Chapter 697: Chapter 25 Human Race’s Predicant_3

Here, there was a wide area from which one could view the conditions outside the city walls.

It was a desolate, blood-colored region, as far as the eye could see, unimaginably vast.

“What you see here is the outer domain battlefield, containing an unknown number of mbers from the Demon Race. The mont Human Cultivators leave Yun Pass and enter the outer domain battlefield, they could encounter attacks from the Demon Race at any ti.

This is the place where the most Human Cultivators are made into powerful beings, but of course, it is also the brutal land where the most Human Cultivators are killed or injured.”

“If you keep moving deeper into the outer domain battlefield, after reaching the very end, you will see a spatial channel about a hundred miles long and ten miles wide.

Through that spatial channel, you will be able to enter the territory of the War Demon Clan in the Abyss,” said the scar-faced cultivator calmly.

“Sadly, we the Human Race do not have the strength to launch a counterattack into the Abyss.

Actually, most of the outer domain battlefield is under the control of the Demon Race.

We the Human Race have only managed with extre difficulty to establish a dozen small forts as bridgeheads on the outer domain battlefield, to prevent the Demon Race from reaching Yun Pass without warning.

After you familiarize yourselves with the general situation, you will be able to go to those small forts and kill demons,” gazing at the desolate land, the scar-faced cultivator’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

“As newcors, the first and most important thing you must rember is that danger is ever-present on the outer domain battlefield. The mont you leave the fort, you must be vigilant and not be careless.

Historically, there have even been Human Cultivators who, just three miles from the gates of Yun Pass, were attacked and killed by Shadow Demons.”

—Hiss—

Upon hearing this, the novice cultivators couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

A distance of three miles, even for ordinary people, isn’t considered a great distance, and for cultivators, it is even less so.

And yet, within three miles of Yun Pass, Shadow Demons dared to lurk?

How audacious is the Demon Race? And how terrifying is this outer domain battlefield?

“Moreover, every several decades, the Demon Race will launch a large-scale battle, attacking all the small forts and Yun Pass we the Human Race have established. Those tis are the most tragic,” the scar-faced cultivator narrated the cruelty of the war, “In each of these large-scale battles, our losses are severe.”

“Because, in terms of strength, the Demon Race is actually much stronger than us!” the scar-faced cultivator said gravely.

At this statent, over half of the thousand new cultivators understood, but so were clearly unaware and revealed shocked expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, the scar-faced cultivator couldn’t help but sigh and slowly said, “Although we are reluctant to admit it, it is indeed true that the Demon Race has always been stronger than us.

The apparent reason our race suffered a complete defeat that year was stated to be because the powers of the nurous sects among us were not united.

However, the fundantal reason was the vast disparity in strength.

Because, the internal division within the Demon Race was much more severe than within the Human Race, yet even so, back then they still had the strength to overwhelm us….”

All the new cultivators fell silent, their breathing becoming rapid.

“That’s why Ancestral Daoist Xia established Great Xia, to unify the strength of our Human Race.

After all, our strength is far inferior to that of the Demon Race; if we do not unite, we might as well surrender and admit defeat right away,” the scar-faced cultivator continued, laying bare the plight of the Human Race to the new cultivators.

“Additionally, speaking of the outer domain battlefield in our Heavenly Mountain, Yun Pass is fine, after all, nearly eighty percent of the major Human Cultivators in the Eastern Domain are gathered here, and we have the Qingyun Sword Immortal from the Sword Sect stationed here.

Thus, the Demon Race has been unable to do anything about us, and the sacrifices at Yun Pass in each battle have not been too great.

However, the situation at the other dozen or so small forts is not so optimistic and can even be described as dire.”

“Fifty percent!” The scar-faced cultivator extended his right hand to the newcors, “That is the casualty rate among the cultivators in the small forts during each large-scale battle!”

“How can it be so high?” A newcor exclaid in disbelief.

“This is the overt strategy of the Demon Race; their strength is clearly far superior to ours, but each ti they attack our Human Race’s small forts, the forces they send are only just slightly stronger than ours.

And in evenly matched battles, the casualties are often the most severe.”

“Ah, why is that?”

The expressions of most of the new cultivators beca much more solemn, clearly understanding the ploy of the Demon Race, though a few still hadn’t grasped the concept.

The scar-faced cultivator didn’t mind and patiently explained, “Because the Demon Race understands that if they deploy forces that are far stronger than ours, we would abandon those small forts…”

“And the Demon Race wants us to desperately defend those small forts, thus continuously depleting our living forces.”

“But isn’t the Demon Race also depleting their own forces?” soone else asked.

“It’s different because we and the Demon Race are completely different,” the scar-faced cultivator said gravely, “The strength of us Human Cultivators cos from those with Spirit Roots who have undergone long periods of cultivation, which needs to slowly accumulate.

But the strength of the Demon Race cos from their bloodline; they can continuously give birth and steadily train Demon Race warriors.

However, when the number of these powerful Demon Race warriors becos too large, the world of the Abyss cannot support this huge consumption of resources and starts tending toward barrenness, decay, and destruction, which is also why they want to invade our Human Race’s Sky Do Heaven.

Attacking our small forts is not only a ans for them to deplete our living forces, but also to eliminate their own warriors, who have already exceeded the load of their world.

For them, such a loss is entirely advantageous without any harm.”

“And if this continues, the growth rate of our Human Cultivators will not keep up with the rate of attrition, leading to us becoming increasingly weaker,” the scar-faced cultivator stated, “This is precisely what the Demon Race is hoping for.”
