Chapter 1120: Even a Great Saint is No Match

The Golden King's golden pupils contracted as he stared at Gai Jiuyou. A sense of unease filled him; he found the seemingly aged man, with his limited lifespan, inscrutable, which filled him with trepidation.

"Brother Gai," Great Saint Huntuo said with a faint smile, "your cultivation is comparable to that of legendary supreme beings. I am truly impressed; your achievements are earth-shattering. What a pity you were born in the wrong era."

Ye Fan and the old dean of Qishi Mansion felt uneasy. The Primordial Era was a flourishing age where myriad races coexisted. Now that they were emerging, perhaps there truly were "elders" who surpassed even Great Saints. These two Great Saints were likely not speaking idly. Was this an invisible deterrent? If an "elder" mentioned by the Great Saints were to appear, it would truly signal a dramatic shift.

Gai Jiuyou sighed and said, "I am old and useless now. I merely wish to meet the epochal figures of the ancient races. Would the two of you be able to introduce me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and the old Saint from Qishi Mansion felt a chill in their hearts. Could it be that the ancient races truly possessed such supreme beings? Had Gai Jiuyou sensed something?

Great Saint Huntuo remained silent, while the Golden King's expression was indifferent. Neither spoke immediately. The scene fell silent, and the atmosphere became heavy.

After a long silence, the Golden King spoke, "Gai Jiuyou, I admit you are very strong. However, given your current state, can you truly endure? I believe I can contend with you in battle."

"Have only two avatars come?" Gai Jiuyou asked casually.

Behind them, the Blue Demon Clan Lord's heart trembled. It was clear that the two ancient Great Saints were also extremely wary; their true forms had not descended, they had merely sent avatars to test the waters. Ye Fan opened his Celestial Eye. Previously, he had not been able to discern any difference, because these two avatars were also extremely powerful, not much weaker than their true forms.

The ancient city beneath the Blue Demon Abyss was grand and majestic. At its center, a towering ancient tree was rooted, shimmering with a blue crystal radiance, with ribbon-like mists swirling around it and spreading outwards. Great Saint Huntuo and the Golden King stood atop the city gate, blocking Gai Jiuyou. The two sides confronted each other, and with the Golden King's words, the atmosphere became incredibly tense.

"Is that so? Perhaps we can spar then," Gai Jiuyou said.

Many among the ancient races believed Gai Jiuyou's bloodline was exhausted; their oppression of humanity at times was not without an element of testing. Now that Gai Jiuyou had acted, it instantly overturned many people's perceptions. The Golden King was unsure. Two dazzling divine lights shot forth from his golden pupils, seeking to penetrate everything within the ailing old man.

"You have already killed ancient Saints from four royal races, Brother Gai, should you not cease now?" Great Saint Huntuo said. "If this continues, it will benefit no one. Enmities should be resolved, not deepened."

"For so many years, I have seen everything with my own eyes," Gai Jiuyou said indifferently. "The ancient races have repeatedly become increasingly egregious, intensifying their actions. Can you resolve this?"

"I believe such things will be difficult to happen in the future," Huntuo said. "The Path to Immortality is about to open, and all ancient Saints must prepare. I believe we will enter a period of peace."

"Once the Path to Immortality opens, the world will inevitably fall into chaos, with endless warfare," Gai Jiuyou said, shaking his head. "Even now, the ancient races cannot restrain themselves and remain peaceful. What will happen on that day is imaginable."

"Brother Gai, do you truly intend to go on a killing spree today and annihilate the ancient Saints of ten races?" Great Saint Huntuo asked in a deep voice.

"Precisely, not one less," Gai Jiuyou said. "These ten races have gone too far. This is no longer the Primordial Era, yet they still wish to consume human flesh and blood, to bellow insults, and to treat us as servants. Their actions are sufficient justification for their extermination."

"Brother Gai, I admit your magic power is unparalleled," Great Saint Huntuo said. "However, do not assume there is truly no one who can restrain you, even if you recover to your peak!"

Gai Jiuyou smiled, saying nothing this time.

The Golden King said coldly, "Gai Jiuyou, you are going too far. How can you understand the methods of an Ancient Emperor? As long as you have not attained Dao, you can never compare. Such a long time has passed; you have missed the age for attaining Dao and are now too old. It is utterly unrealistic to think you can suppress myriad races by yourself!"

"Speaking of these things is meaningless," Gai Jiuyou said. "Do the two of you intend to stop me?"

Great Saint Huntuo said, "Brother Gai, I solemnly remind you: in such a great era, it would not be a miracle for one or two unrivaled elders to truly appear."

"If a Quasi-Emperor were to appear, heh," the Golden King said coldly, "Gai Jiuyou, even if you recover to your peak state, you would most likely be unable to cope!"

Gai Jiuyou said no more. He stepped forward, and a towering aura surged forth. The Blue Demon Clan Lord in the city screamed, spewing blood from his mouth, filled with terror. He was just one step away from becoming a Great Saint, yet now he was as weak as an ant. Under this aura, he could shatter at any moment, his body and spirit turning to ash. One must remember, the opponent had not even truly made a move; it was merely an overwhelming, tyrannical aura that had swept over!

"Gai Jiuyou, you've gone too far! Do you truly intend to slaughter the ancient Saint of the Blue Demon race in front of us?" the Golden King roared, his expression livid. He manifested streaks of golden light to dissipate the overwhelming aura.

"Brother Gai, please show mercy!" Great Saint Huntuo also said, stepping forward.

"I cannot show mercy. All ten ancient Saints must be annihilated, not one less," Gai Jiuyou said resolutely. He continued to step forward, aiming to pass between the two Great Saints.

Divine might surged. The entire massive ancient city trembled. In the distance, the branches and leaves of the blue ancient tree swayed, rustling, and blue light shot into the sky. The atmosphere was tense to the extreme. Gai Jiuyou might be about to engage with the Great Saints. The experts of the Blue Demon race nearly stopped breathing, for this would determine their fate.

"I am here. I will not permit you to kill the ancient Saints of this race, especially him!" the Golden King said, pointing at the Blue Demon Clan Lord. The Blue Demon Clan Lord had the potential to become a Great Saint and was an extraordinary existence.

"Is that so? Then try to stop me," Gai Jiuyou said with a calm expression. "Today, he will be the first one I kill."

He continued to step forward. The Golden King's expression turned cold as he moved to block, but Gai Jiuyou moved as if an immortal, passing through with ease. His supreme Golden Great Dao traces were rendered ineffective, unable to stop him!

"Pfft!"

Gai Jiuyou acted with remarkable nonchalance. He pointed a finger, and a beam of light flew forth, shooting forward.

"Argh..."

The Blue Demon Clan Lord screamed. Powerful enough to pluck stars from the sky, yet at this moment, he couldn't move. He couldn't evade the brilliant finger beam; his forehead was instantly pierced, and he let out a shrill roar.

"Pfft."

Blood splattered, forming a rain of blood, most of which was blue. A peerless genius of his generation thus met an untimely end. All of this seemed incredibly simple. Gai Jiuyou appeared to exert no effort at all in annihilating the Blue Demon Clan Lord.

"Gai Jiuyou!" the Golden King roared, brilliant light shooting from his golden pupils.

"Don't be impulsive, you are not his match," Great Saint Huntuo said with a frown.

The Golden King said, "It's fine. It's just an avatar; what if I abandon it? I will test his true strength, to see if he is merely posturing."

Gai Jiuyou entered the city, flying directly towards the Blue Demon Ancient Tree. He intended to ascend to the clan's foremost sacred ground and slay the ancient Saint in seclusion.

"This is bad! Even the two Great Saints can't stop him," someone exclaimed. "What are we to do? If we had known this, we should have fled for our lives!"

There were two Ancestor Kings on the ancient tree, their magic power extraordinary. However, at this moment, their faces were ashen, utterly unable to muster any resistance against Gai Jiuyou.

"Gai Jiuyou, you are being overly aggressive!" the Golden King roared. "If you act against these two, you will regret it!"

"Are you threatening me?" Gai Jiuyou asked, turning back with a cold gaze. Then his large hand covered the ancient tree, grasping forward.

"Supreme Great Saints, please save us!" the two ancient Saints of the Blue Demon race screamed; they could not evade, as the area was sealed. The other clansmen trembled, collapsing to the ground, their eyes filled with terror. Recalling the Primordial Era, they consumed human flesh and blood, enslaving humanity in countless ways. They had never imagined that this race could produce a supreme-level figure. Yet now, their Ancestor Kings were being slaughtered like dogs.

Without a doubt, the two ancient Saints on the Blue Demon Tree turned into blood mist. Their souls shattered inch by inch, erased from existence.

"Gai Jiuyou!"

The Golden King was furious. He unleashed earth-shattering methods, charging forward to kill. The Golden Divine Treasury, a peerless divine art of the Ancient Emperor, was activated. Golden great bells, ancient divine pagodas, sharp golden divine swords, and great cauldrons, all gleaming with golden light, burst forth from a golden realm of weapons, flying towards Gai Jiuyou. A Great Saint's attack was enough to level this underground world!

However, facing such a furious and tyrannical attack, Gai Jiuyou did not do much. He merely flickered, evading the attacks of thousands of golden weapons, and appeared right before the Golden King.

"What?" Even Great Saint Huntuo was startled. It was too fast. Just now, he had once again felt faint traces of the supreme aura that the Fighting Saint Emperor had once exuded.

"Boom!"

Gai Jiuyou flipped his palm forward. The Golden Divine Treasury world collapsed, transforming into an energy storm powerful enough to destroy a significant portion of the Northern Region. Yet, with a sweep of the ailing old man's palm, all the brilliant light gathered into his palm, and this Great Saint force, capable of shattering ancient stars, was dissolved and annihilated between his fingers. Then he vibrated his right arm, chopping down towards the Golden King. Instantly, the Golden King screamed, and the golden light all over his body instantly dimmed.

"Brother Gai, please show mercy!" Great Saint Huntuo exclaimed.

Gai Jiuyou paid him no heed. His palm pressed down and vibrated again. The Golden King completely lost his radiance. He let out a long, pained howl, his golden hair flying, unable to contend with that rough hand.

"Bang!"

Gai Jiuyou's expression was indifferent as he took a step forward. His rough hand chopped down mercilessly. The sound of the Golden Great Dao traces being destroyed was deafening.

"Pfft!"

The Golden Great Saint screamed miserably, covered in blood. Then his body exploded, shattering into pieces, slaughtered here. Gai Jiuyou did not seem to expend much magic power; it appeared very calm. After three vibrations, the Golden Great Saint shattered into dozens, even hundreds, of pieces, transforming into a rain of light that vanished into the heavens and earth.

"Gai Jiuyou, I'm not done with you!"

In a pure land of the Northern Region, brilliant golden light shone, and a roar echoed throughout the mountains and land. This was the Golden Cave, the renowned sacred ground of the Primordial Imperial Race. The Golden Great Saint's true form opened its eyes in the ancient cave, two torch-like lights blazing from his golden pupils. He suddenly stood up and took out his clan's most precious treasure, the Golden Mace, an ultimate ancient imperial weapon. The next moment, he soared out of the Golden Cave, tearing through the void. He roared, "I don't believe you can defy the heavens! Let's see how you contend against an ancient imperial weapon!"

The sound waves were like thunder. They caused the mountains and wilderness to rumble. Many mountain ranges collapsed. The powerful figures of the Northern Region were horrified. The Golden Great Saint had truly gone mad!
