Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 934

Unknown Star Domain

More than twenty Transmigration Stage, including Lin Jiang, were fighting fiercely, really fighting fiercely.

Those bodhisattvas were in a terrible situation; under the confinement of the trapping formation, they had to use a great deal of spiritual power to counteract its effect. As the war has gone on, no one’s spiritual power was still very abundant.

Meanwhile, the outer Space Battleships were attacking crazily. Thousands of them were firing at them, hitting them with dozens of blasts every second. Even the best magical treasures could be destroyed in an instant.

Not to mention Lin Jiang and his friends attacking together, they were all ganging up on one person. It was hard for them to survive.

"Boom!"

When the last bodhisattva was defeated, the trapping formation vanished, and over a thousand Space Battleships dimmed. This was because the commander ordered most of the functions and lights to be turned off; they were about to exit the battle, completely leaving, which required a major repair, not just recharging energy.

The twenty or so Transmigration Stage silently divided the dao auras, exchanged glances with a light smile, and shared a deep understanding.

"Turn the cannons."

"Ancestor Lin, we have received news from each family. Their warships are now almost out of energy, and the machines are overloaded. They want to apply for self-destruction. Do you agree?"

Soon, a commander contacted Lin Jiang. The retired warships and exported warships could hardly continue fighting. Key parts like the cannons and energy converters were overused and severely damaged. If they kept fighting, there would be problems during the battle, so they wanted to withdraw.

However, their withdrawal means self-destruction, using the warships themselves for a final effort.

"The warships exported to each family are up to them. If they want to cooperate, they can. For the rented ones, let them self-destruct without worry. The price is negotiable, and we won’t cheat them. Just tell them to calculate it at 20% of the export price."

Lin Jiang said that Taoist Friend Da and others came to buy warships before, but Lin Jiang didn’t sell them. Later, he sold retired warships, but they didn’t buy all of them because they couldn’t afford it, so many of them were rented.

"I understand. I know what to do."

The commander quickly replied that since it would be the final battle, they needed to turn them into bait.

Soon, the life pods on the battleships ready to fight began to launch, and the commander of the Blue Star also signaled the cultivator in front to open a path.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Buddhist cultivator who had just approached the Space Battleship did not have time to attack the ship before it exploded.

The series of ship explosions taught the Buddhists a lesson, and they decided not to get too close to the battleships. They chose to deal with the cultivators first.

"Taoist Friend Ming Xin, Taoist Friend Da, you should pull everyone back behind the battleship and let it serve its final purpose."

Lin Jiang communicated with Ming Xin and the others, saying that if they wouldn’t come, he would force them to.

The old, retired battleships had stopped moving and acted as fixed fortifications. Ming Xin and the others quickly moved behind the battleship. Losing the protection of the cultivators, the Buddhist cultivators saw a new hope to destroy the battleship, but they still dared not get close and chose to attack from a distance instead.

"Our ship is ordered to destroy you!"

The robot left on the battleship watched the Buddhist cultivators charge forward for a final attack. Since the enemy did not come, it decided to approach them instead. They increased the battleship’s speed to the maximum and, after getting close to the enemy, chose to self-destruct.

One by one, the Space Battleships rushed into the enemy crowd and self-destructed, causing many to fall silent. The Space Battleship was a marvel of Blue Star’s technology, with each one built with the dedication of countless people. Normally, they treated the battleships like precious treasures, but now, they were being destroyed so easily.

The battleship’s self-destruction had some impact, but not much. After all, the Buddhist cultivators were not fools; they would not just stand there and let themselves be blown up. They could run and hide.

"Ancestor Lin, it’s time to release the Droplet Robots. Once they are used up, we will have to fight our final battle."

Someone communicated to Lin Jiang about the remaining Space Battleships of Blue Star. They were running low on resources, many of their ships were damaged, and they had one last card to play: the Droplet Robots. If the Droplet Robots were used up, they would have to self-destruct, as that would be the last move of the battleships.

"Release the Droplet Robots."

Lin Jiang nodded. Although the Space Battleships were expensive, they were not irreplaceable. With Blue Star’s manufacturing ability, if they increased production suddenly, they could be replaced in just a few years.

The Droplet Robots were a powerful weapon for Blue Star, but they were difficult to make, and not every battleship was equipped with them. The number they had brought was also small—only six hundred.

The Droplet Robots launched and quickly increased their speed to one-tenth the speed of light, then crashed into the Buddhist cultivators. The most basic charge was the only fighting method of the Droplet Robots.

"Bang"

A Buddhist practitioner was crushed instantly, and even the Droplet Robot didn’t see it.

The mind can scan the Droplet Robot, but most cannot escape; at one-tenth the speed of light, that is thirty thousand kilometers in just one second. How far apart were they?

Most Buddhist practitioners could only defend themselves, using treasures and their bodies to withstand the attack, waiting for a draw with the Droplet Robot. It was nearly impossible for them to fight to the end together.

Of course, there were extremely powerful Bodhisattvas who could not only evade the Droplet Robot but even knock it down. However, there were very few such Buddhist practitioners, no more than ten.

"Activate the Buddhist Domain to slow down the enemy."

One Buddhist practitioner was very clever and quickly identified the Droplet Robot’s weakness: activating the Buddhist Domain to reduce its speed. Without the powerful momentum from its speed, the Droplet Robot would be nothing, posing no threat at all.

"Release"

However, as those Buddhist practitioners just gathered and activated the Buddhist Domain, they were immediately hit by a round of fire from the Space Battleship, and then they were gone; the Buddhist Domain collapsed instantly.

The Droplet Robots continued to be fierce. Except for a few that were knocked down by powerful Buddhist cultivators, most of them could crash into and destroy two or three Arhats before shattering, or they could destroy a Bodhisattva before breaking apart.

There were as many as six hundred Droplet Robots.

So, it was clear to see that the number of Buddhist cultivators was rapidly decreasing, falling below the number of cultivators.

Soon, the cultivators took the chance to heal their wounds and regain their spiritual power while watching the battlefield. Most of the cultivators from Canglan Star and Beiyuan Star in the Tiannan Star Domain had already experienced the power of technological weapons and were not too surprised. However, some remaining cultivators from Tianbei Star Domain were stunned.

They had only heard about the power of technological weapons but had never seen them with their own eyes. Now that they were witnessing it, many could hardly believe it, thinking it was something unbelievable.

"I started practicing at the age of twelve and was always called a once-in-a-lifetime genius. I broke through to Nascent Soul at eighty, entered Soul Changing at two hundred, reached Void Achieving at five hundred, attained Tao at eight hundred, and finally became Transmigration at twelve hundred years old, spending countless resources. I thought I could conquer the world, but today I realize I am not as good as a machine…"

"Why should I keep cultivating? I might as well go to Blue Star to attend university and become a robot…"

"Will machines replace cultivation?"

At this moment, many people were filled with thoughts. Some reflected on their own exceptional talents and the support of their sect that allowed them to enter the Transmigration Stage. They once believed they could stand above everyone, but now they realized they could be destroyed by robots created by mere mortals. Their worldview was shattering.

Some people think that cultivating immortality is a waste of effort. They feel it is better to study for many years and then work as a robot. After that, where would they find their place in the world?

Their thoughts are the same as those warriors back when the Fire Spear appeared on Blue Star. Those warriors practiced in the freezing winter and the scorching summer. From the age of three or four, they trained their bodies for twenty or thirty years, believing they had mastered their skills and could make a name for themselves in the world. But then, a weak person killed them with a single spear. How bitter they must have felt just before they died.

"Taoist Friend Cao Ying, the technology of Blue Star lives up to its name…"

Even the immortals spoke to Cao Ying, their eyes shining with strange emotions.

Cao Ying knew what they were thinking. They were wondering if technological weapons could defeat immortals and if it would pose a threat to them.

"It’s hard to lose at this point; we’re ready to finish the battle."

Lin Jiang didn’t worry too much. Playing the fool is good, but he also needed to show some strength now and then. With Blue Star’s current size, as long as they don’t openly oppose the Heavenly Court, everything else is fine.

Given the situation now, unless something unexpected happens, the outcome is already decided. They know exactly how capable the Buddhists are; they are sure the Buddhists will lose.
