Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
The Celestial Eye Demon Lord attempts to resist the first strike of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation's Celestial Thunder with its red light beam, but is unable to erode its power. However, the Demon Lord manages to disperse the first strike. Meanwhile, Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva also withstands the same strike with its golden shields, even appearing to grow brighter. The two rivals exchange a look, with the Celestial Eye Demon Lord vowing its enhanced power is not to be underestimated.
"This time, you are destined to fall in the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, while I, with the Celestial Eye, shall cross this final Celestial Tribulation and become one of the powerful Celestial Demons of the Upper Realm!"
The Celestial Eye Demon Lord was clearly talking nonsense!
If facing a regular final tribulation,
Even though the tribulation’s power would multiply several times due to two individuals within its range, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord might have a hint of confidence, using the Demon Race’s longevity species’ vigorous life force to barely survive!
But this time, appearing before their eyes was indeed one of the most terrifying three tribulations in countless eras of the Golden Dragon Immortal Tribulation, known as the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, and none of the powerful Earth Immortals have ever succeeded in overcoming it!
Such a tribulation, how could the Celestial Eye Demon Lord possibly fully pass through it!
These words now, of course, were because the Celestial Eye Demon Lord was exceedingly frustrated, so... just indulging in some verbal satisfaction, to demoralize the heart of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva opposite, preferably causing this mad Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva to die before him, so that at least before falling, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s mood would improve a little!
Unfortunately,
Hearing these words from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord,
The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva showed no signs of emotional disturbance, instead an expression of a slight smile emerged on the face that was previously wide-eyed in anger,
"I indeed do not have full assurance to pass through this final tribulation, given that it is the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation. However, for me, being able to perish under the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is still an honorable way to die, at least the annals of my Spirit Platform Buddhism will record that I, the Great Success Yu Ming, will be the fourth to die under this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation’s power! But, based on my understanding of your Demon Sect, at this moment your Celestial Eye is probably filled with indignation, frustration, and hatred!"
"Heed my counsel, letting go of the indignation and hatred from your heart is the right choice, otherwise, after falling, upon reincarnation, you will likely still carry the karma, making it inevitable to become a demon in the next life!"
After speaking, this Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, amidst a lethal crisis, instead displayed extreme calmness, ignored the exceedingly frustrated old demon opposite, and turned away towards the tribulation clouds overhead.
The Celestial Eye Demon Lord was further agitated by this admonition from the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva,
It’s a pity,
Before he could say anything further,
The tribulation clouds above had already begun to roll violently!
In the next instant,
A total of twenty-four terrifying Celestial Tribulation Thunder bolts, just like the one before, suddenly emerged from the clouds, winding and twisting, shooting towards the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s location! On the other side, in the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s location, similarly, twenty-four bolts of tribulation thunder simultaneously struck down!
"Damn it, dead! Surely it’s the vicious and ruthless Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, just beginning the second wave of tribulation attack, it has already turned into twenty-four bolts, increasing in power by twenty-four times. If this goes on, how terrifying would the third wave be, and what will the fourth wave be..."
The Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s mind only had time to raise this exceedingly frustrating thought before he had to summon his entire concentrated demonic qi, and from the position of the large Demon Eye on his forehead, shot out a vastly thick red beam, facing those twenty-four terrible tribulation bolts!
In the blink of an eye,
The twenty-four tribulation bolts,
Had been entirely held back by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord using a surprisingly clever route with a single red beam!
Being a demon of tens of thousands of years, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord naturally had his own strengths!
After the red beam and tribulation thunder came into contact, a deafening "zzzzzzzzzz" sound once again erupted from the sky!
But this time, there was a difference from the last,
The first tribulation bolt consisted of only one bolt, quickly repelled by the red beam from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s Demon Eye, rapidly dispersing unseen!
This time,
A full twenty-four terrible tribulation bolts raced together,
Even though the red beam from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord contained terrifying power, it could no longer easily suppress so many terrible tribulation bolts!
Although the red beam continuously shot outwards, it managed to hold the twenty-four bolts at bay. However, it was incapable of pushing these bolts further back or bending their path. The red beam could only manage to halt the twenty-four tribulation bolts’ assault in mid-air!
Meanwhile, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was also barely holding on.
Her two golden shields, adorned with countless Buddhist Treasure Appearances, were steadily being worn down by twenty-four simultaneous tribulation strikes. The Buddha's Light was completely suppressed!
Witnessing this scene, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva could only shake her head slightly.
While the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique was indeed the foremost offensive and defensive Buddhist technique of Spirit Platform Buddhism, and possessed a certain sharpness against ordinary final tribulations, it appeared somewhat insufficient against this outrageously powerful Five Elements Extermination Tribulation!
Nevertheless, having reached this juncture, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva felt not a single shred of regret. Instead, her lips curved into a compassionate smile, as a melodious Buddhist scripture chant continued to emanate from her.
Within the Luo Water Array,
Every cultivator’s expression shifted dramatically, seemingly overwhelmed by the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation before them!
This was quite understandable, truly.
These young prodigies hailing from various Immortal Sects and clans, despite possessing supreme talent, were young and had never before witnessed such a terrifying, despair-inducing tribulation!
"This doesn't seem right! I recall when I advanced from the Eighth Grade to the Ninth Grade Earth Immortal, the tribulation I faced was indeed strong and terrifying. But during the second wave of thunder strikes, the descending bolts changed from one to two! Yet now, in this tribulation faced by the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, it suddenly shifts from a single bolt in the first wave to twenty-four bolts in the second wave?"
"Good heavens! What sort of tribulation is this?
Must a power at the Strongest Immortal Lord level confront such a dreadful ordeal when attempting ascension to the Upper Realm?
The tribulation has merely begun its second wave and has already become so fearsome. What level of terror will the third wave, the fourth, all the way to the eighth and ninth waves reach? Can cultivators from our Immortal Realm truly overcome this?"
"Look, I believe I’ve seen a description of this specific tribulation within the sect's ancient texts. It's referred to as the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation? That must be it! It is said that no Earth Immortal in the Immortal Realm has ever successfully passed through this tribulation!"
"Extermination Tribulation? Impossible! How could there be a tribulation known by cultivators by such a name!"
"It appears the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva is struggling more than the Celestial Eye Demon Lord! In the end, could it be that this damnable, shameless demon successfully crosses this tribulation, while the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva ultimately fails?"
"Hush hush hush, you speak of bad omens! On which side do you stand? You express no hope for the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva to pass this tribulation, yet instead, you wish for the old demon to succeed?"
The young geniuses engaged in fervent discussion. Most cultivators had never seen or heard of this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation before. The escalating terror of the tribulation before them had far surpassed the expectations these young talents held from their respective sects and clans!
At the forefront,
Little Bodhisattva Galin stood behind Lin Xuankong, observing from a distance the increasingly strained Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva. The worry etched in her eyes intensified, a hint of despair even dawning on her face.
Having just entered the second wave, her aunt was already battling so fiercely. Does she truly possess the capacity to withstand all nine waves of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation?
It seemed highly probable this time around; her aunt was surely destined to fall!
With this thought, Little Bodhisattva Galin couldn't help but cast a glance at Lin Xuankong, silently contemplating: Just moments ago, Immortal Lin mentioned his intention to lend her aunt a helping hand. Can he truly accomplish such a feat?
At this very moment, even the Strongest Immortal Lord, Guang Immortal Lord, and the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader are rendered powerless! Immortal Lin cannot manipulate the Luo Water Array; how could he possibly possess a means to assist her aunt? Alas, it is merely the chaos born from my concern that causes me to overthink things, is it not!"
