Chapter 1202: Heritage

“I think you, this inhuman, ghost-like old dog, should just commit suicide!” Longma blurted out crude words to the Assassin Saint who clearly disdained them.

The Big Black Dog didn't like what he heard. He glared angrily and retorted, “Nonsense! He's not even worth a dog's fart!”

“Exactly! He's bragging shamelessly, wanting us to commit suicide. Is the old geezer still asleep? Go die yourself!” Longma yelled.

Facing these two crude characters, even gods would twitch their cheeks. What insulting words wouldn't they dare to say?

A beam of killing light swept forth, cutting through thousands of troops, enveloping both the Big Black Dog and Longma. The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World, his face grim, made his move. The Monkey acted, his dark iron staff actually colliding with the saint, emitting a brilliant glow. Although he was forced back, he was not without a fighting chance.

It must be remembered that this was an Assassin Saint, with boundless magic power, specialized in killing saints, and had established a formidable reputation! The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World's attack failed to connect. He instantly vanished from his spot, merging into the void, while boundless killing intent shook the surroundings.

“Pfft!”

Longma instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. The Big Black Dog also jolted, standing upright, retreating on his two hind legs using the "Line" character secret.

“I gave you a chance to commit suicide. If you don't take it, then I'll send each of you on your way!” the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World said coldly.

He maintained his superior posture, looking down on everyone, treating them like ants, not seeing them as opponents, and intending to eliminate them with a mere raise of his hand.

“Old executioner, your doomsday has arrived!” Ye Fan's body ignited, transforming into an indestructible golden physique, and he charged forward. He saw through the void; his Six Paths Reincarnation Fist intent was invincible, crushing everything!

In the heavens and earth, golden lightning bolts seemed to dance. Ye Fan exchanged several powerful blows with the Assassin Saint, emitting dazzling light.

“Your strength is considerable, capable of clashing with me. I believe you are all outstanding individuals, truly exceptional geniuses rarely seen through the ages, but what does that matter?” The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World sneered in the shadows, saying, “You were born five hundred years too late. I won't give you the chance to grow. Today, I intend to crush geniuses, to carry out this extermination, and let you die in your cradles!”

“You old geezer, you talk too much! Take this staff!” the Saint Prince roared, shaking the earth and mountains. His black divine iron swept across the universe, crushing the chaotic immortal soil, striking towards the Assassin Saint.

“Whoosh!”

A beam of killing light struck, brushing past the black iron staff and leaving a splash of blood on the Monkey's shoulder.

Ji Zi also made his move. Without a word, his body merged into the void, unleashing a Great Severing Slash that created an explosion-like sound, forcefully dragging the Assassin Saint out of the void.

However, an Assassin Saint was still an Assassin Saint, specialized in killing other saints. Ji Zi was struck by a sword light, and blood flowed from half of his body.

Ye Fan charged, displaying all his wondrous techniques. His fists roared with wind and thunder, unleashing golden lightning bolts, like the fists of a lightning god, evolving the true meaning of the Six Paths.

His fists were covered in bloodstains, but he didn't care. He remained fiercely entangled, battling the old Assassin Saint.

“This old geezer is truly troublesome. No wonder he's rumored to be an existence born specifically to kill saints. Let's all go at him and fight him to the death!” the Big Black Dog cried out.

As he roared, the vertical eye on his forehead shot out dark beams of light that could penetrate saintly defenses, posing a serious threat to the old Assassin Saint.

“Damn it... Could this old guy have advanced to become a Saint King?” Longma thought of something terrifying.

“Impossible! Let's all go and finish him off!” Dongfang Ye roared, charging forward in his ancient saint mecha.

They knew that Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Saint Prince still had ample reserves, as they had not yet truly undergone their tribulations. Their full strength would only be truly realized when they received the recognition of heaven and earth, allowing for a decisive battle!

“Kill him, wear him down!” Li Tian shrieked, bringing his ancient saint battle array tool forward. He held a purple spearhead in both hands, piercing through the void and aiming at the visible Assassin Saint's back.

“Bang!”

A cold, merciless smile appeared at the corner of the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World's mouth. He enveloped everyone in his killing light, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

Finally, Yan Yixi, Old Blade Handle, and Yao Yuekong also charged forward in their ancient saint mechas. A group of them battled this terrifying Assassin Saint.

Such was the power of an Assassin Saint. Even with their combined efforts, they couldn't defeat him in a short time. The opponent's combat experience was simply too vast and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Qi Luo and the Assassin Saint of Hell were also locked in a fierce, white-hot battle, appearing and disappearing in the heavens and earth. They fiercely clashed with their terrifying sacred artifacts; this was a collision of divine principles, a bombardment of the Great Dao, accompanied by the thunder of the Heavenly Dao.

“All of you will die!” The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World declared as he dueled with the heroes, shifting left and right, making him impossible to guard against.

Ye Fan felt an alarm in his heart and secretly transmitted a message: “Be careful, he's holding us back. Perhaps a third Assassin Saint will appear!”

He suspected the old Assassin Saint was exploiting their youthful vigor and competitive spirit to tie everyone down, creating an opportunity for a third Assassin Saint to assassinate them.

“Pfft!”

The terrible premonition came true. A third saint actually appeared from the two divine dynasties. Qi Luo almost met his end, having suffered an assassination attempt.

That sword strike was like a startling immortal from beyond the domain, sharp and terrifying, brilliant and dazzling. It pierced into Qi Luo's body cavity from his shoulder, just narrowly missing his skull.

“Pfft!”

Longma was almost cleaved into two, his blood gushing out. After severely injuring Qi Luo, this Assassin Saint swept towards their group, tearing apart Li Tian's mecha as well.

Had the foundations of the Mortal World and Hell not been lost? Everyone's hearts sank!

“Those who attack my divine dynasty shall all die!” The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World laughed cruelly.

“Everyone, retreat!” Ye Fan secretly transmitted.

At the same time, the third Assassin Saint appeared, startling everyone. It was a snow-white skeleton, holding a killing sword that radiated dazzling light.

“This is a puppet Assassin Saint pieced together from the dao bones of your ancestors... A divine flame was born within its skull...”

A chill ran through everyone's hearts. This was a formidable existence, equivalent to an Assassin Saint, carrying the killing intent and will of an ancient divine dynasty.

Dongfang Ye, Yan Yixi, Longma, the Black Emperor, and others decisively retreated. They knew what Ye Fan and the Saint Prince intended to do; weren't they just waiting for this moment?

Qi Luo and the Assassin Saint of Hell were locked in a life-and-death battle, a deadlock where each had paid a heavy price.

Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Saint Prince, their expressions cold, surged forward together, surrounding the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World and the white skeleton, instantly erupting with dazzling light.

They chose to undergo their tribulations simultaneously, initiating it within this Chaotic Immortal Land. Few in the world could control their heavenly tribulation; most underwent it passively.

Yet now, all three Emperor-level figures had collectively summoned the heavenly punishment, like a mythical event, causing both allies and enemies to blanch and feel a chill in their hearts.

Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Saint Prince lunged, cornering the two Assassin Saints in the middle and attacking furiously, forcing them to undergo the tribulation as well.

This was a great catastrophe. Boundless lightning descended, violently bombarding the area, which was instantly submerged in a sea of electricity, from which the roars of the Assassin Saints could be heard.

The Assassin Saint currently battling Qi Luo turned ashen. With such a heavenly tribulation descending, he felt his old partner and the Bone Saint were surely doomed.

The vast heavenly tribulation descended from the sky, excessively brutal. It wasn't just individual lightning bolts but an entire ocean of them, radiating scorching and dazzling power.

“Ah...”

Many assassins screamed, turning to ash. They had been lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment, but now they became mere dust of the tribulation.

The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World and the white skeleton roared, attempting to break out, but Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Saint Prince locked onto them, following them like shadows, forcing them to endure the tribulation together.

This was a killing tribulation. Both Assassin Saints were struck until their skin split and their flesh was torn, suffering immensely and roaring continuously in agony.

The heavens and earth boiled. As soon as the lightning tribulation appeared, it riddled the area with holes, on the verge of collapse.

People were astonished to discover that many killing formations and dao marks surrounding them had now lit up, resisting the tribulation light. All of them were at the saint level.

These terrifying magic formations, originally prepared to bury Qi Luo and Ye Fan, now became a sacred power resisting the heavenly tribulation.

“Old geezer, let me send you on your way!” The Saint Prince, majestic within the heavenly tribulation, struck the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World with his great staff.

Ji Zi was equally direct. His void techniques were limitless. Combining them with the heavenly tribulation, he engulfed the white skeleton, causing it to suffer continuous heavy blows.

Behind Ye Fan, five treasured swords rotated downwards. Five-colored divine light shot into the sky, bringing with it torrents of lightning, striking the ancient saint of the Mortal World.

Amidst the dazzling light, the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World was in a terrible state, disheveled and wild-haired, resembling a malevolent ghost, his eyes bloodshot.

He endured the attacks of the three masters and was continuously struck by lightning. His bones were exposed, and his great killing techniques were useless in the lightning. This was the judgment of heaven and earth, requiring absolute strength to resist.

In the distance, the people of the various sacred lands felt their hair stand on end. The battle's escalation to this point filled them with lingering fear; if they were drawn in, they would surely die.

Everyone kept their distance, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. This time, due to the ancestors' withered bones being hidden here, various sects had deployed some forces.

However, very few truly used their full heritage; most were merely going through the motions. In the current grand environment, preserving strength was the best choice.

The Great Evolution Holy Land had been more earnest, but unfortunately, their saint-level puppets were all destroyed by the Assassin Divine Dynasty, suffering heavy losses.

“Juniors, do you truly believe that you can annihilate two divine dynasties like this? You are terribly naive! All of you who dared to trespass will die!”

Within that sea of thunder, the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World's body was splitting apart, flesh and blood splattering, howling like a vengeful ghost.

Similarly, within the thunder, Ye Fan and the others were also not having an easy time, with blood occasionally splattering. No one could easily pass a saint-level tribulation; otherwise, it wouldn't be a heavenly tribulation.

“Old man, your death day has arrived!” Ye Fan charged forward. His physical body was incredibly tough, an indestructible golden physique. Although injured, his core essence remained unharmed.

Ye Fan, the Saint Prince, and Ji Zi attacked together, primarily targeting this Assassin Saint, causing him to suffer the most terrifying tribulation punishment, intensified threefold, and his body was shattered multiple times.

At the same time, the other skeleton was even more terrified. It was born from inanimate matter, and now facing such pure Yang electric light, it trembled with fear, the divine flame in its skull constantly on the verge of being extinguished.

“Fellow Daoists, please come forth! Let us kill the enemy together, annihilate all intruders, and achieve the grand undertaking...” The Assassin Saint of the Mortal World secretly transmitted a message; he truly couldn't hold on any longer.

Several terrifying auras surged forth, threatening to tear apart heaven and earth. There were still more Assassin Saints!

“The hidden foundations of the Mortal World and Hell have been preserved, all right here!” Everyone's expressions changed, their hearts trembling.

“Please, seniors, make your move!” Ye Fan's eyes flickered with light.

Wei Yi, the First Great Bandit of the Northern Region, the old saint of the Qishi Mansion, and the saints of the Ji Family all appeared, poised to destroy the last divine dynasty.

“I wasn't afraid you wouldn't appear, only that you wouldn't come. I've been waiting!” the Assassin Saint of the Mortal World roared sinisterly from within the lightning tribulation.
