Chapter 261: Collapse

Boom!

A significant portion of the Duanhai Cliff’s face silently fractured and disintegrated, plummeting into the swirling vortex below, pulled by its immense suction and emitting a sound that shook the heavens.

In the vicinity, the scarce Chaos Origin Substance was drawn into the vortex between the Six Root Magic Staffs, coalescing into a colossal whirlwind. The churning waves resembled an ocean tide, with the eye of this tempest precisely at the vortex’s core.

Deep within the vortex, Fanming’s form bobbed and swayed. He struggled to spread his wings, tilting his head back to issue a furious cry!

Four colossal beams of light, akin to immense iron chains, bisected the void. They firmly connected the four Magic Staffs to the Four Great Realms.

Wang Ba stood resolutely in the void next to one of these luminous pillars. His azure robes billowed wildly in the tempest, yet his stance remained unyielding. At this instant, his Spiritual Sense surveyed everything around him. He perceived the climactic battles unfolding across the Four Great Realms and tracked the movement of innumerable intricate golden pennants adorning the walls of Duanhai Cliff… With swift, practiced motions, he manipulated his fingers, his eyes burning with intelligent light. He drew sustenance from the Land-Parting Staff, a gift from cultivators and the Innate Divine Demons at his back, to rapidly replenish his own vitality.

With the presence of the Four Great Realms, the burden on them was undeniably lessened.

Concurrently, an expression devoid of surprise settled on Wang Ba’s face.

Just as he had anticipated, the critical factor in breaching Duanhai Cliff rested with the Four Great Realms.

There were inherent limitations to mortal prowess.

While breaking through Duanhai Cliff might not be insurmountable with the combined strength of numerous cultivators, its complete destruction, even with the formidable Six Candle Stick of Tongyou, borderlined on impossibility.

Only at the nexus points of the Four Great Realms, intrinsically linked to Duanhai Cliff’s very essence, would a continuous flow of Chaos Origin Substance be sustained for the Four Great Realms as long as Duanhai Cliff remained intact.

Therefore, by linking the Four Great Realms with the four Magic Staffs, he was indirectly leveraging Duanhai Cliff’s own power against itself.

This was akin to employing one’s sharpest spear to pierce one’s own unyielding shield.

While the collective power emanating from the Four Great Realms might not rival the sheer numbers of the cultivators, the ingenious exploitation of the symbiotic relationship between the Four Great Realms and Duanhai Cliff, coupled with the support of onlookers, rendered Duanhai Cliff’s complete annihilation a mere matter of time.

Contemplating this, his expression grew somber.

Currently, their most pressing deficiency was time!

Yet, at this juncture, there was truly little more they could do.

With a subtle shift of his Spiritual Sense, he swiftly focused on the engagement beyond the Four Great Realms, specifically observing the conflict between Tianshang Buddha Lord and Zhang’s Ruins’ ‘Bu Gui’.

No, to characterize it as a battle would be an overstatement; it bore a stronger resemblance to a one-sided execution.

Under the relentless assault from Tianshang Buddha Lord, Zhang’s Ruins seemed incapable of mustering any defense, much like their previous encounters, barely holding on through sheer physical fortitude.

“The immortal corpse inhabited by Senior Bu Gui is truly extraordinary.”

A fleeting thought surfaced instinctively in Wang Ba’s mind.

Prior to their unification, the Three Dharma Realms, led by Tianshang Buddha Lord, could contend with Zhang’s Ruins but were utterly incapable of inflicting any damage. Even after unification, with Tianshang Buddha Lord’s supreme dominance across the Realm Sea, he still could not breach Zhang’s Ruins’ formidable defenses.

This fact alone underscored the incredible potency of this immortal vessel.

It was a regrettable pity that ‘Bu Gui’ was not a suitable match for this immortal corpse, failing to unleash its full latent power.

Fortunately, Bu Gui had, by some means, managed to contain Tianshang Buddha Lord, preventing his immediate escape.

However, the opposing side had clearly recognized their strategic maneuver. With a swift and incisive assessment, Tianshang Buddha Lord immediately pinpointed the crucial element to disrupt their plan – the Four Great Realms!

Disregarding Zhang’s Ruins, he raised his palm, directing his attack squarely at the Four Great Realms.

Wang Ba’s expression flickered!

At that precise moment, a sudden premonition struck him. His gaze shifted infinitesimally, focusing on a critical juncture within Zhang’s Ruins:

“It’s the Corpse-folding!”

“It has indeed successfully achieved the Mahayana stage!”

Erupting from within Zhang’s Ruins, the Corpse-folding, nurtured by the primordial waters of the Realm Sea, lunged forth. Its aura of impending doom permeated the air, rushing towards Tianshang Buddha Lord, but was swiftly evaded through Tianshang Buddha Lord’s skillful maneuver!

In the blink of an eye, a maiden clad in green appeared in its stead. After unleashing a potent Double Pupil Treasure Technique, she calmly executed another, even as Tianshang Buddha Lord observed her, smoothly making her escape…

“Yu Yu!”

Wang Ba exclaimed, a mixture of shock and delight washing over him.

Though the encounter was brief, he immediately recognized Yu Yu’s unique aura. Astonishingly, she had attained the peak of the Eighth Tier, reaching a level comparable to those in the late stages of Tribulation Crossing.

Ultimately, the might of the Immortal Bloodline proved to be too astonishing, facilitating such tremendous progress in a concise period. The Double Pupil Treasure Technique within the right eye, in particular, enabled a clear perception of Tianshang Buddha Lord's profound dread even when facing this move across the void. Although Wang Ba expressed some surprise at the potency of Yu Yu's Double Pupil Treasure Technique, he wasn't entirely taken aback. Yu Yu’s right eye contained an eye once chosen by Tibo from Immortal Monarch Luhe; such a formidable presence, even if diminished and despite the bearing Yu Yu's strength appearing exceedingly low in comparison, was sufficient to make even Profound Immortals hesitate. 'It's just regrettable that Yu Yu likely cannot sustain another use so soon...' Wang Ba mused secretly, but his contemplation was fleeting before his expression shifted once more! After effortlessly handling the successive assaults from Zhang's Ruins, the Corpse-folding, and Yu Yu, Tianshang Buddha Lord maintained focus. Despite exhibiting fear, he immediately turned and renewed his assault on the formation beyond the Four Great Realms! At that precise moment, the phantoms of the three merged Dharma Realms materialized in unison, overlapping and silently striking the formation encircling the Four Great Realms. Bang! Resembling a quivering soap bubble, the formation enveloping the entire Four Great Realms shattered at this instant, predictably and rapidly drawing forth the surrounding Chaos Origin Substance as it disintegrated!
