“The Human Race already has 99 Taiyi Yuan Venerates. How is that even possible?” the Si Family Patriarch asked in horror.

 This was immensely terrifying!

 Although the Ancient Six Families had already been brought away, the Si Family Patriarch still felt that he needed to annihilate the Human Race.

 The Si Family Patriarch believed that the Human Race had peaked when it had gone up against the Mysterious Underworld Race with four Taiyi Yuan Venerates. They had eventually been defeated even though they had someone as formidable as the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

 That was why he strongly believed that the Human Race would still eventually face total annihilation because of the impending great calamity.

 However, these thoughts of his slowly dissipated as waves of sky laws that originated from the various Human Race Taiyi Yuan Venerates rose into the sky.

 How strong were the 99 Taiyi Yuan Venerates?

 The reason the Human Race had suffered minimal losses the last time Luo Yunyang had assembled the five sacred halls to attack the Ancient Six Families was because they’d had a Taiyi Yuan Venerate Divine Ancestor backing them.

 The Human Race had 99 Taiyi Yuan Venerates right now!

 “What is going on in the Human Race?” The voice of the Yun Family Patriarch rang out.

 “I do not know for sure what is going on with them, but one thing is certain. If they continue to get stronger, the Ancient Six Families will be annihilated for sure,” the Si Family Patriarch replied with a shake of his head.

 “Do not forget that the Human Race hates us the most.”

 The Yun Family Patriarch did not reply. He was facing immense pressure at that moment. He was from the top family of the Ancient Six Families, so he had to respond well to the current situation.

 However, he really had no idea how to react to this!

 Once a certain level was attained, no amount of underhanded plots would have any effect.

 “What else can we do? Although a few of our elders are deep in hibernation, we will most likely not be much of a threat to the Human Race even if they were to fully regain their strength.”

 “What I intend to do now is ensure that our hideout is thoroughly concealed so that nobody will be able to find it,” the Yun Family Patriarch said dejectedly.

 “Otherwise, nobody might be able to save us.”

 The Si Family Patriarch would have mocked the Yun Family Patriarch if he had heard these words in the past. However, the energies radiating from the 99 Taiyi Yuan Venerates left him with nothing to say.

 The strength of these Taiyi Yuan Venerates terrified them.

 Suddenly, what sounded like hoofsteps echoed from the distant void. Thanks to his keen sense of hearing, the Si Family Patriarch immediately detected that the sound was coming from the sky above him.

 Why would there be hoof sounds when there were no roads in the sky?

 The Yun Family Patriarch looked on suspiciously while the Si Family Patriarch began doubting his own hearing.

 “What was that? Did I mishear? Sounds of hoofs were coming from the sky above!”

 The two Patriarchs turned their eyes to the sky above as they saw a cavalry troop breaking through the void and coming their way.

 White heavenly-armored Pegasuses that were standing at about ten meters tall and had scales like dragons were currently making their way across the nine heavens.

 Although there seemed to be only about a thousand, their grandeur and poise made it seem as though there were tens of thousands of them.

 It could even be said that these troops appeared to be unrivaled.

 “Are… Are these the martialists of the Human Race?” the Si Family Patriarch asked in trepidation as he looked at the towering troops from below.

 If these were the troops coming to attack the Ancient Six Families, then they would have absolutely no chance of defending themselves against them.

 The Yun Family Patriarch was speechless. He really hoped that these troops were not there to get them, but their appearance sent shivers down his spine.

 “They are not here to deal with us.” A mellow voice rang in the ears of both Patriarchs. They turned around but did not see anyone. However, they immediately recognized the voice. “Our respects, First Ancestor.”

“Enough with the formalities. These divine troops can destroy anything before the great calamity. Anyone who stands in their way will only be obliterated,” he said leisurely.

 “Their appearance symbolizes that the great calamity isn’t far off.”

 The Si Family Patriarch and the Yun Family Patriarch looked at each other in mutual understanding. “First Ancestor, besides us, are there still other loyal…”

 The Yun Family Patriarch hesitated for a while but ended up not completing his sentence.

 “They are not humans!” the voice replied.

 “They have the strongest bodies!”

 The Yun Family Patriarch was not satisfied with the answer he received. However, just as he was about to ask another question, the cavalry troops swept past them.

 The explosive might of these towering figures made them cower in fear. Although the masters of these horses did not display any kind of laws or might, their majestic poise had caused them to lose confidence in their ability to go up against a foe like that.

 “Do these divine troops have any weaknesses?” the Si Family Patriarch asked discreetly after watching the divine troops go far away.

 Nobody responded to his question. The cold wind blew past, causing the peak Taichu Yuan Venerate Si Family Patriarch to shiver in fear.

 “They are absolutely perfect. They are undefeatable!” The voice was heard once again just as the Si Family Patriarch thought that the First Ancestor’s spiritual consciousness had left them.

 Undefeatable!

 This word caused indescribable terror. The two patriarchs were also afraid.

 While they were replaying what they had seen earlier, another pair of eyes in the distance had also witnessed the entire happening.

The owner of this pair of eyes was hiding in the hideout of the Ancient Six Families. She breathed in lightly as she saw the divine troops cross over.

 A howl resounded through the sky, coming from a peak Taichu Yuan Venerate Galactic Star Beast.

 The Galactic Star Beast, which was a Taichu Yuan Venerate, was one of the reasons the Ancient Six Families were able to keep their hideout a top secret.

 That was because their hideout was in the domain of the Galactic Star Beast, which meant that it was a blind spot for the Human Race’s search. However, as the divine troops crossed over, the Galactic Star Beast felt threatened and released a loud howl.

 The divine troops did not stop moving despite the loud howl. Still, the last troop of the formation did turn around and shoot an arrow in the direction of the howling Galactic Star Beast.

 The instant this seemingly normal arrow was released from the bow, the howling beast was split into two.

 Its body and soul were completely decimated by the blow of a single arrow.

 The divine troop eliminated the Taichu Yuan Venerate beast as though nothing had happened and continued advancing forward.

 “The legends are true. These divine troops can eliminate anything that goes up against them! Their appearance means that divine punishment is impending!”

 “Who will be the target of their divine punishment this time?” The person hiding mused as she took out a small jade talisman and transmitted what she had just seen.

 The sky laws of the 99 Taiyi Yuan Venerates circulated the sky over the field of Donglu Town. Due to the presence of these sky laws, even Taichu Yuan Venerates would find it hard to activate their laws.

Yuan Zi was sitting in a lotus position on a mat. He had not broken through to the Taichu Yuan Venerate, but the energy that radiated from him was even more powerful than that of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

 While he looked calm on the exterior, his heart was beating excitedly as he looked at Luo Yunyang with sincere respect.

 Nobody left the field, even though Luo Yunyang had ended his talk a long time ago. Although there was a large number of people who had not broken through to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate, they were still excitedly meditating.

 They had already found the path to becoming Taiyi Yuan Venerates. All they had to do was follow the path they had set themselves up for.

 As long as they followed through, they would surely be able to get through and become Taiyi Yuan Venerates eventually.

 Yuanzi did not want to take any of the messages that were sent to him, but the special message sent via the jade talisman made him change his mind. Yuan Zi’s face was filled with disbelief when he read the contents of the message.

 Divine troops!

 Yuanzi was no stranger to these words. He had previously heard his master say these words and read them in some ancient books.

If the Great Calamity was a single existence’s doing, then these divine troops were its right-hand men.

There weren’t many records of the divine troops acting in the many times Great Eras had been obliterated, but every single time they did, it meant that a top-grade martialist of the Human Race would surely be killed in action.

 Today, they had finally shown themselves again!

 “Human Ruler, I just received some urgent news. The divine troops have appeared!” Yuan Zi said as he activated the jade talisman that showed the location of the divine troops.

 Luo Yunyang was in the process of reviewing his insight into the Taiyi Yuan Venerate cultivation path. He too had benefited greatly from engaging in the talk he had given.

 He definitely would not have any difficulty breaking through to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate if he wanted to. However, he felt that the time was not right yet.

 Divine troops!

 Luo Yunyang’s gaze instantly fell on the map showing their whereabouts. The martialist in control of the front stallion suddenly looked in that direction.

 His eyes darted over quickly with murderous intent!
