Chapter 2300: Chapter 167: Hands Tied (2)

The statue’s eyes narrowed slightly, its gaze passing over Wang Ba and settling on the figure of a young man in a purple robe emerging slowly in the rear. Though solemnity was in its eyes, its voice remained utterly calm:

“Sect Leader Bai, it was you who broke the rules first… Moreover, aren’t these rules set by us?”

Wang Ba’s mind swept the rear, and sure enough, he saw the purple-robed youth Bai Lechan walking slowly, passing by Wang Ba, his expression cold as he looked at the grand Buddha statue, and spoke quietly:

“Is that so? Then why haven’t you taken action yet?”

The Eastern Great Bodhisattva paused, then his complexion returned to calmness, speaking in a low voice:

“The time hasn’t come yet, why rush?”

He then stared at the purple-robed youth, seemingly pondering something, and gradually, the expression on the full face of the statue faded, speaking softly:

“This round counts as your victory, but the Buddha treasure and divine beast enforcer must be returned to Wisdom Truth.”

Wang Ba’s expression darkened.

Before he could speak, the purple-robed youth had already sneered coldly:

“What do you mean by ‘counts as our victory’? In magical combat, each relies on their skills; we have already won, so why do you need to say more? Since we’ve won, those Dao treasures and divine beasts are the spoils we’ve earned, why should we return them to you?”

“If you’re not convinced, feel free to come to the Cloud Sky Realm to take them!”

His attitude was resolute, his tone firm, without the slightest hesitation.

The Eastern Great Bodhisattva was stunned by this rebuke, and for a moment, had no words to retort.

Wang Ba was slightly astonished, but soon understood why, despite the Supreme True Buddha launching another attack, the Cloud Sky Realm could still attract so much aid from cultivators around.

Aside from everyone’s awareness of shared fates, Sect Leader Bai of Cloud Sky Sect also played a significant role.

The Eastern Great Bodhisattva took a deep look at the purple-robed youth standing in front of Wang Ba, hands clasped behind his back, looking like a divine figure, and chanted softly:

“Supreme True Buddha… Sect Leader Bai, so confident, just hope you won’t regret when the Realm breaks one day.”

“No need for the monk to worry, everyone in the Cloud Sky Realm is waiting for that day to come.”

The purple-robed youth said flatly.

The statue-like image gradually disappeared.

All around turned white, and Wang Ba reconsidered, finding it had turned into the Void of the Realm Sea, the purple-robed youth standing before him unknowingly.

The Red Bodhisattva across seemed to receive some message, his face showing unwillingness and anger, but ultimately dared not linger, swiftly vanished into the void.

Seeing this, the purple-robed youth turned to Wang Ba, an appreciative smile on his face, nodding:

“Well done, Taoist Friend.”

Wang Ba showed no joy, responding solemnly:

“Thank you, Taoist Brother Bai, earlier that was…”

The purple-robed youth chuckled upon hearing this:

“Merely one of the Eastern Great Monk’s techniques, invisibly capturing one’s mind and spirit into his Buddha Kingdom. Your Primordial Spirit appears robust, but lacks determination slightly, hence why it was captured.”

Wang Ba fell silent a bit, realizing and becoming more wary.

Due to the Dharma Lineage, his Primordial Spirit is indeed solid, surpassing ordinary folks, even comparable to middle-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators, losing not one bit.

Ultimately, it’s quantity over quality; he’s still an early-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivator, barely affected by ordinary magical combat with slight differences, but exposed his shortcomings immediately against beings like the Eastern Great Bodhisattva.

“Two rounds left, can you still handle them, Taoist Friend?”

The purple-robed youth asked with concern.

Wang Ba sensed his Primordial Spirit’s state and responded:

“We’ll see.”

The answer was the same as before facing the Red Bodhisattva; this time, the purple-robed youth wasn’t worried anymore, couldn’t help but clap and laugh:

“Good! Good! Then I will wait for your good news, Taoist Friend!”

With that, he retreated, yet didn’t enter the Realm, instead standing outside to observe.

Apparently, despite forcing back the Eastern Great Bodhisattva, he dared not leave assuredly, serving as deterrence in case the Eastern Great Bodhisattva disregards face and personally ambushes Wang Ba.

This is not impossible, for even he couldn’t resist dealing with that Wisdom Truth Bodhisattva to eliminate future troubles; Taiyi Taoist sees greater potential and threat than Wisdom Truth Bodhisattva, whether or not the Eastern Great Bodhisattva will act depends on his whim.

Wang Ba stood alone in the Void of the Realm Sea, facing numerous Supreme True Buddha’s Bodhisattvas, Arhats, his expression fearless, retracting the many Dao treasures and divine beasts, dispelled the Divine Skills, back to being the previously ordinary Taoist, calmly said:

“Next.”

His voice wasn’t loud, slightly weary, without much imposing power, yet this time, Supreme True Buddha’s side fell silent.

With even the highest of ten Bodhisattvas, the first in Bodhisattva Realm, Wisdom Truth defeated, the remaining Bodhisattvas also lacked confidence.

You look at me, I look at you.

The might of one person caused all Buddhas to falter.

After a while, one Bodhisattva hesitated, flew forth.

Ranked third in Bodhisattva Realm, he came thinking Wang Ba had fought three Bodhisattvas, including the fierce opponent like Wisdom Truth, likely worn down, hoping to take advantage.

Yet the magical combat process was uninspiring, perhaps due to caution, every move was restrained, far from the exciting duel Wang Ba had with Wisdom Truth.

Easily repelled by Wang Ba, he immediately surrendered and fled, fearing Wang Ba would seize his Dao treasures.

Afterward, no one dared to step forth, finally, the Eastern Great Bodhisattva had to personally assign a Bodhisattva to battle.

The outcome was no surprise, perhaps out of fear his Buddha treasure might be claimed by Wang Ba, the Bodhisattva hastily attacked briefly, then instantly surrendered, leaving Wang Ba without a chance.
