# Chapter 1199: Mortal World
The divine spirit small world was collapsing. The array imprints containing the power of ancient great sages spread out ripples that made gods weep and immortals tremble, demons wail and ghosts howl—a terrifying shock to the world.
Several people were covered in blood. Without the Green Cauldron, they would have long since been torn apart and fallen.
The Divine Maiden Furnace was unharmed because it was a great sage-level artifact, but since the group hadn't reached that level, even being inside it couldn't fully withstand this level of great sage impact.
"They're all dead..." The Dragon Horse had bloodstains mottled across its body. When it looked back, it found that all five to six hundred people from the various holy lands had been completely wiped out—not a single one survived.
Although Ye Fan had taken out the Green Cauldron, the range of its green light was limited. It wasn't a large-scale confrontation, but rather an instinctive self-protection.
Aside from Ji Zi, the Holy Prince, Black Emperor, Qi Luo, and others, even the saint-level cosmic mothership was half-destroyed. Li Heishui coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
In this battle, seven or eight damaged saint weapons were destroyed. They simply couldn't resist that kind of heavenly might. Once the ancient great sage's formation was activated, it could sever the moon and split stars. Even multiple saints joining forces could only end in regret.
Everyone fell silent. Hell was truly ruthless—they didn't hesitate to destroy the rarely seen divine spirit small world. This was a trap specifically set for the multiple saints who had come to attack, including Wei Yi of the Celestial Pivot Stone Workshop and the old master of the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion.
"Ah..." A few individuals from the holy lands still had faint divine consciousness, but they were about to dissipate. Their blood and bones had already turned to mud, and they wailed with their dying thoughts.
"Our forms and spirits are destroyed..." Terrified cries of grief changed nothing.
This place had become a true hell. The entire small world was destroyed, the great sage formation collapsed, and the last sounds were scattered by the remaining shockwaves.
"Boom!"
The Killing Sage offered up the Divine Maiden Furnace. Its entire body blazed brilliantly, light ripples shimmering, wiping away the last traces of the killing formation. The place returned to tranquility.
The great army of the holy lands was completely annihilated!
Hell was ruthless and decisive. They abandoned their ancient, unchanging nest—the first time anyone had ever attacked their doorstep—and directly detonated the place.
The only fortunate thing was that only Ye Fan and a few other key individuals had entered, not bringing any descendants from Heavenly Village. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Kill them all! Hell and Mortal World must be destroyed. They dared to scheme against this emperor? Their lair has been discovered—let's see where they can flee!" Black Emperor bared his teeth, wiping the blood from his body.
"To Mortal World!" Ye Fan said. The group tore through the void, stepped into the domain gate, and rushed toward another ancestral land of assassins.
In the latter half of the night, the moonlight was gentle, casting its radiance down like falling blossoms. A thin white mist covered the earth, plain and tranquil.
A mountain village lay quiet, backed by a range of low hills. Houses stood in orderly rows, mulberry groves stretched in patches, bamboo forests were deep and verdant. In front of the village, fertile farmland spread out, crisscrossed by paths.
This was a small mountain village. Occasionally one could hear chickens and dogs, frogs croaking in fish ponds. Though there were insect sounds, it all seemed peaceful and serene.
For so many tens of thousands of years, no one had known that Mortal World was hidden in this rural paradise. The entrance was a dry well outside the village.
At this moment, a vast army stood like a steel forest, motionless, having long since sealed off the area. Several saints hid in the shadows, silent, blocking the way.
When Ye Fan, the Holy Prince, and the others went to Hell, another group from the holy lands had already arrived here, including the old saint of the Ji Family who had been sealed until now.
Surprisingly, Jiang Yifei, the current saint lord of the Jiang Family, had come in person. He rode a golden roar, treading on moonlight. He was elegant and refined, transcendent and otherworldly.
On the other side, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi stood in white robes, like a fairy walking on ripples. Under the moonlight, she was pure and ethereal, like the master of Guanghan Palace descending to the world.
The people of Heavenly Village had concentrated their main force at Hell, while the holy lands had concentrated theirs here. Now they joined forces.
Additionally, the saint lord of the Grand Extension Holy Land had come in person. Some heavyweight figures had finally arrived.
The Holy Maiden of Zi Mansion had also emerged from seclusion. As an Innate Dao Physique, she now seemed to eat no mortal food. Her immortal countenance was flawless, purple qi swirling. Her entire being merged with the Dao. In every movement, she achieved unity of heaven and man, profound and unfathomable. She hadn't fought in so many years that no one knew what level she had reached.
"Those who attacked Hell are all dead..."
When the leaders of the holy lands gathered here heard this, they all furrowed their brows. Although those weren't their elite forces and wouldn't damage their foundations, it was still a considerable setback.
"We have reason to believe that this place is also likely a killing trap." An old saint lord said.
Mortal World and Hell had names that shook the ages. The whole world feared them. As long as their nests weren't destroyed and their heritage continued, even if they declined, they would one day return.
Now, they were no longer at their peak. Generally speaking, they were in a period of weakness, but they still weren't something ordinary major powers could shake.
Everyone furrowed their brows. If tonight's efforts were fruitless, then for a long time to come, everyone would face terrible assassination attempts. That would be a nightmare.
Two Killing Sages... No matter how tight the defenses, that would be a great disaster. If they weren't eliminated, many people would lose their heads, and even their orthodoxies might be destroyed.
Stepping into the mystic realm of Mortal World, the mountains and rivers inside were beautiful. Rosy clouds steamed between the peaks, like a celestial realm. Various spirit birds and auspicious beasts appeared, not at all like a kingdom of assassins.
The cosmic mothership hung in the sky, forcibly destroying the entrance, expanding the passage countless times. Killing intent erupted as assassins from the divine dynasty counterattacked.
People didn't rush in recklessly. They stood at the periphery, channeling their magical power to sweep across the front. Assassins' blood splattered, light mist steamed, and corpses fell in patches.
"It can be confirmed that the giants here have long since withdrawn." After careful observation, everyone reached this conclusion. It was the same as the defense at Hell—they wanted to provoke fierce resistance, lure people in, and annihilate them all.
"What do we do?" Everyone was anxious. If they didn't destroy these two holy lands, they would face a nightmare in the future!
Whether it was the elegant Jiang Yifei or the ethereally beautiful Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, all furrowed their brows. This made everyone uneasy.
"Let me try. I'll use my innate connection to primordial qi to see if I can perceive some special situation." The Holy Maiden of Zi Mansion said. She sat down cross-legged, using her innate divine art to merge with this great Dao, connecting with the entire divine spirit small world.
The Innate Dao Physique was extremely mysterious, the same constitution as the Western Emperor. Legends said that Emperor Wu Shi's mother also had this constitution—terrifying and boundless.
They were naturally close to the Great Dao and could spy on all the secrets of heaven and earth!
Everyone hoped for success. They stopped attacking, protected her in the center, and waited quietly.
The Holy Maiden of Zi Mansion had bright eyes and a beautiful smile. She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling. Her body was translucent like white jade, emitting a crystalline luster. Strands of Dao light shot out, merging into this mystic realm.
Heaven and earth intermingled. She became the sole focus in the radiance, hazy and holy. The vicissitudes of the ancient Great Dao all came to merge with her, mysterious beyond compare.
At this moment, the Dao followed nature. She became the embodiment of the Great Dao, evolving all the secrets here, trying to recreate the scenes of the past.
Seeing this, Ye Fan also sat down cross-legged. He activated the ancient method recorded in the "Veda Sutra" obtained from the other shore of the starry sky, reversing time and tracing back to the origin, also trying to recreate the scenes of the past.
Sacred Dao ripples spread. The Sacred Body and the Dao Physique actually resonated with each other, mutually promoting, causing the heavenly Dao to instantly fully descend, drowning the two of them.
Everyone was greatly surprised, all showing strange expressions.
Black Emperor had been resentful just moments ago, but now he was extremely excited, whispering hoarsely: "Innate Sacred Body Dao Physique, let the one like Emperor Wu Shi appear again!"
Boom!
With a final tremor, Ye Fan and the Holy Maiden of Zi Mansion, whose body was as pure as jade, both opened their eyes, showing shocked expressions. The Great Dao was traceless, long since severed. This place had left nothing behind.
They couldn't detect anything. The Killing Sage of Mortal World had done a clean job, cutting off all traces of the past!
What to do? Some holy lands were filled with regret. After this battle, there would surely be a great calamity. How could they face the wrath of two Killing Sages? Even if they mobilized their foundations, facing Killing Sages would be fraught with danger—these were demons born for killing.
"What can be done!?"
"In the future, there will be no shortage of bloody battles. Who knows how many will die. If we can't destroy the two divine dynasties, we'll face their endless revenge."
"Damn it, why is it like this!"
People were worried and fearful, clenching their fists, pacing back and forth. There was no solution. Regret was useless.
Ye Fan stood up and looked at Qi Luo. "I'll go in and bring it out intact."
The Killing Sage Qi Luo nodded. "Be careful. Although there's no Killing Sage stationed here, you still need to be cautious. If you touch a great sage-level formation, nothing will be left of this place."
"What are you talking about? Is there still a way?" Everyone was astonished, looking over together.
"That's right. The ancient divine dynasty must be destroyed!" Ye Fan nodded.
He walked into the distance. The saint of the Ji Family, Wei Yi, Qi Luo, the old master of the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion, the number one great bandit of the Northern Domain, and others all came forward.
Ye Fan took out a damaged Green Cauldron. He stepped inside and sat down cross-legged. He asked the several saints to act, offering up this cauldron to blast him deep into the divine spirit small world.
In the distance, everyone was shocked. The people of the holy lands all looked at the ancient cauldron, covered in rust and looking like scrap metal. For a moment, no one could speak.
"This is... back then..."
"The biggest winner from the ancestral land of the Feather Transformation Divine Dynasty... it's him!"
Back then, even the ancient kings of the various clans and the orthodoxies of the various emperors had been alarmed. The whole world was shaken. They went to the dragon vein of Central Province to compete for the Immortal Cauldron, but it ended inconclusively. Now it appeared in Ye Fan's hands.
Many people's eyes burned with desire. Their hearts stirred greatly, but they didn't dare show anything. Who could kill the Sacred Body now? Trying to take it from him would be very difficult.
This cauldron actually required so many people to jointly activate it. People were stunned speechless.
Swish!
A faint green light flashed. The copper cauldron carried Ye Fan straight through, faster than lightning. Vaguely, one could feel the power of time reversing. The entire space seemed to be reshaping—too terrifying and strange.
The ancient sage formation tried to block it, but the cauldron penetrated through, overcoming the prohibitions, forcibly creating a terrifying hole and breaking through.
Everyone was shaken!
After a long time, someone finally asked: How exactly did they find the two divine dynasties?
The Killing Sage Qi Luo was silent. A look of grief appeared on his face. He slowly walked into the distance, his back desolate, as if he had suddenly aged a thousand years.
Old Knife Handle followed, supporting his grandfather.
An old man from Heavenly Village sighed and revealed the hidden story.
The Killing Sage Qi Luo had seven children. Countless years ago, he had sent them separately into the small outposts of Hell and Mortal World, just to find the important sites of the two divine dynasties, and then grope their way into the ultimate ancient halls.
What happened in between, no one knew. Over this long period, people from Heavenly Village had seen Qi Luo cry bitterly five or six times, each time heartbroken to the extreme.
In the end, Qi Luo adopted a grandson, Old Knife Handle, to keep by his side. Others thought he was his biological grandson. Needless to say, his own children had all died.
If his seven children were alive now, they should have had many descendants surrounding the Killing Sage. But in the end, he was left alone.
"My last uncle endured for over two thousand years. Two years ago, he successfully entered the most ancient hall of Mortal World, but not long after, he also died." Old Knife Handle said.
The ancestral lands of Mortal World and Hell were discovered thanks to this person's efforts.
After Heavenly Court was destroyed, only two or three small fry survived. It wasn't until Qi Luo's generation that things improved and some vitality was restored.
They had been weak for too long. Previous generations had exhausted their efforts just to find one or two small outposts. Qi Luo endured the pain, having all his own children find ways to infiltrate. After such a long time, they finally broke into the highest ancient halls.
"My last child... succeeded. He wasn't exposed, but he was sent to excavate a place, and everyone who went with him was silenced."
Qi Luo said indifferently, but in the depths of his eyes was endless grief.
Father and son shared blood. They had a secret art that allowed brief telepathic connection before death. Two years ago, when his youngest son's soul was about to break, he bloodily transmitted a set of strange coordinates to him. But his soul power was too weak; he couldn't finish telling everything. In the end, he indicated that it was engraved in a place within Mortal World, where it could be found.
"Mortal World and Hell joined forces to carve out a heavenly domain. After excavating it, they silenced all the participants." This was Qi Luo's judgment.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the divine spirit small world of Mortal World underwent a great collapse. The ancient great sage formation revived. The whole world shook, strangling all things, destroying everything in the world.
Everyone retreated. Ye Fan drove the Green Cauldron and rushed out.
"How was it?" Everyone rushed up, surrounding him, asking anxiously.
"Success. I found the coordinates of a heavenly domain!" Ye Fan answered.
Hearing this, the Killing Sage Qi Luo could no longer hold back. Turbid old tears rolled down. His body trembled, a mix of relief and endless grief.
He murmured only two words: "My child..."
A cold wind blew. Mist swirled in the air. Everyone cheered. This meant the two divine dynasties might be completely destroyed.
Everyone had roughly guessed it. The people of the assassin divine dynasties must have hidden in that heavenly domain, abandoning their ancient nests to lie low.
At this moment, only Qi Luo was desolate. For a long time, he couldn't speak a word. His body trembled slightly as he looked up at the sky, letting old tears fall.
Old Knife Handle stepped forward to support him. He couldn't say anything, only accompanying him.
"Senior, let's go destroy these two divine dynasties!" Ye Fan said. At this moment, words were useless. Only completely eliminating the enemy would be the greatest comfort to him.
"Charge! Kill them all, leave not a single one!"
"Attack! Head for that heavenly domain, sweep it clean. Let the two ancient divine dynasties become history, dissipate into smoke tonight!"
People roared.
The array platform had already been set up. The domain gate had already been opened. Everyone set out, rushing toward that heavenly domain.
This was an ancient land, actually outside the domain. Chaotic qi swirled around it, detached from the ground of the ancient star. Being able to discover it was far too difficult...
*Sigh, I got a phone call and have to go out. Tonight I can only do one chapter. Originally, I updated early today and thought the second chapter would also be early. Dizzy.*
*Chen Dong, like everyone else, has many things in real life. These things are unavoidable. Please forgive me!*
