Chapter 1676
A moment's carelessness let the Demon Clan Old Ancestor completely fall into a disadvantage, not only suffering heavy injuries himself and having his combat power affected, but also letting the Nether Clan Old Ancestor seize the initiative.
So, as soon as they engaged, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor was completely suppressed and beaten by the Nether Clan Old Ancestor.
Meanwhile, Hong Zun and his fellow Shī xiōng, damn it, started up again at this moment.
The Star Battleship's attacks kept falling on the Demon Clan Old Ancestor and the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor.
Seeing the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's side already suppressed, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's expression turned extremely grim.
This balance has already been broken; given the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's current state and situation, it's basically hard to turn the tide.
Although a battle of Ancestor-level cultivators wouldn't be decided that quickly, if it continued, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's chances of defeat were high.
Even a little bit of grinding could grind him to death.
Originally the whole battle situation already showed signs of defeat, only their Ancestor-level side still maintained a balance, with no one gaining an advantage.
But this balance, due to a shout of anger from the Demon Clan Old Ancestor, was also broken, and the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor already felt somewhat desperate inside.
As for the others, especially the numerous Demon Clan powerhouses, seeing their own Old Ancestor being almost completely suppressed and beaten by the Nether Clan Old Ancestor,
each of their moods plummeted to the bottom, and morale fell like a landslide.
Already not low, at this point the Demon Clan side had many people already harboring thoughts of retreat.
Anyone could see that this battle basically had no chance of victory.
The Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor on this side persisted for a while, enduring constant harassment from Hong Zun and his fellow Shī xiōng, forcibly suppressing his inner anger while entangled with the Eternal Night Old Ancestor.
Seeing the Demon Clan Old Ancestor increasingly fall into a disadvantage, even though he was unwilling, he had to admit that they had lost this battle.
With no hope left, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor could only reluctantly send a mental message to the Demon Clan Old Ancestor, saying:
"Withdraw, there's no chance."
The Demon Clan Old Ancestor, who was struggling to cope with the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's fierce assault, suddenly heard the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's mental message, his teeth clenched tightly together.
His eyes filled with anger and unwillingness; after fighting to this point, letting it flee, he absolutely was not willing.
But he also knew that what the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor said was true; given the current situation, continuing to fight would be meaningless.
Moreover, if they continued to entangle, once his situation worsened further, he might not even be able to withdraw then.
Thinking thus, despite having ten thousand parts of unwillingness in his heart, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor finally issued a retreat order to the remaining Demon Clan forces on the battlefield.
Upon hearing the retreat order from the Old Ancestor, the Demon Clan powerhouses, who already had little fighting spirit, each without hesitation planned to withdraw.
If it weren't for the Old Ancestor being present, many Demon Clan powerhouses would have already fled.
At the same time, the Human Emperor Palace side naturally was the same; with the Demon Clan withdrawn, what use would they have staying? Just to die pointlessly?
For a moment, the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace suffered a total rout, while Haotu Shijie, Yongye, and the Nether Clan people launched a pursuit.
During the escape, another portion of the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace powerhouses were killed.
Still, some managed to escape, but after this battle, the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace, while not completely annihilated, suffered heavy losses.
After this battle, the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace are estimated to no longer be able to hold their position as top powers in Zhu Tian Wan Jie.
This is despite the presence of the two Ancestor-level beings, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor and the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, holding down the fort.
If there were no Ancestor-level existence, the strength of the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace would likely have dropped directly to the level of an ordinary world.
After all, in this battle, whether Demon Clan or Human Emperor Palace, the Emperor Sovereign-level experts, Great Emperors, Great Saints, and Saints suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Such casualty figures, even the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace could not bear.
The Demon Clan Old Ancestor and the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor also chose to withdraw in the flow of events; although the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and the Eternal Night Old Ancestor tried to block them, it was unsuccessful.
This is also normal; one side wanting to leave while the other tries to stop them is not an easy thing.
With the frantic flight of the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace, this battle was undoubtedly a complete victory for Haotu Shijie, Yongye, and the Nether Clan.
After a round of pursuit, until many of the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace powerhouses had fled out of sight, the crowd then burst into cheers.
Having won a great victory, everyone was extremely excited, especially the cultivators of Haotu Shijie.
Having heavily defeated the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace, the threat that had been hanging over their heads also dissipated completely.
After this battle, the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace will pose no threat to Haotu Shijie in the short term.
Meanwhile, on the other side, those who fled the battlefield of the Demon Clan and Human Emperor Palace, some boarded Star Battleships to escape rapidly.
Some even didn't board a Star Battleship, but couldn't worry about that much, only able to cross the Wújìn Xīnghǎi with their fleshly bodies.
Even if there were dangers, they had no choice; anyway, first escape the battlefield then talk.
On one of the Star Battleships, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor and the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor stood on the deck; the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's face was dark as iron, and he cursed angrily without regard for his own injuries.
"Damn it, damn ants, I will surely kill them."
If it weren't for the interference of Qi Xiong and his fellow Shī xiōng, causing its anger to flare up and thus momentarily distracted, how could it have been caught by that old ghost of the Nether Clan and suffered a successful sneak attack?
The Demon Clan Old Ancestor blamed everything on the Dao Yi Shengdi.
These ants, clearly they could be easily pinched to death, yet every time they suffer a major loss at the hands of these ants.
The Demon Clan Old Ancestor's hatred surged to the heavens; he wished to roar at the sky and ask this thieving heaven whether the Dao Yi Shengdi was born to be the natural nemesis and bane of their Demon Clan.
Why is it that every time they face the Dao Yi Shengdi, the Demon Clan suffers a crushing defeat and returns, never having won once from beginning to end?
Facing the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's furious tirade, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor beside him also had a grim expression, but he did not pay attention to the Demon Clan Old Ancestor.
After this crushing defeat, he must think about what to do next.
First, after this crushing defeat, the standing of the Human Emperor Palace within the Human Race became awkward.
All along, the Human Emperor Palace has claimed to be the orthodox lineage of the Human Race, the ancestral land; other Human Race forces, even if they felt displeased inwardly, out of fear of the Human Emperor Palace's prestige, remained outwardly respectful and dared not show the slightest opposition.
But now, after this defeat, will those Human Race forces still acknowledge the Human Emperor Palace?
Furthermore, with the rise of the Dao Yi Shengdi, will some turn toward the Dao Yi Shengdi?
These are matters the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor needs to consider; however, no matter what, one thing is certain.
Once the unshakable hegemony of the Human Emperor Palace among the Human Race, after this battle, it probably no longer exists.
Just as the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor was secretly pondering and the Demon Clan Old Ancestor was angrily cursing, three figures suddenly appeared on the deck.
Among them, one was indeed the divine maiden of the divine clan, Qing Shen Ji, who had previously appeared before Ye Zhangqing; and beside her were a white-haired old man and a noble lady.
