And Bu Chan was also due to the nourishment of the Nine-Colored Divine Soil for his Lifebound Spirit Plant, the 'Nine-Colored Gourd', causing his Cultivation Base and realm to skyrocket.
However, the speed of this growth is somewhat exaggerated.
Wang Ba was not overly surprised.
Back when the Cloud Sky Realm assisted the Canlong Realm in rebuilding its Domain, they cultivated a middle-stage Rob Cultivator in a very short time. This person also used the Spirit Plant 'Ancient Cyan Sky Wood' to enter the Tao, initially having a Cultivation Base of at most Nascent Soul, but with the help of the Nine-Colored Divine Soil, their Cultivation Base advanced as easily as drinking water or eating food, astonishingly fast.
Of course, such an increase practically has no sustainability and is almost forever unable to reach the Mahayana Realm or achieve Cultivation Ascension to The Heavens. But for ordinary cultivators, reaching late-stage Crossing Tribulation is already a lifelong limit.
At this time, from the distant, broken Canlong Realm, appeared the stumbling figure of Heavenly Monarch Chao.
"Master Chao!"
Even though he had some expectation, Wang Ba was still overjoyed!
Earlier, that blow from Tianshang Buddha Lord was evidently executed with full power, at the Profound Immortal stage. Wang Ba had no confidence in the survival of both Canlong Realm and Heavenly Monarch Chao.
But fortunately, Chong Hua arrived at the last moment, saving Canlong Realm and Heavenly Monarch Chao.
Heavenly Monarch Chao is ultimately still a Mahayana Cultivator; although greatly drained, he quickly recovered a bit upon emerging, his form flickered slightly, landing beside Wang Ba without time for words. His gaze quickly fell on the gradually dimming Buddha light where Canlong Realm had been, his expression grave, his speech rapid:
"What's happening now?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba's expression slightly darkened and he replied:
"Like a centipede that doesn't die easily... everyone is on guard against Tianshang's last counterattack before dying."
Sure enough.
Beyond the remaining Three Great Realms, Zhang's Ruins reacted and without hesitation, condensed the White Bone Bone Sword once more, stabbing into the increasingly dim Buddha light!
The sword, sharp as ever, pierced the Buddha light.
Instantly, it shattered the remaining Buddha light completely!
Though the White Bone Bone Sword didn't penetrate much further before being stopped.
Within the Buddha light, a figure was revealed.
The significantly smaller statues of Reclining Buddha, Seated Buddha, and Standing Buddha now stood tall in the void.
These were the same Three Dharma Realms as before.
The Standing Buddha clasped its hands together, capturing the incoming White Bone Bone Sword within its palms.
Within the center of the three Buddhas, Tianshang Buddha Lord's ethereal form silently sat, hands clasped together at the front.
His face showed none of the emotions Wang Ba had expected such as discouragement, anger, or despair, but rather calmness and composure.
Gone was the forceful, high-and-mighty demeanor, replaced by tranquility.
His gaze passed over the cultivators of the Three Great Realms, Chong Hua, and the chaotic sea cultivators emerging from Fanming...
Ultimately, it landed on Wang Ba at the back of the crowd.
Softly chanting a Buddha name, with lowered brow and head, his voice aged:
"Supreme True Buddha... Layman Taiyi, is indeed the tribulation of my Buddhism."
Upon hearing Tianshang Buddha Lord's words, around them, the Mahayana and Crossing Tribulation cultivators instinctively took note and looked towards Wang Ba, without a speck of doubt towards the Buddha Lord's claim.
If not for Supreme True Man Taiyi facilitating and simultaneously aiding with Zhang's Ruins and chaotic sea cultivators, the Four Great Realms might join hands easily, but under the heavy attack of Tianshang Buddha Lord, even self-preservation would have been difficult.
Although each realm sacrificed greatly, it was ultimately within acceptability.
More importantly, Duanhai Cliff was broken, severing the roots of the Supreme True Buddha.
Once this Tianshang Buddha Lord falls, the Supreme True Buddha can be completely eradicated.
If not for the fear of the might of the Three Dharma Realms, perhaps some cultivators would have already tested how much power the dying Tianshang Buddha Lord still holds.
Only Wang Ba's expression shifted slightly, sensing a subtle danger.
He suddenly shouted:
"Senior Bu Gui!"
Zhang's Ruins sharply withdrew the Bone Sword, then slashed at the Three Dharma Realms anew.
Simultaneously, Wang Ba slightly furrowed his brow, thoughts racing:
"With Duanhai Cliff broken, Tianshang having lost his supply, and forced out of his united state, what means will he have once the Three Dharma Realms are also powerless to supply him?"
As he pondered, around Tianshang Buddha Lord, the Three Dharma Realms suddenly erupted!
The three Buddhas simultaneously struck, hitting the chest of Zhang's Ruins and forcefully blasting it far away!
In that instant.
In the midst of the three Buddhas, a faint trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the Tianshang Buddha Lord.
Then, without hesitation, he joined his palms and silently recited the Buddhist scriptures.
At this moment, the three Buddhas, like reflections on water, slightly rippled and elongated like flowing water, and then merged into the small figure of the Tianshang Buddha Lord's shadow in the center!
"What is happening?!"
The limping Taoist Man's face was heavy as he watched this scene, with a look of surprise and doubt:
"These three Buddha statues give me the feeling, like that black hand that crushed my true self back then..."
Hesitating for a moment, he eventually dared not step forward easily.
On the Cloud Sky Realm side, Bai Lechan saw this scene, his face equally filled with shock and confusion:
"What kind of technique is this?"
"Why are these Three Great Realms reversing onto Tianshang's body?"
The cultivators were filled with uncertainty and doubt, but apart from the remaining measures left by the Sea of Chaos Realm here that retained their own state, the cultivators from the other four realms and the Innate Divine Demons had not yet fully recovered. Even if they wanted to stop it now, they were completely powerless.
Only Chong Hua!
His gaze slightly tensed, and at the instant when the Three Great Realms entered the shadow of the Tianshang Buddha Lord, he had been quietly waiting for the opportunity and finally grasped a flaw!
A pair of golden double pupils quickly rotated.
The left eye suddenly shone brightly like a mirror, reflecting the scene of the Tianshang Buddha Lord absorbing the Three Great Realms, faintly outlining the sparse and dense parts within.
In the right eye, the brilliance of the Double Pupil Treasure Technique also suddenly shone!
At the instant the right eye lit up.
Chong Hua unleashed a golden-red stream of light like a long rainbow across the sun, a comet striking the moon!
The power generated at this moment was not inferior to the Chaos Green Fox from earlier, even surpassing it, already reaching the realm of the Human Immortal Fourth Layer!
Perceiving Chong Hua's action, the face of the Tianshang Buddha Lord, who was absorbing the Three Great Realms, finally displayed a trace of imperceptible heaviness. He could clearly sense that some weaknesses emerged due to absorbing the Three Great Realms, and had been discovered by this special existence with a somewhat strange aura. His gaze subconsciously swept over the golden-red stream of light:
"Is it another incarnation of Taiyi?"
"It seems not to cultivate rules or Buddhist law, somewhat peculiar..."
Slightly shocked in heart, but he soon calmed down.
As that golden-red stream of light was about to strike the Tianshang Buddha Lord, who was still absorbing the Three Great Realms.
The Tianshang Buddha Lord suddenly raised his hand at this moment!
His palm, at this instant, turned from illusionary to substantial, overlapping with the shadow of the other three Buddhas' palms, facing the golden-red stream of light head-on, as if to cover the sky and the sun!
In this scenario, both time and distance could be considered as within a flash; it's at the very last moment, the speed of the golden-red stream of light suddenly increased again, like lightning, it instantly reached behind the Tianshang Buddha Lord, and from the light stream, a punch exploded out!
The punch like thunder, yet as if magma erupts!
Meanwhile, adept in magical combat, the expression of the Tianshang Buddha Lord did not change, as if long anticipated, almost at the moment when the golden-red stream of light flashed apart, from behind him arose the shadow of the three Buddhas' backs...
The punch containing the utmost brilliance could no longer be withdrawn, but it made the final slight deviation in this seemingly impossible extreme, aiming at the Tianshang Buddha Lord's arm.
Devoid of extravagance!
BOOM——
Golden-red blood energy exploded like a burst!
Even at this moment, overshadowing the Buddha light!
A brief silence.
The golden-red stream of light attacked and retreated instantly, revealing Chong Hua's figure with a heavy expression in the nearby void.
The golden-red blood energy gradually faded away.
The Three Great Realms were no longer visible.
Only the silhouette of a one-armed old monk was revealed.
He stood amidst the vast blood energy, with a faint Buddha light around him, blocking everything outside.
The illusionary body, at this moment, was completely solidified.
He slowly raised one of his palms, holding it vertically in front, gazing at Chong Hua with straightforward eyes and sincerely praised:
"Layman, what a skilful maneuver."
At this moment, Chong Hua's face darkened!
