Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2570: 259: Exhausting All Efforts
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
“Duanhai Cliff…”
Atop the surging black tide, the Master of Quiet Cave loomed high, his enormous frame seeming incredibly frail and diminutive below this colossal barrier. While beholding the limitless ascent of Duanhai Cliff and the vast emptiness encircled by the Six Root Magic Staffs, a flicker involuntarily crossed his eyes.
Despite his endless years of existence, occasions when he truly laid eyes on Duanhai Cliff remained exceedingly rare.
Once, spurred by curiosity, he too had challenged this immense wall, only to retreat without success.
From that moment, he fully grasped the utter insignificance of any single being against this barrier stretching across the Realm Sea.
Exactly for this reason, witnessing Wang Ba guide countless cultivators to achieve such a defying-the-heavens miracle left him speechless.
The other cultivators, catching sight of the black tide, showed equal shock:
“True Man Taiyi has allied with the Innate Divine Demons!?”
“So many Innate Divine Demons—over a thousand at least!”
“And these World Eaters, has he summoned every one from this entire Realm Sea?”
“Never mind that. With the Supreme True Buddha looming, no creature can flee. Uniting to fight the foe would be a blessing!”
“I’m no foolhardy one… But Innate Divine Demons and World Eaters differ from us cultivators. Even inside the formation, what good would they do?”
“True enough, yet True Man Taiyi called them here, so he must have a plan?”
Amid the cultivators’ bewilderment, Xuan Yuanzi next to the Master of Quiet Cave spoke steadily.
Suddenly, from the black tide surged forth hordes of Innate Divine Demons, each issuing eerie cries. Enveloped by the black tide, they hurled themselves toward the Six Root Magic Staffs without a second thought!
Beneath the cultivators’ stunned stares, the World Eaters composing the black tide mimicked moths drawn to fire, slamming into the Six Root Magic Staffs before detonating under remote command from the Innate Divine Demons!
Bang, bang, bang!
Myriad World Eaters instantly converted into primal chaos origin substances and rules, surging straight into the Six Root Magic Staffs.
Via the Six Root Magic Staffs, this power swiftly substituted the cultivators’ own strength!
Boom——
A ferocious quake erupted!
The Six Root Magic Staffs blazed with intensified brilliance, and the vortex void—previously just vaguely lake-like—abruptly swelled outward!
As the void ballooned, its spiraling patterns raced toward the far-off cliff walls, extending beyond the Six Root Magic Staffs’ perimeter, with fissures appearing to etch into the wall…
This sight brought joyous expressions to the Mahayana cultivators’ faces, while those in the six rear formations erupted in ecstatic cheers.
Wang Ba’s expression stayed grave, permitting no delay:
“Elixir!”
His urgent command rang out, prompting the cultivators to swiftly swallow their prepared recovery elixirs without hesitation.
Lady Hua pushed to her utmost, unleashing endless blossoms to sustain the cultivators, her complexion rapidly draining to ghostly pallor.
True enough, in mere moments, as the vortex void exploded in size, the yields from the World Eaters’ self-destructions failed to offset the cultivators’ drain. A fiercer suction, tidal in force, madly yanked at Wang Ba and his allies via the Six Root Magic Staffs!
Not merely from the Six Root Magic Staffs came suction; within the vortex void itself, a tangible whirlpool pull nearly took form!
Nearby chaotic essence got rapidly devoured into that whirlpool suction!
Without solid footing, Bai Lechan and the bald man Jiao suffered instant assault from the abrupt whirlpool pull, struggling to hold position. Even bolstered by fellow cultivators behind, they teetered on the brink of being dragged into the vortex!
The winds howled fiercely!
Right then, Xuan Yuanzi appeared behind Bai Lechan, declaring:
“Do not resist!”
Bai Lechan, heeding the words despite his disdain for Innate Divine Demons, dropped his barriers in this dire hour.
Among the thousands of Innate Divine Demons, many emulated him, channeling their chaos origin substance through Xuan Yuanzi. This morphed into streams of mana and rules, fusing into Bai Lechan’s primordial spirit.
Buoyed by these Innate Divine Demons, Bai Lechan caught his breath, activating his Dao Domain to root himself in the nearby void and rapidly steady his stance.
Simultaneously, on the bald man Jiao’s front, the Master of Quiet Cave seized him just as the vortex threatened to claim him. Additional Innate Divine Demons joined, employing an Innate Demon Reincarnation to merge themselves inseparably with the bald man Jiao.
“Thank you, but it's a pity my Heavenly Demon Cave is still so far away…”
Jiao, the bald man, at last eased somewhat and hurriedly offered his thanks to the Master of Quiet Cave.
The Master of Quiet Cave pulled his hand back, gave a light nod to those words, then turned his sight to Wang Ba, whispering swiftly and gently:
“True Man Taiyi, is it sufficient now?”
While maneuvering the Land-Parting Staff, Wang Ba rapidly scanned the area nearby. At the Master's question, his face turned somber, and he secretly shot back fast:
“Far from sufficient yet. We've just made a preliminary breach; fully shattering it is impossible for us by ourselves. We need to seek a method to draw extra power!”
“Not enough?!”
The Master of Quiet Cave's countenance altered, his eyes automatically scanning over the cultivators and Innate Divine Demons gathered there.
This could well be the grandest assembly of cultivators and Innate Divine Demons across tens of thousands of years in the Realm Sea, and still they failed to entirely demolish the Duanhai Cliff barrier?
How many more would be needed to utterly breach it?
