# Chapter 1202: Hidden Foundations
"I think you, this neither-human-nor-ghost old dog, should just go kill yourself!" The Dragon Horse, facing this Killing Sage who looked down on them, let out crude words directly.
The Big Black Dog didn't like hearing that, glaring angrily and retorting, "Nonsense, he's worse than dog shit!"
"That's right, he talks big, wanting us to kill ourselves. Old thing still hasn't woken up yet, go die yourself!" The Dragon Horse shouted.
Facing two such crude fellows, even a god would have their face twitching—what insulting words wouldn't they dare say?
Swish!
A beam of killing light swept over, horizontally cutting through thousands of troops, enveloping both the Big Black Dog and the Dragon Horse beneath it. The Killing Sage of the Mortal World made his move with a dark face.
Clang!
The Holy Prince struck out, the pitch-black iron great staff in his hand actually colliding with the Sage, emitting brilliant light. Though he was pushed back, it wasn't impossible to contend.
One must know, this was a Killing Sage, with boundless dharma power, specializing in killing Sages, having established a fearsome reputation!
The Killing Sage of the Mortal World failed in his first strike and immediately vanished from the spot, merging into the void. At the same time, boundless killing intent shook the four directions.
"Pfft"
The Dragon Horse immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The Big Black Dog also shuddered, standing upright on two hind legs, retreating while treading the Stride Art.
"I gave you the chance to kill yourselves. Since you didn't take it well, then I'll send you on your way one by one!" The Killing Sage of the Mortal World said coldly.
He still maintained a lofty posture, looking down on everyone, treating them like ants and insects, not considering them opponents, wanting to eliminate them with a wave of his hand.
"Old executioner, your end has come!" Ye Fan's body blazed, transforming into the Indestructible Golden Body as he charged forward. His gaze pierced through the void, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist intent invincible, shattering all things!
Between heaven and earth, it was as if golden lightning bolts were dancing. Ye Fan exchanged several fierce punches with the Killing Sage, emitting blinding light.
"Your strength is considerable, able to clash with me. I believe you are all outstanding talents, unprecedented geniuses through the ages. But what of it?" The Killing Sage of the Mortal World sneered in the darkness, saying, "You were born five hundred years too late. I won't give you the chance to grow. Today, I will strangle geniuses, carry out the act of extermination, and let you die in the cradle!"
"Old undying, you talk too much. Take my staff!" The Holy Prince roared, shaking heaven and earth. The black divine iron swept across the universe, pressing down until the chaotic immortal soil split apart, striking toward the Killing Sage.
Swish
A beam of killing light shot over, grazing past the black iron staff, leaving a blood blossom on the monkey's shoulder.
Ji Zi also made his move, silent, his body merging into the void. The Great Split Slash unfolded, producing sounds like a universe exploding, forcibly forcing the Killing Sage out of nothingness.
However, a Killing Sage was ultimately a Killing Sage, one who could specialize in killing other Sages. Ji Zi was struck by a sword light, half his body covered in blood.
Ye Fan charged forward, displaying all his wondrous techniques. His fists roared with wind and thunder, golden electric light flashing in streaks, as if he were a lightning divine fist, evolving the true meaning of the Six Paths.
Bloodstains covered his fists, but he didn't care, still stubbornly locked in combat, battling the old Killing Sage.
"This old thing is really troublesome. No wonder the legends say he was born specifically to kill Sages. Let's all go together and fight him to the death!" The Big Black Dog shouted.
As it roared, a vertical eye on its forehead shot out streaks of black light that could break through Sage defenses, posing a serious threat to the old Killing Sage.
"Damn... could this old fellow have advanced to Sage King?" The Dragon Horse thought of a terrifying possibility.
"Impossible, let's all go up and destroy him!" Dongfang Ye roared, charging forward while piloting the Ancient Sacred Mech.
They knew that Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Holy Prince still had enough confidence because they hadn't truly undergone tribulation yet. Only when they received heaven and earth's verification would their strength truly be in place for a decisive battle!
"Kill, grind him down!" Li Tian screamed strangely, also piloting the Ancient Sacred Battle Array tool to the front, both hands holding a purple spear that pierced through the void, aimed at the revealed Killing Sage's back.
Bang
The Killing Sage of the Mortal World curled his lips into a merciless cold smile, enveloping everyone in killing light. He moved unpredictably, disappearing from time to time.
Finally, Yan Yixi, Old Knife Handle, and Yao Yuekong all charged forward piloting Ancient Sacred Mechs. This group of people battled this fearsome Killing Sage.
Such was the power of a Killing Sage. Even with all these people joining forces to surround and kill him, they couldn't take him down in a short time. His combat experience was too rich and terrifying.
On the other side, Qi Luo and the Killing Sage of Hell had also reached a white-hot stage, appearing and disappearing between heaven and earth, holding terrifying Sacred Artifacts in fierce collision. This was a clash of divine principles, an impact of the Great Dao, accompanied by heavenly Dao thunder.
"All of you will die!" The Killing Sage of the Mortal World spoke while battling the group, appearing left and right, impossible to guard against.
Ye Fan's heart gave a warning sign. He transmitted secretly, "Be careful. He's holding us back, perhaps a third Killing Sage will appear!"
He felt the old Killing Sage was using their youthful, competitive psychology to drag everyone down, giving the third Killing Sage a chance to assassinate.
"Pfft"
The terrible premonition came true. The two Divine Dynasties had actually produced a third Sage. Qi Luo nearly met his end, suffering an assassination attempt.
That strike was like a startling immortal from beyond the domain—sharp and terrifying, brilliant and dazzling. It pierced from Qi Luo's shoulder into his body cavity, only a hair's breadth away from piercing through his crown.
"Pfft"
The Dragon Horse was nearly split in two, blood flowing profusely. After severely wounding Qi Luo, this Killing Sage swept toward this area, and Li Tian's mech was also torn open.
The hidden foundations of the Mortal World and Hell hadn't been lost? Everyone's hearts sank.
"Those who attack our Divine Dynasties, die!" The Killing Sage of the Mortal World laughed cruelly.
"All of you, retreat!" Ye Fan secretly transmitted.
At the same time, the third Killing Sage appeared, startling everyone. It was actually a snow-white skeleton, holding a killing sword, light radiating in all directions.
"This is a puppet Killing Sage assembled from the bones of your ancestors... Divine fire has been born in the skull..."
Everyone's hearts turned cold. This was a troublesome existence, equivalent to a Killing Sage, carrying the killing thoughts and will of the ancient Divine Dynasties.
Dongfang Ye, Yan Yixi, the Dragon Horse, Black Emperor, and the others all decisively retreated. They knew what Ye Fan and the Holy Prince wanted to do—weren't they just waiting for this moment?
Qi Luo and the Killing Sage of Hell fought a life-and-death battle, locked in an inextricable struggle, both paying heavy prices.
Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Holy Prince wore cold expressions, advancing together to surround them. Facing the Killing Sage of the Mortal World and that white bone, they erupted with dazzling light at the first moment.
They chose to undergo tribulation simultaneously, launching their attack in this chaotic immortal soil. How many people in this world could control their own heavenly tribulation? Most underwent it passively.
Now, three Emperor Son-level figures all triggered heavenly punishment, like a myth, causing both friend and foe to change color, cold air rising in their hearts.
Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Holy Prince pounced forward, trapping the two Killing Sages in the middle, fiercely attacking, forcing them to undergo tribulation along with them.
This was a great calamity. Boundless lightning descended from the sky, wildly bombarding this place. It was immediately flooded by an ocean of electricity, and the roars of the Killing Sages could be heard.
The Killing Sage fighting Qi Luo turned pale. With such a heavenly tribulation descending, he felt his old partner and that bone Sage were in grave danger.
Boom!
The vast heavenly tribulation fell from the sky, excessively ferocious. This wasn't streaks of lightning—it was an entire ocean, blazing and dazzling.
"Ah..."
Many assassins screamed, turning to ash. Originally hidden in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment, they now became tribulation ash.
The Killing Sage of the Mortal World and that white bone roared, trying to charge outward. But Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Holy Prince locked onto them, following like shadows, making them undergo tribulation together.
This was a killing calamity. Both Sages were struck until their skin split open, suffering unbearably, howling without cease.
Heaven and earth boiled. As soon as the thunder tribulation appeared, it blasted this place full of holes, on the verge of collapse.
People were shocked to discover that many killing arrays and Dao marks around them all lit up, resisting the tribulation light. All were at the Sage level.
These were originally fearsome formations prepared to bury Qi Luo and Ye Fan, but now they had become sacred power resisting the heavenly tribulation.
"Old thing, I'll send you on your way!" The Holy Prince was awe-inspiring within the tribulation, holding his great staff as he struck toward the Killing Sage of the Mortal World.
"Scram..."
Ji Zi was also very direct. His Void Art was inexhaustible, combined with the heavenly tribulation, drowning that white bone, letting it suffer repeated heavy blows.
Behind Ye Fan, five divine swords wheeled down, five-colored divine light rushing to the heavens, carrying surging thunder and lightning, striking the ancient Sage of the Mortal World.
In the blinding light, the Killing Sage of the Mortal World was wretched, hair disheveled, looking like an evil ghost, eyes bloodshot.
He endured the attacks of three experts, constantly struck by lightning until his bones were exposed. In the thunder light, even his life-slaying grand arts were useless. This was the judgment of heaven and earth, requiring absolute strength to resist.
In the distance, the people of the Holy Lands felt their hair stand on end. The battle had evolved to this point, filling them with lingering fear. If they had been drawn in, they would surely have died.
Everyone hid far away, afraid of being touched. This time, due to their ancestors' bones being hidden here, each sect had mobilized some of their strength.
But very few had truly used their hidden foundations. Most were perfunctory. In the current environment, preserving strength was the best choice.
The Great Extension Holy Land had put in some effort, but unfortunately, their Sage-level puppets had all been cut down by the Assassin Divine Dynasties, suffering heavy losses.
"Juniors, do you really think this can topple the two Divine Dynasties? Naive to the point of death. Everyone who came to invade will die!"
In the thunder sea, the Killing Sage of the Mortal World's body was split open, flesh and blood flying, howling like a fierce ghost.
Similarly, in the thunder, Ye Fan and the others weren't having an easy time either. Blood occasionally splattered. A great tribulation at the Sage level—no one could pass through it easily. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a heavenly tribulation.
"Old fellow, your end has come!" Ye Fan charged forward. His physical body was extremely tough, the Indestructible Golden Body. Though injured, his origin wasn't harmed.
Ye Fan, the Holy Prince, and Ji Zi attacked together, focusing on this Killing Sage, making him suffer the most terrible tribulation punishment. Triple layers of tribulation bore down, and his body was shattered several times.
At the same time, the other skeleton was even more terrified. It was a dead thing that had gained life, and now facing this pure yang electric light, it trembled with fear. The divine fire in its skull could be extinguished at any moment.
"Fellow Daoists, please come out. Kill the enemies together, destroy all the invaders, and plan for the great undertaking..." The Killing Sage of the Mortal World transmitted secretly. He really couldn't hold on any longer.
Boom!
Several terrifying auras surged up. The universe was about to collapse. There were actually more Killing Sages!
"The hidden foundations of the Mortal World and Hell have been preserved... all of them are here!" Everyone changed color, hearts trembling.
"Please, seniors, make your move!" Ye Fan's eyes flickered with light.
Wei Yi, the First Great Bandit of the Northern Domain, the old Sage of the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion, and the Sage of the Ji Family all appeared, ready to destroy the last Divine Dynasties.
"We weren't afraid of you not appearing. We were afraid you wouldn't come. We've been waiting!" In the thunder tribulation, the Killing Sage of the Mortal World shouted viciously. (To be continued.)
