Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 871

Lingjing Star, Star Domain

Nearly sixty people joined the battle with Ming’an, greatly relieving the pressure on Lin Jiang and others, but they still could not change the outcome of the battle; their numbers were still too few.

The true Buddhists of the Buddhist sect had not yet joined the fight. They were proud and, unless forced, looked down on having to personally eliminate mere ants, especially since the Buddhist sect currently had the advantage.

As for the casualties on the Buddhist side, they did not care much; after all, some people die, right? It’s just right—now they have some good nourishment. If you can still die when you have the advantage, you can only say your connection with the true Buddha is not strong enough.

The war was still fiercely ongoing. Liang Long had lost all his mobile forces, which were all thrown into the battle. Twenty Space Fleets were caught in tough fighting, and one by one, the warships either self-destructed or were blasted apart. All you could see were escape pods, used by low-level cultivators; those with higher cultivation were already fighting desperately.

The number of cultivators on Lingjing Star was still fewer than that of the Buddhist sect, but a vast army of robots had already been deployed, swarming around the battlefield like bees.

"Sir, the mother ship has been damaged by over ten percent, it can’t hold on much longer!"

Someone shouted in Liang Long’s flagship, their Space Mother Ship had also come under attack from the enemy; the outer protective robots were almost all destroyed, and the Space Mother Ship had begun to suffer damage.

"You all go prepare the escape pod and set the escape direction to the west of the star."

Liang Long said faintly. At that moment, the planet where the teleportation array was located was directly west of the star; the reference points were set by themselves."Sir, what about you?"

"I am Tao Achieving; what do you think?"

"Sir…"

"Stop talking nonsense. You have less than fifteen percent damage; your time is short. You are all skilled commanders, and the country has trained you with great care. Don’t throw your lives away easily; protect yourselves."

Liang Long waved his hand and spoke. He was not a narrow-minded person. After several battles, his command style had influenced the officers around him. These people had followed him for many years, and their commanding skills were already quite good. With practical experience, they were valuable talents to keep.

A group of people glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, but still ran toward the escape pod. If they didn’t leave now, there would be no hope left.

Liang Long didn’t concern himself with that; he revoked some of the robot’s authorizations, fully focused, and commanded the situation alone. As for the attacks outside the warship, Liang Long pretended he didn’t see them.

"Hey, I just took down another arhat, it feels great!"

Liang Long chuckled, as on the big screen, another arhat was blown to pieces. It cost him over a dozen robots, but he still felt very pleased.

That was an arhat, a nearly top figure in the cultivation world, and to see them die like ants in his hands felt really good.

"Boom!"

The Space Mother Ship was blasted open with a big hole, and some defense robots rushed in, but soon, almost all of them were destroyed.

A Buddhist cultivator charged in, saw Liang Long at the command center, grinned wickedly, and then swung a knife. The terrifying energy of the knife tore through the hallway, aiming directly at Liang Long.

Liang Long turned around and struck out with his palm, extinguishing the knife’s energy. This stunned the Buddhist cultivator for a moment; then, in fear, he tried to escape, but it was too late. Liang Long instantly appeared at his side and, in the midst of his terrified gaze, grabbed his arm. The Buddhist cultivator’s life force quickly drained away, and in just a few seconds, he became a lifeless husk.

"Looks like I need to take action myself."

"I haven’t fought in a long time; my legend on the battlefield has faded. I wonder if anyone still remembers me."

Liang Long slowly put on a magical robe and looked at the battlefield. He hadn’t fought in a long time and wondered if anyone remembered his past glory, for he was a fierce warrior who had once defeated more than ten cultivators of the same level.

"Die."

Another Buddhist cultivator entered from a hole, and Liang Long simply swung his sword, unleashing a terrifying blade that instantly defeated his opponent.

Then Liang Long stepped out of the Space Mother Ship and charged into the group of Buddhist cultivators. He fought fiercely, without thinking of defense, or rather, his defensive posture was simply to keep attacking. He unleashed his full power with each move, leaving defense to his strongest magical robe and his strong body.

Liang Long seemed to transform into a blade of energy, moving across the battlefield. Any Buddhist cultivator who confronted him shattered instantly, even those of the same level.

Because of this, Liang Long was quickly noticed by a Buddhist cultivator from the Bodhisattva Realm. One of the cultivators struck out with a palm print that hit Liang Long, revealing his figure and the shredded magical robe, exposing his muscular body.

"I am invincible below immortals; above, it’s one for one."

"Today, I will eradicate Buddhism."

Liang Long suddenly let out a loud roar that echoed for miles, and then he howled again, charging at the Bodhisattva who had injured him.

Liang Long’s attack was extremely fierce, striking again and again without caring for his defense, as if he wanted to perish together with his opponent. The Bodhisattva’s face was dark as he faced Liang Long, and after more than ten exchanges, he surprisingly had not defeated Liang Long.

Liang Long continued to attack without minding his injuries. At that moment, his wounds were not serious because Liang Long had also trained his body and deciphered the techniques of the Buddhist school, making his body very strong.

After one hundred exchanges, Liang Long had fought back and forth with the Bodhisattva, with both sides adding wounds to each other.

After two hundred exchanges, the Bodhisattva’s golden blood had flowed all over his body, and several terrifying gashes were on him, while Liang Long looked as good as new—he wasn’t uninjured; it was just that his injuries had healed completely.

After three hundred exchanges, the Bodhisattva’s eyes became filled with fear. He had clearly dealt heavy blows to Liang Long several times, yet Liang Long was still lively, and in the end, the Bodhisattva chose to escape.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Liang Long shouted loudly, and his body exploded into a mist of blood, chasing after the Bodhisattva. The blood mist enveloped the Bodhisattva, who let out a terrible scream.

The surrounding blood and cultivators quickly moved away, clearing a space for their battle, but in the grand scheme of the entire battlefield, this was insignificant. At that moment, the battlefield spread over a radius of millions of kilometers, with bodies and debris floating everywhere.

Everyone was fighting desperately. Lin Jiang saw the Demon Queen; she had transformed into her true form, her enormous body with several holes in it, and demon blood was flowing. The shell of the Shenwu Demon Emperor had cracked, the Fire Scale Demon Emperor’s Qilin flame was almost extinguished, while Cao Ying unleashed a sky full of thunder, her face pale with terror.

Lin Jiang was not in a better situation. He had lost three of his arms and was left with only three hands. His mouth was full of healing pills.

"We’ve earned enough; let’s die together."

Lin Jiang saw Shiyi’s angry shout. With his body in pieces, he had no time to change parts. He decisively exploded himself, as there was a lot of nuclear fuel inside him, taking three arhats down with him.

Zheng Yi also saw this scene. His expression was complex. His steel body was on the same level as Shiyi’s, and he was currently being attacked by others, but he did not want to die yet.

"Blue Star Liang Long is here; who dares to fight me?"

Suddenly, Liang Long’s voice rang out. Even in space, his voice was clear, breaking through the limits of the environment, and the energy around him surged wildly. He had broken through in battle once again.

Liang Long is the first new generation Tao Achiever of Blue Star and is now the first in the Transmigration Stage, and the youngest as well. He might also be the strongest. He had just killed a bodhisattva equivalent to the Transmigration Stage while in the Tao Achieving Realm. Such a feat has only been achieved by Green Emperor in Blue Star’s history.

Liang Long’s eruption brought a slight boost in morale to Lingjing Star’s side, but the Buddhist cultivators looked unhappy. Without needing any true Buddha to give orders, several bodhisattvas charged at Liang Long.

"Immortal, Buddha, Demon, they are all the same."

Liang Long faced the incoming Buddhist cultivator and said coldly, at that moment, it seemed he had grasped the true essence of cultivation; immortals, Buddhas, and demons were nothing more than trifles.

Liang Long put away his treasured sword and faced the Bodhisattva with bare hands, his presence extremely bold, with each punch and palm containing immense power.

At the same time, countless eyes in the Star Domain were watching this battlefield. They had been watching since the beginning, seeing the majesty of the Space Battleship, the mystery of Liang Long, and the united strength of Blue Star, all of which amazed them.

"Brother, Xia Qingshan can’t hold on much longer, and Lingjing Star is almost out of living beings, it’s time."

A voice echoed in the darkness; Xia Qingshan had sacrificed the lives of many beings from Lingjing Star several times already. He started with rural areas, then small cities, medium cities, and now only a few large cities remained standing. The accumulation of hundreds of years on Lingjing Star had turned to ashes.

"Okay."

Li Canghai nodded; it was their time to step in. They had arrived long ago, but they would only act when Lingjing Star was in danger, to show their importance, and now was that moment.
