Chapter 1202: 夺帝兵

"Is that so? What does it matter if you have hidden power? You will all still die!" Ye Fan retorted sharply.

"Haha..." The Killer Saint from the Mortal Realm, despite his disheveled hair and exposed bone fragments, still laughed chillingly, exuding a frigid aura. "You have a death wish!"

In the distance, a mighty saintly aura emanated as several elderly Saints appeared. They remained silent, staring at the ancient bone palace.

"Let everyone die; there's no need for anyone to survive." A majestic voice echoed from within the bone palace, unleashing a murderous intent that surged like an ocean.

This being had undoubtedly emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, killing constantly, day in and day out, year after year, to reach this level.

An old man walked silently into view, his body gaunt and bony, his hair long gone, eyes sunken, and flesh shriveled, almost devoid of life.

A Saint King!

This was a terrifying existence who had attained the Saint King realm through a path of slaughter. No one had expected such an ancient assassin to reappear.

He belonged to the Mortal Realm, having emerged just a few days ago after slumbering in a divine source for over a hundred thousand years, surviving until this era.

A wave of dark energy stirred, and beside him appeared another figure in black, gaunt and emaciated. Though not a Saint King, he was also a Killer Saint.

The two great ancient divine dynasties were fortunate enough to have accidentally unearthed some of their hidden heritage in a secret location. Now, they were stationed here, making the place impenetrable.

Behind them, several more fierce auras emerged. They were three members of the ancient race who had allied with the ancient Killer Dynasty.

This was truly unexpected. This was originally a vital stronghold of the ancient divine dynasty, so how had three members of the ancient race arrived?

The Black Emperor was astonished, for it discovered a shimmering altar amidst the bone structures, indicating that the three Ancestral Kings had been summoned.

The Killer Dynasty had secret dealings with certain ancient races. The three individuals seemed to be visiting for the first time, their eyes flickering as they looked around.

Ye Fan was fearless. "Do you think reappearing with two Killer Saints and three Ancestral Kings will save you from destruction? Don't forget who has come to besiege you today!"

"Heh, we'll see who the prey is soon enough," the Killer Saint from the Mortal Realm said, struggling and roaring amidst the heavenly tribulation.

Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Saint Prince acted together. They charged forward, leveraging the heavenly tribulation and dragging the two "tribulation-responders" with them, confronting the newly appeared ancient Saints.

"Kill!"

A chilling aura emanated as the Killer Saint King opposite them let out a low roar. A bone-piercing cold permeated the Chaotic Divine Land.

Simultaneously, countless divine lights surged forth from the bone palace behind him, cutting off the path of several individuals.

"The previous killing array was just a prelude; let the ancient grand array, capable of annihilating all things, truly revive!" A piercing voice rang out.

"Boom!"

Tremendous energy fluctuations erupted, surging in their direction, with billions of light beams.

While Ye Fan, the Monkey King, and Ji Zi resisted the heavenly tribulation, they also felt a shiver. The boundless killing tribulation, had the sea of thunder not descended, would have struck them first.

This was a vast ancient array. The entire dried-up Chaotic Immortal Land was etched with array patterns, encircling everyone within it, leaving no escape.

The Killer Saint King vanished instantly, launching a terrifying assassination attempt and charging towards the distant Saints.

The ancient divine dynasty intended to seal off this place, trapping everyone and slaughtering the invading Saints.

With a violent tremor, the Killer Saint King exchanged a blow with the old master of the Qishi Manor. The assassination failed, but it cast a shadow of unease over the hearts of the people from the various Holy Lands.

The two great divine dynasties acted without fear!

"Ancient divine will, fully revive! Crush all invaders! Destroy all life!" a Killer Saint roared.

The aura of the grand array grew even more terrifying. The dried-up Chaotic Immortal Land, once a retreat for ancient deities, bore terrifying remnants of incomplete spell formations.

The area immediately erupted with ten thousand feet of light, plunging into chaos. Spiritual energy enveloped everyone, intending to completely refine them.

"Killing Array, strike!" the Black Emperor roared.

"You will all die!" the Killer Saint King said chillingly, activating the array, attempting to cleave open the heavenly tribulation and rescue the two individuals.

"Once you enter, there's no way out. You come in too!" Ye Fan barked lightly, charging forward with the Saint Prince and Ji Zi.

"Kill them!"

Divine patterns emerged within the dried-up Chaotic Divine Land. Even incomplete, the ancient array was incredibly powerful, crushing everything around it. Without the protection of a Saint Weapon, survival was impossible.

The Divine Maiden Furnace floated, protecting Li Tian, Dongfang Ye, Yan Yixi, and others beneath it.

The people from the various Holy Lands also paled, simultaneously fending off the assassins' attacks and raising light barriers to resist.

An old woman appeared beside the Purple Mansion Saintess, who was surprisingly a Saint. She was clearly a "hidden power" of that Holy Land, protecting them.

Above Jiang Yifei's head, another terrifying divine furnace appeared, rising and falling, emitting a wisp of ultimate divine power. This was a replica of an Emperor Weapon!

"Everyone, embark on your final journey!"

Amidst the lethal light of the ancient spell formation, the people of the two great divine dynasties spoke mercilessly. The three Ancestral Kings, moving through the familiar ancient array, launched their ultimate attacks.

The Black Emperor roared in fury. Its killing array was infinitely powerful, but there were not many array platforms left. Protecting the people of Heavenly Village was not an issue, but destroying this place would be extremely difficult.

"Haha..." In the heavenly tribulation, the Killer Saint from the Mortal Realm, though shattered several times, reformed each time, still laughing cruelly.

"Perish!" The skeletal figure also roared, the divine flame in its skull still burning.

"First, let's eliminate the two of you!" Ji Zi said.

The Killer Saint in the sea of thunder acted as if insane, stating, "I will make you understand that the divine dynasty cannot be provoked. We originally intended to remain hidden, but you relentlessly pursued us. Now, you will become the prey."

Ye Fan sneered, a cold smile playing on his lips, and shouted towards the distance, "Seniors of the Ji Family, when will you make your move?"

As the two great divine dynasties and the three Ancestral Kings wreaked havoc, fiercely attacking with the aid of the ancient spell formations, a vast fluctuation spread from the distance, imbued with the aura of an ancient Great Emperor.

An ancient mirror rose into the sky, from which ten thousand strands of Grand Dao silk streamers descended. Its brilliance pierced through ancient and modern times, its power unmatched in the world!

Dazzling beams of light shone from the mirror's surface, causing the ancient array to crack and the Chaotic Divine Land to fracture, slowly disintegrating.

This was a suffocating power, causing even Saints to tremble!

"The Void Mirror! The weapon of the ancient Great Emperor has indeed been brought. This is a colossal killing tribulation," someone shouted, and the assassins panicked.

At this moment, the mysterious ancient array preserved in this Chaotic Divine Land was being continuously eroded and destroyed.

The Ji family's Saint acted mercilessly. Above his head, the Void Emperor Mirror spun, its dazzling light shattering everything it touched, shining upon the Killer Saint King.

It must be said that this Killer Saint King was terrifying to the extreme. He managed to evade it in the blink of an eye.

"Puff!"

A burst of blood light scattered. Beside him, an Ancestral King of the ancient race cried out, instantly vaporized into a mist of blood by the mirror's light, leaving no trace of his body. He died an unnatural death.

Everyone was terrified; an ancient Saint had been instantly killed!

What a terrifying power! It was simply horrifying!

The ancient mirror was simple and lustrous. The divine radiance it emitted could sweep away all living beings; no one could withstand it.

This was the weapon of an ancient Great Emperor, revived in the hands of a Saint. It could cleave the heavens and earth, destroy the firmament, pierce through the past, present, and future, being omnipotent. Saints were reduced to a puddle of blood in an instant.

"Buzz!"

The Void Ancient Mirror spun again, once more turning towards the others. The people of the two great divine dynasties trembled, unable to move, and even the Killer Saint King could only retreat.

Another flash of blood light, and the second Saint-level Ancestral King was torn apart by the mirror's light, turning into trails of blood mist that dispersed into the heavens and earth.

"Fellow Daoists, what are you waiting for? The chance to seize the Emperor Weapon is right before you!" the Killer Saint battling Qi Luo cried out urgently.

The altar in the ancient palace glowed. Seven or eight figures appeared, all of them Ancestral Kings. The leader's blood energy overshadowed the sun and moon, his cultivation unsurpassed in this place.

All beings trembled. Many almost knelt directly on the ground, unable to withstand this ocean-like pressure.

"Great Saint Qianlun... It's actually the Great Saint of the ancient race from the Myriad Dragon Nest!"

"He has brought an ancient Emperor Weapon!"

People exclaimed, their faces ashen, sensing that something terrible was about to happen, and they all trembled.

"I said who the prey would be revealed at the very end. You forced all of this!" the Killer Saint from Hell said grimly.

Clearly, they had long-standing ties with the ancient races, though they had never revealed this location. Only after being pushed to a dead end today did they reveal everything.

This was an extremely serious consequence. The ancient divine dynasties and the primeval imperial clan of Myriad Dragon Nest had allied, a thought that sent shivers down one's spine.

The hearts of the people from the Holy Lands sank!

In their original calculations, with Saints holding the line, flattening the divine dynasties should have been no problem. They never expected their hidden powers to emerge, and that they had long-standing schemes.

"We weren't afraid you wouldn't come; we were afraid you wouldn't appear. You took one of our ancient Emperor Weapons; now you can repay it with an Emperor Weapon!" Great Saint Qianlun of the Myriad Dragon Nest said chillingly.

People's expressions turned ugly. The weapon of an ancient Great Emperor could not be easily provoked. They never expected such a disaster to occur just as an Ancestral King had been suppressed today.

Everyone's hearts were heavy. Gai Jiuyou had left, entering the depths of the star domain; otherwise, Qianlun might not have dared to appear like this.

The Killer Saint King laughed sinisterly, like a dull knife scraping bone. "Who is the prey? You will all die!"

Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the others were utterly disgusted by him. Their faces darkened, and the Saint Prince sneered, "You're celebrating too soon."

"The one you wish to summon probably won't be able to come. Today, I'll spare your life and send you to Mount Sumeru; everyone else will be killed," the Killer Saint from Hell said, acting with impunity.

"Uncle, please make your move!" the Saint Prince cried out.

However, there was no response. The Chaotic Immortal Land cracked, and the light of stars from the cosmos spilled in, but there was no sign of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Everyone's expression changed again. What was supposed to be a battle to annihilate an ancient divine dynasty had turned into a complex conflict involving so many people and forces.

Great Saint Qianlun nodded. "Saint Prince, your uncle cannot come. An old senior might be looking to have a chat with him. I won't make things difficult for you; I will personally escort you back to Mount Sumeru, but everyone else must die!"

Before him, a purple true dragon emerged, each segment of its body a purple bell, shimmering with a dreamlike radiance. This was the legendary weapon, famous throughout eternity—the Myriad Dragon Bell!

The ancient Emperor's aura permeated the air, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, shaking everyone to their core. Even before its full revival, it had already caused everyone to collapse on the spot.

"I grant you death!" Great Saint Qianlun said coldly and mercilessly, sweeping his gaze across everyone, including the Saints.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to overestimate yourself," Wei Yi said at that moment, stepping forward, his body exuding a terrifying power that shocked past and present.

His white hair was disheveled, and his body was withered, but at this moment, every pore on his body overflowed with wisps of Dao energy, as if he were a divine being. A terrifying power surged, as if an eternal divine furnace had been revived.

He borrowed the Void Mirror, which hovered above his head, its light capable of illuminating the past, present, and future.

A Great Saint!

This unassuming old man was actually a Great Saint!

Everyone was horrified, then relieved. After all, these were the Three Heroes of Tianxuan from back then, who achieved enlightenment in an era when becoming a Saint was thought impossible. Their achievements were naturally profound. After so many years, how could they still be ordinary?

"This..." The ancient race and the ancient divine dynasties were all stunned.

"There's nothing more to say. Let's finish off these two first!" Ye Fan stared at the Killer Saint and the skeletal figure in the lightning tribulation.

The Saint Prince and Ji Zi nodded. The heavenly tribulation was immense. The Killer Saint was in a miserable state, on the verge of perishing, as was the skeletal figure whose divine flame in its skull was about to extinguish.
