Chapter 2439: with translation of chapter title

It was just as Ye Liuyun was frantically honing himself on the Death Journey that the Foreign Tribe's massive Warship also arrived at Satellite Island.

This time the Foreign Tribe had originally planned to head straight for the Holy Land, to occupy its native territory.

But after the Holy Land Dynasty obtained the design for the Flying Swallow, it mobilized all its artificers and, in a short time, produced several thousand Flying Swallows.

Although the Flying Swallow's materials were somewhat inferior, its attack power was not lacking, so the Foreign Tribe's massive Warship, fearing it could not withstand such a massive onslaught, settled for stopping at Satellite Island.

Once the battle began, both sides launched full‑scale army‑to‑army attacks.

The Holy Land Dynasty did not know how many Foreign Tribe soldiers were aboard the massive Warship, so it threw its local million‑strong garrison of Martial Cultivators onto the field, charging the Foreign Tribe's army under the cover of countless Flying Swallows.

The Foreign Tribe initially dispatched only a 500,000‑strong army, but after the battle began it released another million, catching the Holy Land Dynasty off guard.

The Holy Land Dynasty suffered early losses, but reinforcements from the surrounding areas arrived immediately.

But by now a large number of soldiers and Martial Cultivators had been corrupted by the Foreign Tribe into Corpse Demons, so the Holy Land Dynasty's defensive pressure was immense.

During the fight, the Foreign Tribe also sent many strong fighters, destroying and capturing numerous Flying Swallows.

In the early stage of the battle, the Flying Swallows inflicted heavy casualties on the Foreign Tribe; at least 300,000 of them were killed by Flying Swallows.

But soon the Foreign Tribe's replica Flying Swallows joined the fight, and because the Foreign Tribe scavenged resources from everywhere, their Flying Swallows' material was superior to that of the Holy Land Dynasty, giving them stronger defensive capability.

The Holy Land Dynasty was astonished by this.

This rapid replication by the Foreign Tribe indicates a great improvement in their artificing skill.

Fortunately, the Holy Land Dynasty had so many Flying Swallows that they could handle three enemies at once without issue, so the combat power of both sides gradually evened out.

This surprised the Holy Land Dynasty, as they had not expected to end up merely even with the Foreign Tribe.

Thus the Holy Land Dynasty reinforced again, launched an even larger offensive, and ultimately drove the Foreign Tribe's army, which had emerged to establish a base, back to their massive Warship.

After several major battles, the Holy Land Dynasty's army had suffered losses far exceeding two million.

Adding the Martial Cultivators killed in action, the Holy Land Dynasty's total losses reached three million.

The Foreign Tribe also took a heavy hit; the over 1.5‑million‑strong army that had previously appeared was almost completely exhausted.

In the end, the Foreign Tribe's massive Warship could only retreat helplessly; before leaving it left behind a large number of damaged Flying Swallows, which were eventually all shot down by the Holy Land Dynasty's elite and their Flying Swallows.

As a result, the Holy Land Dynasty also obtained many high‑grade materials for forging Flying Swallows.

The Holy Land Dynasty also dispatched Flying Swallows to pursue.

But the energy source used by that massive Warship was evidently more than sufficient.

The Holy Land Dynasty not only failed to breach the massive Warship's protective light shield, but also wasted many Flying Swallows, and finally had to give up.

This great battle, though ending in the Holy Land Dynasty's victory, was won at a terrible cost; in both manpower and equipment, the Holy Land Dynasty paid double the price.

It also made them realize the cruelty of war.

Especially the Corpse Demons cultivated by the Foreign Tribe, which were not only fast but also strong in attack.

Holy Land Dynasty's soldiers and Martial Cultivators could be bitten by the Foreign Tribe with a single slip.

This is also why the Holy Land Dynasty's army suffered such heavy losses.

Moreover, the Foreign Tribe's current army included many dual‑nature (Heaven‑Human) strongmen, whose overall strength was almost on par with the Holy Land Dynasty.

Thanks to Ye Liuyun having seized the Outpost Island and Lookout Island in advance, otherwise the combat power of those two Xiao dao would certainly have been unable to stop the Foreign Tribe's army's advance.

The Foreign Tribe's army this time was also frustrated; they had originally planned to wipe out all the Human Martial Cultivators in one stroke, but did not expect the Holy Land Dynasty to be so strong.

But now the Holy Land Dynasty's strength has already been reported back to the Foreign Tribe's stronghold.

The next time the Foreign Tribe's army comes, they will be better prepared.

After the Foreign Tribe was repelled, the Holy Land Dynasty realized that future attacks would be even more brutal, and immediately began a full mobilization.

They even began designing armor to prevent the Foreign Tribe's bites, wrapping the neck, arms and other parts so the Foreign Tribe would have nowhere to bite.

At this time, Ye Liuyun also received a message from Mo Tianheng and others, prompting Tong Xin and Qiong Qi to task the artificers with improvements, creating full‑body covering armor.

Especially letting them reference the Wujia obtained from Xiao Mulin.

Even if it cannot boost combat power, at least it can provide complete defense.

As long as the Foreign Tribe cannot bite people, the number of Corpse Demons will be greatly reduced.

Thus the Holy Land Dynasty began preparing for future wars, and Ye Liuyun's side was doing the same.

However, Tong Xin, Qiong Qi and others were more focused on that massive Warship of the Foreign Tribe.

According to their speculation, the energy source used by that massive Warship should be the Primordial Power of an entire world, allowing it to sustain the siege of countless Flying Swallows.

It is even possible that within that massive vessel there is a Foreign Tribe teleportation Altar that can supply them with resources; otherwise where would they get so many replica Flying Swallows.

Ye Liuyun and the many Leaders also discussed how to completely resolve the Foreign Tribe issue.

Everyone agreed that the best way to fully solve the Foreign Tribe problem is to strike at their homeland and subdue them completely.

But the problem is that no one knows where the Foreign Tribe's homeland is.

They seem to be everywhere in Xingkong, occupying too many worlds.

Moreover, even if their location were known, it could not be reached easily, because there is no accurate information on just how powerful the Foreign Tribe's strongmen truly are.

'Wait until I get out to deal with it! You first re‑equip the army and raise the soldiers' strength.

Use all the resources so the soldiers can boost their strength another tier!'

Ye Liuyun, seeing that the group's discussion yielded little, simply told them to improve equipment and training, leaving the rest until they find the relevant information.

In fact, the Holy Land Dynasty had captured Foreign Tribe strongmen and Leaders before, but the related information had already been erased from their Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun, however, felt that it didn't matter even if no one knew.

The Foreign Tribe's Altar is actually easy to find.

It's just that they currently lack the strength to follow the Altar to the Foreign Tribe's location.

In the end, the deciding factor is still strength.

Thus Ye Liuyun, on the Death Journey, also began to focus on fighting and strengthening, with his clones taking turns to battle and cultivate.

His strength, under such high‑intensity and pressure, also rose rapidly.

The Celestial Being First Tier realm also became more and more solid, and the quality and quantity of Mysterious Origin also kept increasing.

Ye Liuyun again fought with strong opponents like Liao Yunyang and Liu Tianyi, and without using Divine Soul Power, he could also fight them to a draw.

This rapid progress made even Ye Liuyun himself very surprised.

He also felt very grateful in his heart to Black Kill's Wu Hen.

If Wu Hen hadn't told him the secret of Divine Crystal Shichong, after he reached the Celestial Being First Tier realm, his strength increase definitely wouldn't be as fast as now.
