Chapter 826
by post_apiChapter 826: Annihilate the Buddhists
Blue Star
Lin Jiang started a guerrilla battle, mainly to disturb Bodhisattva Kongyan, preventing this top Buddhist cultivator from doing great harm to others.
Next, he aimed quick strikes at other Buddhist cultivators; while he couldn’t kill with one blow, he could create opportunities for others.
However, the most remarkable strength among Blue Star was not Lin Jiang or the Demon Queen, but the Stone Monster clan. There were very few Stone Monsters, only twelve transformed members, and aside from the Stone Emperor, the others were not at the Demon Emperor level.
But they fought very fiercely, especially the Stone Emperor, who transformed into a true form hundreds of meters tall, actually going head-to-head with the Buddhist cultivators in physical strength. They exchanged punches clumsily, just trading one blow after another, purely taking hits.
Yet, despite this, the Stone Emperor won. Buddhist cultivation focuses on training the physical body, claiming to achieve Buddhahood through the physical form, which is extremely durable. However, compared to the Stone Emperor, it still falls short by a great deal. An arhat of the same realm was brutally defeated.
"Wretched beast!"
One arhat, seeing this, shouted angrily at the Stone Emperor and cast a spell at him. However, the Stone Emperor was not worried at all; he already knew that the cultivator’s magical attacks were weak against him, as his natural ability was to be immune to some spells.
"Senior brother, this is a spirit turned into a monster. Our Buddhist magic does not work on him; we must break his physical form."
The Buddhist cultivator saw the way and spoke to the other arhats.
Several arhats faced off against the Stone Emperor. Some held Zen staffs, some held Zen swords, and others held equal-length poles. Amidst the chaos, the Stone Emperor was hit countless times. He grinned and raised his fist to strike hard.
Lin Jiang glanced at the battlefield; there were fewer living people left. The Buddhist cultivators, originally numbering six or seven million, were now estimated to be less than a million. The Blue Star side had fewer fighters, but had more flying vehicles and space battleships, with at least over a million casualties. Most of the Golden Core Stage cultivators, who were supposed to be the reserve team, had also suffered great losses.
"Xia Qingshan, have you suppressed the true Buddha’s aura?"
"Not quite yet."
"You useless fool, you are nothing but a waste!"
Lin Jiang shouted angrily. At this point in the battle, the combined losses of those Tao Achieving cultivators numbered over ten, and if other battlegrounds were included, the number was close to a hundred. Not being able to suppress the opponent’s aura was simply unacceptable.
"You know nothing! The opponent is at least several hundred thousand years older than us, and I have only absorbed so little spiritual auras."
Xia Qingshan was also furious. How could this be his fault? He had absorbed so little spiritual auras, while the opponent was at least a monster-level being from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Who knows how much they had absorbed over such a long time? If the real body appeared here, he would have to run away.
"Break it!"
Lin Ying shook off an opponent and moved closer to a large Buddha statue. Suddenly, Lin Ying attacked the Buddha with her sword.
"Thud."
Suddenly, the Buddha statue, which was made of clay and stone, opened its eyes. Golden light shone from its eyes, hitting Lin Ying’s sword and then striking Lin Ying herself. The protective shield shattered instantly, her magical robe was torn apart, and a hole was opened in Lin Ying’s body. She coughed up blood and was thrown back.
"Little Ying."
Lin Jiang saw this scene and became extremely angry.
"Meow…"
With a cry, Big Shadiao appeared, caught Lin Ying, and flew her away. Along the way, an arhat blocked their path.
"Get lost!"
Lin Jiang suddenly appeared behind that arhat and struck him away with a spear.
"Big Shadiao, take Lin Ying to Haigang City, to my villa. The formation there is set separately, hurry!"
Lin Jiang took out a life-saving pill and put it in Lin Ying’s mouth, then said to Big Shadiao. After that, he rushed directly toward the pursuing Bodhisattva Kongyan, who caught him right away, and he had to fight back.
"Xia Qingshan, how do we break that statue?"
"If the Buddhist cultivators are all dead, it means they lost."
"······"
Lin Jiang choked on his words. Wasn’t this just nonsense?
"Quick, get out of the way!"
Someone shouted from high in the sky. Lin Jiang looked up to see a space station, the size of dozens of kilometers, falling with flames. People were striking the space station continuously, trying to change its falling location and make it drop into the Infinite Sea.
At this moment, the battle was no longer limited to the sky, as many cultivators and Buddhist cultivators had low levels of skill and could not sustain long aerial fights. Many of them had fallen to the ground to battle.
This spread the battle across the entire Blue Star. In big cities like Huaxia, the defenses were strong enough, but in some smaller, less developed countries, except for places like Jingdu City, there were hardly any good defenses at all. Countless ordinary people died at that moment.
"Boom"
In a certain part of the Endless Sea, Liang Long burst out of the water. He was glowing all over, and his face was filled with pain. He felt like he was going to explode; he thought he might drown.
As soon as Liang Long made a move, he stood out, so he quickly caught the attention of the Buddhist cultivators. At one point, twelve opponents of the same level were chasing him.
He fought from the sky to the ground, from the ground to the mountains, and from the mountains to the sea floor. If he were an ordinary person, he didn’t know how many times he would have died, but his terrifying recovery ability not only kept him alive but also caused all his enemies to be exhausted.
All twelve opponents were defeated, and he drained all their spirit energy, feeling like he was about to explode.
"Breakthrough"
Liang Long was running out of options. If he didn’t achieve a breakthrough soon, he truly felt he would burst. While flying, he forced himself to absorb energy, and his aura was rising continuously, hinting at a breakthrough to Tao Achieving. This was a one-of-a-kind situation among the billions of people on Blue Star.
Upon seeing this, an arhat struck down with a palm, nearly turning Liang Long into a mass of flesh. Liang Long crashed to the ground, creating a deep pit, but his flesh was writhing rapidly.
"Well done!"
Liang Long felt joy inside; although he was hurt, he could recover quickly, which was just the right way to use up some excess energy.
········
Lin Jiang was still fighting fiercely with Kong Yan; guerrilla tactics could only be a nuisance, true men faced challenges head-on.
Lin Jiang was not as strong as Bodhisattva Kongyan and was repeatedly injured, but he chose to fight to the end, treating healing pills like food.
"Boom!"
In the midst of battle, Bodhisattva Kongyan suddenly saw a beam of light coming towards him. The golden Buddhist light flickered and extinguished the beam, then he looked up at outer space, his expression turning grim.
The outer space battlefield of the Blue Star was nearing its end, with dozens of arhat bodhisattvas suffering heavy casualties, while three Space Battleships lost over forty percent of their ships, leaving both sides nearly destroyed.
But the real result was that Blue Star’s Space Fleet won, because Arhat Bodhisattva was also exhausted, while the Space Battleship still had the strength to fight.
More energy was sent to the Space Battleship, many engineering robots were urgently repairing it, some Space Battleships were damaged and on fire, yet they continued to fire their weapons, balancing repair and battle.
Especially the Space Mother Ship, which was quite different; it had a complete repair line inside, and even some special areas that could produce many items.
Inside the Space Mother Ship today, countless repair robots and engineers were urgently fixing robots and Space Battleships, greatly enhancing the Space Fleet’s ability to continue fighting.
"Alright, Kong Yan, you have lost."
"Amitabha, benefactor, if you return to our Buddha’s door, you can become a great Bodhisattva."
"What other secret cards do you have? Show them now, no more talking. Otherwise, you will surely die this time."
Lin Jiang sneered, this was Blue Star’s stronghold, their home ground. They had survived the toughest phase, and now the Buddhist cultivators could no longer win.
Some main industrial cities of Blue Star were continuously producing weapons, from ancient missiles to the most advanced warships, always ready to release new ones. In the other battlefields, Buddhist cultivation did not hold a real advantage, especially on Cape I Planet, where Cao Ying and the others had an absolute advantage; what could they fight with?
"Summer insects cannot speak about soldiers. My Buddha’s true spirit is everlasting, and the light of Buddha never fades. Lingjing Star is just a small world among the countless worlds of my Buddha’s realm. Even if you win against us, what difference does it make?"
"That is something for the future; I cannot concern myself with it. All I know is that you have lost now; you can either die or surrender."
"It seems you do not understand our Buddha’s teachings. There is no word for surrender among us."
Kong Yan sneered. In his eyes, the Buddha’s realm had not lost. Blue Star had already used all of its power, while the Buddha’s realm still had strength to fight. Those who remained were the best of the best.
In contrast, Blue Star had far fewer survivors who could still fight.
"Space Battleship, I am Lin Jiang. Aim at the Buddha statue on Blue Star and fire!"
Lin Jiang cackled. If there is no surrender, then today we will destroy the Buddha. All of these Buddhist cultivators deserve to die.
"Boom, boom!"
Dozens of Spiritual Cannons focused on one Buddha statue. The statue opened its eyes once more and shot out golden light, knocking down two shots, but the other Spiritual Cannons still hit the statue.
The golden light from the Buddha statue faded away, remaining intact. But soon after, more battleships attacked. Even if the Buddha statue released all its golden light, it was about to be shattered.
