Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1079 449: The Terrifying Effects of the Curse of Time (Part 2)

Yet, Lin Xuankong was compelled to concede,

that ever since his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate began activating, the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch—rumored to be an ancient Celestial Demon from the Upper Realm—truly imposed immense pressure upon him. He had never encountered such intense pressure throughout his more than century of Cultivation!

Not even when confronting his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, had he ever sensed such horrifying pressure!

Little surprise they commanded such dread in the Supreme Origin Realm,

though just what rank does this Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch occupy there, who can tell?

Should the Supreme Origin Realm teem with abominations like the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, the Celestial Demons' prowess would crush with overwhelming force!

Lin Xuankong at this instant remained utterly unaware that the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, whom he viewed as a colossal threat, stood as the most ancient and dominant Celestial Demon across the entire Supreme Origin Realm. This Saint Monarch commanded vast hordes of Celestial Demons in the Supreme Origin Realm, consolidating nearly every shred of their fearsome might. Devoid of that power, the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch could never have shattered the Supreme Origin Realm's World Wall to dispatch wisps of Celestial Demon essence into countless great worlds!

Steadying his spirit, Lin Xuankong fixed his gaze on the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect's Second Elder, Sima Ling, and declared:

"The decisive clash between Immortals and Demons hangs in the balance. While the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Child Gang Bone empowers hordes of its demon leaders via the Curse of Time, cannot I, Lin Xuankong, craft vast arrays of Immortal Artifacts for the Immortal Realm's Human Race powerhouses?

You noted earlier that the Curse of Time, beyond bolstering Demon Race strength, harbors a dreadful offensive capability. Against this, we must vigilantly prepare!

Out with it then—what precise assault does the Curse of Time unleash? What potency does it wield? Do you know any countermeasures?"

Though the Curse of Time's boost to Demon Race power proved staggeringly potent—enough to plunge any Earth Immortal into despair upon discovery—Lin Xuankong saw glimmers of hope, as it failed to propel Profound Yin Demon Sect leaders straight from Demon General Level to Demon Lord Realm. Nonetheless, originating from an Upper Realm ancient Celestial Demon's essence, the Curse of Time's attacking prowess could not be taken lightly!

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's inquiry,

Sima Ling, Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, saw a shift in his eyes; he abruptly quieted, gazing at Lin Xuankong with a subtle plea flickering in his look.

Evidently, at this pivotal juncture, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect's Second Elder yearned for his vital intel—poised to sway the Immortal Demon War—to secure Lin Xuankong's vow to spare the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect and offer a lifeline to its hundreds of thousands of Earth Immortals and cultivators!

Observing the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect's Second Elder Sima Ling like this, Lin Xuankong pondered briefly before stating gravely:

"Those Earth Immortals and disciples of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect uninvolved in the Profound Yin Demon Sect conspiracy need not fear. I, Lin Xuankong, harbor no thirst for slaughter, and I shall never punish the innocent of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect!"

Nearby, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er issued a icy huff, her lovely features twisted with killing intent, and she snapped coldly, "Spit it out now, or else. In this crisis, do you imagine you can haggle? Linger longer, and I'll storm the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect personally!"

In that instant, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er radiated lethal aura, whereas Sima Ling, Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, showed faint relief in his eyes,

betraying how this crafty, seasoned Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect had swiftly gauged true command lay between Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er...

Securing Lin Xuankong's assurance, Sima Ling—the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect—at last relaxed and pressed on with his words:

The Third Demon Lord, during his communication and intimidation of me, failed to specify the precise strength of the Curse of Time's attack effect. Yet he stressed that its horrifying curse power strikes the opponent's lifespan foundation in an instant, dramatically hastening the target's aging process. Precisely how much lifespan it drains or the number of years it adds to the foe's age remains unknown to me!

One thing stands certain: the Curse of Time's fearsome demon technique impacts the target's lifespan based on the quantity of living beings offered in blood sacrifice!

Furthermore, from what I understand, every curse-type demon technique of the Demon Race can activate by exacting an equivalent toll. Thus, launching the Curse of Time to erode the opponent's lifespan drains the caster's own lifespan!

I have no knowledge of how many years a single activation of this curse ages the target, and the Third Demon Lord surely wouldn't reveal such crucial details to me.

Even though all demons in the Profound Yin Demon Realm belong to Longevity Species, celebrated for their vast lifespans,

certain Demon Lord-level powerhouses boast lifespan limits surpassing one million years,

such mighty demons could, if employing the Curse of Time, curse the Immortal Realm Human Race's top Immortal Lords, potentially causing the downfall of many!

Immortal Lin and Immortal Lord Guang should tread carefully when confronting the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Lords in times ahead.

While the Immortal Realm Human Race's peak Immortal Lord-level powerhouses surpass ordinary Earth Immortals in lifespan, most reach only a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand years!

Next to the Strongest Immortal Lord Lin Xuankong, Guang Yu'er furrowed her brows once more upon hearing this,

should the Curse of Time wield its dread curse to erode targets' lifespan limits, this demon technique proves utterly terrifying. The Human Race's top Immortal Lords' lifespans pale against the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Lords!

This holds true for me too; absent Supreme Spirit Fruits and Elixirs that extend life, my innate lifespan caps at roughly one hundred forty to one hundred fifty thousand years, far inferior to the demons' Longevity Species. Worse, they amplify curses via blood sacrifices of the living!

Particularly for Xuankong... A trace of concern stirred in the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er's heart,

Xuankong ranks among the Profound Yin Demon Sect's prime targets now,

evidently, the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Lords and the Demon Child Gang Bone seek to seize Xuankong alive!

But should war erupt fully and the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Lords alongside Demon Child Gang Bone grow ruthless, targeting Xuankong—who bolsters the Immortal Realm Human Race immensely as an Artifact Refining Master... Were they to unleash the Curse of Time via Demon Child Gang Bone on Xuankong, how could he endure it!

Beyond Xuankong's present Realm granting a modest lifespan limit, even sudden elevation to Strongest Immortal Lord status with hundreds of thousands of years would fail against such a ruthless curse!

Lin Xuankong sensed mounting pressure upon hearing this,

he quietly checked the majestic purple-golden characters in his Life Plate, confirming his lifespan limit exceeded five million years—a span he once deemed near-eternal. Yet against the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Child Gang Bone Curse of Time, it appeared marginally inadequate!

Should every Profound Yin Demon Sect Demon Lord-level powerhouse channel the Curse of Time through Demon Child Gang Bone at him, his glorious five-million-plus-year lifespan might withstand merely seven or eight such Demon Lords before shattering!

Still, the Profound Yin Demon Sect harbors seventy-two Demon Lord-level powerhouses, excluding its horde of Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact-level Demon Generals!

Additionally, the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Child Gang Bone could invoke the Curse of Time's mysterious might through living beings' blood sacrifices,

and a massive blood sacrifice unleashing the Curse of Time might plunder an unimaginable chunk of his lifespan limit!

Upon doing the calculations, the pressure weighs down tremendously... no, to guarantee my absolute safety in the climactic clash between Immortals and Demons, I must devise a method to obtain some Spirit Fruits and Elixirs that push my lifespan limit even further!
