Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 931

Unknown Star Domain

When Ci’en and the others saw the countless Space Battleships, their hearts sank. They were too familiar with this situation and this strategy.

The Space Battleships were on the outside, using long-range weapons to focus their fire, which the Buddhist cultivators couldn’t withstand. If you didn’t dodge, the continuous fire would break through even the strongest defenses.

It was also hard to escape since the enemies were engaged, and you couldn’t just run away whenever you wanted.

So previously, the Buddhist sect of the Tiannan Star Domain chose the best method to destroy the warships through high-speed maneuvers, but that was also a trap. Even if you broke through layer after layer of obstacles, the warships could self-destruct at any time.

One could say that the appearance of Space Battleships left the Buddhist sect frustrated, unable to advance or retreat.

"Senior Brother, be careful of the Space Battleships. Organize the troops and form a battle array against the Space Battleships."

Ci’en sent a message to the lead Bodhisattva of Mahayana Star, saying that now the Buddhist sect had the advantage in numbers and couldn’t scatter. They must gather many skilled fighters to form a battle array, so they could counter the Space Battleships’ long-range attacks. Otherwise, at distances of millions or even tens of millions of kilometers, the offensive capabilities of the Buddhist cultivators would be weakened.

Unfortunately, Ci’en’s suggestion was ignored by the Bodhisattvas of Mahayana Star. They did not have enough understanding of the Space Battleship and did not realize its power. They thought it was just a kind of treasure; no matter how big it was, how powerful could it be? The Bodhisattvas were the pinnacle of practitioners.

Inside the Space Battleship, the commander ordered that the battlefield was too complex. Cultivators and Buddhist cultivators were moving at high speeds. If they used Spiritual Cannons, it would be easy to accidentally hit their own people, so the attacks had to be precise.

After the orders were given, thousands of lasers filled the battlefield, creating chaos. The lasers flew everywhere, and some Buddhist cultivators had mystical techniques that could even withstand lasers, which was quite impressive.

Within half an hour of the Space Battleship joining the battle, its great power was revealed. Buddhist cultivators below the arhat level were almost eliminated in two or three hits, and sometimes they could be taken down in a single focused attack.

Buddhist cultivators above the arhat level, although they could not be directly defeated, often created opportunities for other cultivators to strike and cause damage.

"Eliminate them!"

Finally, some Buddhist cultivators realized the threat of the Space Battleship and ordered its destruction.

Dozens of Bodhisattvas abandoned their opponents and headed straight for the Space Battleship. They flew or teleported at incredible speeds, so fast that they left no trace.

"Dodge the battle, maneuver to retreat."

The commanders of each squadron immediately began to dodge, protecting each other. First, they locked on with radar scans and fired to hold their position while continuously retreating and dodging, using artificial intelligence to plan the best escape routes.

In front of the battleships, the Blue Star forces formed groups of dozens, standing together to face the enemy. Otherwise, Tao Achieving would not be a match for them and could easily be defeated in one strike.

"Protect the battleship, stop them!"

Ming Xin also understood how the Space Battleship operated. Seeing the Buddhist sect send people to destroy the battleship, he quickly sent out his forces to stop them.

At this moment, the battlefield had more than just the Blue Star’s Space Battleships. Ming Xin’s Canglan Star and Taoist Friend Da’s Xuanque Star, among others, were also present. Their numbers were fewer than Blue Star’s, but still considerable, especially Canglan Star, who had hired and formed more than ten Space Fleets.

The true strength of these battleships was not as powerful as the ones Lin Jiang had, after all, they were either exported or retired. However, when facing a Buddhist cultivator, they were still effective because Lin Jiang was wary of these Space Battleships targeting him, relying on aspects like electronic warfare.

On the entire battlefield, the number of Space Battleships exceeded six thousand, each ship located tens of thousands of kilometers apart, creating a vast presence that subtly surrounded the whole battlefield.

As the Buddhist cultivators attacked the Space Battleships, the battlefield became more chaotic. The command rhythm of both sides was disrupted, leading to a real free-for-all.

The battlefield became more chaotic, and both sides suffered more casualties. At that moment, everyone on the battlefield was not safe, even the top Bodhisattvas and Transmigration, because it was easy to be surrounded and ambushed. In such confusion, even if one scanned with divine senses, it might not respond in time.

Lin Jiang looked at the battlefield ahead, his gaze growing colder, and his thoughts becoming clearer. Wherever the Buddhist cultivators gathered, he ordered the Space Battleships to attack that spot, ensuring the Buddhist cultivators had no chance to gather.

"Our allied ship has been destroyed."

Half a day later, finally, a battleship couldn’t evade in time and was broken through by the Buddhist cultivators, exploding directly and creating a fireball in the dark space.

"There are still too few soldiers."

Lin Jiang shook his head; the forces from the Heavenly Court were still too small. The formation was completely disrupted by the Buddhist sect, and there weren’t enough people to protect the Space Battleships.

Space Battleships were different from people; they moved forward the fastest, withdrew a bit slower, and their side-to-side movement was even slower due to inertia. If the Buddhist cultivators used secret techniques, the battleships couldn’t compete and would be easily caught. Therefore, avoiding the ambushes of the Buddhist cultivators tested the commander’s skill, and collaboration between the battleships was necessary.

Other allied commanders were less skilled because truly skilled commanders were not allowed to retire by Blue Star; they were kept within Blue Star’s ranks.

"Ancestor, we are about to be broken through by the enemy! The Buddhist cultivators are too fast; we are about to leave the battlefield!"

"Just follow the plan."

Lin Jiang nodded. He did not disturb the commander of the Space Battleship. If the Space Battleship was breached, their plan was to self-destruct. It was better to self-destruct than be destroyed, as it could harm the enemy.

Three hundred Tao Achieving from Blue Star were also caught up in it, dragged directly into the battlefield. There was no way around it; with the current forces of Heavenly Court, they could not have a decisive advantage against the Buddhist cultivators.

"Boom"

A golden light with the swastika symbol struck Lin Jiang’s Space Mother Ship. The Space Mother Ship shook but sustained no damage. The new Space Mother Ship had specially strengthened its defenses, made from materials of various planets, turning into a brand new cultivation material. This material was far superior to those formed naturally, with a great advantage.

The Space Battleships of Blue Star maintained their staggered formation. One Space Battleship in front was caught by the enemy and self-destructed. Lin Jiang saw a Buddhist cultivator dragging a broken body trying to escape, but halfway through, he was shattered by a beam of sword light.

"The reinforcements from Tianbei Star Domain are also on the way."

Lin Jiang glanced at the time. In the blink of an eye, they had been fighting for more than two Blue Star days. According to logic, the reinforcements from Tianbei Star Domain should have arrived by now. Once they arrived, they might be able to overwhelm the Buddhist sect.

"Lin Jiang, be careful. I just received news that the reinforcements from Tianbei Star Domain may not arrive so soon."

"Is something wrong?"

"The Buddhist Sect is gathering forces in the Tianyuan Star Domain. The strength of the Buddhist Sect in the Tianyuan Star Domain is stronger than that of the Heavenly Court. Once the Buddhist Sect expands the war, the remaining forces in the Tianbei Star Domain will either hold their ground in Tianbei or support Tianyuan. Their goal is to delay this group of reinforcements."

"Has the Buddhist Sect gone mad? To involve three Star Domains for just one planet?"

Lin Jiang’s gaze sharpened; he was shocked by the Buddhist Sect. For just one planet, they are preparing for an all-out battle? If they are so powerful, why not engage in a total war involving six Star Domains?

"Now it’s all about willpower; whoever can’t bear the loss will retreat."

Cao Ying said that now their group of immortals also looked worried. The Buddhist Sect was acting recklessly, and the war was rapidly escalating. They were considering whether to join in.

This is very frightening. If you don’t join in, you will definitely lose. If you do join in and lose, it would be a devastating defeat. Not everyone can afford to lose. It’s like gambling, testing not just strength but also your character.

"It seems the only way to stop things from getting worse is to resolve the situation here quickly."

Lin Jiang said that the longer they remain in this deadlock, the more both sides will wager, and the more dangerous it becomes. Only by breaking this deadlock can they end the situation.

"The truth is like this, but I don’t want you to reveal your secret weapon. The situation with the immortals is very delicate; after fighting for a long time, only twenty or thirty immortals have died, and some are not completely dead yet. If a mortal like you has the power to challenge the immortals, no celestial being, even the Buddha, would spare you. You would be the first to die."

Cao Ying said, she knew the immortals too well; they are high and mighty, looking down on everyone. If they find out that a mortal has the power to challenge them, they would go crazy, and Lin Jiang would surely die. From the Heavenly Emperor and Buddha Master down to ordinary immortals, all would want to kill Lin Jiang.

"I know, I am not foolish."

Lin Jiang nodded; he could not use his secret weapon carelessly. He needed to think of other ways to win. If he was willing to pay a certain price, there was still a chance.
