"Empress..." Princess Shencan's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light.
With a clang, the Divine Emperor's battle robe fell off and automatically folded together. The nine-colored immortal light faded, and this ancient emperor's immortal robe seemed to have no weight, as Princess Divine Silkworm easily held it with one hand.
Himeko's expression was profound. Above his head, the Void Mirror calmed down, its light reflecting off the heavens.
The Holy Prince, clutching the Immortal Iron Cudgel, didn't think much of it; he was filled only with boundless fighting spirit!
"The Ruthless Great Emperor..." Ye Fan murmured, sighing as he recalled what he had seen and heard.
At the same time, the green cauldron returned to the body, guarding the vast sea of wheels, where golden waves rolled and blood energy surged.
"stop!
"
The old woodcutter released his grip, and the Chaotic Green Lotus flew out, returning to Yan Ruyu's control.
Chuan Ying laughed and said, "That Undying Heavenly Blade, judging from its words just now, was incredibly arrogant, truly a descendant of that old bastard, the Undying Heavenly Emperor. Haha, now it's in danger, and I'll seize the opportunity and not let it slip away!"
Chuan Ying's eyes burned as he focused on the battlefield, his killing intent swirling around him, ready to erupt at any moment.
But he didn't rush out, in case he angered the Devouring Jar, it would be a loss for him.
Moreover, with everyone stationed there, there was no concern that Tian Dao would cause any trouble.
"If I could obtain even a drop of the Immortal Emperor's essence blood..." the old god muttered to himself, putting down the Emperor's Horn, feeling a strange impulse.
If one were to obtain such royal blood essence and have Chuan Ying consume it, it might extend his lifespan by several hundred years!
The old god knew that Chuan Ying was old and had been injured in this supreme battle, with both his soul and body damaged. Even if he won, he wouldn't have many years left to live.
As for feeding on the common people...
Not to mention that the supreme being Cao Ya was right beside them, even the old god or Chuan Ying himself would never be willing to do such a thing.
Entering the forbidden zone is too dangerous; it could easily lead to a mob attack, resulting in being annihilated and causing calamity for all living beings in the universe, triggering chaos.
After much deliberation, the safest course of action was still to seize that drop of the Emperor's divine blood.
Chuan Ying understood the old god's meaning, shook his head, and said, "A drop of royal blood cannot prolong my life for too long. Furthermore, I was defeated by the Devouring Heaven Jar in the Immortal Phoenix Battle, and my strength has been damaged. I am no longer at my peak."
As he spoke, Chuanying sighed, "What's the point of adding a few decades or even a hundred years? Given my condition and age, it's destined that I will never be able to attain enlightenment."
"With Cao Ya, even if I pass away, I can rest in peace without worry, and continue to maintain order."
Seeing that the old god, the white-haired sword god, and Ye Fan were all about to speak, as if to offer advice, he suddenly smiled and waved his hand.
"Do you really think living too long is a good thing?" Chuan Ying's figure suddenly became somewhat lonely, and he said in a low voice, "In the midst of glory, to taste loneliness, solitude, and desolation, that kind of feeling, I don't want to endure anymore."
"In fact, I should have gone with my relatives and friends back in the mythical era. I've been lingering on until now, occasionally waking up, but I always find it boring."
Chuan Ying was filled with emotion, missing his old friends and relatives. Unfortunately, with the passage of time and millions of years, even their graves could no longer be found.
How could such a situation not cause one to feel sorrow, and wonder what joy there is in living and what fear there is in dying?
Upon hearing this, Ji Zi, the woodcutter, Jiang Taixu, and Princess Shencan all felt the same way, their expressions desolate and their backs lonely.
Even the usually resolute Holy Prince couldn't help but feel down for a moment.
Most of his parents, relatives, and friends died at the end of the ancient era. Only a few relatives and friends, such as the Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Divine Silkworm Princess, were sealed within the divine source like him and have now been born.
However, Cao Ya, who also came from ancient times, didn't evoke much of a reaction.
Ye Fan, Lao Shen, and the others glanced sideways, somewhat surprised.
Cao Yaquan pretended not to notice that he didn't know many people from more than 200,000 years ago, let alone have any old friends. Despite the long span of time, he did not feel sad.
He observed the Empress's display of divine power and grasped the essence of the Heavenly Blade, seeking to understand his own path to becoming an emperor.
"when!
!
This sound shook the eternal heavens, the universe shattered, the Undying Heavenly Blade bent and flew tens of millions of miles away, and its supreme blade light dimmed considerably at this moment.
It's not that the Heavenly Blade isn't strong enough, but that the Empress is too terrifying!
No matter how powerful the celestial gold and divine materials are, how can they compare to the Emperor's Body?
"How could I possibly lose?!" The Undying Heavenly Blade roared, revealing the divine power of the five immortal metals. The rosy clouds shone brightly, accompanied by a sharp blade intent, cleaving through tens of millions of miles of void. It was as if a flawless ancient emperor was exerting all his strength, aiming at that hazy figure and launching a barrage of attacks.
As a weapon meticulously forged by the Undying Emperor, this Heavenly Blade, a homonym for "Heavenly Dao," not only uses five divine materials but also bears the Undying Emperor's Dao principles. Furthermore, it incorporates the Immortal Bell Techniques comprehended by the Undying Emperor and some insights gained on the path to immortality, all of which were bestowed upon the Heavenly Blade, allowing it to transform and advance to the rank of Immortal Artifact, potentially rivaling the Desolate Tower Immortal Bell and the complete Green Cauldron.
"That blade is truly bizarre! Could it be that the Undying Emperor has truly cultivated to the level of an Emperor, thus causing the Heavenly Blade to evolve and become comparable to the Green Cauldron?" Chuan Ying frowned.
He knew the Immortal Emperor was powerful, but he always believed that he was still a step below the Emperor.
Even the Undying Heavenly Blade should fall behind the Green Cauldron.
Judging from its power, the Heavenly Blade is cleaving through the universe. Even ordinary supreme beings would find it difficult to match such divine power!
"Another immortal artifact?" Chuan Ying stroked the hard bow, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.
The others were also shocked. They had not expected that the Devouring Heaven Jar and the Undying Heavenly Blade, two supreme divine weapons, could display power comparable to ancient emperors and sovereigns!
Reflecting further on the true forms of the Undying Emperor and the Ruthless Great Emperor, could their cultivation levels have already reached the level of immortals?!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Could there really be such a thing as ascending to heaven?
Although the supreme beings of the forbidden zones have not yet been born, they have swept over a portion of their divine senses to keep a close watch.
Whether it was the Heavenly Blade or the Demon Jar, they both gave them a tremendous shock.
Of all the spectators, only Cao Ya seemed remarkably calm.
"These two beings are indeed the strongest in this universe, walking the path of immortality in the mortal world," Cao Ya thought to himself.
He suddenly sighed. Although he had Emperor-level combat power, his secret realm system was only at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor. He was not even the most outstanding Daoist. Even if he became an Emperor, he would still be far from the realm of Red Dust Immortal.
"Give me tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and I can really become an immortal?"
To be honest, Cao Ya didn't have much confidence.
If it were hundreds of millions of years, he would have plenty of confidence and be quite certain of success.
"Forget it, it would be best if I could become a celestial realm in the mortal world. If I can't, having the title of emperor and the power to dominate the world is still quite good."
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
"Anyway, my power is not limited to this one lineage."
Cao Ya, feeling more relaxed, focused on the battlefield, only to see the Empress strike. Her jade hands formed a hand seal, and celestial radiance surged forth, destroying the vast expanse of sword energy.
He didn't rush to make a move either; the full power of the magic jar was enough to rival it.
They were merely on guard, blocking the retreat of the Undying Heavenly Blade and the Undying Taoist.
Ye Fan, the woodcutter, and the others, because the imperial artifacts and weapons were dormant, could not interfere with the battle due to the power of those who had attained enlightenment.
Only Cao Ya and Chuan Ying are qualified to continue interfering.
"As expected of the Great Emperor who, after attaining enlightenment, suppressed the Imperial Fire Spirit and pacified the ancestral land of the Holy Spirit Royal Family!"
Everyone who witnessed the Empress's divine power was full of praise and admiration.
Boom!
!
The Empress was powerful. With a swift movement, she appeared ethereal and otherworldly, her immortal bearing transcendent. With one hand, she struck the Heavenly Blade, twisting it and nearly breaking it. With her other hand, she swept through the void, causing the Celestial Phoenix to cry out in agony, its wings broken as it fell to the ground.
As the Immortal Daoist chanted his incantation, the mark on the Ancient Phoenix Platform suddenly appeared completely.
"Buzz..."
At this moment, a majestic figure appeared on the Ancient Phoenix Platform. His face was still indistinct, but a sense of pride permeated the heavens and the earth, and his supreme imperial might spread, shaking all realms.
"The Immortal Emperor's Mark engraved on the Dao Platform!" Cao Ya stared intently, somewhat solemnly.
He knew all too well how terrifying the Immortal Emperor was; the Great Emperor Wushi had confronted him for thousands of years without any result.
As the place where that ancient emperor once cultivated and comprehended the Dao, the Ancient Phoenix Platform naturally has many divine remnants. Now, it has been activated and manifested by the remnant spirit of the Undying Daoist, and it is extremely terrifying, possessing the might of an emperor!
"Roar... I am the body of the Emperor's faith, I have received the Emperor's decree, I inherit the orthodoxy, the Emperor's imprint, quickly enter my body!" The Immortal Daoist's remnant god roared, like a raging torrent, terrifying to all. The illusory figure on the Ancient Phoenix Platform took a step forward and merged into the Immortal Daoist's remnant god's body.
"rumble!"
In an instant, the remnant spirit of the Undying Daoist returned to its peak state, and even surpassed ordinary supreme beings, almost comparable to the ancient emperors in their prime!
This scene was not unexpected. The Undying Daoist was originally of the Supreme level. Even though he was incomplete, his essence remained. Now, he had received the mark of the Undying Emperor and the laws that surpassed the Emperor's Way had taken over his body. The perfect fusion allowed him to recover in an instant and make further progress. It was even quite normal for him to leap forward and touch the Flawless Emperor Realm.
"Kacha~~"
Suddenly, a shattering sound came from the Ancient Phoenix Platform. After losing the Great Dao Imprint of the Undying Emperor, that ancient platform could no longer be maintained and exploded on the spot, scattering across the world.
But the Immortal Taoist no longer cared.
He was surrounded by imperial aura, and with the application of the Dao principles, large numbers of beings of various races appeared in all directions. They were all powerful and terrifying, with crazed expressions, roaring loudly, and charging towards the Empress.
"A race that worships the Immortal Emperor?" Cao Ya pondered.
He was considering whether to launch an attack to relieve some of the pressure on the Devouring Jar.
But the illusory figure of the empress remained calm and appeared effortless, which temporarily dissuaded him from this idea.
That ruthless emperor, renowned for his unparalleled talent throughout history, was not without reason.
"The Heaven-Devouring Jar!"
"The Undying Heavenly Blade roared angrily, and with a shake, boundless Arctic immortal light burst forth, which also transformed into billions of heroes who had been killed by the Heavenly Blade. They had a trace of their original Daoist charm and carried the Heavenly Blade's law. They danced together, boosting the blade's intent and piercing through the nine heavens!"
The path to the throne is fiercely contested, leaving countless corpses behind. Every master of the highest path ascends to the pinnacle by stepping over the remains of countless geniuses and heroes!
People who see it are both shocked and moved.
Besides the Undying Heavenly Blade and the Undying Daoist, the Immortal Phoenix also activated the energy contained within its essence blood, instantly repairing its injuries, regenerating its broken wings, soaring through space, flying and dancing, drawing one mysterious trajectory after another, like the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, carrying a deadly killing aura, and striking the Demon Jar heavily.
Bang bang bang!
!
!
In a single instant, tens of thousands of clashes occurred. The Empress remained silent, displaying only ruthless actions. She unleashed her self-created divine magic, its terrifying power of flight causing a shower of light to fall.
Suddenly, the phoenix cried out in anguish, having been blasted apart by the Empress. That drop of the Emperor's essence blood had completely exhausted its energy and could no longer be restored.
With a crisp "snap!", the Empress's jade finger struck down. The Immortal Phoenix tried its best to resist, but it was no match for the Empress and shattered on the spot, turning into a rain of light that drifted across the eight wastelands.
This scene was breathtaking, leaving countless cultivators speechless.
"I am about to evolve into a celestial weapon, and you are almost there too..." the Undying Heavenly Blade said coldly. He joined forces with the Undying Daoist and the Blood Essence Phoenix to launch several attacks, but to no avail. Instead, the Empress shattered the Phoenix, which was a great humiliation for the Heavenly Blade!
With a bang, the Heavenly Blade vanished, piercing through the void to attack the Empress, intending to stain her with blood and even shatter her likewise. Only in this way could it wash away the shame and establish its reputation as the number one divine weapon in the mortal realm!
Perhaps, after being bathed in the divine power of the shattered magic jar, the Heavenly Blade can leap to its fullest potential and become the strongest immortal weapon in history!
Upon thinking of this, the Undying Heavenly Blade's heart burned with fervor, and its killing intent grew ever colder, terrifying the mortal realm!
With a single palm strike, the Empress repelled the Undying Daoist. Then, with another counter-attack, she sent the Heavenly Blade flying. The blade, forged from five kinds of immortal metals, was almost shattered. It was forced to retreat tens of millions of miles to dissipate the power of the palm strike into the void before it was unharmed.
"Buzzing..."
The Undying Heavenly Blade shone brightly, connecting with the Undying Daoist. The two supreme beings went all out to fight against the Devouring Heaven Jar.
The Empress was ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy who did not eat the food of mortals, yet she possessed such terrifying divine arts with devastating destructive power. This contrast made millions of cultivators admire her.
Throughout history, most of the most powerful figures have been men, with fewer women. Apart from the Ruthless Great Emperor, only a very few, such as the Western Queen Mother and the Immortal Granny, have made a name for themselves.
The female emperors who stand out on the cruel path to becoming emperors and ultimately ascend to the throne, reigning supreme over the heavens, are all supreme beings of great power, whose magical abilities are unparalleled throughout history and the future.
Especially the ruthless Great Emperor who rose to power against all odds with his mortal body!
At this moment, all spirits bow down in submission!
"Whoosh~~"
Suddenly, the Empress's hands changed, making a gesture of holding a treasure bottle. A mysterious Great Dao treasure bottle appeared, and immediately a violent wave that could crush the void spread out.
The power of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle transcends the mortal world. The bottle's mouth is turned upside down and aimed at the Heavenly Blade. A terrifying beam of light bursts forth, causing the Heavenly Blade to tremble. Its five-colored immortal light dims instantly, and even cracks begin to appear, as if it has burst open!
People's scalps tingled. The terrifying power of the Heaven-Swallowing Jar was once again proven to be comparable to a great emperor of the present day!
The Undying Heavenly Blade escaped, and the profound meaning of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold was released, repairing its wounds, but its anger was hard to conceal.
As it turns out, Tianya Mingyue Dao is indeed no match for the Magic Jar!
Does this mean... even the Undying Emperor is no match for the Ruthless Great Emperor?
Many cultivators, and even supreme beings in forbidden zones, are pondering this.
"Too hasty. That's a formidable opponent. We should proceed steadily and slowly. Any impatience will only hinder the battle." The Immortal Daoist shook his head, stretched out his hand, and unleashed a massive charge, creating an opportunity for the Heavenly Blade.
"I am the Way of Heaven, and shall be unparalleled in the universe!" The Undying Heavenly Blade roared. This time, it did not charge forward to fight, but instead used the ancient secret technique of the Heavenly Emperor. Forbidden power erupted, supernatural abilities were strange, and the laws of the Dao were revealed. In the end, all of it was condensed on the tip of the blade. Through the vertical slash of the Heavenly Blade, it transformed into a magnificent celestial river, which fell towards the Empress.
People were shocked to see this; it was just a knife, yet it could perform all sorts of mysterious and secret techniques, just like an ancient emperor.
"Boom..."
The Empress's forehead glowed with countless auspicious rays, her celestial radiance piercing the Milky Way and shattering countless demons and gods.
Then, the Empress attacked, and with a slap of her jade hand, she broke the Undying Heavenly Blade in two, making it look quite tragic.
The Undying Heavenly Blade, hailed as the strongest weapon of the supreme god, was actually broken in the midst of a great battle, a result that shocked countless onlookers.
At the same time, the Empress's strength has once again given people a profound understanding.
It should be noted that the performance of the Undying Heavenly Blade is already extremely terrifying, surpassing ordinary ultimate divine weapons.
Even so, it was still no match for the Devouring Jar.
This was even with the help of the Immortal Taoist...
This shows just how ruthless that ruthless emperor must have been.
No wonder he is hailed as "the most talented person"!
"The Devouring Demon Jar is so powerful?" Upon seeing the Heavenly Blade break, the Old God, the Woodcutter, Princess Silkworm, Ji Zi, and others were all shocked.
Even Ye Fan and his group were taken aback.
They only thought that the Devouring Jar could defeat the Heavenly Blade, but they never expected the result to be so outstanding!
Cao Ya, who knew the details, was also amazed.
