The Witch Tribe Great Witch's face darkened as he stared at the mysterious light in the sky, filled with unwillingness. Hu Shu, meanwhile, warily watched his surroundings. He knew that although this mysterious power had temporarily eased the crisis, the Witch Tribe would never let the matter rest. After their brief surprise, the Human Race also fell silent. Everyone wondered where this mysterious power had come from and how they should deal with the Witch Tribe's next attack.
Just as the Human Race's resistance was becoming increasingly difficult, a mysterious, gentle light suddenly poured down from the sky. It was like the warm sun of spring, yet carried an indescribably sacred aura as it enveloped the Invincible Domain. Faint runes seemed to flicker within the light, vanishing in an instant, yet the power of the Invincible Domain immediately surged. The domain boundary, which had been on the verge of collapse, now stabilized and gave off a faint golden glow.
Hu Shu keenly sensed the change in the domain's power, and delight rose in his heart. He knew this was the perfect chance to counterattack. Though heavily wounded and with enormous spiritual power consumption, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay alert. He swung the Long Sword glowing in his hand and shouted, "Brothers of the Human Race, this is an opportunity granted to us by Heaven! Follow me and counterattack!" His voice carried far beneath the light, filled with an inspiring force.
The Human Race had long been holding back their anger at the Witch Tribe's oppression. Encouraged by the mysterious power, their morale soared. They gripped their crude weapons and followed Hu Shu as they charged toward the Witch Tribe army. Shouts of battle immediately echoed across Shouyang Mountain, brimming with fury and defiance.
The Witch Tribe Great Witch's expression turned even uglier at the sight. He had never expected such a change to occur at this critical moment. But as a powerful warrior of the Witch Tribe, how could he retreat so easily? He immediately began chanting, his hands rapidly forming seals as he tried to unleash powerful witchcraft against the Human Race's counterattack. In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky. Bolts of black lightning darted through the clouds amid rolling thunder, as if they would tear the heavens and earth apart.
Hu Shu felt the terrifying power of the Witch Tribe Great Witch's witchcraft, but he showed no fear. While directing the Human Race to use Shouyang Mountain's terrain and find cover from the lightning, he circulated the remaining spiritual power within his body, preparing for the fierce battle to come. At that moment, the mysterious light seemed to sense the Witch Tribe Great Witch's resistance. It grew even brighter and formed a transparent shield above the Human Race, blocking the black lightning one bolt after another. Every strike against the shield sent ripples spreading across it with sizzling sounds, while a pungent burnt smell filled the air.
Using the shield formed by the mysterious power, Hu Shu seized the gap in the Witch Tribe Great Witch's spellcasting. His body flashed like lightning as he charged toward the Witch Tribe Great Witch. The Long Sword in his hand gleamed with sharp light, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it thrust straight for the Witch Tribe Great Witch's throat. The Witch Tribe Great Witch had no choice but to interrupt his witchcraft and hastily raise an arm to block. With a deafening clang, like the tolling of a great bell, Hu Shu's Long Sword collided with the Witch Tribe Great Witch's arm, sending sparks flying. The Witch Tribe Great Witch's arm trembled slightly, and he was secretly startled. He had not expected Hu Shu to possess such powerful attacking strength even while severely wounded.
At the same time, strengthened by the mysterious power, the Human Race engaged the Witch Tribe army in a fierce slaughter. Battle cries and screams intertwined as blood stained the ground of Shouyang Mountain red. Though the Witch Tribe army had superior numbers and formidable strength, they gradually found themselves unable to keep up under the influence of the mysterious power. The Human Race seemed to have been infused with limitless strength, each fighting ten enemies and bravely cutting down their foes.
After a fierce battle, the Witch Tribe army finally could not hold on any longer and began to retreat slowly. Their steps were frantic, and a trace of fear showed in their eyes. Seeing that the situation was lost, the Witch Tribe Great Witch was filled with unwillingness, but he could only helplessly lead the Witch Tribe army away. Watching the Witch Tribe army's retreating backs, the Human Race erupted in cheers. Their cheers held both the joy of surviving a disaster and gratitude toward the mysterious power.
However, Hu Shu did not lose himself in the joy of victory. Frowning, he looked at the mysterious light gradually fading from the sky and sank into thought. Where had this mysterious power come from? Why had it appeared at the Human Race's most desperate moment? Was it related to the mysterious aid the Human Race had received before? These questions continued to circle through his mind.
The Human Race also gathered around him, their eyes filled with confusion and anticipation. "Clan Leader, what exactly is going on? Where did this power come from?" a young Human Race warrior could not help asking. Hu Shu shook his head and slowly said, "I do not know either. But since this power helped us, it presumably bears us no ill will. Our most urgent task is to discover its source as soon as possible, so that we can deal with the Witch Tribe's next attack." The others nodded one after another.
Shouyang Mountain was now filled with a heavy stench of blood. The wounded Human Race warriors supported one another as they cleaned up the battlefield. Dead Witch Tribe soldiers lay scattered everywhere, leaving behind a scene of devastation. Looking at the tragic sight, Hu Shu's heart was filled with worry. The Witch Tribe had retreated for now, but given their nature, they would surely return. How should the Human Race respond next? With their current strength alone, they would likely find it difficult to withstand the Witch Tribe's fiercer attacks.
Hu Shu knew that if the Human Race truly wished to gain a foothold in the Primordial World, they had to find a way to grow stronger. This mysterious power might be the key opportunity. He silently made up his mind that he would uncover the source of this mysterious power and find a path forward for the Future of the Human Race.
Though the mysterious light above Shouyang Mountain had already faded, its mysterious aura still lingered. Beneath that aura, the Human Race felt both concern for the future and a faint glimmer of hope. They knew the road ahead remained fraught with danger, but as long as Hu Shu was there, and as long as they stood united, they would surely overcome every hardship.
