# Chapter 705: The Saint's End

The purple bronze war chariot rose from the ground, ascending together with the divine formation carved by the young madman, along with the corpses of a Great Sage and several ancient kings.

They were about to leave for outer space, departing the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, entering the cosmic star regions for the final decisive battle.

The human cultivators were shocked and horrified, watching the ancient ship rise higher and higher. Every single person felt chilled to the bone. Who could break the deadlock? Who could lend a hand to the human race's Saint?

They felt their own insignificance, completely unable to help in any way. How many people of that level had there been from ancient times to the present? Compared to them, they were like ants.

"What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you going to the immortal ancient lands to borrow an Extreme Imperial Weapon? Do you want to watch this great calamity descend?!" Ye Fan shouted.

The Old Madman was very powerful, unmatched and invincible in his generation, but facing so many ancient kings alone, he would surely drink bitter wine. That was a road of no return.

If he went beyond the heavens, most likely saint blood would stain the void, and his living soul would shatter the star domain. Ye Fan was extremely worried, afraid that he would fall because of this.

At this moment, many people looked at him as if they had seen a ghost. No one answered, no one went to fetch an Extreme Imperial Weapon. They all looked at him with confusion.

"What's wrong with all of you? Don't tell me that the dignified Ziwei Ancient Star Domain doesn't have an Imperial Weapon!" Ye Fan was anxious. Time was life; not a single second could be wasted.

"Are you still a person of this world?" Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Imperial Weapons all disappeared along with the ancient Great Emperors. Don't you even know that?!"

"What?!" Ye Fan's heart shook violently. What was going on? He was extremely puzzled. What had happened in the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain?

This was a place that had given birth to endless myths! It was an ancient life-bearing land with too many secrets, the legendary central ancient emperor star.

The purple bronze war chariot rumbled, tearing through the sky. It could no longer be stopped, rising higher and higher. The ancient formation sealed all directions, corpses floating about, incredibly eerie and terrifying.

The ancient ship was carved with figures of the ten thousand ancient clans, including their ancient emperors, their Great Sages, and many mysterious patterns—flowers, birds, fish, insects, tripods, pagodas, bells, mirrors—everything imaginable.

At this moment, before the purple bronze war chariot had even left, a great battle had already erupted. The young madman was overwhelmingly powerful, striking first.

Going beyond the heavens was a road of no return for him, but he showed not a trace of fear. He fought with great openness and decisiveness, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist opening up six ancient realms.

Two Great Sages from ancient times, along with more than ten Saint-level ancestral kings, attacked together. What kind of combat power was this?

In that instant, they all struck at a single point. Even the greatest hero would tremble; it was simply impossible to resist!

The young madman was indeed very powerful, but facing so many Saints, he was absolutely no match. These people were very weak, but they could still unleash a few full-powered strikes.

The six ancient realms opened by the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist were pierced through by more than ten weapons, then shattered, rapidly collapsing and breaking apart.

The human cultivators almost closed their eyes. How could he dodge this? How could he resist? There was simply no way to face it. Even a Great Sage would turn to ash under such a strike!

It could be clearly seen that more than ten weapons had reached the surface of the young madman's body, emitting heavenly dao divine principles, about to disintegrate him.

The Old Madman's fist strength was world-shaking, and although he shattered several weapons, he couldn't completely neutralize them all. People could hardly bear to watch. Before even reaching beyond the heavens, was the human race's Saint going to stain this place with blood?

"Senior!" Ye Fan shouted. He really couldn't bear to see the terrible scene of the Old Madman's blood spilling across the void. His heart trembled, his eyes nearly splitting.

The others also felt ice-cold all over. If the Old Madman died, what would the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain become? People didn't dare imagine.

Many closed their eyes, unable to witness the scene of a Saint's blood being spilled.

However, at that moment, the ancient ancestral kings cried out in alarm. Even the two Great Sages let out sounds of surprise. An unbelievable scene had occurred in the arena.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. All the weapons emitted saintly divine principles, almost touching the Old Madman's body, but then they stopped.

It was very brief, just an instant. Time and space solidified. The young madman used this moment to escape his certain death!

"This is… what happened?!"

"What's going on?"

Even the ancient ancestral kings were shocked in their hearts. The two ancient Great Sages were greatly shaken, revealing expressions of astonishment.

The young madman broke free from the death trap, evading all weapons and divine principle orders. Like a fish drifting beyond the world, he leaped up, transforming into a Kunpeng.

"Puff"

He swung his fists, unleashing the Six Paths Reincarnation divine power. In an instant, heaven and earth split apart. He smashed one ancient ancestral king's head into paste, gray blood splashing over ten meters high. With his other hand, he ripped open another ancient king's skull, grabbed his primordial spirit, and crushed it into ashes.

Many didn't understand. Only the two ancient Great Sages were shocked, clearly perceiving what it was. One said in a deep voice, "The power of time!"

"Although he only touched upon a little, it is indeed the time that comes from extreme speed!" The other Great Sage also spoke.

In the distance, Ye Fan's heart surged with waves. He also understood. That was the Stride Art. When it reached its ultimate realm, it would sublimate, glimpsing the mysteries of time.

The Stride Art among the Nine Secrets was indeed terrifying. The Old Madman's attainment had reached the peak, already initially touching a thread of the boundary realm of time.

Ye Fan couldn't calm down. He and the Old Madman had both obtained the complete Stride Art at the Sacred Cliff, so he naturally understood the divine principles contained within. Seeing such heaven-defying methods now, he was extremely excited.

The Stride Art originated from the ancient assassin divine dynasty—the Heavenly Court. In ancient times, an old Saint had a world-shaking fortune, obtaining an immortal divine medicine and living two lifetimes before cultivating to the realm of time.

As for others, they couldn't even touch that supreme forbidden zone, having no hope of cultivating it at all.

Now, the young madman had actually displayed such an aspect. He had initially glimpsed the complex divine principles within, enough to demonstrate his unmatched heavenly talent.

"Touching upon the order of time is nothing special. It's not invincible. Go to the outer domain, and I can slay you." The silver-haired Great Sage said coldly.

The great battle began again. Even with the Stride Art, even with the unmatched Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, the Old Madman suffered several severe injuries. Of course, the enemy also suffered considerable losses.

"Senior!" Ye Fan saw the Old Madman's blood splattering the heavens. He searched through all his methods and urged out a large piece of divine source from the Primordial Qi Cauldron.

This was a large piece of source emitting blinding divine radiance. Inside was an incredibly terrifying withered old man, wearing a beast-skin battle garment, holding a glossy white bone great club, hair disheveled, limbs bound by red iron divine chains.

He was like an ancient ferocious beast. Just the aura he emitted was enough to make people's primordial spirits shatter, unbearable!

Ye Fan transmitted his voice, telling the Old Madman everything, and pushed this piece of divine source forward, wanting it to enter through the gaps in the divine formation and explode to attack.

"I don't know if this is auspicious or ominous. This ancient Saint cultivated both Taiyin and Taiyang, turning himself into a demon. He might also attack the Old Madman."

Ye Fan was very worried. Releasing this ancient human demon, heaven knows what would happen.

"What? It's him… still in this world. In ancient times, he killed several ancestral kings and a Great Sage!"

"It really is the ancient human demon. Wasn't he jointly suppressed to death by the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, the Divine Spirit Valley, and others? How is he still alive in later generations?!"

The several ancient kings who originated from the Big Dipper Star Domain all changed expression greatly, recognizing the old man sealed in the divine source, recalling a terrifying past event.

"Don't let him in! Don't let him break the seal!" The Great Sage with dragon horns growing from his head shouted. He didn't want any unexpected incident to occur.

Many ancient kings acted together, jointly sealing that corner gap, not wanting this terrifying human demon to enter.

At this moment, the young madman struck. His brow emitted a blinding light. A black moon divine symbol appeared. The Taiyin saintly force operated, mutually attracting with that piece of divine source, establishing a connection.

"Boom"

From within the divine source block, that withered ancient Saint surged out an extremely violent aura. Especially from his brow, a round of blinding light shot out, both like a sun and like a divine moon, emitting destructive light.

He was like a beast released from its cage, condensing a killing intent, directly forcing it into the body of an ancient king.

"Ah…"

That ancient king screamed, his primordial spirit almost sucked out. Many cracks appeared all over his body, blood seeping out.

"Quick, we absolutely cannot let him in! We absolutely cannot let him awaken!"

This was a Great Sage!

Although he was currently sealed, he had not a single wound, dormant within the divine source. Once he broke free, it would surely be a great slaughter.

All the ancient kings acted together. If they were at their peak, they wouldn't fear, since they had two Great Sages on their side. But now it was different; they were all extremely weak.

More than ten beams of light shot out, sealing that seal completely. The young madman also had no way; he alone couldn't stop everyone.

The purple bronze war chariot rapidly ascended. The divine source block sealing the ancient Saint was knocked down, the distance growing farther and farther.

Ye Fan was anxious, but powerless to change anything. He watched helplessly as the purple bronze war chariot disappeared into the clouds, rushing toward the outer domain battlefield.

"Senior…" Ye Fan shouted, racking his brains. He felt that only the All Secret might be able to achieve results, and transmitted it to the high sky.

Among the Nine Secrets, except for this one, all were very complex, requiring enlightenment and a great deal of time to gain anything. Only this secret was very short, able to be cultivated quickly, triggering multiple times combat power.

His only worry was that the Old Madman had touched the Eight Prohibitions domain, which would render this secret ineffective. Only by breaking through his own shackles could he display this secret's supreme divine might!

The moment Ye Fan transmitted the All Secret, the Old Madman also sent down a divine thought, entering Ye Fan's heart, causing him to shake violently.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

This terrifying fist technique, for Ye Fan with his unmatched physical body, was the most suitable combat technique. In the future, it would surely allow him to soar like a dragon.

"Don't let it be lost."

The young madman's eyes were cold, confronting the many ancient kings. This was the last imprint he left behind, like settling his final affairs. Then, together with the ancient Saints, he disappeared beyond the heavens.

"Old Madman Big Brother!" Ye Fan shouted.

This journey to the outer domain was a death trap, without a single hope of survival. People knew this might be the last time they saw the human race's Great Sage.

That resolute face, that indomitable spirit, that back that would never return—left an indelible impression on the world. The Old Madman fought alone against the many Saints, going alone to the outer domain.

Even in death, he would kill all the Saint-level ancestral kings on the ancient ship! The Old Madman's words, domineering and powerful, still seemed to echo in people's ears.

This was a legend of a Saint, not manifesting in the world, appearing like a fleeting flower, and then vanishing forever…

A few days later, a piece of purple bronze debris from deep beyond the heavens, stained with human saint blood, fell onto the earth of the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, telling of a shocking and tragic great battle.

From then on, Saints did not appear. The ancient Great Sages did not descend. The ancestral kings all disappeared. And the human race's Great Sage also never appeared again.

"For the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, the human race's Saint stained the outer domain with blood…" Many people wept.
