Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2525: 244: Plague Disaster (Part 2)

The remaining nine Buddha shadows likewise formed hand seals at the same time.

Right away, in the opposite palm of the Reclining Buddha, the Lotus Buddha Kingdom got reactivated by those nine Buddhas, unleashing a mighty pulling force!

This pull was incredibly intense, stretching across huge expanses in a flash and engulfing the whole nearby void.

Near the three massive Buddha statues, the entire void churned like surging ocean waves!

At that instant, True Man Gai, who had fled the farthest, went pale as he sensed his surroundings morph into treacherous quicksand, yanking him backward with irresistible might!

His face grim, he acted without delay, spewing a glob of Primordial Spirit Essence Blood onto his sword energy before fusing with his blade anew, becoming a streak of light that hurtled deeper into the distant void.

Observing this from among the nine Buddha shadows hovering over the three Buddha statues.

One Buddha offered a faint smile and pointed remotely at True Man Gai.

The very next moment, True Man Gai shuddered, a “卍” symbol materializing right at his forehead's center.

Though True Man Gai swiftly unleashed sword-light from his brow to shatter the “卍” mark, that split-second delay cost him his chance to escape.

Overwhelmed by the terrifying suction, True Man Gai couldn't fight it off and got dragged straight into the Lotus Buddha Kingdom!

Unlike True Man Gai, Lady Hua and the bald man surnamed Jiao fared even worse.

Even with Lady Hua's desperate resistance, she couldn't hold out and was sucked directly into the Lotus Buddha Country.

The bald man unveiled his actual form—a Hornless Flood Dragon—and followed right after Lady Hua into the pull.

Only Bai Lechan, sensing the overwhelming suction, flashed a cold glint in his gaze.

“I refuse to believe the Realm Sea can truly contain you!”

As the pull intensified, he abruptly spun around, refusing to resist, and offered up another Dragon Head Nail, letting the massive force propel it toward one of the three great Buddha statues!

“Hmm?”

Among the ten Buddha shadows, Tianshang Buddha Lord’s countenance darkened upon seeing this.

Just as he prepared to act, one of the nine Buddha shadows chuckled lightly:

“Let me do it.”

With a finger raised in a flower-picking pose.

A Buddha’s Hand materialized from the void outside the three Dharma Aspects, copying the flower-picking motion, and casually yet precisely crushed the Dragon Head Nail into dust…

Upon witnessing this, Bai Lechan’s eyes filled with profound despair and reluctance.

Though he had pushed himself to the limit, he lingered merely at the early Human Immortal Realm, and without ingredients, even a skilled cook is helpless.

Thus, unable to resist any longer, his form was swiftly drawn into the Lotus Buddha Country.

At this point, all four Mahayana experts had been captured one after another.

Over on Wang Ba’s end, as Heavenly Monarch Chao raced toward him, a mix of relief and powerlessness washed over him.

Fully aware of the other's nature, he skipped any talk.

The colossal Buddha’s Hand bore down from overhead, and even from afar, it made his four Magic Wands quiver unstably!

Seeing how fragile his four Magic Wands looked against that power, Wang Ba wasted no time, flinging open his sleeve to draw in the Chaos Green Fox—already clutched by the Buddha’s Hand—via beams of light, tucking it away safely.

As he stored it, he himself shot toward Heavenly Monarch Chao…

Right then, spotting Wang Ba’s dash, the lower Buddha’s Hand grew larger, while the upper one shifted from gripping to slapping!

Both gigantic Buddha’s Hands converged at once!

The moment those two vast Buddha’s Hands met, a clump of murky yellow flames got forced out between them.

It slammed into an unseen barrier encircling them, snuffing out on impact.

Yet it briefly lit up a huge spherical shield stretching far beyond the three great Buddha statues, as though it walled off the entire Realm Sea from within…

As the Buddha’s Hands sealed shut, Tianshang Buddha Lord pressed his palms together, bowed his head a bit, and intoned a Buddha's name.

“Supreme True Buddha… Layman may rest in peace.”

But his face soon changed.

With a mental command, the two Buddha’s Hands lifted and parted gradually.

However, between them, Wang Ba’s form had vanished completely?!

Tianshang Buddha Lord’s gaze turned piercing, his expression clouding over instantly.

His mind whirled as he probed everywhere, and despite his brief scan backed by his profound realm and Cultivation Base, he found no trace of irregularity.

“I have already isolated the inner and outer with the three great Dharma Realms, severed causality, it stands to reason he couldn’t possibly escape…”

Suddenly, enlightenment struck, and his face twisted in shock.

Anger and haste surged across his features!

His body blinked away from its spot in a flash.

The next instant.

Tianshang Buddha Lord materialized in a vast, limitless expanse.

This realm mirrored the Lotus Buddha Kingdom, manifesting as a serene Buddha kingdom.

Tranquil and calm.

Innumerable devout believers filled the Buddha kingdom.

Gathered in the central temple were monks of all levels, including survivors from the Lotus Buddha Country.

Tianshang Buddha Lord honed his senses, pinpointing his quarry almost at once, and directed his sight to a figure in green robes atop the temple.

In his grasp was a tiny novice monk devoid of awareness.

“Pu Yan…”

Tianshang Buddha Lord narrowed his eyes, inspecting the novice, and instantly identified the child.

This was none other than the disciple painstakingly nurtured by the Western Great Bodhisattva, blessed with Buddha nature, specially moved from the Lotus Buddha Country as a Buddha Seed.
