Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1121 - 471: Suppressing Demons with One’s Own Body (Part 2)

In the blink of an eye,

The myriad demon eyes adorning the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's visage astonishingly converged into a singular, colossal red demon eye, starkly positioned at the center of its forehead!

When contrasted with the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's immense stature, which dwarfed over ten thousand zhang, this transformed being now bore an uncanny resemblance to the one-eyed behemoths described in ancient human lore!

At this precise juncture,

The Glazed Demon-Slaying Pestle held within Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s grasp radiated an inexhaustible Buddha’s Light. This divine luminescence expertly disintegrated the shroud of demonic qi that enveloped the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, unleashing a resplendent golden pillar of Buddha’s Light. It hurtled towards the demon lord's head with terrifying velocity, its overwhelming might seemingly poised to instantly annihilate the monstrous one-eyed head!

However,

The Celestial Eye Demon Lord, having successfully executed the Demon Eye Fusion, emitted another peculiar cry. From the gigantic, solitary eye now situated on its forehead, a crimson beam, teeming with countless bizarre images, surged forth. This beam precisely countered the incoming golden pillar of Buddha’s Light, effectively neutralizing the threat of the divine light potentially impacting its visage!

The expressions of numerous young prodigies within the Luo Water Array visibly tightened as they grasped the dire reality:

This crimson beam, emanating from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's forehead, not only repelled the assault from the Glazed Demon-Slaying Pestle but continued its relentless advance towards Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, all while maintaining its hold against the golden beam!

Within the golden pillar’s confines, the myriad Buddhist Secret Patterns that were rapidly materializing disintegrated under the relentless barrage of the red beam, unable to withstand its potent assault!

Most remarkably,

A constant stream of diverse phenomena manifested and swirled within the crimson beam, presenting an aura of profound mystery!

Within its depths, vast stars continuously coalesced within the void, only to evolve, swiftly decline, and disintegrate into endless cosmic dust. Exotic beasts, unlike any ever witnessed in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, rapidly emerged within the red beam, achieving rapid maturity before swiftly aging, ultimately transforming into skeletal remains, which then decayed into dust. Alongside these, various unusual spirit plants and artifacts, entirely unknown within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, repeatedly surfaced within the beam. These rapidly grew to towering proportions, then underwent accelerated cycles of flowering and fruition, followed by withering, snapping, and ultimately vanishing...

Crucially, the sheer thickness and immensity of the crimson beam originating from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s single eye allowed every cultivator within the Luo Water Array to observe these phenomena with exceptional clarity!

The manifestation of such a potent and terrifying beam, persistently overpowering Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s Buddha’s Light, instilled considerable astonishment and a palpable tremor in the hearts of every cultivator, etching a tense furrow upon their brows.

The Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, standing in proximity to Lin Xuankong, observed the beam’s swift obliteration of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s Buddha’s Light. He couldn't help but knit his brows and remark:

“What an peculiar demon technique! While I have never personally confronted this Celestial Eye Demon Lord, its name has resonated through countless whispers over the past hundreds of thousands of years!

I consider myself well-versed in its repertoire of demon techniques and methods; yet, I have never encountered or read of this Celestial Eye Demon Lord possessing such extraordinary pupil techniques, beyond its known spiritual assault methods!

What astounds me most is not merely the unfamiliarity of this pupil technique; I have also never witnessed phenomena akin to those swirling within the red beam, not even within the vast literary collections of our Qilin Sacred Mountain. Could it be that these phenomena do not originate from our Immortal Realm?”

This line of thought seemed to spark a realization in the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race. His gaze shifted towards Lin Xuankong and the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, his eyes widening as he noticed their own troubled expressions.

After a shared glance, the three—two humans and one beast—unexpectedly voiced their thoughts in unison,

“Could this be the work of Celestial Demon Power?”

“The Celestial Eye Power of the Heavenly Demon Child Gang Bone?”

“Might this be a manifestation of the Profound Yin Demon Sect Demon Lord’s technique, augmented by Celestial Demon Power?”

Upon uttering these words, a subtle yet discernible trace of apprehension flickered in the eyes of all three, most prominently in the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader.

After all, Lin Xuankong and the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er had previously encountered Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Sima Ling had imparted information regarding the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s Demon Child Gang Bone receiving a fragment of Celestial Demon Power, prompting prior speculations.

Therefore,

Lin Xuankong and the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er harbored suspicions, conjecturing that the strange phenomena emanating from the red beam by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord might correspond to beings and forces from the Supreme Origin Realm or other vast worlds connected to it. Furthermore, the celestial births and deaths, the cycles of exotic beasts, and the decay of spirit plants could potentially be the materialized manifestation of the ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch’s Curse of Time!

Despite possessing some prior inkling,

the sight of the time-altering phenomena, born from Celestial Demon Power, deepened the apprehension within Lin Xuankong and the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er.

This very scene undeniably confirmed their most dreaded fear: the Demon Child Gang Bone’s complete assimilation and transformation of these Demon Lords’ powers and techniques, with each resulting entity potentially wielding even more potent and terrifying Demon Techniques following the metamorphosis induced by the Celestial Demon Power!

Considering these possibilities, Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu’er couldn’t help but feel a growing unease.

Although the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader remained unaware of the phenomena’s true nature, possibly affected by the Celestial Demon Power, he immediately channeled his Immortal Yuan upon witnessing the bizarre occurrence. He boomed his warning outside the Luo Water Array:

"Fellow Daoist Great Success Yu Ming, please be cautious! This red beam is no ordinary phenomenon; it is best that you avoid its touch!"

At this critical juncture,

while exerting her full strength to channel her internal Immortal Yuan and wielding the Glazed Demon-Slaying Pestle, Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva could distinctly feel the formidable and peculiar nature of the red beam actively eroding her Buddha’s Light.

Observing that her pillar of golden Buddha’s Light was utterly incapable of repelling this terrifying and bizarre red beam,

Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva commenced chanting a Buddhist mantra with great speed, her voice resonating with a unique tone, tinged with a sorrowful compassion for all existence.

In the very next moment,

Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s left arm was abruptly severed from her shoulder!

Her chant resounded powerfully, "...This disciple willingly offers her form to quell the demons...."

"Boom"

With a thunderous impact,

the detached left arm of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva instantly disintegrated, shattering into an immeasurable number of golden specks, each no larger than a grain of sand!

That arm, spanning three to four thousand zhang and hundreds of zhang in thickness, was reduced to such minuscule golden fragments, likely numbering in the hundreds of billions!

Yet, this vast quantity of golden specks did not scatter chaotically. Instead, they surged forth, rapidly coalescing into golden torrents that swirled before Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, constructing an imposing, colossal golden shield ahead of her, measuring ten thousand zhang in diameter and hundreds of zhang in thickness!

The shield was adorned with myriad Buddhist spiritual objects, including immense Buddha statues, soaring Bodhisattvas, lotuses with twenty-four leaves, golden alms bowls, golden wooden fish, and golden demon-slaying pestles. These spiritual objects were depicted with astonishing clarity and perpetually moved across the golden shield, appearing poised to manifest at any moment as supreme Buddhist artifacts!

Witnessing this incredible display,

a flicker of profound admiration sparked within the immense eyes of the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader.

"Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva has astonishingly perfected the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique of Spirit Platform Buddhism? It is said that even Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva never achieved perfection in this self-sacrificial Buddhist Art! Rumor has it that this Buddhist Technique demands an immense toll, requiring the depletion of vast amounts of Immortal Yuan and a portion of one’s own Immortal Body and foundation for its execution. Furthermore, this technique stands as the paramount defensive and offensive Buddhist art within Spirit Platform Buddhism!"

"Undoubtedly, such a peerless Buddhist Technique will possess the might to withstand this bizarre demonic radiance from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord!"
