Alien Science Cultivation

In the Eastern Region, as the human race's meticulously constructed defensive offensive was initially completed, the spaceships of the Ghost and Demon races, like a surging dark cloud, appeared in droves near the four holy sites and eight sects. The Eternal Holy Land became the primary target of the combined forces of the Ghost and Demon races. The combined forces they faced were not only numerous but also possessed the highest levels of cultivation. The Ghost and Demon races had learned through certain channels that the most powerful quasi-saint of humanity was stationed at the Eternal Holy Land, also the seat of humanity's supreme leader. They believed that if they could successfully defeat the Eternal Holy Land, the other holy sites and sects would be unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the Ghost and Demon forces.

The human race naturally understood this deeply. If one of the Eternal Holy Lands were breached, or if Patriarch Yaochen was annihilated, the human race would undoubtedly lose the battle. Therefore, Wang Yan, the Master of the Yaoguang Holy Land, resolutely led numerous Yaoguang Holy Land masters to rush to the Eternal Holy Land for support. He also dispatched other Yaoguang Holy Land disciples to support other sects and holy lands, leaving the Yaochi Holy Land completely deserted. Similar proactive measures were also adopted by the twelve sects. This arrangement aimed to concentrate their forces against a single enemy force. When the ghosts hurriedly rushed to the temporarily deserted holy lands and sects, by the time they realized they wanted to support the rest of the ghost-demon coalition, it was too late. Meanwhile, reinforcements from other smaller sects were also arriving one after another to support the Eternal Holy Land and the nearby sects participating in the trial.

However, the Qingshan Sect was in an extremely difficult situation. Located at the westernmost edge of the Eastern Region, it was too far away for other sects and holy sites to provide timely support. Furthermore, the Qingshan Sect was directly at the forefront of the demonic coalition's march. Elder Yao Chen's immediate reaction was that the Qingshan Sect was in grave danger. Consequently, he specifically instructed Zhang Qiang and the other two not to return to the sect, intending to leave Fei He behind while they escaped. However, he underestimated their courage and bravery.

As the combined forces of demons and ghosts neared the Eternal Holy Land, the entire sky seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence. "General... The Eternal Holy Land lies just ahead... Please direct..." A demon soldier, kneeling respectfully outside the cabin of a spaceship, announced in a clear voice. "Yes... Attack with all your might. We must secure the first victory and not give the other generals a chance..." With this commanding voice, a middle-aged demon, emanating a thick aura of death, slowly emerged from the cabin. Judging from his aura, this demon's strength surpassed even that of Ancestor Yao Chen. "Yes..." The demon soldier took the order and departed.

"Haha... If you ghosts don't die, how can we demons rule the underworld? Using you as cannon fodder makes perfect sense, right?" the middle-aged demon pondered, a strange smile playing on his lips. As a quasi-saint, he was naturally perceptive of the countless energy cannons hidden within the mountains. Allowing the ghosts to attack with all their might would undoubtedly serve as cannon fodder, paving the way for the demons. Finally, he would slay the leader of the human coalition forces. This way, he could kill two birds with one stone.

"General's orders... all-out attack... we must take first place..." The ghost soldiers quickly returned to the foremost ship and relayed the demon general's orders. "Damn it... using us ghosts as cannon fodder again... I can already see there's an ambush... why doesn't he even test the enemy's position...? He's hiding at the back, taking advantage of a ready opportunity..." a ghost captain in black armor muttered angrily. "Gao Fei... return to your ship... stop talking nonsense..." a middle-aged, pot-bellied monk, also in black armor, warned softly. Then, with a sigh, he shouted the order: "Full speed ahead... all-out attack, all gunners, stand ready, attack horns..." "Hmph..." Gao Fei sighed helplessly and vanished. It was clear that this demon general had used the ghosts as cannon fodder more than once. Though the ghost soldiers were filled with resentment, their low cultivation level meant they were powerless to change the situation, so they could only silently endure the deaths of their own people. This also clearly demonstrated that the ghost-demon coalition was far less united than the human-beast coalition.

As the Ghost Clan's attack horn sounded, hundreds of Ghost Clan ships shot towards the Eternal Holy Land like arrows... while several Demon Clan ships quietly waited in front of the largest ship. "Haha, it makes sense to have several ships to protect the generals... Haha." The Demon Clan general chuckled softly from the rear of the large ships, watching the Ghost Clan ships speeding forward. Several of his fellow Demon Clan officers also laughed in glee.

"Report... Ghost ships have entered the canyon, but Demon ships haven't... According to spies, this combined Ghost and Demon army appears disunited, and the enemy commander is a Demon cultivator..." A human soldier reported from within the main hall of the Eternal Holy Land, though he wasn't entirely sure of the spy's information. Inside the hall, Elder Yao Chen, Wang Yan, and several Divine King cultivators exchanged a few glances, all revealing strange smiles.

"Old Yao is truly as prophetic as ever... It seems we still have a good chance..." Wang Yan said with a smile and a bow. "Haha... It's not that I'm so prophetic, it's that the Qingshan Exchange is far more powerful than we imagined..." Elder Yao Chen chuckled and began to explain mysteriously. "The Qingshan Exchange gathers a vast amount of information from around the world, especially on war. Their knowledge of the Demonic Alliance far exceeds what we know. The communication function of this trading card is truly powerful..." Elder Yao Chen took out his Qingshan Exchange trading card and sighed softly. He had previously been very resistant to this type of transaction, but it wasn't until Wu Yong personally delivered the trading card to him that he reluctantly accepted and bound his information. After receiving the trading card, he discovered that it not only allowed the trading of items, but also a wide range of information. As long as there was money, any information could be clearly accessed. They even opened a live war information feed for human soldiers. Of course, this live feed wasn't accessible to everyone. Based on the information bound to the token, the Qingshan Exchange headquarters would grant appropriate permissions. Figures like Elder Yao Chen naturally possessed the highest authority. The news of the destruction of the human teleportation array did not escape the eyes and ears of the Qingshan Exchange's spies. After preliminary analysis and processing of the information, the Qingshan Exchange immediately sent detailed information to Patriarch Yao Chen. Drawing on past battles, they also compiled a detailed analysis of the combat capabilities of the Ghost-Demon Coalition's generals, including some character analysis and the grudges between the two races. They even developed a basic prediction of the upcoming battle scenario. The formation of the Ghost-Demon Coalition was undoubtedly also deduced by the Qingshan Exchange. This demon general, in the middle stage of the Quasi-Sage stage, had used the Ghost Clan as cannon fodder more than once.

"Then let's let the ghosts in... and focus on the demons... Even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't withstand our fire... unless they have a Sage-level expert in charge..." Wang Yan excitedly took over Elder Yao Chen's words. Only Sage-level experts can ignore the attacks of energy cannons, but Sage-level experts are not allowed to participate in war. This is the consensus of the Six Paths. After all, the combat power of the Sage-level is devastating. Once a Sage participates in a war, there is no victory to speak of; both sides will undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat. Sages are like nuclear bombs on Earth. Once a nuclear war begins, all other forms of warfare are basically meaningless.
