Chapter 822: Total War

Outer Space of Blue Star

When the Stargate opened, Lin Jiang felt a heavy weight in his heart. This position for opening the Stargate had clearly broken free from the encirclement of the three Space Fleets surrounding Blue Star, directly targeting Blue Star’s weak spot, leaving its defenses wide open.

"Lin Jiang, I sense the presence of true Buddhists, and not just one. I can’t take action; I have my own enemies. You must hold on!"

"Damn it! You jerk! If you had taught me the power of the rules, I wouldn’t be so passive!"

Lin Jiang cursed loudly. If he knew the power of the rules, he could predict the enemy’s movements, even destroy the Stargate now to stop the enemy from reinforcing their troops, or even use his superior strength to wipe out these enemies. But Xia Qingshan didn’t trust him and refused to teach him, leaving them too passive.

Xia Qingshan went silent and stopped talking. His enemies weren’t just Buddhist cultivators; there was also Lin Jiang, an unknown variable. This was his bottom line, one he couldn’t break through now.

"Cao Wang, are you ready over there?"

"Ancestor Lin, it’s ready. The Space Battleships stored in different places have been activated. We maintained them before, so as long as we move the spirit stones inside, they will work."

Cao Wang said that there have been many generations of Space Battleships, but the earlier models were retired because they were not suitable for today’s space activities. However, they were not destroyed; instead, they were stored away.

Using these stored Space Battleships was meant to be a last resort, but now they are being used on the front lines.

"Order the gathered cultivators to go to the locations of the stored Space Battleships. Huaxia will provide energy to start them up, and they should immediately move the spirit stones on board and prepare for battle."

"Blue Star near-space armament, prepare…"

"Lunar Base, prepare…"

Lin Jiang kept giving orders. Now the Lunar Base should have the most people since it is the transit point.

"The enemy has appeared; open fire."

One after another, huge Buddhist cultivators appeared in the Stargate, and they began firing in all directions. Bright flashes of weapons exploded like fireworks on the surface of the Buddhist cultivators.

"One, two, three, four… there are seven Buddhist cultivators in total, but two are missing."

"Ancestor Lin, I am from the Cape I Planet base. We are under attack by the enemy and are in a fierce battle. Many Buddhist cultivators have appeared among the Buddha statues, with over a million of them. We can barely hold on."

Lin Jiang just counted the number of enemies and noticed that two Buddhist cultivators were missing when he received a rescue message from the Cape I Planet base.

"Little Ying, where are you?"

"At the space base, ready for action."

"You must take a team to the Cape I Planet base immediately. They don’t have a complete Space Fleet there, so bring a few more people. They can’t hold out much longer."

"I understand."

"Okay, I will hang up now."

Lin Jiang nodded, then began a call with the Demon Queen, Li Qing, and others to confirm their locations and arrange troops.

Now everything is in chaos; suddenly, three battlefields were opened, and the command of Blue Star had to change as well.

Besides Blue Star, the Buddhist cultivators were still under attack, and their defenses were about to be destroyed.

"Senior Brother Kong Yan."

"Up ahead is Blue Star; descend to Blue Star."

"Brother, we must shoot down those human satellites and aircraft outside Blue Star. Chengzang has reminded us many times."

"Leave a group of people; the rest follow me to land on Blue Star."

Kong Yan said, feeling proud that he had disrupted the enemy’s plans. The enemy’s forces had been drawn away, and now there were not many troops left at Blue Star, which made him very pleased.

Bodhisattva Kongyan ordered, as a Sea-crossing Ark flew toward Blue Star, braving the gunfire. The Sea-crossing Ark was even larger than Blue Star’s biggest Space Mother Ship, coming like a massive wave, creating a strong sense of pressure.

"Launch nuclear weapons."

A Space Battleship received a nod from Lin Jiang and launched a nuclear weapon. This weapon is one of the strongest on Blue Star, but it is rarely used on Space Battleships because it is too expensive and not the most powerful.

But now, there is no time to worry about that; the statue must be destroyed. Blue Star has sent out too many forces, and they don’t have much power left.

"Boom"

A nuclear weapon with a yield of millions exploded on the statue, causing many people to instinctively close their eyes, as if they were staring at the sun.

The statue, already suffering from numerous attacks, could no longer hold together. The Buddha light scattered, revealing the formation of the Sea-crossing Ark, a flying machine similar to the ancient flying boats.

"Kill"

Hundreds of Buddhist cultivators flew out from the Sea-crossing Ark, led by a Bodhisattva, swiftly charging in all directions.

The distance was too close, and they immediately engaged in close combat.

"Boom"

The Sea-crossing Ark faced an attack from the Lunar Base, and the ark shattered into pieces. Hundreds of thousands of Buddhist cultivators appeared; some soared into the sky, while others were knocked down to the atmosphere.

"Damn it, there are many Buddhist cultivators hidden among these statues. The air forces from various countries have taken off to target them."

Lin Jiang cursed loudly. Soon, at airports all over Huaxia, flying machines began to take off. These machines could only fly within Blue Star, but now they were ready to target.

"Rescue your brothers."

Bodhisattva Kongyan also looked grim. The first Sea-crossing Ark suffered greatly; many disciples didn’t even see the enemy before being destroyed.

Soon, the second and third Sea-crossing Arks entered the atmosphere of Blue Star, and the weapons from the Lunar Base couldn’t stop them in time.

"Heavenly Buddhas everywhere."

After the Sea-crossing Arks entered the atmosphere, countless Buddhist cultivators appeared. They didn’t need parachutes and could fly freely within Blue Star, so Lin Jiang saw a sky full of Buddhas through the satellite.

"Golden core reserve team, prepare for battle."

"The robots and drones of the armies around the world are ready for battle."

"Cao Wang, where is your Gundam?"

"Grandpa, the Gundam has been launched."

Cao Wang’s voice came through. The name of the Gundam was given by Lin Jiang, who initially did not want to name it that way. Lin Jiang had invested in building one hundred of them, and later added another one hundred. Now, Blue Star only has fifty left, some of which have not even finished testing yet.

The Gundam was the first to engage with Buddhist cultivation, besides air force aircraft. The giant flying machine, standing over a hundred meters tall, flew into the sky, almost ignoring the attacks from ordinary Buddhist cultivators. Then it took out a giant sword that was forty meters long, and with one swing, dozens of Buddhist cultivators turned to dust.

"What is that thing?"

Bodhisattva Kongyan and other high-ranking members of the Buddhist community were shocked by the endless array of weapons from Blue Star. There were too many different types, many of which Chengzang did not know about. After all, he only gathered some information using the internet.

A Buddhist warrior appeared, blocking the way of a Gundam. With a palm strike, everyone thought the Gundam would shatter like other aircraft, but it only left a small dent on the Gundam, which did not affect it at all as it swung its sword in response.

"Boom!"

The golden warrior of the Buddha withstood the blow and flew out, as the force was too great.

"Amitabha, killing is not the wish of my Buddha’s teachings. Dear disciples of the Buddha, these are the heretics from another world. Please purify these evil beings."

Kong Yan’s voice echoed across the entire world; as soon as he finished speaking, countless Buddhist cultivators appeared from every Sea-crossing Ark.

"Tat tat tat…"

Some aircraft deployed their machine guns, and the upgraded guns started firing. At a rate of over ten thousand rounds per minute, many Buddhist cultivators were caught unprepared and turned into dust.

Meanwhile, the long-absent missiles from Blue Star appeared. Since the truce with the demon race, the missiles had not been seen for a long time, but now, thousands upon thousands soared into the sky, exploding over the areas dense with Buddhist cultivators.

At the same time, some aircraft from the Lunar Base also rushed out to return to Blue Star for battle. More cultivators came back through the lunar teleportation array, launching directly into combat without needing Lin Jiang’s orders. There may have been some dissatisfaction before, but now no one complained, as they were defending their homeland.

"It’s my turn now."

Lin Jiang said lightly, releasing two substitutes he had previously crafted to command the situation while he himself left Haigang City to engage in battle.
