Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2053 - 1089: Recruitment

Though the abrupt assault from the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong left Meng Qi a tad unprepared.

Yet the final result proved to be utterly flawless without question.

Not just did Gu Xiaosang take Maitreya's position, Meng Qi also claimed the illusory Dao Fruit belonging to Ran Deng!

Ran Deng stands out as a remarkable figure even amidst the Creation, and he would have reached the Other Shore ages ago had it not been for missing the Cause of All Fruits.

Suddenly receiving such an immense boon, even Meng Qi sensed a touch of bewilderment.

Furthermore, the prior moves by the four mighty Other Shores—Green Emperor, Fu Huang, Human Emperor, and Ancient Buddha Bodhi—clashing against one another created this extraordinary circumstance!

This sparked a subtle epiphany deep within Meng Qi's mind.

"The clash between Tianyi holds the utmost importance; all else amounts to mere minor matters..."

Any single one of those four intervening Tianyi could have flipped the entire scenario if overlooked!

Nevertheless, right then, Meng Qi felt an abrupt intuition, as a force echoing his own welled up from Lingshan's direction!

"While the Other Shores’ Tianyi kept each other in check, another seized the chance to act once more..."

Meng Qi's gaze flickered briefly, bringing a flash of insight.

"Demon Buddha!"

Someone had exploited the moment to shatter the Demon Buddha's seal and set him loose!

Even after countless years, the seal binding the Demon Buddha had developed flaws, letting him subtly manipulate things from afar through his cunning.

Yet breaking it so effortlessly suggests the culprit possesses considerable power.

"It's Lu Ya."

Tao Yu's voice transmitted over; by now, the Earthly Buddha Country had fallen under Gu Xiaosang’s control while serving as a subordinate to the Human Dao Dynasty.

"Lu Ya aided the Demon Buddha in escaping..."

Though Meng Qi had severed ties with the Demon Buddha upon attaining his Dharma Body.

Given Meng Qi’s unique standing, he and the Demon Buddha stood inherently at odds; Meng Qi's presence barred the Demon Buddha from true completion and might even cause his decline.

Thus, the Demon Buddha’s survival guaranteed conflict with Meng Qi!

Despite appearances that the Demon Buddha lacks Tianyi allies.

The Demon Clan resists him, the Heavenly Emperor rejects him, the Buddhist Sect opposes him, yet for Tianyi, alliances hinge on benefits.

With the Human Dao Dynasty displaying such dominant might—partnered with the Green Emperor, linked to the Demon Clan, commanding heavens and issuing amnesties—the Buddhist Sect now grows complicated due to Gu Xiaosang’s role.

But exactly for this reason, the Human Dao Dynasty's supremacy has peaked, and introducing a wildcard like the Demon Buddha could satisfy numerous Tianyi interests!

Otherwise, only four Tianyi would not have stepped in.

The Demon Buddha appears aware of his unpopularity; right after liberation, he sought to flee toward the Nine Nether.

Aiming to attune himself with the Nine Nether!

Should the Demon Buddha truly consume the Nine Nether, amid the Endtimes, he could embody the era's ruin, receiving even greater boosts.

However, the Nine Nether's evil demons obviously refuse.

Be it Bodhi’s Three Corpses, Yang Jian, or the Nine Nether natives, all showed enmity toward the Demon Buddha.

Plus the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong's involvement, the freshly released Demon Buddha faces no easy paths forward.

"As Endtimes draw near, the Nine Nether requires its rightful ruler to endure; do not let outsiders stir you up."

The Demon Buddha exuded a serene zen vibe, his "outsiders" plainly meaning the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong.

"That's preferable to getting swallowed by you."

Emperor Fengdu scoffed; having worked with the Demon Buddha on the Six Paths, he knew his tricks well and his possession of the Reincarnation Seal, so he stayed highly wary.

"I believe you will come to see it in time..."

The Demon Buddha opted against pressing the issue.

In his present state, clashing outright with the Nine Nether's pseudo Tianyi might invite betrayal from behind, risking complete annihilation.

Endtimes cannot be halted, and thus time favors me!

Following a brief standoff, prior to Tao Yu’s conflict resolving, the Demon Buddha shielded Lu Ya and vanished, showing no desire to alter things immediately.

The moment wasn't right...

...

"The Demon Buddha truly still desires the Nine Nether..."

Having intercepted the Buddha Hand from Ancient Buddha Bodhi, Tao Yu observed the clash between the Demon Buddha and the Nine Nether via the viewpoints of the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong.

This truly counts as an Other Shore being whose core interests clash fundamentally with my own.

The Dao Fruit might be overlooked, yet the Nine Nether must not be relinquished.

"Thankfully, the prior preparations by the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong spared us considerable hassle."

Tao Yu shifted his attention to Meng Qi, now back within the Human Dao Dynasty.

With Demon Buddha's rise, escaping the Human Dao Dynasty’s domain won’t be straightforward for Meng Qi!

That said, he has just secured Ran Deng’s illusory Dao Fruit, perfectly matching the Cause of All Fruits for rapid assimilation.

In theory, fully absorbing Ran Deng’s illusory Dao Fruit would grant Meng Qi a shot at attaining Other Shore Dao!

Right then, Meng Qi caught sight of Tao Yu and felt a surge of emotion.

"The turn of events was so abrupt; it leaves one somewhat bewildered."

Meng Qi originally possessed the Dao Tree sapling along with Donghuang Taiyi’s leftover Dao Fruit.

Those two formed the basis of his initial scheme for reaching the Other Shore.

Yet acquiring Ran Deng’s illusory Dao Fruit so unexpectedly made everything align even better.

"Backed by The Three Pure Ones, their profound techniques mean no lucky break should shock you."

Tao Yu pulled his eyes from the Nine Nether before commenting.

"Plus, no need to fret over dragging me down. I share a grudge with the Demon Buddha too, and should Human Dao Dynasty’s shelter falter, alternatives await you."
