Chapter 804
by post_apiChapter 804: Freedom Bestowing Sutra
Cape III Planet Domain
Bodhisattva Puxiang was fleeing for his life. He had fully felt the power of this space weapon. Although each strike was not very strong and could not break his shield at once, the number of strikes was many and lasted a long time. Even an army of ants can kill an elephant, let alone these are not ants.
Puxiang began to escape, the other arhats also started to flee, while the Shenwu Demon Emperor dared not pursue and also left the battle.
"Boom"
An ultrasonic weapon appeared, launching a range attack that disrupted several arhats’ spells, causing them to fall from the void.
"Brother"
The other arhats were all shocked. They stopped running and quickly returned to rescue.
Even Bodhisattva Puxiang appeared again. Although there were hundreds of arhats from Lingjing Star, each one was trained at a great cost, and none could be abandoned easily.
"Heavenly Deities"
Bodhisattva Puxiang looked at the distant Space Battleship and immediately activated his most powerful skill. Countless mental powers surged with spiritual energy, creating a field in the Star Domain.
This field rapidly expanded, and some attacks from the Space Battleships disappeared within it. Some ships were enveloped by the field and experienced system failures, causing them to be easily destroyed by the other arhats.
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Unknown danger, retreat!"
On Cape III Planet, Shiyi shouted. This technique was unfamiliar to him, but as he watched several ships go silent and then explode, he realized something was wrong.
The battleships began to accelerate and retreat. Shiyi shouted again, "Shenwu Demon Emperor, lead the Demon Emperor in; I will follow shortly!"
"I give you command here. Direct the battleships to patrol the outskirts, do not enter the golden light area, and conduct mobile attacks."
"Tao Achieving cultivator, follow me!"
Shiyi issued orders all around and handed command over to a cultivator. Then, he and five Tao Achieving humans instantly vanished from Cape III Planet and flew into space.
The Tao Achieving set up by Huaxia at Cape III consists of six people, along with ten from the demon race. The Shenwu Demon Emperor is at the eighth level, equivalent to Transmigration Stage, and their strength is already very strong. They have tried to overestimate the enemy, but now it seems they may have underestimated them a bit.
"Bodhisattva"
A group of arhats gathered around Bodhisattva Puxiang, looking at him with worry. This move took a huge toll on him, almost exhausting all of Bodhisattva Puxiang’s spiritual power, leaving him without his strongest card.
"You all quickly activate the Stargate Secret Technique to escape. I am running out of spiritual power. Hurry back to Lingjing Star!"
Bodhisattva Puxiang said, filled with both fear and surprise. He was afraid because he encountered a strong enemy for the first time, and the enemy was very strange, able to launch attacks harmful to high-level cultivators with seemingly low-level magical tools. He was surprised to see many powerful cultivators; a world that can nurture so many cultivators must be powerful and vast, which is an opportunity for them in Lingjing Star. They have not encountered other worlds before, and this is the first one. They wonder if this counts as a good start.
The other arhats exchanged glances and immediately joined forces to use a secret technique. Their spiritual power surged, and the golden light they emitted formed a mysterious talisman pattern, creating a ripple in the starry sky.
"Baldy, don’t run away!"
Seeing the group of arhats trying to escape, the Shenwu Demon Emperor charged once again, accompanied by other Demon Emperors who also entered Bodhisattva Puxiang’s domain.
Once they entered the domain, they felt its terrifying power. It was as if they had fallen into a swamp; their strength was suppressed, and their movements became much slower.
At this moment, the Space Battleship outside was still launching various attacks, which was incredibly exhausting for Puxiang’s domain. The Shenwu Demon Emperor charged in again, and Puxiang had no choice but to intervene to stop him.
"Bodhisattva, the Stargate is open, please leave quickly."
"You all go ahead; I have my own way to escape. Hurry!"
Bodhisattva Puxiang shook his head. In this situation, if he left, the Stargate might be destroyed. He had to stay back to hold them off.
The other arhats, hearing this, glanced at Puxiang with serious expressions, then each one jumped into the Stargate. Puxiang was blocked by a group of powerful members of the demon race, watching the Stargate close, unable to escape.
"Amitabha, you vile beast, surrender yourself!"
Seeing that his domain was starting to fade and that six human Tao Achievers had arrived, Bodhisattva Puxiang suddenly glared at the Shenwu Demon Emperor and shouted angrily.
"Ah!"
There was a cry of anguish from the Shenwu Demon Emperor, and a Demon Emperor turned back to see him clutching his head, his scales appearing, and he could barely maintain his human form.
Seeing this opportunity, Bodhisattva Puxiang swiftly pushed away the other Demon Emperors and quickly escaped, using all his energy to increase his speed. In the blink of an eye, he covered countless miles, leaving even some flying magical beasts feeling ashamed.
"Sir"
The other Demon Emperors, realizing they could not match his speed, did not give chase but nervously surrounded Shenwu Demon Emperor. As an old Demon Emperor who had survived in the age of cultivation, Shenwu Demon Emperor was still highly respected.
"Chase him! Chase him!"
In the air, Shiyi contacted various warships with his watch, asking them to pursue the bald man.
"Shenwu Demon Emperor, how are you?"
Shiyi and the others finally reached Shenwu Demon Emperor’s side and quickly asked.
"I, I, I have a bald man in my sea of consciousness constantly chanting to me. He wants me to convert to some kind of Buddha path. I can hardly hold on, and I am wavering."
"What? Then you must get rid of that bald man quickly!"
"I can’t get rid of it; my spirit attack feels like it’s hitting the air. You all need to leave quickly; I’m afraid I might hurt you."
"Th-this…"
Shiyi and the others turned pale; this was too strange. What kind of secret technique was this? They had never heard of it before.
"Hurry up! I can’t hold on much longer. If I reveal my true self, he will control me!"
The Shenwu Demon Emperor was still shouting, while Shiyi and the others were ready to retreat. The other Demon Emperors were very hesitant, not knowing what to do.
"You all go quickly and chase the enemy; leave this to me."
Just then, Shiyi and the others heard a voice enter their ears. They looked up and saw that Lin Jiang and Cao Ying had arrived.
As soon as Lin Jiang and the others noticed the appearance of the Buddhist cultivator, they set out from Huaxia, using the teleportation array to arrive one by one, and now they had reached the battlefield.
"Follow me."
Cao Ying continued to chase after Bodhisattva Puxiang, always in contact with the tracking Space Battleship, while Lin Jiang arrived beside the Shenwu Demon Emperor, leading him into a Space Battleship.
"Do not resist my power."
Lin Jiang said, and then his soul power entered the consciousness sea, helping the Shenwu Demon Emperor erase the marks left by the Buddhist cultivator.
Lin Jiang had a secret method that could erase this kind of mark, taught to him by Xia Qingshan, and it only had this function; he was unwilling to teach anything more.
Lin Jiang’s soul power entered the consciousness sea of the Shenwu Demon Emperor and soon saw a majestic Buddha in the center of the consciousness sea. The Buddha had his eyes closed and was reciting sacred texts.
These sacred texts held a strong power of temptation, capable of stirring up a person’s past and had a powerful hallucinatory effect. They could make one feel deep shame, as if their whole life was filled with sins that were hard to forgive, and only by seeking refuge in Buddhism could these sins be cleansed.
Lin Jiang was also affected by this temptation; memories of the past kept surfacing. For countless years, he had taken many lives, starting with the Lin family of Yun State, where he shed much blood. After coming to Huaxia, his words alone could decide the fates of countless people.
"Is this enough to make me feel deeply sinful? Hmph."
Lin Jiang sneered, forcibly suppressing these thoughts, and continuously used his powers to resist the Buddha, tirelessly trying to erase its influence.
The Bodhisattva Puxiang contained a relic within the body of the Shenwu Demon Emperor, which was left by a high monk after his passing. Many Bodhisattvas have chanted sutras day and night to bless it, giving it great power.
However, this is ultimately a lifeless object. Without the external support of a Buddhist cultivator, its power will gradually diminish. Lin Jiang, on the other hand, is here in his true form, continuously sending out energy. As one increases and the other decreases, given enough time, he will surely eliminate its mark.
"Die, you bald head, die!"
The Shenwu Demon Emperor was also fighting back in a desperate situation. The feeling of guilt made him very uncomfortable and went against his usual values. After all, he was part of the demon race, and the demon race did not kill or devour. How could they advance, just by chanting sutras?
"Shenwu Demon Emperor, use another word that sounds better!"
"What?"
"Remember, from now on, call them bald donkeys!"
Lin Jiang laughed heartily, as long as the Shenwu Demon Emperor kept resisting, they could not lose this battle.
