"No, Supreme Cloud!" The warriors below widened their eyes and laughed excitedly, "We have chosen to remain here voluntarily."
"To witness the battle of the supreme beings up close, even death would be worth it!"
"There are bloodthirsty spectators here too!?"
You are speechless. Although their plans were beautiful, this time things won't go as they wish.
Because—you snapped your fingers.
[After snapping your fingers, you declare to the demon lord before you that you will launch an unpredictable and incredibly powerful attack, which will annihilate them in an instant.]
The demon lords burst into laughter.
Then, these powerful, half-blooded divine beasts, who were like towering mountains to the hearts of the human warriors in this war zone, were all frozen in place, and perished in the next instant.
From the weakest mid-level human-grade Yang Bird Demon Lord to the strongest high-level human-grade Yan Dragon Demon Lord.
[In that instant, countless severe injuries appeared on their bodies. Some demonic bodies disintegrated, their flesh exploding, while others were torn apart alive, their bodies covered in numerous irregular wounds.]
[The phantom images of the five divine beasts, representing the origins of the five bloodlines—Golden Crow, Qiongqi, and the True Dragon of the Flame—projected out from the very center of the million-strong mountain range.]
Their power far surpasses that of those demon lords, after all, true pure-blooded divine beasts are all at the fifth realm in their complete form!
However, these five divine beasts were merely phantoms; they possessed only the appearance and an aura that even the innate could not suppress, but beyond that, they could do nothing.
[These beings, seemingly drawn from an ancient myth, gazed upon each other with sorrow, as if grieving the fall of their mixed-blood descendants. But as time passed, even they themselves would dissipate!]
The five Supreme Beings beside you remain silent. Before this battle, they knew what you were about to do, including Shi Lan, who was waiting nearby.
At that time, you claimed that this was a secret technique that required expending a certain amount of luck and could only be used once per essence blessing.
"This is the strongest secret technique of our ancient human race, a suicidal move that can only be used in times of life and death."
"I originally thought we wouldn't need to use this technique, because while its power is terrifying, it's also a method that injures the enemy three hundred while damaging yourself a thousand."
"Using this secret technique of fortune to kill a fourth-realm Venerable can consume enough fortune to create two or three future human Venerables; it's a self-destructive act."
"With the Qingyu Human Race's position among the top three, there's absolutely no need to resort to such a desperate tactic, risking the future for the survival of the race. I only need to continuously bestow blessings upon our essence, and we will gradually ascend to the top over the next few decades or even centuries..."
"But... after all, that is the legacy of the ancient human race for over a million years. I am unwilling to lose some of their secret techniques. I must at least use them, so that I can keep them as a memento."
"Fortunately, the strength of this Qi-enhancing technique is controllable. Some time ago, I tried using it on a mosquito."
When you got to this point, your face lit up with extreme surprise: "I discovered that the cost of using it can actually be paid for through two channels!"
"One is the normal, permanent depletion of my luck. The amount of luck required to kill a mosquito is extremely small, even less than one percent of that required for an ordinary baby."
"The other one uses my divine power 'Essential Blessing' as a medium. By consuming one Essential Blessing opportunity, I can use this technique without any additional cost, regardless of its scale or strength!"
[Shi Lan: "So you used up one of your Essence Blessing opportunities to kill mosquitoes?"]
"That's right (actually, no)."
[You quickly changed the subject and returned to the main point: "In short, this time I want to try it out in this war zone to see if I can still exchange one Essence Blessing opportunity for the casting of a secret technique."]
"Furthermore," you added, "essential divine abilities can offset the cost of using secret techniques, but there's still a requirement for the maximum strength they can unleash, namely, the number of powerful members of my own race around me when I use it."
"When I begin to use this technique, you must get as close to me as possible. It's a very mysterious and secret technique; even I don't know its principles. Just follow the instructions!"
[...]
The five great demon lords have fallen, and the phantoms of divine beasts have dissipated.
"Sixty seconds is definitely more effective; it took more than ten seconds just to persuade them all at once this time."
[You sighed inwardly, thinking how incredibly resilient the Four Realms were. This time, it wasn't just the five Supreme Beings guarding this place and you who made the move; Shi Lan, who had been concealing her presence and waiting hundreds of thousands of miles away, was also involved.]
[Shi Lan's true power has already exceeded three times, reaching an astonishing 1500 times, making her the undisputed strongest person below the True King level.]
[In reality, even without these inherent enhancements, he is still the strongest trump card among humans... That's why you didn't let him appear directly from the start, but instead hid him near the battlefield.]
[Because once they see him, the five demon lords on the other side will immediately scatter and flee, returning to their backup camp on the demon race's side to retrieve the sealed Primordial Demon Body.]
[This is also because he, as an "ace," cannot casually use his power against weaker enemy races, otherwise it would trigger a holy war, just like "the Demon King cannot act too often—it would cause the King of Destiny to fight to the death."]
Now that they are dead, you need not hold back. Rush to the other side of the Million Mountains and begin the slaughter.
[Demon blood rains down, and with a casual press, an area of a thousand miles becomes a death zone. However, because the force is so dispersed, powerful demons at the peak of the third realm often survive, requiring a small amount of true essence to kill them individually.]
[The second realm is like dust, the third realm like ants. Many demons possess divine beast bloodlines, and their combat strength at the same level surpasses that of humans. However, under the might of the Supreme Being, they die without any power to resist.]
Throughout this process, Shi Lan did not intervene. Both the demon and monster races were aware of the characteristics of his strength. If he had intervened, it would have been a violation of the rules to some extent, causing an imbalance and likely triggering a holy war.
[While your performance was no less impressive than that of the "racial ace," this was your first action, and from this point forward, you will be placed on the "war zone blacklist."]
[From now on, any further action will either be only if someone has provoked you, or if you choose to challenge a powerful enemy to a duel; otherwise, it will be seen as a signal to start a holy war.]
This is a "rule" that exists only among the three races, and perhaps half of the sea race as well. It is a "supreme deterrence treaty" established by powerful races of similar strength.
