Chapter 1958 - 1904–1905: The Great Battle Concludes, Heavy Losses
On this day, facing the provocation of the three great immortal sects towards the Buddhism School, the Buddhism School dispatched numerous Arhat Venerates led by Contemplating Arhat, along with countless cultivators, commandeering nearly a hundred ships with a fleet centered on several sixth-generation warships, to attack Smoke and Mist Sacred Land.
This time, the Buddhism School struck with thunderous momentum. All parties believed that the Buddhism School intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to intimidate the restless immortal sects. The immortal sects were also shocked by the Buddhism School’s ability to dispatch such a powerful fleet, believing that Smoke and Mist Sacred Land had no escape this time.
Unexpectedly, the Heterodox Alliance suddenly intervened, uniting with the fleets of the three great immortal sects, forming a fleet of over a hundred warships, hunting with the strong ones of Buddhism in the Chaos Void.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, causing the void to shake. Just as the Buddhism School appeared to be at a disadvantage, a Buddhist Bodhisattva of Great Momentum appeared, and with a wave of his hand, annihilated the coalition warships and strong ones, breaking the rule of Taoist Monarchs not to bully True Immortals.
One might have thought that the appearance of a Taoist Monarch strongman would determine the outcome, but unexpectedly, a Taoist Monarch of Divine Skill Miaoji appeared, intercepting the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Great Momentum.
Additionally, Lord Chong’en and Daoist Chong Ying obstructed outside the Buddhism School to delay the intervention of the Buddhist Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
Ultimately, the battle ended with a crushing defeat for the Buddhism Alliance. The Heterodox Alliance and the three great immortal sects jointly destroyed over thirty Buddhist warships, damaged over twenty, and captured over ten, finally retreating with Contemplating Arhat under the protection of the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Great Momentum with the remaining forty-plus warships.
The Buddhism School returned in defeat, suffering heavy losses. Nearly half of the powerful warships were damaged. Fortunately, the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Great Momentum preserved many strong ones in the Buddhism School’s fleet, giving it an opportunity to rebuild.
However, although the Heterodox Alliance and the three great immortal sects were victorious, they also suffered significant losses and retreated respectively, and the internal conflict within the Buddhism School temporarily subsided.
This battle, being the first large-scale chaotic conflict with over two hundred warships, made countless strong individuals and forces realize the terror of these warships and the fearsome power of Taoist Monarchs.
