Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2423 - 210: The Great Breakthrough

The firelight was like a red sun on the water, quickly illuminating the sky over Zhang’s Ruins as if the world was burning.

The glaze-colored formation was also lit up, faintly glowing with a fiery red hue.

The formation rapidly operated, then shot out waves of multicolored light, retaliating against those monks.

One Arhat was caught off guard, hit instantly, his golden body shattered, demonic qi dispersed, and soon withered and died.

The cultivators of Zhang’s Ruins had diverse origins and methods; some were righteous, yet many employed underhanded techniques of the Yin Domain.

This unexpected, sudden ambush naturally inflicted some losses on these monks.

During this period, the firelight also burst out of the formation, crashing into several Arhats closest by.

The Arhats couldn’t even react, their bodies quickly engulfed in flames, and in an instant, both their golden bodies and demonic qi were completely incinerated.

For a moment, there was silence both within and outside of the ruins!

"A top-grade Buddha Treasure?"

The Western Great Bodhisattva was slightly surprised, then nodded slightly, turning to the little monk beside him and praising:

"You were right, these rogue cultivators are indeed unexpected, but it doesn’t matter. Even with a thousand tricks and a myriad of means, they are ultimately just trivial details."

Hearing this, the little monk nodded, then looked at the rampaging firelight, which in the blink of an eye had slain dozens of Arhats, unable to hide a look of compassion:

"Why doesn’t Master take action to capture this person? Why let these Arhats die in vain?"

The Western Great Bodhisattva heard this, and with a compassionate look, gently shook his head:

"This is the tribulation they must face. Even if I intervened now, they would still encounter this tribulation in the future. It’s better to use this as an escape to retrain on the grand path."

"Is that so?"

The little monk seemed half-understanding.

The Western Great Bodhisattva then smiled, pointing to Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva and the firelight in the distance, laughing:

"Look, aren’t these future Buddhas already beginning?"

The little monk looked in the direction of the voice. As they spoke, they saw Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva leap down, stopping before the firelight.

Seeming to sense danger, a figure emerged from the firelight, with a broad and gentle expression but eyes somewhat sinister.

It was none other than the Sect Master of the Laowen Sect, Cheng Lianzi.

Cheng Lianzi sized up Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva, then sneered coldly:

"The Supreme True Buddha failed to attack the Cloud Sky Realm, and now wants to disturb my Zhang’s Ruins? Today I will make sure you can come but not leave!"

Regardless of fighting ability, first, the momentum must be built up.

Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva showed a look of compassion upon hearing this, seemingly feeling sorry for the Arhats slain moments ago, yet his eyes revealed no emotion at all, and he chanted a Buddha’s name softly:

"Supreme True Buddha, Layman is so fierce, his sins entangle him. Wouldn’t it be better to let me help cleanse Layman’s sins and transcend from this mortal world..."

Cheng Lianzi heard this and shouted coldly:

"You demonic monks, if you want to fight, then fight, why waste words! I kindly advise you, yet you refuse to accept, so let’s resolve this in battle!"

Then, he held a fire stone, swinging it like a brick towards Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva, following the movement of the stone, and the firelight turned into a stream of light shooting straight at Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seeing this, Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva dared not slack, immediately raising a flower basket in his hands.

That flower basket was also a top-grade Dao Treasure, flying out of his hands, descending to envelop the fire stone as if to contain it.

The fire stone was formidable, colliding with it, hesitated slightly, and then the two flew back.

However, the flower basket was covered in firelight, while the fire stone remained unharmed.

Seeing this scene, Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva’s expression slightly tightened, glancing over the other bodhisattvas and Taoist masters competing for the Buddha’s son position, seeing them smiling at him ironically, as if waiting for him to make a fool of himself, he coldly snorted:

"You have formidable Buddha Treasures, do I not as well?"

At that moment, he summoned another Buddha Treasure resembling a pestle, hurling it towards Cheng Lianzi.

Cheng Lianzi’s cultivation realm was extremely deep; though not yet at the late stage of Crossing Tribulation, it was very close.

Seeing the Dao Treasure coming, he was also unperturbed, employing a technique, his figure flickered, dispersing like firelight.

The Dao Treasure struck Cheng Lianzi, bursting into light, but returned without success.

Below in the ruins.

The masters of Golden Water Pond, Yutang Prefecture, Illusion Sky Realm, and Fan Fenglei stood at the entrance, watching the battle above, all showing bewildered and surprised expressions:

"I never thought Taoist Friend Cheng would be so formidable!"

"Indeed, before when he was easily captured by the Ruins Master, I thought his top position within the ruins was undeserved. But now it seems it’s not that Cheng Lianzi is weak, but the Ruins Master is too powerful..."

Hearing this, everyone inevitably recalled the scene where Cheng Lianzi was forced to concede by a single hit from the Ruins Master, all nodding in agreement.

If they were in his place, facing Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva’s top-grade Dao Treasure, they might be powerless to resist.

Yet Cheng Lianzi managed to handle it with just a fire stone, moving seamlessly, not only holding his ground but rolling with ease.

This proves that Cheng Lianzi’s strength may have been sorely underestimated by them.

"Everyone, don’t just stand by and watch, Taoist Friend Cheng is already fighting, we shouldn’t fall behind."

At this moment, Yin Tianzhi suddenly spoke up.

As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Lianzi, who was fiercely battling the bodhisattva in the sky, feeling a bit complicated in his heart.

Among the leaders of the forces in Zhang’s Ruins, he was most wary of this one, yet he didn’t expect when faced with this major battle, he would be so brave and powerful, whereas those he thought he could align with like Fan Fenglei and the Master of Illusion Sky Realm, seemed lackluster by comparison.
