To put it bluntly.
Those humans with truly fierce personalities had already perished in the previous battle, having self-destructed.
Cultivators are not like low-ranking soldiers when they fight.
Given the possibility of self-destruction to injure the enemy, how many people would be willing to be captured?
Let alone the human race.
Even the other monsters, knowing they were doomed, were unwilling to be captured alive and decisively chose to self-destruct.
Even if they value their lives and are unwilling to destroy their souls and be scattered, they will still destroy their physical bodies to escape.
Whether in the lower realm or the desolate realm of the gods, Lu Tao encountered many demonic beasts and monsters, regardless of their cultivation level.
now.
These captured human cultivators, to put it nicely, cherished their lives; to put it bluntly, they were afraid of death, cowardly, and weak.
Such a person.
Lu Tao naturally couldn't take their angry curses to heart.
Lu Tao, being a fellow human, was naturally furious at the plight of the humans in the desolate region.
Even so, he wouldn't lose his composure because of it.
He knew all too well that the alliance of races had taken this action because he had put too much pressure on them.
They panicked.
"Lu Tao, you're asking for it!"
Lu Tao's sigh not only mocked the captured humans, but the words "little mudfish" enraged the powerful members of the True Dragon Clan.
A true dragon, how could it ever be addressed in such a way by other creatures?
What's more, this humiliation happened in front of almost all the powerful figures in the entire desolate region.
Ao Chen also stared at Lu Tao with a gloomy expression.
Lu Tao didn't care at all and said, "Don't look like you want to eat me alive. Since we're already enemies, do you expect me to be respectful to you?"
"Don't be so childish."
Lu Tao made a sarcastic remark, and without waiting for Ao Chen and the other powerful figures to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough with the nonsense, just say it. What is it you want with me?"
"Lu Tao, I'll ask you just one question: Do you want to save the Human Emperor? Do you want to save the human race?"
The demonic bull glared at Lu Tao with resentment and said sternly, "If you don't save him, then we will kill the Human Emperor and annihilate the human race in front of everyone. If you do save him, then show us your sincerity!"
"whispering sound!"
Lu Tao sneered and said, "Demon Bull, I am just a Divine Lord who has only been ascended for less than two years. I have no connection with the Human Emperor. Don't ask me whether or not to save the Human Emperor. You should ask them."
As they were talking.
Lu Tao glanced at the powerful figures such as Minghu, Cangyuan, and Sect Master Nie.
This implies that they are the Emperor's allies, not himself.
"you……"
The demon bull was furious, but Lu Tao's indifferent attitude made it feel like it had no power to use.
Fortunately, what Lu Tao just said helped them achieve their goal.
If Lu Tao could turn a blind eye to the deaths of the Human Emperor and the human race, then he could be even more likely to abandon the beings in the lower realm who believed in him.
All we need to do is spread this message to the lower realms and undermine Lu Tao's faith.
As long as Lu Tao cannot gain higher comprehension and cannot comprehend the rules without limit, then even if Lu Tao advances to God King with the Chaos Domain and Chaos Realm, his strength increase will not be that terrifying.
This incident also shows that Lu Tao truly has no goodwill towards the human race in the desolate region.
There was no sense of belonging.
His decision to come was probably because he wanted to stabilize the disciples within the sect.
The powerful figures like the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape also revealed strange expressions in their eyes.
In fact, they also understood that they had to save the Human Emperor; they could not stand idly by and watch the alliance of all races kill him.
otherwise.
They can choose not to save the Human Emperor now, but if they themselves encounter the same thing in the future, other powerful figures can also choose not to save them.
In that case, their so-called mutual support would be nothing but empty words.
The alliance of races could easily defeat them one by one.
This is not what they want to see.
But they didn't respond.
Because they could all see that now was the time for Lu Tao to clash with the alliance of various races, they decided to let them finish their own business first before talking to them.
Lu Tao's words caused a slight tension in the atmosphere.
but.
Just then, Lu Tao suddenly changed the subject and said with a hint of mockery, "However, you keep saying that I can save the Human Emperor, and I am very curious about what ability I, a mere Divine Lord, have to save the Human Emperor."
"A secret realm!"
Ao Chen uttered two words calmly, saying, "Of course, you certainly can't give us the secret realm. Our request isn't high either. Just tell us the specific uses of the secret realm so we can share it."
Upon hearing this, powerful figures such as Minghu and Cangyuan also focused their attention on Lu Tao.
"You all know the abilities of the secret realm. They are nothing more than increasing comprehension, talent, and sudden enlightenment of techniques. Moreover, the secret realm has been destroyed, so its effects are far less than before."
This was no secret, and Lu Tao did not hide it from him.
Especially after Lu Tao learned from the Luo Clan Master that the Alliance of Races had created a divine artifact with causal rules, there was no need to hide these almost open secrets.
Lu Tao laughed and said, "As for sharing the secret realm, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The secret realm is in the lower realm, and you can't go there."
Ao Chen said, "We cannot descend to the mortal realm, but we, the younger generation, can."
"Let's change our request," Lu Tao shook his head.
Ao Chen said coldly, "Lu Tao, you won't even agree to such a simple request? Are you really going to just stand by and watch the Emperor be killed?"
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that..."
Lu Tao sighed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The secret realm will not open again for another eight years. That's too long. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on until then."
"you……"
"presumptuous!"
"Lu Tao, stop your arrogance!"
The powerful members of the alliance of races were all furious.
Lu Tao's words were far too arrogant; they were practically telling them that he could kill them within eight years.
These words are far too harsh.
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures such as Minghu and Cangyuan were also filled with shock.
It takes immense confidence to utter such words.
It was absolutely insane to them.
Ao Chen was trembling with anger, but he felt a chill run through his body.
He wouldn't have taken such words to heart if others said them, but Lu Tao was an exception.
If it takes a little over a year to advance from the first level of Heavenly God to God-King, how much longer does it take to advance from God-King to God-King?
Logically speaking...
Even if the cultivation speed remains the same, it will still take at least several decades, and even if one cultivates to the early stage of God King, it would be difficult to become invincible as a God King.
But Lu Tao was different; he was acting too strangely.
Ao Chen had no choice but to believe these words.
Lu Tao was truly confident that he could kill them all within eight years.
The key point is...
Even if Lu Tao tells them this news, they can't escape it.
If they wanted to descend to the lower realm, all the spatial nodes were blocked; and if they wanted to go to other realms of the God Realm, it was simply impossible. For countless years, no one had successfully left. How could they possibly do so?
For some reason, Ao Chen had a vague feeling that Lu Tao's words were as if they were announcing their death.
In the blink of an eye.
A chill ran up the dragon's spine and straight to the top of the head.
He knew that Lu Tao's actions were intended to keep them in fear in the days to come, preventing them from peacefully cultivating the Hunyuan Technique.
Even though Lu Tao was exceptionally talented and not afraid of their improvement in strength, he still wouldn't let go of any opportunity to interfere with their cultivation.
Their meticulousness is simply terrifying.
Suppressing a slight panic, Ao Chen shouted, "Lu Tao, don't be so arrogant! Don't think I can't kill you!"
Lu Tao smiled indifferently.
Even Ao Chen himself probably wouldn't believe such a thing.
Ao Chen frowned upon seeing this.
He was angry because he couldn't feel happy even though he had achieved his goal.
After thinking for a moment, Ao Chen said in a deep voice, "Since this condition is not acceptable, then tell us the specific effects after the divine platforms are combined."
Lu Tao shook his head again, "This won't work either, let's try another one."
Suppressing his anger, Ao Chen continued, "Then tell us how the disciples of the Immortal Sect were able to cultivate to the peak of the Heavenly God realm so quickly."
He hoped to take this opportunity to extract some useful information.
"Still not working? Let's try another one!"
Ao Chen's expression immediately darkened.
It wasn't that Lu Tao disagreed with their demands, but rather it was Lu Tao's attitude.
Lu Tao's attitude gave him the feeling that he wasn't there to negotiate, but rather to chat casually, as if he didn't take their words to heart at all.
This puzzled him.
If you're not going to negotiate, what are you doing here?
Is it just to appease the Immortal Sect disciples and give them an impression that he cares about the human race?
But it's clearly not quite like that.
then.
Ao Chen made several more requests, but Lu Tao rejected them all.
This enraged the demon bull, who roared, "Lu Tao, if you won't agree to this or that, then what are you doing here in the human realm?"
"actually……"
Lu Tao was about to speak when he was interrupted by the mountain-penetrating beast with a cold laugh. The beast said, "Lu Tao, you're probably here to stall for time, aren't you? Although I don't know what you're up to, our clan has already hidden itself away. You have no chance of finding us."
In his view.
Lu Tao wanted to launch a sneak attack on the various races while all their top experts were away, just like he had done ten days ago.
Unfortunately, they have already learned their lesson and are unlikely to fall into the same trap twice.
When they came to attack the human race, they collected the members and resources of all the races into their small worlds and carried them with them.
They didn't give Lu Tao any chance at all.
Ten days is enough time for them to gather everything in their clan into their small world, leaving nothing behind.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao nodded with a smile.
"snort!"
Upon seeing this, the pangolin beast couldn't help but let out another cold laugh.
He was about to say something sarcastic when he saw Ao Chen's expression suddenly shift slightly. His large eyes looked indifferently at Lu Tao, and he said coldly, "Lu Tao, are you eyeing my clan's Dragon Transformation Pool?"
