Chapter 184: Beyond Expectation

You sent messages to the major Human Race tribes, asking the strong to prepare for battle.

Yi and Yu, the two heroes second only to the Human Race's First True Ancestor, each led a powerful squad to aid.

Yi is a grudging person.

He can bear his hatred toward the Phoenix Clan for a lifetime.

Yu's struggle against the Dragon Clan lasted for years, and many of his people died in the floods caused by the Dragon Clan.

Yu's hatred is no less than Yi's, but he is not so flamboyant, merely acting silently.

Yi and Yu are exceptionally gifted; both have fully completed the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and the two squads together include four Tribulation Transcendence Stage strongmen.

This arrangement cannot dictate the war's direction between the Dragon Phoenix Qilin Three Tribes Alliance and the Elf Race, but it is enough to stab a knife at a critical moment.

"Chuan Clan Leader, what do you think the Insect Bird Pig Three Tribes actually want to do?"

Yi, puzzled, asked, "Starting a war with the Elf Race at this time is never profitable for them!"

Yu murmured, "It is indeed strange; aren't they afraid of other Ancient God Clans reaping the benefits?"

Looking across the entire tribal history, such a direct assault on an Ancient God Clan's stronghold is exceedingly rare.

You said gravely, "They must have a reason that forces them to act this way."

Yi grinned, "As long as we stop them, I won't rest in peace if those red‑feathered birds aren't killed!"

You watch the great battle from afar.

The Elf Race quickly recovered from its initial panic and launched a counterattack against the Three Tribes Alliance.

The Primordial Forest is ultimately the Elf Race's stronghold.

Here, every flora and fauna is a companion of the elves, and a massive Grand Array protects it, so the Three Tribes Alliance cannot break through.

As time passes, the Three Tribes Alliance's losses grow larger.

"What's happening?"

Seeing this, Yi laughed, "Looks like we don't need to intervene."

As his words finished, a terrifying aura suddenly descended, landing on the Ancient Forest light curtain.

On the once solid Light Wall, countless cracks appeared, and with a bang they shattered.

"That... what is... that?"

Yi stared wide‑eyed; even the ever‑fearless him showed a deep shade of terror.

"What a terrifying power!!"

Yu swallowed hard, expressing his shock.

You, also struck hard, murmured softly, "It has escalated to this point; everything is completely out of control!"

Yi looked at you, inhaled deeply, and anxiously asked, "Chuan Clan Leader, what exactly was the method the Three Tribes just used? Do you know?"

"Hmm."

You nodded and said gravely, "That power is called Ancient God Source Power."

"Ancient God? Source Power?"

For Yi and Yu, the term is unfamiliar, but the words 'Ancient God' alone convey its weight.

Few beings in the world have witnessed Ancient God Source Power, and you happen to be one of them.

The Human Ancestor's Ancient God Source Power left in your body once repaired your Perfect Body, allowing you to recognize it.

Each Ancient God's source power differs, yet they share a common trait.

Except for the ten Ancient Gods, no being can emit that trait.

"What exactly happened? They've even unleashed Ancient God Source Power!"

You are deeply worried.

This is not a good omen.

The reckless use of Ancient God Source Power proves the Ancient Gods' will is beginning to interfere with Shi Jie's operation.

For all beings, this is a calamity.

The Human Race's Tribulation Transcendence Battle seems to be the turning point of everything.

At least in that battle, you can be certain the Nine Ancient God Clans had no intention of using Ancient God Source Power against the Human Race!

Your gaze returns to the battlefield.

After the Clan‑Protecting Grand Array's Light Wall was shattered by Ancient God Source Power, the Elf Race suffered heavy losses and could only fight the Dragon Phoenix Qilin Three Tribes in a bloodied clash.

The Elf Race, like the Moon Clan, resembles the Human Race in form, but they possess a variety of skin tones, unlike the Moon Clan's uniformly silver skin.

The elves' most notable trait is the pair of wings on their backs, as thin as cicada wings, seemingly trailing luminous streams, dreamlike and illusory.

In terms of Physical Body qi and blood strength, elves are far inferior to the Dragon Phoenix Qilin Three Tribes; the outcome of a frontal clash is obvious.

The scent of blood pervades this Ancient Forest, which has known peace for countless years.

The Elf Race still fights to the death, continually retreating toward the core area.

At the center, an ancient tree radiates brilliance, gradually reconstituting the Light Wall; it is one of the Elf Race's most vital foundations, the Holy Light Ancient Tree!

"Chuan Clan Leader, when do we act?"

Yi nocks an arrow, eager, "If we don't act soon, the Insect Bird Pig's plot will succeed."

"Wait a bit longer."

Your gaze remains fixed on that area.

The Three Tribes Alliance has only used Ancient God Source Power once, so they must still have tactics; rushing forward now would easily lead to a dead end.

That power is far beyond anything you can counter.

Even if you reach the ninth realm of the Human Race's cultivation system and borrow Forbidden Domain power, you may still not match it.

In contrast, Yu remains much calmer, analyzing:

The Dragon Phoenix Qilin Three Tribes have all used Ancient God Source Power, and there's no reason the Elf Race wouldn't, but it's not yet time for us to act.

You continue to lie low.

You keep pondering the reasons behind this battle.

You infer the most likely cause: the balance among the Ancient Gods has been broken, and it may be verified before long.

You can't help but worry about the Human Ancestor.

Among the ten Ancient Gods, Human Ancestor was the last to create a race, and the Human Race's experiences indicate that their decision was the most correct.

At least for now, it seems so.

At the Human Race's current pace, surpassing the Nine Ancient God Clans is only a matter of time!

Therefore you worry that Human Ancestor will be targeted by those Ancient Gods.

If the Human Ancestor gets into trouble, the hard‑won stable situation of the Human Race will once again be tossed by wind and rain.

Boom!

While you are deep in thought, the distant heavens and earth erupt in violent turmoil again, and the aura of Ancient God Source Power reveals itself a second time.

I see.

You say gravely, "They have launched simultaneous attacks on many Ancient Forests of the Elf Race; they intend to annihilate the entire Elf Race!"

Not long after, a third strand of Ancient God Source Power also descended upon another Ancient Forest of the Elf Race.

The time has come!

Ancient God Source Power is extremely rare; the Human Ancestor has only left one strand each inside you and Sangyu, and the Dragon Phoenix Qilin Three Tribes can each produce one, which is already the limit.

Kill!

Your words barely finish, and Yi's Sun‑chasing Bow is already fully drawn; the blood‑burning Falling Moon Arrow bursts forth.

In the distance, another familiar aura rises.

You can't help but be startled.

Sangyu? She also came?
