Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
The six Magic Wands continued to chip away at Duanhai Cliff, but the effort required immense manpower, which was lacking. Suddenly, Tianshang Buddha Lord appeared, offering Buddha's aid to those connected to his faith. Before anyone could fully react, Zhang's Ruins erupted in blue flames, challenging Tianshang Buddha Lord. Tianshang Buddha Lord launched an attack, inadvertently hitting Wang Ba and the others, enraging Zhang's Ruins, who then charged Tianshang Buddha Lord.

Chapter 259: Striving with All One’s Might (Part 3)

The Chaos Origin Substance locked within was also rapidly extracted by this formidable Great Array.

Yet, in practically the same moment, countless new Chaos Origin Substances spawned from the void; the outwardly fragile, transparent barrier held firm, as steadfast as a mountain!

Tianshang Buddha Lord cast his gaze upon these Four Great Realms, a flicker of anticipation igniting within his eyes.

Concurrently, Zhang’s Ruins broke free from the Great Array’s grasp, rising as if untouched, and let out a shake of his head.

Upon his somber, gray-black chest, a deeply imprinted Buddha’s palm was starkly visible.

At the site of the palm’s imprint, myriad intricate golden lines flowed, seemingly attempting to obliterate his physical form but proving utterly incapable of breaching it.

Witnessing this, Tianshang Buddha Lord’s eyes narrowed once more, a flash of astonishment crossing his features:

“Such formidable physical resilience… In the entirety of the Realm Sea, an existence like this should not be!”

Zhang’s Ruins grunted in response:

“The sentiment is mutual!”

Stretching out his limbs, two White Bone Sword Cones slowly emerged once more from his gray-black physique, a wisp of eerie blue flame clinging to the very bone.

“Who precisely are you? An immortal from the Second Realm Sea?”

Tianshang Buddha Lord inquired abruptly.

Zhang’s Ruins, identifying himself as “Bu Gui,” displayed a hint of bewilderment in his eyes:

“Perhaps… but it carries no significance.”

“The identity I currently hold is known as ‘Bu Gui’!”

Tianshang Buddha Lord acknowledged this with a slight nod:

“You speak truthfully; your identity holds no consequence for me.”

He then shook his head once more:

“You are not my equal. Even though I cannot penetrate this resilient body of yours, by altering my strategy, my sole objective need only be your sealing.”

Uttering this, he underwent a sudden transformation, unfurling a Dharma Aspect adorned with a thousand heads and countless arms.

Each of the myriad Buddha’s Hands meticulously formed a distinct Dharma Seal.

At the very core, his hands were pressed together in unison.

As he began chanting a Buddhist Scripture.

“The Great Compassion and Great Mercy Demon Suppression Spell?”

Upon beholding Tianshang Buddha Lord’s tactic, though lacking any recollection, at that precise instant, the thought surfaced involuntarily in Zhang’s Ruins, or “Bu Gui’s” mind, and he voiced it aloud.

“You possess knowledge of this technique?”

Tianshang Buddha Lord betrayed a subtle hint of surprise.

This was indeed one of the supreme Divine Skills bequeathed by the Supreme True Buddha, a power he had personally comprehended only after the unification of the three Dharma Realms.

“It appears your origins are indeed exceptional… However, within this Third Realm Sea, what recourse do you possess?”

From within the clasped Buddha’s palms, a dazzling Buddha light suddenly erupted!

Then, separating his hands, he prepared to seize the Zhang’s Ruins before him.

Yet, at this crucial juncture, he detected something amiss, his action faltering, and a trace of disbelief flickered in his eyes:

“How is this remotely possible!?”

He instinctively turned his head to survey the distant scene, only to witness the cultivators positioned upon the high wall of Duanhai Cliff. They should have been annihilated by his previous strike, yet now, as the Buddha light dissipated, they stood completely unscathed!

Furthermore, the swirling vortex void upon that distant high wall had expanded to more than double its previous size!

“How can this be?! Moments ago, I was certain I had already…”

Tianshang Buddha Lord’s heart was gripped by profound shock.

Amidst the turmoil clouding his mind, he abruptly sensed an intense, swiftly approaching gale.

“Allowing oneself to be distracted is a grave error!”

The resonant voice of Zhang’s Ruins echoed suddenly in his ear!

“What sorcery is this plaque? It could withstand even a strike from a Profound Immortal!”

Before the imposing wall of Duanhai Cliff.

Wang Ba, astride the Land-Parting Staff, descended from afar. With a swift movement of his sleeve, he gathered Wu Monkey King and the astonishing plaque, all beneath the stunned and bewildered gazes of the assembled multitude.

Despite his own heart being fraught with residual fear and shock, his outward demeanor remained composed. He quickly issued a solemn reminder in a deep voice:

“Everyone, maintain utmost vigilance! The suction force is likely to intensify once more!”

The Six Magic Wands were once again being buffeted outwards by the swirling vortex void.

At the nexus of these Magic Wands, the scale of the vortex void had now escalated to match the size of the Fenglin Continent within the former Little Cang World.

This phenomenal growth was attributable not solely to the unwavering fortitude of the cultivators, nor merely to the pressure differential between the interior and exterior of Duanhai Cliff causing the surrounding walls to erode bit by bit. Most significantly, it was a direct consequence of Tianshang Buddha Lord’s potent finger strike.

Although the Three Dharma Realms did not lay claim to absolute supremacy in magical combat, this was, after all, a strike emanating from the Profound Immortal stage. It had been intercepted and ultimately dissipated by Wu Monkey King’s plaque, with the residual energy contained within transforming entirely into sustenance for the Six Magic Wands, thereby directly invigorating Duanhai Cliff.

This infusion of power propelled the vortex void into a greater surge, dramatically accelerating the flow between the interior and exterior of Duanhai Cliff. The towering walls encircling the vortex began to recede inwards, seemingly melding into the other side of Duanhai Cliff, while the fissures splintering the high walls became increasingly pronounced, spreading until they were nearly imperceptible at the furthest reaches.

However, an even more fearsome suction, doubling once more, followed!

“I can’t hold on any longer!”

Bai Lechan’s complexion grew increasingly ashen. The suction from within the Six Magic Wands, combined with the whirlwinds generated by the pressure differential between the interior and exterior of Duanhai Cliff, relentlessly battered this cultivator who had only recently attained the Mahayana stage, pushing him to the brink of collapse.

He was not the sole individual experiencing this ordeal.

Even Xiahou Demon, Heavenly Monarch Chao, alongside Wang Ba and Kong Zen, were all enveloped by a profound sense of powerlessness and disorientation at this very moment…

Behind them, the multitude of cultivators and the Innate Divine Demons arrayed in formation were reduced to withered husks, their auras severely depleted.

Even Lady Hua, who was not directly confronting the Six Magic Wands, found herself utterly exhausted from her repeated deployment of recovery Divine Skills, her former radiance nowhere to be seen.

“Endure a little longer!”

Wang Ba's voice boomed, deep and resonant. Though his heart sank, despair had not yet fully taken root.

His gaze swiftly surveyed the surroundings: the state of the withered cultivators diligently supplying the Magic Wands while simultaneously ingesting Elixirs and refining them at a breakneck pace; the Innate Divine Demons clenching their teeth with sheer perseverance; and the Master of Quiet Cave, who was exerting every effort to prevent the cultivators from being swept away by the treacherous whirlwinds.

Finally, his gaze settled upon the distant Four Great Realms.

The chill in the air seemed to seep into the bones, a stark reminder of the approaching winter. Within the formidable walls of the Azure Mountain Sect, a palpable tension had settled. The disciples, usually bustling with activity, moved with a hushed reverence, their eyes darting towards the towering Jade Peak where the sect's most powerful cultivators resided.

Young Master Lin stared intently at the ancient tome before him, its brittle pages whispering secrets of forgotten realms. He traced the arcane symbols with a fingertip, his brow furrowed in concentration. "The path to true Dao is fraught with peril," he murmured, his voice barely audible above the crackling fireplace. "But the rewards… they are beyond mortal comprehension." His personal maid, a young woman named Qingyue, stood silently by, her gaze fixed on his every move. She had witnessed his unwavering dedication firsthand, his relentless pursuit of mastery over Qi and the cultivation arts.

"Young Master, perhaps you should rest?" she ventured softly, her voice laced with concern. "You have been immersed in your studies for days."

Lin waved a dismissive hand, his attention still captivated by the text. "Rest is a luxury I cannot afford, Qingyue. The Foundation Establishment stage is within my grasp, but the final breakthrough requires absolute focus."

A faint smile touched his lips. "Once I achieve Nascent Soul, no one will dare to look down upon the Lin family again."

He closed the book with a decisive thud, the sound echoing in the quiet study.

"The Elders will be pleased."

He rose, stretching his limbs. The Qi within his Dantian surged, a comforting warmth spreading through his Meridians. The cultivation journey was arduous, but he was closer than ever to his goals.
