Chapter 842: Counterattack on the Buddhist Sect

Year 7970 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Lingjing Star Star Domain

A Stargate appeared, and several transport spaceships and a Space Battleship appeared as well. Following them were Liang Long and other skilled individuals. Since there were not many experts, the Stargate’s transmission distance was not far. After many years, they finally reached the vicinity of the Lingjing Star Star Domain.

"According to the information, just one or two light-years ahead is Lingjing Star."

Liang Long glanced at the Star Chart and said that they had gathered a lot of information about Lingjing Star, most of which was provided by Xia Qingshan.

Some of the information came from their spiritual treasures which absorbed the memories of Buddhist cultivators’ spiritual treasures, and some was obtained through forced soul searching. By combining various bits of information, they designed the best route to Lingjing Star.

As for the Stargate signals, they used those left by the Buddhist sect on Lingjing Star. They planned to attack back to Lingjing Star in the same way the Buddhist sect reached Blue Star.

"Let’s rest before we set off again; otherwise, the others won’t be able to hold on."

The Fire Scale Demon Emperor said, as the only eighth-tier in the whole team, he could endure, but the weaker members could not.

"Alright, let everyone rest."

Liang Long nodded. The whole team had only five Tao Achieving cultivators, plus five Demon Emperors. They also gathered some Void Achieving individuals and sixth-tier Demon Emperors for assistance. Many people were running low on spiritual energy.

Liang Long had someone bring out the pills and spirit stones for everyone to use; otherwise, there was no spiritual energy in space, making it impossible to rest.

Once their spiritual energy was restored, they didn’t rush to leave. Liang Long released many probe ships to scan the area. Unlike those Buddhist cultivators, he was a true scientist with a great interest in the stars, so he needed to make some preparations.

Liang Long set off again only after the probe ships returned on time.

·······

"Up ahead is Lingjing Star, exactly as described in the data. Lingjing Star has no technological weapons, and the powerful ones have mostly disappeared. There is no defense in space, so we can directly attack."

A hundred thousand kilometers away, aboard the Space Battleship, Liang Long gathered everyone to discuss. The display screen showed clear video of Lingjing Star.

"So what are we waiting for? Let’s just attack!"

"When the meat is right in front of us, there’s no need to rush. According to our agreement, we will first send the Demon Race’s Demon Insect army and the robot army to occupy the central continent of Lingjing Star, which is also the main continent. We all need to participate in destroying the one hundred eighty-six main Buddhist temples on Lingjing Star…"

Liang Long discussed the details with them, and both Zheng Yi and Fire Scale Demon Emperor nodded frequently. They discovered that Liang Long worked very carefully, much more reliably than they did.

After they made their plans, Liang Long left the transport ship and piloted the Space Battleship towards Lingjing Star. The Space Battleship was not as long as the thirty-kilometer-long Space Mother Ship, but it was still about four or five kilometers long, making it a very frightening giant to Lingjing Star.

When the Space Battleship appeared above Lingjing Star, the entire Buddhist community there was thrown into chaos. Decades ago, when Bodhisattva Kongyan and his group fell, they had a feeling that the enemy would strike back. However, after many years of peace, many had let their guard down, but now, the enemy had truly come.

"Amitabha."

Some Buddhist cultivators mournfully chanted the Buddha’s name while some young skilled Buddhist cultivators dashed towards the Space Battleship, but without exception, they were blown up by it.

"Lingjing Star is quite impressive; in just a few decades, they have new Diamond-level Buddhist cultivators appearing."

Liang Long scanned the entire Lingjing Star with the Space Battleship and quickly found many powerful Buddhist cultivators. Based on their energy levels, they should be at the Void Achieving stage. As for the many at the Soul Changing level, if they had come a hundred years later, new Bodhisattvas might have appeared.

"Go, bring destruction!"

The Fire Scale Demon Emperor saw the hatch of the Space Battleship open and commanded a fifth-level mother bug, which was followed by countless Demon Insects pouring out like a tide.

"Disciples of Ying Continent, listen up, seek revenge!"

Zheng Yi also sent fighters from the Ying Continent. Originally, Liang Long did not allow them to go because the initial killing would surely be severe. However, Zheng Yi refused to obey this order. They needed revenge. In the battle of Blue Star, Ying Continent was not the main battlefield, but still, several hundred million people had died. They wanted to clear their shame.

"Artificial intelligence has scanned and locked onto targets. Robots are now in action. All Buddhist cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, no matter who they are, must be eliminated."

Liang Long didn’t think much about it and set up a program for the artificial intelligence. It would mark Buddhist cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above according to their energy levels. Those exceeding this energy value would be attacked by the robots.

The killing had begun. They learned from the Buddhist cultivators’ tactics and spread their forces across the whole Lingjing Star, starting mobile operations, while Liang Long piloted the Space Battleship to deal with the temples.

The first target was the Wanfa Temple, known as the number one temple in Lingjing Star. The Space Battleship arrived above Wanfa Temple and fired a Spiritual Cannon at it.

"Boom"

With one shot, a swastika symbol appeared above Wanfa Temple, directly blocking all the energy. Through the gap, Liang Long saw that many Buddhist cultivators had gathered inside Wanfa Temple, reciting scriptures to strengthen the temple’s defense formation.

Seeing this, Liang Long took out a jade box. When the box opened, a green pearl was inside. Liang Long threw the pearl out, and it disappeared when it hit the ground.

In an instant, the sky above Lingjing Star became turbulent. This was Xia Qingshan’s Soul Fragment in action. He was establishing a presence on Lingjing Star, preparing to take it by force.

Of course, it is impossible now. The current owner of Lingjing Star is still the true Buddha of the Buddhist sect, not the Kong Xiang from before, but someone else entirely.

Xia Qingshan’s presence is the greatest protection for Liang Long and his friends. He can ensure that Liang Long and they will not be directly attacked by the heavenly forces of Lingjing Star.

After more than ten attacks, seeing that the formation of Wanfa Temple remained intact, Liang Long became angry and directly summoned a nuclear weapon. It was not of the world-ending level, but still had a power of millions of tons.

"Boom"

With one nuclear weapon, Wanfa Temple vanished, and along with it, several mountain peaks turned into one giant deep pit.

"Liang Long, don’t launch the nuclear bomb. This is our territory; let’s take it slow and not rush."

Some people got anxious. With one nuclear bomb, at least thousands of miles of land would be destroyed and contaminated. The area around Wanfa Temple is still the essence of Lingjing Star; it would be such a waste.

Liang Long chuckled and did not launch the nuclear bomb again. Wanfa Temple is the spiritual sanctuary for the Buddhist cultivators of Lingjing Star, and destroying this sanctuary was enough.

Liang Long set his sights on other temples. There are a total of one hundred eighty-six temples on Lingjing Star that have produced skilled individuals with long-standing legacies. These temples also form the main foundation of Lingjing Star’s cultivation civilization, and all must be destroyed.

It is worth mentioning that Lingjing Star does not have an official organization like a mortal dynasty; everything is managed by the Buddhist temples, which have divided territory and are responsible for looking after the mortals within their area. The offerings made by the mortals replace things like taxes, turning them into good citizens under the temples. Therefore, breaking down these temples would essentially solve the leadership issues in the region.

Liang Long sat in the command room of the Space Battleship, where the large screen in front of him showed scenes of battle. On Lingjing Star, there were billions of beings, with at least hundreds of millions capable of cultivation. They were fiercely resisting at this moment.

"There is also a demon race on Lingjing Star. Wow, a demon race that doesn’t eat meat, that is really rare."

Liang Long also saw some resisting demon races. They had been raised by the Buddhist sect since childhood and were not allowed to eat meat, let alone humans. This resulted in the demon race on Lingjing Star being very weak, with very few who could transform. Those who could were simply guardians of the Buddhist sect and were still Buddhist cultivators.

"Kill, kill! No matter which world, it is always survival of the fittest."

Liang Long sighed and said that he didn’t actually like killing, but there was no choice. If he didn’t kill, they wouldn’t just hand Lingjing Star over to him for no reason, so he could only stop the killing with more killing.
