Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 609 - 397: Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth, Consort of the Buddhist Sect (2nd Update, Please Subscribe!)_2

"This is no simple matter. The old monster has lost all sense of reason and humanity, only the instinct to kill and devour remains. To him, our cultivated Essence Qi is like two chunks of juicy meat. Before he devours us, he won't bother chasing those mortals."

"No, we must summon Gao Buxi, or we'll just have to hold out until the Source Qi within the old monster collapses and he bursts apart first. But by doing so, both you and I will unavoidably suffer severe injuries, and our path to further cultivation will become hopeless."

"How to summon? The old monster's body is blocking that spot. Whether it's transmitting a message or Divine Thought, all sorts of methods have been tried, but there's no response from Gao Buxi at all. Who knows what kind of mishap has befallen him? Could it be the 'Spirit Dog Locking Yin Technique' you mentioned? I heard that once applied, the Locking Yin lasts for several hours? Inseparable, which allowed all the Daoists to die without anyone coming to the rescue."

Inside the Barrier, the Dog Demon Li Fengxian had also revealed its true form.

It looked like an enormous palace, with a body of pure white, encircled by chilling winds and cold flames, paws treading upon poisonous fire, and eyes of blood-red.

It had been locked in fierce combat with the One-Horned Demon Toad and was at the end of its strength.

Its once smooth and supple fur was now disheveled and messy.

Furthermore, it was covered with holes and scars, and one of its eyes had been blinded by the Poison Smoke exhaled by Wutong.

Struggling to hold on, it suddenly heard Qu Zhongyuan's words from the other side where the ghosts lingered, and immediately retorted:

"My Magic Skill indeed has that effect, but while it locks the Yin, it doesn't block perception."

"For Gao Buxi to be as absent as the dead leaves only two possibilities: either he is indulging in pleasure, behind a sealing Great Prohibition, or all these happenings here are orchestrated by the beast itself..."

What Li Fengxian said was actually what Qu Zhongyuan had in mind.

The second possibility was more plausible, and there was evidence to support it.

Why did the Demon Toad massacre and devour everyone yet deliberately avoid Gao Buxi's chamber? Even if it were a coincidence, it should not be so coincidental, right?

"There's no point waiting any longer, let's fight with all we've got."

"We'll escape first, keep an eye on Wutong from afar, and when he bursts apart, we'll return to pick up the spoils... That Treasure Bead, the devoured Old Turtle Demon, as well as the other Demons, along with Wutong himself, once we've healed our injuries, we might still profit."

"Good!"

Both beasts understood that this was the final moment and that they could no longer afford to hold back. freewebnσvel.cѳm

They took action at the same time!

Suddenly, from within the Barrier that Qu Zhongyuan had unleashed, a hundred Fierce Ghosts with green faces and tusks like Great Strength Demons leaped out, each brandishing weapons such as swords and spears, axes and halberds, sticks and staves, whips and maces, all rushing forward to beat the Demon Toad into pulp.

Li Fengxian was even more ruthless; with an unknown Secret Technique, its fur turned inside out, transforming into a bizarre creature with blurred flesh all over. Below its belly sprouted hundreds of sharp claws, its gaping maw extending outward like a blooming chrysanthemum, with a mist of blood behind it, causing its body to flicker between visibility and invisibility, as it lunged to gnaw on Wutong.

Upon seeing this, Qu Zhongyuan was overjoyed.

While secretly thinking, "This Doggy is finally willing to put up a desperate fight, even taking out the [Blood Shadow Demon Dog Dharma Form]. There's hope for survival."

At the same time, he poured the remainder of his Mana into the ghosts, compressing them into long nail-like blades, with boundless sharpness, and hurled them at the Evil Money Barrier.

As he expected, it worked out. But then, a new surprise occurred.

There was a "crack" as two things shattered.

One was the Evil Money Barrier, and the other was Gao Buxi's bridal chamber.

As the final blow from the Fierce Ghosts and Li Fengxian struck, the massive body of the Demon Toad collapsed with a thunderous fall, and thus no longer a single building within the Barrier was spared; all were leveled to the ground.

However, while the latter was demolished, the people inside were unharmed.

The thick Forbidden Law Barrier inside the room was crushed in an instant, and Sky-reaching Blade Light, accompanied by Gao Buxi's shout of anger, cleaved away half of the Demon Toad's body.

"Wutong Old Monster, what… what have you done?"

Gao Buxi, still dressed in his robe, his face pale, shaking, and holding the Xuan Yin Blood Frost Saber, watched everything unfold before him in disbelief.

Dead?

Everyone died?

His underlings, the foundation of his enterprise that he had painstakingly built, all gone in one night? No, within an hour?

And even harder to accept were the two beasts.

While they took advantage of the broken Barrier to flee, they watched Gao Buxi's demeanor and thought to themselves: Could it really be this ridiculous? Was this massacre just a coincidence? As all the Daoists died, was this Gao Buxi still frolicking in bed?

As the two beasts pondered this, they didn't forget to transmit the details of the events to him.

Thus, they all saw Gao Buxi's expression crumble.

And before the three could clarify everything, another change occurred.

This time, it was Wutong.

It seemed that after battling for so long, sustaining such deep injuries, and now suffering from the Hundred Ghosts Devouring the Flesh and Li Fengxian's Blood Shadow Soul Devouring,

the Mutated Wutong Master, Liu Lean, appeared to have a moment of lucidity, as if the light had momentarily returned to his eyes.

Therefore, he also became aware of his own condition.

He glared at the surviving Three Demons and the South Sea female cultivator, Duan Yuhong, and with a hoarse voice, he crazily laughed, saying,

"Die, all of you die."

"To let you die with your eyes closed, this divine skill is called 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth'."

"I, Wutong Master Liu Lean, am proud to be able to cast this technique before perishing."

"My friends, join me on the journey."

As soon as Wutong's voice fell, his mouth split open.

With a whooshing sound, an already huge toad mouth suddenly split further, growing wider and wider.

The filthy tadpoles within the holes on its back, not caring that they were not fully gestated, burst forth prematurely, wrapped in mucus, escaping in all directions.

The pool of blood worms beneath it, too, writhed violently, tunnelling into the ground.

In a daze, the heavens and earth transformed, and a blood moon plummeted.

Like a mountain flood, a waterfall of filthy, stinking matter surged forward, everything turning foul and dim.

Many mortals within the entirety of Guangping City had yet to escape.

Thus, they had no choice but to witness this scene of Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth alongside the Three Demons.

And they, too, were the objects being swallowed.

Mortals can resign to their fate!

But how could Gao Buxi, Li Fengxian, and Qu Zhongyuan resign themselves to this end? They each desperately mobilized their mana, hoping to save themselves.

Yet, they all could see that this was Wutong's most ferocious technique before his death and path was extinguished.

It was not just about resisting; they couldn't even escape.

"It's over!"

"No, I cannot accept this. I, Qu Zhongyuan, who dines on ghost hearts and expertly cooks ghost brains, how can I be swallowed by a stinky toad?"

"Is it true that blessings and calamities have no gate and come without reason?"

"But to have tangled in love with my lady before death, Gao Buxi has no regrets..."

Just when numerous mortals and the Three Demons fell into despair,

suddenly at this moment, a Buddha's name resounded through Guangping City without warning.

"Amitabha!"

"You evil beast, let's see if your Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Divine Skill can withstand my Handheld Buddha Country."

Before the echo of those words faded, everyone saw a giant hand, surging with ten thousand feet of Buddha Light, reaching across space to strike down.

Accompanied by a thunderous boom, the stinking, filthy belly of the toad burst open.

Buddha Light flooded in, shattering the blood moon.

Then, from the horizon, an inconspicuous old cloth bag flew in.

The bag emanated an unbeatable suction force, further enhanced by the Buddha Light; amidst the whistling sound, it forcibly sucked in the Mutated Wutong, which had expanded to the size of a mountain.

With the filth gone, flowers fell from the sky, and Buddha Light chanted in the air.

As everyone looked up, they immediately saw a pair of Buddha's disciples, a match that is hard to find in the world, descending into Guangping with the Buddha Light.

One of the splendid Buddha's sons, Miao Seng, retracted the Buddha's Palm and retrieved the cloth bag.

Barefoot and suspended in the air, he offered a Buddhist salute, then shook the cloth bag, spilling out a listless, torn-mouthed, flesh-rotten, One-Horned Demon Toad onto his palm, and then addressed the crowd,

"Respectful greetings to my fellow Daoists, I am Wu Gou."

"This evil creature has been cleansed by my People Species Bag. Its demonic nature is gone, its mana completely lost, it shall commit no more evil."

ps: There will still be two updates tomorrow, thank you all for your understanding.
