilating two quasi-emperors and numerous powerful figures from a branch of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, there exists a Celestial Artifact-level Myriad Origin Cauldron whose power essence surpasses that of a Great Emperor."
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan gave Cao Yisheng a deep look:
'This world clearly has so many traces of immortals, so why is Cao Yisheng so certain of their existence...?'
'However, what if there are no immortals in this realm?'
'The main branch of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, capable of unleashing an unconventional Dao-attaining level of combat power.'
'With the help of the vast faith of the Feathered Divine Dynasty and various imperial formations, the Feathered Emperor's Son defeated the headless knight quasi-emperor who received imperial-level divine support.'
'But his choice to kneel on one knee and offer the method to connect with the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains becomes understandable!'
'If this world, filled with countless ancient stars and a vast expanse of starlight, truly has no immortals, and where even a mere 12th-level Great Emperor is sufficient to be invincible, then...'
'I only need to take one more step, reaching the thirteenth level of Heavenly Emperor combat power, then I can display flawless Great Emperor-level combat power. From then on, I can swagger around the city, invincible under heaven, and I won't eat beef anymore!'
……
……
Just as Zhou Xuan was interfering with Cao Yisheng with his Emperor-level divine sense and probing the fluctuations in his sea of consciousness with his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes.
A perpetual, chaotic mist hangs in the air.
The Supreme Ancient Emperor's array inscriptions were activated, unleashing terrifying Supreme Ancient Emperor power that rose and fell in waves.
It transformed into a life-or-death technique, bombarding the depths of the Undying Mountain where the headless knight quasi-emperor resided.
That ancient Xuanwu emperor, though extremely old in appearance, possessed remarkably active life force.
His eyes opened and closed, revealing intricate and profound patterns that seemed to encompass all the mysteries of the universe and all the innate Dao patterns within it.
Through the Immortal Source, it floated out, colliding with the overwhelming killing power of the Third Killing Array, shattering the array patterns, and merging with each other.
In an instant, the broken array patterns intertwined and transformed into a vast array.
However, unlike the ancient imperial array inscribed within the dark mountains of the Undying Mountain, this one is different.
Within this vast array, besides the supreme aura of the ancient emperors, there is even more supreme imperial law of the ancient desolate emperors.
"Fuxi developed the Eight Trigrams, and Yu the Great wrote the Luoshu."
Sensing the aura emanating from the great formation, the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, sealed within his Immortal Source, spoke with a sigh:
"Human beings are so full of geniuses!"
As the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor's sigh rang out, another ancient emperor also sighed:
"Fuxi and Yu the Great were both exceptionally talented and unparalleled in the world. Even I, the Emperor, would not wish to be their enemy..."
"Hmph, time is like a knife that cuts down even the most outstanding talents."
Before the second exclamation could even finish, the icy, bone-chilling voice of Stone Emperor, the lord of Undying Mountain, rang out coldly:
"Even if his talent was extraordinary, he is now nothing more than a skeleton in a tomb."
"Only by becoming an immortal can I achieve what I desire and what I seek!"
"Everyone, we attained enlightenment too late and never had the chance to see how the Emperor of the mythical era forged that immortal artifact, the Green Cauldron, without having attained immortality."
At this point, the Stone Emperor's icy, piercing voice continued:
"Today, the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, which nurtured the Emperor's Immortal Cauldron, has reappeared in the world."
"Whether it's the essence of the Immortal Pool within Dragon Head Peak, which can nurture immortal artifacts."
"It is still that same cauldron of immortality that can illuminate part of our path forward."
"Even if this path is blocked, we can still absorb the essence of the Immortal Pool, bathe in the essence of immortal artifacts, mend the cracks in the Immortal Platform, and continue our peak imperial destiny!"
"This concerns the path to immortality and lifespan!"
"I urge everyone to give it your all!"
"boom!!!"
The moment he finished speaking, the great array in front of the Stone Emperor, which evolved from boundless array patterns, was activated by the Stone Emperor and floated out towards the direction of the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor.
"I will certainly do my best."
The second and third waves of supreme divine thought resounded, followed by the second and third great formations, which also drifted towards the direction of the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor.
"The three formations are based on the flawless ultimate ancient emperor formation."
Sensing the three supreme beings of the forbidden zones, including the Stone Emperor, and the array diagram constructed using the method handed over by the Ascended Emperor's Son, supplemented by his own Emperor Array,
Originally intending to break through a corner of the Immortal Source and use his own imperial blood essence to activate the Supreme Ancient Emperor Array, forcibly connecting with the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, a glint of light appeared in his aged eyes:
"With this item, this battle is in the bag!"
"boom!!!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the innate Dao patterns engraved on the ancient imperial weapon, which was ninety percent similar to a tortoise shell, suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
The dazzling light soared into the sky, and in an instant, it formed a powerful and exquisitely crafted innate Dao diagram.
The moment the Primordial Dao Diagram appeared, the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, uttered a low shout:
"break!!"
