Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2251: 151: Bodhisattva (The Fish-Head Has Slept, Don't Wait)_3
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Finally, the Northern Great Bodhisattva made his move!
Lifting his hand with lightning speed, he reached through the void, attempting to seize Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King once more. However, the earthy yellow protective light of the Land-Parting Staff hindered him, making it difficult to maintain his grip.
With his free hand, he desperately grasped the Buddha Beads resting against his chest.
Yet, just as the tree desires stillness but the wind persists, the Hundred Herbs Realm—which had been dormant—seized its chance. Suddenly, the entire realm began to shudder violently!
On the surface of the Realm Membrane, savage and frenzied Demonic Beasts began to force their way through the barrier. They thrashed and roared, sending out faint, bestial cries of struggle.
Upon the binding chains, images of Arhats materialized rapidly. They circled the Hundred Herbs Realm, eyes shut as they chanted sutras. Their Buddha light radiated with magnificence to suppress whatever lay within, yet every figure wore an expression of extreme agony.
The expression of the Northern Great Bodhisattva shifted instantly!
With one hand barely restraining Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King, and the other pressing against the throbbing Buddha Beads on his chest, he struggled to maintain control. He gazed toward the Hundred Herbs Realm, his heart filled with alarm.
“How can this man still possess such power… he truly is a Mahayana Cultivator!”
“It is no wonder the Buddha Lord cautioned me so many times before I left, warning me to be wary of him!”
He had assumed his prisoner would be drained after such long confinement. Instead, it appeared the man had been hoarding his strength, waiting in silence for the perfect moment to strike.
If he didn't commit his full power now, he feared the man might actually escape!
However, looking at the cultivator still struggling in his grasp—the one holding ‘two great origins’—the Bodhisattva hesitated, his face twisted with indecision.
But the entity within the Hundred Herbs Realm did not give him time to think. The Buddha Beads shook with violence, the entire domain trembled, and thousands of Demonic Beasts howled in unison!
It was like a mighty lion waking from its slumber and shaking its mane!
The Northern Great Bodhisattva’s face paled.
He was forced to redirect every ounce of his energy toward the Buddha Beads at his chest. Over the Hundred Herbs Realm, the Buddha light flared brilliantly as the chains tightened their hold.
Meanwhile, trapped in the Bodhisattva's hand, Wang Ba noticed the chaos outside. He felt the weight of the suppression around him begin to falter.
Despite his growing exhaustion and pale face, he seized the moment to summon three more Dao Treasures!
The sharp notes of a zither rang out like the clashing of steel, vibrating with lethal intent. The sound caused the Northern Great Bodhisattva’s palm to throb with pain.
A brush moved with frenetic speed, inscribing the character for ‘break’ seven times in the air. These ink-black characters moved like dragons, joining a pale golden sword-light to strike at the Bodhisattva’s loosening grip!
In an instant, Wang Ba broke free and took flight.
The Northern Great Bodhisattva was stunned and filled with rage, but he dared not give chase. Terrified that the presence inside the Hundred Herbs Realm would break loose, he focused entirely on stabilizing the seal.
Just as he tried to exert control, an old but steady and powerful voice echoed from within the realm:
“Young friend, shatter the seal!”
Wang Ba stopped his retreat a short distance away. Hearing that commanding voice, he looked at the Northern Great Bodhisattva and the roaring Hundred Herbs Realm, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
He pulled out a Dao Treasure infused with immortal power, drawing it into his palm before striking the chains of the Hundred Herbs Realm with his sword-sheath Dao Treasure!
“You menace!”
The Northern Great Bodhisattva cried out in shock and fury!
A massive Buddha palm moved instinctively to intercept the attack, but the sword-light flickered in the void and vanished. When it reappeared, it had bypassed the Bodhisattva entirely, striking one of the chains with a silent impact.
Time seemed to freeze.
Wang Ba watched as shock, anger, and dread washed over the Northern Great Bodhisattva’s face.
He saw a chain on the Realm Membrane of the Hundred Herbs Realm pause for a heartbeat after being hit by the sword glow, only to be covered in spiderweb cracks a second later.
Simultaneously, one of the Buddha Beads on the Bodhisattva’s chest shattered.
Then, a massive boom shook the area!
An Arhat figure on the membrane flickered into view before its golden body collapsed, revealing a terrified demonic form within. The demon’s eyes went dark, and its body disintegrated instantly!
“So that’s how it works...!”
Wang Ba’s eyes darted between the beads on the Bodhisattva’s chest and the golden chains in the distance. He understood the connection. Without pausing, he fueled his sword-sheath Dao Treasure with more immortal power and unleashed a barrage of sword glows!
“This cannot be!”
Horrified, the Northern Great Bodhisattva reached out to intercept them, even catching one glow with his bare hand, causing his golden skin to crack. Despite his efforts, the remaining beams struck the chains of the Hundred Herbs Realm one after another.
More Arhats appeared briefly, only to vanish in a state of terror. On the Bodhisattva’s chest, several more Buddha Beads burst apart.
Roar!
The golden chains could no longer muffle the sounds from within. Across the surface of the Hundred Herbs Realm, a tide of Demonic Beasts surged like dark clouds, hammering against their bindings.
The chains were stretched to their breaking point!
The Arhat figures were now fully visible, their golden forms failing as dark Demonic Qi leaked out from beneath them. In moments, the holy Buddha light mixed with foul Demonic Qi, turning the lush Hundred Herbs Realm into a nightmare landscape.
The Northern Great Bodhisattva lost all his composure. Ignoring Wang Ba, he ripped the Buddha Beads from his neck, clutching them between his palms as he chanted sutras at a frantic pace.
But the breach had been made; the seal was beyond repair!
The beasts roared, but their cries were drowned out by that same calm, powerful voice from within the realm:
“Little monk… do you have any more tricks left?”
Under the terrified gaze of the Northern Great Bodhisattva, the chains on the Hundred Herbs Realm finally reached their limit and exploded into fragments!
Five hundred Arhats were sent reeling backward!
The Realm Membrane tore open, and a deluge of thousands of Demonic Beasts came pouring out like a tidal wave.
Amidst the surging beast tide, an elderly man in white robes appeared, riding the waves. He held a green jade staff and radiated an aura of transcendent peace. On the staff, the words ‘Silkworm Dragon’ were engraved in glowing script.
Wang Ba’s soul trembled as he finally realized who stood before him.
“The Realm Master of the Canlong Realm, a Mahayana Cultivator…”
“Heavenly Monarch Chao!”
