Chapter 2728: Defeated Without Defeat

Time passed, and a hundred thousand years flashed by in an instant.

The battle in the void of time continued to be intense; the Seventh Golden Age and the Fifth Golden Age were indeed extremely brilliant eras of immortal Dao civilization, with no one-sided situation, and the fighting between both sides was extremely fierce, with victories and defeats.

Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang and many other Gu Huang, as well as cultivators at the Feathered Ascension Emperor Realm, while researching, flipped through battle reports from the void of time.

"The battle result between the Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivator and the cultivator who defies heavenly principles has come out, with casualties at a ratio of nine to one—this is indeed very rare."

Jiang Ding said somewhat surprised.

This casualty ratio of nine to one means that the Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivator, in solo combat or small-scale skirmishes, had to lose nine of his own before he could desperately kill one cultivator who defies heavenly principles!

This is extremely terrifying.

Who exactly is the Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivator?

The most proud and arrogant cultivator in the Wu Jin Kong Kong; some sword cultivators, when facing the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, sometimes even have the thought that they could take his place; their individual combat strength has always been the strongest in the Wu Jin Kong Kong, the most fierce and unafraid of death, and they always seek ways to find battle and slaughter even when there is no battle.

"Drawing the marrow of heaven and earth, defying the principles of heaven and earth——"

Bei Dou Gu Di and others were also shaken.

In their era, this path had already been lost, just as the primordial ancient scripture for attaining the Dao would inevitably be lost after the Fifth Golden Age, because the supreme existence at the peak of the path suppressed all; if one does not live in the era established by the master of the Golden Age, the corresponding path becomes extremely difficult.

Therefore, they did not know that this path was actually so transcendent.

This is an independent riding area of the immortal Dao!

Stripping away the concept of the world and integrating it into one's own Dao foundation, facing a blank-slate cultivator is equivalent to wearing armor against civilian cloth, with an advantage too great.

Even the Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivator, facing such a huge disadvantage, is somewhat helpless.

"No,"

"Our Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivators have not yet been defeated!"

Mie Dao Gu Huang said decisively.

He looked at the battle report; often, nine Great Suns plus sword cultivators are needed to kill one cultivator who defies heavenly principles, but there has not been complete failure, which means that in top-level battles, there has been no utter defeat, elites exhausted to death; otherwise, many middle and lower-level sword cultivators would have no room for resistance,

and would have long been slaughtered to extinction.

Mie Dao Gu Huang and many other Gu Huang opened a specially marked battle.

In the scene, from Yang Tianren facing a cultivator of the Qing Emperor Xuan Yang Golden Immortal Dao lineage, Yang Tianren transformed into a blazing great sun, slaughter fierce, sword Dao will has already reached the pinnacle beneath the supreme of the current terrestrial immortal era, one of the strongest youth sword Dao prodigies in the Wu Jin Kong Kong.

His opponent is a gentle and beautiful woman, behind whom the starry sky reflects a star field's forest, lush and verdant, full of vitality, with dew on the leaves.

This is the personal disciple of the Qing Emperor Xuan Yang Golden Immortal.

This cultivator, who only has the terrestrial immortal realm, actually intercepted the entire star field's opportunity for plant growth, the concept of plant growth!

Such a concept does not come from the void.

Since this terrestrial immortal woman intercepted the opportunity for plant growth in the star field, it means that in this entire star field, all worlds have lost the concept of plant growth, all plants wither and disappear, and the entire star field will never again have any green, nor any plant growth.

This is such a heavy price.

Can this star field, among so many great thousand worlds, thousand worlds, and minor thousand worlds, still recover? Yes, but the required time is too long—hundreds of millions of years, even tens of billions of years possible; compared to the terrestrial immortal's lifespan of merely two hundred thousand years, it is basically unsustainable.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang saw in his gaze that the Fifth Golden Age Wu Jin Kong Kong was so barren, and there is a reason for it.

In the eyes of the various emperors, the battle between Yang Tianren and the woman continues; Yang Tianren transforms into a destroying sun, repeatedly bombarding the surrounding forests spread across the star rivers, turning them into charcoal, igniting great fires, turning into piles of ashes, but in the end, tender yellow-green sprouts always break through the ashes, everything returns to its original state.

This personal disciple of the Qing Emperor Xuan Yang Golden Immortal, compared to ordinary terrestrial immortals, is excessively transcendent, practically immortal; even the great sun sword Dao prodigy who destroys sword Dao cannot harm her origin!

This personal disciple of the Qingdi Xuanyang Golden Immortal is far too transcendent compared to ordinary celestial beings—practically immortal; even the Heavenly Pride of the Great Sun Sword Dao, which destroys sword paths, cannot harm her origin!

"In their side, they call the Emperor Realm 'human immortal,' and the quasi-emperor realm is quasi-immortal? Somewhat arrogant, this immortal is not that immortal."

"On their side, they call the Emperor Realm 'Human Immortal,' and the Quasi-Emperor Realm 'Quasi-Immortal'? That's a bit arrogant—this immortal is not that immortal."

In the entire Wu Jin Kong Kong Golden Age, currently only a few, at most a dozen or so terrestrial immortals possess quasi-emperor-level combat strength, very extraordinary; these dozen or so people may achieve multiple Feathered Ascension Emperor Realms in the future.

In the current Golden Age of the Wu Jin Kong Kong, only a handful, at most a dozen or so celestial beings possess Quasi-Emperor Realm combat power—truly extraordinary; these dozen or so individuals may achieve multiple ascensions to the Feathered Emperor Realm in the future.

A Gu Huang commented.

The surrounding emperors had no opinion; battles at the quasi-emperor level, in their eyes, are as simple as a one-plus-one game, a glance over and the result is obtained.

Indeed, after more than ten days, the destroying sun that Yang Tianren transformed into remained dim, madly burning essence and blood to flee, breaking through layer after layer of forest chains, repeatedly narrowly escaping death, almost being drowned and strangled by vine-like giant pythons, but in the end, he always manages to escape miraculously.

Finally, Yang Tianren, with half his body turned to powder, successfully escaped.

Looking toward another battlefield, there are four Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivators of equal combat strength, one of whom has already died, made a mistake, the other three are similar here, truly unable to win, but can escape.

On the front battlefield, the immortal sect fleet and many cultivator troops rely on terrain to hard-resist, exchanging lives for lives, with the exchange ratio reaching as high as six to one.

Of course, this six-to-one ratio and the Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivator's nine-to-one casualty ratio do not count the ordinary cultivators of the Fifth Golden Age; only those who defy heavenly principles are counted.

Those ordinary cultivators of the Fifth Golden Age are too weak; the immortal dynasty can almost jump levels, let alone equal numbers in slaughter; it is truly difficult to give them respect.

In the void of time, it is simply a terrifying flesh-and-blood grinding disc; however many soldiers die, that many are replenished, endlessly, boundlessly, continuously devouring the proud bones and blood of the two Golden Age eras.

In the Spacetime Cavity, it is practically a terrifying flesh-and-blood grinding wheel—however many soldiers die, that many are replenished, endlessly and incessantly, ceaselessly devouring the bone and blood of heavenly prides from the two Golden Ages.

"Not bad, as long as not dead, it's fine; no death means no defeat."

Shi Xu Gu Huang sighed.

This principle of defying heaven and earth, at least below the supreme level, occupies too great an advantage.

Perhaps at the supreme level and above, when the supreme begins to grasp some power of the great Dao, perhaps it can change? No one is certain.

Perhaps at the level of the Supreme and above, once the Supreme begins to grasp some power of the Great Dao, change might become possible? No one is certain.

"No,"

"We have not only not been defeated, but rather achieved victory."

Huang Gu Da Di said in a deep voice.

"Although cultivators who defy heavenly principles are indeed powerful below the supreme level, the cost of cultivation is too high—often it is an entire minor thousand world, great thousand world, or even a star field's heaven-and-earth principle, difficult to recover, while we——we have cultivated cultivators of equal prodigy combat strength at a cost far lower than that of the Fifth Golden Age!"

"Cultivators who defy the principles of heaven and earth are indeed powerful below the Supreme, but the cost of nurturing them is too high—often it requires the cosmic principles of an entire Minor Thousand Worlds, or even a star field, which is difficult to restore; whereas we—we cultivate heavenly prides of equal combat power at a cost far lower than that of the Fifth Golden Age!"

Because our world has not suffered catastrophic destruction!

"This Emperor declares that at most two hundred thousand years from now, the Fifth Golden Great Age will lose the capital to wage a war of attrition against us, and will withdraw on its own, defeated without being defeated."

"What do you all, fellow Daoists, think?"
