Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2333 - 178: Outbreak

However, the level of danger was similar to what was currently happening.

His heart couldn’t help but rejoice greatly:

"Since this one has appeared, we truly have hope!"

But at this moment, he suddenly saw True Man Taiyi in the sky, bowing toward Heavenly Monarch Chao below and saying in a distant voice:

"Wang Ba, I have seen Master Chao."

"Thank you, Master Chao, for your timely rescue."

"Master, Master Chao?!"

The gaunt old man and the young man in red clothes, among others, were taken aback when they heard Wang Ba’s address to Heavenly Monarch Chao.

And what shocked them even more was that the figure in white robes replied with some helplessness:

"I told you to cultivate well, but why drag yourself into this muddy water?"

They... know each other?

The gaunt old man looked bewildered but then realized, despite his shock, he quickly felt a sense of sudden understanding.

True Man Taiyi and this Heavenly Monarch Chao must not only know each other, but perhaps all of True Man Taiyi’s abilities came from Heavenly Monarch Chao!

"No wonder, no wonder..."

At this moment, he felt he finally understood why Wang Ba had such strength today.

Being taught by a Mahayana Cultivator, it’s only natural that one’s strength would far surpass that of their peers.

This also solved the puzzle in his heart.

After all, he was well-acquainted with the environment of Little Cang World. The emergence of someone like Wang Ba was truly unbelievable.

Meanwhile.

"Master Chao, why are you here?"

Above the Sky Dome, Wang Ba’s figure flickered and landed beside Heavenly Monarch Chao. Seeing that his demeanor remained unchanged, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel both surprised and delighted, asking:

"Weren’t they saying you all are not within the Domain?"

Heavenly Monarch Chao looked at Wang Ba in front of him with a smile, a trace of gratification flashing in his eyes, and instead of answering immediately, he couldn’t help but praise:

"These days, your magical combat with those false monks have all been witnessed by me."

"Your comprehension speed is much faster than I imagined. The various Dharma of our realm, you can perform them effortlessly and with great skill! I was indeed right; you are indeed the most suitable heir for my Canlong Realm."

Wang Ba was no stranger to praise, but upon hearing these words now, he was still worried:

"Tianshang Buddha Lord hasn’t come out yet, and Master Chao has already shown himself. Will it disrupt the original plan?"

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, Heavenly Monarch Chao shook his head slightly:

"You’ve been targeted by that little northern monk. If I didn’t show up, you might have suffered, but it’s not a big issue..."

Wang Ba originally wanted to say he also had his own tricks up his sleeve and might not be able to counterattack successfully, but he had some confidence in protecting himself. However, sensing the other’s concern, he ultimately said nothing.

Meanwhile, a young figure in a purple robe had silently emerged from the void, with a god-like appearance. It was the Master of Cloud Sky Sect, Bai Lechan.

Upon seeing Heavenly Monarch Chao, that beautiful face couldn’t help but show a bit of helplessness as well:

"Senior Chao, you shouldn’t have come out at this time... even if you don’t act, if Taoist Friend Taiyi is in real danger, I would save him first."

In response to these words, Heavenly Monarch Chao remained calm and shook his head slightly:

"He is merely incidental."

"However, your plan is mostly ineffective; Tianshang won’t reveal himself. Without enough bait, he will never come out!"

Wang Ba felt a warmth spread in his heart.

Evidently, according to the plan, Master Chao was supposed to remain hidden, but he revealed himself early out of concern Wang Ba might not be a match for the Northern Great Bodhisattva. Even though he said it was incidental, Wang Ba could feel that it was probably the main reason.

The young man in the purple robe, upon hearing this, naturally discerned the real intention behind the other’s words and wasn’t too annoyed. He simply frowned and quickly responded:

"So does Senior Chao intend to act as the bait?"

Wang Ba also felt a deep sense of unease.

Heavenly Monarch Chao replied casually:

"The big monk isn’t a fool. Since you all want an exchange, naturally you must show some sincerity... Sooner or later, you’ll have to act, so I might as well push them to make a decision!"

Meanwhile.

Above the Sky Dome, the Northern Great Bodhisattva, who retreated in shock, was contemplating retreating stealthily, seeing that no one was paying attention to him.

But the figure in white robes immediately noticed, eyes narrowing slightly, looking at the Northern Great Bodhisattva, his voice turned chilly:

"Little monk, we meet again. You think you can just walk away after harming my disciple?"

"When did I get hurt..."

The complexion of the Northern Great Bodhisattva changed, ready to argue, but immediately recalled the painful experience of having his body torn apart by the opponent’s divine beast before. His heart sank, and without hesitation, he transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the outer realm!

Below, the Lion Beast suddenly soared up, opening its mouth like an endless abyss, and a massive suction force directly pulled the beam of light towards it!

At this moment, the Buddha beads around the neck of the Northern Great Bodhisattva slightly glowed, manifesting a faint shadow of the ’卍’ symbol, emitting specks of light that resisted the suction force, hesitating slightly in mid-air!

Seeing this, the figure in white sneered:

"If Tianshang were to come personally, I might show him some respect, but a mere Dao Treasure can stop me?"

The Lion Beast pressed down with its four legs, then suddenly shot upwards!

Countless heads lunged forward, instantly enveloping the Northern Great Bodhisattva.

With muffled sounds echoing, the Buddha beads began to crack one by one!

Moments away from having all the Buddha beads completely destroyed.

Yet at this instant, the colossal seated Buddha statue in the Outer Realm Void, as if sensing something, slowly opened its eyes, which had been closed since the beginning.

The hands that had presented the ’Fearless Seal’ and ’With Wish Seal’ now gradually transformed into a single hand seal:

’Demon Suppression Seal’!

In the next moment, the Northern Great Bodhisattva, bitten by the myriad Demonic Beasts, instantly transformed into a golden Buddha light, landing in the palm of the seated Buddha statue before him.

"Hmm?!"

Inside the Cloud Sky Realm.

The monks engaged in battle seemed to sense something, all forcing their opponents back, retreating with clasped hands and lowered heads, quietly chanting:

"Supreme True Buddha."

"Welcome, Tianshang Buddha Lord."

Their voices were low, yet seemed vast and boundless.

At this moment, the only Mahayana Cultivator revealing his true form, Heavenly Monarch Chao, also felt something, his eyes penetrating the Realm Membrane, staring directly at the Outer Realm’s seated Buddha.

His heart heavy, simultaneously surprised and doubtful:

"Tianshang Buddha Lord, hiding here?!"

"Is this his Dharma Aspect, or something else?"

Funny enough, though he had interacted with the Supreme True Buddha numerous times, he had never truly seen the true appearance of the Tianshang Buddha Lord.

Because the opponent, who appeared only three times, during the attacks on Canlong Realm, Void Demon Realm, and Cloud Sky Realm, only manifested a beam of Buddha light, leaving him almost powerless to resist.

The last time was during the attack on Cloud Sky Realm, where three Mahayana joined forces, killing many Bodhisattvas and Arhats, making a mutual destruction stance, barely forcing the opponent to retreat.

It was precisely because of the fear of this mysterious yet immensely powerful Tianshang Buddha Lord that despite having gathered various forces, he still felt no certainty in his heart.

Even now, he still lacked assurance, feeling even more uncertain.

Nevertheless, he lightly smiled and spoke to the young man in purple robes:

"Look, once I appear, he also follows suit."

The young man in purple robes said nothing, his mind quickly scanning the surroundings, and soon a flash of determination appeared in his eyes as he shouted:

"All cultivators heed the order!"

"Follow me to battle!"

Before absolute power, any strategy is useless.

Now that the big fish has finally taken the bait, although the timing is not the best in his heart, it has already become unimportant.

Only by withstanding the raging waves can one truly welcome the moment to harvest the big fish!

Otherwise, it leads to the destruction of the dam and the death of the people.

Accompanied by the young man in purple robes’ order, the many cultivators suppressed within the Cloud Sky Arena suddenly rushed out!

Countless beams of light, covering the sky!

Heavenly Monarch Chao still wore a light smile, but in the message to Wang Ba, his inner heaviness was finally revealed:

"Should this battle succeed, so be it... if it doesn’t, it’s not the end; remember, if the situation becomes unfavorable, leave immediately. This is not fleeing but preserving the real opportunity."

"Remember..."

Wang Ba’s heart trembled, unable to resist looking towards the elder.

The elder with white hair fluttering and white robes flapping, gazed far into the outer realm, his eyes devoid of fear but filled with serenity and composure.

In the next moment, this figure had already flown out of the realm, facing the colossal seated Buddha in the Outer Realm Void...

The great battle, finally erupted!
