Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2354 186: Sparring (Part 2)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
That said, it wasn't because his Dao Domain lacked power, but because the top-grade Dao Treasure possessed such overwhelming might. His insight into the profound rules proved equally remarkable—he merely hadn't forged it into a Dao Domain as of yet.
In the past, beyond the Cloud Sky Realm, his Yellow Dao Domain had effortlessly subdued ten Arhats, a feat that truly demonstrated its prowess.
Once his Dao Domain evolves to the next level, it will surely rival the Secret Technique of the Silkworm Dragon Realm in potency.
At the same time, an ever-growing throng of cultivators assembled nearby, as Qian Baimao and his companions gazed in stunned disbelief at the clash between Wang Ba and Chong Hua:
"Taoist Master Chonghua, why is he battling Taoist Master Taiyi?"
"What are we supposed to do now?"
"Plus, their auras feel so overwhelming, even more intense than the Wonderful Feeling Realm..."
"We need to hurry and summon the other Taoist Masters to step in!"
As Qian Baimao and the rest fretted in worry, a relaxed and steady voice suddenly echoed from behind them:
"Stay calm, it's just a friendly spar."
The group turned toward the sound of the voice.
There, a one-legged Taoist drifted silently through the teleportation array of the ancient city. His eyes, much like those of Taoist Master Chonghua, gleamed with golden double pupils. He lifted his gaze to the intense showdown 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 offering deep bows.
Taoist Man ignored the greetings entirely, advancing instead to scrutinize the fierce exchange between Wang Ba and Chong Hua, his expression filling with mounting wonder.
His stare lingered most gravely on Wang Ba, laced with concealed amazement:
"Truly worthy of an Immortal Monarch's reincarnation... to advance this far in so little time!"
Even with his cultivation realm diminished, his sharp perception endured, allowing him to clearly see that Wang Ba wasn't unleashing his utmost against Chong Hua.
Stirred by the sight, he murmured gently:
"Gentlemen, allow me to participate as well!"
With those words, 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 limbs and tendrils, coiling like furious serpents to lash at Wang Ba!
Chong Hua, locked in combat with Wang Ba, caught sight of the disturbance and let out a cold huff, showing no retreat. He conjured a crimson spear in his grip 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 flashed in his eyes:
"Taoist Friend, your healing has been swift indeed—you've already stepped back into the early stage of the Tribulation-Transcending Realm."
He then let out a soft laugh:
"In that case, let's enjoy this together."
The Yellow Dao Domain that had been shielding against Chong Hua abruptly divided; one portion kept tangling with Chong Hua, while 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 united onslaught from Chong Hua and Taoist Man, all without resorting to any powers beyond the Dao Domain or shifting his position in the slightest, looking utterly composed.
Chong Hua and Taoist Man became ever more shocked as the fight dragged on.
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 overwhelm all arts, yet against the sturdy, unyielding Yellow Dao Domain, he felt utterly stymied.
Taoist Man, sly and versed in numerous arts, had regained his realm too hastily, leaving his base unsteady. Confronting the sheer dominance of the Yellow Dao Domain, he struggled just to withstand it. He might manage to protect himself, but posing any danger to Wang Ba concealed within the Yellow Dao Domain was out of the question.
With the trio clashing in a whirlwind of power, concerned over collateral damage to the area, they rapidly pulled away from the adjacent ancient city, venturing into the empty void.
Gleaming gold and scarlet wove together with amber and flame, alongside vibrant emerald...
Before long, three additional silhouettes arrived at the edges one by one.
Observing the three-way skirmish, each displayed expressions of profound astonishment:
"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 Tribulation-Transcending experts alone was downright unbelievable!
"He truly came 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, the mix of awe and joy in his eyes too intense for words.
At his side, Taoist Master Ying Yuan and Vajra Realm Master Gan Xiong were completely absorbed in the rule shifts unveiled by the three combatants!
Bound by the Sea of Chaos Realm's constraints, they remained unable to ascend to the Tribulation-Transcending Realm. Earlier generations of cultivators had racked their brains, ultimately devising a stage beyond the Unification Realm but short of the Tribulation-Transcending Realm—the 'Wonderful Feeling Realm.'
In truth, the Wonderful Feeling Realm mirrors the Tribulation-Transcending Realm; practitioners there can sense the presence of rules and strive to comprehend them, albeit imperfectly.
They had dwelled in the Wonderful Feeling Realm for countless years, convinced no further progress was possible. Gan Xiong, drawing on his deep connection to the Little Cang World, had consulted Taoist Man and achieved minor gains. Yet, beholding the trio's arcane duel felt like unveiling an entirely new horizon!
The arcane duel between Taoist Master Man and Taoist Master Taiyi, in particular, broadened their perspectives immensely!
Such revelations could never come from routine instruction.
As the three's confrontation escalated in fervor, Taoist Master Changying Qiao Zhongxu subconsciously clutched the Overturning Water Staff in his grasp, only to release it after a moment's pause.
Within his possession lay 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 on display, serving only to embarrass himself.
