Chapter 817
by post_apiChapter 817: The Battle of Yangjiang
Blue Star, Qiyun
Yangjiang City has a population of hundreds of thousands. Those who reacted quickly have already escaped, while those who were slow are no longer here.
The aftermath of Tao Achieving and the tribulation battle has destroyed the entire city. There are broken roofs and collapsed walls everywhere. Even tall buildings, which missiles couldn’t destroy, have fallen one by one.
Bodhisattva Changguang was struck away by Lin Jiang but quickly returned. He spat out golden blood and was surrounded by a radiant light. With a wave of his hand, a field appeared, enveloping Lin Jiang.
Inside this field, Lin Jiang’s strength was not only suppressed, but his ears were filled with countless chanting voices. These voices could disturb Lin Jiang’s focus, and if he lost his calm, he might be forced into submission.
"The Power of Rules"
Lin Jiang thought of these four words in his heart; this is the power of rules, but unfortunately, he does not know how to use it.
Being suppressed in strength did not scare Lin Jiang, for he has countless years of life to burn and squander. This thousand years have not been wasted.
"Wretched beast, will you not surrender?"
Bodhisattva Changguang became extremely solemn and holy, speaking sacred words that made Lin Jiang feel an urge to throw away his treasure and give up, but he quickly discarded that thought.
"Dead old donkey"
Lin Jiang shouted back, and then in a surge of energy appeared three Lin Jiangs, dividing into three paths to attack.
"Impudent"
Bodhisattva Changguang shouted fiercely, and then with a swift movement, he struck out his palm, which instantly grew hundreds of times larger, crashing toward Lin Jiang.
"Boom"
Lin Jiang clashed with the palm print, and with a flash, a Slaying God Spear shot out. The tip of the spear released a dark aura, and it disappeared together with the palm print.
"Amitabha"
Bodhisattva Changguang recited a Buddhist chant, and as he spoke, a swastika symbol appeared, pressing down on Lin Jiang. One of the Lin Jiangs suddenly couldn’t move, causing Lin Jiang to change his expression.
"Ever-changing"
Lin Jiang used a secret technique again, and suddenly, hundreds of Lin Jiangs appeared in Bodhisattva Changguang’s domain, some real and some not, making it hard to tell which was the true one.
At the same time, the battle in Yangjiang City had reached a very intense stage, and the Buddhist sect was suffering heavy losses. Cao Ying and the Demon Queen were each fighting a Bodhisattva and overwhelming them, while the Shenwu Demon Emperor and Fire Scale Demon Emperor took on Chengzang’s arhats with more strength.
Almost every arhat was being overwhelmed by more than two opponents. As for the diamond warriors below the arhats, there were even more on Blue Star’s side. Although the demon race did not bring sixth-tier warriors, there were plenty of Void Achieving humans.
After more than a thousand years of spiritual energy recovery, many Void Achieving Stage cultivators had appeared in Huaxia. Early geniuses like Lin Liyan and Ning Li had already reached the Void Achieving level, and there were even more at the Void Achieving Stage.
However, some members of the human race also fell one after another. The strength of Buddhist cultivators was very high, generally stronger than that of regular cultivators. Many Buddhist cultivators were extremely fierce; in order to create opportunities for others to escape, they often sacrificed themselves and entered a frenzied state.
"Amitabha, Buddha said, if I do not enter hell, who will enter hell?"
An arhat shouted loudly, and then burned his Buddha blood, his aura rising wildly, using a secret technique to burn his lifespan. Other cultivators could not confront him as Lin Jiang did; they could only avoid his powerful strikes.
In the sky, Cao Ying used a flying sword with great skill. Compared to before, the flying sword was different; it was wrapped around by a thunder dragon, constantly unleashing thunder.
This was the secret technique Cao Ying had newly learned, from the famous technique of the Thunder Emperor, known as Primordial Thunder.
At that moment, Cao Ying also entered the opponent’s domain, but this domain was on the verge of collapse and could not stop Cao Ying’s attack. It seemed that the domain had become merely a secret technique for the opponent to avoid being hit.
"The body of that bald donkey is really tough."
Cao Ying saw that her opponent had taken her hits more than ten times yet was still lively, and she couldn’t help but marvel that the bodies from the Buddhist sect are even stronger than those of cultivators who specialize in physical techniques; they probably have become indestructible by now.
Of course, being indestructible does not mean invincible; at least Cao Ying knew that under the extreme heat of a nuclear weapon, no body would stand a chance.
At this moment, it was actually the Demon Queen who was struggling. Her opponent was just as strong as Bodhisattva Changguang, and the Demon Queen had not learned more techniques from the demon race, so her strength remained about the same. Even though she managed to suppress her opponent, the threat to the Demon Queen was still very great.
"Set up the killing formation and take them down!"
Zhu Bin did not join the fight but was managing the formation. Hundreds of Formation Masters were in position, controlling the formation and looking for an opportunity. When they saw that the big bald man was injured, the killing formation immediately activated, unleashing invisible sword energy.
"Is this what aliens look like?"
Soon, Li Qing arrived with the elite from Ying Continent, nearly a hundred people in total. Besides himself, there were others like Zheng Yi, including the new generation of cultivators from Ying Continent.
Now in Blue Star, several main powers, including Qingyun, Zhou Liao, and Ying Continent, have Void Achieving cultivators, and there is more than one. As for other countries, there might be a few Void Achieving cultivators, but usually only one or two, as they have gathered all their resources to create them, unlike the systematic training in Huaxia.
"Li Qing, are you going in to join the battle?"
Cao Wang and Lin Huafei appeared. Although they were both at the Tao Achieving level, they were not going to easily join the fight, because they were technicians, the reserve team. If they were to die, it would be too great a loss.
"Since we are here, we are here to join the battle."
Li Qing said in a low voice. Cao Ying had talked to her several times, and she had mostly met Li Qing’s demands. Li Qing also knew very well that if she did not contribute now, she could forget about reaping any benefits later.
"Then let’s go in. Zhu Bin, open a path for her."
"Okay."
Zhu Bin nodded, ready to open a path for Li Qing and her team at any moment.
"Those below Void Achieving should not go in; those above Void Achieving, follow me."
Li Qing nodded. There were also more than ten Soul Changing companions with her, but it seemed that entering was of no use.
The arrival of Li Qing and the others was the final blow to the Buddhist cultivators, like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The Buddhist sect quickly fell into defeat.
"The Buddhist sect will always exist, and the true spirit will never die. The Buddha Master will bring us back to life."
"For the Buddhist sect."
Some crazy Buddhist cultivators launched suicidal attacks, even exploding themselves. They were extremely fanatical about the Buddhist sect and believed that the Buddha Master would revive them.
In the legends of the Buddhist sect on Lingjing Star, their Buddha Master was an all-powerful being. Even if the true spirit was extinguished, the Buddha Master could bring them back to life.
So as soon as Li Qing and the others entered, they were in trouble. Some Buddhist cultivators charged straight at them and exploded, leaving Li Qing in a very messy state.
"Boom!"
In the battlefield of the Bodhisattva and the Transmigration Stage, Cao Ying was the first to break the opponent’s domain. The true form of that Bodhisattva cracked, and the used relics were completely used up, unable to maintain the domain any longer.
"Open"
Soon after, the Shenwu Demon Emperor and the Fire Scale Demon Emperor rushed onto the battlefield of the Demon Queen, helping her to break through the realm.
The two Bodhisattvas quickly entered the realm of Bodhisattva Changguang, seeking refuge, but once they entered, they realized that Bodhisattva Changguang was barely holding on, with his true form nearly shattering.
"One can fight, and three can fight too."
Lin Jiang saw the other two Bodhisattvas come in and let out a furious roar before charging forward again.
It wasn’t just Lin Jiang charging; countless versions of Lin Jiang, created through transformation, were all charging in, just like the shadow clone technique from Naruto, making it hard to tell what was real.
With each strike, Lin Jiang was burning his life force, causing Bodhisattva Changguang to become increasingly distressed.
"Boom"
When Cao Ying and the Demon Queen entered, Bodhisattva Changguang’s realm shattered completely.
"The Final Move"
Bodhisattva Changguang said to the two, who both nodded with serious expressions.
Then, the three joined hands, and golden Buddhist blood sprinkled everywhere. That blood slowly formed a statue of a Buddha, majestic and holy, and a fearful aura spread.
"The True Buddha Descends to Earth"
"Please, my Buddha, help save the demon king from another world…"
The three used all their strength to summon the true form of the Buddha, which filled Lin Jiang and the others with immense terror, as just the spreading aura made them feel breathless; this true Buddha was far too powerful.
"Xia Qingshan"
Lin Jiang let out a furious roar, and then a gigantic handprint appeared. Before the true Buddha could fully take shape, the handprint shattered the true Buddha, and the three from Changguang spewed out Buddhist blood and flew backward again.
