Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 954
Previously on Cultivation: Being Immortal...
Tianbei Star Domain
The power of the Buddhist sect was retreating, still preserving more than half of their strength. Previously, they had sent out seven hundred Bodhisattvas and seven thousand five hundred Arhats, which represented ninety-nine percent of the Buddhist sect’s power in Tianbei Star Domain.
After a series of battles, they lost about two hundred monks and over two thousand Arhats, yet their strength remained robust.
This is also why Bodhisattva Hui Kong believed that the Heavenly Court would not dare to fight desperately, because the Buddhist sect still had power left. The Tiannan Star Domain, without full mobilization, was not as strong as the Buddhist sect, and logically, no one would foolishly charge at them.
However, things did not develop as Hui Kong expected. The forces from the Tiannan Star Domain actually caught up, which shocked them.
"Has the Tiannan Star Domain’s sect gone mad? Do they dare to chase us with so few people?"
"Since they seek death, let them have it."
"Senior Brother Hui Kong, now they are chasing us, why not eat them?"
Several Bodhisattvas were stunned and then extremely angry. Did the Heavenly Court underestimate them? If such a small group dares to chase them, then they shouldn’t blame them for eating these people.
"Alright, eat them. If we succeed, the Taibai Star can also be captured."Hui Kong said, if they keep running like this, they will be in great trouble. It’s better to stop and fight. Even if they can’t win, they can make the opponent realize how hard it is and have a chance to retreat safely.
The Buddhist army came to a halt, and the remaining strong Buddhist cultivators began to counterattack, while some injured ones hurried to heal themselves.
"Taoist Friend Lin, the Buddhist side has counterattacked. It’s up to you now, same old tactics."
"Alright, Taoist friend rest assured."
Lin Jiang nodded, then ordered the Space Battleship to open fire and intercept.
The current commander of the Space Battleship is still Liang Long. He left a small piece of his soul here. This power is not enough for the battlefield, but it is more than enough for command.
Thousands of Space Battleships spread out, unleashing countless powerful attacks, and Liang Long immediately sent out the Droplet Robots.
The Droplet Robots have improved. They are now faster, increasing from one-eighth the speed of light to one-sixth. They are tougher, strong enough to destroy a Transmigration Stage and still take out a Tao Achieving opponent in the process.
Liang Long released one hundred Droplet Robots, charging through space. Before the Buddhas reached the enemy, some of them exploded right away. Hui Kong’s first reaction was that the Droplet Robots were deployed.
The Droplet Robot had also been studied by the Buddhas for many years, but unfortunately, they did not succeed. Even their Space Battleships only reached five or six hundredths of the speed of light, and they could not develop it.
"Break!"
As a top Bodhisattva, Hui Kong instantly shattered a Droplet Robot, showcasing incredible strength.
Unfortunately, there are fewer than ten Bodhisattvas like him; the others, even in the Bodhisattva Realm, are still not a match and can only watch helplessly as the droplet wreaks havoc.
"Where are our battleships?"
"Big brother, our battleship is finished, it’s been finished for a long time."
Hui Kong immediately thought of their own battleship, which they had spent countless resources to build. Unfortunately, their battleship was destroyed.
With nearly a ten-to-one disadvantage, the Buddhist school’s Space Battleship was completely wiped out. Although they also heavily damaged the Space Battleship of the Tianbei Star Domain, it was still a terrible defeat.
"Charge forward!"
"Spread out, don’t gather together!"
Hui Kong shouted right away. Without a battleship, their best strategy was to scatter, so that the firepower of the Space Battleship could kill at most one person with each shot, buying them time to get closer. So far, the Space Battleship still could not stop the approaching experts.
Hui Kong personally led the charge, using practical secret techniques and teleporting non-stop towards the Space Battleship. As long as he got close, just one strike with the Zen staff would destroy a Space Battleship.
"What an amazing bald monk!"
Ming’an was also shocked to see Hui Kong. This Buddhist monk was ridiculously strong; he had smashed two Droplet Robots.
"Taoist friend Ming’an, will you go or should I go?"
"I’ll go, it’s been many years since I’ve faced off with that bald donkey."
Ming’an received a notice from Lin Jiang. This bald donkey, Hui Kong, would easily die in a normal Transmigration; it would be one hit after another, so he had to go.
Ming’an is now also at the peak of the cultivators. If he wanted to, he could call down a lightning tribulation for Transmigration at any time. He is very powerful, and his gear is outstanding; everything he has is top quality.
Ming’an shot out fast and intercepted Hui Kong; both sides began a fierce battle.
But other top-tier Bodhisattvas rushed in as well. The Space Battleship couldn’t do much against them; they were too strong, and the water droplets couldn’t stop them.
"Liang Long, I leave the fleet to you. Try to hold them off and aim to defeat them within an hour."
"Understood, Ancestor Lin. It won’t be a problem."
Liang Long said, then he released two hundred water droplets. For this battle, they brought plenty of water droplets, a total of one thousand; this was just one-third of what they had, so they could take their time.
"Armor, living armor."
Lin Jiang nodded, then shouted loudly. Immediately, something like a bug crawled out from the top of his head, and it spit out a liquid that looked like crude oil, which flowed down his body.
The liquid quickly solidified, and even patterns appeared, forming a black armor.
This is the living armor that Blue Star created a few years ago, made from a special Demon Insect. They feed the Demon Insect very rare metals, and then it can spit out this liquid, which solidifies and becomes incredibly hard, similar to the top magical robes Lin Jiang wore before.
The most important part is that this armor is alive and becomes one with the bug. Even if parts of it are broken, they can be repaired by the flowing liquid. It is actually more like the liquid robot from the sci-fi movie Terminator.
However, it is not a robot; it is a specially cultivated Demon Insect. Currently, Blue Star only has three of these Demon Insects, as they are very difficult to cultivate and very expensive. The cost of one Demon Insect is about the same as that of a Space Fleet, not counting the failure rate.
This Demon Insect is useless against immortals, but among cultivators, it is a powerful weapon that ordinary cultivators cannot break.
"Kill!"
Lin Jiang put on the armor and charged forward directly.
Lin Jiang faced two top-level Bodhisattvas alone, burning his lifespan like it was free. Now Lin Jiang’s lifespan exceeded one million, he had plenty to spare, so he used it freely.
"Slaying God Spear"
Lin Jiang mainly fought with the Slaying God Spear. At his level, he had seen through many secret techniques and returned to simplicity. His strength relied mostly on understanding the power of rules, merging that power into his techniques, making the techniques themselves less important.
So Lin Jiang’s moves seemed ordinary; they were just the simplest techniques of thrusting, stabbing, and poking with the Slaying God Spear. Yet these moves forced the two top Bodhisattvas to take him seriously, for in understanding the power of rules, they were not as good as Lin Jiang.
This was actually quite normal. As high-ranking members of the Buddhist sect, they inherited the teachings of their ancestors regarding the power of rules, giving them an advantage over ordinary Bodhisattvas. Common disciples didn’t have such privileges.
But Lin Jiang was different. Cao Ying was his woman. She was afraid Lin Jiang would not learn the power of rules, so for a time, using her identity as a planetary leader, she snuggled with Lin Jiang each night to teach him closely. To make it even more advanced, they could merge their souls, helping Lin Jiang directly perceive Cao Ying’s path through their shared cultivation.
This kind of treatment was unique in the world; no other cultivator could hope for such a privilege. Which immortal would ever put so much heart into teaching their disciple?
"Boom"
After more than a hundred exchanges, Lin Jiang thrust his spear and killed a Bodhisattva, causing the Bodhisattva’s body to explode.
The last person ran away quickly. After fighting for so long, he already knew how scary Lin Jiang was.
"Okay."
Lin Jiang was very happy because, in addition to collecting the Bodhisattva’s dao auras, he also obtained over a hundred dao auras from him that they had gathered during their battle with the Tai Bai Star.
"Taoist Friend Lin, help me!"
Ming’an suddenly called for help from Lin Jiang. He was facing not just one Hui Kong; other Bodhisattvas had come to assist too, and he couldn’t hold on any longer.
"Don’t panic, Taoist Friend Ming’an, Lin Jiang is here!"
Lin Jiang laughed loudly. Through fighting with the Bodhisattvas, he had a clearer understanding of his own abilities.
Saying he was the best in the world might be a bit much, but he could confidently say he was second, and very few would dare claim the first position. Just a silly bald man, he would pay with his life.
Lin Jiang stepped forward with his spear, looking heroic. As soon as they clashed, he pushed Hui Kong back with one strike, and Hui Kong’s face changed dramatically.
"Kill him, no matter what!"
Hui Kong shouted. He thought that with Lin Jiang’s strength, if he charged into ordinary Buddhist cultivators, it would be like spearing a Bodhisattva with each attack.
So Lin Jiang must not be allowed to live; even if it costs everything, he must be stopped.
"Boom!"
A Buddhist cultivator exploded, taking Lin Jiang with him.
"Damn it, this is too much!"
At the crucial moment, Lin Jiang activated the Spatiotemporal Mirror and escaped from the heart of the explosion. His biological armor was damaged in more than a dozen places, revealing the top-level robe underneath. With the biological armor, Lin Jiang wore only three layers of the top-level robe, much less than before.
"Restore!"
Lin Jiang commanded the biological armor, and many liquids spewed out from the creature’s mouth to repair the damage. In less than a minute, Lin Jiang’s armor was as good as new, looking imposing like a black-armored God of War, with a chilling aura that hinted at deadly intent.
