# Chapter 1719: The Demon Jar Appears in the World
The Azure Lotus took root in the universe, drawing upon the power of void to strengthen itself. It was even larger than towering ancient trees, its roots thick and sturdy like coiled flood dragons, vanishing into the starry sky.
It swelled violently, expanding through the cosmos as if splitting heaven and earth apart. Chaotic energy surged turbulently, and eventually, one star after another swirled around it, becoming mere ornaments.
In this place, emerald light blotted out the heavens. A single Azure Lotus had expanded through the universe, letting down countless strands of essence to guard this area. The Heavenly Blade was forced back, not launching an immediate attack.
One Star Gate after another had already been constructed. The great army departed in batches, retreating swiftly. This Heavenly Blade was far too terrifying—if they didn't leave soon, everyone might die here.
Just as the Firewood-Gathering Old Man had said, this Heavenly Blade was different from other Imperial Artifacts. It was connected to the divine and close to immortality, transcending all reason, possessing unparalleled offensive power.
"Hum—"
The Heavenly Blade trembled, its entire body gleaming white, illuminating ten thousand years of glory as it struck again, shaking heaven and earth.
Ye Fan let out a long roar. His thick, flowing hair stood on end as he offered up the Devouring Demon Jar to resist. With a *clang*, it collided with the Heavenly Blade, both weapons shuddering violently.
In the fierce clash, the Devouring Demon Jar remained as it always was—ancient and unadorned, with no particular change.
In contrast, the Immortal Heavenly Blade blazed even more brilliantly. Its divine light swelled so violently that distant star rivers shattered entirely, and the entire star field exploded, becoming cosmic dust.
This scene was like the end of the world, enough to drive one to despair!
How could they resist? What could they use to block it? This Heavenly Blade was too powerful—it truly represented the will of the Heavenly Dao, beyond compare.
Ye Fan retreated, traces of blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. This was caused by the shock of the Immortal Heavenly Blade's divine power. Even a physique as strong as his had been wounded.
*Chi!*
A flash of dazzling light passed by. The Heavenly Blade transformed to one *zhang* in length, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. It evaded the Devouring Jar and charged toward the Azure Lotus, still intent on intercepting and killing everyone, not letting the heroes escape.
"Boom!"
The Chaos Azure Lotus swayed, shaking out chaotic energy that filled the sky. The enormous fluctuations shocked the human realm, causing even sages far away at the cosmic borderlands to tremble, their hearts sensing something.
The Green Emperor's weapon had revived. Taking root here, it blocked the path ahead. The Immortal Heavenly Blade's strike had no effect—it couldn't break through and was kept outside.
All the leaves swayed. An azure sea and emerald sky materialized within the universe. This Azure Lotus possessed a vast life force. It seemed to have revived, gaining life, as if the Green Emperor had been reborn.
This strange and bizarre change stunned everyone. Indeed, this weapon was also extraordinary, holding secrets that outsiders could not understand.
Regardless, its defensive power was astonishing. It temporarily guarded this place, buying time for everyone's retreat. Star Gates flashed, and the great army departed swiftly.
The Heavenly Blade floated up and down, hovering not far away, confronting those here. It was seeking a flaw, wanting to charge in and begin a massacre!
The Azure Lotus swayed. Ten thousand leaves gave birth to clear radiance. Like a giant ancient tree, it actually emitted the sound of rustling pines, like an ocean of trees swaying in the wind.
Strands of azure light flew from the leaves, spreading toward the depths of the universe. Looking closely, they were rushing toward the direction where the Heavenly Emperor's General-Summoning Drum had taken the stone egg away. It was searching.
"What a fine Azure Lotus. You want to devour the essence of the Immortal Egg?!" A cold voice came from within the Immortal Heavenly Blade, carrying some ruthlessness and some anger.
The atmosphere at the scene grew tense. The two sides were at a standoff.
"Truly worthy of being a weapon forged from five types of Immortal Gold. Do you wish to rival the Emperor Venerable?!" the Old God sighed, his heart heavy with gravity. The enemy's strength exceeded imagination.
And what troubled him was not just this weapon, but the Immortal Emperor. If he still existed in this world, how could they resist? If the Emperor Venerable did not revive, who in the world could still fight him?
The entire world fell silent. The Heavenly Blade sought an opportunity to strike. It wanted to destroy everyone at minimal cost and didn't truly wish to fight to the death with the Green Emperor's weapon.
Ye Fan was accumulating his battle power. Blood rumbled and surged within his body. The Divine Seal state had not yet faded. At this moment, he once again activated the "All" Secret, and his body rumbled loudly.
Seas of blood qi boiled. His entire body was enveloped in multicolored light. Even the crown of his head steamed with waves of blood mist. Holy light blazed fiercely outside his body, and he became like a blazing deity.
The Firewood-Gathering Old Man stood atop the Green Emperor's Lotus, defending. The Old God blew his secret artifact—the Emperor Venerable's War Horn—to interfere with the Heavenly Blade. This was not a true Imperial Dao artifact, but it possessed strange and miraculous divine abilities.
Ye Fan took the offensive. The forehead bone before him bloomed with brilliant multicolored light!
Within the Divine Seal domain, his body instinctively broke through taboos, his strength greatly enhanced. And after activating the "All" Secret, he became ten times more powerful. His brow shone like a divine lamp illuminating ten thousand years of history.
A small golden figure stepped out from his forehead bone. It sat cross-legged in the starry sky, then moved its hands, sending forth strands of immortal light that entered the Devouring Demon Jar.
Ye Fan was using his primordial spirit to connect with the Demon Jar, sensing it with his heart, making it revive. He firmly believed this jar possessed unmatched power.
A bronze ring appeared in the hands of the small golden figure before his brow, blooming with brilliant immortal light. He softly called out: "Not to become an immortal..."
He did not speak the other half of the sentence—"but only to wait for your return in this mortal world."
These words were like a kind of curse. The Demon Jar hovering above his head trembled, releasing a vast life force, and then the heavens quaked.
The ring in the small golden figure's hands shimmered with luster. It was ordinary bronze; the reason it could shine like this was entirely due to divine power nourishing it, giving rise to millions of strands of radiance.
As the ring flew up, approaching the Demon Jar, this Imperial Artifact shook violently. The ghost-face imprint on it seemed to have teardrops rolling down, so lifelike it was shocking and awe-inspiring.
This ring was given to Ye Fan by Ji Ziyue before his departure, for him to use to save his life, because this artifact had a great connection with the Devouring Jar.
Back then, an immortal corpse had exploded in the Bronze Immortal Hall. This was the benefit the Ji Family had obtained at that time—a unique artifact contained within flesh and blood, a divine object that the Ruthless Great Emperor had treasured during her lifetime.
"Ding—"
When the ring fell into the jar, producing a clear, crisp sound, the Devouring Jar fully revived. It swallowed sun, moon, stars, and rivers. The starlight radiance from the depths of the universe all converged, pouring into the jar.
"Hum!"
The Immortal Heavenly Blade's light blazed intensely. It sensed what was coming and struck first, transforming into a streak of blazing light, cleaving downward to destroy the Devouring Demon Jar.
Blade light shot to the heavens, severing the universe, blocking all starlight. It became the one and only thing, falling straight down, turning into a vast divine waterfall.
The Devouring Demon Jar shook, as if a person were about to revive, shaking the myriad heavens throughout the ages. Many powerful beings across the universe all felt a strange resonance and perception.
It erupted with a heaven-shaking battle aura. This sharpness was absolutely not inferior to the Heavenly Blade's edge. Thousands upon thousands of Dao runes shot toward the high heavens.
With a *boom*, the two Imperial Artifacts collided violently. This time was even more intense. The aura of primal chaos swept through this place, turning it into a boiling ocean.
Ye Fan retreated, standing on the giant Azure Lotus. By now, he didn't need to urge it anymore. The Devouring Jar had appeared in the world in a state beyond reason, truly revived, meeting the Immortal Heavenly Blade in battle.
These two were weapons that could not be judged by ordinary principles, unfathomable.
At this moment, heaven and earth split apart. This was a fierce battle between two revived weapons. Only then did the heroes guarded by the Chaos Azure Lotus breathe a sigh of relief—they had finally blocked the Heavenly Blade.
The Ruthless Great Emperor's talent was unmatched, the most brilliant since ancient times. This was indeed not just empty talk. Rising from a physique inferior to an ordinary mortal body to defying the heavens, she had now revealed a corner of her legend.
The Heavenly Blade was like a rainbow, slashing continuously. It crisscrossed through the sky, lightning erupting. The rain of light that fell was terrifying—each strand could destroy an entire star system.
But there was nothing left to destroy here. Most of the stars had already become dust.
"Hum—"
The Devouring Demon Jar shook. Its lid flew up, blooming with auspicious colors. Ripples of primordial spirit spread outward, while the jar's body was like a bottomless pit, devouring the essence of the eight directions.
Finally, a stream of immortal light flew out from the jar's mouth, transforming into chains that wound toward the Immortal Heavenly Blade, trying to pull it into the jar, completely suppressing and refining it.
Everyone's hearts pounded violently. This Devouring Jar was too domineering—it directly wanted to swallow the Heavenly Blade. What unparalleled boldness!
"Clang," "clang"...
The Heavenly Blade shook, cleaving apart strands of immortal light, evading this devouring force. Then, like a bolt of silk, it charged sideways, slashing toward the jar's body. Blade light shimmered, and cold air froze the universe.
Killing intent spread. Even some distant stars deep in the cosmic sea dimmed, shattered by its impact, their essence scattered.
The light the Heavenly Blade struck out was like hanging star rivers—vast and terrifying. It churned the universe, tearing apart the darkness, shattering the cold cosmos.
The Devouring Demon Jar clanged loudly, blooming with strings of sparks. It was indestructible and eternal, suffering no damage from the impacts and slashes, withstanding the Heavenly Blade's power.
Everyone was very tense. After all, the Heavenly Blade was forged from five types of Immortal Gold, fused into one, said to be able to reach the heavens and become an Immortal Artifact. People feared the Devouring Jar might be cut open.
The Heavenly Blade grew faster and faster, transforming into a streak of blazing lightning, dancing around the Devouring Jar. As long as it caught the right opportunity, it would swiftly slash down, killing intent flooding the heavens.
Everyone's heart was in their throat. But Ye Fan relaxed, because the small golden figure sitting before his brow sensed a nearly inaudible sigh.
That voice was very ethereal, very illusory, like heavenly music, as if coming from the Immortal Domain beyond.
The Devouring Demon Jar was sublimating, undergoing further transformation!
When the Heavenly Blade grew increasingly blazing, its edge sharp, its blade qi like an ocean, it truly became nearly invincible under heaven, transcending reason, like an ancient emperor striking, growing ever more powerful.
And at this moment, the Devouring Demon Jar was very peaceful, gradually becoming blurry, almost invisible, losing the shape of a jar.
"That is... heavens!"
After a moment, many people cried out in alarm, all revealing looks of disbelief, shocked beyond measure.
Even Ye Fan's blood surged. His face was filled with shock, unable to speak.
The tangible jar body grew increasingly blurry, slowly disappearing, eventually transforming into a faint female figure. She gradually became clear, standing beneath the eternal starry sky, looking down upon the mortal world with pride.
"The Ruthless Great Emperor!"
"The most talented woman since ancient times!"
Everyone cried out in alarm, hardly daring to believe all this.
There was a legend in the world that the Devouring Jar was forged from the Ruthless Great Emperor's first life. When later generations offered sacrifices to it, reaching certain conditions, she would once again descend upon the world.
Today, people witnessed this miracle. She had truly reappeared!
