298: The battle continues! The fighting has moved on to Yanxu Pass!

Regardless of whether this was a deliberate scheme or the actual situation.

In that initial instant, the three races swiftly dispatched personnel, like lightning, to the lands of the Spirit Race and the Yao Race to investigate the truth.

At the same time, they instantly entered a state of high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The armies originally stationed adjacent to the Human Race's passes immediately retreated further backward.

In the blink of an eye.

The previously somewhat lax military discipline suddenly became strict and severe.

Looking out, one could see Warships responsible for reconnaissance shuttling back and forth between the stars, like busy looms.

Ultimate experts, Martial Artists above the Saint Stage, patrolled like ghosts, leaving behind terrifying silhouettes.

However, even though their reaction speed was fast enough, it still couldn't match the efficiency of the Human Race, which held the absolute initiative.

Just as the major Foreign Races' armies at the passes became alert.

And before the news regarding the Yao and Spirit Races had fully spread across the vast and boundless starry sky.

A figure had already crossed layers of star rivers and spatial barriers, arriving at the Human Race's primary great pass—Yanxu Pass—as if teleporting.

Above that massive pass, which stood majestically in the vast starry sky like an ancient colossal beast, was the Land of Nothingness.

Qiu Xia and Gongsun Cai, the second and third Immortal Kings of the Human Race, second only to Ou Mo, fixed their gaze on the young man before them, whose temperament had completely changed and who exuded a noble aura.

Their expressions were filled with inexpressible emotion.

"Good... good..."

After a very long time, all the pent-up emotions, sighs of admiration, sincere acknowledgment, and feelings of pride and glory surged out like a bursting dam within these two short words.

Lin Yan naturally understood their unspoken feelings.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he did not dwell on words within this emotional vortex.

Instead, his deep gaze was cast toward the distance, where a vast, dense fog completely shrouded and concealed the direction, seemingly hiding endless secrets and unknown destinies.

"Old Ancestors, let's move."

After all, the two of them were the mainstays of the race.

Especially under the current severe situation, which felt like the calm before a storm, there would naturally be no utterly foolish doubts or questions, nor any cliché, melodramatic scenarios of face-slapping counterattacks.

The two showed no hesitation, nodding decisively almost simultaneously.

"Alright!"

After a brief pause, Qiu Xia uttered a few key names.

"Hong Du of the Immortal Race and Xian Fu of the God Race—both are top-tier Immortal King Late Stage experts and require special attention."

"Additionally, Xi Chun and Gongyi Yao, who are at the Immortal King Middle Stage in both races, also require caution."

Lin Yan nodded lightly, a flicker of light in his eyes.

Counting them up, there were two Immortal King Late Stage and two Immortal King Middle Stage Martial Artists.

Such a luxurious lineup was indeed commensurate with the status of the two most powerful races in the starry sky.

Seeing that Lin Yan had no objections, Qiu Xia and Gongsun Cai exchanged glances, their eyes seemingly conveying countless pieces of information and determination, and then immediately set about making arrangements with swift efficiency.

Very soon.

RUMBLE—!

Yanxu Pass, standing in the starry sky, seemed to be suddenly awakened from a thousand-year slumber, letting out an earth-shattering roar. It rose up, emitting a heart-stopping aura of majesty.

Warships rose into the air in dense formation, like black clouds obscuring the sky and sun.

The cold metallic sheen reflected the starlight, gleaming with a chilling radiance, while the energy cores hummed, like a group of enraged steel behemoths poised for action.

Countless experts below the Quasi-Emperor Stage stepped onto the Void Realm, streaming out in succession.

They wore indestructible battle armor, their aura vast and fierce, like Gods of War emerging from the battlefield's purgatory, or like a torrent of steel forged from brilliant stars. Wherever they passed, space seemed to tremble.

The great army surged forward like a turbulent tide, forming streaks of dazzling light... Naturally, every action at Yanxu Pass did not escape the notice of the Immortal Race and the God Race, who had already entered a state of high alert.

The news spread as if it had grown wings, reaching both camps at the fastest possible speed.

In an instant, it was like a heavy bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing an uproar and stirring up monstrous waves.

In the Immortal Race's camp, Hong Du's originally relaxed and leisurely expression was instantly replaced by solemnity upon hearing the news.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with light of shock and vigilance.

Xi Chun, standing beside him, was also filled with astonishment. His lips trembled slightly as he softly murmured.

"The Human Race is actually launching a proactive attack...?"

The other Immortal Race experts also looked up one after another.

They whispered to each other, discussions rising and falling, creating a moment of panic and noise.

The news of the Yao Race's destruction and the Spirit Race's heavy damage still weighed heavily on their minds.

And now, this sudden massive move by the Human Race... Hong Du's face was as dark as water, and he spoke in a low, powerful voice.

"It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not!"

"Immediately send a message back to the Ancestral Court! The entire army is to stand ready and prepare to meet the attack!"

With the issuance of his order, the entire Immortal Race army instantly became busy, like a wound-up machine.

Warships swiftly shuttled through the starry sky like agile fish, quickly adjusting into tight and strong defensive formations, creating an impregnable steel fortress.

Martial Artists capable of traversing the starry sky gathered their Spiritual Power, their bodies radiating dazzling light, like brilliant stars shining in the night sky. Every one of them looked solemn and stood ready.

Over at the God Race camp.

Xian Fu's expression also turned incredibly grim in an instant.

He gave the same instructions as the Immortal Race without the slightest hesitation.

"Send a message to the Ancestral Court! The entire army is to immediately enter battle readiness!"

As the Human Race's great army gradually closed in step by step, the atmosphere in this vast starry sky became tense to the point of suffocation, as if the air itself had frozen, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone in the Human Race knew clearly that regardless of the final outcome of this great war.

Lin Yan's situation and the Human Race's long-hidden secrets would inevitably be revealed without reservation beneath this starry sky, like exhibits placed under a spotlight, with nowhere to hide.

Therefore, their current expedition must result in victory, and specifically, a satisfying and overwhelming great victory, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

Only by doing so could they consistently maintain an absolutely dominant position in the subsequent, ever-changing great war.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Immortal Race and the God Race were also perfectly clear about the situation.

Regardless of whether the Yao Race was truly annihilated or the Spirit Race truly suffered heavy damage.

In this impending great war, the Human Race would inevitably reveal their deepest, absolute secrets.

This battle was not merely about the simple outcome of a war.

It was more like a life-and-death gamble concerning the destiny of all forces under the starry sky, and no one dared to show the slightest slackness.

They could only go all out!
