A pair of murderous eyes gazed across 100,000 miles!

While following that intense gaze, Luo Yunyang felt the sky around him break up into countless cracks as though it was going to collapse at any moment.

The terrorizing gaze of that pair of eyes was sufficient to kill any martialists below the Yuan Venerate level.

However, these eyes did not have much of an effect on Luo Yunyang.

Luo Yunyang looked at the image on the map indifferently as he activated the powers of his Destructive Engulfing Finger Sky Law.

At the activation of those powers, the Divine Troops immediately began falling through the cracks in the sky.

All the Divine Troops were engulfed by the vortex of cracks in the sky as they were broken up by the powers of the countless laws now circulating in the area.

“Kill!”

The sound of streaks of blade rays filled the air as the surrounding sky and land began crumbling into many pieces.

The white armored cavalry continued marching onward despite the crumbling sky around it.

It seemed as though the calvary was not affected by everything that had just happened.

“Are those the Divine Troops?” Divine Ancestor Flowing Sky asked with a look of terror as the image disappeared from the screen.

His confidence had been boosted greatly ever since he had become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate and he had started to adopt a lofty attitude toward his lifestyle.

However, the earlier image of the magnificent Divine Troops threatened him greatly.

Judging from the might of the Divine Troops, he felt as though he would be instantly killed and broken into a million pieces if he were to go up against them.

“They are indeed the Divine Troops. My Master has read about their presence previously in an ancient book. There was only one line describing them in the entire records,” the Iron Deity said as he stared blankly at the screen that had shown that terrifying image.

“They only charge forward, they never falter, and they cut down everything in their path.”

Although the Iron Deity paled in comparison to the Bronze Monarch and the others, he was still among the top ten martialists who were present.

Even people as accomplished as the six Heavenly Rulers wouldn’t dare go overboard against a being like the Iron Deity. However, right now, there was a hint of fear in his voice.

“My Master also had a past encounter with these troops. Luckily for him, he was not their target.” Yuan Zi spoke up.

“Their target was my grandmaster, who was a peak Taiyi Yuan Venerate back then! Many people who knew his standards at the time said that if he was able to continue growing, then his strength would eventually peak out and he would one day save everyone from damnation.”

“However, he was tragically killed at the hands of the Divine Troops.”

What Yuan Zi had said was shocking. After all, he wasn’t just an insignificant figure in this big crowd of extremely talented people. When he informed everyone about the situation his grandmaster had encountered, everyone felt even more nervous.

“What shall we do then?” one of the Taiyi Yuan Venerates asked after a moment of silence. Everyone turned to Luo Yunyang and the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

“Their target is the Human Ruler this time,” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor said resolutely. “This means that the huge transformation of this place has already been noticed by that existence.”

The words of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor sent shudders down the spines of those listening. They knew very well that these words were very likely the truth.

“Our future depends on the Human Ruler. I believe that the Human Ruler should find a place to lie low for now,” Yuan Venerate Mingxin said while shooting a respectful glance at Luo Yunyang.

“It might be a good idea to hide from them for now. I have explored many areas during the many years of my training and I know a good hiding spot. Human Ruler, you might want to consider it if you do not mind the current situation.” The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor nodded in agreement.

Many of the people present also began sincerely advising Luo Yunyang to seek a temporary hideout.

Luo Yunyang felt uncomfortable seeing all these people advising him to hide but he knew that they only meant well.

He also knew that they were terrified at the prospect of having to fight against the Divine Troops.

“Why should I hide? They are only the Divine Troops, not the actual being responsible for the great calamities. How long would we need to continue hiding if I did so?” Luo Yunyang said resolutely.

“Even if I were to hide from the Divine Troops, we would all still eventually perish when the person responsible strikes. What we have to do is not cower any more but destroy these Divine Troops! We should meet them head-on and destroy them!”

There was absolute determination in Luo Yunyang’s voice as he looked at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor and the rest of the martialists present.

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor looked on doubtfully. Intellectually, he knew that the words of Luo Yunyang made sense.

If they were to hide from the threat of the Divine Troops, then how were they going to fend for themselves when the great calamity finally arrived? However, based on what he had seen in the ancient records and the abilities displayed by the Divine Troops, he strongly felt that the Human Race should continue to refine and hone its strengths.

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor pondered over the two suggested plans and found it hard to make an actual decision on what should be done.

Both suggestions had their own benefits!

Divine Ancestor Flowing Sky and the rest were hesitant as well. Even the Da Qian Master seemed solemn, although he had been jubilant after reaching the Taiyi Yuan Venerate level recently.

They also knew that hiding was only a temporary solution. However, upon witnessing the might of the Divine Troops and hearing the legends, they still felt that it would be better to hide!

Everyone had many different thoughts on their minds, and nobody was able to make a decision yet.

“Those who are willing to join my fight against the Divine Troops, come with me. Those who are unwilling may stay behind!” Luo Yunyang said decisively, addressing the hesitant martialists.

Even someone of Luo Yunyang’s caliber might not be guaranteed victory in combat against the might and prowess of the Divine Troops.

However, he knew very well that now was not the time to cower in fear and hide.

The Human Race would definitely lose its confidence in combat the moment he chose to retreat. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the over 100 Taiyi Yuan Venerates he had nurtured painstakingly would be severely weakened.

“The ancient records have always portrayed the vast might and powers of the Divine Troops. Today, I shall see whether they are true for myself.” Luo Yunyang heard the Da Qian Master announce this as he took to the sky.

“Ha ha ha! I do not believe that a Taiyi Yuan Venerate like myself would be scared stiff so easily!” shouted Yuan Venerate Mingxin as he rose to the sky.

Yuan Zi hissed loudly without saying anything as he did the same.

Ten of them, twenty of them, thirty of them…

The number of people following Luo Yunyang increased as they trailed behind him toward the boundless sky hurriedly.

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor looked on excitedly while he saw Luo Yunyang and the rest charging into the boundless sky.

Although he intuitively knew that there was a significant chance of this operation failing, he still had the urge to join this battle.

“Why are you not going along?” Divine Ancestor Flowing Sky heard his master’s voice ring out beside him.

“I cannot simply agree to Luo Yunyang’s rash actions. Even if we were to choose to face the Divine Troops in battle, we should be planning this carefully and not simply charging head-on,” he said solemnly. “Doing this might make victory even harder!”

“I have always considered you a level-headed person who will eventually go on to accomplish great things, but it looks like I was wrong about you,” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor replied. “Although you need to be level-headed to accomplish great things, you also need to know when it’s not the right moment to hold back.”

Divine Ancestor Flowing Sky looked embarrassed upon hearing that. However, he could not say anything else, as he was unable to match the cultivation and status of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

“Forget it!” said the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor as he turned away, even though he had initially intended to address the other disciples after talking to him.

Seeing him leave made Divine Ancestor Flowing Sky understand better the intentions of his master. However, even though he understood, he still could not quite trust Luo Yunyang’s impulsive decision to directly rush into battle.

When it came to the looming threat of this great calamity, he felt that one’s best chance would be to grow and nurture their own strengths steadily but surely.

As they broke through the sky hastily, Luo Yunyang covered a total of a million miles. Although he already had a battle plan, it was no longer relevant, as the people traveling with him had already increased their willpower and strengths greatly.

Furthermore, this plan was almost insignificant in the presence of such a strong fighting power. The presence of the Taiyi Yuan martialists meant that their spiritual consciousness was strong and that they were even more adaptable to making battle plans on the move.

That was why Luo Yunyang’s first response when he faced the threat of the Divine Troops was to fight!

Against the looming threat of this great calamity, cowering would mean certain annihilation for the Human Race.

The people he had nurtured did not disappoint!

As these thoughts were racing through Luo Yunyang’s mind, he caught sight of the mounted troops galloping through the sky.

The commander of the troops saw him as well!
