If You Can't Win, Run
"So this is a domain."
The geniuses who'd come to participate in the Battle of Geniuses stared at the dense purple mist with awe and longing in their eyes.
Even diviners were limited by the Laws. They couldn't move freely.
Of course, to truly transcend the Laws, one had to break through to the Transcendent realm.
Transcendence was too far away for them. Even for rulers, it was an unreachable realm.
Transcendence was too difficult.
In the history of the Upper Three Realms, only one person had truly transcended the Laws.
He was the first Star Lord of the North Star.
Everyone else, even the God Emperor, Demon Emperor, and Monster Emperor, were still limited by the Laws. Although they were infinitely close to transcending, they couldn't take that final step.
Although the chances of transcending were slim, becoming a ruler meant that they could at least truly rule over their own "domain," even if they still couldn't transcend the Laws.
Cultivators.
They lived for eternity. They lived to transcend the world!
As the geniuses of the Three Realms yearned for a ruler's "domain," Sha Ke's "domain" enveloped the black dog.
The moment the "domain" enveloped the black dog, it suddenly quieted down.
Its long black tail drooped to the ground, and its long, narrow eyes stared straight ahead.
Shockingly, there was an afterimage in the place it was staring at.
The afterimage was like a demon. Outside the purple mist, one could vaguely make out its head, which was more than three hundred meters long. It had an awl-shaped face and prominent cheekbones. Its large eyes glinted with a menacing purple light, and its gaping maw seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth. Its fangs were razor-sharp, and its long hair trailed the ground.
The black dog was staring at this afterimage!
Gradually, the black dog became restless under Lin Huang's gaze. It hunched its back warily and circled around in a two-meter radius. Its provocative gaze vanished, replaced by a very human expression of solemnity. Every now and then, it let out a low, uneasy growl.
"Mm …."
The black dog stopped, and a low growl filled with ferocity came from its throat.
Its sharp claws began to scratch the ground restlessly, its eyes filled with ferocity as it stared at the afterimage in front of it.
It sensed the threat posed by the afterimage.
It didn't know what the afterimage was for, but it was very uneasy.
"Do you think this black dog is a match for the Demon God of the Demon Clan?"
As the black dog faced off against the Demon God, Li Hu nudged Luo Zi with his elbow, then shot them a look.
Just like before, Jiang Wei's eyes were filled with indifference. His temperament seemed to be very dismissive of everything.
Earlier, when the Holy Maiden told him that Ye Zichen had the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he'd been slightly surprised. Even when Xuan Ji revealed Ye Zichen's shocking background, he didn't bat an eyelid.
The others didn't say anything either. They just stared ahead with solemn eyes.
"I don't think so."
Jiang Yong, who also wielded a battle-axe, chimed in.
"Can't it win? It killed a Devil General in an instant just now!" Li Hu said.
"Instantly killing a Demonic General is a surprise attack, and the difference between a Demonic God and a Demonic General isn't just a tiny bit. As you can see, this Demon God's domain can be said to be quite strong. Under the domain, he is the ruler. Although the black dog's cultivation level was unknown, it shouldn't have reached the level of a Demon God. If even a single battle pet can stand up to a Demon God, what kind of person is its master? "Jiang Yong asked.
"What should we do then? It should be on our side. Shouldn't we help it?"
With that, Li Hu nudged Ye Zichen with his shoulder.
"Platoon Leader Ye, do you know this dog? It seems to have come to save you. If you know it, then ask the Empress to save it! "
To be honest, Ye Zichen felt like he had seen this dog somewhere before.
When he saw the black dog, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
However, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, since they were here to save him, there was no reason for him to ignore them.
Given his cultivation, he was no match for the Demon God. He subconsciously glanced at Xuan Ji, but all he saw was an expressionless face.
It was clear that Xuan Ji would not interfere.
Jiang Yong shrugged at Li Hu, then turned to Li Hu.
"If something really happens to this black dog, its master will come out. You don't have to worry about it. Furthermore, this black dog's cultivation is absolutely high. It should be able to last a few hundred rounds against the Demon God! "
The Holy Maiden paid close attention to the Demon God and the black dog. She really wanted to see just what level the black dog was at and why it had struck fear into her heart.
The others did the same. They were all waiting for the black dog to make its move …..
"Mm ….."
The black dog let out another low growl. The onlookers couldn't help but arch their brows.
Was it about to attack?
The demon elites' gazes were solemn, but the yao and god race cultivators were filled with anticipation.
This was a Demon God, not a Demon General.
If the black dog could bite the Demon God to death, it would be a good thing for both sides.
They watched with rapt attention, all looking forward to the reappearance of the black shadow.
They never would have guessed …..
"Wuuu ….."
The black dog stared at the afterimage for a while, then let out a whimper.
The next moment, it wagged its tail, turned its head, and ran away, whimpering all the while.
"Dammit, is it begging for mercy?"
The God Race and Yao Race powerhouses couldn't help but ridicule. Was this black dog that didn't even put up any resistance and was just about to run away? Was it really the same black dog that had a look of disdain on its face and provoked the entire Devil Race, standing on the Devil General's face and pissing on him?
The difference between now and then was too great!
This time, it was facing a Demon God, a level higher than the Demon General.
But at least it'd put on a fierce front. Now that it'd run into the Demon God, it should at least take a bite or two!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this dog was a piece of work.
Those who'd been waiting for the black dog to create a miracle were speechless. They stared at the fleeing dog and couldn't help but sigh.
Run? Could it really run?
It'd already entered a ruler's "domain", but it still wanted to run? Wasn't that a joke?
If it didn't resist, how was that any different from waiting for death?
They could already imagine what would happen to the black dog. A few people were even hoping that it would make a final, desperate counterattack. Even if it couldn't kill the Demon God, heavily wounding it would be a good thing.
However, the black dog was determined to run away. It kept whimpering and barking at the same time.
Sha Ke stood beneath the purple mist, a savage grin on his face. Ever since he'd met Xuan Ji, he'd been suppressed. He'd lost all face, and the rage in his heart was enough to burn down the entire Divine Mountain.
He needed something to vent, and the black dog before him was ….
"You want to run now? It's too late!"
As soon as he spoke, the blurry figure in the purple mist opened its bloody maw. The fleeing black dog turned its head. When it saw the gaping maw, it ran even faster, its whimpering growing louder.
"Die!"
The gaping maw swallowed the black dog whole. The dog looked like it was about to cry. It howled at the sky.
"Didn't you say you could handle it? Now you're asking me for help?"
A disdainful voice suddenly appeared in the sky. When the black dog heard it, it howled a few more times.
"As long as you're afraid, that's good. Dammit, I told you to advance, but you're so arrogant. Do you know who's boss now?"
The black dog howled again.
"Get down, you little puppy!"
A gust of wind howled through the air, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. By the time the wind dissipated, the Demon God's purple mist had been completely dispersed.
