"Not for the sake of becoming an immortal..."
A clear voice echoed throughout the heavens, but the second half of the sentence was inaudible to the people.
Amidst the horrified gazes of countless cultivators, the Devouring Demon Jar revived, absorbing the sun, moon, and stars, with starlight from all over the sky gathering and entering the jar.
At this moment, the Devouring Jar trembled, and a peculiar rhythm spread throughout the universe, causing everyone to have a strange feeling, as if some life within the jar was sighing!
"Who is it?" People were horrified and their scalps tingled.
Legend has it that this Heaven-Swallowing Jar was forged by the Ruthless Great Emperor using her first incarnation as an emperor. Could it be that the appearance of this jar is the way that empress sought immortality and ascension to heaven?
It looks like it actually worked!
"Long! Long! Long!"
At this moment, the Undying Heavenly Blade that had just appeared shattered the chaos with a bang, just like a true flawless ancient emperor, surrounded by immortal light, and peerless in five colors.
Some top-tier quasi-emperors even saw that beneath the Heavenly Blade, there was a stone egg receiving its baptism, with all the cosmic energy gathered from the eight wastelands and six directions flowing into that stone egg.
"The youngest son of the Immortal Emperor, the little fairy phoenix that old bastard values most!" The Black Emperor's eyes narrowed.
Pang Bo, Long Ma, and others were all very serious.
"A phoenix like the immortal emperor?" Yan Ruyu murmured. If that were true, the little phoenix's physique would be unparalleled throughout history. With neither a chaotic body nor a primordial holy body appearing, it would be difficult to find anyone who could rival it.
"Why didn't Ye Fan take a liking to the Purple Mansion Saintess with the Innate Dao Embryo?" the Black Emperor said indignantly.
Ji Ziyue glanced at the Black Emperor and snorted softly.
The Ji family members present all looked rather grim; this damned dog had actually come up with some unrealistic plans.
Black King was embarrassed; it was indeed a bit awkward to say it to his face like that.
Longma scoffed, "He's so thin-skinned, I'd rather not associate with him!"
Hua Hua shook her head, but was hit on the forehead by the Black Emperor's claw, making her dizzy.
"They show no respect for their teachers at all!" the Black Emperor complained.
Hua Hua chuckled, "Isn't this all learned from you, Uncle Black Emperor?"
"The Undying Heavenly Blade, does it really dare to carry Little Immortal Phoenix's stone egg during the great battle? Isn't it afraid of something going wrong?! Or does it have some other trump card..." Ji Haoyue pondered.
It should be noted that there are many supreme beings present, including imperial weapons and artifacts, as well as supreme beings such as Cao Ya, Chuan Ying, and the Primordial Ancient Mine. In short, none of them are weak. If one is not careful, even the Undying Heavenly Blade will find it difficult to defend against them completely. A little bit of imperial aura would be enough to grind the stone egg to dust.
No matter how extraordinary one's origins are, it still needs time to grow. How could a nascent celestial phoenix be qualified to withstand the supreme imperial might!
Even after being born, one still needs a long period of cultivation and experience before one can hope to reach the pinnacle of the imperial path.
The Undying Heavenly Blade's participation in the battle, along with the Stone Egg, was undeniably a bold move.
Bang! Bang!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chuan Ying launched an attack, but was intercepted by the Undying Heavenly Blade. The immortal phoenix, formed from the essence of the Undying Emperor, pierced through the universe with a single peck, wounding Chuan Ying and leaving a bloody hole in his chest.
With a clang, the Heavenly Blade cleaved down, its gleam as white as lightning, slicing through Chuan Ying's magical power. The stone staff trembled violently, the hard bow almost flew out of his hand, and his tiger's mouth cracked open, blood flowing freely.
The ferocity of that Heavenly Blade was beyond imagination. Its sharpness was unparalleled in the universe. Even those who achieved enlightenment through unorthodox means were no match for it, and were actually weaker than a single blade!
"Could it be a celestial artifact?!"
Countless cultivators exclaimed in surprise, finding it unbelievable.
Extreme divine weapons are very strong, surpassing quasi-emperors and even those about to achieve enlightenment, but they are inferior to supreme beings. If a flawless ancient emperor were to use five or six of these weapons together, he would be able to put up a fight.
As the first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court and a dignified unconventional Daoist, Chuanying was slightly inferior to the flawless Great Emperor, but he was difficult to distinguish from the Supreme Being.
However, even such a powerful general as Chuan Ying was forced back by a single blade. The blade's energy was like a vast sea, its waves boundless and invincible.
Chuan Ying coughed up blood, staggered back thousands of miles, and frowned deeply.
He knew the Immortal Emperor was powerful; otherwise, the descendants of the ancient Heavenly Court wouldn't have almost been wiped out in the early Primordial Era.
But it was just a knife...
"Chirp~~"
Suddenly, the phoenix cried out, and five-colored light rose up, filling the sky and illuminating all directions.
Beside the Emperor's summoning drum, on the Ancient Phoenix Platform, the remnant spirit of the Immortal Taoist sat cross-legged, channeling his magical power to heal the Immortal Empress.
"The Undying Emperor certainly has a lot of backup plans." Chuan Ying sneered. He refused to believe that he, having exerted all his strength, would be defeated by a single blade!
Even with the help of the immortal phoenix formed from the blood essence of the immortal emperor!
"Chuan Ying, remnants of the ancient Heavenly Court! In the early days of the Primordial Era, the Heavenly Emperor was merciful and spared your lives. Not only are you ungrateful, but you even dared to slaughter the Eight Divine Generals... You are truly courting death!" A cold voice came from within the Undying Heavenly Blade, sacred and majestic, as if the Undying Heavenly Emperor were alive and reigning supreme over the universe.
Everyone knows that it is the deity of the Immortal Heavenly Blade.
"However, this spirituality is far too abundant. Other imperial weapons also have deities, but none can compare to the Heavenly Blade, which is like a living entity." The saints were surprised and shocked by the terror of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Blade.
Cao Ya knew that the Undying Emperor was a powerful figure on the path to immortality in the mortal world. His Heavenly Blade contained the Emperor's Dao, making it naturally extraordinary and far surpassing ordinary imperial weapons. It was already close to becoming a celestial artifact.
In contrast, there are the Beginningless Bell and the Heaven-Swallowing Jar.
Currently, the three immortal artifacts—the Immortal Bell, the Desolate Tower, and the Green Cauldron—are still superior.
"You dare to be distracted when facing my enemy?" The Supreme Being of the Primordial Ancient Mine had a cold look in his eyes. His divine fist smashed down, causing the starry sky to collapse and all directions to wail. The supreme imperial aura and countless runes sliced through the Great World of Heaven and Earth.
Cao Ya drew his sword, its sharpness unparalleled, piercing through the Great Dao runes. The bright blue light shattered the Imperial Dao Laws. Taking advantage of the momentum, the Human Emperor Seal struck out, causing the Supreme Being of the Primordial Ancient Mine to stagger and bleed from the top of his head.
Then the Immortal Tears Green Gold Gate shook, exuding the Daoist aura of the Ancient Celestial Venerable, suppressing the broken Supreme Divine Artifact.
Because of Ning Fei, this supreme imperial weapon was shattered and no longer at its peak.
Therefore, Cao Ya had the upper hand this time, and was beating that supreme being.
"Everyone, if you don't show up soon, Cao Ya will defeat you one by one, and none of you will come out unscathed!" the Supreme Being shouted, his voice shaking the Big Dipper and sending it into the forbidden zone of life, intending to awaken the many Supreme Beings.
"Buzzing..."
Strange sounds echoed, and celestial light soared into the sky. Supreme beams of light emanated from the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Undying Mountain, the Immortal Tomb, the Divine Ruins, and the Heavenly Burial Island, penetrating beyond the realm and piercing through the starry sea.
It seems that these supreme beings are truly about to emerge and once again unleash a dark upheaval!
Cao Ya's expression changed slightly, and his movements became even more rapid. Sword energy swept outwards, and the Human Emperor Seal and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate also became violent. The Emperor's Laws boiled, responding to Cao Ya's will, and fiercely attacked that Supreme Being, wanting to eliminate this person first and avert a calamity!
On the other side, Chuanying also noticed the movement of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone. His brows furrowed, and in an instant, he clashed with the Undying Heavenly Blade for over a hundred rounds, but to no avail. He failed to smash the stone egg with a single blow, and was even pecked several times by the Immortal Phoenix, leaving him with a bloody wound.
"Bang!"
!
Even the remnant of the Immortal Daoist seized the opportunity and struck Chuan Ying's divine body with a palm, causing numerous cracks. In an instant, he was sent flying millions of miles away, his face deathly pale, his aura fluctuating, and he was severely injured.
As a former supreme being, although his magical power was diminished, his vision remained. Instead of confronting the enemy head-on, he merely observed from the sidelines. Occasionally, when he made a move, the remnant god of the Undying Daoist still posed a certain threat.
Moreover, both the Undying Heavenly Blade and the Immortal Phoenix are Supreme-level beings. Even if the Immortal Phoenix cannot last long and will soon exhaust its energy, dry up its essence and blood, and eventually disappear, there is no doubt that it can fully demonstrate Supreme-level combat power in a short period of time, and may even surpass it, comparable to a flawless ancient emperor!
Even with two against one, Chuan Ying, no matter how strong, would find it difficult to match.
Furthermore, the weapon of the Undying Emperor, imbued with his imperial path, surpasses that of the ancient emperors. Walking on the path of immortality in the mortal world, it cannot be regarded as any other imperial weapon, having taken a half-step beyond the peak of humanity.
The defeat of the Chuan-Ying faction is understandable.
Of course, Chuan Ying could understand this point, but he was unwilling to accept it.
The ancient Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty have been mortal enemies since ancient times. In this war, the Divine Organization won and the Eight Divine Generals were wiped out, but he lost to the Undying Heavenly Blade...
Chuan Ying roared, drew back his bow, and gathered the essence of the sun and moon to shoot out a divine arrow hundreds of thousands of miles long, aimed directly at the stone egg protected by the Heavenly Blade.
"You treacherous dog, Chuanying, if the Little Immortal Phoenix were to be born, give him a thousand years, and you would be no match for him!" Tian Dao said coldly, his blade trembling as a wave of energy swept across the land, snapping the divine arrow in two.
The phoenix let out a long, mysterious cry, and suddenly pounced out, its immortal light swirling around it. It severely injured Chuan Ying once again, causing him to cough up blood and stagger backward.
"Chuan Ying, let's give that Heavenly Blade to the Devouring Heaven Jar. The battlefield just happens to need your help to defeat the enemy and deter the Northern Dipper Forbidden Zone," Cao Ya suggested.
Chuan Ying thought for a moment, then decided not to be stubborn. He transformed into divine light and fled, rushing towards the Death Nether Spear, the Golden Mace, the Myriad Dragon Bell, and the others.
He wasn't a stubborn person—otherwise, how could he have protected the entire divine organization and ensured its survival through generations under the oppressive power of the Heavenly Emperor Dynasty during its heyday in the early Primordial Era?! Since he was no match for the emperor in a direct confrontation, he would act according to the emperor's orders.
Since Cao Ya said that, he obviously believed that the mutated Devouring Jar could withstand the combined attack of the Undying Heavenly Blade and the Immortal Phoenix.
"At the very least, we can hold out for a while. Once I work with Lao Shen and Ye Fan to destroy or repel these ancient emperor weapons, and with the help of the supreme imperial weapons, we'll have a great chance to surround and kill the Heavenly Blade Immortal Phoenix!" Chuan Ying thought.
"kill!
!
Chuan Ying roared, drawing a bow in one hand and wielding a staff in the other. His terrifying magical power was astonishing. He attacked the Death Nether Spear on one hand and attacked Wan Longling on the other.
The Devouring Heaven Jar detached, and Ye Fan, wielding the broken cauldron, clashed head-on with the Death Nether Spear controlled by the Lord of the Underworld. The situation was critical, golden blood splattered, and his face turned as white as gold paper.
Of course, the Lord of the Underworld was also in bad shape; his injuries were no better than Ye Fan's.
The complete Green Cauldron is a celestial artifact, while even a fragment is comparable to an ancient divine artifact.
When Chuan Ying arrived, the Lord of the Underworld had a gloomy and extremely ugly expression.
"Even if I die, you won't have an easy time!" the Lord of the Underworld roared, brandishing the Death Spear. Dark light surged, shaking all realms and causing the heavens to tremble.
Chuan Ying raised an eyebrow and struck out with the stone staff, restricting the Death Nether Spear and gradually eroding its laws.
"winter!
"Ye Fan controlled the broken cauldron and cooperated with the Divine General Chuan Ying, firmly gaining the upper hand. No matter how the Lord of the Underworld roared and the Death Nether Spear created thousands of afterimages, it was difficult for him to escape."
"when!
!
The Holy Prince, burning with fighting spirit, charged forward relentlessly, wielding the Immortal Iron Cudgel with unparalleled domineering power. His battle techniques were sharp and powerful, complementing the Myriad Dragon Bell forged from divine marks and purple gold, causing the stars to collapse and the Great Dao to vanish.
"Buzz..."
With the Void Mirror above Ji Zi's head, he, at the Quasi-Emperor level, could already unleash many of the forbidden spells created by his father, revealing their essence. Furthermore, the ancient mirror magnified the spells, making the void seem to solidify and the golden light to shatter. The divine weapon of the Golden Ancient Emperor showed signs of being no match for it.
Upon seeing this, the quasi-emperor of the Golden Clan turned ashen-faced, roared repeatedly, and spat out his essence and blood, desperately providing energy to help the Golden Mace knock away the Void Mirror.
But this was all in vain. Ji Zi remained calm and steady, gradually eroding the Golden Mace's space.
At the same time, Jiang Taixu used the Douzi Secret Technique to condense a second Hengyu Furnace, which, together with the original Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Furnace, blazed with flames that burned through the Great Dao.
The ancient quasi-emperor opposite him stood solemnly, his imperial hammer striking down with fierce power, plunging the starry sky into darkness.
Princess Shencan, dressed in the divine emperor's battle armor, was radiant with nine kinds of divine light that covered her graceful body. Her imperial aura was overwhelming, and she was fierce and incomparable.
"Princess Divine Silkworm, as a princess of the Primordial Royal Family, you actually sided with the Human Race... and that Holy Prince... you are all traitors to the Primordial Era!" The Quasi-Emperor of the Ancient Clan roared, his imperial sword sharp and unparalleled, piercing through the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
However, it could not penetrate the Divine Emperor's Immortal Robe and pierce the delicate body of the Divine Silkworm Princess.
The ancient emperor of Shencan Ridge was a divine silkworm that rose to power. He was invincible in heaven and earth with ten transformations and dared to call himself "Divine Emperor", which shows his strength.
Although the royal artifacts left behind by the person were defensive battle armor, their killing power was equally formidable.
Upon hearing this, Princess Divine Silkworm sneered and said, "The ancient races were originally different races, many of them were sworn enemies, the kind that would fight to the death, like wolves and sheep. And you say that the ancient spirits were actually one large race? Go and talk to them, and see if they agree!"
"You are also royalty, with ancient emperors who once ruled the nine heavens and ten earths, and now quasi-emperors are rising, which can greatly demonstrate the power of the ancient imperial weapons..."
"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. We are both of royal lineage, and each of us has our own considerations and principles within our clans."
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!"
Princess Divine Silkworm, too lazy to talk any further, activated the battle armor left behind by the Divine Emperor. Nine-colored immortal light surged, clashing head-on with the Ancient Emperor's Divine Sword, shattering the void. Chaotic mist surged and destroyed the star sea.
The ancient quasi-emperor snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Besides, the old woodcutter, wielding the Azure Emperor Lotus, whose emerald light blazed to the heavens, had actually subdued that ancient imperial seal, causing the Divine Court Emperor's eyes to twitch.
"Damn it, even though they are both imperial weapons, there are differences in strength?!" The Divine Court Emperor was frustrated, a chill seeping into his spine, and he began to seek a way to escape.
But the woodcutter remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. Working together with the Chaos Green Lotus, he gradually reduced the attack range of the Ancient Emperor Seal. Like Ji Zi and the Void Mirror, he was slowly boiling the frog in water, defeating the imperial weapon and killing the formidable enemy!

"Boom..."
Cao Ya controlled the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate and, in conjunction with the Human Emperor Seal, restricted the Supreme Being's movements. He was trapped in a quagmire, struck by thunder and lightning, scorched by flames, and subjected to various magical powers such as sword energy, leaving the Supreme Being exhausted and in a sorry state.
Only after personally facing Cao Ya did the Supreme Being realize why the Carefree Celestial Venerable had been killed by Cao Ya in a one-on-one battle.
"Damn it! What are those cowards afraid of? Don't they have any guts at all?!" the Supreme Being roared in fury.
The Northern Dipper Forbidden Zone is permeated with imperial aura, yet the supreme beings seem to be considering their options, and have not yet fully awakened to step out of their slumbering place.
Cao Ya knew that those supreme beings were also worried. If, after their emergence, all the imperial weapons were defeated and fled, those few supreme imperial weapons would be used for killing, and with his own combat power at the level of a contemporary emperor, plus Chuan Ying, and the Devouring Heaven Jar that once fought a flawless ancient emperor alone...
If we consider all the places in the universe, just like during the last period of dark turmoil, there are likely to be numerous supreme divine weapons that could appear...
Admittedly, they outnumbered the enemy by a factor of two and were extremely powerful, surpassing even the Supreme Emperor Artifacts. However, learning from past mistakes, even if they were to win, the casualties would be considerable!
I fear that many of them will perish.
Once you've entered a forbidden zone, who would willingly become someone else's stepping stone?
This concern caused them to hesitate in their actions.
"A bunch of idiots, always looking back and forth, they'll pay the price for their foolish actions sooner or later!" the Primordial Ancient Mine Supreme cursed angrily.
Cao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. As time went on, their situation would only get better and better.
He was confident that he could take down this supreme being.
After Chuan Ying made his move, the outcome of that supreme battlefield of weapons was already predetermined; it was only a matter of how much time it would take.
As for the fierce Heavenly Blade Immortal Phoenix...
Cao Ya thought to himself, "With the Devouring Heaven Jar undergoing its transformation and the Empress's phantom appearing, how could it possibly lose to the remnants of the Undying Emperor?!"
