However, a shocking scene occurred soon after that left all 18 Soul Formation Dao Lords in awe. The Mountain Lord's Token in Chi Hongyi's hand lit up with golden light. In the air, golden characters appeared:
[Request for Reinforcements Accepted!]
[Ancestor Feng Xing has been notified and is on the way. Estimated arrival at Luo God Dao's Baoshan Prefecture in one day.]
All the Soul Formation Dao Lords present saw these two lines of golden characters for the first time.
Lin Family's Ancestor held a high position in the Ancestral Temple. With just a casual remark, he had actually called a Great Ascension Realm Ancestor to investigate this matter. What was a bluff? This was the real deal.
Baoshan Prefecture was vast, but it was also small. For ordinary mortals, Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, Baoshan Prefecture was vast. They couldn't leave this place in their entire lives.
Baoshan Prefecture was also small, so small that even a Unity Realm Lords like Chi Hongyi felt it was small. As her divine sense spread, she could see everything in Baoshan Prefecture. There was no need to deliberately investigate anything.
Chi Hongyi noticed the small mountain range that Lin Xuan had been paying attention to all along. Xi Ti, a mid-stage Soul Formation Realm cultivator, had created a small secret realm using a precious treasure. In Chi Hongyi's eyes, it was like a piece of good leather.
Suddenly, a tumor had grown on it, which was too obvious. Other Domain Lords were much slower to react. But after noticing Chi Hongyi's gaze, they quickly locked onto the mountain range. Everyone looked at each other. In the next moment, they appeared in the sky above the mountain range.
"Should we activate the secret realm now?" Everyone hesitated as they looked at the secret realm below.
"No need. Let's wait for the Ancestral Temple's Ancestor Feng Xing to arrive," Chi Hongyi casually said. Since they had already asked for help, they didn't mind waiting for another day or two.
Indeed, geniuses were heaven-defying, but the Ancestral Temple had a saying: A living genius is still a genius. But, a dead person is no different from a clump of yellow earth.
Seeing this, the Soul Formation Dao Lords had nothing more to say.
Below, within the secret realm, Dao Lord Xi Ti had become numb.
"What's going on? How did so many Soul Formation Dao Lords suddenly appear? There is even a Peak Unity Realm Divine Lord among them. Who leaked the information?"
For a moment, Dao Lord Xi Ti started doubting himself."No worries, the ritual is almost complete. These people have arrived at the perfect time. They can serve as the first batch of sacrifices. This will elevate the connection between the two continents. The invasion of the human realm can proceed ahead of schedule," said the Emperor Lu on the other side of the dimensional tunnel. To Dao Lord Xi Ti, it was as if the heavens themselves had collapsed. In his eyes, they were nothing more than sacrifices.
"Now that the secret passage between the two worlds has been discovered, we don't need to wait any longer. Let the invasion of the human race officially begin!"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out within the dimensional tunnel. From the tone of the voice, it seemed that the owner of the voice was not weaker than Emperor Lu.
"Alright!"
"Agreed!"
"Passed!"
"I can't wait any longer!"
A series of unfamiliar voices Dao Lord Xi Ti had never heard before echoed from the other end of the tunnel. Dao Lord Xi Ti's face tightened, and his pupils shrank. For some reason, he had a feeling that things were slowly exceeding his expectations.
Boom!
Then, before he could react, a pitch-black pillar of light that extended for thousands of meters shot into the sky from the heart of the secret realm. In an instant, it broke through the secret realm's space, slashed through the sky over Baoshan Prefecture, and plunged downward.
Everything that happened within the secret realm was presented without reservation in front of Chang Hongyi and the others.
"Dao Lord Xi Ti!"
The crowd looked at the middle-aged man in Daoist robes and immediately recognized him. But it was only a brief moment. In the next instant, their divine senses were completely drawn to the countless cracks in space and the pitch-black pillar of light that pierced through the sky.
In almost the blink of an eye, the center of the pillar of darkness produced a very dense black light. In less than a moment, the entire sky over the Luo God Dao was shrouded in darkness.
"How is this possible? The power of the Ancestral Formation is blocked?!"
Suddenly, Tu Qi exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief. The moment the sky was completely sealed, his connection with the Ancestral Formation was completely cut off.
"How did I encounter such an unlucky thing in the spatial passage that connects two realms?"Chang Hongyi stared at the pitch-black spatial cracks, her voice low. Others couldn't recognize it and they couldn't feel the countless terrifying auras on the other side of the spatial cracks. But, how could the Mountain Lord of the Five Peaks, a genius of the Ancestral Temple not recognize it?
"Retreat!" Chang Hongyi didn't hesitate at all and directly ordered a retreat.
"It's too late for you to leave now! Obey and become sacrifices for our race's invasion!"
A haughty and cold voice resonated from the spatial cracks. Following that, a humanoid figure three meters tall appeared. Its entire body was pitch black. Its skin was ice-cold and armored like, covering its entire body, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes. It slowly walked out of the spatial cracks. Its body exuded the aura of a Peak Unity Divine Venerable.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Boom!"
However, in the next moment, a red light flashed. After the red light passed, the arrogant figure that had been speaking just a moment ago was blasted into pieces.
"Do you want to make me your sacrifice?" Chang Hongyi withdrew her hand and coldly looked at the explosion's location.
"You're asking for death!"
"Kill this bastard!"
"Emperor Lu has ordered that none of them should be spared!"
Boom!
Boom!
From the other side of the spatial rift, countless curses could be heard. Soon, Yisunshi appeared. Each of them exuded the aura of the Unity Realm: Early, Middle, Late, Peak… Practitioners of every level of Unity Realm. They came out of the spatial rift in groups of ten. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Unity Realm practitioners from the Zhan Clan had crossed the vast starry sea to arrive here.
"Race invasion!"
At this moment, Tu Qi and the other Hall Masters were shocked by the scene before them. They finally realized what was happening. Such a massive army of Unity Realm practitioners could only be produced by an entire race. Other races were invading the human world.
"It looks like we're going to have to fight with all our might today," Chang Hongyi said solemnly. She took a step forward. Barefoot, she lightly stepped through the void, approaching step by step.
"You all should leave this place. The upcoming battle is not one you can participate in," Chang Hongyi turned to look at Tu Qi and the others, calmly stating.
They had planned from the beginning to launch a surprise attack on the human world using high-end forces. Anyone below the Unity Realm had no relevance in the current situation.
Having said that, Chang Hongyi turned away, paying them no further attention. In the face of the survival of the entire race, all external forces could be abandoned.
