The Red Dust Immortal, comparable to the peak of Hunyuan Wuji, is on the same level as ancient Chaos Demon Gods like Wuxing and Yang Mei.
Lu Ya Daojun, though surpassing ordinary Great Dao Saints and capable of obliterating numerous Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals with mere words, could not kill Zi Yi Shi with her inherent power of spoken commands becoming reality. At most, he could injure her.
Lu Ya Daojun, unable to summon Fang Ming for a long time, looked at Zi Yi Shi with a frown.
"Zi Yi, your Human Heavenly Court has already lost! Extinction is not far off!"
"It is a pity that in eighteen Chaos Eras, humanity has only once ascended to the position of overlord of heaven and earth. The position of Chaos Overlord, however, was lost due to Fang Ming's own mistakes, leading to the demise of humanity..."
Zi Yi Shi, facing Lu Ya Daojun, an ancient Great Dao Saint, showed no fear.
Instead, she calmly said, "Lu Ya Daojun! A Great Dao Saint who has lived through eighteen Chaos Eras! Do you truly believe that everything is within your grasp?"
"Are the billions of humans mere playthings in your palm?"
Lu Ya Daojun laughed heartily, his voice like the clashing of jade beads.
"You humans are merely those who have fallen into the endless cycle of reincarnation, the submerged ones of reincarnation."
"As for me, I am the awakened one who has transcended eternal reincarnation! Eternally awake!"
"Zi Yi Shi, you are merely Zi Yi Shi of one calamity, merely the Human Ancestor of one calamity! I have seen you eighteen times before. How can you contend with me?"
Behind Lu Ya Daojun stood many gods and Buddhas from the old era. Seeing this, they also spoke.
"The Daojun is an ancient Great Dao Saint! One who has transcended eternal reincarnation! How can mere humans withstand the Daojun's divine might?"
"The Human Heavenly Net has been completely torn apart by the Daojun! Human rule is already a mere formality! They have been driven to the center with no power to resist, constantly being humiliated. Are they still putting up a fight?"
"Emperor Yan Wu, Emperor Kui Shui, Emperor Qing Yang... they died before even seeing the Daojun's face! Wake up, humanity! The era that belonged to you has passed!"
"Now is the era of the Daojun!"
The gods and Buddhas of the old era surrounded the boy with the fiery divine pattern between his brows, offering extreme flattery.
Zi Yi Shi, looking at the boy whose face was filled with smugness, calmly stated, "The Human Heavenly Court, Emperor Yan Wu, Emperor Qing Yang, have they already fallen?"
"Lu Ya Daojun, look, what is this."
As Zi Yi Shi spoke these words,
Whether it was the gods and Buddhas of the old era or Lu Ya Daojun, they all saw that from the depths of the Heavenly Court, another group of humans emerged.
These humans, one by one, possessed cultivation comparable to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, comparable to Hunyuan Wuji!
"Emperor Qing Yang, how are you still alive?"
Burning Lamp Daoist exclaimed, pointing at one of them!
Ten years ago, he had clearly seen Lu Ya Daojun use the Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu to directly obliterate Emperor Qing Yang.
At that time, Emperor Qing Yang's state had shifted from life to death, his primordial spirit's outer and inner cores had completely dispersed, and all fundamental particles had been erased. Burning Lamp Daoist was certain that Emperor Qing Yang had died an unrecoverable death!
Yet now...
Burning Lamp Daoist discovered that Emperor Qing Yang was still alive!
Not only was he alive, but he was in his full prime, alive with a cultivation comparable to a Hunyuan Wuji expert!
There was not the slightest sign of weakness!
This left Burning Lamp Daoist in immense shock!
To survive the obliteration by a powerful being surpassing Great Dao Saints, with a top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasure, was already incredibly difficult!
Even more incredible was that he was in his full prime!
One must understand that for cultivators to be obliterated by powerful beings, even if they retained some trump cards to revive, like the ancient Demon Gods Shen Ni and Luo Hu, it would still take hundreds of billions of years, several epochs, to recover their former strength!
Shen Ni had not even recovered his consciousness in hundreds of billions of years since the Fierce Beast Epoch!
Luo Hu had only recovered cultivation at the initial Great Luo level after five billion years since the Dragon-Phoenix Epoch!
Hundreds of billions of years!
Fifty billion years!
Yet Burning Lamp Daoist looked at Emperor Qing Yang, Emperor Yan Wu, Heavenly Venerate Bai Hua... and other human powerhouses with Hunyuan Wuji aura in the Human Heavenly Court.
In just ten years.
They had recovered their full strength!
How was this achieved?
The other gods and Buddhas of the old era were also in a state of shock.
"Emperor Yan Wu was already completely annihilated! His primordial spirit's outer and inner cores were both erased! Even former Saints would have died an unrecoverable death. Why could he revive and possess Hunyuan Wuji strength?"
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
"This..."
The gods and Buddhas of the old era, having watched the human army retreat step by step over the past ten years, and seeing human Emperors and Imperial Lords being annihilated one after another, felt increasingly terrified and fearful now, compared to how exhilarating it was then!
It was obvious to anyone with a brain that if even the various human Emperors and Imperial Lords could revive to their full strength in just ten years, then the difficulty of reviving the countless human cultivators and armies who died and perished during these ten years would be even simpler and easier?
This speculation was soon confirmed.
When numerous human armies, previously annihilated, emerged from the depths of the Heavenly Court in their full prime,
Many Immortals, Gods, and alien races turned pale, their legs trembling, and they desperately wanted to flee.
Lu Ya Daojun, witnessing this scene, fell silent.
His emotions were somewhat dejected, "Why did things turn out this way?"
"Indeed... I had a premonition... but why did I not notice this unease and take it seriously?"
"..."
Although Lu Ya Daojun could still kill these Imperial Lords with a wave of his hand, a single slash from the Immortal Slaying Gourd could not be resisted even by three thousand Hunyuan Wuji experts.
But...
Lu Ya Daojun knew that as long as he could not break the Human Heavenly Court's method of revival, he would have no way to annihilate the Human Heavenly Court!
"Primordial spirit completely dispersed! Primordial spirit core shattered! The definition of life and death has been inverted and modified... How can one survive under such methods?"
Lu Ya Daojun murmured, "How can Fang Ming, who has only just ascended to the Immortal King realm, a human civilization at an ordinary Immortal King level, possess such a method?"
"How is such a method possible?"
"..."
Lu Ya Daojun questioned himself.
Meanwhile, Zi Yi Shi simply said, "Daojun, the Heavenly Emperor told me to convey a message to you."
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival."
"Arrogance is."
"By the way, the Heavenly Emperor said, you yourself once said this sentence!"
I myself said it?
The boy with the fiery divine pattern between his brows recalled that ten years ago, after a Quasi-Saint level human blocked his path and was extinguished by the dragon flames from his Nine Dragon Chariot,
He had indeed once said this sentence.
Originally, it was meant to be said about humanity.
But he never expected that the ignorant and arrogant one was not humanity, but himself!
This sentence was not referring to humanity, but to himself! He had inadvertently mocked himself...
Lu Ya was inherently arrogant and looked down upon the Human Heavenly Court.
This was because he was the awakened one! While the Human Heavenly Court, and all humans, were the submerged ones!
The awakened one naturally possessed a sense of superiority when looking down upon the sentient beings who were submerged...
