CapĂtulo 2331: Chapter 177: Revealed (Part 3)
Upon seeing the golden Buddhaâs Hand, the four Great Bodhisattvas in the arena all showed expressions of ecstasy:
âItâs the Great Bodhisattva!â
At the same moment, in front of the water curtain at the Cloud Sky Arena.
The Purple Robe youthâs gaze slightly tightened, unable to resist standing up:
âThe Northern Great Bodhisattva has also enteredâŠâ
A faint hint of joy appeared in his eyes:
âGood! This Taiyi truly is a lucky star, attracting two Great Bodhisattvas all by himself!â
âIs there more? On the side of the Supreme True Buddha, is there more?â
He couldnât help but look towards the realm outside.
In the void, the monks emerging from the Seated Buddha finally began to decrease in number.
Yet, he did not see the threatening presence that he anticipated, hence his vigilance did not lessen.
Observing the water curtain, the cultivators sent from the Cloud Sky Realm began to falter, and even Crossing Tribulation cultivators were starting to sustain casualties. His gaze turned solemn, but he still didnât order cultivators to intervene.
âSect Leader Bai, if we donât aid them now, they wonât be able to hold on!â
The surrounding cultivators, seeing the changes in the water curtain, couldnât help but feel heavy-hearted and anxious.
Almost simultaneously, the Taoist Field began to shake violently.
The attack on the field became increasingly intense.
Yet the Purple Robe youth kept his gaze fixed on the realm outside, his voice low:
âWait a bit longer, wait a bit longerâŠâ
Above the Sky Dome.
Wang Baâs wings unfolded behind him, his figure paused in midair, his gaze extremely serious as he looked at the gray-robed monk slowly walking out from the realm membrane hole, his heart sank:
âNorthern Great Bodhisattva!â
Though his heart was heavily burdened, it was not unexpected.
They had already interacted twice; obviously, he had been targeted by the other party. Now that the other party appeared again, it was indeed normal.
However, the timing of the appearance made Wang Ba feel something was amiss.
âAt this moment, the Lord of Six Paths is gravely injured, hasnât come yet; the Western Great Bodhisattva oversees the Buddha Kingdom; the most important task for the remaining three Great Bodhisattvas is not to trouble me but to coordinate the whole situation to compel the Mahayana cultivators to emergeâŠâ
âNow, all three Great Bodhisattvas have personally stepped in; how will they compel the Mahayana cultivators?â
Of course, it could also be that my consecutive actions caused significant losses to the Supreme True Buddhaâs people, and among Bodhisattva Realm figures, no one could restrain me, forcing the Great Bodhisattvas to personally handle it.
Sensing the over twenty Arhats and eight or nine Bodhisattvas in his sleeveâŠ
Regarding this conjecture, Wang Ba had no choice but to acknowledge it somewhat.
These thoughts, though plentiful, occurred in just an instant.
The gray-robed monk came from outside the realm, his gaze wholly on Wang Ba, with a hint of gloominess in his eyes.
This cultivatorâs Spiritual Sense acuity and cautious mind were unparalleled among cultivators at his stage.
Even though he deliberately concealed his aura across the realm membrane and used different means, he didnât expect that this cultivator would dodge him immediately.
Three times in a row, he had achieved nothing in front of this cultivator, even though this cultivator was far inferior to himâŠ
His mood gloomy, his expression unchanged, he looked at Wang Ba and uttered in a low voice:
âLayman Taiyi, now the Cloud Sky Realm is surrounded by my Buddha, escaping is no longer possible. Why not submit to my Buddha? We may bear karmic burdens, but can deliver all beings from sufferingâŠâ
Wang Baâs expression remained unchanged as he interrupted:
âBig monk, Iâm afraid your people may not necessarily take down the Cloud Sky Realm!â
Upon hearing this, the gray-robed monk merely chuckled lightly:
âIs that so?â
âThe Cloud Sky Realm seeks an exchange; do you have that many pieces?â
Wang Baâs heart tightened, his gaze showed an unusual hue.
The other seemed to understand the purpose of the Cloud Sky Realm, yet still chose to enter the realm. Could it be they truly believed their Bodhisattvas and Arhats were numerous enough not to care?
Seeing the other not in a hurry to act, he was happy to delay, taking the opportunity to voice his doubts:
âWhy doesnât the Tianshang great monk appear? Is it fear?â
Upon hearing this, the gray-robed monkâs face lost its compassionate look and gradually showed anger, he clasped his hands in front and declared a Buddhaâs name in a low voice:
âSupreme True Buddha⊠Layman, to speak sinfully, not repressing it even harms; the Tianshang Buddha Lord is truly the Buddha reincarnated, creating sinful words, even I canât keep you alive!â
Immediately, his expression darkened, reaching out!
Though it was an ordinary hand, after reaching out, it seemed like a gigantic golden Buddhaâs Hand, grasping from afar!
Wang Ba was prepared, his wings spread out, about to fly away.
Yet at this moment, invisible pressure suddenly descended, blocking all around!
As if bearing ten thousand mountains!
Wang Baâs mind shook, quickly raised the Land-Parting Staff.
The golden Buddhaâs Hand had already smashed onto Wang Ba; at this moment, the usually immovable Earth Yellow Treasure Light shook slightly, as if struggled to support!
âHow can this be?!â
Wang Baâs heart shuddered!
Since he started using the Land-Parting Staff, he had never seen such a situation!
In the meantime, the gray-robed monk silently approached, his expression a mix of anger and serenity, he spoke softly:
âThough land is vast, the treasure seems flawed; once the flaw is found, it can be handledâŠâ
The Land-Parting Staff has flaws?
Wang Baâs heart sank.
The Land-Parting Staff indeed has flaws; it possesses only twenty-nine Innate Cloud Bans, compared to the thirty-six of the Wind-Driving Staff, seven are lacking.
Just that in past usage, its efficacy was unimpeded, even in the face of Taoist Man it achieved success, so he never paid much attention.
Unexpectedly, it was the Northern Great Bodhisattva who uncovered the flaw.
It wasnât necessarily that Taoist Man lacked compared to the Northern Great Bodhisattva, but perhaps due to different systems.
Thoughts whirled rapidly, he dared not delay, at once drew out the sword sheath Dao Treasure, immortal power initiated.
The gray-robed monk, having revealed the flaw of the Land-Parting Staff with a slap, swiftly charged, then extended another palm towards the unavoidable Wang Ba!
His gaze was cold, with a hint of triumph.
This blow, he had ninety percent confidence in capturing the opponent!
At this critical moment.
The gray-robed monkâs mind alarm bells rang wildly!
Before realizing, a deep lion roar resounded by his ear!
Though only one sound, it was akin to thousands of Demonic Beasts roaring together!
His heart couldnât help but shudder, his palmâs power dissipated, he retreated in shock.
The powerful sound waves instantly swept through the entire Cloud Sky Realm!
Those walkers and ordinary demon slaves who rushed in, upon hearing the lion roar, unexpectedly died of fright!
Even the Arhats looked fearful, their Golden Bodies trembled!
The gray-robed monk turned back anxiously.
Unexpectedly saw on the distant ground, a fierce lion had appeared at some point, standing proudly, thousands of heads swayed like a lionâs mane in the wind!
A small figure stood atop the fierce lionâs head, white robes billowing, blowing the long hair.
Those deep, ocean-like eyes watched him indifferently.
And hearing the lionâs roar, Wang Ba, who was suddenly alerted in his heart, saw the fierce lion and the white-clothed elder standing on its head, felt both astonished and elated:
âMaster Chao?!â
