301: On the eve of the decisive battle!

The spiritual tide surged, its undulating waves resembling a raging sea, churning wildly within the endless void.

Gradually, this violent spiritual energy began to level out, transforming into ripples of spiritual power clearly visible to the naked eye, slowly spreading in all directions as if recounting the end of a thrilling legend.

Lin Yan's eyes slowly opened.

In an instant, a sharp brilliance burst from his eyes, like the materialized light of brilliant stars, momentarily illuminating the void permeated with the scent of blood and slaughter.

He lightly scanned the starry battlefield below.

The smoke of war had not yet fully dispersed, and a faint aura still lingered.

The Human Race army had already begun the post-war cleanup operation in an orderly fashion.

The face of every Human Race soldier was clearly flushed with excitement.

【cultivation】: Immortal King Early Stage

【Physique】: Tyrant Body + Emperor Body

【Abilities】: Emperor Pupil, Emperor Power

【Law】: Supreme Law Level 10, Law of Space Level 5 (Under empowerment: Level 9)

【Set】: heavenly emperor halberd, Armor (Emperor Grade)

【Combat Power Evaluation】: Immortal King Peak

【overbearing charge value】: 200%

He withdrew his gaze from the panel, the light in his eyes flickering softly.

Immortal King Peak combat power... It seems that reaching Immortal Emperor combat power will still require some effort.

After all, compared to the Immortal King, the Immortal Emperor is a Realm with a fundamental difference in the power of Laws.

Thinking of this...

Lin Yan's heart remained as calm as still water, without much sentiment.

He turned his gaze toward Qiu Xia and Gongsun Cai again, a faint smile appearing on his face as he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

“Old Ancestor.”

“The Breakthrough is complete.”

His words were concise and understated, as if this were merely a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Qiu Xia and Gongsun Cai fell into a slight silence, their throats feeling so dry they seemed ready to smoke.

After a long while, they managed to squeeze out a single word.

“Oh.”

As soon as that word left their mouths, a blush instantly crept onto their faces, their hearts filled with embarrassment and helplessness.

What could they say?

That as Human Race Old Ancestors, their hearts were currently filled with confusion and shock?

Such emotions were truly hard to voice, and they couldn't bring themselves to lose face like that.

As for Lin Yan, the perpetrator and habitual offender, he naturally noticed nothing and remained composed.

He nodded gently again, and then his figure slowly rose from the emperor's seat.

“Then, Old Ancestor, I shall take my leave first.”

Before his voice had even faded...

Lin Yan's figure vanished instantly from the spot along with the gradually blurring emperor's seat.

Leaving behind only an empty void, as if he had never stayed there at all.

Qiu Xia: ... Gongsun Cai: ... The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with blankness and helplessness.

This...!

...While Lin Yan was acting with such swift decisiveness...

The situation at Yanxu Pass had already spread through the starry sky like a prairie fire, even extending toward the myriad races.

【Yao Race Exterminated, Spirit Race Heavily Damaged!】

Just as all the races were still full of doubt regarding this news, struggling to digest it...

Another piece of news flashed through the starry sky like a bolt of lightning.

【Human Race Yanxu Pass Army Dispatched, Directly Approaching the Immortal and God Race Allied Forces!】

And then... nothing!

No further news arrived!

Whether it was the Immortal Race, the God Race, or the Demon and Spirit Races who were closely monitoring the situation, none of them heard another word regarding the battle at Yanxu Pass.

It was as if everything had been swallowed by endless darkness, falling into a dead silence.

There were no follow-up battle reports, not a single shred of information leaked out.

However, it was precisely this result of having no news at all...

That acted like a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Immortal, God, and Demon Races, causing their expressions to shift drastically and alarm bells to ring in their hearts.

What did no news mean?

Thinking toward the worst-case scenario, it was undoubtedly a glaring conclusion!

Total annihilation! A total annihilation where they had no power to resist!

And to achieve the total annihilation of such a team... which on the surface had two Immortal King Late Stages, two Immortal King Middle Stages, plus numerous True Immortals, Great Emperors, and Quasi-Emperors.

And then to do it under circumstances where no news could even be sent out... what kind of strength was that?

The hearts of the remaining Old Ancestors of the various races trembled.

The Human Race army at Yanxu Pass previously led by Qiu Xia and Gongsun Cai?

They had this Heaven-Defying combat power?

What a joke! If they had, wouldn't they have slaughtered their way through the battlefield long ago?!

Why wait until now, having lost many Realms and countless clansmen?!

The answer was obviously no.

Then, combined with the news of the Yao Race's extermination and the Spirit Race's heavy damage that they had previously doubted...

Damn it!

The Old Ancestors of the various races roared in their hearts.

Did any of this still need to be questioned now?

Within the Ancestral Courts of the Immortal Race and the God Race.

Two aged and majestic figures had cold glints flickering in their eyes, like a pair of wolves waiting to devour their prey.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately chose to contact the two Immortal Emperor Ancient Ancestors of their respective races.

However, what they received in return was only a deathly quiet and silence.

“Just what is going on?” The old man in the Immortal Race Ancestral Court roared in anger, his voice like rolling thunder, causing the entire Ancestral Court to tremble slightly.

The old man from the God Race also had a face so gloomy it seemed it could drip water.

Immediately following that...

Boom—!

The two old men stood up abruptly at the same time, a terrifying aura erupting from their bodies.

They once again made the same decision, their voices resounding like great bells within the Ancestral Courts of the two races.

“Contact the other races; we shall jointly attack the Human Race's Yanxu Pass!”

“This time, no one is allowed to hold anything back!”

Numerous figures looked up in shock.

Then, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, they all immediately began issuing orders.

Every single person knew perfectly well what the upcoming great war signified... and the scene shifted back once more.

At the moment when several of the starry sky's overlord races reached this decision...

Within the vast and boundless starry sky.

A black-clad figure walked through the air like a phantom, his form traversing layers of space as if crossing the endless river of time.

This was, of course, Lin Yan after leaving Yanxu Pass.

What was his destination after leaving?

It was naturally a Human Race pass not far from Yanxu Pass—Quexun Pass.

A vital pass currently embroiled in the flames of war, suffering a fierce invasion by the allied forces of the Demon and God Races.

His trip this time had a clear and highly targeted purpose.

In his estimation...

After the various races received news of Yanxu Pass, they would inevitably consolidate their full strength in a short time to launch a joint punitive action.

And he intended to seize the moment before that to rush to Quexun Pass and wipe out the powerhouses of the allied forces there first.

Thereby achieving the goal of weakening the overall strength of the various races and disrupting their deployment.

To put it more bluntly, for him, this operation also held another layer of important significance.

To see if he could obtain more charge value, thereby further enhancing his own strength.

He himself was naturally fearless.

But he did not want the Human Race to suffer too many sacrifices in this war.

It was as simple as that!
