Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 934 - 771: Let’s Forget It

Chapter 934: Chapter 771: Let’s Forget It

In the Clean-Heart Pure World, Lan Yu and Fu Youde were commanding all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, swiftly and methodically cleaning up the battlefield.

Those ownerless ’Buddha Armors’ were tossed into five Yunzhong warships, while those with masters had their ghost gods killed, and likewise, thrown into the ship’s hold.

These armors were clearly of extraordinary value, though their defensive capabilities and the enhancement for the spirits of ghost gods were only slightly stronger than their ’Black Gold Divine Armor’.

However, the precious metals used inside were several times that of the latter, surely worth ten times more than the ’Black Gold Divine Armor’.

The ’Black Gold Divine Armor’ after all, was just a simplified, cheaper version derived from the ’Lengyin Armor’ using modern smelting techniques borrowed by Leng Yurou.

But these ’Buddha Armors’ were products from the same era as the ’Lengyin Armor’.

The only issue was dealing with the Buddha Power fused into these armors.

However, since Xinyuelian had fallen, it should still be possible to refine it in the future using the ’electromagnetic furnace’ smelting method.

The Solar Furnace that Li Xuan was planning had already increased to three—no! Five of them, and he most likely did not lack for thunder electricity temporarily.

Above the pure white Buddha Palace, Li Xuan was regretfully holding a bronze gauntlet, then watched the ’Divine Conch’ soaring into the sky.

—That was a divine treasure!

It was the third divine treasure Li Xuan had seen after the Qianqiu Brush and the Book of Jinque.

The Shenwei of the Book of Jinque, even amongst divine treasures, ranked quite high and was not comparable to the Divine Conch, but after all, they were both objects of the same tier.

"This thing won’t escape," Lv Qiluo said, almost as if she could read Li Xuan’s mind. "It will follow Xinyuelian’s lingering spirit to find Luo Yan."

Li Xuan was slightly delighted, thinking there would be no problem then.

If the ’Divine Conch’ was seeking Luo Yan, then it could not escape his grasp.

After that, Li Xuan raised his hand and tossed his bronze gauntlet to ’Pioneer Divine General’ Qiu Fu, who stood beside him.

With this, all four of his high-ranking Divine Generals were equipped with powerful magical instruments containing the Rule of Extreme Heaven.

This gauntlet was named ’Hanfeng Zhanwei’.

Before the Han dynasty, gauntlets were not called gauntlets but ’wei,’ the same ’wei’ as in ’Xiaowei,’ ’Six Paths Bureau Colonel,’ and ’Marshal.’

The Rule of Extreme Heaven contained in this fake divine treasure was ’Ice Seal,’ a rather suitable fake divine treasure for Xinyuelian.

Her ’Seal’ and ’Ice Seal’ complemented each other well.

However, this fake divine treasure now belonged to his ’Pioneer Divine General’ Qiu Fu.

Just now, this person not only participated in commanding the fight but also single-handedly confronted two Arhats under Xinyuelian.

After all, he had achieved enlightenment through Martial Law, awakened to the Rule of Extreme Heaven.

Even if a large part of his True Spirit had dissipated, he was still powerful enough to suppress the revered Arhats of Buddhism.

With the ’Hanfeng Zhanwei,’ Qiu Fu’s combat strength would be no less than the other three’s.

Dongfang Liang, Lord Huang, and others who also participated in the great battle lusted after this fake divine treasure.

But they were all aware that their own merits were far from enough to exchange for ’Hanfeng Zhanwei’ from Li Xuan.

Li Xuan then began to loot at will, moving everything that could be taken from the pure white Buddha Palace onto the ship, or into the Sumi Ring he brought with him.

Though food was scarce in the Outer Taixu, it was rich in various mineral deposits.

The several warehouses of the Buddha Palace were brimming with ingots of various metals. There was also a considerable amount of Gold and Silver, but they were the least valuable.

Li Xuan hadn’t taken the time to tally up his loot; he knew time was tight and was fully committed to moving valuable items onto the ship.

Master Zhongliu always had an aloof and proud demeanor, and the nine-tailed fox Lord Tushan usually appeared frail and delicate, almost too gentle to stand a gust, yet at this moment, both transformed into diligent laborers.

Li Xuan thought to himself that it was a good thing Leng Yurou hadn’t come along, or she would definitely be ecstatic.

About a quarter of an hour later, the five Yunzhong warships were crammed full, but there remained a considerable amount of silver and copper ingots in those warehouses.

Just the weight of the silver ingots was nearly thirty million teal, and though Li Xuan was very reluctant to part with it, he had to harden his heart and leave this wealth behind.

This was because all five Yunzhong warships had already reached their load limit, and continuing to load them would sink the ships.

It was a pity that the other two warships could not be activated in the Infinite Taixu; otherwise, all the spoils of war could have been taken back to the mortal realm.

As they boarded the warships and hastened into flight, Li Xuan looked back at the rapidly receding Clean-Heart Pure World and had only one thought.

In this era, robbery truly was the fastest way to make money.

Although Li Xuan had not yet checked the seized goods, he estimated that the income from this venture would not be inferior to East Island’s, perhaps even greater.

This made his eyes flicker with a peculiar sheen as he thought that such a costless business held great potential!

After leaving the Clean-Heart Pure World, the five warships began to accelerate gradually.

They did not choose to return the same way they came, but instead followed the slingshot-like strange forces to continue ahead, planning to take a longer route back to their original starting point.

Although the distance was longer by doing so, the actual time they would use along the way would be reduced by more than seventy percent.

However, about fifteen thousand li away from leaving the Clean-Heart Pure World, Li Xuan saw a massive number of peculiar ’sailing boats’ surging towards them from the opposite direction.

At a glance, he noticed that there were as many as a thousand wood sailboats, most of which were equipped with crossbow artillery.

Lv Qiluo gazed into the distance and looked at the opposing side, "These warships should be from the nearby Mandala Heaven, part of Lord Mandala’s Taixu Fleet."

Unlike the ’Clean-Heart Pure World’, a small world with a radius of only a thousand miles, Mandala Heaven ranks among the top eight realms in size within the human lands, known as ’Heavenly Territories’.

It is said that its land spans three thousand miles in radius, containing ’water, fire, wind, thunder,’ making it a relatively complete world.

This land is home to fifteen million people, whose ruler ’Lord Mandala’ has a very close relationship with Buddhism.

Li Xuan’s face, however, was impassive as he pressed his hand on the emerald on his desk, "Signal the order! Prepare the bow electromagnetic guns to fire in unison after ten breaths, creating a pathway for the fleet. Thereafter, each ship is free to fire at will. Remember, after opening the side gun ports, the air must remain sealed! Have all Spellcasters stand by at all times."

Inside this Infinite Taixu, people without cultivation would die within a few moments.

At this time, although most of those on these five ships were of ghostly nature, with their spirit bodies protected within ’Black Gold Divine Armor.’

Nevertheless, there were over six thousand living gunners on the ships who could only stay in a sealed air environment.

Fortunately, due to Leng Yurou’s targeted reinforcements and modifications to all the gun ports on both sides, even when they were opened and the guns fired outwards, the interior could momentarily be kept sealed. With the presence of Spellcasters, safety was assured.

What Li Xuan didn’t know was that, right in front of them, on board a vast ship measuring a hundred and fifty zhang in length and breadth, which was even larger than Li Xuan’s flagship—

the prince of Mandala Heaven and the commander of the fleet, Mandala Dallas, was looking at the seven opposing ships with a suspicious gaze.

"Are these the mortal realm’s warships that destroyed your Clean-Heart Pure World, causing the fall of Xinyuelian Bodhisattva?"

Not far from him stood the subordinates of Xinyuelian, ’Pure Arhat’ and ’Colorless Arhat’.

Though Xinyuelian had perished by now, five of her six Arhats, except Nushi who commanded the battle directly, had all survived unharmed.

Li Xuan and his forces hadn’t pursued them after slaying Xinyuelian, which provided them an opportunity to escape.

Pure and Colorless encountered reinforcement forces from ’Mandala Heaven’ shortly after leaving Clean-Heart Pure World.

"Those despicable people of the mortal realm only managed to catch our Bodhisattva off guard with their schemes. In a head-on fight, they would never be a match for our Bodhisattva," said Colorless Arhat, revealing boundless hatred and rage, "I ask for the prince’s intervention to annihilate them. Surely our Buddha will praise the prince for his act of saving us from peril."

Pure Arhat also added with a resolute tone, "Prince, we are in the Infinite Taixu, where even the mightiest warriors of Extreme Heaven see a great reduction in power. Those opposite us are just seven warships.

Moreover, as I know, all the treasures accumulated by our Bodhisattva over ten thousand years are now on those mortals’ ships."

"Oh?"

Interest flashed in Mandala Dallas’s eyes, "Signal the entire army to ready crossbow arrows! And release all the speed boats."

But just at that moment, he noticed the five steel warships on the other side firing five beams of white light amidst flashes of thunder.

The electromagnetic gun shells, each the size of a human, accelerated instantly to an extreme velocity of thousands of miles per breath in this frictionless Taixu.

Wherever they passed, all the wooden warships ahead were effortlessly blasted to smithereens without any resistance!

Mandala Dallas’s flagship couldn’t evade in time and was grazed by one of the shells.

As a result, the colossal Taixu warship was instantly blown to pieces on nearly half its side.

This caused Mandala Dallas immense heartache as metals like gold and iron were easy to come by in the Outer Void.

However, large timbers used to construct the warship’s dragon bone were exceedingly rare, with only a few places in the entire Outer Void producing these large wooden dragon bones.

"Damn it!"

Anger surged within Prince Mandala at that moment, his fury burning fiercely.

"Pass on my command, all fleets prepare—" he began, intending to order preparing for close-quarters combat, directly boarding the enemy ships.

But soon after, Mandala Dallas saw those five warships opening nearly nine hundred gun ports on both sides, spitting flames in unison.

In an instant, not only were the speed boats getting close to the enemy ships torn to shreds, but the large warships at a distance weren’t spared either.

Twenty-seven warships were torn into dust by the high-velocity buckshot blasts.

Mandala Dallas involuntarily held his breath, then decisively changed his command, "Pass on my command, all fleets advance at full speed and disengage from the enemy at once! Let’s head to Clean-Heart Pure World first."

"Prince?" Colorless Arhat couldn’t help but look at Mandala Dallas in astonishment, "You intend to let them go?"

In his heart, the prince thought of these five mortal warships as unstoppable ferocious beasts. How great a toll would he have to suffer to take them down?

Not to mention, among those on the ships was someone who had slain Xinyuelian.

These so-called ’mortals’ were far too brutal.

But as for Clean-Heart Pure World—

Mandala Dallas, with his hands behind him, stared into the distance at that small world.

He estimated that the volume of those five mortal warships likely wouldn’t have allowed them to carry away too much.

So, he hoped to find some gains there to compensate for their losses in this battle.
