Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2577: 261: Collapse (Part 2)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Although the Chaos Origin Substance surrounding the Four Realms began to surge rapidly again almost at the same time, the Formation outside the Four Realms had already been shattered during this interval.
The residual power caused violent tremors within the Four Realms themselves!
Also shaking were the beams connecting to the Four Magic Wands, which emanated from the Four Realms.
The beams trembled, on the verge of collapse!
Wang Ba, who was restrained by the Land-Parting Staff from afar, felt his heart sink to the abyss, yet he was utterly powerless to intervene.
With no time for further thought, he yelled out:
“Endure!”
With a mental command, the Cultivators and Innate Divine Demons behind him at Zhang’s Ruins channeled their remaining strength and swiftly took over the sustenance of the Four Magic Wands from the faltering Four Realms.
Despite this, with the Four Realms weakened, Fanming’s body, ensnared within the whirlpool, uncontrollably plunged deeper into the vortex…
Just as these four beams were about to shatter from the aftermath of Tianshang Buddha’s strike, almost simultaneously, four colossal phantom images materialized within the Four Realms, accompanied by countless Cultivators revealing themselves behind these spectral figures!
It was Heavenly Monarch Chao of the Canlong Realm, Bai Lechan of the Cloud Sky Realm, Xiahou Demon of the Void Demon Realm, and Kong Zen of the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm!
Within the Four Realms, hundreds of thousands, even millions of Cultivators—regardless of their stage, be it Crossing Tribulation, Unification, Void Refining, or Immortal Ascension—now pooled their collective might, striving to prop up the precarious Four ‘Heavenly Pillars’!
These Four ‘Heavenly Pillars’ quickly regained stability, extending directly to Duanhai Cliff and once again bolstering the supply to the Four Magic Wands.
Around the whirlpool, the walls of Duanhai Cliff began to disintegrate at an increasingly rapid pace.
The spreading cracks also contorted swiftly, akin to ice fissures, extending inwards and then outwards into the distance…
Tianshang Buddha’s countenance remained impassive.
For the perpetual peace of the Third Realm Sea, the sacrifice of Supreme True Buddha was endured, a sorrow beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings, even for himself, he bore a profound cost.
Therefore, he would harbor no misplaced pity or hesitation for the minor sacrifices of those before him.
Complete annihilation is the ultimate form of respect and mercy for those who eternally pursue selfish gains!
“Supreme True Buddha!”
He uttered the Buddha name, his eyes reflecting both compassion and detachment. One hand formed a palm before him, enacting profound mercy, while the other gathered myriad rules, pressing down heavily upon the Four Realms!
Should these Four Realms be obliterated, regardless of True Man Taiyi’s actions, Duanhai Cliff would ultimately remain intact, and the greatest threat to Supreme True Buddha would cease to exist.
At this critical juncture, Zhang’s Ruins, seemingly incorrigible, launched forward once more, disgorging a jagged bone sword directly towards Tianshang Buddha!
However, Tianshang Buddha showed no inclination to turn; his expression was cold and resolute. He allowed the bone sword to pierce his corporeal form, yet it was silently deflected mere inches away by a gentle Buddha light.
Without the slightest pause, his Buddha palm continued its trajectory, seizing the Canlong Realm nearest to him!
Even before the Buddha’s palm made contact, it unleashed residual force from its previous strike.
This nascent Canlong Realm tossed violently, much like a leaf caught in a tempest!
Witnessing this palm poised to descend upon the Canlong Realm.
Far beyond Duanhai Cliff, Wang Ba’s gaze deepened with gravity, yet a sudden thought sparked within him.
Instantly, a fissure ripped open within the Canlong Realm.
A colossal azure shadow flashed for a fleeting moment!
In the subsequent instant, an immense and astonishingly vast black curtain silently enveloped Tianshang Buddha, the Four Realms, and the surrounding void of the Realm Sea!
“Is this a technique of True Man Taiyi?”
“The Candle Dragon’s Innate Divine Ability?”
In an instant, Tianshang Buddha lost all awareness of his surroundings. His senses, even divine abilities such as Telepathy or the perception of causality, were all captured, stripped away, and isolated by this sable curtain.
Even his outstretched palm, guided by memory towards a specific direction, offered no sensory feedback.
Nevertheless, he had thoroughly studied Wang Ba, having originated from the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm in his earlier years. Thus, he recognized the fundamental basis of this technique almost immediately.
No trace of joy or sorrow stirred within his heart.
Softly, he chanted:
“Intrinsic nature remains forever clear and serene; the sun and moon perpetually bestow their brilliance!”
At his palm, raised before him, a “卍” symbol materialized at that very moment.
Buddha light erupted!
Immeasurable radiance, infinite life!
In this instant, the Buddha light annihilated all darkness and gloom!
The colossal figure nearby was also bathed in this light!
"Chaos Green Fox!"
A radiant glow emanated from its azure fur, its form slightly smaller than the Tianshang Buddha. Yet, its nine tails unleashed now, the tips alight with foxfire, flickering like purple lightning and blue frost. It was mesmerizing and nimble, clearly exhibiting enhanced power!
Under this radiance, it instinctively retreated on all fours, its bloodied mouth agape, fur standing on end, its crimson eyes mirroring the '卍' symbol within the Buddha's palm, flickering like dying embers!
Filled with dread!
As the Buddha's light shone, the Tianshang Buddha displayed no surprise. His gaze bypassed the Chaos Green Fox, unwavering, and reached out once more towards the Canlong Realm!
At this gesture, the Chaos Green Fox sprang into action like a coiled spring, launching itself toward the Buddha's hand.
It wasn't just the Chaos Green Fox; Zhang's Ruins, staggering behind, also moved to intercept the descending hand.
The Tianshang Buddha's expression remained serene. Without any overt action, the Buddha light on his arm pulsed gently, causing the lunging Chaos Green Fox to cry out and recoil!
