Huh?
We had the advantage?
Wang Jixuan hovered outside the atmosphere, frowning as he gazed at the sprawling battlefield ahead.
Even his spiritual sense could not cover one-sixth of the battlefield.
In other words, these cultivators could not observe the entire battlefield with their spiritual sense either. They could only rely on their eyes to assess the situation.
They had been divided and surrounded.
More than forty Earth Civilization first-generation expeditionary warships of varying sizes, functions, and somewhat "old-fashioned" designs had been heavily modified. Wrapped in thick Psionic Energy Shields, they continuously deployed swarms of drones and mechs.
The sight of these warships immediately reminded Wang Jixuan of an old enemy.
Pillar-Class Blade Beasts!
The combat style of the First Expeditionary Fleet was practically a one-to-one replica of the Pillar-Class Blade Beasts!
—Later warship construction had returned to a technology-centered path.
These warships posed an enormous threat to both Spiritual Practitioners and cultivators.
First, there were the thick outer Psionic Energy Shields. With allied Spiritual Practitioners and High-Tier Psionicists providing cover, cultivators who relied on individual strength could not conduct the boarding actions they excelled at most.
Second, many of the mechs they deployed carried formations and their own psionic energy reserves. Every so often, they could trap cultivators inside Illusion Arrays and confinement formations.

However, humanity also lacked weapons capable of inflicting effective damage on these cultivators.
Even if humanity accepted losses of eight hundred to inflict a thousand and used nuclear bombs to light up miniature suns in space—the electromagnetic shockwaves from nuclear weapons would cause irreversible damage to electronic equipment—
