Longevity Strange Immortal-Chapter 608 - 36: What It Means to Be a One-Man Army!
After all cultivators in the Heavenly Court were trapped in the Causality Cycle, the fall of the Immortal Realm gradually approached.
On the surface, Li Mo’s side had already lost completely, not only failing to obtain the Three Taoist Ancestors’ remnant but also being seized by Maitreya Buddha.
The next four to five centuries would be a struggle between Buddha and Demon.
Once the sea of corpses engulfs the Immortal Realm, the timeline would fully collapse, and the Master of Time would devour the ripened fruit in one gulp.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Master of Time, all of Li Mo’s actions were meaningless.
After all, no matter how Li Mo laid out his plans, he remained trapped between the Immortal and Mortal Realms, like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape the master’s net.
Bang, bang, bang.
After a series of earth-shaking tremors, Nirvana broke into the Devil Sect’s territory.
Looking around, the territory was full of bizarrely shaped demon cultivators, madly slaying each other, with layers of white bones everywhere.
Corpses piled up, arranging an extremely complex array.
Maitreya Buddha could see that the Demon Ancestor was ready to cut off the tail and escape, though it was merely exchanging one cage for another.
If he couldn’t step into the Heavenly Dao by devouring the Demon Ancestor, he would have no choice but to reincarnate.
"Amitabha Buddha, every evil path deserves extermination by everyone."
Maitreya Buddha muttered to himself, spreading Infinite Buddha Light, signaling the Arhats to pour into the Devil Sect’s territory for a purge, forcing the Demon Ancestor to show himself.
"Amitabha Buddha."
Suddenly, Maitreya Buddha noticed someone standing in the mountains, gazing afar.
The Demon Ancestor hid in the shadows, his features unclear, muttering softly, "Causality is in chaos, all is chaos..."
He stretched out his finger.
Demonic Qi soared into the sky, and everywhere it passed, countless deceitful objects were born within grass, wood, mountains, and stones.
Maitreya Buddha did not act hastily but sat cross-legged under the Bodhi Tree in contemplation, continuously absorbing the white bones left by the dead demons and ghosts.
The bones nourished the Bodhi Tree, spawning a vast amount of Buddha Light.
Maitreya Buddha wielded the Buddha Light, nurturing many Arhats and helping them to achieve Bodhisattvahood.
"A tumultuous change in heaven and earth..."
Maitreya Buddha knew that to extricate himself from the dilemma of heaven and earth’s upheaval, a sacrifice must be made.
The reason the Three Taoist Ancestors survived was that they chose to mutate and spiral out of control, turning themselves into spoiled and rotten ingredients.
Maitreya Buddha was unclear how the Three Taoist Ancestors accomplished this.
He knew that rashly stepping into the Endless Void, even achieving the Heavenly Dao, would lead to relentless assaults by the Master of Time.
The Master of Time would not spare any nourishing ingredient.
Maitreya Buddha decided to nurture a batch of ingredients to the satisfaction of the Master of Time, using the Arhats and Bodhisattvas of Nirvana before devouring the Demon Ancestor.
Once he digested the Demon Ancestor, he would attempt to avoid the gaze of the Master of Time.
As long as he abandoned Li Mo’s meat body, and with Nirvana left in the Immortal Realm to draw attention, there was hope to enter the Endless Void.
"A pity for an unprecedentedly top-quality shell."
"Amitabha Buddha."
A hint of wariness flickered in Maitreya Buddha’s eyes.
If Li Mo hadn’t willingly let himself be seized, he might have had a chance to ascend to Taoist Ancestor with his existing accumulation.
An inexplicable move, as if digging his own grave.
Maitreya Buddha pressed his palms together; the overwhelming Buddha light swept through his body and soul, yet no matter how he checked, he could not find any hidden plot left by Li Mo.
Li Mo’s sudden disappearance was one reason why Maitreya Buddha prepared to abandon the meat body.
Maitreya Buddha was unaware of a cancer cell indistinguishable from others flowing through the blood vessels, wandering between the Five Internal Organs and Six Viscera.
If the cancer cell were magnified a billion times, one would find that it resembled a heart, encased by Spirit Root Worm and forming around Corpse Mountain.
Inside lay the Corpse Mountain Mini World, but the environment within had drastically changed.
One flower, one world.
Li Mo knew Maitreya Buddha had no time to refine the meat body, so he had Da Ai Mi Tian combine with the Spirit Root Worm and Corpse Mountain to masquerade as cells, making it difficult even for an Immortal Ancestor to detect the intricacies of the three Immortal Artifacts.
Of course, to facilitate Maitreya Buddha’s body seizing, Li Mo was already on the brink of death.
The three Immortal Artifacts were also heavily damaged, relying entirely on the innate essence that had surged into them beforehand, and the Corpse Mountain Mini World was even on the verge of collapse.
It should be known that the Corpse Mountain Mini World was just one step away from becoming a larger world, with very complete rules.
Even if it occasionally experienced rise and fall, it had never affected the Spirit Vein within.
But now, the Corpse Mountain Mini World was dead silent.
Layer upon layer of mountains lay without the slightest vitality, most of the spiritual material had withered, and the Plant and Tree Cultivators had hidden deep underground.
In the Gobi Desert, the only abrupt thing was three broken Externalized Dharma Bodies.
The Externalized Dharma Bodies remained motionless; due to a lack of Immortal Spirit Energy replenishment, even the innate essence could only sustain the remaining life force.
It could be said that to set this trap, Li Mo completely destroyed his foundation.
Now, even if he reclaimed his body, he couldn’t return to his peak condition, let alone with his Externalized Dharma Bodies reduced to Rootless Water.
Due to the severe injury to his body and soul, Li Mo’s consciousness lay dormant within the Creation Book.
Such a desperate gambit indicated that he could not control the situation, and perhaps before his consciousness awakened, the Master of Time would have already swallowed the Immortal Realm.
Time passed.
The mountains began to desertify, and the Spiritual Energy in the Corpse Mountain Mini World grew thin.
The three Externalized Dharma Bodies slowly decayed, with their flesh, blood, and bones nourishing the Gobi Desert, barely sustaining an oasis of ten miles.
A sparse forest formed from a dozen birch trees.
A pond, formed from Li Mo’s brain marrow, nourished the grass and wood, and even in the water, a few finger-sized koi could be seen.
The koi stirred up waves, seemingly foretelling the one of the nine hundred and ninety-nine Li Mo sought to grasp.
The soil beside the pond churned.
"Ah~~"
Zhang Guo emerged from the ground, then stared blankly at the Externalized Dharma Bodies.
