Chapter 976

Mahayana Star, the Immortal Battlefield

Liang Long logged off. Liang Long’s main strength was in the wandering Soul Fragment, but each Soul Fragment weakens his power. Therefore, this Soul Fragment was not strong. After being defeated again, Liang Long naturally logged off.

Li Canghai and the others were a bit surprised because Liang Long had impressed them greatly during the cultivator stage. He was someone incredibly powerful, so why was he so weak after becoming an immortal?

The strength of an immortal is closely linked to their strength as a cultivator. Those extraordinary cultivators, even if they have just become immortals, are often stronger than some veteran immortals.

However, Li Canghai and the others did not ask more questions. They already knew that Lin Jiang was good at making plans, so perhaps this was a trap?

In fact, it wasn’t really a trap. Liang Long’s current task was to explore the Demon Domain, and he did not want to expend too much strength, so he chose to exit first.

However, Liang Long did not completely leave the battlefield. Instead, he entered the cultivator battlefield to command the fight. He possessed a robot and quickly took command of the battlefield.

After Liang Long took command of the battlefield, in less than ten minutes, the entire situation changed completely. Even though many of the Blue Star commanders tried to copy Liang Long’s style, no one could match him, especially in being calm and fierce; they could not compare to Liang Long.

The commanders of Blue Star, who were trained there, had to think about the identities of the soldiers carrying out the missions. For example, with certain missions that were certain to lead to death, should they consider the effects after those people die?

But Liang Long did not think about these things. He was not afraid of retaliation afterward; his absolute rationality made his heart harder than stone.

"First division, move left and charge in…"

"Cultivator Team Eight, where is the captain? If he is dead, then it’s up to the vice-captain. Gather your team, defend your position, and use defensive spells…"

"Cultivator Team Sixteen, move to coordinate left thirty-six. Hold there for twenty minutes, no matter how many come, hold for twenty minutes…"

"The warships of the Third Division are now charging. After ten minutes, use it…"

"Warships of the Tenth Division, prepare the Droplet Robot. Don’t worry about friendly fire; release the Droplet Robot at lower left coordinate eighteen…"

Liang Long’s voice, enhanced by machines, sounded even colder, without a trace of emotion.

The mechanical noise made the people fighting on the battlefield curse loudly because, from their point of view, they could not see the whole situation. Some orders required them to crash into the pile of Buddhist cultivators.

"I am Ye Chen. The command just given was mine. Everyone must follow the orders. Those who disobey will be punished without mercy."

Ye Chen also heard some people protesting through the communicator, and he immediately spoke more sternly to give orders. After that, there was no sound from the communicator.

Ambush, intercept, break through.

Liang Long’s attention to detail was perfect. He weakened the strength of the Buddhist cultivators bit by bit, and he did it at the lowest cost. He even managed to collect the scattered dao auras, ensuring that he gathered everything possible, as he did not want to give Li Canghai and his group any advantages.

"Liang Long, finish the battle quickly. We received news from Yinli Star that the battlefield there is in trouble."

Half an hour later, a voice reached Liang Long’s ears. Liang Long felt a rush of energy. He knew it was Lin Jiang’s true form and Main Soul. An immortal like Lin Jiang, who still had a physical body, would keep it hidden from everyone. Now it seems the body is also on Mahayana Star. Ancestor Lin truly fears nothing.

"Finish the battle within two hours. If you are willing to accept a 30% increase in casualties, you can shorten the time to under 40 minutes. What do you choose?"

"Two hours then. Once the battle is over, you can take the Space Battleship for support, but don’t move the cultivators’ forces."

"Can"

Liang Long nodded. The Space Battleship here had not lost many, and they could fight again.

········

Yinli Star

The Heavenly Court was defeated; it was a complete rout.

The remaining Space Battleships were destroyed by the Buddhist cultivators. Only a few escaped, badly wounded, leaving the battlefield.

Over here, the top cultivators of the Heavenly Court also lost. Out of twelve top Transmigration Stage cultivators, four were dead and eight were injured, with no strength left to counterattack.

On the overall battlefield, the Heavenly Court forces were already outnumbered, making the situation even worse.

So, the Heavenly Court forces retreated to Yinli Star. Yinli Star had close-range defense systems. The formations in the starry sky appeared, blocking the steps of the Buddhist cultivators, similar to a space station, with a total of eight, pouring firepower onto the Buddhist cultivators.

The withdrawn cultivators gathered again outside the defense formation, forming a battle array to stop the Buddhist cultivators.

"Taoist Friend Di"

In the space, Taoist Friend Di and others were healing their wounds. Taoist Friend Di was the first to return, and their injuries were stabilized.

"What is the situation?"

"Both Space Battleships have been destroyed, with a 70% loss of crew members. Fortunately, Ji Tianming and the other officers have returned, so regrouping later is not an issue. On the cultivator side, losses have exceeded 40%, almost half. The Tiannan Star Domain cultivators have lost their fighting spirit."

"Damn it, are they trying to escape?"

"Yes, this battle was forced by the Heavenly Court to make them fight. Mixed forces cannot fight effectively against the odds."

One person said that they actually opposed mixing the forces from the two Star Domains. The Heavenly Court thought this would bind the Tiannan Star Domain, but did not consider that such a strategy would work if it was favorable. Once the battle turned against them, how could those from the Tiannan Star Domain fight to the death for the Tianbei Star Domain?

"Send a message to the grand master and ask them to restrain the Tiannan Star Domain forces. They must not be allowed to flee."

"The message has been delivered to the Grand Master, but we do not yet know if it will work."

"Let’s form a special task force…"

"Taoist Friend Di, we absolutely cannot do that. Once the task force is formed, the relationship between both sides will immediately break down. This is the worst option. I have already sent someone to persuade them. From Tiannan to Tianbei, we rely on each other. If we are doomed, they will be doomed too, just like in the Tianyuan Star Domain."

The man was shocked and quickly stopped the action. As soon as the task force appears, it represents distrust in them, and the relationship will immediately break. They are all figures of the same sect, how could they tolerate this?

"What about Taoist Friend Gu Yang in the Tianyuan Star Domain?"

"Taoist Friend Gu Yang has died. Half of the remaining forces in the Tianyuan Star Domain are here, and half are in the Da Fo Star. There are almost none left from the Tianyuan Star Domain on Yinli Star. Taoist Friend Gu Yang was injured by Hui Ming, then ambushed by other Buddhist cultivators, and has completely fallen."

"Oh, how unfortunate."

Taoist Friend Di sighed deeply. He was quite familiar with Taoist Friend Gu Yang; he was a great talent, and he died on the battlefield.

"Taoist Friend Di, although the short-range defense system of Yinli Star is strong, it will not hold for long, and I am very worried that the Buddhist sect will divide their forces. Once they do that and destroy the teleportation array of the next planet, we might be trapped here."

"The Buddhist sect wouldn’t dare, would they?"

"Taoist Friend Di, the Tianbei Star Domain is empty now; which planets still have the power to defend? They have all joined the battle."

"When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Taoist Friend Di fell silent. The power in the Tianbei Star Domain was weak now. If the Buddhist sect divided their forces, the consequences would be terrible. The soldiers from other planets might leave early again, just like last time.

"Right now, there are no reinforcements. In the three battlefields, fighting is happening everywhere. The four northern planets of Tianbei Star Domain are attacking Mahayana Star fiercely. They have fewer numbers than Mahayana Star, but they have many more Bodhisattvas than Transmigration Stage. Da Fo Star is overwhelming, but the Buddhist sect is fighting to the death and hasn’t been able to pull back."

"Then let’s fight with all our might, everyone. The shame of the Tianbei Star Domain is not only on Taibai Star; your ancestral homes are also in great danger. If we do not win this battle, you all risk losing your homes. You know how hard it has been for Taoist Friend Gu Yang over these hundreds of years. If you don’t want to follow in Taoist Friend Gu Yang’s footsteps, then fight with me to the end!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

Taoist Friend Di’s words made everyone shout loudly. These heavily injured soldiers, after taking healing pills, returned to the battlefield. Even if they did not fight, the presence of these elders could raise everyone’s spirits.

At this moment, in the outer space of Yinli Star, the close-range defense system had already been broken through two layers, leaving three layers remaining. The weapons in low Earth orbit had also fallen silent and were undergoing emergency repairs due to firing for too long, causing a breakdown.

The main battle was a clash of formations between both sides, but Heavenly Court was still at a significant disadvantage. The number of Buddhists was greater than theirs, and they were more united. How could they compete with the enemy?

"Send a secret message to order the seed personnel of Yinli Star to retreat. After the close-range defense system is broken, lead the enemy into the inside of Yinli Star for a fierce fight."

Taoist Friend Di looked for a moment at the expensive defense system with little hope. It wasn’t that the defense system was ineffective, but that the enemy was too powerful. However, Taoist Friend Di was reluctant to retreat easily; he needed to hold firm here, fearing that if they retreated, it would turn into a rout.
