The Golden Sage and the Great Sage of Ganlun were shocked and made a fatal mistake.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not like that. With the Tribulation Transcending Immortal Melody and the Soldier's Secret Technique unleashed together, and with Gai Jiuyou's cultivation level, which is equivalent to an alternative path to enlightenment, even if his blood energy is weakened and his offensive power is far less than at its peak, it is still definitely not something that an ordinary Great Sage can stop.
If it weren't for the supreme artifact, they would have already perished.
How could Cao Ya possibly miss such a great opportunity?
Rumble...
A blazing light burst forth, engulfing the extraterrestrial battlefield in a verdant glow. The stars trembled, then shattered, exploding into countless fragments.
The weapons of ancient emperors clashed with the magical artifacts of ancient sovereigns—a rare occurrence in history!
The Golden Mace and the Myriad Dragon Bell were both knocked away. It wasn't that the weapons were inferior, but rather that the users' cultivation levels were lacking. Whether facing Cao Ya, Gai Jiuyou, Gan Lun Great Sage, or Golden Great Sage, they were all outmatched.
Even though the two ancient clans' great saints were inside the ultimate divine artifact, they were severely injured and almost perished.
"You..." A trembling sound came from within the golden mace. Undoubtedly, these successive heavy blows had terrified the Golden Great Sage.
Golden blood still flowed from the imperial mace, revealing a divine aura.
"Great Sage Ganlun, I'll go first!" the Golden Great Sage shouted. He wielded his Imperial Mace, turned around, and fled into the depths of the starry sky, not daring to linger for even a moment.
In that instant, he was suddenly struck by a violent sense of impending doom.
Therefore, he no longer cared about saving face or royal dignity, turned around and ran, even abandoning his teammates and leaving the Great Sage of Ganlun in a desperate situation.
Gan Lun Dasheng was a step too slow and was about to face Cao Ya, Na Xihuangta, and the divine voice emitted by Gai Jiuyou.
"Damn it! Golden King, holy crap!!!" The Great Sage Ganlun almost vomited blood again, hating the Golden King who deserted in the face of battle to the extreme.
The main reason was that the Golden Great Sage ran away before him. The Great Sage Ganlun also had the same idea and abandoned his teammates to escape, but he was a step slower than the Golden Great Sage. In the end, it seemed that his fate would be very tragic, and he would die under the West Emperor Tower.
On the ground, the people of Wanlong Nest were enraged upon seeing this scene and became hostile towards the creatures of the Golden Cave.
The ancient creatures in the Golden Cave also looked quite unwell.
To be precise, very few of the ancient creatures were happy; almost all of them had ashen faces, with only a very few exceptions.
The human cultivators didn't cheer; instead, they all held their breath, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Could Cao Ya and Gai Jiuyou, working together, kill an ancient clan's Great Sage?!
In fact, this issue can hardly be considered a problem.
Because Cao Ya and Gai Jiuyou's cultivation and strength are inherently stronger than those of Gan Lun Great Sage and Golden Great Sage, and now that they have joined forces, how could they not be victorious?
Thump thump! ...
Cao Ya nearly merged into the Western Emperor Tower, his emerald glow piercing the darkness and coldness of the universe. His speed was beyond imagination, surpassing even the Great Sage Ganlun and directly catching up with the Great Sage Golden. With a thunderous strike, he crashed into the Golden Mace, the ancient emperor's weapon clashing head-on with the ancient imperial weapon.
A metallic tremor rang out as the golden mace flew a great distance, shattering a section of star field.
"Ah!!!!!" The Golden Great Sage screamed in agony, his body was violently thrown out of the golden mace in this direct and intense collision. His body was torn to shreds, he coughed up blood, and then his body cracked, his form was about to be destroyed.
Cao Ya held the Western Emperor Tower in one hand and reached out with the other, gently pressing down. Yet, it possessed the power to shatter the universe and restart the world.
"Great Sage Cao Ya, show mercy!" On the ground, Great Sage Hun Tuo, Great Sage Yan Qi, and Great Sage Xue Huang Shan pleaded for the Golden Great Sage.
Bang!
Cao Ya, of course, ignored this. When the human race was at a disadvantage and on the verge of defeat, why didn't you jump out and ask the Great Sage of the Ancients to show mercy?
The Golden Monkey King was also terrified, struggling desperately while loudly begging for mercy.
Cao Ya sneered and flicked his finger. It was a fluctuation of the profound laws of darkness. A dark light spread out, causing the Golden Great Sage to be torn to pieces on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Golden blood splattered everywhere, a shocking sight that made this battlefield outside the realm shine brightly. This was a descendant of the Golden Ancient Emperor, containing wisps of ancient emperor blood and possessing inexplicable divine power.
Yet he still died at Cao Ya's hands.
A great saint of the ancient royal family, who was at the pinnacle of this world and could look down on the entire ancient star, was now wiped out by a single finger, becoming a pile of mud and broken bones, with only golden blood flowing.
The scene was astonishing; all living things in the sky and on the ground were stunned.
Even the cultivators who had hoped to witness the fall of the ancient clan's Great Saint were stunned when they actually saw this scene, their hearts filled with shock.
As for the ancient races, there's no need to say more. The fall of the Golden Great Sage, even with the ancient imperial weapon in hand, was an event that terrified them all.
The Great Sage Ganlun withdrew from the Myriad Dragon Bell, and the Purple-Gold Dragon Bell hung above his head, cascading down streams of purple-gold dragon energy.
He stared in fear at the lifeless body of the Golden Sage, swallowing hard.
At the same time, the Great Sage Ganlun felt a surge of satisfaction. Damn it, that guy Golden King deserted his comrades and became a deserter. Now that he's dead, it's truly gratifying.
However, when Cao Ya's gaze swept over, the Great Sage Ganlun's heart skipped a beat. With the power to kill a Great Sage, Cao Ya's fearsome reputation at this moment almost transcended the Great Sage's boundaries, reaching an even more terrifying level.
"Great Sage Cao Ya, wait! I am willing to redeem my life with divine power! I was misled by the Golden Great Sage, which led me to commit such a grave mistake. I deeply regret it. Please give me a chance to redeem myself!" Great Sage Gan Lun said in rapid succession, trying to shirk responsibility and shift the blame.
Anyway, since the Golden Monkey King is dead, it doesn't matter if he takes the blame a few times.
If it is truly possible to redeem one's life with divine power, this would be a good thing for the Great Sage Ganlun.
As long as you can survive, no matter how much it costs, it's always better than dying on the spot.
If he makes another move, he'll likely follow in the footsteps of the Golden Great Sage and join that guy in the underworld.
Of course, the Great Sage Ganlun was extremely unwilling.
"It depends on your sincerity," Cao Ya said with a slight smile.
His smile was serene, yet it sent shivers down the spine of the Great Sage Ganlun, who nodded repeatedly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Cao, rest assured, we are definitely sincere, we are definitely sincere."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that his life had been saved.
Looking at Cao Ya opposite him, and Gai Jiuyou who had surrounded and killed the Great Saint of the Samsara lineage, the Great Saint Ganlun sighed with emotion. The power of the human saints who became saints in this special era was indeed very strong.
At this point, Jiang Taixu and Elder Wei Yi had not died at the hands of the Great Sage of Primordial Lake and the Great Sage of the Beast God lineage. Even though they were teetering on the brink of collapse, they managed to hold on.
On the contrary, they, who had arrived with an arrogant and coercive attitude, found themselves in a sorry state after the death of the Golden Great Sage. He himself had to use precious divine resources to redeem his life, and was covered in dust and dirt.
