Suirenshi then revealed the truth and turned to leave.
Upon hearing the words "delaying time," Venerable Yunlong's face instantly changed.
Why was he so foolish, wasting so much time talking to Suirenshi here for nothing? He hadn't expected him to be delaying time to set up a formation!
Had his brain been damaged by the attacks from the many human powerhouses in the Human Race Legion?
He couldn't even figure out such a simple stratagem?
That's it!
It must have been the Human Race Legion's attack that injured his brain!
"Not good!"
"I've fallen into a trap!"
"I must retreat quickly!"
Venerable Yunlong intended to use the same trick again, employing his spatial secret technique to escape.
However, he was horrified to discover that countless patterns had appeared in the surrounding void, forming a great formation exuding overwhelming killing intent.
Within this great formation, he could not escape at all. If he attempted to use his spatial secret technique to flee, the moment he executed it, he would be annihilated by the boundless killing intent, his primordial spirit and physical body destroyed!
Boom!
The Great Emperor Killing Formation hovered in the void, its terrifying killing intent causing the void to tremble and stars to be extinguished.
Who was the Ruthless Great Emperor?
In the world of Zhetian, she had already ascended to the position of a Red Dust Immortal, comparable to a peak Heavenly Dao realm expert.
This corner of the Great Emperor Killing Formation, although set up by Fang Ming when the Ruthless Great Emperor was still in the Human Dao realm, at the Great Emperor realm, not a formation set up by a Red Dust Immortal or even a higher realm.
However, the Ruthless Great Emperor at the Great Emperor realm was already far superior to ordinary Great Emperors.
If converted to the Primordial Era, even the foremost among the Saints, the most powerful Taiqing Sage, would not be able to withstand a few moves of the "Flying Immortal Art" from the Ruthless Great Emperor.
A corner of a killing formation set up by such a peak Saint-level expert, even if it was just a corner, how could Venerable Yunlong, a mere late-stage Da Luo, possibly resist it?
Venerable Yunlong felt the premonition of death, and thus he went mad.
Innumerable terrifying divine abilities, at a glance, were unleashed by him.
Each move and each strike was a supreme divine ability that countless post-natal cultivators dreamed of.
They could shatter billions of mountains and rivers, turning countless worlds into dust.
But these so-called supreme divine abilities were useless before the Great Emperor Killing Formation!
All struggles were futile! Useless!
In the end, Venerable Yunlong's primordial spirit and physical body were torn into countless fragments by the killing intent.
The essence of life contained within the countless fragments was then annihilated one by one by the Great Emperor Killing Formation.
Venerable Yunlong thus perished here.
He was the first Da Luo Golden Immortal to fall since the war between the Dragon Race and the Human Race!
Furthermore, he was not an early-stage Da Luo, but a late-stage Da Luo, a seasoned expert among Da Luo Golden Immortals!
...
"Venerable Yunlong has fallen!"
"This is a Da Luo expert! A late-stage Da Luo, fallen just like that?"
The scattered cultivators watching from afar gasped again after witnessing the demise of Venerable Yunlong.
Previously, the complete crushing of the Sea Race Legion by the Human Race Legion had already shocked them immensely.
A race that was once so weak, at the absolute bottom,
Could actually contend against myriad races with the might of a single race's legion.
The legion's combat power surpassing the myriad races of the Demon Court, even if it was only below Da Luo, was an extremely shocking matter to the scattered cultivators!
They could only comfort themselves in their hearts.
Legion combat power was only a part of a race's strength; ultimately, it still depended on high-end, top-tier combat power.
Even if the Human Race's strength below Da Luo completely surpassed the myriad races of the Demon Court, without those more than three hundred Da Luo Golden Immortals guarding them, and without more than ten Quasi-Saint experts.
They would never be able to compare to the myriad races of the Demon Court.
In the Primordial Era, legions could play a huge role, but the final victory would ultimately depend on the top-tier powerhouses.
The Primordial world was, after all, a world ruled by the strong.
The Human Race, lacking the top-tier Quasi-Saint Grand Divine Ability users and numerous high-level Da Luo Golden Immortals, even with their extremely powerful legions below Da Luo, would only be a surprising anomaly in front of the Wu and Yao races.
Although worthy of admiration, in the end, they could only face destruction before true powerhouses.
However, it was not until the appearance of Suirenshi, an expert comparable to a Da Luo, and the fall of Venerable Yunlong.
That the scattered cultivators were forcibly kicked out of their self-consolation.
It turned out that the Human Race had already become so powerful that they could even annihilate late-stage Da Luo cultivators!
"Legion crushed the Dragon Race Legion, slaughtering the Dragon Race Legion like wiping out ants."
"Killing Da Luo Golden Immortals who traverse all time and space, existing in eternal freedom."
"These two feats were accomplished by the Human Race, formerly the most bottom-tier race."
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
"In just two thousand years, they have grown to this extent from mere ants..."
"How did they achieve this?"
Numerous scattered cultivators, whether their cultivation was as low as Xuan Xian, Tian Xian, or as high as Da Luo Golden Immortal, those "great figures" who had been to Zixiao Palace.
All of them were profoundly shaken at this moment.
To develop to their current strength in just two thousand years.
What methods did they use? Was that inheritance from beyond the domain truly so powerful?
What method could achieve such development in merely two thousand years?
This doubt had been plaguing them, but they could not find the slightest answer!
...
On the battlefield.
After millions upon millions of Sea Race soldiers were slaughtered.
Even though this force only accounted for one percent of the Sea Race's troops, and the Sea Race still had tens of billions of soldiers, far exceeding the number of losses.
However, all the Sea Race soldiers were terrified!
This kind of overwhelming military might was not a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter.
Every Sea Race soldier had to fight ten thousand human soldiers of the same rank.
How could they win?
This was a gap of despair!
Anyone could see that the Sea Race Legion had no hope of victory whatsoever!
The Sea Race soldiers were not machines; facing such overwhelming military might, how could their fighting spirit remain undiminished, fighting to the last moment?
Sensing that the situation was not right, many Sea Race soldiers had already scattered and fled.
The shrimp soldiers and crab soldiers directly fled.
The flood dragons and earth dragons directly fled into the sea or deep into the earth.
The fastest to flee were the five-clawed golden dragons. This pure-blooded dragon race, seeing the unfavorable situation, fled immediately.
The entire Sea Race Legion, composed of hundreds of billions of soldiers, was in a state of complete collapse!
And the Da Luo elders of the Dragon Race, seeing that Venerable Yunlong had already died, their faces turned even more ashen.
If it were the ancient Dragon-Phoenix era, when the Dragon Race was at its peak of prosperity, a cultivator like Venerable Yunlong, a late-stage Da Luo, would not have been considered particularly important.
After all, the Dragon Race then had a large number of Hunyuan Golden Immortals, who were above Da Luo Golden Immortals.
The fall of a mere late-stage Da Luo would not have significantly damaged the Dragon Race's strength.
However, late-stage Da Luo cultivators were now extremely rare among the Dragon Race, numbering only two or three.
