That mysterious 'general' was defeated, and his defeat was crushing.
At first, he had been very confident and in high spirits, and he even used his secret technique—the [Mysterious Principles of Space]—to drag 'Venerable White' into his 'spatial semi-world'. He had been confident to the point of boasting with that purple-robed cultivator that he could take care of Venerable White in five breaths.
Actually, he indeed had the strength to be this confident. He had used a secret technique to create this spatial semi-world, which was a type of 'domain'. In this domain, he could control all space. As long as he was inside his domain, killing a Venerable within five breaths was surely possible!
Thereupon, that general guy appeared inside the domain in his real form. His true form was that of a colossal gorilla wearing golden armor and holding a saber-shaped bronze mirror in one hand.
