280: The starry sky trembles; tensions are high!

What?

The supreme powerhouses of the Yao Race from all directions who were heading toward Xuanqing Pass all froze in place, their expressions instantly filled with disbelief.

Mangyu Demon Mountain is shattered?!

The Human Race! Counterattacking?!

What the hell kind of invincible starry sky joke is this?!

Wasn't that the direction where the Spirit Race and they were together attacking the Human Race's Chixuan Pass?

Particularly, some Yao Race Martial Artists who were rushing toward Xuanqing Pass from that direction were even more incredulous.

However, whether they believed it or not, the hoarse roars still coming through their communication tools were all confirming the events that had already occurred.

"Old Ancestor! Forefathers!!!"

"The Mangyu Sacred Court has already lost a Realm..."

The voice paused, as if someone beside them had suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"Another one lost!"

"Another Realm of the Mangyu Sacred Court has lost contact in an instant!"

Hearing these words,

Many Yao Race supreme powerhouses could no longer bother with the chaotic thoughts in their heads, as the flames of fury burned wildly in their eyes.

"Human Race!!!"

The supreme powerhouses of the Spirit and Immortal races, who had already noticed something wrong with their Yao Race companions, turned their heads instantly, a bad premonition rising in their hearts.

Before they could even ask what was happening,

Amidst series of roars, all the Yao Race supreme powerhouses heading toward Xuanqing Pass from every direction simultaneously changed course and vanished from the spot.

All they left behind were two extremely brief sentences.

"A great change has occurred at Chixuan Pass!"

"The Human Race has counterattacked into our race's territory!"

What?

The same two words appeared on the equally incredulous faces of the Spirit and Immortal race supreme powerhouses.

The Spirit Race Martial Artists, in particular, felt their hearts tremble.

There... wasn't Xuan Ping Old Ancestor there?

How is it possible?! What happened?!

Following closely was a surge of helplessness that flooded their hearts.

So now... what should they do?

Fortunately, this confusion did not last long.

The solemn voices of the Spirit and Immortal race Old Ancestors, who were already together, resounded through the communication tools of everyone in both races.

"Stay calm."

"No one is clear yet on exactly what happened at Chixuan Pass."

"Everyone, return immediately to your respective strategic locations. Further instructions will be given once the specific situation is understood."

Hearing these voices, the personnel of the two races did not hesitate for a second, turning around simultaneously with tacit understanding.

It had to be said.

The on-the-spot decision by the Old Ancestors of the two races was absolutely textbook.

They neither blindly followed the Yao Race to check things out upon hearing the news, nor did they continue toward Xuanqing Pass to carry out the hunting plan.

After all, before the situation was fully clear, the fire was burning their temporary ally formed for a common interest; the level of 'solidity' of such an Alliance was plain to see.

Therefore, if they went over without the consent of the Yao Race's upper echelon, there was a high probability the Yao Race would think they were trying to loot a burning house, thereby affecting the stability of the Alliance and giving the Human Race an opportunity in this great war.

And they didn't go to Xuanqing Pass for an even simpler reason.

Naturally, it was also because the specific situation was unclear, making them momentarily uncertain if the Human Race had set a trap for them.

In summary, returning to their original positions to wait for news was the best choice.

It could both prevent the same thing from happening in other directions for the Human Race and maintain the stability of the Alliance and the advantage they held in this war.

The choice of the Spirit and Immortal races was soon mirrored by the Demon and God races after they received the news.

Despite their disbelief and how incredible it seemed,

They all performed the same actions.

As for the situation of these Five Races, did the Human Race themselves know?

They... of course knew... High above Xuanqing Pass, in the Land of Nothingness.

Ou Mo, Donggong Li, and the others opened their eyes simultaneously, a sharp glint flashing within.

"The time is about right."

Ou Mo slowly stood up.

"We naturally cannot miss the opportunity Lad Lin has secured for us!"

"In half a day!"

"Advance the Imperial Pass! Counterattack the allied forces!"

"Yes!" The unified response shook the void.

At the same time.

At the other four Imperial Pass barriers of the Human Race besides Xuanqing Pass and Chixuan Pass.

The Head of the Supreme Academy—Lin Yuan, the Lord of the Mercenary Alliance—Che Guo'an, the Lord of the Starry Sky Bank—Qiu Man, as well as the two idle Old Ancestors, Qiu Xia and Gongsun Cai.

They all issued the same command at their respective passes.

"The time to collect interest has arrived!"

...This day was the day Lin Yan, after appearing at Xuanqing Pass and sweeping through numerous Quasi-Emperors, once again ignited the starry sky.

[The Yao Race's Mangyu Demon Mountain is shattered! Two Realms of the Mangyu Sacred Court were swept away in an instant! Highly likely the work of a True Immortal or an Immortal King!]

[Inferred from the great changes in the Yao Race, the Human Race's Chixuan Pass has most likely achieved a great victory!]

[But the Spirit and Yao allied forces found not a single survivor! No specific information can be obtained!]

[Yao Race supreme powerhouses are shocked and furious; all personnel are retreating to defend the direction of the Mangyu Sacred Court.]

[Additionally, the supreme powerhouses of the four races heading to Xuanqing Pass have stopped their plan to hunt Lin Yan and are about to withdraw to their respective strategic locations.]

[At the same time, the various rearward Imperial Passes of the Human Race have simultaneously launched counterattacks, seeking to gain an advantage during the vacuum of power in each race.]

Everyone, the entire Three Thousand Realms of the Starry Sky—except for the Human Race's upper echelon who knew the situation—all other races wanted to know exactly what had happened at Chixuan Pass.

Under such circumstances... this great war sweeping the entire starry sky reached another turning point.

One day later.

[All Realms of the Yao Race's Mangyu Sacred Court have lost contact!]

The Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky were shaken.

Two days later.

[All Realms of the Yao Race's Chizui Sacred Court and Tianmang Sacred Court have lost contact!]

The Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky were shaken again.

Three days later.

[All Realms of three more Yao Race Sacred Courts have lost contact!]

At this moment.

The Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky were violently shaken.

A clear answer had appeared in their minds.

The Human Race's Chixuan Pass was definitely a triumph! And it wasn't just any ordinary victory!

Because to sweep through six Sacred Courts at such a speed, the Human Race must possess at least five True Immortals and one Immortal King.

Adding to that, there was still no sign of the Spirit or Yao armies in that direction... At this moment, even the hearts of the Old Ancestors of the four races, who were frantically rushing back to their strategic locations, trembled.

There were two Immortal King Old Ancestors and many True Immortals there!

How could... how could... Does the Human Race still have hidden foundations?

Calculating that they would want to go to Xuanqing Pass to hunt Lin Yan, did those hidden foundations emerge in full force from Chixuan Pass? Using this to break their predicament?

Then... from the moment Lin Yan appeared and swept through many Quasi-Emperors, hadn't their Five Races completely entered the Human Race's trap?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt their skin crawl.

How incredibly patient they must have been!

And if it was like this, would the Yao Race's defense... be successful?

But they couldn't just go over as they pleased.

After all, the shift from a five-against-one setup to a four-against-two, or even evolving into a three-against-three pattern, was absolutely not just a simple matter of numbers.
