At this moment, streak after streak of divine light deep within Taiyi's brow strove to mend the sword scar deep in his Dao Fruit, yet they could not fully close it.
The damage inflicted upon him by the will of humanity continued.
Taiyi knew full well that he no longer had the power to turn the tide.
He had previously activated the power of the Taiyi Divine Aspect several times using portions of his origin, leaving his Dao Fruit exceptionally weakened. Now that he was injured—
Even if he circulated the Taiyi Divine Aspect to temporarily suppress the sword scar, he no longer had the strength to break through the humanity space formed by the Humanity Dao Diagram.
A faint trace of regret flickered deep within his eyes.
This was not Taiyi's defeat; it was simply the decree of fate, beyond the power of man to reverse.
Above the void, the three ancestral gods and several Human Race elders revealed their true forms within the humanity formation. Suiren clan's gaze fell upon Taiyi, and he suddenly spoke.
"Taiyi, you have lost. The facts have proven that your Ancient Demon Court is no longer suited to the times. You have been cast aside by the entire era!"
Taiyi glanced at him, his eyes calm as he replied.
"The victor becomes king, the loser becomes bandit—there is no need for more words. Today, my Demon Race has indeed lost, but not to you. We lost to the timing of Heaven!"
Rather than growing angry, Suiren clan laughed.
"Just like the Human Race and Demon Race of the ancient era—is that not so?"
At those words, the other Human Race experts—even the Human Race sages—could not help revealing traces of chilling mockery in their eyes.
Taiyi gazed coldly at the Human Race gods.
