The battle between you and the Dragon-Man Earth Venerable begins.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron is banned from the start as usual.

The Earth Venerable raises her demonic claw and presses down forcefully. A gigantic dragon's claw materializes out of thin air, delivering a powerful blow that slams the Nine Provinces Cauldron deep into the earth.

Although the 'Alien's Biological Father' trait boosts your qi and blood by a hundredfold, it doesn't enhance your perception by a hundredfold.

When this Earth Venerable explodes with speed, you simply cannot follow her movements.

Let alone trying to shoot her with the Trait Slingshot.

She should be at the Martial Saint Realm.

An overly large gap in cultivation realms cannot be bridged, even by a body full of traits and treasures.

Moreover, there are differences even among Martial Saints.

You have seen Dragon-Man tribe Martial Saints before.

Huo Feihuo, who guards the soul of the Qilin Guardian in the Demon World, is also a Martial Saint.

But you feel that even ten Huo Feihuos would be no match for this Earth Venerable.

Therefore, even if the Nine Provinces Cauldron hadn't been slammed into the ground, hiding inside its small world would be futile.

If Huo Feihuo could damage the small world from the outside, how much more so could this Earth Venerable.

Seeing you fight with all your might, refusing to give up even when covered in wounds, the Earth Venerable is in no hurry to kill you. Like a cat that has caught a mouse, she toys with you before the kill.

"Knowing death is certain, you still won't beg for mercy? I killed over a dozen Martial King Realm experts in the Shen Family. Even those powerful beings begged pathetically before death. Are there truly people in this world who are not afraid of death?"

"Ugly monster! There are plenty of things you haven't seen! Your daddy is just this awesome! So what!"

It seems the words "ugly monster" struck a nerve with this Earth Venerable. Her expression instantly turns cold, and she directly snaps one of your arms.

"Beg for mercy! I can let you be a dog by my side, licking my feet for me!"

"Pah! Ugly monster! Who the hell would want to lick your grimy, disgusting feet!"

The Earth Venerable breaks one of your legs.

"Beg for mercy! I'll make you my slave! When the human world is conquered, you can be the master of the other human slaves!"

"Pah! Humanity will never be slaves! Better to die than be enslaved!"

The Earth Venerable strikes again, breaking your other leg.

Now, you can no longer use martial arts to stay airborne. Your broken body crashes to the ground, your chest still heaving violently.

"Still won't beg?! Are you truly not afraid of death?"

"Hahaha! My Elder Brother told me that after death, we return to the Eternal Heaven! What is there to fear in death?!"

The Earth Venerable's gaze is complex.

It seems she has never encountered a human like you before.

Just as she is about to deliver the fatal blow.

A black shadow charges over.

The sound of hoofbeats echoes.

It's Black Wind!

Black Wind picks you up with his mouth, forcefully flings you onto his back, then, with black flames under his hooves, gallops wildly towards the north!

"Black Wind, it's useless, you can't outrun her..."

"Don't worry, Boss! Black Wind will definitely get you to safety!"

You feel that Black Wind at this moment seems much faster than before.

The surrounding scenery blurs.

But how could he possibly be faster than a Martial Saint flying through the air?

"This is..."

Unexpectedly, after the Earth Venerable catches up, she doesn't immediately kill you or Black Wind. Instead, she looks at Black Wind's figure with a puzzled expression.

Immediately after, her puzzled expression turns to surprise, even with a hint of wariness.

"Dragon-Scale Horse?!"

Huh?

You're confused. Why is this dignified Earth Venerable resorting to insults?

The next moment, the Earth Venerable raises her sharp demonic claw, reaching out towards Black Wind.

"Soul-Stealing Thorns!"

Countless sharp black needles blanket the sky, shooting towards Black Wind.

Black Wind seems to have eyes on his back, nimbly dodging them even while galloping at full speed.

Black Wind seems to have gotten stronger. Could there be a chance to escape today?

With only one hand still functional, you grip the saddle on Black Wind's back for dear life.

The Earth Venerable's wariness towards Black Wind becomes increasingly obvious.

She doesn't dare to swoop down and intercept directly, only launching long-range attacks from the air.

"What's wrong with her..."

As you keep running, you notice Black Wind's speed begins to slow.

Turning to look, you see Black Wind's hindquarters are a bloody, mangled mess, revealing stark white bone!

"Black Wind! Stop, don't run anymore..."

"No... Boss... enemy... still chasing..."

"I order you to stop!"

Black Wind doesn't listen.

But his strength is already spent.

With a *thud*, Black Wind collapses to the ground.

"Boss... run..."

Dragging your broken body, you use your last functional hand to stroke Black Wind's horse head.

"Black Wind, you have already proven to the world that you are a loyal horse. You are not a monster that harms people, nor are you an evil spirit. You are just a horse, a loyal horse!"

Hearing these words, Black Wind peacefully closes his eyes.

The moment Black Wind dies, the Earth Venerable's terrifying oppressive aura instantly envelops your entire being.

"To think there is a Dragon-Scale Horse in the human world. Who knows when it slipped over. Fortunately, its bloodline never awakened at all. It's nothing special."

You lie on the ground, using one arm to desperately push your body up, managing to sit.

"So, this horse is your natural enemy, right?"

All things in the world give rise to and restrain each other.

This is the Dao.

You deduced this from the Earth Venerable's earlier behavior and from the fact that Black Wind had once eaten a Demon Seed from the Dragon-Man tribe.

The Earth Venerable laughs loudly.

"Hahaha! You have it backwards! *We* are *their* natural enemy! Since when in this world has a natural enemy been wiped out by its prey?"

You understand.

This Earth Venerable is just being stubborn.

The Dragon-Man tribe, out of fear of the Dragon-Scale Horse, exterminated them.

Black Wind might be the lone survivor.

A natural enemy being unable to defeat its prey doesn't mean the food chain relationship is reversed.

Tigers also ate humans, but then humans grasped the truth in their hands.

Got another piece of intel. Profit.

"Ugly monster, do you know, the human world will win..."

The Earth Venerable is amused by your words.

"The Starry Domains have fallen, the Holy Lands have lost.

The Demon Tribe, thinking themselves clever, charged into the Starry Domains, but they are just turtles in our jar. What does the human world have to turn the tables?

Rely on the scattered, disunited Five Regions?

You can't even handle the demon spirits. You're not worthy of me and my kin taking action personally!"

The corner of your mouth lifts. Your face, covered in blood and grime, seems to carry a gaze from a higher dimension, looking down.

"You can win countless times, but I only need to win once!"

Your last hand, using all its remaining strength, slams violently into the earth.

A single palm strike creates countless fissures in the ground.

You burn the last of this broken body, charging fiercely towards the enemy!

"BOOM!!"

You die a heroic death in the world war against the Dragon-Man tribe!

Where will the fate of the human world go?

To know what happens next, await the next simulation!
