Chapter 977

Yinli Star

The close-range defense system of Yinli Star was down to its last layer, and a feeling of pessimism spread among the cultivators of Heavenly Court. Over the past few centuries, the Tianbei Star Domain had developed greatly, and its strength had increased significantly, which made many cultivators feel confident.

But when the Buddhists truly came to attack, the overwhelming number of Buddhist cultivators struck them hard.

The forces inside Yinli Star began a large-scale retreat, with groups of cultivators rushing toward the base where the cross-domain teleportation array was located.

"Taoist Friend Tang, please make them stop. The battle at Mahayana Star has ended, and the Space Battleship from Mahayana Star is on its way to Yinli Star. We cannot occupy the teleportation array."

Taoist Friend Di found the Transmigration Stage on Yinli Star and shouted to him that this was the news he had just received.

"Taoist Friend Di, how many people are coming from Mahayana Star?"

"Thousands of Space Battleships."

"Are there no cultivators besides the Space Battleships?"

"No, Mahayana Star also suffered heavy losses."

"Then I cannot allow that, Taoist Friend Di."

Taoist Friend Tang said coldly, if there are only Space Battleships and no cultivators, he does not believe they can win against the current Buddhist cultivators, who are simply too strong.

Weighing the pros and cons, he thought that taking away the people and resources from Yinli Star was the most important matter, one that concerned his interests. As long as the people and resources were still there, they still had hope; otherwise, even if they won, if their people were all dead and their resources were stolen, what would be the use?

"Tang He, you are making a mistake. We haven’t lost yet. Thousands of Space Battleships are more powerful than a few Transmigration Stages."

Taoist Friend Di was very angry and shouted. The Space Battleships of the Buddhist sect have all been used up. Now, with one Space Battleship joining the fight, our chances of winning are very high.

"Taoist Friend Di, Space Battleships also need cultivators to assist. Look at how many cultivators can still fight and how many are willing to fight. Will the cultivators of the Tiannan Star Domain fight to the death for us?"

"You…"

"Please save some strength for my Yinli Star. We have already lost enough people."

"If we lose the war, we will have nothing left."

"We will not lose. It doesn’t matter if we delay a little longer, Taoist Friend Di. I still have a hidden card to play. You should ask your ancestor for help and bring in more reinforcements."

Tang He shook his head and remained calm, leaving Taoist Friend Di confused. He didn’t know what hidden card Tang He still had up his sleeve.

Tang He refused to speak, and Taoist Friend Di had no choice. He couldn’t order a stop, as giving that order would spark internal conflict, leaving their whole group without hope.

"Boom"

Half an hour later, the last line of defense at Yinli Star was broken, and the cultivators retreated into the Yinli Star. A dozen near-Earth platforms rushed towards the Buddhist cultivators, making one last effort.

"Senior Brother, cut off the cross-border teleportation array; these cultivators are like fish in a barrel."

"Senior Brother Hui Ming, I volunteer to go and destroy the cross-border teleportation array."

"Good, you all go."

Hui Ming nodded. There were still many cultivators at Yinli Star, but there were even more from the Buddhist sect. If they could defeat them, Heavenly Court would have lost half of its main force in the two major Star Domains.

In this big gamble, he felt he would win, just like before, he would win.

"Protect the teleportation array."

"Protect the teleportation array."

The first to be affected was the teleportation array. The people on Yinli Star fought hard to protect the teleportation array, but Taoist Friend Di discovered that some with the title of Tao Achieving, and even those at the Transmigration Stage, who claimed to protect the teleportation array, actually rushed into it and became deserters.

"Taoist Friend Tang, where is your secret weapon? If you don’t use it now, we will be finished."

"Don’t worry, the secret weapon is coming."

Taoist Friend Tang replied, then pointed to the sky. Taoist Friend Di looked up and, after a moment, his face changed greatly.

········

"The cross-world teleportation array is blocked, and Yinli Star seems to be collapsing. Oh no!"

On Mahayana Star, Ye Chen received news from the fleet in front and immediately began to curse loudly.

Four hours ago, the battle on Mahayana Star ended. Following Lin Jiang’s orders, Ye Chen immediately sent the Space Battleship to support Yinli Star because the direct teleportation array from Mahayana Star to Yinli Star was not finished yet and needed three stops.

However, when the Space Battleship reached the last stop, it did not get a signal from the cross-world teleportation array on Yinli Star, which meant the teleportation array was blocked and there was a traffic jam.

How can Ye Chen not be angry? The battle just ended, and he even refused the repair request for the Space Battleship, making them fix it on the way. But this is the result?

"Ancestor, what should we do now?"

"Let the Space Battleship wait right there. There is no need to rush to Yinli Star. Repair, recharge, prepare for battle, and also get ready for a retreat. Let everyone improve communication and see what is really happening."

"Yes, Ancestor."

"Also send a message to Da Fo Star to see when they will finish their battle."

Ye Chen kept giving orders; he had already realized that the situation at Yinli Star was not good.

"Ancestor Lin."

"Ancestor Lin."

While speaking, Lin Jiang appeared, and everyone bowed.

"How are the casualties? What is the situation?"

"The casualties are not too bad; fewer than two hundred have fallen, while the Buddhist cultivators were completely wiped out. The situation on the battlefield is unclear, and the news from Yinli Star has been cut off. The last message was that Yinli Star’s short-range defense system was broken, which means they were likely attacked. Friend Di and the others have been defeated."

"Defeat is normal; the Tianyuan Star Domain has put forth all its effort to attack. With such a large military force, they could not hold it back."

Lin Jiang nodded. The military force on Yinli Star was less than half of that of the Buddhist sect. Given the difference in strength, defeat was quite expected.

"Ancestor Lin, the power of the four stars of the Buddhist sect is almost gone. If we take them all at once, we can add four planets to our territory. Many of us are waiting for Transmigration."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "In this battle, everyone has come out in full force. Now, the four stars of the Buddhist sect have very little power left, and taking them would be easy."

"If we show ourselves now, it would be like looking for death. The real Buddhas of the four stars of the Buddhist sect have already gone to Da Fo Star and are still entangled there. It is hard to say whether this battle is the great calamity of the Heavenly Court or the great calamity of the Buddhist sect."

Lin Jiang shook his head. He certainly coveted those planets; many people are waiting for Transmigration on Blue Star, including Zhu Bin, with at least ten individuals who have been at the Transmigration Stage for many years.

However, the situation is unclear now. If they step out, they could easily be attacked, and their family would not be able to withstand the full force of the Buddhist sect’s assault.

"If we miss this opportunity, it would be a great loss, Ancestor. It will be hard to expand in the future since there aren’t many life planets left."

"I know. Get ready. If we are to take action, let’s take the nearest Foyin Star. Don’t touch the others. We, Blue Star, have made enough noise over the years; we shouldn’t draw too much attention."

"Yes, Ancestor."

"Remember, without my command, do not act. We must wait until the situation is clear before we take any action."

Lin Jiang said that at the cultivator level, Blue Star was indeed strong enough to compete with any power. However, they were still not strong enough at the immortal level. It all depends on how much benefit they can gain from this battle. In the previous battle at Mahayana Star, Lin Jiang secretly absorbed over twenty dao auras, and now his main spiritual force is still at Da Fo Star.
