Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2279: 160: Rescue

Wang Ba experienced a sudden clarity of mind. He calculated that the Western Great Bodhisattva’s decision to send more subordinates to Enter the Realm was not just a possibility, but an inevitability.

In the span of little more than a century, Senior Brother and Chong Hua had likely only finished the initial stabilization and purging of the various factions within the Sea of Chaos Realm. How could they possibly withstand the focused scrutiny of the Supreme True Buddha?

To confront the Supreme True Buddha, utilizing the Cloud Sky Realm appeared to be the only viable strategy.

If the Cloud Sky Realm could successfully distract the Supreme True Buddha, Wang Ba would gain the necessary time to settle the crisis at the Immortal Pass.

In a heartbeat, a preliminary strategy began to take shape in Wang Ba’s thoughts.

Naturally, this was merely a mental blueprint; he would need to reach the Cloud Sky Realm to deliberate on the specific details.

As the surrounding Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Taoist Masters closed in, Shen Fu grew visibly anxious. He cast a quick look toward the horizon and hurriedly sent a transmission:

“Senior Brother, reinforcements from the Cloud Sky Realm are here. I have my treasure armor for protection—watch yourself in the coming clash!”

Wang Ba’s mood darkened as he grasped Shen Fu’s intent. He swiftly withdrew the Candle Dragon and, with a sudden burst of strength, shattered his way out of the massive skeletal head.

The moment he emerged, he was intercepted by the waiting Female Bodhisattva, the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva, and their cohort.

The Three-Eyed Bodhisattva’s face lit up with malicious joy. He swung the Vajra Sword, aiming a fierce strike at Wang Ba once more:

“I refuse to believe you can survive this again!”

Simultaneously, an Arm Bracelet Golden Wheel resumed its deadly spinning trajectory, whistling toward him!

It wasn't just these two; the ten Arhats from before also brandished their various Dao Treasures. Alongside the demonic shadows accompanying Shen Fu, they unleashed their full power, weaving a Heaven and Earth Net that descended upon Wang Ba’s head!

Despite the lethal peril, Wang Ba remained stoic. His hand, as pale as jade, darted out like a dragon's claw. He seized the armor-clad Shen Fu and hoisted him upward like a shield!

Shock flickered across the faces of the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva and the Female Bodhisattva, yet they did not check their momentum. The Vajra Sword and the Golden Wheel continued their descent, tearing toward both Shen Fu and Wang Ba!

The demonic shadows under Shen Fu’s command reacted with startled fury:

“Hell Path Master!”

Observing that the two Bodhisattvas showed no mercy and instead intensified their assault, the demonic shadows hesitated for only a second before joining the fray with ruthless strikes!

Such was the nature of the Demon Dao; status held no weight once the blood started flowing.

Perhaps, under the dominion of the Supreme True Buddha, the laws of existence were stripped down to this brutal reality.

Wang Ba watched the chaotic scene, his heart growing heavy.

The treasure armor worn by Shen Fu suddenly exploded with a terrifying surge of Demonic Qi, absorbing the brunt of the collective onslaught!

Shen Fu’s complexion turned deathly white as spiderweb fractures spread across the surface of his armor, yet he managed to narrowly withstand the combined might of the attackers.

At that moment, Wang Ba let go of Shen Fu, seeking a path to escape.

“The Lord of Six Paths gave you such a magnificent treasure! And yet you are this pathetic!”

The Three-Eyed Bodhisattva roared in frustration, hurling an insult at Shen Fu even as he pivoted.

The Vajra Sword in his grip didn't miss a beat, slashing toward Wang Ba!

Shen Fu’s face was twisted with shame and rage. He ground his teeth and hissed:

“If you think it's so easy, why don't you try it!”

One of the Arhats spotted figures approaching from the distant Cloud Sky Realm and shouted a warning:

“Hurry! The Cloud Sky Realm has sent aid!”

Hearing this, the others tightened their formation, desperate to pin Wang Ba down.

However, Wang Ba’s form suddenly blurred, and a loach-like shadow manifested around him. Rather than pushing forward, he retreated. His palm flipped to condense his Dao Domain, shifting its properties into Yuanci. Instantly, an irresistible gravitational pull snatched the unsuspecting Female Bodhisattva from her supposedly safe position and hurled her back into the center of the fray.

The Female Bodhisattva frantically tried to recall her Arm Bracelet Golden Wheel for defense, but the surrounding Taoist Masters and Arhats were moving too fast. Despite their efforts to abort their attacks, their combined force slammed into her in an instant!

Her eyes bulged as her Golden Body disintegrated, leaving behind nothing but a revolting, twisting blood-shadow of a demonic eye!

Witnessing a Bodhisattva meet such a gruesome end through a single lapse in judgment, the Three-Eyed Bodhisattva and the others were paralyzed with terror.

The momentum of their attack faltered!

Wang Ba possessed razor-sharp combat instincts. He didn't waste the split-second opening. With a thought, his Dao Domain shifted and the rules twisted; a gargantuan elephant shadow materialized behind him, and an overwhelming physical force erupted in all directions!

Wang Ba then shot across the sky like a comet, colliding with the weakest demonic shadow!

He moved faster than a bolt of lightning!

Boom!

The impact sounded like a mountain splitting apart!

That demonic shadow, which possessed power equivalent to an early-stage cultivator, barely managed a final shriek before its Demonic Qi was obliterated by the rules Wang Ba wielded!

Using the gap he had created, he made a composed exit.

Divine Patterns shimmered as he eventually came to a halt before a section of the void.

Wang Ba’s expression was grim.

He scanned the area; it was the exact spot where True Man Nie and True Man Ba had previously breached the Flying Dao Treasure.

“My Junior Brother was right, this truly is a Heaven and Earth Net…”

“He must not be allowed to get away!”

The Three-Eyed Bodhisattva finally recovered his wits and bellowed in rage.

He was consumed by a mixture of fury and dread.

Shen Fu added coldly:

“Kill him!”

Over twenty figures—Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Taoist Masters—surged forward in a swarm.

Demonic Qi and Buddhist radiance merged, forming a massive black-and-white alms bowl that sought to trap Wang Ba against the invisible barrier!

From a distance, Chen Zhongqi watched the scene as he flew toward them at high speed, his heart filled with a mix of awe and trepidation. He was stunned that the Supreme True Buddha had deployed so many experts, but he was even more staggered by the prowess of the green-robed Taoist, who remained so poised while surrounded by such a formidable force.

However, his anxiety grew. He knew that regardless of how skilled the Taoist was, the followers of the Supreme True Buddha held the numerical advantage. He feared the man would eventually fall, which would mean failing the task his Master had entrusted to him.

Driven by desperation, he forced himself to burn his Primordial Spirit Essence Blood, doubling his speed!

Seeing the green-robed Taoist just ahead and the 'black-and-white alms bowl' closing in from behind, Chen Zhongqi drew his sword and shouted:

“Taoist Friend, stay calm! I am here to—”

His words cut off abruptly.

A faint golden beam of sword light silently sliced through the dense wall of restrictive rules.

Under Chen Zhongqi’s wide-eyed gaze, the green-robed Taoist drifted effortlessly through the hole in the barrier. He didn't flee immediately, but instead turned back and flipped his hand.

Facing the swarm of pursuers, his expression remained perfectly serene as he thrust his sword several times in rapid succession!

Seeing Wang Ba strike again, the pursuing Arhats and Bodhisattvas instinctively flinched and scattered in terror!

Even so, one Taoist Master failed to react in time. His Demonic Qi vanished as his lifeless body plummeted toward the ground…

The Bodhisattvas and Arhats stared at one another, paralyzed by fear.

Looking at Wang Ba standing outside the barrier of rules, none of them dared to take another step forward, hesitating in mid-air.

At that moment, the cultivators who had been following Chen Zhongqi finally arrived at the scene.

They were met with the sight of a lone green-robed Taoist standing before a host of Bodhisattvas and Arhats. His calm demeanor was so intimidating that the enemy dared not advance. The newcomers looked at each other, stunned into silence.

The Three-Eyed Bodhisattva’s expression shifted through various emotions. He glanced at Chen Zhongqi’s reinforcements and eventually signaled a silent retreat, vanishing into the depths of the void with his followers.

Wang Ba watched them depart with a casual glance. He then turned his attention to Chen Zhongqi. A soft smile touched his lips as he raised his hand in a polite greeting:

“I am Taiyi. I am grateful for your assistance, Taoist Friend. Might you be a master from the Cloud Sky Realm?”

Chen Zhongqi hesitated upon hearing the question. He looked at the hole in the rule-wall, which was already beginning to knit itself back together, and fell into a thoughtful silence.
