Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense

Chapter 369 - 367: Millennium, Tu Hongwu Returns!

Time slowly passed, and originally the various Daoist Venerables were planning to suppress the Buddha who dared to clash with the Human Race.

However, before they could take action, the Beiji Celestial Venerable approached them first.

Because he received news from the Beiji Daoist Palace and Chu Tian that the Buddhist Sect was a test left by Su Mo for the Human Race.

As long as there were no major changes in the Human Race, no one was allowed to interfere.

So, he shared this information with the various Daoist Venerables above the Nine Heavens.

The Daoist Venerables who received this information understood, but although they said they wouldn't suppress the Buddhist Sect and didn't dare to mess with it,

it didn't mean that the forces under them would act the same.

After all, it wasn't possible for the forces of the Human Race to rise up alone; some diplomacy was always necessary.

They couldn't provide help openly, but in private, there were countless alliances, apprenticeships, teachings, and setting various opportunities.

Without suppression from the Daoist Venerables and targeting by other forces, the development speed of the Buddhist Sect was quite rapid.

Relying on their Enchanting Technique and missionary methods, the Ancient Buddha's side even surpassed its original prosperity, with the emergence of six terrifying peak-level Daoist Masters.

Lamp Ancient Buddha was just one step away from entering the Realm of Daoist Venerable.

Unfortunately, entering the Daoist Venerable realm is not an easy task. One must undergo the Daoist Venerable Tribulation and engrave their Dharma upon the world.

Of course, this is just the surface. Privately, all Daoist Venerables were resisting the Dharma of the Buddhist Sect, causing Lamp Ancient Buddha to be stuck at the final step without progressing.

Currently, in Beiji Heaven, aside from the seven forces controlled by Daoist Venerables, it has basically been entirely taken over by the Buddhist Sect, showcasing the terrifying speed of their missionary work.

Even though the Human Race has now risen, they still only dare to occasionally raid the Buddhist Sect, launching small attacks from time to time.

The younger generation even led troops directly into Beiji Heaven to disrupt the Buddhist Sect's order, sabotage missionary work, and even kill members of the Buddhist Sect.

The Buddhist Sect had tried multiple times to besiege the Human Race, but every time they were about to succeed, unforeseen events would occur.

For instance, the Great Elder of the Beiji Daoist Palace would suddenly pass by and conveniently rescue the Human Race.

The Extreme Cold Ice Hall discovered a talented member of the Human Race being pursued by the Buddhist Sect and intervened to repel the Buddhist Arhat and take him as a disciple.

Even the geniuses of various major forces and sect saintesses joined the Human Race forces, assisting in resisting the Buddhist Sect.

Under these circumstances, the development speed of the Human Race increased.

We were utterly helpless against these Humans who could grow stronger quickly just by killing, even calling them demons.

Furthermore, the Demon Race in Nanming Heaven had often helped the Human Race, and many other miscellaneous races were collectively labeled as demons and monsters by the Buddhist Sect.

Most of the Buddhist Sect in Beiji Heaven were Killing Buddhas, known as Furious Vajras.

With the help of various races, although the Human Race was still at a disadvantage, they were able to give as good as they got in battles.

If the Human Race in Beiji Heaven were called demons by the Buddhist Sect and seemed a bit hypocritical, it was completely different in Great Cyan Heaven.

After all, the fierce local customs of Beiji Heaven made them indifferent to the concept of Buddhas or demons.

The Human Race didn't care either, as it was just a title.

However, in Great Cyan Heaven, the Future Buddha Maitreya led the Buddhist Sect in teaching earnestly without resorting to Enchanting Techniques, teaching the karma and Dharma of the Buddhist Sect to save all beings and was deeply loved by the people.

The attacks by the Ninja Race against them were resisted by all the populace, and the Ninja Race warriors were reluctant to kill innocents, finding themselves in a dilemma.

Although various forces in Cyan Heaven were helping the Human Race openly and secretly, especially the Insect Race,

it was precisely because of the Insect Race's aid that the Human Race found themselves in an even more awkward position.

For a time, all ordinary people thought the demons and the Insect Race were allied.

The Insect Race, unlike the Buddhist Sect, did not bother with convoluted reasoning and had a poor reputation.

After associating with them, the Human Race was naturally opposed by everyone.

The Buddhist Sect in Cyan Heaven wasn't strong; besides a commendable Maitreya Buddha who reached the peak of Daoist Master, other members had made little progress compared to the Buddhist Sect in Beiji Heaven.

Even so, it was still difficult for the Human Race to deal with them, especially when fighting on two fronts.

Moreover, the Buddhist Sect here had the people's support more than the Human Race did, with many ordinary people voluntarily backing the Buddhist Sect, making the situation tougher for the Human Race.

In a blink, 500 years passed, and the number of path-entering strongmen in the Human Race increased, even surpassing the Buddhist Sect.

However, their top-tier combat strength was still pitifully scarce, with not a single Daoist Master appearing over many years.

It's important to note that the Buddhist Sect in Beiji Heaven now boasted seven peak Daoist Masters. Although the Human Race had more path-entering practitioners, without top-level power, they couldn't do anything about the Buddhist Sect.

When time reached 1,000 years, Chu Tian, along with his master Boxing Emperor Daoist Master and several Human Race allies, arrived at the Cyan Heaven Buddhist Sect. After a great battle lasting nine days and nights, although everyone was injured, there was good news—they rescued Tu Hongwu.

But because of this event, the Human Race's reputation in Cyan Heaven grew worse, truly being regarded as demons and monsters.

Maitreya Buddha completely vanished after this battle, and even many of the temples of the Cyan Heaven Buddhist Sect were forced to close, relocate, and hide in small worlds and even Little Cosmos.

Regarding this, Chu Tian was puzzled. Back then, they called six Daoist Master candidates to besiege Maitreya Buddha for nine days and nights, but they were always at a disadvantage. Although they used some cunning plans to rescue Tu Hongwu, Maitreya Buddha wasn't even injured.

So, Chu Tian couldn't fathom why they suddenly fled.

Tu Hongwu didn't explain much, and upon returning to the Human Race, he first paid respects to Bai Yuanhao, then began understanding the current situation of the Human Race.

Three years later, Tu Hongwu once again took charge of the Human Race's battlefields, becoming a spokesperson in every sense, acknowledged by the Human Race and other races as Marshal Tu.
