Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2455: 220: Why Rush to Harm Each Other? (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
“Got it… So, is this the heir you’ve selected to become the future Buddha Lord?”
“What makes you pick a follower of Mahayana Buddhism to inherit the Buddha Lord’s role?”
“Obviously, you banished me back then over exactly that issue.”
Buddha Tianyin responded this time with a sharp snort, offering no reply.
The elderly monk paid no heed to the response, strolling casually through the emptiness.
A heavy solemnity etched across Buddha Tianyin’s face, as the overwhelming force ahead felt like a towering peak crumbling and an ocean surging wildly…
And then, out of nowhere.
Whoosh!
A streak of faint golden blade glow suddenly burst forth from the far-off emptiness!
“Hm?”
The old monk halted for a moment, glancing over, where the blade glow resembled a chilling star.
However, he made no move to dodge, letting the faint golden blade glow pierce right into him!
But in an instant, it vanished completely, as if a mud cow plunging into the ocean!
With composure, the old monk gazed toward the origin of the blade glow, displaying a touch of approval toward the intensely focused silhouette:
“True Man Taiyi… Indeed, the Northern Great Bodhisattva spoke of you, noting your mastery of the three Buddhist precepts, your array of techniques, and your prowess in spell battles. With that in mind, I shall appoint you as the Guardian Ming King under my Supreme True Buddha…”
From the remote void, Wang Ba wore a grave look. The current circumstances left no space for careful maneuvering to stay safe; it was now a high-stakes gamble where victory meant everything or defeat meant total loss, demanding full exposure. Without hesitation, he trembled his form, summoning the Three-headed and Six-armed Dharma Body, grasping superior Dao Treasures in every arm, while layers of divine beast illusions stacked behind his back.
Upon witnessing this, a flicker of astonishment crossed the old monk’s features:
“You’ve practiced Mahayana Buddhism too?”
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand in curiosity, lunging straight for Wang Ba!
The motion appeared ordinary, devoid of any odd signs, but it caused Wang Ba’s heart to clench abruptly, his hairs bristling in alarm!
Right then, beyond the realm, a straightforward and crisp sword beam raced directly at the old monk’s rear!
The Dao embodies simplicity; this unadorned strike compelled the old monk to turn his head briefly.
“That’s True Man Gai!”
Wang Ba’s morale surged, instantly identifying the essence embedded in the sword beam.
The blade beam charged with savage keenness, causing the old monk’s countenance to tighten a bit, marking the initial display of avoidance.
As the blade beam flashed by, the old monk shifted aside minimally, then astonishingly extended toward Wang Ba once again!
Such a move evidently surprised True Man Gai.
The blade beam swiftly reversed course, while in the distance, Buddha Tianyin, shielding Kong Zen, spotted the old monk’s maneuver, his expression shifting subtly.
“Hurry, protect Taiyi!”
Kong Zen cried out in haste!
“Understood!”
Buddha Tianyin wasted no time, employing Divine Footwork to materialize instantly at Wang Ba’s side!
Boom!
The old monk’s withered hand slashed across the void, bypassing Wang Ba to target the arriving Buddha Tianyin head-on!
Buzz!
Buddha Tianyin truly lived up to his fame in the Defensive Dao across the Realm Sea.
Amid this dire crisis, he pressed his palms together upfront, a Buddha image emerging to envelop him; though it quivered, it staunchly repelled the old monk’s strike!
The old monk’s gaze narrowed faintly, betraying no shock, as he sidestepped True Man Gai’s blade beam, and with Buddha Tianyin intercepting his feint, he lunged anew at Wang Ba nearby!
Genuine turns illusory, illusion becomes genuine!
In a flash, he manipulated all present with effortless control!
Wang Ba could only stare as the hand bore down on him, his flesh, Primordial Spirit, and even mind appearing locked in place!
Utterly powerless to activate the Dao Treasure!
And precisely when the strike neared Wang Ba.
Out from the Primordial Spirit emerged the unredeemed Silkworm Dragon Staff, humming as it soared forth.
A figure in white robes materialized without delay, positioning itself before Wang Ba, confronting the old monk squarely!
As the white-robed form took shape, Wang Ba’s Primordial Spirit, Dao Domain, and physique swiftly regained control, and upon recognizing the figure, he blurted in astonishment:
“Master Chao!”
