Chapter 326: Death of a Sage!

Golden Mountain City!

In the depths of the Outland, near one of the Four Forbidden Places, lay the Tashakur Desert.

This place was desolate and filled with dire beasts. There were even demon emperors. It was rumored that there were many ruins of ancient civilizations buried beneath the Tashakur Desert.

The consortium faction was overseeing the Tashakur Desert. Among them, Sage Batai was personally overseeing Golden Mountain City. This also ensured the peace in the area of a thousand miles surrounding Golden Mountain City.

There was no common consensus regarding whether there were any ancient civilization ruins under the Tashakur Desert, but the purpose of the consortium faction’s emplacement was not those ancient civilization ruins, but the gold mines!

There were many gold mines in the Tashakur Desert, which accounted for almost 60% of all the gold of humanity. An innumerable amount of gold was produced here every year, and the quality was very high.

The consortium faction was guarding the Tashakur Desert purely for wealth.

Sage Batai had taken the initiative to oversee the Tashakur Desert back then for the gold mines as well. As for the dire beasts and even demon emperors in the Tashakur Desert, Sage Batai merely intimidated them incidentally.

This was how Golden Mountain City got its name!

The most magnificent, spectacular, and luxurious manor in Golden Mountain City was called the Sage Manor.

The Sage Manor was where Sage Batai resided.

In the Sage Manor, there was a huge robot over a hundred meters tall standing guard at all times. Sometimes, as some martial artists in the manor walked past the robot, there would be a trace of excitement in their eyes.

This was a robot with the combat power of a Sage. Sage Batai had forcibly taken it from the League of Guardians.

Not only did the martial artists in the manor not feel ashamed, they were all incomparably proud.

Sage Batai had indeed been very cozy recently. However, as his communicator rang, his expression darkened slightly when he saw the disordered and unfamiliar code on the communicator.

“Where is my Spear of Destruction?”

Sage Batai looked at the message on his communicator. He knew that it was the mysterious Night Devil.

“Lin Feng took the Spear of Destruction. You’re so well-informed. Don’t tell me you don’t know that?”

“Of course I know. I also know of certain petty thoughts you are harboring. You must be very satisfied and pleased with yourself right now, no? Heh, poor man. I do hope I can still hear of your survival tomorrow.”

“Enjoy your last moment of relaxation…”

Seeing the message on his communicator, Sage Batai’s heart sank.

Could it be that he had angered the mysterious man, and the mysterious man was preparing to attack him?

However, on careful thought, it seemed somewhat unlikely. The mysterious person had always been hiding in the dark, and had even created a malignant organization like the “Night Devil”.

The other party had hidden for so long. How could he expose himself so easily?

Since the mysterious man would not come to kill him, what did the mysterious man mean? Was it blackmail? A threat?

Sage Batai did not think that the other party would engage in such pointless moves.

Sage Batai thought through the possibilities carefully. He thought of the Invincible Fist Sage. Currently, the only person who had the ability to kill him was the Invincible Fist Sage.

However, would the Invincible Fist Sage really start a civil war among humanity? It had to be known that Sage Batai had a robot with the combat power of a Sage. Even if the Invincible Fist Sage brought the two other Sages from the academic faction, Sage Batai was confident that he could hold out for a period of time.

At that time, Sage Kang would definitely arrive. For the greater good, how could Sage Kang bear to watch the Sages of humanity fight among themselves?

“Hmph, don’t let me find out who you are, or else…”

Sage Batai threw his communicator aside and drank his wine in satisfaction, enjoying the sunlight in the Golden Mountain City. What a comfortable life. It would be even better if he could undergo five life transitions.

Rumble.

Suddenly, the entire Golden Mountain City seemed to be shaking.

At the same time, a loud voice entered Sage Batai’s ears.

“Batai, come out and die!”

“Who is it?”

Batai’s eyes flew open in fury. He was a dignified Sage. Who would dare to be so insolent?

…

The peaceful Golden Mountain City had its peace broken at this moment.

An airship flew over from the distant horizon, and then, two figures walked out of the airship.

One of the figures descended into the forest outside the Sage Manor and shouted, “Batai, come out and die!”

This voice spread throughout the entire Golden Mountain City.

“Who dares to be so rude to Sage Batai?”

“This young man looks a little familiar, but I know the person beside him. He’s the Invincible Fist Sage!”

“I remember now. Isn’t that the youngest Sage of humanity, Sage Lin Feng?”

“Sage Lin Feng? What kind of grudge can a young Sage like him hold against Sage Batai?”

“This is serious. Something big must be going on!”

Seeing Lin Feng appear, the people of Golden Mountain City were all very surprised. They had almost never seen open conflicts between Sages.

These people naturally did not know about Lin Feng’s death. Although Lin Feng had died, the Sages had yet to announce the news publicly. After all, the death of a Sage had too great an impact.

Boom.

Suddenly, the sky turned azure. Waves roiled perpetually all around.

Sage Batai walked out of the Sage Manor step by step.

However, the moment he saw Lin Feng, his eyes suddenly stilled.

“Lin Feng?”

That was Lin Feng. Sage Batai could not be mistaken. There was no fluctuation of Astral Power from Lin Feng’s body, but Lin Feng was not suppressed at all within his Divine Kingdom of Heavy Waters.

Only Lin Feng, who had the combat power of a Sage, could accomplish it!

Although he did not know why Lin Feng was not dead, Sage Batai did not intend to get to the bottom of it. It was already a fact that Lin Feng was still alive.

“Lin Feng, are you here to ask for the robot?”

The way he saw it, Lin Feng must have come here to ask for the robot. Moreover, he was with the Invincible Fist Sage. Lin Feng was clearly trying to suppress Batai with power.

Batai was even prepared to secretly contact Sage Claus. He and Claus had always been in close contact. Claus also had a lot against the academic faction. They had long become allies and advanced and retreated as one.

At that time, when Claus arrived, even if Lin Feng had the help of the Invincible Fist Sage, what could they do?

Lin Feng looked at Sage Batai. His gaze even landed on the Guardian in the manor.

Everything was clear!

“No, I’m not here to ask for the Guardian.”

Lin Feng extended his hand. His tone was indifferent, but his eyes were like bright stars, becoming incredibly dazzling all of a sudden.

“I’m here to kill you!”

Boom.

Lin Feng’s body expanded instantly. A hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters…

In the span of a few breaths, Lin Feng’s body had already expanded to three kilometers!

The Tidal Combat Body completely erupted. He reached out and smacked down, even enveloping Sage Batai’s manor.

At this moment, the world was in upheaval!

At this moment, the sky dimmed!

At this moment, mountains and earth crumbled apart!

“Divine Kingdom of Heavy Waters!”

Sage Batai’s expression changed drastically. Sensing the dreadful pressure from Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body, his face was almost completely red as he roared hysterically.

In the Divine Kingdom, infinite heavy water condensed into a giant. It did not look much inferior to Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body.

In the Divine Kingdom, Sages were omnipotent. Forget about condensing a heavy water giant three kilometers in height, even a heavy water giant of 30 kilometers would be nothing. The Astral Power was entirely capable of supporting it.

However, that was just for show!

Rumble.

Lin Feng’s large hand pressed down. Every drop of heavy water was incredibly heavy. Even the Invincible Fist Sage was extremely wary.

But so what?

In front of Lin Feng’s huge palm, it collapsed instantly like paper.

The Tidal Combat Body, which was three kilometers in height, erupted at full force. Lin Feng did not know how formidable its strength was, but at this moment, his heart was calm, and there was only overwhelming killing intent. It transformed into this huge palm like a world-annihilating deity.

“How can this be? Impossible…”

The giant palm pressed down, and the Divine Kingdom of Heavy Waters collapsed inch by inch. The Astral Force Field was directly torn apart and reduced to nothing. Sage Batai could only watch helplessly as the giant palm descended and pressed down on his body.

Thud.

What Astral Power? What Divine Kingdom? Everything seemed so futile at this moment.

Sage Batai did not let out a single scream before he was crushed into a bloody mist by the terrifying giant palm and blasted apart. However, the giant palm took the opportunity to descend, enveloping the entire Sage Manor.

Boom.

The giant hand disappeared, and the Sage Manor was razed to the ground. Everything in the Sage Manor was rent apart. Even the robot that Sage Batai had not been able to summon in time were also shattered by this palm strike.

At this moment, even the Invincible Fist Sage’s eyes widened in shock.

With a single palm strike, a Sage was dead!
