# Chapter 1120: A Great Sage Is Also No Match
The Golden King's golden pupils contracted as he stared at Gai Jiuyou. He felt uncertain in his heart, sensing that this old man with little remaining lifespan had become unfathomable, sending chills through him.
"Brother Gai's cultivation can rival the legendary supreme existences. Admirable, truly shaking the past and present. What a pity you were born in the wrong era." Chaos Expansion Great Sage spoke with a hint of a smile.
Ye Fan and the old master of the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion both felt uneasy. The Primeval Era was a flourishing age, with ten thousand clans coexisting. Now that they had emerged together, perhaps there really were "old predecessors" who had surpassed Great Sages still surviving.
These two Great Sages were likely not speaking without reason. Was this a form of intangible intimidation? If an old predecessor as the Great Sages described were to appear, the world would truly change!
Gai Jiuyou sighed, "Old, useless now. I only wished to meet the peerless existences of the Ancient Clan. Could the two of you arrange an introduction?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan and the old sage of the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion both felt a chill in their hearts. Could the Ancient Clan truly have such a Supreme Being? Gai Jiuyou had sensed something.
Chaos Expansion Great Sage remained silent, while the Golden King's expression was cold. Neither spoke immediately. The scene fell quiet, the atmosphere growing heavy.
"Gai Jiuyou, I admit you are strong. But in your current state, can you last? I believe I can fight you." After a long time, the Golden King spoke.
"Have you only sent two avatars?" Gai Jiuyou asked casually.
Behind him, the Blue Demon Clan Lord's heart trembled. Clearly, both Ancient Clan Great Sages were extremely wary, not descending in person but sending avatars to probe.
Ye Fan opened his Heavenly Eye. Earlier, he had been unable to detect any difference, because these two avatars were also very powerful, not much weaker than their true bodies.
The ancient city beneath the Blue Demon Abyss was majestic and grand. At its center stood a heaven-piercing ancient tree, shimmering with blue crystal light, wrapped in ribbon-like mist that spread outward.
Chaos Expansion Great Sage and the Golden King stood atop the city gate, blocking Gai Jiuyou. The two sides faced off. Now, with the Golden King's words, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
"Is that so? Let's spar then." Gai Jiuyou said.
Many in the Ancient Clan believed Gai Jiuyou's blood had dried up. Sometimes oppressing the Human Clan was a form of probing. Now, Gai Jiuyou's actions had overturned many people's understanding.
The Golden King couldn't be certain. His golden pupils shot out two beams of brilliant divine radiance, trying to pierce through everything inside this sick old man.
"You killed the ancient sages of four royal clans, Brother Gai. Shouldn't you stop now? If this continues, it benefits no one. Grievances should be resolved, not deepened." Chaos Expansion Great Sage said.
"Over so many years, I have seen everything. The Ancient Clan, time and again, goes too far, escalating further. Can you resolve this?" Gai Jiuyou said indifferently.
"I think such incidents will be hard to repeat in the future. The path to immortality is about to open. The ancient sages must prepare. I believe there will be a period of peace." Chaos Expansion said.
"Once the path to immortality opens, the world will fall into chaos, war raging everywhere. If the Ancient Clan cannot restrain themselves and find peace even now, what will happen on that day is easy to imagine." Gai Jiuyou shook his head.
"Brother Gai, do you truly intend to go on a killing spree today and annihilate the ancient sages of ten clans?" Chaos Expansion Great Sage asked solemnly.
"Correct. Not one less. These ten clans have gone too far. This is no longer the Primeval Era, yet they still want to devour human flesh and blood, shout and curse, treat people as slaves. What they have done is enough to warrant the extermination of their entire clans." Gai Jiuyou said.
"Brother Gai, I admit your dharma power is unmatched in the world. But do not think that no one can restrain you, even if you return to your peak!" Chaos Expansion Great Sage said.
Gai Jiuyou smiled but said nothing this time.
The Golden King said coldly, "Gai Jiuyou, you have gone too far. How could you understand the methods of an Ancient Emperor? As long as you have not attained the Dao, you can never compare. So many years have passed. You have missed the age for attaining the Dao, old and decrepit. Relying on your own strength to suppress ten thousand clans is utterly unrealistic!"
"Saying these things is meaningless. Do the two of you intend to stop me?" Gai Jiuyou said.
Chaos Expansion Great Sage said, "Brother Gai, I solemnly warn you. In such a great era, it would not be a miracle for one or two invincible old predecessors to appear."
"If a quasi-emperor appears, heh, Gai Jiuyou, even if you return to your peak, you would likely be unable to handle it!" The Golden King said coldly.
Gai Jiuyou said no more. He took a step forward, and a heaven-shaking aura surged up. The Blue Demon Clan Lord in the city cried out, spraying blood from his mouth, filled with terror.
He was only one step away from becoming a Great Sage, yet now he was as weak as an ant, on the verge of shattering and turning to ash under this aura. And this was without Gai Jiuyou truly making a move—just a surge of overwhelming, heaven-dominating momentum!
"Gai Jiuyou, you have gone too far! Do you truly intend to slaughter the ancient sage of the Blue Demon Clan before our eyes?" The Golden King shouted, his expression ashen. He transformed into streams of golden light, trying to dispel the overwhelming momentum.
"Brother Gai, please show mercy!" Chaos Expansion Great Sage also spoke, stepping forward.
"No mercy can be shown. The ancient sages of ten clans must all be destroyed. Not one less." Gai Jiuyou said firmly. He continued forward, intending to pass between the two Great Sages.
Divine might surged. The entire massive ancient city began to shake. In the distance, the blue ancient tree's branches and leaves rustled, blue light shooting into the sky.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme. Gai Jiuyou might be about to fight the Great Sages. The Blue Demon Clan's experts could barely breathe, for this would decide their fate.
"I am here. I will not allow you to kill this clan's ancient sage, 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 Sage, an extraordinary existence. Over so many years, every time he visited, he had treated the Golden King with the respect of a junior.
"Is that so? Then try to stop me. Today, I will kill him first." Gai Jiuyou said calmly.
He continued forward. The Golden King's expression was cold as he moved to block him. But Gai Jiuyou moved like an immortal shifting steps, passing through effortlessly. The Golden King's supreme golden dao marks were ineffective—they could not stop him!
"Chi!"
Gai Jiuyou struck out casually, a finger pointing forward. A beam of light rose and shot forward.
"Ah..."
The Blue Demon Clan Lord screamed. As powerful as he was, capable of plucking stars from the sky, he could not move now. He could not dodge the brilliant finger light. His forehead bone was pierced through instantly. He roared in agony.
"Puff."
Blood splattered everywhere, turning into a rain of blood, mostly blue. A generation of peerless genius died on the spot.
Everything seemed incredibly simple. Gai Jiuyou appeared to have expended almost no effort in killing the Blue Demon Clan Lord.
"Gai Jiuyou!" The Golden King roared, his golden pupils shooting out dazzling light.
"Don't be impulsive. You are no match for him." Chaos Expansion Great Sage frowned.
The Golden King said, "No matter. It's just an avatar. What does it matter if I discard it? Let me test his true strength and see if he is bluffing."
Gai Jiuyou entered the city and flew straight toward the Blue Demon Ancient Tree, intending to ascend to the clan's most important sacred ground and kill the ancient sage in seclusion.
"Disaster! Even two Great Sages cannot stop him. What can we do? If we had known, we should have fled!"
On the ancient tree stood two ancestral kings with extraordinary dharma power. But now their faces were pale. Facing Gai Jiuyou, they could not muster a trace of resistance.
"Gai Jiuyou, you are too overbearing! If you attack these two, do not regret it!" The Golden King roared.
"Are you threatening me?" Gai Jiuyou turned back, his gaze cold. Then his hand covered the ancient tree as he reached forward.
"Great Sage, please save us!" The two ancient sages of the Blue Demon Clan screamed, unable to dodge as this place was sealed. The other clan members trembled, collapsing to the ground, their eyes filled with terror.
Thinking back to the Primeval Era, they had feasted on human flesh and blood, enslaved them in every way. They had never imagined that this clan could produce a supreme-level figure, now slaughtering their ancestral kings like dogs.
Without suspense, the two ancient sages on the Blue Demon Tree turned into blood mist, their souls shattered inch by inch, erased from the world.
"Gai Jiuyou!"
The Golden King was furious. He unleashed heaven-shaking, earth-shattering techniques, charging forward to kill. The ancient emperor's supreme divine art—the Golden Divine Treasury—opened. Golden bells, ancient pagodas, sharp golden divine swords, and cauldrons, all radiating golden light, rushed out from a golden kingdom belonging to weapons, flying toward Gai Jiuyou.
A Great Sage's attack was enough to level this underground world!
However, facing such a ferocious assault, Gai Jiuyou did little more than dodge, evading the attacks of thousands of golden weapons and arriving before the Golden King.
"What?" Even Chaos Expansion Great Sage was startled. Too fast! Just now, he had sensed a trace of the supreme aura that the Battle Saint Emperor had brought him back in the day.
"Boom!"
Gai Jiuyou turned his palm over. The Golden Divine Treasury world collapsed, turning into an energy storm powerful enough to destroy half of the Northern Domain. But the sick old man's hand swept across, gathering all the light into his palm, neutralizing the Great Sage's power that could shatter ancient stars, annihilating it between his fingers.
Then his right arm shook, descending from above to chop at the Golden King. Instantly, the Golden King screamed, the golden light all over his body dimming.
"Brother Gai, show mercy!" Chaos Expansion Great Sage shouted.
Gai Jiuyou paid no attention. His palm pressed down and shook again. The Golden King's luster was completely lost. He cried out in agony, his golden hair flying wildly, unable to resist that rough hand.
"Bang!"
Gai Jiuyou's expression was cold. He took a step forward, his rough hand mercilessly chopping down. The sound of golden dao marks being shattered was deafening.
"Puff!"
The Golden Great Sage screamed, covered in blood. Then his body burst apart, shattered into pieces, slaughtered here.
Gai Jiuyou had expended little dharma power. It seemed very casual. After three shakes, the Golden Great Sage broke into dozens or hundreds of pieces, turning into light rain that vanished into heaven and earth.
"Gai Jiuyou, I am not finished with you!"
In a pure land in the Northern Domain, golden light blazed. A roar shook the mountains and rivers. This was the Golden Cave, a famous ancient imperial clan sacred ground from ancient times.
The Golden Great Sage's true body opened its eyes in the ancient cave. His golden pupils blazed like two torches. He stood up abruptly, taking out the clan's supreme treasure, the extreme imperial ancient emperor weapon—the Golden Mace.
The next moment, he shot up from the Golden Cave, tearing through the void and disappearing. He roared, "I don't believe you can defy heaven! Let's see how you resist an ancient emperor weapon!"
His voice was like thunder, shaking the mountains and wild plains, causing many mountain ranges to collapse. The heroes of the Northern Domain were horrified. The Golden Great Sage had gone mad!
