Chapter 881: Another Victory

Lingfa Star, Star Domain

The battle was still going on, and the Buddhist sect was still at a disadvantage, which was very hard for Xuan Fa and the others to accept. The Buddha Master had appeared, yet they had not achieved victory, which should not have been the case.

After all, in their eyes, the Buddha Master was all-powerful. Why was it like this? Did they have to face defeat in front of the Buddha Master?

"Amitabha"

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the Buddha Master began to recite the scriptures. As he chanted, all the Buddhist cultivators, whether ordinary ones or true Buddhas, felt a great power bursting forth within them, filling their hearts with fearless thoughts. They felt they could easily overcome any difficulty, and their fallen spirit rapidly returned, making their counterattack even more fierce.

The Heavenly Emperor was both angry and amused. The esteemed Buddha Master was truly shameless; he had never expected this. The Heavenly Emperor then waved his hand and said, "Heavenly Rain Falls."

As his hand waved, a gentle rain actually began to fall from the starry sky. This rain had no effect on the Buddhist cultivators, as if they were simply caught in a shower. But for the cultivators on their side, everyone felt invigorated. Some injured cultivators immediately saw their wounds rapidly healing, and their energy was instantly replenished, even those who were on the brink of death.

"Divine Powers"

Lin Jiang reached out his hand to feel the sweet rain and couldn’t help but marvel once again at the powers of the divine. Lin Jiang was sure that he could not do this, and neither could Xia Qingshan. This Heavenly Emperor truly deserved to be alongside Buddha Master.

"So strong!"

Liang Long was also amazed. The power of the immortal made him even more eager to enhance his own strength. This battle had truly opened his eyes. He once thought being at the top of the Blue Star’s fighting strength was very strong, but he realized he was still like an ant or a frog in a well. Nevertheless, Liang Long remained confident; he believed in his abilities, and someday, he would achieve this too.

"Liang Long, let’s go into battle!"

Lin Jiang could no longer hold back. He was excited about such a great battle and now wanted to join.

"Ancestor Lin, come into battle at the Transmigration Stage, but let’s not send anyone at the Tao Achieving stage to avoid unnecessary casualties."

"That’s fine. Are you coming too?"

"I can just command for now."

Liang Long smiled and said, call him timid, but he wasn’t afraid of those ordinary Buddhist cultivators. What he feared were the true Buddhas, who did not follow the rules of combat. If they struck unexpectedly again, it would be the end for him.

A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall; the first priority is to ensure one’s own safety.

After a brief preparation, Lin Jiang and the others boldly charged into the battlefield. The addition of the six Transmigration Stage members gave the cultivators a slight advantage.

Lin Jiang decided not to confront Xuan Fa anymore. Someone like Xuan Fa would naturally be handled by a master from Canglan Star. Lin Jiang only looked for ordinary Transmigration Stage fighters to deal with, and while he couldn’t guarantee a complete victory, he could definitely overpower them.

"Let’s not stay too far apart and remember to collect the Dao Rhythms."

Lin Jiang communicated with the others; they had worked together for many years and had great teamwork. Fighting as a small team made things easier and allowed them to collect Dao Rhythms more effectively.

No matter how Xia Qingshan betrayed them, he was still one of their own, and it didn’t make sense to leave the Dao Rhythms for others.

On the battlefield, the number of Tao Achieving and Transmigration Stage fighters combined exceeded one thousand, with casualties nearly every few minutes. Even the Tao Achieving fighters were no different from mere cannon fodder; it was truly brutal.

Cao Ying trusted Lin Jiang the most. Once on the battlefield, she coordinated with Lin Jiang. They both had long-range attack methods, one far and one near, moving skillfully in battle.

·······

As time passed, the number of Buddhist cultivators became fewer and fewer. Even with a few reinforcements from the Buddhist world, they suffered many losses, and the greatest credit surprisingly still went to the Space Battleship.

By now, the losses of the Space Battleship did not exceed three hundred, but the number of defeated Buddhist masters was beyond counting. Every time the Buddhists attacked the Space Battleship’s position, they faced heavy casualties, yet each assault ended in failure, often resulting in severe losses without destroying all the Space Battleships.

Moreover, the Space Battleship acted as a bait; as long as it continued to fire, the Buddhist cultivators had no choice but to try to destroy it. If they did not, their losses would be even greater, leaving them feeling as miserable as if they had swallowed a fly, driving the Buddhist cultivators nearly to madness.

"It’s rare to see all the fleet’s battleships on energy alert."

Liang Long glanced at the information on the control panel. They had lost nearly three fleets of Space Battleships, leaving twenty-two, with over two thousand Space Battleships almost all on energy alert. This situation was very rare; after so many battles, it was indeed the first time he had seen it.

Also, their supply ships were running low on energy. Liang Long had already told Ming’an that the cultivators from Canglan Star were supplying them with spirit stones.

"At this point, the war is almost over."

Liang Long looked at the battlefield. He could not see the battlefield of the immortals, but he could clearly see the battlefield of the Buddhist cultivators. After being reinforced, the Buddhists were weakened to below three hundred, while on the side of Canglan Star, there were at least five hundred people with Tao Achieving or higher, giving them a great advantage.

"Lord Liang, the energy chambers of the damaged battleships have been retrieved and have already docked with the ships…"

"Continue the attack, the other warships, hurry to gather energy."

Liang Long soon received the news that they took the chance to drag back a few destroyed warships, retrieved the energy chambers, and now they could fire again. As for the other warships, the spirit stones were used up, but they still had a lot of nuclear fuel, and with his energy conversion technology, they could gather energy.

The outstanding performance of the warships also caught the attention of the Heavenly Emperor and the Buddha Master. Although the warships seemed insignificant and posed no threat to them, they were a powerful weapon for ordinary cultivators.

The Heavenly Emperor was naturally pleased that his side suffered fewer losses because of the warships, while the Buddha Master frowned; this technological method caused him heavy losses.

"Buddha Master, why not admit defeat and let go of these few planets?"

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at the Buddha Master and softly said, the current situation was clear; the Buddhist sect had certainly lost, but they still had other means, like recruiting more people. If the Buddha Master brought in more people, he would have to do the same, and this would escalate the war.

It might lead to a full-scale war between the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court, which would be unfavorable for both, as there were other powers in this world.

"Amitabha."

The Buddha Master shook his head, signaling his refusal. He could not make this decision; if he admitted defeat, what would the people below think?

"Just hold on."

The Heavenly Emperor did not want to say much more; he could not compromise now.

The battle of the celestial beings was at its peak. Xia Qingshan had been fighting fiercely; this was his first battle for revenge, and even the Heavenly Emperor had appeared. He had to show his best, but the immortals and true Buddhas were really hard to defeat. Each had their own ways to protect themselves, and there were countless beings to sacrifice, and not a single one had died yet.

On the battlefield, the activity of the Buddhist cultivators had been completely suppressed by the cultivators. More and more Buddhist cultivators were falling, and fewer were surviving. The Buddha Master had blessed them many times, and so had the Heavenly Emperor, but it still could not turn the tide for the Buddhist cultivators.

This made some Buddhist cultivators feel despair. With their sincere Buddhist hearts, some Buddhist cultivators used secret techniques at any cost, even perishing together with the cultivators.

"Xuan Fa, surrender. You have already lost."

Ming’an communicated with Xuan Fa, saying that after fighting for so long, the side of Canglan Star was also exhausted. Out of more than eight hundred masters, only over five hundred remained, with casualties nearing half.

"Amitabha, there is no such thing as surrender in the Buddha’s teachings."

Xuan Fa shook his head; no one dared to mention surrender. There would be no surrenderers in the Buddha’s teachings. They were deeply devoted to the Buddha Master, and even if it meant death, they would not wish to surrender.

"If you do not want to surrender, then let death come."

Ming’an was also angry. Since they wanted to fight like cornered beasts, then let them fight; let’s see how long they can hold on.

"Friend Liang Long, bring the cultivators from Blue Star to join the battle and deal the final blow to the Buddhist cultivators."

Ming’an contacted Liang Long. Both sides were very exhausted now, completely worn out, and Liang Long still had one last reserve team. Although there weren’t many people, they could still be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

"Okay."

Liang Long quickly agreed. Most of the warships had already stopped attacking because they ran out of energy. The energy conversion from the nuclear fuel took time, often half an hour for one strike.

He understood the situation on the battlefield, so it was time for them to step in and deal a fatal blow to the Buddhist cultivators.

Liang Long gathered all the experts from Blue Star who had achieved Tao status or higher, a total of fourteen people, including himself, all ready for battle.
