Chapter 1071: The Sacred War Ends
Such a shocking change occurred on the battlefield outside the city. Kun Zhou the Great Sage and the Golden King both changed color. They had never expected the Battle Saint King to be so heaven-defying. The situation had instantly reversed, turning extremely unfavorable for them.
How could they still fight? With two additional Dao bodies appearing, three Extreme Ancient Imperial Weapons had all been activated, enough to suppress them and beat them to pieces!
"Kill!"
The three Battle Saint Apes attacked together, slaughtering until the heavens shattered. The three ancient imperial weapons all revived, and three figures flew forth, sweeping across both of them.
"Battle Victory Buddha!"
The golden sacred ape wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle chanted his own Buddha title. His countenance was solemn and majestic, his strikes fierce and resolute. Buddha light shone everywhere, burying Kun Zhou beneath him in an instant.
Kun Zhou's face was ugly, but he had no choice but to brace himself and fight. At this point, there was no other option. Retreating one step meant death; charging forward bravely might carve out a future.
Countless strands of immortal light overflowed from within his body as he blocked the Battle Victory Buddha. He fully activated his dharma power, holding nothing back—this was a desperate life-or-death battle.
"Boom!"
The Demon-Subduing Pestle radiated boundless Buddha light, its power immense and unmatched. With a single strike crashing down, this place was filled with the aura of primordial chaos. The heavens exploded, turning into chaos.
This was an imperial weapon, the foremost divine artifact of the Buddhist sect, personally refined by Amitabha Buddha. Its name alone spoke to its might—it was the supreme immortal weapon for protecting the Buddhist path.
"Ah..."
Kun Zhou let out a long howl, exerting every ounce of strength to resist. He had no choice but to go all out. If he couldn't take down one Battle Saint Ape in advance, he and the Golden King would ultimately be defeated.
This Battle Saint Ape was entirely formed from the thought power (nianli) of Mount Sumeru, coalesced into the Dao. Its golden body was indestructible. Wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle, it assumed the form of an angry Vajra. With a single roar, even Kun Zhou the Great Sage stumbled, shaken until his blood and qi surged.
The Demon-Subduing Pestle, a supreme Buddhist treasure, empowered all Buddhist mystical techniques. At this moment, this was fully realized—slaying demons and subduing fiends with divine power beyond compare.
"Kun Zhou, surrender your life!"
The Battle Victory Buddha roared. The Demon-Subduing Pestle transformed into a brilliant expanse of Buddha light, cascading down and pressing Kun Zhou's body into trembling.
Forged from the infinite thought power of Mount Sumeru into a Dao body, wielding Amitabha Buddha's weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle—they complemented each other perfectly, making him practically invincible.
However, Kun Zhou was equally astonishing. After all, he was rated as comparable to Di Que, possessing sufficiently powerful means and talent, with rich combat experience. He fought to a stalemate.
On the other side, the Golden King was not so fortunate. He faced the monkey's other Dao body, sucking in cold air as he fought.
Born in the ancient era, he had witnessed the supreme might of the Battle Saint Emperor. Now, sensing traces of that aura again, his heart raced and his hair stood on end.
This golden sacred ape was excessively domineering, boundless in its tyranny. Swinging a black divine iron rod, it pressed him relentlessly, nearly forcing him to flee in panic.
This was the Great Emperor's Dao—uniquely supreme in the world. Its combat power was heaven-defying. A single iron rod swept across the world, slaughtering with wild abandon, as if a battle immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
The Golden King was not only terrified of the Battle Saint Emperor of old but also feared the monkey's true body before him!
Born in the same era as an ancient Saint Emperor, everyone's Dao would be suppressed, making breakthroughs difficult. Unable to approach the imperial path, even avoiding it into this era was useless.
Now, the monkey had actually reached this step, completely erasing the Saint Emperor's influence and forging a Dao body. This was a great boldness—cutting off his own past, breaking free from the suppression of the Battle Saint Emperor's Dao traces.
This was a tremendous breakthrough. From now on, he could walk his own immortal path. If fortune favored him, perhaps one day he could achieve ultimate sublimation and attain the Dao as an emperor.
"Roar..."
The golden sacred ape roared across heaven and earth, wielding the black divine iron rod, striking up and sweeping down. It slaughtered the Golden King into retreat step by step, his arms numb, the golden bronze rod in his hand nearly slipping away.
He gripped the ancient imperial weapon tightly. If he lost it, he would surely turn to ashes in an instant.
This was a process full of torment. Suppressed by the golden sacred ape's momentum, his actual combat strength was also a notch inferior, forcing him to retreat continuously. The most terrifying thing was that the Golden Bronze Rod was an imperial-level weapon, requiring a vast amount of dharma power to sustain. Even a Great Sage would be drained dry over time.
"Clang!"
The black iron rod struck down vertically, Dao traces cascading down, crashing onto the Golden Bronze Rod with a thunderous roar. The star domain shook, nearby stars shattered, and the Golden King was wounded, spitting blood, unable to resist.
"Take another strike from my rod!"
The golden sacred ape, holding the great iron rod with both hands, smashed it down. The Golden King was forced to block, and the Extreme Imperial Bronze Rod overflowed with tens of thousands of strands of light.
"Clang!"
The black divine iron rod and the Golden Bronze Rod clashed through Dao traces. The metallic sound was deafening, bursting forth with a blazing radiance, as if the dark universe had exploded!
"Pfft"
The Golden King spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying sideways for hundreds of miles. The ancient imperial weapon in his hand nearly slipped away, and his dharma power was almost completely drained.
"Bad!" Kun Zhou the Great Sage frowned.
The Golden King was definitely unable to hold out, and on the other side, the Battle Saint King's true body had yet to make a move.
"Boom!"
Wielding the black divine iron rod, the monkey, imbued with the Saint Emperor's aura, pursued to slaughter the Golden King. At the same time, the monkey's true body also moved. Covered in the divine silkworm clan's nine-colored imperial robe, his entire body was resplendent as he charged straight at Kun Zhou.
"It's time for you to hit the road!" the Battle Saint King's true body shouted.
Kun Zhou the Great Sage's face instantly turned green. He was indeed astonishing enough, with extraordinary talent, not much weaker than Di Que of old. But now, facing two monkeys attacking simultaneously, even a god would weep.
"Boom!"
The Battle Saint King threw a punch, clad in the nine-colored battle robe, immortal light dazzling. He swung the great Dao of heaven and earth forward, his fist intent world-suppressing!
"Bang"
Kun Zhou braced himself for battle, maneuvering between the two monkeys. But before long, he was exhausted and spitting blood, sent flying by the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
"Cough!"
He coughed up blood heavily, his vital energy damaged. Retreating in the dark heavens, he could not withstand the two monkeys' peerless assault.
In the Central Province, outside True Sage City, the Eight Divine Generals, Silver Moon Heavenly King, and others were silent as cicadas in winter. The ancestral kings who had followed Kun Zhou the Great Sage also turned pale. The sudden change had come too quickly, the reversal too fast.
Those who had just been clamoring to massacre the Holy Prince, Ye Fan, and the Divine Silkworm Princess all shut their mouths, wishing they could flee immediately.
Some saint-level ancient kings were almost trembling. Earlier, they had said the Battle Saint King could not turn things around, that dying in battle outside the domain was no different from dirt.
"Aren't you all still shouting? Urging the ancient tribes to join forces and wipe us out? Come on, make a move now!" Black Emperor said with a very nasty mouth.
The Divine Silkworm Princess advanced, and the people opposite retreated together. Who could defy heaven now? Which ancient king dared to make a move?
Even Silver Moon Heavenly King's expression was gloomy. He knew today might bring great disaster. The light in his eyes flickered unceasingly, hesitant.
"Ah..."
Beyond the heavens, this battle was about to conclude. The monkey, with one body and three forms, had routed the two Great Sages, both severely wounded.
One body, three forms, wielding three imperial-level weapons—this was heaven-defying combat power. Whoever came would regret it, holding an absolute and overwhelming advantage.
This was a clash between Great Sages, and because they controlled ancient imperial weapons, it was many times more terrifying. Three monkeys attacked together, fighting until the heavens boiled.
"Boom!"
A golden sacred ape, wielding a black iron rod, nearly split the Golden King in two, shaking him until blood rained down. He fled in panic, using the Golden Bronze Rod to protect his body.
On the other side, the Demon-Subduing Pestle's power was boundless. The force of subduing demons surged, causing some small planets to shake, about to fall.
"Bang!"
The monkey's true body was unmatched in its dominance. Relying on the divine silkworm clan's ancient imperial battle robe, it pressed Kun Zhou with its fists, nearly causing his body to explode, covered in bloodstains.
In this battle, Kun Zhou's form and spirit were both shattered, his injuries extremely severe. Moreover, they were Dao wounds, hard to heal, caused by the ancient imperial weapon.
If not for the Extreme Imperial Weapon within his body, he would have long turned to dust. This battle was one-sided, with no suspense left by now.
On the ground, people were captivated. Such a battle had not been seen in many years. Great Sages activating imperial weapons to fight had collapsed the heavens.
At the end, the three golden sacred apes surrounded Kun Zhou and the Golden King. These two Great Sages could become ashes at any moment, ceasing to exist.
"Clang!"
The black iron rod pressed down, and the Golden Bronze Rod wailed.
"Boom!"
The Demon-Subduing Pestle smashed down, Dao light like an ocean. Kun Zhou the Great Sage groaned, spitting blood with every step.
At this point, the situation was settled. The sacred war was about to end.
"Sacred King, please show mercy!" An old, hoarse voice sounded, coming from the Eastern Wasteland to the outer domain at extreme speed.
It was an old man, ordinary in appearance. He looked more like a human than an ancient tribe member, like an old villager from the countryside, even in his attire.
"Chaos Expansion Great Sage!"
In the Central Province, outside True Sage City, everyone was shocked, recognizing this old man.
The Chaos Expansion Great Sage, renowned in ancient times, was the only one who, as a Great Sage, had challenged the Battle Saint Emperor. Although he was suppressed with one hand by the Saint Emperor, it was not shameful.
Who dared to challenge an ancient emperor? Setting aside the result, the courage alone was admirable. At that time, the ancient era shook!
With such a great background, having only lost to the Saint Emperor in his life, the Chaos Expansion Great Sage's appearance now suddenly introduced variables, making many hearts beat faster.
"Do you also want to make a move?" the Battle Victory Buddha asked.
"Sacred King, do not misunderstand. I have no such intention. I only wish to act as a mediator," the Chaos Expansion Great Sage said.
"I cannot stop now, impossible!" the Battle Victory Buddha refused outright.
"I am only speaking. Whatever decision the Sacred King makes, follow your heart. However, if they pay a sufficient price, I wonder if it could quell the Sacred King's anger? If they are all killed here, the myriad tribes may fall into great chaos, as it involves two imperial clans," the Chaos Expansion Great Sage frowned.
The Battle Saint King's brows shot up. One imperial clan was naturally the Golden Clan. The other imperial clan was also extraordinary, having lent their ancient imperial weapon to Kun Zhou the Great Sage.
"In ancient times, Di Que was a close friend of my father, saving his life twice. This time, I acted to repay a favor, not out of dissatisfaction with the Battle Saint Ape lineage," the Golden King said as he fought.
At that moment, another figure appeared on the battlefield outside the domain, very blurry and hard to see clearly. His words were ancient and weathered.
"My clan lent the ancient imperial weapon to Kun Zhou also to repay Di Que's favor. Please forgive us, Sacred King. My clan will pay some price," the newly appeared figure said.
Another Great Sage!
The Great Sages of the ancient tribes had almost all arrived, standing on the battlefield outside the domain, pleading with the Battle Saint King.
Di Que, renowned in ancient times, peerless and unmatched across the ages, could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Battle Saint Emperor. He had great kindness toward several imperial clans.
"Please, Sacred King, show mercy, lest the myriad tribes fall into chaos!"
At the same time, several more aged figures appeared. The people on the ground were shaken. Although these were not Great Sages, they were the old clan leaders of several imperial clans, their status terrifyingly high.
These people came forward together to mediate, fearing that the Battle Saint King, in his anger, would attack the Golden Clan. Imperial clans rarely went to war in history, but once they did, heaven and earth would be overturned!
The old monkey was powerful enough, but with two imperial clans involved in this battle, providing ancient imperial weapons, the consequences of a real conflict would be unimaginable.
The battle stopped. So many had arrived—people from Fire Qilin Cave, Primordial Lake, Blood Phoenix Mountain, and some had even brought ancient imperial weapons. They had to temporarily cease hostilities.
The Battle Saint King's expression was cold. Holding three ancient imperial weapons, he looked down on everyone. Then, he fixed his gaze on the Golden King. "What price do you pay to save your life?"
"I..." The Golden King was in a difficult position. The monkey's killing intent swept over—this was about to kill him!
"At our level, what we lack most is just a life. If I can keep my life, I naturally have to pay the price of life. I am willing to offer a bottle of divine marrow accumulated by my clan's ancestors," the Golden King said, shocking everyone.
The Battle Saint King said nothing, fixing his gaze on Kun Zhou. His eyes were terrifying, and he raised all three imperial weapons!
"Sacred King, show mercy..." someone advised.
"Monkey..." Kun Zhou also cried out.
"Roar!"
The Battle Saint King's eyes shot up. He charged forward with a fierce kill. Imperial might sent everyone flying.
"Ah..."
A miserable scream rang out. The Chaos Expansion Great Sage's head was smashed into a thousand blooming peach blossoms by the black divine iron rod. Even with an ancient imperial weapon inside his body, he could not protect himself!
