"Lord of Eternity!"
Zhen Yaozu let out a mournful roar. That cannon shot just now directly annihilated nearly 30% of his divine body. Combined with the losses from the previous battle, he now only had less than 60% of his divine body left.
"Goodbye, Demon Ancestor Zhen!"
Seeing the severely damaged Zhen Yaozu, Lu Yunhe gripped the Shattering Void Sword and instantly rushed to his opponent's side.
"cut!"
Lu Yunhe's expression was icy cold as he unleashed a tenth-level attack, mercilessly striking Zhen Yaozu.
Sparkling light! Sparkling light! Sparkling light!
The sword light, as fluid as water, as golden as gold, and as fiery as fire, carried terrifying power, yet it sliced across the wounds on the Demon Ancestor's armor with the ease of a skilled butcher dissecting an ox.
With the armor damaged, it will be difficult for its power to remain at the peak of its highest level.
The lower the grade of the armor, the better the armor-piercing effect of the Shattering Void Sword.
As for directly using one's physical body to withstand a level 10 attack, even a true god's body would be as fragile as paper.
Under Lu Yunhe's sword light, Zhen Yaozu seemed to clearly see the countdown to his death.
Each dazzling sword light seemed to take away nearly one percent of his life.
"Dream Demon Ancestor, Demon Race!"
Even in his final moments, Zhen Yaozu's mind was still filled with thoughts of his companions and clan.
Then, endless sword light covered its body, severing the last trace of life of the Demon Ancestor.
Zhenyao Ancestor, die!
Chapter 387 The Demon Race, Annihilated
"Die!"
Lu Yunhe's sword light penetrated deep into Zhen Yaozu's body, annihilating the opponent's last divine power.
The divine body was annihilated, and the life core also collapsed, with a large number of armor items beginning to fall off.
After the owner dies, these treasures that once belonged to him will all become ownerless.
"I personally killed one of the strongest!"
Looking at the dead Zhen Yaozu, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but feel a little excited.
There's a big difference between knowing you can kill the strongest person and actually killing them.
Having the strongest as a sacrifice has solidified his current strength as the only one in the universe.
In fact, there is another unspoken rule in the Cosmic Sea: once someone has reached the tenth level of strength, they will kill the strongest person to demonstrate their power to everyone in the Cosmic Sea.
The seven True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan joined forces back then, and the Primordial Ancestor did the same thing.
After all, if we exclude the inheritance from the Origin Continent, the tenth-tier combat power is the limit for everyone in the Cosmic Sea, truly deserving the title of "strongest in the Cosmic Sea".
"Domain Shattering Cone!"
Lu Yunhe was sorting through the remnants of Zhen Yaozu. Apart from this supreme treasure, he didn't care about the other treasures at all.
No, there's one more thing, and that's the corpse of Zhen Yaozu.
After cultivators break through to become immortal gods, they all become energy-based divine bodies. However, after breaking through to become true gods, they will return to their original state and revert to their initial physical constitution.
Rocky things will turn back into rocky things, and flesh and blood will turn back into flesh and blood, but this does not affect the composition of divine power.
This means that after a true god is killed, a corpse will remain.
"It has great research value!"
Lu Yunhe collected the corpse of Zhen Yaozu separately. The corpse of a true god was even more valuable than a top-tier treasure.
At the same time, the instant Zhen Yaozu died, his microcosm also began to decline, and the surface of his microcosm began to peel off and crack.
Life forms bound to the origin of the microcosm perished immediately, while the remaining life forms that migrated from the primordial universe could only watch helplessly as the world crumbled.
"Could it be..."
Seeing this familiar scene, many demons who had just moved to the Zhenyao Ancestor's small universe were suddenly filled with dread.
The key point is that this time, no one made any prior preparations to get them out.
Because of the severe damage caused by the previous great battle, the remaining few universe lords of the demon race had to stay and guard their territory.
The number of universe lords in the entire demon race has been reduced from more than twenty to less than ten, and they still have to protect their vast territory and resist the pressure from the human race.
The task was indeed quite demanding, requiring almost everyone to stay in the primordial universe, with no one left to guard the Demon Ancestor's small universe, and there was no need for it.
Just as the demon race in the small universe was filled with panic, a spaceship broke into the small universe.
The spaceship flew at high speed, frantically devouring various treasures while also swallowing the demons who were still alive.
"Unfortunately, most of the treasures in the demon race's treasury have been distributed to those universe lords, and there are not many left in stock."
The newcomer was none other than the Lord of Chaos City. Since Lu Yunhe had decided to kill Zhen Yaozu, someone was naturally coming to clean up his nearly collapsing little universe.
"But there's an unexpected surprise!"
The Lord of Chaos looked at the demon race geniuses, immortal gods, or cosmic venerables who had been swallowed into the palace's treasures. The value of these demons was, in some ways, comparable to the treasures themselves.
After all, the Lord of Chaos City would not hold back at this time and directly used soul enslavement on these people, taking valuable demons as their soul servants.
Among them, the demon race at the level of Cosmic Venerables are also the main focus of the Chaos City Lord's attention, but unfortunately, the number of Cosmic Venerables remaining in the small universe is not large.
The Lord of Chaos City looted the place briefly and then left, leaving behind a devastated microcosm.
At the very moment the Demon Ancestor died, the human army in the primordial universe was ready and marched directly into the demon territory.
"Run separately!"
Before his death, Zhen Yaozu also notified the universe lords of the demon race through the divine power avatar he left in the primordial universe.
Although he was deeply saddened and terrified by the departure of the Demon Ancestor, the Lord of the Universe quickly regained his composure and hurriedly led the demon geniuses he could gather to flee in all directions.
They dared not delay at all. If they were caught by the humans, they would either die or become soul slaves, both of which were unacceptable to the Lord of the Universe.
"Better to live than die." After sending a message to the demons they couldn't take with them, some of the demon lords returned directly to their divine kingdoms, while others used their divine kingdoms to teleport to extremely remote regions of the universe.
Within the primordial universe, with the divine kingdom's teleportation system, as long as one's home isn't immediately blocked, escaping is quite easy.
A single teleportation from a divine realm can traverse billions of light-years, making it impossible to catch up.
In addition, several other demon race universe lords chose to pledge allegiance to the former progenitor of the demon race.
If you can't find refuge with the strongest being in the universe, you'll still die after this cycle ends.
After the strongest one died, the remaining powerful beings in the universe had no ability to resist.
Therefore, when the human race invaded the demon race's territory, they encountered no effective resistance and easily took over the entire demon race territory.
Fantasy worlds rely too heavily on top-tier strength. Once the top combat power can no longer compete, there is no such thing as strategic depth; the only option is to flee.
"We've been locked in a stalemate with the demon race for countless epochs, and finally, the curtain has fallen. From now on, the demon race will never be able to cause any more trouble." The human race's cosmic lords stood in the core secret realm of the demon race, filled with emotion.
Having lost its main territories, and now only guarding its small divine kingdom and a remote border region, it's impossible for it to produce any truly talented successors.
"However, it will be very difficult to wipe out the demon race."
Luo Feng, who was still in the primordial universe, naturally followed, but unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to fight at all.
Unlike the Zerg and the Machine Race, the Human and Demon Races, due to their lower basic strength, have spread across almost the entire territory, appearing on almost every inhabited planet.
Even within the surrounding ethnic territories, there are two ethnic groups at the bottom.
Although they drove away the higher-ups of the demon race, they were completely unable to exterminate the weaker demon races living on the planet.
Just like the animals that evolved due to viruses on Earth in the past, they can be considered demons in some ways.
"Controlling the territory is only the first step. Next, we need to spread the traces of the human race throughout the entire territory."
However, this is not difficult, but it is annoying and very time-consuming.
It would be necessary to relocate batches of people from divine kingdoms or secret realms to various life-bearing planets within the demon race's territory, and then spend several generations to completely imprint these areas with the mark of the human race.
This method, on a cosmic time scale, does not require a long time.
……
Cosmic Ocean—Edge of Turbulent Zone!
At this moment, the Giant Axe Founder fought against three opponents alone, relying on his ninth-level attack power to battle the Mechanical Race Father God and the two strongest beings from the Purple Moon Holy Land, holding his own against them.
On the other side, the three strongest beings are the Mechanical Father God, whose strength is not weak due to his mechanical combat style. The other two strongest beings from the Holy Land, the Awakening True God and the Eight-Faced True God, possess several supreme treasures and should have no problem with withstanding the giant axe of the Founder.
"Damn it, my Purple Moon Holy Land has paid such a high price, and they are not even willing to help." True God Juehua looked at the Lord of Shihua Island and others who were watching from the other side, and was extremely dissatisfied.
Even though the Cosmic Alliance failed back then, the Purple Moon Holy Land still provided cultivation guidance for those who had broken through to the strongest level. However, the leaders of these forces completely disregarded this matter.
"Short-sighted. The Eternal Lord's strength has greatly increased, posing such a great threat to them. If they could capture the Giant Axe Founder now, they would have enough leverage to negotiate with the human race." The Eight-Faced True God sneered inwardly.
The biggest mistake of those in positions of power is thinking that because they have provided benefits, others should share those benefits.
However, in reality, no one can completely align their interests with those of others, since even their own interests cannot be aligned, such as money versus life.
"Zhenjiao is dead!"
The three strongest beings who were fighting the Giant Axe Founder clearly saw the divine power subside in the distance, and then learned of the demon race's defeat.
"too fast!"
The strongest onlookers were equally incredulous; the entire battle had lasted only a few minutes before the death of a mid-level strongest fighter.
Zhen Yaozu is not weak, after all, he has a supreme offensive treasure, and he still has eighth-order attack power.
Even so, it only lasted for a few minutes. How long could the strongest people without supreme treasures, and the strongest people with support-type supreme treasures, last?
For example, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance possesses a supreme treasure of the domain type, but its effect is even worse once the domain is suppressed.
"Retreat first!"
Upon learning of this situation, the two strongest members of the Purple Moon Holy Land were naturally somewhat flustered. They had originally thought that the strongest member of the Cosmic Alliance was on their side, which was why they had swaggered over.
With nearly ten of the strongest individuals joining forces, they wouldn't be afraid even if they encountered the original ancestor from back then.
