# Chapter 1185: Divine Minerals Stir Up Chaos
(Correction from previous chapter: Ancestor Ginseng Liquid and Divine Phoenix Medicine Drops were given to Gai Jiuyou. Revised to: Old Gai used part of them and also gave some to Heavenly Village. Already corrected.)
Qi Luo, as a Saint among assassins, walked the path of proving the Dao through slaughter. In ordinary times, he wielded Heavenly Court secret arts to come and go without a trace, and after Ye Fan passed the Stride Art to him, his movements became even more unfathomable.
In this world, counting even the Ten Thousand Primeval Clans, there were truly few who could intercept him and injure him, for he was an Ancient Saint who controlled the Stride Secret, able to go anywhere under heaven and earth.
Yet now, he had been wounded to this state, nearly falling in battle, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Hell and Mortal World, these two great ancient Assassin Divine Dynasties, remained difficult to eradicate to this day, mysterious beyond compare. In ancient times, they were known for assassinating across the world, causing even Saints to die in regret.
Their ancient halls were built from the skulls of kings among various physiques, their floors paved with the divine skin of Saints—the most terrifying place in the world.
Over the years, Killing Saint Qi Luo had been watching them, while the two Divine Dynasties had also detected Heavenly Court, learning of a Killing Saint's existence, and had been targeting this side all along.
"This is my fourth time being wounded. Fortunately, they didn't cut off my escape route," Qi Luo said.
In the Primordial Era, Heavenly Court was destroyed by these two Divine Dynasties. They could be called mortal enemies, never-ending until one side fell.
"Sooner or later, we'll settle accounts with them!" Ye Fan said in a deep voice.
In years past, the two Divine Dynasties had made multiple moves against Ye Fan, causing him several calamities and nearly killing him. Later, he killed Hell's Divine Maiden and Mortal World's Divine Son, then set out on the Stellar Ancient Path, bringing that chapter to a close.
Without a doubt, with Heavenly Court standing opposed to the two Divine Dynasties, one side would fall sooner or later—there was no other resolution.
"Set this aside for now. Wait a while, and when Heavenly Court produces several experts who can fight Saints, we'll settle accounts with them," Killing Saint Qi Luo said. He swallowed some medicinal agents, circulated his mystic art, and the tattered half of his body slowly regenerated flesh and blood.
However, this process was very slow, because terrible killing intent was embedded within—he had been wounded by a terrifying Killing Saint.
Mortal World and Hell had possessed two terrifying Killing Saints even before the heavenly laws changed—neither human nor ghost, their lifespans nearly exhausted, yet they never died. Having survived until now, they were absolutely even more terrifying.
Qi Luo had made his move, destroying two of their minor worlds, and brought back divine minerals that shimmered with radiance, extremely rare and precious, solving a major problem.
Ye Fan said, "Although Senior was wounded on this journey, it has given us a warning. There are some things we need to find ways to obtain. The great powers with long traditions and deep foundations should have some!"
Currently, they had gathered quite a few divine minerals, but were still missing the most critical auxiliary ingredients. If they could obtain them, they could immediately begin extraction.
Everyone was looking forward to it. Becoming stronger would bring them breakthroughs and take them to the next level.
Killing Saint Qi Luo took things in stride, not dwelling on temporary gains or losses. Having been wounded several times over the past few years, his mind was calm and composed.
"Once we break through, we should be able to match Ancient Saints. Then we'll launch a counterattack against Mortal World and Hell, pay them back in kind, and wipe out their lineages!"
Ye Fan, Holy Prince, Ji Zi, and others all had this potential. Once they advanced, even if they didn't become Saints, they would possess that kind of terrifying combat power.
In the following days, they worked intensively, taking every possible action, searching for heavenly treasures and earthly rarities to prepare for refining the Evolution Liquid.
During this process, ancient clans like Fire Qilin Cave and Blood Phoenix Mountain were also purchasing, doing everything they could to mine divine minerals.
Ji Zi and Holy Prince were the main forces, moving among the Human Clan and Ancient Clan respectively, communicating with the most powerful Holy Lands and Primeval Royal Clans to purchase divine materials from their treasuries.
These great powers with ancient traditions and long histories had foundations far deeper than ordinary. Heavenly Village used various treasures to exchange with them for several kinds of minerals that could only be encountered by chance.
Ye Fan was naturally also making his moves. As a quasi-Origin Heavenly Master, he walked among the mountains and rivers, able to tell at a glance whether they contained divine materials.
During this time, he personally excavated many spiritual objects, rare in the world. It had to be said that the Big Dipper Star Domain contained immense vitality and wondrous things.
On the Eternal Main Star, when extracting Evolution Liquid, the great powers had to travel many light-years away, entering numerous star domains, just to barely gather the necessary ingredients.
The Big Dipper Life Source Land had never refined Evolution Liquid before, so the required minerals had been preserved, allowing them to be on the verge of success.
"What? A piece of Water Marrow Mother was hijacked?" Black Emperor roared upon hearing this.
Heavenly Village erupted in chaos. Everyone was furious. They had paid a great price—that Water Marrow Mother was exchanged for Great Luo Silver Essence—and someone had intercepted it midway. Truly hateful.
Extracting Evolution Liquid required many special divine auxiliary ingredients, four of which were indispensable: Earth Dragon Powder, Fire God Stone, Wind Bone Wood, and Water Marrow Mother.
These few were very difficult to replace with other things. Holy Prince had visited a major Primeval Royal Clan, preparing to exchange it for Great Luo Silver Essence from Heavenly Village's reserves. The other party reluctantly agreed.
Then Holy Prince rushed off to his next destination. But when Heavenly Village's people went to make the exchange, they were intercepted on the way and had the Water Marrow Mother stolen.
"It was Fire Qilin Cave's people. Now several major ancient clans have also learned about the Evolution Liquid from captives. They're active everywhere. They had also gone to that Royal Clan to exchange, but were too late, so they made a move against us."
Upon learning the situation, Holy Prince was enraged and prepared to act. At this time, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and others had just returned from outside. After hearing this, they immediately agreed—they would make the other party pay. A group of them charged out.
Soon after, Ye Fan and Ji Zi also disappeared.
It had to be said, the monkey had a fiery temper. Even if Fire Qilin Cave was an ancient Imperial Clan, bullying them like this was enough to make him jump in anger.
Holy Prince made his move all the way, intercepting everyone from Fire Qilin Cave who was out purchasing minerals, taking all their minerals. Tit for tat.
"Holy Prince, you've gone too far! Treating my Fire Qilin Cave like this—aren't you afraid of provoking serious consequences?" Fire Qilin Cave's people were also anxious, not hesitating to draw weapons.
"Return my Water Marrow Mother, or don't blame me for starting a massacre."
"Water Marrow Mother? There must be some misunderstanding here."
A Half-Saint from Fire Qilin Cave was startled and went to inquire among his own people.
However, the final battle could not be avoided. There might have been some misunderstanding, but when the Ancient Imperial Prince—Huo Qizi—received the news, he personally declared that he would absolutely not return it, because the monkey had also taken some of their divine materials.
Li Heishui was immediately anxious. The minerals they had later seized couldn't compare to the Water Marrow Mother at all. That was an indispensable divine material, extremely critical.
"Tell them, they injured so many of our people. I said I won't return it, so I won't!" Huo Qizi made this decision in Fire Qilin Cave.
Just as the various Primeval Royal Clans were preparing to counterattack the Eternal Main Star, because of the Evolution Liquid issue, small-scale battles and chaos had begun!
The Evolution Liquid was destined to trigger a great upheaval!
Holy Prince was naturally furious, feeling that Huo Qizi was pushing things too far. He began intercepting Fire Qilin Cave's people on the road, plundering divine minerals on a large scale.
"Holy Prince, since you consider the Water Marrow Mother so precious, can we purchase it at a high price?" A Saint from Fire Qilin Cave was alarmed.
Although Fire Qilin Cave was an ancient Imperial Clan, they didn't want to provoke the Battle-Saint Ape lineage, after all, that old monkey was still alive, too terrifying.
However, Huo Qizi and Holy Prince had a grudge, stemming from that battle years ago when the Celestial Prince was slain. Huo Qizi and others who had helped the Eight Divine Generals' side at that time felt humiliated.
Over the years, both sides had harbored a desire for battle—not involving their respective Imperial Clan foundations, but a battle between Ancient Imperial Princes, to see who was stronger!
But this was not what the Battle Victory Buddha and Fire Qilin Cave's elder generation wanted to see, so things had remained relatively peaceful, though the two princes always wanted to clash.
Now, Huo Qizi making such a decision naturally angered Holy Prince, clearly intending to escalate into a confrontation, a true battle.
However, Huo Qizi underestimated the monkey's fury. Holy Prince didn't wait for a duel with him; he directly and decisively launched a large-scale attack.
Yes, at this moment, Holy Prince was challenging a Saint!
"Let Huo Qizi come! Otherwise, don't block my path. So what if you're a Saint? I'm not afraid of you!" the monkey roared.
The Saint before him, presuming on his status as Imperial Clan, was somewhat arrogant toward him. Though still speaking kindly, there was no lack of threat in his words.
"Holy Prince, harmony is precious in all things. Now that the Battle Victory Buddha is advanced in years, perhaps he will soon sit in meditation and pass away. I think he would also hope for peaceful coexistence between you and my clan."
Huo Yunsheng was an Ancient Saint of considerable cultivation, hailing from Fire Qilin Cave. As a member of the Imperial Clan, although the Ancient Emperor's blood had long thinned by his generation, it still made his status extraordinary.
"If you want peaceful coexistence, why did you steal my Water Marrow Mother? Seeing that my uncle is advanced in years, are you bullying my Battle-Saint Ape lineage for having no one?" The monkey was fierce. The other's words carried barbs, making him unable to resist a battle.
"This was said by the prince himself. I never said such a thing. Take a step back and the sky is vast. Isn't it just a piece of Water Marrow Mother? I think the prince wouldn't want to go to war over this, would he? The Victory Buddha's years are truly not few. He certainly hopes for harmony between our two Imperial Clans. Perhaps in a few years, the Saint Ape lineage will have only you left. Ah, I'm someone who likes to speak the truth. Prince, don't take offense."
This battle was naturally unavoidable. Holy Prince was not reckless; he came prepared. His true body entered an Ancient Sacred Mech and engaged Huo Yunsheng in battle.
"Prince has such an ancient sacred war tool. No wonder you're so emboldened. But for a true Saint, this still falls short. Now, the whole world knows the Victory Buddha cannot be provoked. Naturally, I dare not offend him either. I'll just capture the prince and send him back to Mount Sumeru to settle the matter." Huo Yunsheng said.
"Aren't you just looking for an excuse to break my Dao heart? Come and try!" Holy Prince sneered.
Li Heishui, Dongfang Ye, and others watched the battle, not anxious, their expressions calm. Because when they left Heavenly Village, although the monkey was angry, he wasn't reckless. He had already informed Ye Fan and Ji Zi.
Huo Yunsheng's gaze was cold, a strange look appearing in his eyes. Because Holy Prince, inside the Ancient Sacred Mech, was divinely brave and unstoppable, shocking him greatly. He couldn't subdue him quickly.
He had originally wanted to defeat the monkey soundly. Although he didn't dare to do it too obviously, he could still make him taste the bitterness of defeat, affecting his Dao heart. But he never expected such difficulty.
Boom!
Suddenly, two powerful fluctuations appeared on the battlefield, charging forward together to kill Huo Yunsheng horizontally.
Ye Fan and Ji Zi appeared, both entering Ancient Sacred Mechs. One had five-colored divine radiance swirling behind him, the other treated void as if it didn't exist, launching lethal strikes from the start.
The three experts, all inside ancient sacred war tools, had their strength skyrocketing, all reaching the Saint level.
Even though Huo Yunsheng had diluted Ancient Emperor blood, he couldn't withstand them at all. He roared repeatedly, and before long, half his body was blasted apart by the monkey's fist.
Blood light flashed. Ji Zi appeared inexplicably, ignoring distance and space, and cut off his head.
Pfft!
Ye Fan, with five-colored divine radiance swirling behind him and chaotic qi shrouding, unleashed five divine swords that chopped down, shredding his physical body into a mist of blood. (To be continued.)
