**Chapter 1122: The Immortal Melody of Transcending Tribulation**
The immense power of ancient imperial weapons is beyond doubt. If truly awakened, a single strike could cause the Northern Region to collapse and fell stars.
However, a startling change occurred at this moment. The Golden Copper chimed and vibrated, uncontrollably attacking the Myriad Dragon Bell. Billions of golden rays, an immortal glow, shone dazzlingly.
The Purple-Gold Dragon Bell, equally sharp, shattered the void with its vibrations, breaking free and rushing towards the Golden Cave's foremost treasure.
Both sides were terrified. If these were to collide, it would be a catastrophe, potentially leveling the entire Northern Region. They didn't understand why this was happening; it was too sudden.
"Ah!" The Golden King cried out, spitting a mouthful of golden vital essence blood onto the Ancient Imperial Copper, hoping to immediately awaken the divine mechanism within and stop the assault.
Great Sage Qianlun also let out a low roar, as streaks of purple light emanated. His innate origin within surged madly, shaking towards the Myriad Dragon Bell to block the trembling of its purple-gold brilliance.
"Om!" The two extreme ancient imperial weapons hummed, growing even more brilliant, breaking free from their restraints, and disappearing into the clouds, ready to unleash their strongest attack!
"No!" The Golden King was terrified. This was a reckless collision, seemingly destined to end only when one of the ancient imperial weapons was shattered.
The two Great Sages immersed their powerful divine consciousness into the ancient imperial weapons, burning their spirit soul divine flames, desperately trying to stop them and awaken the weapon spirits within the divine artifacts.
"Clink!" The Golden Copper and the Myriad Dragon Bell lightly touched, not truly delivering a devastating blow. Yet, even this was catastrophic. The vast sky became a shattered realm; not only did smoke and clouds disperse, but even chaotic qi was released, as if the universe was being created.
If it hadn't happened in the firmament, even a light touch from the two weapons would have caused a large portion of the Northern Region to sink. Numerous beings were terrified, not knowing what had happened, and collapsed to the ground.
When the extreme Dao mist and lightning dissipated and the great Dao rules returned to tranquility, the Golden King coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. Each mouthful was golden—his vital imperial blood, incredibly precious.
The Great Sage from the Myriad Dragon Nest also suffered a backlash; his body's surface cracked, and it took a long time for him to calm down. His expression was grim as he stared at Gai Jiuyou.
The Human Sovereign had acted, and everything came so suddenly that they couldn't even prepare for it. Even the extreme ancient imperial weapons had temporarily gone out of control, a terrifying thought.
Both men's faces turned ashen. They firmly gripped the extreme ancient imperial weapons they had recalled, immersing their entire minds into them, fearing another mishap.
"Gai Jiuyou, you are truly something!" The Golden King's face was as grim as still water, his voice like a night owl. Within his golden pupils, suns and moons rose and fell, starlit rivers shone brightly, and mountains and rivers were forged, displaying boundless terror.
Gai Jiuyou was calm. He murmured to himself, "As expected of ancient imperial weapons, they are truly terrifying. It seems I truly am old; I could only let them touch lightly."
Great Sage Qianlun and the others were greatly shocked. This human expert proved extremely difficult to handle; he couldn't be judged by common sense. According to their information, his bloodline should have been depleted long ago, preventing him from engaging in a true large-scale battle.
At the edge of the sky, some imperial and royal clan elders frowned deeply. They felt uneasy observing the battle here. Gai Jiuyou could even seize control of ancient imperial weapons; if anyone else stepped forward, wouldn't they instantly face defeat?
"The Soldier Character Secret!" said Great Sage Huntuo. Light flowed in his pupils, intertwined with Great Dao traces, inspiring awe. His expression was complex, seemingly envious yet also wary.
The Golden King let out a cold snort and said, "Even if he has the Soldier Character Secret, what of it? He might surprise and interfere once or twice, but can he really receive an ancient imperial weapon with his bare hands?"
Purple qi surged within Great Sage Qianlun, overflowing from his pores. This was innate purple essence, his vital divine splendor, which he injected into the Myriad Dragon Bell, about to unleash a decisive strike.
"Let's go to outer space. I will experience your imperial weapons there!" Gai Jiuyou said.
A flash of light appeared and vanished, and the three of them disappeared from where they stood. They truly couldn't unleash their full power in this place, as every move might sink the earth, leading to countless lives being devastated and bones piling up.
"This is unsettling," Great Sage Huntuo said, reminding the two Primordial Great Sages wielding imperial weapons.
"Hmph, a blood-depleted old man. Let's see how long he can last," the Golden King sneered. "Just now, I clearly felt the decline of his withered body. No need to worry!"
Great Sage Qianlun said, "That's right, I noticed it too. His blood qi is insufficient, and his body is nearly aged, making it difficult to mobilize the vital energy of his peak. Now, he's merely forcing himself to gather it for a reluctant battle."
"Be a bit careful!" an old imperial clan elder said with a frown from afar.
"No matter. This old man might truly be on the verge of falling," another person said. "He must have realized his lifespan is limited, so he wants to use his remaining life to suppress us!"
Several streaks of light shot towards outer space, vanishing in the blink of an eye. This made all the clan leaders and others watching from afar anxious. They quickly set up array patterns and opened ancient array "eyes" to observe the battle beyond the domain.
In outer space, it was deathly silent. Ye Fan and the old sage stood in the distance, watching the center of the battlefield, where two Great Sages stood, resisting Gai Jiuyou.
On the other side, several ancient clan elders also patrolled the perimeter, observing closely.
Outer space was a desolate, silent place where various shattered weapons floated, along with skeletons of different races, some suspected to be from the legendary divine race.
Furthermore, beside several mountain-sized corpses, Ye Fan discovered a shattered, silver-grey flying saucer, as if it had been punched through and was beyond recognition.
"Brother Gai, are you truly unwilling to take a step back?" asked Great Sage Huntuo, the Great Sage who often appeared as a mediator, frowning.
"Gai Jiuyou, you've killed many ancient sages. Are you really going to eradicate the sages of the ten great royal clans? Could you perhaps stop here?" said another very cautious imperial clan elder.
"Not one less," Gai Jiuyou said very solemnly. "These ten fierce clans have killed many humans, and now they are growing increasingly rampant, brazenly slaughtering at the Qishi Mansion. They must be destroyed!"
"What's the point of saying all this?" The Golden King, holding the divine copper like a deity, his gaze cold and ruthless, feeling some dissatisfaction with Huntuo and the others, took the initiative to attack, moving forward.
This was extreme Dao divine might. Even smaller stars in outer space trembled, and the entire starfield was filled with an unsettling aura, as if it would destroy the world.
At the same time, the Great Sage from the Myriad Dragon Nest also attacked. The bell rang loudly, purple light engulfed the starfield, and ancient imperial Great Dao traces intertwined, strangling Gai Jiuyou.
At this moment, Gai Jiuyou suddenly disappeared, and both men struck empty air. However, they were fearless, for with ancient imperial weapons in hand, they could sweep across the world.
Silently, Gai Jiuyou appeared in the distance, silently watching them, his hands slowly moving...
"Whoosh!" A divine light flew out, as if severing eternity, streaking across the boundless cosmos and reaching the two Great Sages in the blink of an eye, intending to engulf them.
"What?! So powerful!" Several imperial clan elders paled in shock, all filled with dread. This power was absolutely beyond their ability to resist; perhaps a single strike would take their lives.
"Ding-a-ling!" The Myriad Dragon Bell shook, its sound deafening. Ripples of purple light, like bell waves, surged forward, immeasurably terrifying.
"Puff!" In the distance, asteroids exploded, turning into dust under the spreading ripples of the bell sound, like a magnificent fireworks display.
In the outer space battlefield, the few observers had already hidden themselves in endless space-time, all turning pale. Such methods were too terrifying; even ancient sages couldn't withstand them and would turn into dust under the extreme ancient imperial might.
Meanwhile, those in the Northern Region who witnessed this scene through ancient array "eyes" couldn't help but feel a chill, as a reverence, as if for a deity, rose in their hearts.
Gai Jiuyou silently retreated a hundred thousand miles. Asteroids behind him shattered, yet he remained standing in front, his form unharmed. A faint divine sound emanated, transforming into Dao waves that resounded across the outer space battlefield.
The divine sound actually dispersed the waves emitted by the Myriad Dragon Bell, continuously pushing forward, even forcing itself closer to the two Great Sages.
"What?! Is he truly going to use his own body to resist an ancient imperial weapon and block the divine bell sound?!"
The elders of the ancient imperial clans were all shocked!
"Boom!" The Golden Great Sage attacked. The extreme ancient imperial weapon was fiercely powerful, and a dazzling light swept forth. The Golden Copper vertically cleaved the universe, striking towards Gai Jiuyou.
This was an eternal immortal light, destroying everything in its path with overwhelming force. It seemed to want to destroy the entire star sea, reconstruct a new order, and open up a brand new world.
An ocean-like ancient imperial power engulfed the area, causing this region to completely collapse, turning into a black hole where chaotic qi emerged.
However, when everything settled down, Gai Jiuyou had still only retreated a hundred thousand miles, his physical body unharmed, like an ancient, simple divine statue.
Behind him, a cluster of asteroids shattered, turning into cosmic dust and disappearing forever.
The faint divine sound contained the Great Dao, unlike the Dao of others. It swept forth, actively attacking the extreme ancient imperial weapon, causing the Golden Copper's ocean-like radiance to roll back, continuously retreating, shaking open the heavens and earth.
"What kind of immortal sound is this? It actually possesses such power? Can it truly contend with an ancient imperial weapon?"
"So powerful, so terrifying! This is Gai Jiuyou's Dao; it can be called an ancient scripture, capable of shaking the divine might of an ancient emperor!"
People were horrified, especially the elders of the ancient imperial clans, who were all wide-eyed, staring at the Dao traces and listening to the divine sound of the Great Dao.
The Immortal Calamity Crossing Melody!
Ye Fan knew it must be this melody. Back then, when he fought against the arrogant little girl Xia Jiuyou, he had experienced a prelude to it.
"His body is withered, and his power is insufficient," the Golden King roared. "Even if his Dao attainment reaches the heavens and he has created divine arts comparable to ancient imperial scriptures, it's useless. He is no longer at his peak. Let's kill him!"
Great Sage Qianlun nodded, activating the Purple-Gold Myriad Dragon Bell, unleashing unparalleled imperial might that swept across the cosmos. He battled Gai Jiuyou, aiming to exhaust and kill the Human Sovereign.
The Golden Copper and Myriad Dragon Bell each emitted auspicious light, with immortal radiance. One released billions of golden rays, the other billions of purple qi streaks. This part of the cosmos seemed to boil, surging downwards.
Gai Jiuyou's expression remained unchanged. He played nothing, and there was no instrument before him, yet his body glowed, strand by strand transforming into an immortal melody that emanated outwards and rushed towards the two ancient imperial weapons.
The Immortal Calamity Crossing Melody!
This was the Dao he had pioneered, comprehending the world's origin, playing the divine sound of the Great Dao, listening to the secrets of immortals, and crossing tribulation in this mortal world.
Who among mortals isn't striving to cross over? Life has myriad forms, and the mortal world has countless aspects. All living beings, as long as they have sentience, are striving. Whether struggling or sinking, all are considered to be striving to cross over and pass tribulations in this world.
For humans, simply being alive is crossing a tribulation.
Gai Jiuyou's creation of the Immortal Calamity Crossing Melody can be called world-shaking, unmatched through the ages. It is almost comparable to the scriptures of ancient Great Emperors. He forged his own path to enlightenment, but regrettably was born in the wrong era.
Humans are crossing, the mundane world is crossing, immortals are crossing. All things in heaven and earth, every blade of grass and tree, are also crossing. As soon as the Immortal Calamity Crossing Melody emerged, vast stretches of Dao traces surged and spread into the distance, confronting the two ancient imperial weapons with overwhelming force, actually pushing forward continuously!
