The Human race was after all not the Desolate race. In the Divine Wilderness, they could not avoid coming into contact with all sorts of powerful desolate beasts. The deeper they went into the Divine Wilderness, the stronger the desolate beasts became.
Under such circumstances, even if they were not found by the Black-armored Demon God, they would still suffer heavy casualties. Hence, many Human race factions slowly gathered in the remote mountains. And this was also their final foothold.
And now, this final foothold was facing a fatal threat.
They were faced with two choices.
Fight! Or escape!
When this choice was raised in the meeting hall, the atmosphere turned repressive.
Fight was a battle to the death. Many people did not have the courage, and most importantly, they could not see any hope of victory.
As for escape, where could they escape to?
This was the remote mountains of the Divine Wilderness. Outside the Desolate race's sphere of influence, there were primordial desolate beasts all around. It would not be easy to escape!
Furthermore, they had to face the Black-armored Demon God's pursuit. The Black-armored Demon God was extremely powerful. Although he was alone, he seemed to be able to instantly appear anywhere. It was nearly impossible for anyone who was chased by him to survive.
"Your Majesty, I was fortunate enough to witness the battle between the Desolate race and the Black-armored Demon God. I wonder if the gigantic Skyfox that used its own strength to use the Desolate race's divine bone altar to withstand the Black-armored Demon God's attack can still fight?"
When the Black-armored Demon God stormed into the Desolate race's original camp, the entire Desolate race, the Lin family and the few other Tian Yuan world factions that had entered the Desolate race had no way of resisting the Black-armored Demon God.
Against the Black-armored Demon God, they could not even be considered an egg hitting a rock.
Without any suspense, it would be a massacre.
People had no heart to fight, and were only thinking of how to escape. And just as many people were in despair, a gigantic Skyfox appeared.
Back then, when the Human race warriors saw the Skyfox, they were all shocked.
The Skyfox had eyes that were as large as a lake. Its eyes were filled with indifference to life.
Its body filled the world, and behind it were six tails that resembled flood dragons. They were scarlet like fire, and as they danced in the sky, they were like divine flames that burned into the sky.
The Human race warriors did not even know what it was. And when the Desolate race warriors saw the Skyfox, even with the Black-armored Demon God's invasion and their lives on the line, many of them still knelt down and paid their respects to the Skyfox.
The Skyfox was the sacred spirit that protected the Desolate race.
Back then, not long after Jiang Xiaorou entered the Desolate race, she was able to obtain immense power and awaken her bloodline, becoming the new Desolate Queen. The main reason was that Jiang Xiaorou had obtained the recognition of the Desolate race's Sacred Spirit when she completed the ritual on the Divine Bone Altar.
Even the young genius teams that were nurtured by the Desolate race to enter the Soul Tomb to fight Blood Moon were nicknamed "Skyfox".
The Skyfox was the symbol and totem of the Desolate race.
However, the Skyfox usually slumbered in the Divine Wilderness. Even the Desolate race's Desolate Queen of several generations had never seen the Skyfox appear their entire lives, much less the Human race's experts.
The Desolate Queen who could see the Skyfox was either lucky, or like Jiang Xiaorou, they had obtained the recognition of the Skyfox.
The Human race did not know of the existence of the Skyfox. To many members of the Desolate race, the Skyfox was akin to a legend.
The Skyfox was mysterious and powerful. Although it protected the Desolate race, it did not receive any instructions from the Desolate race. In the past, the Desolate race and the Human race had fought numerous times, but the Skyfox had never appeared.
To the Desolate race, the Skyfox was the Desolate race's most primordial god.
But in fact, every generation of Desolate Queen knew that the Skyfox was a young fox left behind by the Azure Yang Lord after he came to the Tian Yuan world tens of millions of years ago.
This Skyfox that protected the Desolate race came from a place called the Sinkhole in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. When it was young, it was injured in the Sinkhole, and it was saved by the Azure Yang Lord.
Later on, although the Azure Yang Lord came to the lower realm, the Skyfox was too weak to participate in the war tens of millions of years ago. Later on, the Azure Yang Lord passed away, leaving the Skyfox in the Divine Wilderness.
Instead of saying that it was protecting the Desolate race, it was better to say that it was protecting everything the Azure Yang Lord left behind.
Over tens of millions of years, it was loyal to the Azure Yang Lord. However, sadly, it grew up in the lower realm, and was unable to absorb the worldly essence of the 12 Empyrean Heavens. It also lacked the heritage of the Skyfox race, so it was unable to fully express its life's potential.
Just like the Nine Neonate that was born in the lower realm, it was impossible for it to survive the nine Heavenly Tribulations. The Skyfox was also facing such a fate.
Tens of millions of years, it was already old.
It had spent its entire life in the Divine Wilderness. The Divine Wilderness, which was unimaginably vast to mortals, was like a tiny pond to the Skyfox.
It was impossible for the carps that grew in the pond to transform into divine dragons.
The Skyfox was the God Spirit of all the desolate beasts in the Divine Wilderness. It only silently protected them, and only when the Black-armored Demon God descended upon the Desolate race did it fight.
Even for the Desolate race, this was the first time they saw the Skyfox fight.
Its strength was shocking. It could use Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and the moment it fought, it could change the weather.
With the Skyfox's strength, the Desolate race had not only repelled the Black-armored Demon God, they had even injured him!
This was the first time the Black-armored Demon God was injured ever since he appeared!
With the Black-armored Demon God retreating, the Desolate race and the Lin family were safe. They had only lost a few disciples to the aftershocks of the Black-armored Demon God's first attack. As for the main elites and the experts in the race, they had sufficient time to retreat into the remote mountains.
The reason why they retreated was because the Skyfox had also been injured …
It was just too old.
In the lower realm, its strength and lifespan were limited. Even though it had been in slumber for the past million years, slowly, its life was coming to an end …
Even if it was in slumber, it would not live much longer. And this battle had greatly burned its life.
Now, the Skyfox was already extremely weak. And although the Black-armored Demon God had retreated, the former Desolate Queen's intuition told her that he would slowly recover his strength in a short period of time, and then make a comeback.
"Our race's Sacred Spirit is reaching its limit. It is probably not suitable for us to participate in the battle."
The former Desolate Queen shook her head. Her words immediately made the hearts of the Human race experts, who had pinned their hopes on the Skyfox, sink.
"It can't participate in the battle because it's reaching its limit? But at this moment … "A legendary human figure hesitated. In between his words, he was implying that the Human race and the Desolate race were on the brink of life and death. Countless people had sacrificed their lives in battle, so he hoped that, if possible, the Desolate race would make some sacrifices.
Upon hearing the legendary figure's words, the former Desolate Queen frowned slightly.
"Our race's Sacred Spirit is not a desolate beast tamed by our race, but our race's God. For tens of millions of years, it has protected our race, and has already sacrificed enough. I have no right to make our race's God sacrifice for our race. There is no need to mention this matter again!"
The former Desolate Queen was somewhat disgusted by the legendary figure's words.
Sacrifice was easy to say, but when it came to sacrificing oneself for the greater good, there were probably not many people present who could do it.
"If that's the case, then we can only retreat …" A legendary figure said as he gave Jiang Xiaorou a thoughtful glance. Actually, when the Black-armored Demon God stormed into the Desolate race headquarters, there was a tiny detail that surprised him greatly. It also made him secretly take note of it.
