The trembling beneath their feet finally came to a halt.
Following the dimly lit passage ahead, Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan, and the others felt an indescribable heaviness in the air.
What if...
What if the so-called speculation of Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss was true? What awaited them next?
However...
If what Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss said was indeed correct, as the source of power for the entire Otherworldly Race, why were there no large Alien Army stationed here? Moreover, it was completely opposite to the direction of the cities established by the Otherworldly Race. No one would connect these two places together!
Lost in thought, the eight players and one NPC continued forward.
After sweeping through dozens of elite-level monsters, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan finally stepped into the third layer of Wuliang Mountain Heavenly Palace. The layout was not significantly different from the first two layers, except that there was a noticeable expansion in space.
After all, this Limitless Mountain was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom!
"Wow, another big one!" One-Handed Riding in the Sky exclaimed as he brandished his spear. After dashing nearly fifty meters ahead, he pointed towards a massive shadow in the darkness and warned, "Wind King Gab, a level 135 God-Level Boss!"
"Wind King?"
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but be taken aback. "Could it be that these so-called Eight Great Kings are actually named according to the Eight Trigrams?"
"Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire; Mountain, Thunder, Wind, Marsh!" Liu Yuhan chimed in. "We encountered King of the Marshes—Hachi—in the second layer. In this third layer is Wind King Gab. From the fourth to the ninth layers, they will be Thunder King, Mountain King, King of Fire, King of Water, Earth King, and Heavenly King!"
"Each one more powerful than the last?" The Terminator of Regrets retorted.
"Hey, so what?" Proud Dragon said, shouldering the massive Crossbow with a look of longing. "No matter how strong they are, they can't block our path!"
"Then you go!" Fallen Feather in the Sky replied.
Proud Dragon paused for a moment, then forced a smile. "We— I... mean, we..." He deliberately elongated the words, emphasizing "we" instead of "I." Since it was "we," then if they were to charge, they had to do it together, right?
"Here they come!" A serious voice suddenly rose.
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss reminded everyone once again that at the front, One-Handed Riding in the Sky was already prepared for defense. Yi Tianchen swung his Dragon's Roar and darted toward One-Handed Riding in the Sky while calling out, "Prepare for battle!"
※※※
On the other side of Limitless Mountain!
Watching the sudden shift of the Alien Army, the four Presidents were astonished but even more perplexed by this unexpected situation.
"What exactly happened over there?" Rebellious Blood Blade frowned.
"If I remember correctly, only one Dragon Slaying Team entered the Mist of Time, right?" Qianye stroked his chin and said, "Tsk tsk, it's truly unbelievable! A mere eight-person team can actually influence the entire Alien Army?"
"Whatever it is, this is an opportunity!"
Supreme Treasure glanced at the colorful radiance emanating from the Heavenly Dao in his hand, excitement rising in his eyes. "If we don't seize this chance to gain more now, when will we?" With that, Supreme Treasure waved to the Guild members and declared, "Brothers of Supreme Alliance, let's charge!"
"Charge!"
The members responded with great enthusiasm, raising their weapons in unison as they charged alongside Supreme Treasure towards the turning Otherworldly Race, clearly intending to launch a surprise attack while the Alien Army was repositioning, hoping to gain some advantage.
This plan was immediately endorsed by the other three Presidents!
In an instant, over two thousand members of the Four Major Guilds surged forth, taking advantage of the cover provided by Elena and Shiriel leading the System NPC Army. They launched a fierce assault on the turning Alien Army, quickly gaining a significant upper hand.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Groups of Mage Players gathered together, unleashing fireballs that, while not particularly powerful individually, combined to create a spectacular display as dozens or even hundreds streaked across the sky. The destructive power was amplified, and a concentrated barrage could wipe out small sections of the Alien Army.
Additionally, the ranged archers were proving to be highly effective!
They didn’t need any special skills; simply relying on their high-frequency attack speed and continuous Normal Attacks allowed them to create a massive area of concentrated fire. With so many archers in their ranks, the scene was truly impressive as they unleashed a flurry of arrows.
“Ha ha, this feels great!” Supreme Treasure exclaimed, raising his staff high.
Then, flames erupted into the sky as countless Fire Elementals surged forth. A massive Hexagram Magic Circle appeared beneath Supreme Treasure's feet, causing the Alien Warriors within its range to emit desperate howls.
The Fire Element Forbidden Spell descended boldly!
“Damn it!”
Witnessing this scene, Rebellious Blood Blade couldn’t help but feel conflicted. “The destructive power of that High Mage is really something to be speechless about!”
Divine Silence Dust Fate and Qianye exchanged wry smiles, unable to disagree!
A High Mage, especially one wielding a powerful Forbidden Spell, certainly commands envy with their formidable area-of-effect magic. The three Presidents couldn't help but glance at the weapons in their hands; the objective disparity was indeed overwhelming.
"We have no choice but to take them down one by one!" The Rebellious Blood Blade thrust his spear and toppled an Alien Warrior.
Upon closer inspection, these so-called Alien Warriors were not just tall and rugged in appearance; they also bore a fierce demeanor. If one had to make a comparison, they seemed somewhat more similar to "humans" than the usual monsters encountered.
At this moment, the System NPC Army clearly recognized the opportunity before them!
The vast System NPC Army rallied and launched a counterattack, beginning their most ferocious retaliation. Having just endured suppression from the Alien Army, each NPC soldier was brimming with anger, swinging their weapons with fervor as magical arrows filled the sky.
However, what was perplexing was that the Alien Army remained completely indifferent?
Yes, to put it directly, they were unresponsive. In the face of the players and the System NPC Army's assault, the Alien Army ignored them entirely and continued to veer towards the direction of Limitless Mountain, as if fearing that any delay would lead to their demise.
"This isn't right; something's off!" Divine Silence Dust Fate pondered.
Faced with such a situation, how could the formidable Alien Army remain unfazed? Their continued focus on Limitless Mountain suggested that there might be a crucial secret hidden there related to the Otherworldly Race.
But what could that secret possibly be?
Divine Silence Dust Fate looked up and gazed into the distance for a long while before finally opening his friend list and pulling up the message box for Fallen Leaves Whisper.
