Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2343: 182: Downfall_3
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
“No one is coming to rescue you this time!”
A chill gripped Wang Ba's heart as he spotted the fierce greed blazing in the Northern Great Bodhisattva’s gaze!
Right then, the dire peril of his position hit him full force.
In the Cloud Sky Realm, four cultivators at the late-stage of tribulation-crossing, Bai Lechan among them, found themselves locked in fierce struggles with their foes. Against the Northern Great Bodhisattva, the mid-stage tribulation-crossing experts were equally trapped and helpless to break free, and even those with spare moments couldn't rush to help without risk.
Master Chao, known as Heavenly Monarch Chao, the one who had saved him once, was now locked in a massive clash beyond the realm against the seated Buddha thought to be Tianshang Buddha. Blinding radiance poured from it, obscuring the view, but it was obvious he couldn't spare any aid for a rescue…
Now, he stood isolated, confronting the Northern Great Bodhisattva by himself.
“Remember… should things get desperate, escape right away. It's not running away, but safeguarding the true opportunity.”
This line surged into Wang Ba’s thoughts at that instant.
Master Chao had shared these words with him prior to venturing beyond the realm.
Bai Lechan had also repeated this advice to him on numerous occasions.
“But…”
Wang Ba's hand instinctively clutched his sleeve, his eyes narrowing in focus.
Hidden in that sleeve, the Wu Monkey King was poised to spring forth any second, ready to ambush the Northern Great Bodhisattva as he drew near to slay him, delivering a unforgettable strike to the foe…
However, since he'd pulled this move earlier, Wang Ba truly doubted its effectiveness now.
While he pondered this.
The wild, frantic cries from beyond the realm cut off abruptly in that very moment!
It resembled a massive beast in full sprint halting dead, or a downpour vanishing without warning!
This abrupt shift from chaos to quiet brought no calm; instead, it hinted at a far more tremendous upheaval ahead, brimming with suffocating pressure that snapped everyone into heightened vigilance.
“What’s going on… beyond the realm?”
With a single palm thrust, the purple-robed youth repelled the Great Bodhisattvas Ridi and Moon Truth using nine sword pillars, then turned his serious gaze outward, a subtle dread and shadow creeping into his chest.
Yet in the direction he stared, golden brilliance filled the view, revealing nothing, clarifying naught…
He wasn't alone; Wang Ba, the Northern Great Bodhisattva, the Southern Great Bodhisattva… all the high-cultivation powerhouses present sensed the shift and peered beyond the realm, only to discern nothing clear.
Time itself appeared to hush in that instant.
Then, an unheard-of noise burst through the tension, arriving with the thunderous impact of something enormous—
Boom!!!
Beneath the stunned stares of everyone.
Fierce tremors rocked through!
Nearly simultaneously, at the realm membrane's center between two vast rifts, it buckled inward fast, as though struck by a colossal force.
This barrier, strong enough to halt mid-stage tribulation-crossing cultivators, now tore like flimsy parchment!
Rip!
A massive gash ripped across the realm membrane in a horrifying split, and a Ten Thousand Headed Lion Beast tumbled in like a lifeless hound, slamming into the earth; its protective glow faded swiftly, the terrain plunged and fractured, myriad creatures pulverized and erased…
Including even the monks among the fallen.
What disaster was this!
Wang Ba's thoughts quaked wildly at the sight!
“The beasts… Master Chao!”
And through this turmoil, a voice echoed from beyond the realm—far-reaching and immense, divine and holy, tinged with apparent grief but utterly icy—declaring:
“Xiahou Demon has fallen in battle.”
“True Man Gai has fled in defeat.”
“The Master of Quiet Cave has also fled in defeat…”
“You all schemed with utmost care, yet in the end, you cannot endure my Buddha’s true will.”
“Heavenly Monarch Chao, with no more of those beasts left, what other tricks do you possess?”
“Why not guide the billions of souls in this Cloud Sky Realm to seek shelter in the true Buddha together…”
