The Fall of Great Sages
No one knows what the situation is like in the dimensional space.
The two armies retreated an unknown distance until they were completely free from the influence of the dimensional space.
At this moment, the battlefield has been ravaged by the energy emanating from the dimensional space, leaving it in a state of utter devastation.
Various spatial cracks crisscross the area.
Cut by the spatial rift, the entire battlefield resembled a piece of pork being put into a meat grinder.
Those spatial rifts are like the blades of a meat grinder.
With the help of these blades, the pork was quickly cut into countless small pieces.
Both sides were terrified!
After all, pork and such are just metaphors; what we see before us is the real universe.
The mere release of power was enough to divide the universe into such a state, demonstrating the true extent of the Great Sage's strength.
The Original Self, hidden in the shadows, was also meticulously observing the dimensional space, just like the armies of both the human and demon races.
However, as time went on, the Original Self discovered that the power continuously injected into it, belonging to the Pillar of Creation, was decreasing.
Although the magnitude is small, it is real.
The reason why the Demon Race did not act rashly despite having the advantage, but instead chose to recuperate for 60,000 years.
On one hand, it's because of the unknown Great Sage Original Self, and on the other hand, it's because of the power of the Pillar of Creation.
Legend has it that in the battle to annihilate the Demon Race, the Human Clan, despite having two Great Sage severely injured, ultimately relied on the power of the Pillar of Creation to defeat the Demon Race's saints.
This shows just how powerful the Pillar of Creation is!
Now, seeing the power of creation gradually waning, the Original Self's heart is also on edge.
They wanted to step forward and help, but felt powerless to do so.
Let alone the Original Self, at this moment, it would be impossible for any Great Sage to enter.
The power of a battle between twenty-two Great Sage was immense; even the power that was only partially revealed was something that no single Great Sage could withstand.
Therefore, at this moment, the Original Self had no choice but to wait like everyone else.
All he could do was silently pray that the Great Sage of the Human Clan was safe and sound.
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned.
Under the watchful gaze of the Original Self, the rate at which the creative power diminished accelerated.
In the end, not even a trace of aura could be sensed from the void.
How is that possible?
The Original Self, hidden in an unknown space, frowned deeply. Its perception had been developed to the extreme, yet it still could not detect any creative power.
"This... the power of creation? It's vanished?"
The two armies were unaware of this situation at the time; their attention remained focused on the dimensional space.
They watched as the dimensional space turned the surroundings upside down, whispering amongst themselves.
"As expected of the Great Sage, this power is simply incomparable to the Supreme Powerhouse Being!"
"I used to think Elder Jian was strong enough, but now I see he's not even on the same level!"
"Of course! Otherwise, how do you think the title of Great Sage came about?"
"Huh? What's that sound?"
"What else could it be? It's the sound of space shattering, of course!"
"No! Listen more carefully, it sounds like someone is crying!"
Upon hearing this, everyone used their Divine Sense to carefully perceive the situation.
But after a long while, nothing was found.
"Sixth Brother! Are you alright? Who's crying?"
"Yes, Sixth Brother! Every one of those who participates in the great battle is a man of steel. We're not afraid of crying, or even death! I think you're just hallucinating because of your Blood Qi!"
The immortal known as the sixth one also felt that what the other party said made sense, so he subconsciously shook his head, trying to dispel the damned auditory hallucination in his mind.
Unfortunately, the sound was like a leech, growing stronger with his movements rather than diminishing.
What surprised him even more was that he hadn't perceived the sound through his Divine Sense, but had heard it with his own ears.
Are you kidding me?
This is the void; even immortals know that sound cannot travel in the universe.
Just like the previous battle between humans and demons, if you only rely on auditory perception, it would be like watching a movie in complete silence.
Although it looks grand and massive, it is completely silent and therefore not very vivid.
In such circumstances, powerful beings who roam the universe will use their Divine Sense.
Under the influence of Divine Sense, one will no longer be affected by the vacuum environment, regardless of what one hears or hears.
Both the human and demon races are already used to this situation.
"No! Old Six is right, someone is indeed crying!"
"What are you talking about... Huh? I heard that too!"
"It can actually be heard directly? How is that possible? Is it the Great Sage's Divine Ability?"
At this moment, both humans and demons, from lowly soldiers to top-level Supreme Powerhouse, heard that eerie crying sound.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
This mournful cry can not only spread freely in a vacuum, but it can also be detected by hearing without the aid of Divine Sense.
What they didn't know was that the cries echoed not only across the Human-Demon Battlefield.
It even wanders throughout the entire universe.
Whether in the rear of the Human Clan or within the countless lairs of the Demon Race, mournful cries whispered their sorrow to the ears of all living beings.
Even the Original Self, who had long since detached herself from all emotions, felt a cloud of sorrow accumulate in her consciousness the moment she heard the crying, and it lingered for a long time.
As for the others, needless to say, even powerful figures like the Three-Legged Golden Crow and Peng Tianlin shed tears.
In an instant, the Human-Demon Battlefield turned into a scene from a melodramatic soap opera.
One by one, the strongest beings in the universe became resentful wives in their boudoirs at this moment.
Even though she tried to suppress her grief, her eyes were like a breached dam, unable to hold back the gushing tears.
"Waaaaah! What's wrong? Why do I feel so sad?"
"I don't know either, sob sob, I just feel so sad, like I've never been this sad in my entire life!"
It is unknown how much time passed before the mournful cries echoing through the universe gradually faded away.
Everyone finally emerged from their grief.
Before they could react, the 'whooshing' sound rang out again.
The tears that had just stopped welled up again.
This was repeated three times before they stopped.
After everyone had finally managed to compose themselves, they realized that the commotion above had become barely perceptible.
The Human-Demon Battlefield has returned to stability.
Then a crack appeared in the dimensional space.
The three figures plummeted as if falling from a great height.
During the descent, Human Clan clearly saw the faces of the three people.
His eyes were wide open, his face was deathly pale, he was beyond dead!
"The Great Sage Chenhuan, the Great Sage Leiji, the Great Sage Piaomiao Realm—how is that possible?"
Looking at those three familiar faces, Peng Tianlin felt as if his entire world had collapsed.
He had considered the possibility of the Human Clan's defeat, but he had never imagined that the Great Sage would die!
But the facts are there, leaving him no choice but to believe them.
The Original Self, who was in an unknown space, understood everything that had happened when it saw those three faces.
"The Great Sage has fallen! The world mourns!"
