297: Are you kidding me?

Within the starry sky, the myriad races were all immersed in their own schemes and waiting.

They were still completely unaware of the fall of Zhong Kun of the Spirit Race and the catastrophic disaster currently befalling the Yao Race. They continued to restrain their patience, like hunters lurking in the shadows, quietly seeking the best opportunity to reap the greatest benefits from this ever-changing situation.

Meanwhile, the several top races standing at the apex of the starry sky's food chain were not idle.

With ulterior motives, they attempted to build bridges of communication with the Yao Race, vainly hoping to dig out some valuable intelligence from them to add a bit more certainty to their own race's future strategic layout.

However, the gears of fate were quietly accelerating.

As Ou Mo led the grand army of Xuanqing Pass on a direct and unstoppable drive into the Yao Race's territory, a bloody feast of slaughter officially commenced.

In the Yao Race Ancestral Court, the sole remaining Immortal King Old Ancestor was listening with a face full of shock to one roar after another filled with resentment and despair.

“Ah! Old Ancestor!!!”

“Immortal King!”

“True Immortals! Great Emperors! Quasi-Emperors!”

“So many! So many of them!!!”

Those shrill cries sounded like the roars of evil ghosts coming from the depths of Hell.

In just a few short minutes, it felt as if the Yao Race had experienced a nightmare spanning long eons.

Under the fierce assault of the Human Race army, the vast Yao Race territory was like fragile paper; in an instant, twenty to thirty Realms fell, ruthlessly destroyed and turned into ruins.

At that moment.

He suddenly stood up, staring fixedly at a thin, looming figure within the void.

“Human Race, Ou Mo!”

In that voice, disbelief, shock, anger, and deep fear were intertwined.

Where was our race's supreme team led by the four Old Ancestors: Li Heng, Qiu Hen, Que Ci, and Bi Qingan?

Why was the Human Race able to assemble so many powerhouses to invade our race's territory?

What on earth was going on?

Could it be... He shook his head violently, as if trying to drive that terrifying thought out of his mind.

How could it be! How is that possible! Absolutely impossible!

But reality was like a heavy slap to the face, striking him hard and leaving no room for further illusions or escape.

Because a powerful Divine Thought coming from the void had already locked onto him like a maggot on a bone.

Though the person had not yet arrived, he knew that for someone of their level, this distance was merely a few steps away!

He gritted his teeth, a flash of determination in his eyes.

“Run!”

This deafening roar instantly echoed throughout the entire Yao Race Ancestral Court, sounding like a desperate wail.

“Get the news out! Take it to the starry sky!!!”

“Run, quickly!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

He stepped out without hesitation, shattering the Void Realm.

His entire being turned into a streak of light, rushing toward the rapidly approaching Ou Mo... This day was like a heavy bomb exploding in the starry sky, becoming a key turning point of profound historical significance.

The borderlands where the Yao Race and the Spirit Race met.

A world-shaking boom resounded, sounding like the angry roar of the Universe.

A majestic Imperial Pass, resembling a reclining dragon, smashed through the Demon Mountain blocking its path with an unstoppable force.

Then, carrying endless majesty and a sense of oppression, it stood tall and heavy within this starry sky.

Though members of the allied forces, the Spirit Race soldiers who were still stationed here for a small portion of early warning duties witnessed this sudden scene. Their expressions changed drastically, as if they had seen the most terrifying sight in the world.

Their gazes were fixed on the Human Race military flag flying high atop the giant pass, as well as the dense array of Warships lining the pass and the Human Race soldiers standing ready. Their pupils involuntarily contracted to the extreme, their eyes filled with horror and shock.

“This!!!” Their voices trembled, filled with an air of disbelief.

“What is this?!!” One of the Spirit Race soldiers cried out instinctively, his voice carrying a tremor of despair.

“A Human Race Imperial Pass! How could a Human Race Imperial Pass appear here!” Another soldier stared with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

While retreating at high speed, they did not dare to slacken or delay in the slightest, immediately transmitting this emergency intelligence to their race at the fastest speed.

In an instant.

The Spirit Race Ancestral Court was the first to be shaken by this news.

It was as if a calm lake had been struck by a giant boulder, setting off stormy waves.

The moment the three remaining Spirit Race Old Ancestors heard the news, their faces turned as pale as snow.

A terrifying thought surged in their hearts simultaneously, coiling around their minds like a poisonous snake and making them shudder with cold.

Chixuan Pass hadn't moved, so the only one that could have taken action was Xuanqing Pass.

Given Xuanqing Pass's location, if it wanted to appear at the border between them and the Yao Race, there was only one path to take—fighting through the entire Yao Race.

But outside Xuanqing Pass... Their hearts sank suddenly, and they immediately tried to establish contact with Zhong Kun.

However, the only response they received was a deathly silence, as if he had completely vanished from this world.

“No! It can't be!”

They screamed frantically in their hearts, trying to deny this cruel reality.

But reality often liked to deliver a heavy blow when people were at their most vulnerable.

Suddenly.

The furious and shocked voice of the Spirit Race Old Ancestor leading the army outside Chixuan Pass reached the ears of the two Old Ancestors in the Ancestral Court through a communication tool, sounding like a clap of thunder.

“Ou Mo!”

“Ou Mo has appeared on my side!”

“The Yao Race! The Yao Race has really been fought through by the Human Race!”

“Spread the word to the starry sky! Quickly!!”

“The Human Race has hidden too deep! They are going for a full-scale counterattack!”

“They want to swallow us all up!!!”

However, before they could even recover from this string of shocks.

An extremely shrill scream came from the communicator.

Immediately after, the communication stopped abruptly, as if cut off by an invisible hand.

The hearts of the two Old Ancestors in the Spirit Race Ancestral Court trembled violently, their faces having long since turned as white as paper, with no color left at all.

Adding the one who had been sacrificed earlier in the battle of Chixuan Pass... and Zhong Kun, whom they couldn't contact.

Their Spirit Race... was left with only two Immortal Kings!

This!!!

This cruel reality made them feel a wave of dizziness, as if the entire world was collapsing before their eyes.

They didn't dare to hesitate for a moment.

Already in a state of extreme panic, the two of them scrambled to transmit messages, their voices full of madness and roaring.

“The Yao Race is exterminated! Our race is heavily damaged!”

“The Human Race! It's the Human Race!”

“They've opened a breach! They've shown their fangs!!!”

As this news instantly reached the ears of the Old Ancestors of the Immortal, God, and Demon races like lightning.

Their expressions all changed!

A grand change! A drastic change!

The Yao Race exterminated? The Spirit Race heavily damaged?

These two pieces of news were like bolts from the blue, making it difficult for them to recover for a moment, their hearts filled with shock and doubt.

What happened?!

What on earth happened?!

Weren't they watching and waiting for the best time to act?

How did intelligence of the Yao Race's extermination and the Spirit Race's heavy damage suddenly arrive?

All these changes were simply too fast and too sudden, catching them completely off guard.

A thought even occurred to them simultaneously.

Did the Yao Race learn something and then tell the Spirit Race?

Or did the Spirit Race learn something and reach a secret plot with the Yao Race?

In order to set a trap for their three races?

Otherwise, how could one of the overlords that had bestridden the starry sky for countless ages be wiped out just like that?

You've got to be kidding me! How is that possible!
