# Chapter 1121: Imperial Weapon Appears Again
Beneath the Blue Demon Abyss, within the majestic ancient city, Chaos Expansion Great Sage stood expressionless. After a long silence, he tore through space and departed into the distance.
Gai Jiuyou did not stop him. Unless he wanted to wage full-scale war against the ancient clans, killing this Great Sage incarnation who always liked to play peacemaker would stir up many people's nerves.
The Blue Demon Clan trembled in fear. Both Great Sages had retreated, unable to block the Human Clan's Supreme Being. Their clan leader and two Ancestral Kings had also been killed. How could they resist?
Within the vast Blue Demon Ancient City, silence reigned so absolute that the sound of a silver needle dropping could be heard. Ye Fan and the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion's old sage also entered. They had only one goal—to destroy the ancient tree at the city's center.
This was the Blue Demon Clan's founding foundation. Through it, they devoured the primordial spirits of other clan cultivators, and it could gather the power of the earth, releasing mysterious blue mist for their cultivation.
The Extraordinary Scholars Mansion's old sage made his move. His right hand transformed into a silver great stele covered in flashing runes. Fierce and powerful, it struck this heaven-piercing ancient tree.
*Bang!*
The giant tree shook. Blue leaves rustled, light flowing and spilling forth. Every leaf was crystalline and translucent, blue as gemstones, emitting oceanic divine energy.
It remained unharmed, not destroyed. The trunk was sturdy, branches lush and leaves dense. Various blue beams shot out, its entire body appearing like a dreamlike blue jade carving.
Ye Fan was astonished. A single strike from an Ancient Sage hadn't broken this giant tree. This was too miraculous. Even if the old mansion master had struck the moon with this blow, it would have exploded.
"There's some trick to it." The old sage struck again. The runes on the silver great stele blazed brilliantly, power intensifying. After eight consecutive strikes, the ancient tree remained undamaged, though the entire ancient city trembled and leaves flowed with light and rainbow radiance.
"This is harder than ordinary legendary Saint Weapons. I never expected this tree to be so difficult to destroy. What origin does it have?" The Extraordinary Scholars Mansion's old mansion master was astonished.
Ye Fan captured a Dao-Cutting commander of the Blue Demon Clan and searched his sea of consciousness. He was immediately shocked, learning the tree's origin.
"This is equivalent to a Great Sage's weapon!"
"What? No wonder it's indestructible, able to withstand my power." The old mansion master's eyes gleamed. He began to view this ancient tree differently, preparing to dig it up.
"This is an evil tree!" Ye Fan warned.
The Blue Demon Clan had once produced a Great Sage in their history—something all ancient clans knew. His strength was formidable. In that era after the Ancient Emperor had passed into stillness, he had dominated the world, revered by all directions.
This Great Sage had once gone beyond the domain. No one knew where he obtained this ancient tree. It was indestructible, naturally tough, used as a weapon that never failed. The blue light it emitted could sever primordial spirits.
It was equivalent to a Great Sage-rank spiritual wood born from heaven and earth!
Some said that the Blue Demon Clan's Great Sage had once mistakenly entered a chaotic land, digging up a blue sapling from within. After long years of cultivation, it grew into this evil weapon.
*Boom!*
Gai Jiuyou made his move. A rough hand covered in traces of time grabbed the tree trunk, directly uprooting this ancient tree. The sound of the Heavenly Dao resonating rang out.
At this moment, blue light danced like blue stars falling from beyond the heavens, ravaging the earth. It seemed ready to collapse the land.
If such terrifying energy fully erupted, it would be enough to sink half the Northern Domain, for this was equivalent to a Great Sage's weapon attacking.
However, since Gai Jiuyou acted, he naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. His palm flickered, gathering all the blue light, transforming violence into calm.
"This is a strange heavenly wood, rooted in chaos. It can be called a rare divine material. Someone found it and refined it into an evil tree, specializing in devouring primordial spirits."
Gai Jiuyou confirmed. This was indeed a rare and precious treasure tree. It couldn't compare to the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, but it was still sufficient to forge a Great Sage's weapon. If carefully nurtured, it could even be refined into a Quasi-Emperor divine artifact—priceless!
*Swish!*
He wiped his hand across it, and the ancient tree immediately emitted thousands of piercing screaming sounds. Face after face appeared among its leaves—mostly human, but also other strange races. All were transformed by the blue light, ferociously roaring.
He shook it forcefully. All faces disappeared, and the entire tree dimmed considerably. Those faces were the primordial spirit imprints of cultivators it had devoured over endless years.
Gai Jiuyou opened his mouth and let out a clear cry, spitting out a beam of divine light like a bolt of silk. He washed this heaven-piercing ancient tree thousands of times, purifying all impurities, making its entire body blue and translucent without flaw.
He erased all imprints within the evil tree, returning it to its origin. The blue light was no longer so fierce, but it became clear and pure.
"This is a heavenly wood born in chaos. Cultivating it with primordial spirits makes it evil. If cultivated with essence, divine power, or other methods, it would become something else. The key is how it's used," Gai Jiuyou said.
He then refined this ancient tree anew. Finally, opening his mouth, the blue crystal-like giant tree shrank and disappeared into his mouth. Then his entire body bloomed with divine radiance. With heavenly eyes, one could see that within his physical body, a crystalline wondrous tree had taken root and grown, its branches extending into every piece of his flesh and blood.
"Senior, this..." Ye Fan was astonished.
"My blood energy is insufficient. We depend on each other. Through this, I draw in heaven and earth's essence, filling this physical body with vitality," Gai Jiuyou said.
"Congratulations, Senior, for obtaining a wondrous tree!" the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion's old mansion master said.
For Gai Jiuyou in his current state, this was indeed a treasure tree. It could alleviate his problem of dried-up blood energy, allowing him to hold on for a while longer. After all, this was an exotic species that had once rooted in chaos.
The three departed. The Blue Demon Clan didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Even though their clan's foremost sacred object—the Blue Demon Ancient Tree—had been taken, not a single person dared to speak.
"I think next, someone will be waiting for us with Ancient Emperor Weapons," Gai Jiuyou said.
At this moment, the Northern Domain seemed to have experienced a violent storm. Everywhere was hard to calm. Within the cultivator world, thunder and lightning flashed, people's hearts in turmoil.
Gai Jiuyou struck with overwhelming force, consecutively slaughtering ancient royal clans. Not a single Ancient Sage could escape—all were annihilated. How shocking was that!
The eyes of the entire world focused on the Northern Domain. Even the most powerful rogue cultivators from overseas crossed the sea, wanting to understand the details. This was a world-shaking event.
After Ye Fan and the others came out, they didn't immediately head to the sixth ancient clan dwelling place. News came that the Ancient Sages of these clans had all fled, scared out of their wits. Some had even escaped beyond the heavens.
On this day, a storm arose from flat ground. The Northern Domain triggered a tsunami that shocked the world, worthy of being recorded in cultivation history!
Soon, news from within the Blue Demon Abyss also spread.
"The Blue Demon Heavenly King was destroyed! Only one step away from becoming a Great Sage, yet he died like that, without even splashing a single wave—unbelievable!"
"Consecutively killing Ancient Sages, the Human Clan's Supreme Being is too strong, unmatched in the world!"
"Even Saints were scared to the bone, fleeing into the cosmos, not daring to return. Lord Gai's divine might truly covers the world!"
The Golden King had also been defeated—and thoroughly defeated. His incarnation was killed, turned into bloody rain and flesh chunks. When this news spread, all the world's experts fell silent for a moment.
Then, the ancient clans trembled, the Human Clan was invigorated, and the world fell into chaos. All races were in uproar.
"Five royal clan Ancient Sages remain unkilled. I think no matter where we go, we won't gain anything. Instead, we'll encounter the most terrifying enemies!" the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion's old sage said.
"Then let's just go anywhere," Gai Jiuyou said, his expression calm, without worry.
Crimson Cloud Plain was a rare, vibrant great plain in the Northern Domain. It was covered in crimson cloud trees. Every tree was like evening glow, red as heavenly fire. Whether trunk or leaves, crimson clouds steamed upward.
Looking from afar, it seemed like evening glow had gathered here, falling to earth, never to disappear.
This was the ancestral land of the Silver Clan. They had always been on good terms with the Gold Clan, a famous royal clan from the ancient era. Apart from imperial clans, they held a revered position among other royal clans.
Now, Gai Jiuyou, Ye Fan, and the old mansion master had arrived at this great plain. Crimson clouds shone, stretching endlessly, a sea of fiery red.
When they reached the Silver Clan's ancestral land, the clan immediately fell into chaos. Everyone was terrified. In this single day, Gai Jiuyou had wiped out five clans' Ancient Sages. The whole world was watching, and naturally, the news had reached here. They had been trembling in fear, never expecting to be found.
"They've come. The Human Clan's Supreme Being has come to kill."
"What can we do? The clan leader has already fled beyond the domain to take refuge. He won't harm us, will he? It's said that even the Golden King was defeated, unable to resist."
*Boom!*
Suddenly, golden light illuminated all directions in the sky. The heavens were torn open. Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor might surged, covering heaven and earth as it descended.
The Golden Great Sage had arrived, appearing above Crimson Cloud Plain, carrying his clan's Golden Cudgel. Divine might shook the eight wastelands!
"Gai Jiuyou, your life is mine!" a voice shouted from the heavens. This was a Great Sage's roar, shaking half the Northern Domain, audible in all directions.
Not long ago, he had suffered a great defeat at the Blue Demon Abyss. News spread immediately. All clans were discussing it, causing his prestige to plummet.
Because first, he had lost to the Battle Victory Buddha, needing divine marrow to ransom his life. Now, in the shortest time, his incarnation had been sliced away by the Human Clan's Supreme Being, inevitably drawing criticism.
"Golden King, wait." Someone in the heavens stopped him, telling him not to easily bring down the Golden Cudgel, as if extremely wary of those below.
"Chaos Expansion, don't stop me!" the Golden King said.
At the same time, the void flickered. Another space shattered. Purple light shot into the sky. Bell sounds rang out. A string of purple-golden bells transformed into a true dragon, raising its head and roaring.
The Thousand Dragon Nest's Qianlun Great Sage had arrived, also bringing an Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor Weapon. The atmosphere grew even more tense, because he too aimed at Gai Jiuyou, ready to strike at any moment.
"You've come here wanting this old man's life too?" Gai Jiuyou's expression was calm, facing Qianlun Great Sage who held the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell.
"That's right. Qianlun Great Sage was invited by me, precisely to take your old life!" the Golden King said. Though his heart was filled with rage, he was extremely wary of Gai Jiuyou. Holding the Golden Cudgel alone might not be enough, so he had another Great Sage bring the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, this Ancient Emperor Weapon, to assist.
In the distant sky, figures flickered. Many ancient clans had come, all of them experts. Today, all directions were in motion. The decisive battle was about to unfold. People couldn't help but be shocked. Many bold individuals watched from afar.
"Senior!" Ye Fan spoke, his heart filled with worry. Even if Gai Jiuyou was supremely unmatched, with the bearing to attain the Dao, fighting two Ancient Emperor Weapons barehanded was too unrealistic. He wanted to lend the Green Copper Cauldron to the sick old man.
"It's fine!" Gai Jiuyou smiled, as if knowing what he wanted to say.
"Brother Gai, how about stopping the war here?" Chaos Expansion Great Sage said.
The Golden King loudly countered: "No! Today, there must be a result, a resolution. I don't believe this old bastard still has the courage of his youth. His blood has long dried up. He can't withstand the Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor Weapon!"
In the next instant, he raised the Golden Cudgel. Tens of millions of immortal radiance shot out, aimed at Gai Jiuyou.
At the same time, the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell rang out. Divine sounds shook the ears. The world-shaking ultimate battle was about to begin.
*Clang!*
Suddenly, the Golden King screamed in surprise. The Thousand Dragon Nest's Great Sage also felt his hair stand on end. The weapons in their hands trembled wildly, actually about to attack each other. This was all too sudden! (To be continued.)
