Longevity Strange Immortal-Chapter 617 - 40: Undying Golden Body and Immortal Body
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The Demon Ancestor shook his head slightly, a complex expression in his eyes.
Most of the cultivators Li Mo brought from the Immortal Realm could be named as if buried in the depths of his mind, were long-forgotten memories.
Unfortunately, everything was utterly destroyed in the cataclysm.
Leaning against the Immortal Mountain, the Demon Ancestor’s aura had not a hint of evil. Instead, it exuded a sense of seeing through the worldly matters.
"Maitreya Buddha, you don’t really think that devouring me will free you from the Immortal and Mortal Realms, do you?"
Maitreya Buddha approached the Demon Ancestor with a smile at the corner of his mouth. The overwhelming Buddha Light shone upon the Immortal Mountain, piercing through the thick clouds overhead.
The Demon Ancestor lowered his head, staring at his fingertips, where a cancer cell floated up and down.
"Li Mo let you come to devour me, and you did so thoughtlessly. Don’t you think there’s a problem? Or are you, as the Future Buddha, starting to get senile?"
Boom.
Maitreya Buddha stopped in his tracks, revealing a ferocious grin.
"Your tone is too similar to his, Amitabha. I almost thought it was your plot."
"Hahaha..."
The Demon Ancestor laughed up to the sky, the exposed black light directly oppressing Maitreya Buddha.
"Maitreya, you overestimate yourself."
"Do you Three Ancestors of the Buddhist Sect really think that the so-called reincarnation magic technique was a sudden flash of insight under the Bodhi Tree?"
The Demon Ancestor’s flesh and bones suddenly mutated, arms sprouted from his ribs.
"Do not damage my Dao Heart!!!"
Maitreya Buddha struck with a palm, a swastika word heavily flew towards the Demon Ancestor.
The Demon Ancestor dodged to the side, and the swastika left a gap on the surface of the corpse sea, quickly filled again by the endless deceitful objects.
"You Three Ancestors reincarnated only twelve times to avoid the cataclysm, while I traversed the timeline forty-five times."
"If not for fearing the attention of the Master of Time, I wouldn’t have bothered dragging you along."
Maitreya Buddha clenched his teeth until they bled.
Thinking back to the scene when the three of them comprehended the Dao, he immediately realized it was the Demon Ancestor’s doing, who had dragged them into the situation.
"The Three Taoist Ancestors were stronger and chose to smash themselves to observe the twisted Heavenly Dao of the Endless Void, eventually transforming into unmentionable deceitful objects."
"You should thank me. Otherwise, how could you witness the great horror of the world."
Forty-five heads grew from the cracks in the Demon Ancestor’s exposed spine, each representing a past life.
"Amitabha, so you were the one who let Li Mo allow me to seize his body?"
The Demon Ancestor withdrew his emotions, scrutinizing Maitreya Buddha with complexity, "No, I don’t even know what that guy is thinking?"
"He’s an anomaly among Li Mo’s, self-proclaimed as the Grave Digger, but I prefer to call him [Mad Taoist]."
The Demon Ancestor continued, "Many of his ideas are such that only a madman would consider them, yet he insists on practicing them all, truly fascinating."
"Do you think he’s still alive?"
Maitreya Buddha controlled the Buddha Light within his body, searching for Li Mo’s traces.
"Not too sure."
The Demon Ancestor pondered while touching his chin, "He should be alive. I gave up the opportunity to enter the next timeline just to meet the Mad Taoist. If he’s already dead, it would be too boring."
Maitreya Buddha was on pins and needles, as if Li Mo could burst out any moment.
"Demon Ancestor, if you want to keep surviving, give me the magic technique for traversing timelines, and I’ll let you go."
"Forget it, you must think I’m tired of living."
The Demon Ancestor stepped forward, his body disappearing in an instant.
An anomaly enveloped the Immortal Mountain, flattening all the structures in the Devil Sect’s domain, causing the sea of corpses to collapse, and the Buddha Light to show signs of defeat.
"You!!!"
Maitreya Buddha retreated several steps under the Demon Ancestor’s assault.
"Demon Ancestor, have you reached the realm of Heavenly Dao?"
The Demon Ancestor chuckled, demonic qi leaking from the collapsing heavens and earth.
Unexpectedly for Maitreya Buddha, he found himself at a disadvantage against the Demon Ancestor, even having an illusion of being gradually overwhelmed.
"Impossible, you haven’t reached the Heavenly Dao."
"There’s a gap even among Immortal Ancestors."
The Demon Ancestor pressed a hand down, forcing Maitreya Buddha to fall to his knees.
"Immortal Body? Demon Ancestor, how many Immortal Bodies do you possess?!!"
"Twenty-six types of Immortal Bodies."
As the Demon Ancestor spoke, his flesh and bones mutated again, his body acquiring numerous bizarre features, his limbs continuing to extend.
Clearly not deceitful objects, yet already plunged into an unspeakable state.
Maitreya Buddha snorted coldly, enduring the demonic qi as he switched from defense to offense, "Demon Ancestor, you’ve deviated onto the wrong path, completely severing the possibility of promoting to the Heavenly Dao."
He could see that the Demon Ancestor’s Immortal Bodies were forcibly pieced together, accumulating over numerous cycles, turning into a grotesque monster.
"Heavenly Dao? If I could achieve the Heavenly Dao, I would have taken that step long ago."
The countless arms of the Demon Ancestor swung like a storm, driving Maitreya Buddha to exhaustion.
"As soon as you step into the Heavenly Dao, you would inevitably attract the Master of Time. I’ve tried arranging, even leaving the Immortal and Mortal Realms, but to no avail..."
He’s tried various ways to lay a plot, but all ended in failure without exception.
It was the Demon Ancestor who initiated the Causality Cycle, being the biggest fish in the pond.
The Master of Time may not care about the Three Taoist Ancestors, but He would never spare any Li Mo.
"Li Mo, did you know? My experiences are completely different from yours."
The Demon Ancestor muttered to himself as if conversing with Li Mo through Maitreya Buddha, yet his attacks against Maitreya Buddha did not cease.
"Demon Ancestor, we can cooperate!"
The Demon Ancestor paid no heed to Maitreya Buddha’s words, continuing, "In one of my past lives, the first cataclysm lasted for four thousand years, plunging the entire mortal world into suffering."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the cataclysm won’t end until both the Immortal and Mortal Realms are obliterated."
Roar!
Maitreya Buddha roared helplessly, tearing his flesh apart as a golden skeleton emerged, only to burn his own body and soul.
The Demon Ancestor withstood Maitreya Buddha’s counterattack, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
"Li Mo, Li Mo..."
"Originally, the Master of Time would leave after devouring ninety percent of life, but because of me, but because I was greedy and afraid of death ah ah ah!!!"
The Demon Ancestor’s arms were covered with eyes, punching Maitreya Buddha deep into the ground.
"After discovering the existence of the Master of Time, I used the Word-to-law to return ten thousand years ago. It was I who actively initiated the Causality Cycle."
The numerous eyes exploded.
The Demon Ancestor clutched his head, blood from his mouth and nose mixed with brain matter.
"I thought the Master of Time hadn’t noticed me, hoping to use the Causality Cycle as a chance to transcend the Immortal and Mortal Realms."
"In the end... the Master of Time targeted the Immortal and Mortal Realms."
Maitreya Buddha realized the Demon Ancestor could not be confronted; the latter’s strength was already Perfect Immortal Ancestor Realm, and with the Immortal Body, he was comparable to the Heavenly Dao.
He opened his mouth, attempting to calm the Demon Ancestor’s emotions.
However, a strange voice emerged from his mouth, "Demon Ancestor, Chunyangzi ended the first cataclysm with your arrangements, right?"
"Li Mo, you really aren’t dead. I did guide Chunyangzi to interfere with the cataclysm, but it was completely useless, unable to stop the cataclysm."
The Demon Ancestor retracted his aura, his injuries healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Maitreya Buddha was incredulous.
He had severely injured Li Mo’s soul, and now his body was still under control, how did Li Mo resurrect right under his eyes?
Maitreya Buddha was deeply terrified, realizing from beginning to end there were two Li Mos playing the game.
The two were cultivators walking in time, clearly confident in themselves, otherwise, Li Mo wouldn’t have actively asked him to seize his body.
Maitreya Buddha abandoned his body without hesitation, a relic emerging from his brow.
Whoosh.
Maitreya Buddha’s soul didn’t dare linger, fleeing into the sea of corpses in disgrace.
The two did not spare Maitreya Buddha a glance, only harboring hostility towards each other.
"Demon Ancestor, what a pretense."
"We’re not even natives of this world; what pretense of being a savior is there? At most, you regret the death of your friends and family, but it’s impossible to pity the life in the Immortal and Mortal Realms."
"Keh keh keh."
The Demon Ancestor took out corpse wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Li Mo, you’ve seized the infinite fortunes of all the past Li Mos, it’s about time you return them to me. With your shallow accumulation, you can’t possibly turn the tables."
The Demon Ancestor adjusted the structure of his body and soul, merging the twenty-six types of Immortal Bodies into one.
"You’re unaware of how far a Great Wilderness Immortal Body developed over hundreds of thousands of years can grow, combined with complementary Immortal Bodies, it’s already undying."
