"What a wonderful magic pot!" Chuan Ying exclaimed, clapping his hands in admiration.
Just then, Cao Ya's eyes flashed slightly as he sensed something. With a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.
Chuan Ying laughed heartily, and then disappeared as well.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating whether the two supreme beings, now in action, can expand their gains.
"Boom..."
On the other side, the Undying Heavenly Blade felt frustrated, its blade energy surging, cutting through countless paths, becoming the source of destruction.
In the direct confrontation, the Empress, transformed by the Demon Jar, was severed in two. This was a disgrace, and it also meant that the Heavenly Blade had lost to the Demon Jar.
It is foreseeable that from now on, the Immortal Emperor's prestige will be inferior to that of the Ruthless Great Emperor!
This is unacceptable to the Undying Heavenly Blade.
But when it comes to strength, they simply can't win. What can they do?
"Retreat!" The Immortal Taoist remained calm and decisive, issuing the order to retreat.
"ah!
"No matter how unwilling and angry Tian Dao was, he had no choice but to obey."
Continuing to hold on will only make things worse!
"Stop!" The Undying Heavenly Blade vanished into the void, fleeing, not wanting to be truly destroyed here.
"Where do you think you're going?! Go back to your grandfather's place!" A sudden shout rang out, and the stone staff struck out with tremendous force, hitting the Heavenly Blade directly and sending him flying with a clang.
Chuan Ying drew back the bowstring again, gathered energy, and shot out a light arrow with a tail flame that was millions of miles long!
When did the Undying Heavenly Blade Roar of Filial Piety become so arrogant in front of an unorthodox cultivator?!
"Do you really think I can be bullied like this? Chuan Ying, don't underestimate me!" the Undying Heavenly Blade roared. The two blades trembled, radiating cold light like a waterfall of five-colored immortal light, or a celestial river cascading down from the heavens, flowing endlessly.
At this moment, the Undying Heavenly Blade unleashed its ferocious power once more. The once invincible weapon, the divine artifact of the Heavenly Emperor, and a being revered by all races, had fallen to its current state, facing the danger of destruction. This predicament drove the Heavenly Blade into a frenzy, causing it to go mad.
"Boom!"
"
The violent collision caused the blade energy to blast away the light arrows and force back the stone staffs. Regardless of the losses, they fought a fierce battle against Chuan Ying.
The Undying Heavenly Blade, which had almost reached the level of a Celestial Weapon, still possessed unimaginable power even when injured. When Chuan Ying fought against it, he did achieve some results, bending the broken blade and creating numerous cracks. However, in return, Chuan Ying himself was also injured by the blade's energy, his body bursting open with clean cuts and divine blood flowing down.
During this time, Cao Ya suddenly appeared and blocked the Immortal Taoist, his sword energy raining down in countless strands.
The Immortal Daoist roared, his arm like a blade, revealing the essence of the Heavenly Blade to retaliate against Cao Ya. The divine power and laws of the two collided, causing an earth-shattering explosion, and large swathes of the void were shattered.
It must be admitted that the Taoist who has incorporated the Immortal Emperor's mark is ridiculously powerful.
The most important point is that the Undying Daoist is inherently very strong, possessing the essence of a supreme being. At his peak, he can be considered an unconventional Daoist. Furthermore, due to the shared lineage, he can effectively control the Undying Emperor's imprint and activate the Emperor's Great Dao. He is practically half an Undying Emperor incarnate, possessing boundless divine power and an abyss-like vastness.
"That old bastard, the Immortal Emperor, left behind quite a lot of things. He's incredibly meticulous and cunning," Cao Ya thought to himself.
The Undying Emperor's backup plans, not counting himself, also include the Undying Empress, the remaining original Eight Divine Generals, the Undying Heavenly Blade, the Undying Daoist, the Ancient Phoenix Platform, the Emperor's Summoning Drum, and so on. If you count them carefully, none of these things are something that any hero in the world can deal with!
Even a quasi-emperor wouldn't do!
The minimum requirement is someone who will attain enlightenment, or even... an unconventional enlightened being! Or even a contemporary emperor!
"No wonder his conspiracy has been seen through by very few people throughout history; only emperors and sovereigns of the highest level have a slight understanding of it."
Cao Ya sighed softly, pointed his finger, and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate stood in the void. It trembled suddenly, and the illusory River of Time appeared. It was suppressed by the divine gate, but it wrapped around the Undying Daoist, offsetting the incomplete Heavenly Emperor's Great Dao.
At the same time, the aura of the Taiyin Emperor permeated the air. Although the ancient seal of the Taiyin Holy Emperor was incomplete, it was still extraordinary. The gods within it revived, ruthless and merciless, and launched a fierce attack on the body of faith of the greatest conspirator in history.
Fortunately, the Immortal Daoist had a broad vision and was blessed by the Heavenly Emperor's Dao. Even though it was just an imprint and not complete, it was still beyond the Ancient Emperor's Dao and touched the laws of the mortal realm. Even a trace of it was enough to give the Supreme Being a hard time.
In addition, given his status as an Immortal Daoist, his use of the Heavenly Emperor's Laws, while not as powerful as the original, is still quite profound and extremely fierce.
As soon as they clashed, the Immortal Daoist blocked Cao Ya's attacks. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged hundreds of blows. Relying on his sword techniques and divine arts, as well as the Eternal Blue-Gold Divine Sword, the Taiyin Holy Emperor Seal, and the Immortal Tear Green-Gold Gate, Cao Ya gradually began to gain the upper hand.
Of course, while he could defeat the Immortal Taoist on his own, it would be impossible without a long and arduous battle.
At this moment, the Empress, graceful and otherworldly, approached, her fair hands like petals entwined, wafting a delicate fragrance, and showering down light and rain, a sight that captivated countless onlookers.
Only those quasi-emperors knew the terrifying magical power the Empress carried in her palms. A single leak of it could easily shatter a star sea and kill a hundred or eighty quasi-emperors.
With the Empress's attack, the Immortal Taoist's situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Cao Ya and the Devouring Heaven Jar were no match for the Undying Daoist in a one-on-one situation, let alone now that they were working together.
"Bang bang..." The Undying Daoist's body exploded, countless times this time. If it weren't for the accumulation of faith power, which was extremely profound and could still support his recovery, barely maintain his persistence, and resist with the Emperor's Law to buy time and space to survive, the Undying Daoist would have died long ago.
"Cough cough!"
"The situation of the Immortal Daoist is quite bad. The Flying Immortal Technique will break through a part of the Heavenly Emperor's Laws, and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle is in the air, which also shows signs of suppressing the Heavenly Emperor's remaining imperial Dao."
"The Ruthless Emperor... truly embodies the word 'ruthless,' a sentiment that transcends eternity!"
The Immortal Daoist was unaware of how many times he had marveled at the terror of the Empress transformed from the Devouring Heaven Jar.
"boom……"
At the same time, the sword intent was fierce and ruthless, capable of cutting through anything. Whether it was the power of faith or the laws of the Heavenly Emperor, Cao Ya would shatter them all with a single sword strike!
“Cao Ya, if you become an emperor, I’m afraid you will be no less than the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Beginningless Great Emperor, and you may even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor, the Emperor Venerable, and the Underworld Venerable.” As the Undying Daoist spoke, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes slightly, and uttered divine sounds, chanting an ancient magic incantation. A strange power spread through the void, causing the hearts of the saints watching the battle to pound.
"Want to die together?" Cao Ya raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through his mind. He stepped back, but the blue sword in his hand danced rapidly, unleashing boundless sword energy and sweeping death intent. All kinds of Dao principles were condensed, transforming into countless layers of interlocking magic arrays, pressing down on the Undying Daoist who was sitting cross-legged in the void.
To avoid damage to the Human Emperor Seal and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate, he also manipulated the two imperial artifacts to launch a long-range attack.
Cao Ya deliberately left the Empress's side untouched, not wanting to attract the hostility of the Devouring Heaven Jar.
He had at least been in charge for a period of time, and through that, he had gained some insights into the Devouring Heaven Emperor's Dao.
That imperial weapon is not something to be reasoned with.
As expected, the Empress remained indifferent, holding a bottle in one hand, her magic surging, enough to devour the sun, moon, and the universe.
"Heavenly Blade, if you don't leave now, when will you? The Emperor still has a great use for you in the mortal realm!" Suddenly, the Immortal Daoist shouted, followed by a loud bang.
"rumble!
"
In an instant, violent divine power surged forth, sweeping across the starry sky. The Undying Daoist self-destructed, and the power unleashed by the self-destruction of a supreme being shook the great world and shattered all paths.
If it weren't for the power of the Empress and Cao Ya, which limited the Immortal Daoist's self-destruction and confined its destructive force to a small area, causing only violent fluctuations that shook the heavens, this part of the starry sky would have been completely dead, devoid of life, and the surrounding star systems would have suffered as well.
"He could even withstand the self-destruction of a supreme being without getting hurt?" Hundreds of millions of cultivators stared wide-eyed, their scalps tingling with disbelief.
Even those inside the restricted area wore solemn expressions.
The Devouring Jar and Cao Ya had given them far too much horror to describe.
"Almost..." Cao Ya breathed a sigh of relief, holding the Eternal Blue Gold Sword. His figure, though not tall, seemed to support this starry sky.
"Phew~~"
The Emperor's Seal flew back, exuding an aura of imperial power. The Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate shrank to the size of a palm and landed beside him, absorbing and releasing violent energy.
On the other side, the Empress turned around and looked in the direction of the Undying Heavenly Blade.
Cao Ya also looked over.
Chuan Ying was fierce and powerful, fighting against the Undying Heavenly Blade. Despite being wounded, he managed to capture it.
"The Immortal Daoist is actually dead..." When the Heavenly Blade realized the outcome of the other battlefield, its heart skipped a beat. It knew something was wrong, and if it didn't make a decision soon, it wouldn't be able to escape either!
"stop!
!
The two broken blades spewed forth crimson light, like the blood of a celestial phoenix, wafting a fragrant aroma. There were also mysterious fluctuations of the Great Dao that helped the Heavenly Blade reconnect.
"The profound meaning of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold!" People's eyes gleamed.
The divine metals between heaven and earth each possess unique wonders. Without such extraordinary abilities, how could they be worthy of the favor of the Great Emperor and the Ancient Sovereign?
The Undying Heavenly Blade, an ultimate divine weapon forged by the Undying Emperor from five kinds of immortal metals after he plundered the universe, is quite unique.
It not only inscribes the laws of the Heavenly Emperor, but is also proficient in various secret arts, possesses the Daoist charm of the Immortal Bell comprehended by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and can even utilize the mysteries of the five types of immortal metals, displaying extraordinary and unique abilities beyond imagination.
At this moment, the Undying Heavenly Blade, bracing against Chuan Ying's fierce attack, unleashed the profound meaning of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and the principles of the other four immortal golds, striking Chuan Ying horizontally. Finally, it gained a momentary opening, leaped out, traversed the void, and quickly escaped.
With a thought, Cao Ya also broke through the void, and with a single point of his sword, pierced through the Heavenly Blade.
The Empress moved with unhurried speed, yet with incredible speed. She pressed down with her palm, and celestial light danced, actually suppressing the profound mysteries of immortal metal!
"ah!
"!" Tian Dao roared, this time he was really desperate. If he was trapped again, without the help of the Undying Daoist and the Immortal Phoenix, his fate was predictable.
"The Emperor still needs me! Little Fairy Phoenix also needs my help, and needs me to protect him!"
"I can't die yet!"
Undying Heavenly Blade roared, and with another desperate charge, his entire body burned with blood-red light—the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold was boiling, like a real living being with blood gushing out.
At the same time, the other four divine metals were also pulsating, displaying unparalleled profound mysteries and wondrous supernatural powers, blocking Cao Ya, guarding against the Devouring Heaven Jar, and resisting Chuan Ying.
Of course, the Undying Heavenly Blade also knew that relying solely on this power to stop the three powerful enemies and force them to retreat was wishful thinking.
"There's no other way..." Tian Dao hardened his heart and shouted "Explode!" Immediately, with a "clang," an ancient immortal bell emerged from the blade. Although it was illusory, it had a sense of eternity and immortality, like the immortals that people dream of!
"That's... the Celestial Bell?!"
Throughout the universe, cultivators from all directions were in an uproar.
No one expected that the Undying Heavenly Blade would manifest the legendary Immortal Bell and use it against the enemy.
The Green Cauldron, the Immortal Bell, and the Desolate Tower are more renowned than any imperial weapon!
Those are the only three celestial artifacts in history!
It symbolizes the path to immortality!
It guides the way forward for countless cultivators throughout the ages.
Even the ancient emperors, mythical celestial beings, and primordial rulers dreamed of obtaining one of the three great immortal artifacts, pondering them day and night and comprehending the mysteries of immortality.
[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend I've known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu]
The fact that it can arouse the desire of those at the pinnacle of cultivation shows just how alluring a celestial artifact is!
Its power is also evident!
However, people couldn't understand why the Undying Heavenly Blade could reveal a phantom immortal bell, flowing with a trace of immortal profound meaning, as if it had seen the immortal bell with its own eyes and had a deep understanding of it.
“It’s…the Immortal Emperor…” A quick-witted person realized what was happening and Tong Kong clenched his fist.
The others followed suit and realized the same thing.
It must be the Undying Emperor who once obtained the Immortal Bell, studied it, and infused his own insights into the Heavenly Blade!
"That immortal emperor is really lucky." Countless cultivators couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
It should be known that among all the great emperors and ancient sovereigns throughout history, including the Heavenly Venerables, the number of people who could obtain one of the immortal artifacts and play with it from time to time would be no more than two palms in length!
Currently, the Immortal Emperor is one of them.
Furthermore, he unprecedentedly collected five types of immortal gold and divine materials, which many great emperors and ancient emperors envied.
As time goes on, the resources available to future generations will only decrease due to the depletion of resources by their predecessors.
This is a natural law that no one can change.
Unless a new world emerges!
"when!
!
A single bell tolls, piercing through the heavens. The immortal charm of the celestial bell permeates all realms, captivating countless cultivators, even quasi-emperors are mesmerized.
"The Kunlun Immortal Bell!" Chuan Ying murmured. The Kunlun Divine Mountain on the ancient planet Earth nurtured many wonders, including the Immortal Bell!
At its peak, the ancient Heavenly Court also controlled Kunlun!
Of course, the Undying Heavenly Blade only activated a wisp of the Immortal Bell imprint, which was injected by the Undying Heavenly Emperor and contained his understanding of the profound mysteries of the Immortal Bell.
At this moment, the illusory image of the Immortal Bell appeared, and the immortal Dao rhythm pulsed. Before people could observe it closely, the Undying Heavenly Blade shouted "Explode!"
Immediately, the hazy celestial bell swayed and then exploded.
"Boom..."
The Milky Way shattered, the Great Dao was obliterated, as if the heavens and earth were created, or as if the universe had ended. Anything immortal would perish.
With the help of the Immortal Bell's self-destruction, the Undying Heavenly Blade finally escaped. After a couple of swaying motions, it vanished into nothingness.
Because of the self-destruction of the Immortal Bell imprint, Cao Ya, Chuan Ying, and the Empress were all a moment too late.
"It's a pity that it got away; the biggest fish couldn't be kept," Chuanying said regretfully.
"Without the Immortal Bell Imprint, and with the five types of divine metals severely damaged, the Undying Heavenly Blade's rank will likely drop slightly, becoming even more distant from the realm of immortal weapons. For the next tens of thousands of years, we won't need to worry about this Heavenly Blade anymore," Cao Ya said, manipulating the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate to soothe the power generated by the self-destruction of the Immortal Bell Imprint, preventing it from being released and destroying the ancient star of life.
Chuan Ying also swept his stone staff across the room, neutralizing much of the violent magical power.
The Empress's ten fingers, as slender as scallions, smoothed out the vast area of chaos before disappearing without a word. Only chaotic energy rose, obscuring the void. Then, her aloof figure vanished, leaving only a magic jar in her place.
Ye Fan stepped forward and took the Devouring Demon Jar back. Before the battle, he had borrowed the jar and the demon lid to assemble a complete imperial weapon.
In retrospect, this proactive measure has proven remarkably effective.
The Holy Prince, Princess Ji, Jiang Taixu, the Woodcutter, the Old God, Princess Divine Silkworm, and others also came over.
They all felt it was a great pity that they couldn't leave behind the Undying Heavenly Blade.
"The stone egg guarded by the Undying Heavenly Blade, which was taken away by the Emperor's summoning drum beforehand, should be the youngest son of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the one on whom he truly placed his hopes," the Black Emperor said, glancing at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was speechless.
That damned dog is thinking about the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo again!
Everyone smiled upon seeing this.
Only the Ji family members looked rather unwell.
Ji Ziyue gritted her teeth and let out a soft snort.
However, the victory in the great battle laid the foundation for the cosmic order, and everyone was filled with joy, their faces beaming with smiles.
