Chapter 651 - 579: Let’s Have a Group Beating Anyway
The scene became awkward for a time.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor was at the bottom of the food chain, and Gulete had died at the hands of the Devil Race. He himself was only marginally better than the Purcell Royal Family Clan Leader. Without being able to use the Holy Artifact and still feeling weak, he was very clear about the pressure he was under.
He had never thought about facing them directly, considering a strategic retreat to be the primary goal.
It wasn’t in his nature.
Rather, the racial talents of the Devil Race were too terrifying. Death was one thing, but it was highly likely you would be devoured and become part of their strength... Gulete’s "Third Eye" had been devoured, an ability involving space that even the Ancient Spirit Emperor coveted.
Now, it was held by an envoy of the Devil Race, who’d grown even more powerful.
He couldn’t follow in Gulete’s footsteps. Struggling to the death was out of the question. As long as he could escape, he would be contributing to the human race.
Reinforcements?
The Ancient Spirit Emperor had no such extravagant hopes.
Green Shadow had lured and trapped the most terrifying world-level demonized beast, which was already "beyond the call of duty."
He felt that City Lord Tang, being the strongest combat power, must surely be engaged with other top-tier Green Shadow fighters against the world-level demonized beasts at this moment. Not to mention other Transcendents of the human race, who else wasn’t at a disadvantage?
He could only think of a way to retreat himself.
