In the year 6,120 of the Xia calendar, after the recovery of spiritual energy, there was a third surge of spiritual energy.
After the third surge of spiritual energy, theoretically, cultivation could reach the Nascent Soul stage, while demonic beasts could reach the fourth rank.
In the Northern Land of Ying, several dark clouds gathered while monsters were crossing a calamity. The human warriors of Ying sent out fighter jets and drones to observe.
Using the drones, disciples from several Wangxian Sects in the southern part of Ying felt hopeless. The monsters were too strong; as soon as they appeared, more than ten monsters were crossing the calamity.
"Senior Brother Zheng, should we take action?"
Several people were eager to try, their spiritual energy increased, and their cultivation was restored to the Nascent Soul stage while the monsters were still at the third stage.
"Under the heavenly calamity, we will surely die without a doubt. Get ready with the technological weapons."
"Senior Brother Zheng, I have checked. We only have one type of weapon available, and we only have two in stock."
"So few?"
"A few years ago, we also learned from Huaxia and played with the targeted elimination plan. We killed many promising monsters, and we have nearly used them up."
"Contact Huaxia, ask for their help. Once a fourth-stage Demon King monster appears, it will surely be able to unify the monster’s power, and our future days will be difficult."
Senior Brother Zheng said that their technology weapons are not very advanced, and the nearest crossing tribulation monster is thousands of miles away. They only have one self-developed weapon that can reach that distance. Now they have to seek help from Huaxia, even if it requires sacrifices.
At the same time, the Huaxia Federation, through satellite reconnaissance, has also discovered the crossing tribulation monsters, not only in Ying Continent but all around the world.
"In the western Shen Continent, Ying Continent, Fang Zhang, Penglai, the Endless Sea, crossing tribulation monsters are appearing all over the world as if it’s all planned. Currently, there are fifty-four spots with crossing tribulation dark clouds."
On the big screen in front of Lin Jiang showed the global situation. If the camera zoomed in, you could even see the appearance of the monsters, who are mostly exotic monsters with divine bloodlines.
"Sir, Jingdu City is calling. Countries are very concerned about the monster situation and are requesting Huaxia to take action."
"What are the opinions of Qingyun and Zhou Liao?"
"They are also in urgent discussions, and they all believe that they need to take action and use tactical nuclear weapons."
"Nuclear weapons are not an option."
Lin Jiang shook his head. The Huaxia laboratory has proven that nuclear radiation harms monster beasts, causing them to mutate. Mutated monster beasts lose their minds and only know how to kill, behaving like demons. With monster beasts already being a major threat, adding demon beasts would only make the world more chaotic.
"Sir, how should we respond?"
"Inform Jingdu City to coordinate with Qingyun and Zhou Liao. Launch an attack within two hours, prioritizing conventional weapons. If conventional weapons are not sufficient, then resort to using weapons with minimal radioactive contamination."
Lin Jiang explained that only the Three Countries Alliance possessed nuclear weapons in this world. However, there are different types of nuclear weapons, some with low levels of radioactive contamination.
"Uncle, I want to join the monster hunt."
Cao Ying spoke up, eager to join the hunt after seeing so many monsters during the disaster.
Fourth-tier monsters are valuable treasures all over their bodies. No one would reject treasures, and at this moment, Cao Ying felt confident that no monster could match her. However, if the ancient sleeping monsters were to awaken in the future, it would be a different story, and they might seek help.
"Alright, just be careful."
Lin Jiang nodded, feeling the power of the demon clan. Over fifty demons had already crossed the tribulation, and who knew how many more would come if they delayed further.
On the human side, progress seemed to be slowing down. In recent years, few had broken through the golden core stage, but progress had slowed significantly afterward.
Lin Jiang clearly felt that the development of the demon clan was unusual. Normally, demons would improve their strength slower than humans. But now, excluding those who were asleep, the demon clan’s strength was increasing much faster than the human clan.
Cao Ying happily prepared to go. She went to the military airport in Haigang City, took a plane to a overseas military base in Huaxia. She didn’t fly there directly, but got a bit lazy.
An hour later, in a deep mountain of Huaxia, the cover of a launch well was lifted, and then a missile rose into the air. Similar scenes appeared in dozens of places in Huaxia.
In the depths of the Endless Sea, three nuclear-powered submarines also launched missiles underwater, while more missiles were launched from missile launchers.
On the big screen in front of Lin Jiang, there were red dots everywhere. Artificial intelligence was monitoring in real-time, checking the missile’s flight path. Along with the missiles from Qingyun and Zhou Liao, the human side launched over three hundred long-distance missiles at once, ensuring each demon crossing the tribulation faced at least six missiles.
Military experts beside Lin Jiang were explaining the types and power of each missile. Huaxia had hundreds of types of missiles, but not all of them could reach that far. For example, from Huaxia to Ying Continent, it was too far to reach, so it was mainly launched from the north by Zhou Liao.
"Countdown to strike: Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven..."
Three minutes later, the big screen showed the countdown to the nearest target from the launch site. The missile flew at a speed of over six Mach, taking just three minutes to arrive, while the farthest target took over half an hour.
When the missiles arrived, the demons crossing the tribulation sensed the danger and frantically fled. But they couldn’t hide from satellite detection, and the control center could also adjust the missile’s trajectory, automatically tracking them.
"Boom, boom"
Missiles kept arriving, creating mushroom clouds at the scene, damaging the surveillance drones, losing several perspectives.
"They’re not dead?"
Lin Jiang had the remaining drones observe the calamity in the sky, discovering that it hadn’t dissipated, leaving Lin Jiang speechless. Could a Tier 3 monster possess such power?
However, Lin Jiang soon realized his worries were unnecessary. The monster indeed survived but was severely injured. Facing the calamity ahead, it was highly unlikely to survive. Its fate was sealed.
"Conventional weapons, still a bit weak."
Lin Jiang sighed. Conventional weapons relied on the shockwave, heat, and fragments from the explosion of gunpowder for their lethality. Even a slight exposure to these components could be deadly for ordinary humans.
However, for monsters and cultivators, these weapons were relatively weak. For instance, the shockwave could be preemptively countered by condensing energy at a certain distance, while fragments would find it challenging to penetrate the energy shield. Perhaps, the high temperature was the most effective means of attack.
When it came to high temperatures, Lin Jiang immediately thought of nuclear weapons. The intense heat from nuclear weapons was terrifying, but he also considered certain fire-based monsters that might not be affected by the heat from nuclear weapons.
After much thought, Lin Jiang believed that the power of technological weapons was too weak. It was necessary for the scientists to continue researching and inventing to create stronger weapons.
The battle continued, and nuclear weapons eventually entered the scene, but in small numbers. Lin Jiang tried to avoid using nuclear weapons as much as possible to prevent creating mutated monsters.
The battle made a lot of noise and was impossible to hide. Instead of concealing it, people were informed. Humans and demons were natural enemies due to competition for survival space. Letting the public know about the war situation created a wartime atmosphere in society, suppressing many social conflicts and transforming the main conflict into a survival struggle between humans and demons.
Meanwhile, in the central street of a small city, Zhou Liao was showing edited battle videos. Despite being thousands of miles away, using advanced missiles to eliminate demons was undoubtedly uplifting. Many people in front of the big screen were cheering.
Among the crowd, a person watched the scene in shock, with a very serious expression on their face.
"The power of mortals has become so powerful."
The man found it very unbelievable that cultivators and demons could attack from a distance, but it would be impossible from such a far distance, tens of thousands of kilometers away.
"It seems like we have slept for too many years, too many things have happened in the world that we don’t know about."
The man finally shook his head, put aside his doubts, and then shifted his gaze to a nearby bookstore.
He walked into the bookstore, casually flipped through the books inside, quietly released his mind, quickly read and absorbed the information. There were many history books in the store, and after half a day, he had a rough understanding of this world.
However, he still felt it wasn’t enough, so he quickly searched in the small town and finally found the person with the highest cultivation level in the small town, a security supervisor responsible for the town’s safety, with cultivation at the Building Foundation Period.
Spiritual energy recovery for decades, the cultivation method had been made public for decades. Under the national system, there were already many Building Foundation Period cultivators. The distance between extraordinary geniuses and ordinary geniuses in the realms of Qi Refining and Building Foundation Period was not that great.
The newcomer easily subdued the security supervisor without interrogation, directly extracting information from his soul. It took him a while to digest the information obtained from the soul extraction.
"It turns out that we have been sleeping for over forty thousand years. Many humans have also been asleep and began waking up gradually thousands of years ago, ruling the world. Even ordinary people can leave this planet and venture into space. It’s truly incredible."
The man sighed. The security supervisor was also a talented student of Zhou Liao, with a wealth of knowledge in his mind, which was now all being taken advantage of by others.
"Our ancestral land of the demon race is now occupied by the human race. It seems that we need to make preparations if we want our ancestors to return safely."
The man thought of his own clan. He was the first one to awaken, standing guard for the ancestors. The ancestral land of the demon race, which used to belong to them, was now the human race’s territory. To ensure the safe awakening of their ancestors, they must make preparations.
Then he set his sights on the security supervisor’s computer, knowing there were many confidential pieces of information inside. Using the password obtained from the soul extraction, along with the supervisor’s fingerprints and iris, he quickly accessed the computer and began browsing.
