Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1177 - 613: One-Slash Execution, Dark Fortress!

Behind the Dark Army.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor was hemorrhaging, as if struck by a severe backlash.

But it was stunned, its anger momentarily forgotten.

It had never dreamed that a mere glance at Lu Yuan would cause all its eyes to rupture?

What kind of scenario was this?

One must understand that it was a genuine Demigod-Level existence!

Facing a peer of the same level wouldn't cause such a dire backlash, let alone a direct confrontation with a Divine Level being!

"Who exactly are you? When did the Human Race produce such a formidable presence?"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor furrowed its brow deeply, inquiring solemnly.

"As a Demigod-Level Dark Alien, why is your power so weak?"

Lu Yuan, unfazed by the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor's interrogation, merely responded with a hint of doubt.

It had to be acknowledged.

This Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor possessed certain cunning; had other demigod-level powerhouses faced that strike earlier, a moment of carelessness would have led to a significant loss.

However, to Lu Yuan, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor's stratagems were deplorably feeble.

He hadn't even exerted his full strength; a brief activation of his Primordial Divine Power was enough to inflict severe injury upon the opponent?

Wasn't that excessively weak?

"Someone from the Human Race dares to claim my power is weak?"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's assertion, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets, almost losing composure entirely due to rage.

What a preposterous notion.

It was undeniably immensely powerful!

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Race, renowned for its peerless pupil techniques.

During its conquest of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, countless powerhouses had been struck with terror; even the Great Flame Ancestor never dared to directly confront its might.

And yet, Lu Yuan deemed it weak?

For the Dark Alien Race, which adhered strictly to the law of the jungle, this was an unprecedented humiliation!

"Damn it all!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor gritted its teeth, suddenly lunging forward, seemingly poised to charge explosively at Lu Yuan.

But in the very next instant,

its form faltered, abruptly shifting course and transforming into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing in sheer panic towards the rear.

This entire sequence unfolded in a mere flash, catching not only Lu Yuan but even the surrounding Dark Aliens completely off guard.

Their faces registered bewilderment, left standing dumbfounded, engulfed in utter confusion.

Who could have possibly anticipated that

a venerable Demigod-Level Dark Creature would choose to abandon the fight and flee?

"Intriguing."

Lu Yuan let out a wry chuckle, never having anticipated that this Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor would prove to be so pusillanimous, choosing flight the moment it sensed peril.

By the time he processed the situation, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor was already tens of thousands of miles distant.

Nonetheless, such a reaction was quite understandable.

Who among those who ascended to the demigod realm wasn't a shrewd and cunning individual?

Despite the Dark Aliens' bloodthirsty and warlike nature, they were far from mindless.

When faced with such a stark and insurmountable disparity in power,

the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor logically would not opt for a suicidal confrontation with Lu Yuan; instead, it decisively prioritized self-preservation through escape when the tide turned unfavorably.

Its speed was astonishingly swift, evidently employing some form of Escape Technique, rendering it imperceptible even to Divine Thought.

Even an immortal-level entity could merely discern a faint crimson line streaking across the firmament, desperately making its escape towards the Southern Domain Border.

And that region served as the primary stronghold for the Dark Alien Race!

Following their conquest of the Southern Domain Border, the Dark Alien Race had established a formidable base there, amassing a vast army and numerous alien powerhouses, including several Demigod-Level Dark Creatures tasked with its defense.

This signified, therefore,

that should the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor manage to reach the safety of that stronghold, it would effectively slip through Lu Yuan's grasp.

As for the countless alien soldiers it had left behind, though valuable, how could they possibly compare to the sanctity of its own life?

There is wisdom in preserving one's strength; a prudent individual always ensures they have the resources for future endeavors.

As long as its life was spared, the possibility of a resurgence would always remain!

Before long,

a colossal fortress, cloaked in an oppressive shroud of thick black fog, materialized within the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor's line of sight.

"Finally, I have arrived."

Upon sighting the imposing dark fortress, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor, having been in a state of heightened mental tension, couldn't suppress a faint smile, feeling as though a heavy burden had finally been lifted from its heart.

As long as its life could be secured, any price would be deemed acceptable.

Concurrently,

recalling the events that had transpired moments prior, a flicker of residual dread crossed its features.

That youthful-looking human possessed terrifyingly immense power.

Even a mere glance had inflicted upon it an unbearable backlash!

Fortuitously, sensing the unfavorable turn of events, it had decisively abandoned the entire Dark Alien Army and fled alone.

Had it lingered but a moment longer, its very life might have been forfeit!

"Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor, you bear the responsibility for the assault on Great Yan Imperial City. Why have you suddenly returned to the fortress?"

Before the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor could approach, several formidable auras erupted from within the shadowy fortress ahead, causing the very fabric of space to quake intensely.

In the immediate aftermath.

The dense, black fog churned without cease.

Five formidable figures emerged in unison, materializing not far from the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor.

Their appearances were diverse, hailing from various Dark Alien Races.

Yet, a singular characteristic bound them: each possessed an incredibly potent aura, surpassing that of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor by several degrees!

"I..."

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor merely opened its maw, attempting to utter a word.

But in the very next instant.

An overwhelming force of teleportation descended.

The form of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor instantaneously warped and distorted, finally vanishing into nothingness, as if evaporating before the assembled alien demigods!

"What transpires? The Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor has vanished without a trace?"

"Hold! Such potent spatial law fluctuations... could it be that the Dominator has intervened?"

These five alien demigods expressed shock and fury in equal measure, simultaneously overcome by a chilling, bone-deep dread.

That was the power of a true demigod-level expert!
