The Spirit Source Land's forces, led by Yang Zhenshan and White Cloud True Monarch, arrive to defend True Yang Immortal City. They are met by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect's army, led by An Wusheng. The battle commences with an exchange of powerful attacks between the Golden Core cultivators and their respective armies, including the formidable Molten Rock Divine General and the Demon King Yin Soldiers. Yang Zhenshan discovers that the dense Evil Qi in the area allows the enemy forces to regenerate, making them incredibly difficult to defeat.

"Roar!"

With a furious roar, the Violent Bear Demon King lunged at Yang Zhenshan. Yang Zhenshan did not engage it directly but dodged, while observing the surrounding battle situation.

Soon, he noticed some peculiarities.

It wasn’t exactly wrong, just rather strange.

White Cloud True Monarch led two Demon King Yin Soldiers into the sky, where a fierce battle ensued between the two sides. However, Yang Zhenshan noticed that White Cloud True Monarch was not using his full strength.

Que Lingyu also led two Demon King Yin Soldiers away, seemingly towards the west where there seemed to be battle fluctuations.

Both of them were fighting two enemies each, and the battle seemed intense, but Yang Zhenshan realized that neither of them were exerting their full power.

White Cloud True Monarch didn’t even use his spiritual artifact, and Que Lingyu was even more amusing; with her speed, she shouldn’t need to engage in a bloody fight with the Demon King Yin Soldiers. According to her combat style, she should be strategically maneuvering instead, not causing such fierce battle fluctuations.

"Mr. Yang? What do Senior Brother and Senior Sister mean by this?" Yun Xiao suddenly transmitted his voice.

Yang Zhenshan had a thought, "Working without exerting full force. Keep an eye out, and if necessary, slowly distance yourself from the battlefield!"

In an instant, Yang Zhenshan understood White Cloud True Monarch and Que Lingyu’s intention.

Sky Cloud Sword Sect can fight, but Wanhua Demon Court must also participate.

They were waiting for members of Wanhua Demon Court to show up.

After thinking it through, Yang Zhenshan did not rush to eliminate the Violent Bear Demon King in front of him. Instead, he began entangling with the Violent Bear Demon King.

Fortunately, this Violent Bear Demon King was quite hardy, perfect for practicing spear techniques.

The scope of the battlefield increasingly expanded, the transmitted waves growing more intense.

True Yang Immortal City, the True Yang Array continued to tremble, Shui Ling and Leng Xuan kept bombarding each other across the array, while thousands of cultivators continued attacking thousands of Ghost Soldiers.

Outside the Immortal City, White Cloud True Monarch, Yang Zhenshan, and others were battling eight Demon King Yin Soldiers, explosions and waves of blasts occurring one after another.

However, the only one truly fighting with all his might was the Molten Rock Divine General.

Moments later, reinforcement troops from Sky Cloud Sword Sect arrived, and instantly, thousands of cultivators charged into the army of Ghost Soldiers.

On the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat, Xuanzhen’s eyes gleamed discreetly. The Divine General Chessboard appeared before him, and with a wave of his sleeve, over a dozen Divine Generals clad in golden armor emerged.

"Kill!"

Behind him, over a hundred Golden Body Realm Martial Artists held bows and arrows, pulled their strings, and released arrows, sending them whizzing into the Evil Qi clouds.

Bows and arrows had always been the main weapon of the Yujing Guard, from the initial spiritual weapon level bows and arrows to today’s divine weapon level.

So-called divine weapons are those used by Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, previously referred to as Martial Gods in the Sea of Spirit, thus the weapons suitable for Golden Body Realm Martial Artists are called divine weapons.

But now in the Spirit Origin Land, divine weapons are referred to as second-order spiritual weapons, above which are third-order spiritual weapons for martial artists.

Spiritual weapons and magic artifacts, magical treasures, are entirely different concepts, as Golden Body Realm Martial Artists have almost no mana, making them unable to wield magic artifacts and magical treasures; hence, spiritual weapons primarily enhance the output of True Yuan, unable to utilize spells.

However, third-order spiritual weapons are somewhat similar to magical treasures because Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists have begun converting True Yuan into mana, thus third-order spiritual weapons possess some of the powers of magical treasures.

Like True Yuan transforming into rainbows, which is actually akin to a spell-like ability.

Second-order spiritual weapons have limited lethality against Ghost Soldiers; accurately speaking, Golden Body Realm Martial Artists appear somewhat powerless against the elite Ghost Soldiers of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

Arrows flew out but could only inflict mild wounds on those Ghost Soldiers, and with the replenishment of Evil Qi, these Ghost Soldiers quickly recovered.

This seemingly ineffective depiction does not reflect reality.

The newly formed Yujing Guard, though primarily composed of Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, mainly relies on the attack array on flying boats for its offense.

Golden Body Realm Martial Artists only engage in harassment and enemy blocking; the real attacks come from the flying boats.

Upon the third wave of arrows being fired, the Vermilion Bird at the bow of the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat suddenly spat fiery red flames, which ascended and transformed into a fiery rain, engulfing the Evil Qi clouds.

Instantly, dozens of Ghost Soldiers were enveloped in flames, burning fiercely.

The Ghost Soldiers seemed to recognize the power of the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat, launching desperate attacks on the four Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats.

Four Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats and twenty-four Flame Sun Golden Boats formed a Round Formation, releasing burning flames of red and gold, blocking the rolling Evil Qi clouds a hundred yards away. Thousands of arrow rains flew, turning the Ghost Soldiers into pincushions.

Additionally, with multiple cultivators blocking, no matter how the surrounding Ghost Soldiers attacked, they could not approach within a hundred yards of the flying boats.

For a moment, the flying boat fleet in the Spirit Origin Land seemed to have formed a Great Array, firmly fixed in mid-air, slaughtering the charging Ghost Soldiers indiscriminately.

This is the correct combat method for a flying boat fleet.

Establish a massive attack array using Vermilion Bird Flying Boat as the Array Plate and Flame Sun Golden Boat as the Array Flags, along with thousands of Golden Body Realm Martial Artists defending the array.

This combat method, though incapable of dominating the army of Ghost Soldiers, can significantly delay a large number of Ghost Soldiers.

With Sky Cloud Sword Sect’s reinforcements arriving, the battlefield surrounding True Yang Immortal City has grown increasingly fierce.

The flying boat fleet firmly stationed in the west of True Yang Immortal City eases pressure on the city significantly.

Thousands of cultivators rushed into the battlefield, engaging fiercely with the army of Ghost Soldiers.
