A Hair's Breadth Away, Mysterious Reinforcements

Hu Shu took a deep breath, turned to the Mysterious Rogue Cultivator and the Human Race crowd, and said, "This matter is of great importance, and we cannot make a hasty decision. The priority now is to find clues about the ancient Divine Artifacts. Everyone go back and find all the ancient books in the settlement to see if we can discover any traces." The Human Race crowd nodded one after another and dispersed to search for ancient books. Hu Shu watched their retreating backs, secretly vowing that no matter what, he would find a way out for the Human Race. However, he did not know how many hardships and dangers he would encounter in the process of searching for clues.

Just as Hu Shu and the Mysterious Rogue Cultivator were about to go together to find ancient books, suddenly, the sky above Shouyang Mountain changed. The originally azure sky was instantly shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds. The dark clouds were as dense as ink, churning and surging, with faint flashes of lightning within.

"Not good!" Hu Shu's heart jolted, and he looked up at the sky, a strong sense of crisis surging in his heart.

Immediately after, the Invincible Domain flickered, emitting buzzing sounds as if it were under immense pressure. Hu Shu could feel the domain being impacted by a powerful force, on the verge of collapse.

"It's the combined army of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Demon Race! They've actually made a comeback!" The Mysterious Rogue Cultivator's face changed, and he said loudly.

In the dark clouds, countless figures appeared. There were Heavenly Origin Sect immortals holding Magic Treasures, surrounded by ethereal immortal energy; there were Demon Race powerhouses of various forms, exuding dense demonic energy. They advanced menacingly towards Shouyang Mountain.

"Human Race, heed my command, prepare for battle!" Hu Shu gave the order, and the Human Race quickly assembled. Although their faces showed fatigue and fear, their eyes held determination.

Guang Chengzi, a Golden Immortal of the Heavenly Origin Sect, stood at the front of the formation and sneered, "Hu Shu, you cannot escape today! Today is the day of your Human Race's demise!" With that, he waved his whisk, and a golden light shot out like a sharp sword towards the Invincible Domain.

At the same time, the Demon Race powerhouses also launched their attacks. Some spewed flames, some shot ice cones, and various attacks rained down upon the Human Race.

Under this powerful offensive, the Invincible Domain's light grew dimmer, and cracks began to appear at its edges. Hu Shu circulated his Spiritual Power with all his might, trying to maintain the domain's stability, but he could feel his strength gradually depleting.

Under Hu Shu's command, the Human Race, using their Magic Treasures and their own cultivation, resisted stubbornly. However, the combined army of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Demon Race was too powerful, and the casualties of the Human Race continued to increase.

"Could it be that the Human Race is truly destined to perish here?" Hu Shu's heart was filled with unwillingness, and sweat soaked his clothes.

Just as the Invincible Domain was about to be breached and the Human Race was in a desperate situation, a beam of colorful light suddenly appeared in the sky. The light was extremely dazzling, instantly dispelling the dark clouds and illuminating the entire Shouyang Mountain.

A Mysterious Woman emerged from the light. She was dressed in colorful robes, her black hair like a waterfall, her face exquisitely beautiful yet carrying a hint of authority. She moved with graceful steps, emitting a powerful aura, as if the entire world was trembling for her.

The Mysterious Woman waved her jade hand, and a colorful light barrier instantly spread out, blocking all the attacks from the combined army of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Demon Race. Then, she chanted incantations and rapidly formed hand seals. Countless colorful runes appeared in the sky, falling towards the enemy like raindrops.

Wherever the runes fell, powerful forces erupted. The Heavenly Origin Sect immortals and Demon Race powerhouses cried out in pain. The moment they were struck by the runes, their bodies were sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

The Mysterious Woman displayed her powerful divine abilities, instantly repelling the combined army of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Demon Race. Those enemies who were originally menacing now fled in disarray, like stray dogs.

Hu Shu and the Human Race crowd watched this scene, stunned. They were full of doubt about the identity of this Mysterious Woman, wondering why she would suddenly intervene.

The Mysterious Woman slowly landed in front of Hu Shu, looking at him calmly without speaking. Hu Shu mustered his courage and asked, "Thank you for your assistance, Senior. May I know your honorable name and why you are helping our Human Race?"

The Mysterious Woman frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then finally spoke, "The fate of the Human Race is intertwined with the future of the Primordial World. My intervention has my own purpose. However, I cannot tell you that purpose now."

With that, the Mysterious Woman turned to leave. Hu Shu hurriedly said, "Senior, please wait! I hope you can give us some more hints."

The Mysterious Woman stopped, but did not turn back. She simply said faintly, "Searching for the ancient Divine Artifacts may be the key to the Human Race's rise." After speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Hu Shu gazed in the direction the Mysterious Woman had disappeared, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts. Why did the Mysterious Woman intervene? What was her relationship with the Mysterious Elder from before? After experiencing this crisis, what would be the future of the Human Race?

At this moment, the colorful light in the sky above Shouyang Mountain gradually dissipated, leaving only silence. The Human Race crowd gathered around Hu Shu, awaiting his decision. Hu Shu took a deep breath. He knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, but he had to lead the Human Race bravely forward.
