Chapter 803: Buddhist Cultivation and Warships

In the year 7650 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Cape III Planet region

In the starry sky, a golden light burst forth, forming a mysterious rune. The rune opened like a Stargate, and Bodhisattva Puxiang and several arhats stepped out from the rune.

Their movement was quite significant; the golden light transmitted to a faraway place, and soon a detector captured these signals, leading to a detector rushing over quickly.

"What is that?"

An arhat sensed the detector from a great distance and cast a spell towards it, creating a giant handprint that grabbed the detector.

"Bodhisattva, this is a treasure of a cultivator. It’s very low-level, only at the spirit artifact level, but I don’t know why it can wander in the Star Domain."

The arhat examined the detector; its design was filled with a sci-fi feel. He didn’t recognize it, but he could tell that it should be a spirit artifact. He just didn’t understand why such a simple spirit artifact could roam in the Star Domain, which was beyond his knowledge.

"Arhat Huangyuan’s fall is very strange, we should be extra careful."

Bodhisattva Puxiang said, he also knew that the power of Buddhist cultivation is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. The fall of Arhat Huangyuan was strange, and no useful information has returned, so there must be a powerful master here.

Just as Puxiang finished speaking, a laser suddenly shot from a distance. It was fired by a reconnaissance spaceship. By the time Puxiang and the others arrived and acted, the information had already been sent back to Cape III Planet. The command center not only gathered the ships in the starry sky but also ordered the nearest reconnaissance spaceship to take action.

Facing the incoming laser, Bodhisattva Puxiang remained calm. He raised his hand and sent out a palm strike, and the laser just vanished.

However, the laser attack from the reconnaissance spaceship was ongoing. Though the first laser was extinguished, more laser beams continued to come. An arhat struck back, destroying the reconnaissance spaceship. The explosion startled them because the spaceship was nuclear-powered, and the blast was terrifying.

"Bodhisattva, what is that? The explosion shone like the sun!"

"We might have been discovered. Let’s hide first and see what kind of world this is."

Bodhisattva Puxiang said, even though he had not encountered any beings from this Star Domain world, he already sensed something was wrong, so he immediately led his people to disappear and hide.

Meanwhile, Cape III Planet also saw their figures vanish. All kinds of instruments were used, but they still could not find any trace of them; nothing like infrared was effective at all.

"Ancestor Lin, I am Shiyi."

"What is happening now?"

"The bald men are gone. This time, twelve people came and destroyed one probe and one scout ship. Cape III Planet is under complete lockdown."

"Good, have the First Fleet stay alert; the Second Fleet is already near you. Once you find the enemy, do not hesitate or waste time. The goal is to eliminate them."

Lin Jiang said that as soon as the Buddhist cultivator appeared, the Cape III base noticed it, and he received the news.

"Yes, Ancestor Lin, I want the experts from the demon race to investigate. Many of our instruments are not as useful as the experts. I am afraid the enemy may sneak into Cape III Planet."

"Okay, you make the arrangements, just don’t underestimate them."

"I understand, Ancestor Lin."

Shiyi said that the cannon fodder must definitely be the demon race, but how to make them willingly be the cannon fodder without making them resentful is a skill.

Soon, the Shenwu Demon Emperor appeared in front of Shiyi. In fact, the Shenwu Demon Emperor was now at level eight and should not be called a Demon Emperor anymore; he was at the Imperial level.

"Human race, what is happening? Why is there only the sound of alarms?"

"Shenwu Demon Emperor, your opportunity has come. Look, those Buddhist cultivators have appeared again."

Shiyi casually released a video, showing the recent battle scenes. When the Shenwu Demon Emperor saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The Shenwu Demon Emperor still trusted the Demon Queen very much. He learned that the Demon Queen had made peace with the human race for hundreds of years and said nothing about it. He was also very shocked by the technological power of the human race and felt that an agreement between the demon race and the human race was a very correct thing. Similarly, he was very enthusiastic about the demon race occupying a planet, believing that this was the true path for the demon race.

"What about those bald people?"

"They have disappeared. They must have hidden away. Shenwu Demon Emperor, according to the energy scan from the Space Mother Ship, these bald ones likely have the power of Tao Achieving or even Transmigration Stage. Our human race’s power is not as strong as your demon race’s…"

"You are not planning to use us as cannon fodder, are you?"

The Shenwu Demon Emperor interrupted Shiyi before he could finish speaking, as it sounded like a trap.

"Shenwu Demon Emperor, what do you mean? We are allies. Before we even meet our enemies, you want to treat us as cannon fodder. If our Ancestor Lin finds out, he will tear us apart. I am serious about discussing this with you."

"The demon race wants to take over a planet, but they haven’t made any contributions. Why should we give it to you? Even if Ancestor Lin agrees and I agree, what about the other dozens of Tao Achievers? Shenwu Demon Emperor, you should know that nothing comes for free in this world."

"Stop talking, I understand. I will take the demons to the sky. What nonsense Buddhist cultivator! I will swallow him whole, and once I refine his soul, I will raid his lair."

Shenwu Demon Emperor’s face darkened as he said to Shiyi. He understood these principles—that nothing comes for free. The most important point in the peace talks between the Demon Queen and the human race is that the demon race must be given a planet, and that planet will not be given without a price.

Moments later, Shenwu Demon Emperor arrived in the starry sky. At that moment, outside Cape III Planet, there were over a hundred warships of various types scattered everywhere, actively searching, yet still nothing appeared.

After Shenwu Demon Emperor arrived, his vast consciousness spread out in all directions. The consciousness of the Transmigration Stage can reach very far. Although it still wasn’t as good as the detection range of spacecraft, in terms of quality, it was much stronger. Some special techniques and secret arts could hide from technological weapons but could not hide from consciousness.

Soon, Shenwu Demon Emperor’s eyes brightened as if he had found the traces of those Buddhist cultivators. He kept pursuing them and unknowingly traveled far from Cape III Planet.

"Amitabha, benefactor, I see that you have a connection with our Buddha. Would you like to take refuge in our Buddha?"

Suddenly, a voice exploded in Shenwu Demon Emperor’s mind, startling him. When he turned around, a bald man appeared before him.

The Shenwu Demon Emperor looked around and noticed some shimmering lights. He realized that this space might have been tampered with by the bald man, as those flying machines could not detect anything.

"Amitabha, dear friend, the world is like a sea of suffering, and living beings dwell within it unaware of their pain. They have but a small faith in my Buddha…"

"Chattering"

Bodhisattva Puxiang was still trying to persuade, but the Shenwu Demon Emperor was already displeased. He acted directly, sending a turtle shell flying toward Bodhisattva Puxiang, carrying a terrifying pressure.

"Boom"

Bodhisattva Puxiang took out a Zen staff and pointed it forward. Golden light transformed into runes, forming a cage to trap the turtle shell. The Shenwu Demon Emperor was astonished to find that his connection to the turtle shell had weakened.

"Puff"

The Shenwu Demon Emperor opened his mouth and released a dark breath, filled with an extremely cold atmosphere. Wherever it went, it seemed as if even the space was about to freeze.

"Bang"

Bodhisattva Puxiang waved his Zen staff once more, shattering the dark breath. His eyes lit up; the creature before him was clearly a monster, much stronger than any he had seen before.

"Yes, such monsters should be the protectors of our Buddha’s teachings."

Bodhisattva Puxiang planned in his heart that this monster could not be killed; instead, it should become their protector, a leader in spreading the Buddha’s teachings.

The Shenwu Demon Emperor withdrew his shell and unleashed all his powers. He had several magical treasures, either created from his own scales or forged from the riches of the Demon God Temple, and they were powerful. He launched a fierce attack on Bodhisattva Puxiang.

Faced with the furious Shenwu Demon Emperor, Bodhisattva Puxiang did not dare to be careless and put in all his effort to defend himself. The monks of the Buddha’s teachings had strong physical defenses, just as the Shenwu Demon Emperor did; his shell was likely the strongest defensive treasure in the Blue Star, having withstood direct blows from the Space Mother Ship without damage.

They were locked in battle, while the outside world remained unaware. Shiyi could no longer see the Shenwu Demon Emperor on the screen because this area of emptiness had been sealed off by other arhats working together.

As the fight continued, the Shenwu Demon Emperor sensed something was wrong. After fighting for so long, where were his reinforcements? Even though other Demon Emperors were far away, what about the Space Battleships?

Realizing the situation was grim, the Shenwu Demon Emperor thought of retreating. However, Bodhisattva Puxiang was unwilling to let him escape. He changed from defense to offense, blocking the Shenwu Demon Emperor and launching a fierce attack.

Although the Puxiang monk was powerful, the Shenwu Demon Emperor was not afraid. With the strength of his shell, he blocked all of Bodhisattva Puxiang’s attacks.

"Collapse"

The Shenwu Demon Emperor saw the right moment and threw a turtle shell at an Arhat. When the shell collided, the Arhat was sent flying, the formation was damaged, and a gap appeared in the sealed space.

"Found it, in the northeast direction."

"Distance…"

At this moment, dozens of warships detected their presence, and many Demon Emperors quickly flew over, while the Space Battleships were even faster, with various attacks reaching first.

"Humanism Bestowing Sutra"

Bodhisattva Puxiang’s expression changed greatly as many Space Battleships focused their fire on him. He felt the danger and dared not be careless. He took out a relic and threw it at the Shenwu Demon Emperor before quickly fleeing.

The Shenwu Demon Emperor planned to use his strong body to block the attack, but unexpectedly, when the relic reached him, it directly sank into his body, causing his expression to change drastically.
