Chapter 982: Third Party Forces

Unknown Star Domain

The Buddha Master and the Heavenly Emperor sat facing each other. Both of their dharma bodies were immense, looking like celestial bodies, very terrifying.

The two did not fight; they just sat there and did not speak, as if they had been there since time immemorial.

Until a powerful presence emerged, a black mist spread, eventually transforming into a human shape. This person was the Demon Lord.

"Hehe, what are you two doing? Sunbathing?"

The Demon Lord saw the two and said with a smile, sitting down beside them.

"Waiting for you."

"Hehe, you two aren’t working together, are you? That makes me very worried, you know?"

The Demon Lord replied, of course, he couldn’t believe that the Buddha Master and the Heavenly Emperor could work together. If he weren’t there as an outsider, they might have already been fighting, and it would be a life-and-death struggle.

"Wait for one more person, then it will be three against one, and we will beat you."

The Heavenly Emperor had a cold attitude towards the Demon Lord and said coldly.

"You mean the Dragon Ancestor? We are good friends, unlike you, who thinks about hitting people every day."

"Hmph."

The Heavenly Emperor fell silent. The demon race indeed has a closer relationship with the demon race because they were very weak before. The six great Star Domains under the Heavenly Court used to be the territory of the demon race, but it was taken over by the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect. The demon race was completely driven out of the six great Star Domains.

Later, the demon race joined forces with the demon race to avoid being swallowed by the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect; otherwise, the demon race might have vanished altogether.

When the Demon Lord saw that the Heavenly Emperor had stopped speaking, he also closed his mouth. After a long while, a five-clawed golden dragon appeared. Its huge body looked very majestic, at least tens of thousands of miles long. Its cold scales seemed to radiate fierce intent.

"Dragon Ancestor, come here."

The Demon Lord saw the five-clawed golden dragon and greeted it with a cheerful smile.

The Dragon Ancestor did not really sit next to the Demon Lord, but they were close enough to clearly show they were on the same side.

The Dragon Ancestor is the leader of the demon race, known as the Demon Ancestor by the Heavenly Court, but the demon race prefers to call it the Dragon Ancestor, which sounds more powerful.

"Dragon Ancestor, do you know what those two old fellows are doing? They’ve been sitting at the junction of our four forces for a long time, scaring my children so much that they don’t dare to go outside. It’s such bad luck!"

"The old bones of the Heavenly Court and the bald heads of the Buddhist Sect are fighting for territory. Thousands of cultivators have died, and there have been over a hundred deaths among the Immortals and True Buddhists combined."

"So that’s how it is, doesn’t this give us an opportunity?"

"Yes, it gives us a chance. Let’s go all in and take down those two fools."

Dragon Ancestor said angrily. Back then, the six Great Star Domains were balanced, but he was driven out by a joint effort from the Buddhist sect and Heavenly Court. He does not know how many demon races died because of it, which makes him hold a grudge to this day.

"Heavenly Emperor, how about you wait a moment? I’ll go back and call for people to join the fun?"

Demon Lord said to Heavenly Emperor. He truly wanted to join the battle. Although the universe is vast and endless, in theory, it is an inexhaustible treasure, the problem is that finding life planets is really too difficult. It may take hundreds or thousands of years to find one, and it’s all about luck.

And Demon Lord’s level of power has not completely detached from basic materials and resources, so life planets are their main focus of competition.

Now that Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect are in a fierce battle, he wants to get a share of the pie.

"You can go and call for people."

Heavenly Emperor said coldly. Right now, only three Great Star Domains are involved, and three more Star Domains have not yet moved. The real military strength that Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect have put into the fight is actually less than half.

"You old fool, your heart is so wicked, always using schemes and tricks. I won’t fall for it!"

"Demon Lord, the Heavenly Court is now very powerful. They have a planet under their command that has developed technology. With the body of a mortal, they can rise to the heavens and dive into the earth, creating weapons that sweep across the stars, combining with the cultivation system, making even the Buddha sect flee in panic. The Heavenly Court is about to rise greatly."

"Technology, mortals?"

The Demon Lord didn’t understand anything about technology and looked a little confused.

"Technology is not a new thing. It’s simply taking weapon crafting to its extreme, creating all things with the means of mortals. Both of our commands had such life planets, but we destroyed them."

"Is that really true?"

The Demon Lord was even more confused. Did his life planets have such things?

"Dragon Ancestor, you understand a lot, huh?"

The Heavenly Emperor was a bit angry. The Heavenly Court had some Demon Immortals, and many immortals had a habit of keeping pets. After all, during the cultivator stage, spirit pets were a great help, so when those immortals ascended, their pets ascended with them.

The Heavenly Court shows great tolerance in this matter. As long as they respect the Heavenly Emperor as their leader, the Heavenly Emperor will not mind too much. However, it seems that the Demon Immortal and the Dragon Ancestor have conspired together and leaked the Heavenly Emperor’s secrets.

"Yes, I understand. Aren’t you very angry? Should we go back and destroy those traitors of the demon race?"

The Dragon Ancestor snorted coldly. He also wished for the Heavenly Emperor to eliminate the Demon Immortal because, years ago, the downfall of the demon race was caused by the rebellion of the Demon Immortal. Destroying the Demon Immortal would weaken the Heavenly Court since there must be at least dozens of them.

"Hmph."

The Heavenly Emperor snorted again and fell silent.

In this action, he did not plan to go to war with the demon race. The purpose of coming here was only to ensure that a third party would not interfere, leaving the opportunity for the Buddha and the Heavenly Court to compete against each other. How they fight among themselves does not matter, but externally, their stance remains consistent.

The Dragon Ancestor and the Demon Lord exchanged glances, knowing that it was not wise to take advantage of this situation, so it was enough to just speak lightly. True action was absolutely not allowed.

Yinli Star, Star Domain

"Bang"

The Stone Emperor was knocked away by Hui Ming’s Zen staff, and Hui Ming stubbornly chased after him.

However, halfway there, an electromagnetic cannon was fired at him. Hui Ming braced himself, but seeing the shining laser at the cannon’s mouth, he gave up and had to dodge.

"Stone Emperor, how are you?"

Liang Long’s voice came through, sounding quite worried. Hui Ming was getting stronger with each battle; it was really unbelievable.

"I’m fine."

The Stone Emperor just shook his head, took to the air again, and continued to battle Hui Ming.

The Stone Emperor and Hui Ming had fought hundreds of rounds. The Stone Emperor was not a match for Hui Ming, yet Hui Ming also had no way to defeat him. The Stone Monster clan is known for their tough skin and thick flesh. He had been knocked away by Hui Ming countless times, yet he was still completely fine, not even suffering a minor injury.

"Roar"

Three minutes later, the Stone Emperor was knocked away again and crashed into a meteor belt of a certain planet.

Moments later, an even larger stone giant appeared; it was the Stone Emperor who had brought out the meteors from that planet, turning into an enormous stone figure several thousand meters tall.

"Come again!"

The Stone Emperor roared, and Hui Ming was nearly driven mad. As a top master of the Bodhisattva Realm, he was the main force in this battle. Without the Stone Emperor holding him back, he could easily defeat at least ten Transmigration Stage opponents, but now he was tangled up with the Stone Emperor.

"It seems the Stone Emperor won’t die anytime soon; silicon-based life is truly impressive."

Liang Long smiled; he had once thought about studying a Stone Monster clan because Stone Monsters are typical silicon-based life forms. They are very different from human and demon races. The only reason they are not considered a separate race is that there are too few Stone Monsters.

However, Lin Jiang stopped him at that time, claiming that it was important to respect the Stone Monster clan. Otherwise, Liang Long believed it could greatly help the technology of Blue Star.

Liang Long’s gaze was fixed in the distance where Ye Chen and others were engaging with other top Bodhisattvas from the Buddhist sect. They were already gaining the upper hand. Just one piece of biological armor was enough to make them look down upon most cultivators. This was the pearl of Blue Star’s industry, the pinnacle of technology.

"In this battle, we will not lose."

Liang Long also made a judgment that this battle might be a tragic victory, but they would not lose.
