Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2527: 245: Clash
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
“Buddha Lord, your words are mistaken.”
Amid the peaceful void,
an overwhelming pressure burst from Tianshang Buddha Lord, raging like furious ocean waves.
Confronted by the horrifying pressure from Tianshang Buddha Lord, Wang Ba stayed utterly calm, his voice betraying no fear but instead exuding a heavy sense of dominance:
“You should be asking whether the Buddha Lord wants them to live or not.”
‘Crack!’
In an instant, ominous clouds blanketed the heavens over this realm, lightning roared fiercely, as though doomsday had descended!
Tianshang Buddha Lord’s eyes narrowed faintly, fixing a piercing gaze on Wang Ba.
His features remained impassive, yet the fury pouring from his form was nearly tangible.
Wang Ba appeared to disregard Tianshang Buddha Lord’s wrath entirely, proceeding to speak with steady composure:
“I know the Buddha Lord’s strength is immense, surpassing typical Mahayana Cultivators by far. Against the Buddha Lord, I doubt I could endure beyond three strikes.”
“However, to be frank with the Buddha Lord, that would suffice for the Plague Demon hidden in my sleeve to release its plague.”
His eyes scanned the surrounding monks and the myriad lives beyond the temple, totaling tens of billions in number.
Right now, these souls remained unaware of the looming disaster, carrying on their serene existences in this domain as usual.
Even should they spot the shifts in the sky, they showed no alarm.
Yet already, faint strands of greenish-black mist enveloped every one of them, intensifying steadily.
After Wang Ba spoke, Tianshang Buddha Lord fell quiet instead.
Given his profound perception, he could easily discern that these inhabitants of the space survived only due to the foe’s restraint on the plague’s spread. Should it erupt, the Ninth-Tier Plague Demon’s virulent plague would leave no life untouched!
With this realization,
his blazing anger abruptly cooled.
The energy coiling around him plunged into shadowy depths without warning.
Tianshang Buddha Lord gazed silently at Wang Ba, his tone icy and emotionless, like a chilling gust from a frozen cavern:
“Layman, the Realm Sea teems with lives. Dare you truly unleash it?”
Tianshang Buddha Lord’s response caught Wang Ba off guard momentarily, yet he soon let out a laugh.
His smile graced his lips, but his gaze lacked any mirth as he locked eyes with Tianshang Buddha Lord unflinchingly, his voice cool and detached:
“Buddha Lord, feel free to try.”
Tianshang Buddha Lord eyed Wang Ba intently before breaking into a wide grin:
“Then let us try.”
Sensing the shift in Tianshang Buddha Lord’s bearing, Wang Ba’s heart jolted, a bad omen stirring within.
The very next instant, Tianshang Buddha Lord flicked his sleeve, summoning a watery mirror between them suspended in the air.
This mirror displayed an entire realm.
In that realm, temples crumbled in devastation, fires raged unchecked, and scant traces of life lingered.
It was none other than the Lotus Buddha Country.
Moments later, the mirror shimmered, unveiling True Man Gai, Bai Lechan, Lady Hua, and their companions.
Yet now, they found themselves ensnared by the Lotus Buddha Country, fighting desperately to escape yet failing utterly.
Rather, as the Lotus Buddha Country shrank, the surging Red Lotus Fire from beneath seared them relentlessly, sapping their strength bit by bit.
The mirror proved visible inside the Lotus Buddha Country too, drawing True Man Gai and the rest’s immediate attention as they turned toward it.
Across the water mirror, True Man Gai and Wang Ba’s gazes connected, mutual shock evident in their stares.
Wang Ba’s expression turned grim, grasping Tianshang Buddha Lord’s scheme at once.
As expected, Tianshang Buddha Lord’s voice soon followed.
“You can try.”
Wang Ba whipped around at the words.
Observing Tianshang Buddha Lord’s face restored to serene calm, he declared steadily:
“If anyone dies here, these four Mahayana will not survive…”
True Man Gai, Bai Lechan, and the others within the Lotus Buddha Country appeared to catch Tianshang Buddha Lord’s declaration as well.
Their countenances shifted, directing their looks at Wang Ba via the water mirror.
Absorbing Tianshang Buddha Lord’s statement amid the intricate stares from True Man Gai and company,
Wang Ba paused briefly before glancing beyond the water mirror, dismissing the four Mahayana’s pleas, and confronting Tianshang Buddha Lord head-on with a sneer:
“This has no impact on me. I never came from the Duanhai Cliff’s four Great Realms; none within are worth my concern. Even if they fall instantly and die, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Besides, even if I don’t harm the monks here, will you spare them?”
“For me, the situation would not be worse than it is now, so you need not use this method to manipulate me.”
Upon hearing Wang Ba, the four Mahayana trapped in the Lotus Buddha Country displayed intricate emotions yet refrained from faulting him.
Be it genuine indifference or mere facade from Wang Ba, confronting Tianshang Buddha Lord, this stood as the optimal path.
Tianshang Buddha Lord, absorbing Wang Ba’s retort, betrayed a faint sigh across his visage.
Just when Wang Ba anticipated more words,
in the blink of an eye, he said nothing and lunged straight for Wang Ba!
Unleashing his Dharma Aspect abruptly, he thrust forth his arm toward Wang Ba!
The blow looked plain, almost mundane, but brimmed with the profound secrets of the Buddhist sect’s four elements.
Its velocity stunned, its power colossal, beyond conception.
The abrupt assault left Wang Ba and the Mahayana experts in the Lotus Buddha Country wholly unprepared.
