Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2429: 212: Stunning Sighting
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Over the skies of Zhang’s Ruins, thunderous roars and unraveling spells filled the air just moments before, yet now an eerie silence reigns.
Be it the Bodhisattvas and Arhats from the Supreme True Buddha or the cultivators dwelling in Zhang’s Ruins, everyone present gawked at the unfolding spectacle in the void, filled with utter astonishment, profound shock, and utter disbelief.
The azure-robed figure now poised elegantly in the midst of the void, his hands clasped behind him, allowing the chaos to upend natural laws and flip Yin and Yang upside down, while he gazed down calmly and composedly at the two enormous Buddha statues beneath.
His azure robes billowed as if belonging to a celestial fiend; despite his modest stature, he exuded an overwhelming majesty.
On the other hand, those two massive Buddha statues seemed lackluster and eclipsed in his presence.
And beyond the void surrounding Zhang’s Ruins.
The aged silhouette was also fixated on Wang Ba with astonishment, his eyes brimming with unforeseen marvel and awe:
“This… this being of chaos has genuinely absorbed the prowess from Taoist Friend Chao’s wild beast method.”
“But how is his Dao Domain so deep and powerful? When fused with the laws, it’s utterly unimaginable, especially since his level hasn’t ascended to the Tenth Tier yet…”
“Under Mahayana, is there truly anyone who can match him?”
Uncertain in his mind, he nonetheless sensed faintly that among the advanced and pinnacle experts he was acquainted with, even his own successor, the present leader of Cloud Sky Sect, Bai Lechan, could very well fall short in an actual confrontation.
As for his own capabilities, he conceded that back in his era of Tribulation Crossing at perfection, resisting the joint assault of three Great Bodhisattvas would prove exceedingly challenging.
Deep in his thoughts, a mix of shock and lament filled him, prompting a soft, regretful murmur:
“Taoist Friend Chao’s apprentice far exceeds what he let on, such a prodigy wasted outside my Cloud Sky Realm.”
“Yes, I recall Liaochan telling me that this True Man Taiyi hailed from a minor offshoot of a trivial sect within the realm; who would have thought such a powerhouse would arise, yet sadly, he can’t join my Cloud Sky Realm…”
In his lament, his gaze turned somewhat grave.
He knew full well that the True Man Taiyi standing there was still a ways off from their level, but that gap could close in mere thousands of years, bringing him to an equal standing; at that point, they would stand as equals.
“Never thought he’d conquer Zhang’s Ruins… still, it acts as a crucial barrier here, holding back the Supreme True Buddha.”
Across from him, the towering form in the void observed the arcane battle raging across Zhang’s Ruins surface, his inner joy surging quietly.
Unable to contain himself, he focused his sight and whispered in admiration:
“This True Man Taiyi proves far stronger than Xuan Yuanzi portrayed!”
“Not even six millennia in late-stage Crossing Tribulation… I’ve endured endless ages and roamed through countless sects; talents like this are truly scarce!”
“In under ten thousand years, Mahayana might be within his grasp!”
“Should he align with us in Quiet Cave for real…”
For an instant, words failed to capture his elation, leaving him to chant over and over:
“Excellent! Excellent!”
Meanwhile, in the distance, shrouded in radiant white light inside Reclining Buddha, yet another observer caught sight of the events, his eyes suddenly blazing with a surge of brilliant light:
“What a splendid True Man Taiyi!”
“Heavenly Monarch Chao, where on earth did you unearth such a remarkable follower?”
His mind swirled with both wonder and jealousy.
Having transcended realms himself, he yearned for a superior successor to carry on the myriad inheritances of the Void Demon Realm.
Yet abruptly, a shadow crossed his expression, hinting at deep reflection.
He had paid little heed to this True Man Taiyi at first, viewing him solely as a tool to counter the Supreme True Buddha.
However, their initial encounter had etched a lasting mark, making him realize that True Man Taiyi wasn’t some pliable youth to bend at will.
That very trait fueled his aversion, for an untamable nature disqualified him as an ideal piece; had options abounded then, he’d have asserted dominance without hesitation.
But now, seeing Taiyi effortlessly face three foes, triumph over them, and seize one Great Bodhisattva, comprehension dawned: this True Man Taiyi transcended mere utility; he could soon join them on the grand board, taking his seat among the players.
At the very least, such dazzling prowess in spellcasting was unmatched in his experiences, at least among those of comparable cultivation.
The prior contempt dissolved within him, giving way to earnest deliberation.
“Beneath Mahayana, scarcely anyone could stand against him.”
“Lacking support from Quiet Cave’s Innate Divine Demons, he alone with Zhang’s Ruins suffices to check the Supreme True Buddha.”
“He could genuinely aid in reviving the Void Demon Realm, shattering the Supreme True Buddha’s influence.”
“Thus, the initial strategy requires minor revisions…”
As Xiahou Demon mulled over these thoughts.
High above Zhang’s Ruins.
Surrounded by the turbulent chaos of earth, fire, water, and wind, the Western Great Bodhisattva and Southern Great Bodhisattva failed to uphold their Dharma Aspect any longer, exposing their authentic appearances; their four eyes locked onto Wang Ba, brimming with disbelief, horror, and awe!
Thinking back to how the Northern Great Bodhisattva had been abruptly seized by him, the Western Great Bodhisattva’s expression soured, his mind whirling, and together with the Southern Great Bodhisattva, they hurriedly withdrew their forms!
Simultaneously, they bellowed in icy tones:
“We never foresaw your strength to be this immense, outstripping even our united forces; in the Realm Sea’s turmoil, you rightfully hold the top spot!”
“However, even after taking the Northern Great Bodhisattva, you’ve missed a critical detail!”
