Space battleships launched a surprise attack on the Buddhist cultivators, causing significant casualties. Despite initial underestimation, the battleships proved devastating, forcing the Buddhist cultivators to adapt their strategy. As the battle raged, alliances shifted, and both sides faced escalating conflict, with the arrival of reinforcements becoming crucial.

Unknown Star Domain.

Lin Jiang first contacted the leaders of various planets who were fighting alongside Ming Xin, asking them to give him authority to command their Space Battleships.

Ming Xin and the others quickly agreed, as they realized that although they had Space Battleships, they couldn’t truly show their strength; their achievements were far behind those of Blue Star.

After gaining command, Lin Jiang immediately ordered those battleships to retreat from the battlefield to see if they could lure away some Buddhist cultivators. Regardless of whether they could succeed, they had to retreat to the unknown area set by Lin Jiang.

"Concentrate fire, kite tactics."

Lin Jiang and his advisors quickly developed a set of tactics, which they had practiced before, just now they are putting it into action.

The key point of the kite tactic is to make the enemy chase. How can we make the enemy chase? We need to focus on attacking the enemy’s leaders, targeting those powerful figures, and hitting them hard. Don’t worry about whether they get angry; if they don’t react, we will do it again.

A powerful figure had just defeated a Transmigration Stage master and was about to chase him down when suddenly, dozens of lasers focused on him. He saw a Buddhist arhat get blasted apart, making him very angry.

"Destroy those things!"

The powerful figure was furious; the Space Battleship had a high kill count, and now they had not destroyed the Space Battleship, which made him very upset.

A Buddhist cultivator who had free hands abandoned other opponents and charged at the Space Battleship, intending to destroy all of them.

"The kite tactic is showing results; retreat!"

Under the fire distraction, dozens to hundreds of Buddhist cultivators came charging in. Lin Jiang ordered the battleships to retreat.

They were at the edge of the battlefield, and with just a slight retreat, they stepped outside of it. The lively battlefield was no longer visible to the naked eye.

"Surround and destroy."

The arrival of dozens of Buddhist cultivators was enough for Lin Jiang; any more, and it would be too much to handle.

The formation of the Space Battleship reorganized, creating a half-surrounding circle. The Buddhist cultivators charged forward, and Lin Jiang ordered the other Space Battleships from different planets to fill in the gaps.

The art of war has many forms, but it always focuses on gaining advantages with greater numbers, allowing the few to battle against the many, slowly wearing down the enemy.

What does it mean for dozens of Buddhist cultivators to be surrounded by thousands of warships? It means that every second, they face more than ten attacks, continuously. No matter how they teleport or evade, they will still be hit, as there are warships specifically designated for area strikes.

With just one glance, over ten arhats were directly blown apart, and the remaining Buddhist cultivators suddenly realized they had strayed too far from the battlefield and were trapped in a surround.

Realizing the dire situation, the remaining Buddhist cultivators had no time to destroy the Space Battleships; their only priority now was to escape.

In the three-dimensional space environment, they could run in any direction. These Buddhist cultivators were all from the same planet, and they communicated perfectly with just a glance. In an instant, they scattered like fireworks, breaking through from all directions.

Lin Jiang stared blankly at the Buddhist cultivators who broke through the encirclement, trying to leave safely. That was impossible; there would surely be a bloody price to pay.

The commanders of each formation were in perfect harmony at this moment, focusing their fire on the slightly weaker Buddhist cultivators. After wave after wave of attacks, over half of the Buddhist cultivators lost their lives in the starry sky. Lin Jiang sent his people to gather the dao auras; regardless of the outcome, they could not leave empty-handed.

"Activate stealth mode and continue to draw fire."

Lin Jiang ordered. Several of the newest Space Battleships had stealth capabilities.

Stealth in technological weapons means being invisible on radar. It uses special paint to reduce reflections of electromagnetic waves, thereby lowering the chances of being detected by radar and other technologies, hence it is called stealth.

However, stealth in the Immortal Language is true invisibility. This is a high-end technology. After all, Space Battleships are very large, especially the Space Mother Ship, which is several dozen kilometers long. Making the Space Mother Ship completely invisible is a tremendous challenge. Even Blue Star does not have very mature technology in this area; only a few warships possess this capability.

These stealth technologies vanished in place, moving closer to the battlefield, while the other warships spread out. They did not want to make the encirclement too obvious, or else the fish would not take the bait.

"The stealth technology is new and still not perfect. It can fool lower-level cultivators, but it is very difficult with Bodhisattva-level ones. Fortunately, the battlefield is filled with various spiritual energy fluctuations. Unless someone pays special attention, it is hard to notice."

Several technical advisors were analyzing the new Space Battleship’s many technologies. Although these technologies had been tested, they had not been used in real combat. At this moment, they felt these technologies were not fully developed, but the battlefield situation was very complex and different.

The Space Battleship quietly approached the battlefield and opened fire on the Buddhist cultivators. Then, as it retreated, it deliberately exposed itself, allowing the Buddhist cultivators to discover it. Sure enough, one of the Buddhist cultivators was greatly alarmed and organized a chase. The fish had taken the bait.

"Do not pursue; this is a trap! Quickly eliminate those cultivators."

At that moment, a true Buddha secretly gave high-density information to the Buddhist cultivators. The true Buddha and the immortal were watching the battle from a distance, almost like they had a God’s perspective. They easily noticed Lin Jiang’s scheme. Even though the true Buddha and the immortal had an understanding and did not intervene, it did not mean they could not share information.

"Shameless!"

Seeing the hooked fish swim away, Lin Jiang was furious and cursed, knowing who was causing trouble.

"Ancestor Lin, our battleship has completed the latest sealing formation. What should we do now?"

An advisor came to ask. Inspired by the previous use of the battleship to form formations, they developed new technology using the battleship as a carrier to arrange immortal cultivation formations. It was very powerful, stronger than usual formations, though it required much more energy.

Just now, over a thousand battleships formed a sealing formation, waiting to destroy the Buddhist cultivators after they fell for the trap. But now that the Buddhist cultivators had not come, what should they do?

"You all wait here; I will lure the enemy. I refuse to believe they won’t fall for it."

Lin Jiang sneered; he had thought of a way to trick the Buddhist cultivator. Even if they knew it was a trap, they would still jump in.

Lin Jiang stepped out of the Space Mother Ship and then activated the Burning Life Secret Method, enhancing his speed as he rushed into the battlefield.

Then, Lin Jiang used the Spatiotemporal Mirror to continuously teleport while trying to seize those dao auras.

"Stop him!"

"Cut him down; don’t let him escape!"

"We must stop him!"

Sure enough, Lin Jiang had only collected a few dao auras, and the True Buddhists could no longer sit still. They had paid such a high price, not just for that Life Planet but for these dao auras. Now someone had gotten ahead of them; how could they bear it?

Lin Jiang didn’t care about that and desperately burned his life force to enhance his speed. Instead of fighting them, he moved through the battlefield, gathering those dao auras. If he didn’t grab two or three hundred of them, the True Buddhists wouldn’t feel enough pain.
