A few more days passed, and the Northern Zone's elite cultivators who had obtained entry slots all gathered.
Xin Yuanfeng and the others had solemn expressions, and their eyes were filled with despair. Their Big Brother had truly met with an accident.
He had not returned!
Rumble!
The Asura Ancient Land trembled, and spatial ripples spread out. Then, within the dilapidated ancient land, a radiance instantly bloomed and disappeared.
Everyone was shocked.
Supreme treasure!
Supreme fate treasures!
After such a long time, the fate treasures must have undergone a transformation.
Moreover, there might be more than just the five regions' fate treasures. The Asura Ancient Land might have given birth to lower-level fate treasures, or even Emperor-level fate treasures.
Cao Tianyi's eyes were burning with desire. If he obtained the fate treasures, even without the support of the position of human king, he could break through his cultivation bottleneck.
He had once touched the boundary of that mysterious realm.
Many years ago, he had obtained an incomplete scroll in the Desolate Ancient Zone. From it, he had learned that there was an even more mysterious and powerful realm above the Divine realm.
He had never seen or heard of that realm. Moreover, his cultivation had not reached the peak of the Divine realm. From the incomplete scroll, he had learned that if he possessed great fate, he would have the chance to reach the peak of the Divine realm, and perhaps reach that mysterious higher realm.
He wanted to reach that higher realm!
For that reason, he quietly left the Desolate Ancient Zone and returned to the Northern Zone. He started planning everything secretly.
He would lure the demon race into invading the human race of the Northern Zone. The human race of the Northern Zone would then face a great calamity and, when he stepped forth to rescue them, he would become the first human king of the Northern Zone.
Once he was a human king, supported by the human race's luck, he would strive to reach that mysterious higher realm!
The first part of his plan had gone smoothly. At that time, all of the Divine realm experts of the nine zones were exploring the Desolate Ancient Zone in hopes of finding a way forward for their cultivation.
He believed that with his Divine realm might, he could definitely rescue the human race from their calamity at the crucial moment.
He was considered a peerless genius among Divine realm cultivators, so he was definitely not weak.
For this plan, he had even secretly destroyed the great array connecting the zones, preventing human experts from the other zones from quickly reinforcing the Northern Zone.
In the end though, Qin Ying ruined his plan and took away the fate of the five regions. The Great Qin Emperor, who had unified the Southern Region, had forcefully taken away the fate of the Southern Region.
This caused his plan to fail!
Furthermore, the appearance of a demon race Divine realm elder ultimately led to a full-fledged war with the demon race!
"Qin Ying, you deserve to die!"
Cao Tianyi's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Xin Yuanfeng and the others with an extremely cold gaze.
Mo Hongliu was extremely excited. He did not care about the human king position as he could not ascend to the human king position. He was not a pure human.
Back then, for the sake of obtaining a supreme treasure and attaining the legendary higher realm, he had given up his identity as a heavenly demon and reincarnated as a human-demon hybrid.
After all, without the bloodline of the human race, he could not obtain the human race's fate treasures.
After all, the hybrid body also possessed the bloodline of the human race, so he could also obtain the fate treasures and receive their blessing.
As long as he could obtain one or two of them, he could carry out his plan and try to attain that legendary higher realm!
The Evil Son was also excited.
If he could unify the Northern Zone and ascend to the human king's position, it would naturally be the best.
If he could not, he should still be able to obtain one of the treasures, which would help him to become stronger quickly.
Xin Yuanfeng and the others gritted their teeth as they looked at the Asura Ancient Land. Their hearts were bleeding. They had sacrificed too much for this yet, in the end, their big brother encountered an accident and could not return!
"No matter what, even if we die, we can't allow Cao Tianyi to get what he wants!" Xin Yuanfeng said with gritted teeth.
Pang Xinghai and the others nodded solemnly.
Cao Tianyi looked over coldly and said, "The fate treasures cannot be used by those above the Emperor realm. Therefore, we'll leave the fighting to the Emperor realm cultivators."
The uniqueness of the fate treasures was that those above the Emperor realm would be rejected. Even those at the Divine realm would suffer a backlash from fate if they forcefully took the fate treasures.
It was not worth the risk.
The Dao of Fate was too mysterious.
The higher the level of the fate treasure, the higher the requirement for the one who obtained it. Those who could obtain the fate treasures were all extremely talented geniuses who possessed great luck.
This was also the reason why the Heaven realm experts from the major forces, and even those at the Divine realm did not participate in it.
Only the Emperor realm cultivators could participate.
Otherwise, how could such treasures not end up in the hands of these Divine realm experts?
"Qin Ying is dead. The grudge of foiling my plan will be borne by all of you."
As Cao Tianyi spoke, he walked toward Xin Yuanfeng and the others step by step.
The Emperor realm experts of the Great Qian Palace followed suit, along with the elite cultivators of Cao Tianyi's faction.
Xin Yuanfeng and the others' faces were gloomy, but they did not display any fear as they went up to meet him.
Nine Swords Mountain, the Qishan Alliance, the Yu family, and the other Emperor realm cultivators all followed suit. These were the factions that had opposed Cao Tianyi's plan back then.
As for the other forces that favored Qin Ying, since Qin Ying was not around, they were hesitating at this moment and did not take sides immediately.
Most of these other forces lacked a Divine realm expert, so taking sides rashly was extremely disadvantageous.
Aside from the Ling family of the Eastern Region, Cao Tianyi's faction also included the Su family of the Central Region.
Ling Baiyun, the Heaven's Blessed of the Ling family, and Su Xuanhe, the Heaven's Blessed of the Su family.
In terms of both strength and numbers, Xin Yuanfeng and the others were already at a disadvantage. Pang Xinghai, Xin Yuanfeng, and Peng Qiguang had to join forces to block Cao Tianyi, while Yu Bailong had no obvious advantage against Ling Baiyun.
Bai Shaokong was evenly matched against Su Xuanhe, so he would not be able to defeat Su Xuanhe within a short period of time.
Nine Swords Mountain might not lose to the Great Qian Palace in a battle between their Emperor realm cultivators, while the forces of the Qishan Alliance and the Yu family were similar to that of the Ling and Su families.
"Mo Hongliu, it's time for you to help. Since Qin Ying is dead, it's time to clean up his people. We'll decide the victor between us after that!"
Cao Tianyi looked at Mo Hongliu and said coldly.
"Heh, alright. It's a good time to clean up Qin Ying's side anyway."
Mo Hongliu smiled. He spun the half-moon blade in his hand and walked over.
Xin Yuanfeng and the others' hearts sank. They did not doubt Mo Hongliu's strength. Hence, Peng Qiguang turned his gaze to the Evil Son.
"Do you not think that they will join forces to target you later?"
The Evil Son's eyes flashed as he continued to smile. "There's no need to try to rope me in. My Great Evil Palace is also Qin Ying's enemy."
As he spoke, he actually stepped forward and said, "It's time to take revenge."
Pang Xinghai and the others' faces were gloomy. They were stuck in a terrible predicament at the moment.
Clang!
Two young men who looked exactly the same walked out slowly and blocked the Evil Son's path.
"Since you are from the Great Evil Palace, you are an enemy of our Jiang family. Evil Son, we will be your opponent."
The Jiang family was a family from the Central Region that focused on the Sword Dao.
"It's the Jiang family's twin experts. Is the Jiang family going to side with Xin Yuanfeng and the others?"
"Qin Ying is dead. It's not wise for them to take that side."
Some powerful experts discussed in low voices.
Cao Tianyi narrowed his eyes. "Has the Jiang family made their choice?"
"Our Jiang family will only target the Great Evil Palace."
"I hope so," Cao Tianyi said coldly.
Golden light blossomed around his entire body as the God-slaying Saber Aura surrounded him. His golden fists were filled with killing intent he charged toward Xin Yuanfeng and the others.
"I'll deal with that scoundrel Cao Tianyi with Third Brother. Fourth and Fifth Brother will deal with Mo Hongliu. Seventh Brother will deal with Su Xuanhe, and the rest will split up to deal with Ling Baiyun!"
Pang Xinghai said in a deep voice.
