The towering bodies of the Giant Spirit Gods were covered in wounds. They roared and bellowed, driving back one Royal Lord after another, like two powerful lions encircled by a pack of hyenas. Despite their immense strength and overwhelming power, the huge disparity in numbers allowed their small foes to run rampant.
At this moment, there were almost 100 Royal Lords gathered around Ah Da and Ah Er!
The Giant Spirit Gods were powerful indeed, but they still had their limits in the end. Even together, Ah Da and Ah Er could barely handle the 100 or so Royal Lords attacking them all at once.
With the Giant Spirit Gods fully occupied, the Black Ink Clan were finally able to pour out of the Grand Restriction unrestrained. Powerful auras emerged from the opening one after another and joined the battlefield.
All the advantages that the Human Race Army had worked so hard to build up were melting away under the constant stream of enemy reinforcements.
The war had reached a most despairing point.
Yang Kai still had not shown up.
The Human Race Army had suffered huge losses in this battle. Whether it be their numbers or Warships they were relying on, it was hard to keep up.
The many defences deployed on Pure Yang Pass had also been blasted apart. At this moment, Pure Yang Pass was only covered by a few layers of the simplest defensive Arrays. If they were to take a few more attacks, then it was likely that even these last barriers would be broken.
Standing up on the wall, Mi Jing Lun sighed in his heart.
The limit of the Human Race had already been reached at this point of the battle. If they continued to engage, the last of their forces would be buried here.
[Have we failed? Have we not done enough?]
[No! That can’t be!] Since the Black Ink Clan invaded the 3,000 Worlds, thousands of years had gone by. The Human Race had not only recovered their homeland but also organized a strong force for a second crusade! They had crushed whatever stood in the way until they reached the Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction! They had done well enough!
A few thousand years was a very short time for the development of an entire Race. That the Humans could recover from almost total annihilation to what they had today was a feat worth being proud of.
However, their enemy was simply too strong.
From Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction, the Black Ink Clan’s reinforcements kept coming, and no matter how many Royal Lords were killed, more would appear to take their place.
Even with the two Giant Spirit God’s to support them, it was impossible to stop this.
“Wu Kuang!” Mi Jing Lun called out through his surging Divine Sense, “How much longer will Junior Brother Yang take?”
“Not much longer,” Wu Kuang responded, “but we can’t just rely on him in this war. Once he finishes his side of things, Mo will completely awaken, so he will have his own opponent! And if Mo awakens, the Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction will completely shatter. Once that happens, those hidden in the Grand Restriction will swarm out; when that happens, you will see the scale of the Black Ink Clan Army is much more than what you are currently seeing now.”
“Then, is he a match for Mo?” Mi Jing Lun asked another question.
Wu Kuang answered without hesitation, “Naturally not. If he were to face off against Mo with his current strength, a death without burial is sure to await him.”
Mi Jing Lun was silent for a moment, “So to say, what we, the Human Race, are up against, is an unscalable wall.”
Wu Kuang responded, “You could say that.”
“Then there’s no other way…”
“What are you planning to do?”
A bitter look appeared on Mi Jing Lun’s face, “Nothing. Junior Brother Yang told me about his encounters in the Universe Furnace previously, and he also mentioned something at the edge of the Universe. He anticipated the situation today before the war began, so he left a path for the Human Race to retreat to.”
Wu Kuang was surprised, “The edge of the Universe?”
“It’s a long story,” Mi Jing Lun did not have the time to explain in detail, “Junior Brother Yang told me that if the Human Race really was no match for the Black Ink Clan, there was no need for us to go down fighting. He told us to preserve our power as much as possible and he will bring our remaining kin to another World where we can find a suitable place to live.”
Wu Kuang wondered, “Such a place exists?”
Mi Jing Lun was honest, “I don’t know, but if Junior Brother Yang says it does, then it definitely exists.”
“If it does exist, it’s not a bad choice… I will try to buy you some more time. If you want to retreat, then go quickly. We can’t predict what will happen if things continue to drag on.”
“Many thanks,” Mi Jing Lun thanked him, knowing that Wu Kuang might put himself in danger by doing so; after all, the ones in charge of holding back the enemy while the Army retreated were always in the most dangerous position.
After coming to a decision, Mi Jing Lun did not hesitate any longer. In this current situation, every moment of delay would further increase the casualties to the soldiers.
However, to be forced from their homeland like this, to a new World in a place they did not know… It really was shameful.
But reality did not give the Humans much choice…
As he was about to pass down the order, Mi Jing Lun suddenly sensed something and turned to look into the distance.
He didn’t see anything at first, but in the next instant, a bright light swept over from that direction, and in the next instant, the distance grew much closer, and the light also became clearer.
[So fast!] Mi Jing Lun was astonished.
Right now, he was a Ninth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, and if he exerted all his strength, he could reach immense speeds, but even at his best, he would probably not be able to reach a tenth of that light’s speed.
Such speed was not inferior even when compared to Yang Kai’s Instantaneous Movement.
[Who is that?]
The direction the light came from was from beyond the Spiritless Land, where the Human Race Army had also come from. In other words, the one arriving was most likely a Human Race Master.
But, was there such a Master among the Human Race? When the Army set out, all Masters who could participate in the battle were conscripted. Those who were left behind were either the old, the infirmed, the children, or those with insufficient cultivation. How could there be such a Master hidden among them still?
Just as Mi Jing Lun was feeling taken aback, the other Ninth-Order Masters and Royal Lords in the battlefield also sensed the unfamiliar aura.
Nobody paid attention when they first sensed it, as who would dare to be distracted when fighting a life-and-death battle? But in just a few breaths, all the Masters wore astonished looks on their faces.
It was because the unfamiliar aura was approaching the battlefield at a speed beyond what they could fathom, and following the approach of that aura, a powerful force that made even the Ninth-Order Masters and Royal Lords tremble pressed down on them!
