Capítulo 2540: Chapter 249: The Sixth Staff, Part 2
Furthermore, unlike Tianshang, the Chaos Green Fox performs bloodline fusion strictly within the Realm Sea rules' permitted bounds, so it doesn't qualify as an entity surpassing those rules. Therefore, it can linger in the Realm Sea for extended durations, without needing the three major Dharma Realms for sustenance like the Tianshang Buddha Lord does. In a drawn-out conflict absent those realms, the Chaos Green Fox seizes total dominance.
True Man Gai, Lady Hua, and Jiao all listened intently upon hearing this.
However, True Man Gai swiftly recalled the deadliest flaw:
Tianshang Buddha Lord has a counter, yet how do we handle the three major Dharma Realms precisely? That's the heart of the problem.
These words instantly plunged the room into silence.
All cultivators knitted their brows tightly, pondering deeply—even Bai Lechan stayed mute in that instant.
During his previous life in the Second Realm Sea, his level had only reached the Profound Immortal stage.
Currently, though, his cultivation and realm lagged far behind his past pinnacle; despite ransacking every bit of his knowledge, no strategy emerged for the weak to best the mighty or crack the three major Dharma Realms conundrum.
Breaking the quiet, Wang Ba suddenly declared:
I have a notion; perhaps it's worth attempting.
These words stunned everyone present.
Heavenly Monarch Chao couldn't resist inquiring:
Are you considering the prior plague tactic once more?
The Disaster Plague Immortal's arts had seared an indelible memory into him.
Wang Ba shook his head faintly:
Such a tactic works once but fails on repetition. With Tianshang now privy to our scheme, he'll surely stay vigilant.
It's viable to test, yet unwise to stake everything on it.
Hearing this deepened Heavenly Monarch Chao's bewilderment:
Then what approach counters these three major Dharma Realms?
Wang Ba mulled it over:
I'm uncertain if my notion holds water, so let's explore multiple paths. Taoist Brother Bai, keep readying that Secret Technique you spoke of; seize any opening to slay the Tianshang Buddha Lord at once.
Master Chao, exhaust all efforts to aid the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox in breaking through to Ninth-Tier.
He halted briefly, glancing toward True Man Gai, Kong Zen, Lady Hua, and Jiao, then continued:
For the rest of us, let's hazard another gamble to ambush the Supreme True Buddha unexpectedly!
True Man Gai jolted in shock at this, grasping Wang Ba's underlying intent right away, his face betraying utter astonishment:
Do you mean we launch a sneak attack on the Supreme True Buddha immediately?
Wang Ba kept his expression serene, offering no verbal reply.
The nearby cultivators, struck by Wang Ba's audacious scheme, all wore horrified gazes as they stared at him in disbelief.
Even Heavenly Monarch Chao paled in astonishment:
Taiyi, is this truly your intent?
With Heavenly Monarch Chao pressing the question, Wang Ba nodded without hesitation:
Since neither Master Chao nor anyone else foresaw this, Tianshang won't anticipate our renewed strike now… In battle, the art of deception reigns supreme! His defenses remain lax, presenting our perfect opening.
True Man Gai gazed at Wang Ba in awe, astonished that this outwardly tranquil junior possessed such staggering bravery, foresight, and resolve.
Complexity mingled with faint admiration flickered unwittingly in his eyes.
Still, he pressed on:
Handing the Chaos Green Fox to Taoist Friend Chao leaves us short three Mahayana powerhouses already, doesn't it?
We're no match for the Supreme True Buddha anyway; wouldn't this plunge us back into the tiger's jaws?
Wang Ba shook his head again. His speech stayed simple, yet brimmed with unshakable poise:
Rearing divine beasts demands time, not instant results, so Chaos Green Fox and Master Chao must battle by our side awhile longer. Taoist Brother Bai's Secret Technique prep takes time too, freeing him from joining us immediately.
Absent Taoist Brother Bai, we're just in support this round—the true vanguard is another, so it barely impacts us.
That said, as I noted, certainty isn't guaranteed; it's only a trial run.
Success brings victory; failure demands swift retreat plans to curb heavy casualties, keeping dangers low—and thus worth the shot.
“Naturally, the Supreme True Buddha has schemed for years, but we remain unaware of the full scope of his countermeasures. If anyone falls in this battle, it would be entirely expected.”
“Thus, if you truly intend to accompany me, steel yourselves for the risk of death.”
He laid out the dangers plainly.
Glances passed among the group, but no one stepped back.
Prior to this abrupt strike against the Supreme True Buddha, they had already steeled for the direst outcomes.
The fighters gathered here, driven not by self-interest, stood for powers and lineages akin to Wang Ba's, True Man Gai's, and similar ones.
Hence, regardless of the hazards, such risks felt routine to them.
“What's our next step?”
True Man Gai couldn't hold back from inquiring.
Wang Ba's aura of confidence and composure seemed to spread to all, effortlessly handing leadership from True Man Gai to Wang Ba.
True Man Gai noticed this change yet remained unconcerned.
Within his core, the Cloud Sky Realm and Cloud Sky Sect reigned supreme; all else could bend, and he paid it no heed.
Wang Ba mulled rapidly, his eyes sweeping over the assembly ahead.
