Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1117 - 468: Eye of the Demon Lord (Part 2)

A total of seventy-two Demon Eyes, each a vertical pupil, now spun with great speed, making the vertical pupils resemble swirling vortexes. Instantly, all seventy-two Demon Eyes fixed their gaze upon the enraged stare of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

Emanating from the seventy-two Demon Eyes, nearly imperceptible waves continuously radiated outwards, moving directly towards the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

At this precise moment,

On the First Spirit Peak belonging to the Wine Immortal Sect,

Every Earth Immortal, every disciple of the Wine Immortal Sect, and the vast multitude of young prodigies from numerous Immortal Sects and clans diverted their entire focus toward the Celestial Eye Demon Lord and the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

Hovering near the shimmering light membrane of the Luo Water Array, Lin Xuankong seemed to perceive something abruptly. He furrowed his brow and issued a stern command to all cultivators present on the Wine Immortal Sect's First Spirit Peak:

"Fellow cultivators, quickly channel your Immortal Yuan, shut your eyes firmly, safeguard your Heart Spirit, and absolutely refrain from gazing at those seventy-two Demon Eyes. This is to prevent falling prey to the opponent's insidious Divine Soul attack and becoming ensnared within an Illusion Realm! This Celestial Eye Demon Lord hailing from the Profound Yin Demon Sect wields spiritual attack techniques that surpass even the notorious Fenghuo Lin Demon Lord!"

As Lin Xuankong's warning resounded,

A dramatic shift had already begun to unfold on the First Spirit Peak of the Wine Immortal Sect.

With the exception of the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, the formidable Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, Guang Ling'er who had partaken of the Seven-leaf Spirit Tea, and the White-forehead Qilin and Cyan-forehead Qilin who had consumed the Celestial Demon Blood Fruit, a staggering number—nearly half—of the Wine Immortal Sect's Earth Immortals and disciples, alongside tens of thousands of young talents from various Immortal Sects and clans, appeared distinctly dazed, as if their Divine Souls had lost all lucidity!

And in the very next instant,

These afflicted Earth Immortals, Wine Immortal Sect disciples, and young talents from sundry clans and sects unleashed their Immortal Yuan in unison, beginning to drift towards the location of the Luo Water Array's light membrane.

While airborne, these entranced Earth Immortals and young talents exhibited a striking hint of fanaticism in their eyes. It was as if an infinitely captivating prize lay beyond the light membrane, as if every aspiration they had ever harbored resided beyond it, as if soaring towards it, to stand beside the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, was the ultimate pursuit of their lives, their eternal destiny!

Witnessing this unsettling spectacle, Lin Xuankong's already creased brow deepened with concern.

The Hundredfold Luo Water Array, meticulously established by his own hand, stood as an unbreachable fortress. Let alone the million-strong Demon Sect army and the twenty formidable Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect arrayed before them, even if millions more Demon Sect forces were to arrive, bolstered by dozens more Demon Lords from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, they could never breach the array's defenses through sheer force. It would likely require centuries, perhaps millennia, for them to gradually erode the intricate patterns of the Hundredfold Luo Water Array!

However, a fundamental vulnerability inherent in all Sect Protection Arrays, including the Luo Water Array, was their robust defense against demon techniques, immortal techniques, magical artifacts, and treasures, yet a minimal capacity to counter spiritual attack techniques capable of being unleashed across significant distances. This is because assaults like those employed by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord do not rely on overwhelming destructive power to subjugate their targets; rather, they utilize mere gaze, a subtle action, or a potent curse to directly assault the target's Divine Soul!

The exceptionally powerful Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er swiftly navigated past the slowly ascending cultivators, positioning herself beside Lin Xuankong. With a troubled expression, she remarked:

"The spiritual attack techniques wielded by this Celestial Eye Demon Lord are vastly more potent than those of the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord whom you once repelled from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. In such a remarkably brief timeframe, he has directly subjugated so many high-ranking Earth Immortals! These Earth Immortals are esteemed young talents from various sects and clans, possessing minds and cultivation levels far exceeding those of the Earth Immortals within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect at that earlier juncture.

What proves most vexing is the fact that the Celestial Eye Demon Lord is currently engaging the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva with his demon techniques, while these diverse young talents from various sects and clans are simply being ensnared by these very same demon techniques! "

According to my recollection, records within the sect’s archives concerning the Celestial Eye Demon Lord mention a demonic technique known as the Paradise Demon Eye. This technique supposedly influences a target's Heart Spirit, but the methods described were nowhere near as potent as what we're witnessing. The ability to instantly sway seventy to eighty thousand Earth Immortals of the Eighth and Ninth Grades is unprecedented. If the former Celestial Eye Demon Lord possessed such might, the entire Immortal Realm would have surely succumbed to chaos by their hand alone!

It appears the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's power has truly undergone a significant transformation, amplified by that sliver of Celestial Demon Power from the Demon Child Gang Bone!

Lin Xuankong gave a slight nod, a flicker of unease crossing his features.

With his current Supreme Divine Soul Realm, he felt no apprehension towards the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s specialized demonic techniques; their spiritual assault methods wouldn't ensnare him. However, even if he were to employ his Guangqing Illusion Technique, which had reached the Perfection Realm, he couldn't fathom instantly influencing such a vast number of Eighth and Ninth Grade Earth Immortals, bringing their Heart Spirit under his command!

The demonic techniques mastered by this Celestial Eye Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect must be exceptionally potent and arcane, perhaps comparable to the Nine Gates Celestial Eye. Furthermore, due to the influence of Demon Child Gang Bone’s Celestial Demon Power, these techniques have undoubtedly grown far more formidable, their offensive capabilities greatly enhanced, thus granting them such overwhelming prowess!

That fragment of Celestial Demon Power, named the Curse of Time, truly lives up to its name as a power originating from the Supreme Origin Realm; its efficacy and might are utterly astonishing!

This was merely the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, influenced by Celestial Demon Power... what terrifying form and formidable skills must that Demon Child Gang Bone have attained?

Such thoughts prompted a trace of worry to surface in Lin Xuankong's eyes as he directed his gaze towards the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

He had spent a period cultivating within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, an institution filled with numerous fellow disciples. More importantly, his mentor, Immortal Lord Luoshui, who had guided him for a century and greatly accelerated his progress in the Path of Array, resided there. Had the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect already commenced its engagement? Would his mentor, Immortal Lord Luoshui, the third most powerful human in the Immortal Realm, be among the first to confront the enemy? Could he, by chance, be assailed by the Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect and suffer grievous injuries?

As Lin Xuankong pondered these matters,

The Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race approached Lin Xuankong, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators gradually ascending towards the luminous barrier of the Luo Water Array. He let out a soft shake of his head, emitting a sigh:

"The Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect have indeed grown mightier with the aid of that Celestial Demon Power. Moments ago, when I met the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's gaze, I experienced a brief moment of debilitating distraction!"

At this juncture, cultivators possessing slightly more robust Divine Souls, who had not yet succumbed to the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s demonic arts, swiftly closed their eyes. They concentrated their Heart Spirit, desperately trying to avoid suffering the same fate as their brethren, who were now under the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's control.

Yet, by undertaking this protective measure, these cultivators and Earth Immortals found themselves entirely incapable of aiding their controlled companions. They could not, by any means, prevent these ensnared individuals from exiting the Luo Water Array!

Swiftly, in less time than it took to draw three breaths,

The nascent talents from various sects and clans, now under subjugation, were already nearing the Luo Water Array's shimmering boundary!

Observing this alarming development, Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu’er prepared to intervene. However, the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader standing beside them suddenly experienced violent surges of Immortal Yuan coursing through his being.

Instantly,

The Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader's mouth gaped open as he let out a ferocious roar. An immense, rapidly expanding wave emanated from his mouth, swiftly engulfing the surrounding space and the controlled cultivators!

"Qilin True Words!"

Witnessing the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader's decisive action, Lin Xuankong’s attention shifted. Concurrently, he felt a sudden, jarring impediment to his own Immortal Yuan, making it almost impossible to wield!

Had he not already attained the pinnacle of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, with his Divine Soul, Immortal Body, and Immortal Yuan harmoniously unified, that single roar from the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader would have been sufficient to instantaneously freeze all of Lin Xuankong's Immortal Yuan, causing him to plummet from the heavens...With a fearsome display of power, the Qilin Race's Elder Clan Leader unleashed his immortal technique, revealing the Qilin's unparalleled talent. It's no wonder the Qilin Race stands tall among the esteemed Four Great Spirit Beasts!
