Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2354 186: Sparring (Part 2)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Yet this doesn't indicate that his Dao Domain lacks strength; it's merely because the top-grade Dao Treasure possesses such overwhelming might by its very nature. His comprehension of the profound rules proves equally remarkable—he simply hasn't forged it into a Dao Domain as of now.
In the past, beyond the boundaries of the Cloud Sky Realm, his Yellow Dao Domain had effortlessly quelled ten Arhats, a testament to its true potential.
Once his Dao Domain climbs to the next level, it will without doubt rival the formidable Secret Technique originating from the Silkworm Dragon Realm.
At the same time, an ever-growing throng of cultivators assembled nearby, as Qian Baimao and his companions gazed upon the intense showdown between Wang Ba and Chong Hua with utter shock and disbelief:
"Taoist Master Chonghua, why on earth is he clashing with Taoist Master Taiyi?"
"What in the world are we supposed to do now?"
"On top of that, their auras feel so overwhelming, even more intense than those of the Wonderful Feeling Realm..."
"We need to hurry and summon the other Taoist Masters to step in and stop this!"
As Qian Baimao and the rest fretted in unease, a relaxed and steady voice suddenly drifted from behind them:
"No need to fret; it's just a friendly spar."
The group caught the voice and whirled around to see.
There appeared a limping Taoist who had quietly arrived via the teleportation array in the ancient city. His eyes, much like those of Taoist Master Chonghua, gleamed with golden double pupils. He lifted his gaze toward the raging battle overhead, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.
"It's the Limp Half-Immortal!"
"Taoist Master Man!"
The cultivators showed no delay in respect, all bending low in greeting.
Taoist Man ignored the formalities, advancing instead to scrutinize the fierce exchange between Wang Ba and Chong Hua, his expression turning ever more amazed.
His stare lingered most gravely upon Wang Ba, laced with concealed wonder:
"Truly worthy of an Immortal Monarch's reincarnation... to achieve such rapid growth in so little time!"
Even with his cultivation realm diminished, his sharp perception endured, allowing him to clearly perceive that Wang Ba held back his full power in the bout against Chong Hua.
Stirred by the sight, he murmured gently:
"Friends, allow me to take part as well!"
Upon saying so, he directed a finger straight at Wang Ba!
Over his head, a lush green Dao Domain materialized without a sound, resembling a colossal ancient tree that stretched out countless barren branches and tendrils, twisting like fierce dragons as they lashed toward Wang Ba!
Chong Hua, locked in combat with Wang Ba, spotted the disturbance and let out a cold huff, showing no surprise. He conjured a crimson spear in his grasp and thrust forward at Wang Ba, silently endorsing the combined assault.
Wang Ba had long detected Taoist Man's approach; upon witnessing the strike, a hint of surprise showed on his face:
"Taoist Friend, your healing has been remarkably swift—you've already stepped back into the early stage of the Tribulation-Transcending Realm."
A light laugh escaped him then:
"In that case, let's enjoy this together."
The Yellow Dao Domain that had been shielding against Chong Hua abruptly divided; one portion kept weaving in conflict with Chong Hua, as the other softly rotated, morphing into a blazing realm akin to flowing lava, expanding toward the wooden dragon.
He handled multiple threats at once, fending off the coordinated strikes from Chong Hua and Taoist Man, but remarkably, he refrained from any Dao Domain-external methods and stayed rooted in place, displaying total composure.
The more Chong Hua and Taoist Man clashed, the greater their astonishment swelled.
Though the Yellow Dao Domain confronting them appeared unremarkable, no matter their efforts, breaching it proved nearly impossible.
Chong Hua's fighting style relied on raw force to overpower all arts, yet against the robust and unyielding Yellow Dao Domain, he felt utterly stymied.
While Taoist Man was sly and armed with diverse skills, his realm's hasty restoration left his base unsteady. Confronting the sheer dominance of the Yellow Dao Domain, he struggled just to withstand it. He might protect himself, but piercing through to endanger Wang Ba beyond the barrier was out of the question.
As the trio's savage fight raged on, mindful of the risk to nearby areas, they rapidly pulled away from the ancient city, venturing into the empty void.
Golden and scarlet hues mingled with yellow and fiery reds, alongside vibrant greens...
Before long, three additional figures touched down successively at the edges.
Observing the three-way skirmish, each revealed expressions of profound shock:
"This... could this be Crossing Tribulation?!"
"When exactly did Taoist Master Chonghua and Taoist Master Man achieve their breakthroughs?"
"And Taoist Master Taiyi..."
The breakthroughs of Taoist Master Chonghua and Taoist Master Man into the Tribulation-Transcending Realm were shocking enough, but Taoist Master Taiyi holding his own against two such powerhouses alone was downright unbelievable!
"He truly made it back from beyond!"
"He actually pulled it off!"
Clad in a pristine azure Daoist robe, Taoist Master Changying Qiao Zhongxu fixed his gaze on Wang Ba, his eyes brimming with indescribable shock and joy.
Next to him, Taoist Master Ying Yuan and Vajra Realm Master Gan Xiong were utterly absorbed in the rule shifts unveiled by the three combatants!
Bound by the Sea of Chaos Realm's governing rules, they found entry into the Tribulation-Transcending Realm blocked. Earlier generations of cultivators had racked their brains, ultimately forging a stage beyond the Unification Realm but short of full Tribulation-Transcending—the 'Wonderful Feeling Realm.'
In truth, the Wonderful Feeling Realm mirrors the Tribulation-Transcending Realm; its practitioners can sense the rules' presence and strive to seize them, albeit imperfectly.
For years, they had stalled in the Wonderful Feeling Realm, convinced no further progress lay ahead. Gan Xiong, drawing from his deep connection to the Little Cang World, had also consulted Taoist Man and gained minor advances. Yet, beholding the trio's arcane duel felt like unveiling an entirely new horizon!
The arcane duel pitting Taoist Master Man against Taoist Master Taiyi, in particular, left them spellbound!
Such an impact could never come from routine teachings.
Witnessing the three's battle intensify further, Taoist Master Changying Qiao Zhongxu reflexively clutched his Overturning Water Staff, though a moment's pause led him to release it.
Within his possession rested Tribulation-Transcending might as well, in the form of Divine Corpse Big Yellow.
Still, he oddly sensed that unleashing Divine Corpse Big Yellow would likely fall short against any of the three, serving only to embarrass himself.
