In the field, there were originally seven Dao Lords of the Void Path, but upon the fall of Xu Huang Divine Venerable, these Dao Lords already had a premonition.
Two of them sensed the dire situation and quickly evacuated.
The remaining five...
Though they also felt the anomaly, they could never have imagined that the six Divine Venerables surrounding Alkaid and Penglai would be defeated so swiftly.
Compared to the tragic defeat of the Divine Race, they were more inclined to believe that Alkaid was merely outwardly strong but hollow inside, that under the sudden assault of the six Divine Venerables of the Divine Race, he had been slain on the spot. The fallen Dao Lord of the Void, they concluded, was this newly promoted Dao Lord.
A recognition formed over tens of thousands of years is difficult to change easily.
It's like someone claiming that a person could win an Olympic gold medal after training for less than a month, which others might also deem absurd.
