# Chapter 1474: Battle Against a Great Sage
Golden clouds filled the sky, piercing through the clouds. If this city were not protected by a rare ancient formation, it would have shattered into pieces.
Centered here, layer upon layer of ripples appeared, rising from the ancient city walls, lifting from the ground, interweaving in the void, transforming into city-protecting divine patterns.
It was precisely these ancient carved patterns that prevented a catastrophic disaster from occurring!
Ye Fan and Liu Feng engaged in battle. From the very first clash, the most brilliant sparks burst forth, like a magnificent rain of fireworks blooming—dazzling and beautiful. Yet this power was devastating, capable of slaughtering countless beings.
Their exchange was too fast. Ye Fan's fists, Liu Feng's secret techniques—they collided in the void, a confrontation of strands of order divine chains, accompanied by scenes resembling the creation of heaven and earth.
Finally, they rushed past each other, occupying two separate skies. Both turned back to gaze at their opponent. Their eyes, like small suns, shot out needle-like beams of light, exceptionally intimidating.
The two faced off, cold and hostile.
Many people's hearts pounded wildly. This was truly a rare battle—a Saint King at the ninth heaven's peak dueling a Great Sage, an event unseen for many years.
"Weng long"
The next moment, they crashed together again, faster than two bolts of lightning. Liu Feng opened his mouth and spat out a seal—a law woven from order, dazzling and brilliant, flying forward.
Heaven trembled, earth quaked, as if a great cosmic destruction was occurring. The four directions were unstable. Earth, fire, wind, and water appeared simultaneously, wanting to reopen the world. Chaotic mist danced.
The two retreated again, neither gaining any advantage—evenly matched.
The crowd was shaken. How powerful was the Human Sacred Body? Could he truly contend with a Great Sage? This was almost unimaginable.
One must know that between a Saint King and a Great Sage lay a barrier, known as a heavenly moat and chasm, difficult to cross. Since ancient times, aside from those in the Divine Seal state, only a few individuals could break through it.
Even if you cultivated to the absolute peak of the ninth heaven, even if you were only a thread away from breaking into the Great Sage realm, you would still be suppressed here, forcibly lowered by a head, unable to fight across realms.
Of course, there were definitely exceptions. Some special races, like the Sacred Spirit lineage, and some of the most stunning supreme prodigies, could go against the world and break through this barrier.
Without a doubt, Ye Fan had broken through, shocking everyone.
This was also within reason. Not only was his bloodline power formidable, but there were also rumors that he stood in the forbidden domain, looking down on all heroes, possessing absolute capital to be proud of.
Liu Feng's expression was cold and stern. Like a fire phoenix, chains clanked incessantly all over his body. Upon closer inspection, every pore had a crimson order divine chain, clattering and trembling.
Flames blazed. He walked forward step by step, truly like a reborn immortal phoenix. His aura instantly became several times stronger than before.
"If you only have this much combat power, you disappoint me greatly," Liu Feng said indifferently.
The crowd was terrified. Their muscles and bones felt like they were about to crack. The Great Sage's aura spread, rushing out like a flood. The four directions of the heavens trembled together. Was this his true strength?
Ye Fan remained silent, focusing on his opponent. He was very powerful, but facing a Great Sage, he could not be distracted. After all, a barrier stood between them, restricting even heavenly prodigies and outstanding talents.
Hong long!
Liu Feng advanced. His true body shattered the sky. He was like a deity. This world seemed unable to contain his true form, capable of igniting and destroying the entire universe.
He transformed his body into an immortal phoenix, dancing through the nine heavens, covering Ye Fan below, continuously pressing down. This was a Great Sage's powerful physical suppression!
Ye Fan felt tremendous pressure. His body kept sinking. His hands struck the heavens, resisting the fire phoenix above, until he landed on the ground, stepping on the city's bluestone pavement.
"Ka cha"
The bluestone floor made a crisp sound, but soon array patterns spread out. This was an ancient supreme formation activating, blocking Ye Fan's downward momentum.
Liu Feng above continued pressing down, intending to use powerful dharma power to crush Ye Fan into meat paste, suppressing him to death here. This was pure realm and dao practice suppression.
Ye Fan's body tensed, resisting with all his might. This was his first time exchanging blows with a Great Sage. Previously, when encountering someone of this realm, the only option was to retreat.
Suddenly, a wisp of golden blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, very faint, unseen by outsiders. But Liu Feng saw it clearly and immediately smiled faintly.
"How many outstanding talents there are! But if you cannot pass through the Great Sage barrier, you are nothing. No matter how talented you are in the early stages, it's useless. In the end, you become dust."
Ye Fan paid no attention. This was his dao injury, sometimes flaring up. It didn't affect his combat power, only occasionally letting out a few traces of blood, which wasn't a big deal.
Liu Feng naturally didn't know this. Thinking Ye Fan was already injured, he became more composed. Dark red order divine chains danced all over his body, like a phoenix spreading its feathers, clanging as they continuously suppressed downward.
Ye Fan felt immense pressure. After all, a genius Great Sage was making his move. The threat to him was still significant. He had to take it seriously.
With a loud crash, Liu Feng descended. Ye Fan's feet sank deep into the bluestone slabs, leaving two terrifying foot holes. When Liu Feng pressed down for the fifth time, Ye Fan's knees were completely submerged in the stone slabs, unable to sink further.
Because below was the formation's foundation, blocking all pressure and supporting his feet.
Many who saw this couldn't help but sigh. Even if the Great Sage barrier was broken through, it still suppressed a large portion of power, making it difficult to achieve true cross-realm combat.
Moreover, this Great Sage was a person of heavenly talent, himself a heaven-defying genius on the path of cultivation. Now he was even more terrifying.
Everyone watched silently, thinking Ye Fan was finished. No matter how strong he was, he likely couldn't turn the tide. The suppression of major realm boundaries left one helpless.
Liu Feng was very indifferent, saying, "So-called geniuses count for nothing. In the eyes of us Great Sages, they are a joke. If you cannot enter this realm, you ultimately become ashes."
He indeed had the qualifications to say this, because Great Sages all fought their way through thousands of troops, crossed the single-plank bridge, experienced everything that so-called geniuses went through, and ultimately took one step further.
"Little uncle, quickly kill him. Keep his primordial spirit's main consciousness and refine it into my magic treasure as a vessel spirit," the ten-something-year-old child called out.
Liu Mingde said indifferently, "It seems I was too cautious, actually inviting several Great Sages. Truly overthinking. Tell me, since ancient times, which Saint King has needed such treatment? Truly using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken."
Hong long!
Suddenly, Ye Fan moved. His body actually pulled out of the stone slabs, rushing upward against the sky, beginning to attack Liu Feng.
This counterattack was too sudden. No one had expected it. Just when it seemed Ye Fan was about to be suppressed, he suddenly erupted, his aura instantly becoming several times stronger.
He attacked Liu Feng head-on. This was the true Heavenly Emperor Fist—balanced and peaceful, grand and majestic. With each swing, amidst the golden light, all the stars in the heavens flickered, as if condensing an entire universe.
This fist force was too great, forcing even Liu Feng to retreat. His body ached. Just the fist wind scraped his flesh, wanting to peel off, leaving traces of blood.
Liu Feng changed expression. This Heavenly Emperor Fist was indeed worthy of its reputation. He had heard of it before but hadn't taken it seriously. Only now, in actual combat, did he understand how terrifying it was.
Ye Fan swung his fist, with the momentum to smash ten thousand miles. With a movement of his arm, he crushed the heavens, causing the ancient city's array patterns to rumble, as if they could not withstand it.
This scene shocked not only Liu Feng but also the Great Sages watching from behind. They were deeply shaken, giving birth to the thought that Ye Fan must be eliminated immediately.
Liu Feng was cautiously on guard, focusing all his attention on Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Fist, afraid of suffering a fatal blow and losing to someone of a lower realm. He never expected that behind Ye Fan, five-colored divine radiance flashed. Five treasured swords spun and slashed forward in unison. He had no way to avoid them.
First, with a pu sound, a spray of blood splashed from his left shoulder. One arm was almost severed. Then, with a ka cha sound, the purple-gold crown binding his hair was cut off, breaking into two halves, leaving him with disheveled hair, looking quite bedraggled.
Behind, the child screamed in surprise. Liu Mingde was even more dumbfounded, a chill running through him.
Fortunately, at this moment, Ye Fan and Liu Feng each rushed to one side, separating. Otherwise, it would have ended in a life-and-death bloodbath.
Liu Feng looked coldly ahead, thinking that Ye Fan had been holding back his strength, waiting for this critical moment to ambush him, almost causing severe injury.
"Sorry, this is my first time fighting a Great Sage. I wasn't quite adapted. It's fine now. I'll see it through to the end," Ye Fan said calmly.
Hearing this, the crowd felt like vomiting blood. He needed to... adapt? What kind of joke was this? They didn't know if he was being sarcastic or showing off.
Such words were definitely false. Most likely, he was gauging the Great Sage's artistic conception, using this to measure the strength of the other ancient Great Sages who hadn't yet acted. Now he had a clear picture.
This sent chills down people's spines. He was only a Saint King, yet he could match Liu Feng. Even if Liu Feng was a newly advanced Great Sage, it was still terrifying enough!
"Heh, Great Sage Liu Feng, didn't you say you could knead us however you wanted? Your scalp was almost shaved off," Dragon Horse said, gloating and unkindly mocking.
Several tufts of Liu Feng's hair had fallen out, leaving him disheveled and quite embarrassed. His face was now ashen.
"In our homeland, this is called a watermelon head," Pang Bo said, explaining in detail for others.
Liu Feng glared at them. Wisps of sharp light shot out, tearing the void, transforming into sword light that slashed over. Ye Fan shifted three thousand zhang horizontally, blocking the front, raising his fist to kill.
"Feng'er, come back!" Liu Mingde shouted. He felt deeply uneasy. Ye Fan's strength was too great, exceeding expectations. He could actually contend with a Great Sage.
Liu Feng paid no attention. His body was covered in dark red divine chains, transforming into an undying phoenix, diving forward. At this moment, his forehead bone glowed, revealing a crimson little figure standing before his brow, shaking a large banner, suppressing forward.
Ye Fan's whole body boiled with golden light. All his divine phenomena unfolded, merging together, transforming into a brilliant radiance, as if freezing time and space. He raised his Heavenly Emperor Fist to kill the enemy.
This was a fierce collision. The two clashed countless times. Secret techniques contended, divine phenomena opposed the Great Sage's dao banner, like two heavens colliding. Fragments of broken dao laws scattered down from time to time.
This confrontation lasted a long time, ending tragically. A wisp of golden blood seeped from the corner of Ye Fan's mouth, while Liu Feng's entire right arm was shattered by a single punch, bone fragments and bloody flesh splattering everywhere.
"Feng'er!"
Enforcer Liu Mingde shouted, his heart turning ruthless. A supreme secret artifact appeared above his head, transforming into the Underworld Nether City, emitting an aura that made all heroes tremble.
This was a supreme treasure, the ancestral artifact of their clan, named Fengdu. Liu Mingde was also called Liu Fengdu because of this artifact. Although not a Great Sage, he was still feared by others.
At the same time, he transmitted a message inviting the two senior Great Sages to act. These two were absolutely undefeatable, far above the Saint King realm, incomparable to newly advanced ones.
Ye Fan had pulled a tiger's whiskers. The moment he wounded Liu Feng, he did not retreat. He transformed into a floating light, entangling himself with Liu Feng, attacking at close range, relentlessly fighting.
The ancestral artifact "Fengdu" pressed down. Heaven crumbled, earth broke. Within the final pass, the densely packed ancient array patterns could barely withstand it.
The two Great Sages' attacks were even more terrifying, charging straight at Ye Fan, wanting to kill him in one blow, giving him no chance.
Ye Fan was truly too fast. Like a flowing light, he dodged. In the sky, a rain of blood appeared. He tore off one of Liu Feng's thighs, nearly splitting him in two, blood pouring everywhere.
People were shocked. This was a Great Sage, yet he had been split by him, severely injured. Moreover, under such attacks, facing such immense pressure, just how terrifying was the Human Sacred Body?
# Chapter 1475: I Come to Uphold the Law
Ye Fan carried a bloody thigh, dodging the "Nether City Fengdu," and in the nick of time evaded the law beams of the two Great Sages. Like a dancer on a blade's edge, he lightly turned and flew through the air.
Blood dripped down like raindrops, dyeing half the sky red. Ye Fan struck Liu Feng horizontally, breaking out of the encirclement, leaving the crowd stunned and speechless.
"Is this real? Liu Feng, a man of divine bearing and sacred bone, has been defeated. His invincible halo has been shattered."
"The Sacred Body is too powerful. He actually defeated a Great Sage. It's simply unbelievable!"
"Like a myth. A Saint King realm attacking a Great Sage and succeeding. The Sacred Body forcefully takes the initiative. This truly makes him invincible in the same realm throughout heaven and earth."
Liu Feng was a Great Sage. Even if newly advanced, his realm was there. Yet the result was that he had been split open, losing half his body, his colorful internal organs spilling all over the ground.
People could hardly believe it. It was too shocking.
This was a bloody battle!
Liu Feng lost part of his body, blood dripping, a miserable sight. He let out low roars, not only from the physical pain but also from the spiritual suffering.
He was a Great Sage, born with extraordinary bone. And so he was split open, nearly dying on the spot. If not for Liu Mingde and the others intervening, he might have fallen.
"Everyone, why not collect the precious blood? This flows from a Great Sage's body. It can be used as medicine. Every drop is dharma liquid. A rare opportunity," Dragon Horse shouted, deliberately mocking Liu Feng.
Liu Feng's features twisted. Enduring the severe pain, he looked this way, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
On the other side, Liu Mingde's heart ached. This was the Liu Clan's number one potential powerhouse, the future pillar supporting the heavens. If anything unexpected happened, nothing could compensate for it.
"Little uncle, are you alright?" The child with the venomous gaze was also scared now, shouting loudly.
Beside them, the two Great Sages' expressions were uncertain. Ye Fan had almost crippled Liu Feng right before their eyes. This speed was beyond reason, too fast.
"It's the Stride Art—the unparalleled supreme technique, involving the domain of time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to evade my strike," Wang Tianyu muttered to himself.
The gray-haired, gray-eyed old man's expression was cold and stern. Silver blood rolled within his body, gradually boiling. A powerful aura slowly spread out, making all the cultivators in the ancient city tremble.
On the other side, Ye Fan stood in the air, still as a heavenly stele, his expression calm. But the thigh he carried in his hand was truly shocking, still dripping blood.
This was a Great Sage's leg. No matter where, it would shock the world. In this era, with no Great Emperors to be seen and Quasi-Emperors hard to find, such figures represented the highest combat power!
"Bang"
Ye Fan refined away the killing intent from the flesh and tossed it out. The ancient golden roc flew across the sky, its golden divine feathers spread wide, radiating light in all directions. It swooped down, snatched the Great Sage's leg, and carried it to a distant heavenly palace to begin tearing it apart.
The crowd gasped, silent as cicadas in winter. How shocking was this? Feeding a fierce bird with a Great Sage's thigh—this was truly horrifying!
"You..." Liu Mingde was furious. This was a great shame for their clan. What did they take them for? Feeding fierce beasts and birds?
Liu Feng could no longer remain calm. He lost his former composure, unable to help but let out a long roar to the heavens, his hatred driving him mad. He was a genius, surrounded by a divine halo since childhood, honored amidst the attention of millions. Yet now he had suffered such a defeat.
The final pass of the human race was filled with killing intent. A pillar of smoke-like aura shot up, then swept across all directions. Liu Feng was nearly insane, moving with great killing intent, willing to pay any price to execute a heavenly technique and kill Ye Fan and the others.
"No!" Liu Mingde stepped forward, grabbing him. "Several Great Sages are here. Why risk your life? We'll kill him slowly in a while."
Liu Feng's chest heaved violently, his breathing heavy. It took a long time for him to calm down. He began to repair his wounded body. Flesh and bone moved, crackling as they reformed. A new thigh grew out.
Wang Tianyu and the Silver Blood Great Sage remained expressionless, not saying a word. They locked onto Ye Fan with dao principles, ready to launch a thunderous strike at any moment.
"Both of you, let's kill him together," Liu Feng said hoarsely.
At this moment, the three Great Sages stepped forward together, walking toward Ye Fan. Heaven and earth trembled because of this, as if an ancient giant was about to overturn the heavens, shaking violently.
"Human Sacred Body, you are indeed very strong. We must admit you are a genius, possessing heavenly talent. But so what? It doesn't change the fact that you will die here," Liu Mingde said, attacking with words, sneering repeatedly, wanting to collapse his fighting spirit.
"You talk too much. We just split a Great Sage. Don't you see the result? Or is it dog blood being spilled?" Dragon Horse said.
Hearing this, Liu Mingde's mouth twitched, but he quickly calmed down, attacking further: "Unfortunately, you cannot change the outcome. You wounded my nephew but didn't kill him. You'll never have that chance again. Now, with three Great Sages here, do you have any chance of surviving? How can you resist?"
Everyone fell silent. This was an indisputable fact. Who could fight three Great Sages? Ye Fan was very strong, able to cross realms and attack those above, but there was a limit.
Liu Feng had just advanced to Great Sage not long ago. If someone with imperial qualifications acted, there was a chance of defeating him.
But Wang Tianyu and the gray-haired, gray-eyed old man were clearly strong among Great Sages, having broken into this realm who knows how many years ago. They might even be standing at the peak of the Great Sage realm. Such a gap could not be measured by ordinary means. Even if a god came and exchanged places with Ye Fan, nothing would change. They were many minor realms apart, impossible to defy heaven.
One could say this was a death sentence. At this realm, no matter who came, they would die!
Ye Fan was at least seven or eight minor realms behind the two ancient sages, plus the Great Sage barrier chasm. There was simply no way to defy heaven.
Liu Mingde and the others took him very seriously. Even if they verbally insulted him, when actually acting, they showed no carelessness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have invited several Great Sages to gather, not giving him the slightest chance to survive.
The distant crowd sighed. This was fundamentally an unequal battle. Even if Ye Fan was a heaven-defying genius, there was no way around it. No place to use his skills.
If he fought to the death, he would only die.
Liu Feng completely calmed down, stepping forward, his expression cold. Together with Wang Tianyu and the Silver Blood Great Sage, they surrounded Ye Fan, trapping him in the middle.
"In this world, geniuses are never lacking. Human Sacred Body, you are very strong, but so what?" Wang Tianyu said indifferently.
"Without becoming a Great Sage, you are nothing but dirt and dogs. A casual strike from us can destroy all life in a domain. Killing you is truly easy," the Silver Blood Great Sage said even more cruelly, his eyes cold and intimidating.
Although their words were harsh, this was indeed a fact. Once a Saint King was trapped, there would be no suspense. They were destined to be easily killed by a Great Sage.
Liu Mingde also stepped forward, the ancestral artifact "Fengdu" hanging above his head, making him look ghostly and terrifying. He sneered, "Today, this old man will teach you a lesson. What does it mean when a lion uses its full strength against a rabbit? Strictly speaking, you are very strong. But before an old generation Great Sage, you are not even worth a dog. You are nothing."
He continuously insulted and attacked, laughing heartily, as if everything was under control.
Pang Bo, Ji Haoyue, Dragon Horse, Ancient Golden Roc, and the others glared angrily. These people had gone too far. They were about to step forward and fight to the death, but Ye Fan stopped them.
"You also understand your situation? You cannot change the outcome. Not only you, but they will also die," Liu Feng pointed at the Ancient Golden Roc and others, speaking to Ye Fan.
"Fight to the death!" Pang Bo and Ji Haoyue were ready for battle.
"What's the rush? Take it slow. I alone am enough," Ye Fan said.
"Young man, are you talking nonsense?" Liu Mingde mocked. "The ancient city is sealed. Even if a god came, they couldn't escape. Trying to break out is nothing but wishful thinking."
"The city gates are finally completely sealed now. It seems none of you can escape. All of you hidden ones have worked hard. Come over and receive your death too," Ye Fan's words were shocking.
"Heh!" Ji Ziyue's crescent-moon eyes curved. She revealed a faint smile, forming a small dimple, and vigorously waved her little fist. "I like hearing that."
"An ant dares to boast shamelessly," Wang Tianyu made the first move, casually raising his hand and slapping forward. Law power surged like an ocean.
Liu Feng, the Silver Blood Great Sage, and Liu Mingde also stepped forward, beginning their killing strike, sneering repeatedly.
Ye Fan stood in the sky, very calm, not dodging. Watching that large hand press down, order divine chains interweaving, he made a clang sound and drew an immortal sword. In an instant, light illuminated eternity!
"Since you don't follow any rules, I will also begin a great slaughter!" This voice exploded like a thunderclap in the final sacred city.
"Clang!"
The furious sword first emerged, causing mountains and rivers to lose color. Like a bolt of lightning rising from Ye Fan's palm, killing intent shot straight for a hundred thousand li. Even the ancient city's array patterns could not block it.
"Pu"
Blood light splattered. Cold light flashed. With one sword strike, Ye Fan chopped off Wang Tianyu's large hand. Blood gushed forth. The palm and fingers fell, shaking the world.
"What?!" Everyone's eyes widened. This was too shocking.
Wang Tianyu let out a muffled groan. As his palm was severed, a killing intent spread up from the wound. His entire arm exploded, becoming bloody mud. Covered in blood, he staggered back tens of thousands of zhang.
This was too shocking.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. They never expected the situation to reverse so quickly. It was simply unbelievable.
Wisps of imperial aura spread. Everyone in the ancient city felt their hair and bones turn cold. Many people collapsed to the ground, unable to resist.
As soon as the killing sword appeared, the Great Sage's laws shattered. The scroll that the Silver Blood Ancient Saint spat out directly split into four pieces. He spat blood and flew horizontally.
"You... so it was you who stole an immortal sword!" Liu Mingde was horrified, his eyes filled with terror. He had thought of everything except that Ye Fan carried an imperial artifact.
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine. He had been cautious enough, but he wasn't a worm in Ye Fan's stomach. He couldn't know everything.
"No!" Liu Mingde shouted, because he saw Ye Fan swing his sword, sending Wang Tianyu and the Silver Blood Great Sage flying, then directly slash a peerless immortal light at Liu Feng.
"Pu"
This time, there was no suspense. The newly advanced Great Sage Liu Feng's head fell to the ground. Before an imperial artifact, he was nothing!
Liu Mingde's vision went dark. He almost fainted, because that was the greatest talent of their Liu Clan, the hope of the entire clan.
Ye Fan held the blood-dripping immortal sword and shouted loudly: "As enforcers, you collude with foreign races, harming the elite trial-takers of the human race. Your crimes are unforgivable. Since this ancient human path has lost its law, today I will come to uphold the law!"
Roar, brothers, I need a free recommendation ticket. If you also have some monthly tickets stored up, please throw them in. I bow in thanks.
