Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1133 - 477: This Celestial Eye Is Just Too Embarrassing (Part 2)

The up-and-coming talented Demon Kings from the various clans within Boundaryless Mountain felt a stir of discontent after hearing the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader’s words. Most prominent among them was Little Linglong, the top prodigy of the Cyan Dragon Race. Though in a human form, she bore two long horns and the tail of a Little Dragon Girl, her delicate mouth pouting with clear dissatisfaction.

However, upon witnessing the terrifying flames engulfing the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva as he underwent his Tribulation, and hearing his serene recitation of Buddhist scripture, even this top prodigy of the Cyan Dragon Race, after some internal struggle, had to acknowledge that in matters of mental fortitude, she was vastly inferior to the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

As for comparing cultivation speeds with the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, she had to admit defeat. Furthermore, Lin Xuankong’s mastery in the Path of Artifact Refining and Array Formation was a widely acknowledged fact among her peers. Even if granted hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, she knew she could never reach the level of this exceptionally talented anomaly!

"Indeed, when measured against the mental fortitude of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, Immortal Lin’s proficiency in the Path of Artifact Refining, and Immortal Lord Guang’s cultivation speed, we young, talented Demon Kings of Boundaryless Mountain are certainly a bit lacking,"

"However, compared to other prodigies from the Human Race in the Immortal Realm, the young talents from our Boundaryless Mountain are by no means inferior!"

Feeling a wave of frustration, this top prodigy, the Little Demon King of the Cyan Dragon Race, could only ponder these thoughts internally…

Yet, what this top prodigy, the Little Demon King of the Cyan Dragon Race, remained unaware of was that Lin Xuankong’s exceptional abilities were not confined to his unparalleled mastery of Array Formation and Artifact Refining. When it came to cultivation speed, there was absolutely no one in the entirety of the Immortal Realm who could contend with him!

In a mere span of over a hundred years, Lin Xuankong had ascended from the status of an ordinary mortal to become a powerhouse at the Strongest Immortal Lord level, standing firmly at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm!

This progression in cultivation speed not only eclipsed that of her, the top prodigy Little Demon King of the Cyan Dragon Race, but also surpassed that of the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, Immortal Lord Feiyun, and countless other cultivators throughout the history of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. No other Earth Immortal, Demon Race, or any other prodigy could match this nearly two-hundred-fold cultivation rate!

And this is merely his current standing.

If Lin Xuankong were to continue living steadily for several thousand or even ten thousand years, and his cultivation amplified to several thousand or ten thousand times its current level, who could predict the astonishing effects he might achieve when cultivating various Immortal Techniques!

At this very moment,

within the Luo Water Array, the young talents from both the Demon Race and the Human Race

were all observing the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva with profound admiration, fervently wishing for this Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism to safely navigate through the third onslaught of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation!

On the side of the Profound Yin Demon Sect,

the expressions displayed by their Demon Lords, Demons, Demon Generals, and Demon Soldiers were exceptionally intriguing!

Initially, the fact that Celestial Eye Demon Lord was ’compelled’ to undergo the Celestial Tribulation alongside the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva had left the Demon Lords and Demon Generals of the Profound Yin Demon Sect feeling quite dejected! Although Celestial Eye Demon Lord had held the advantage in previous confrontations with the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, facing the Tribulation together eliminated any such superiority.

What further vexed the Demon Lords and Demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect was this:

When the third wave of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation and the Celestial Spirit Fire were unleashed, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva remained completely unharmed, serenely reciting Buddhist scripture. In stark contrast, Celestial Eye Demon Lord was being scorched to the point of ghostly wails, feeling as if he were on the brink of death. The Profound Yin Demon Sect’s Demon Lords and Demons felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment on behalf of Celestial Eye Demon Lord!

Celestial Eye, oh Celestial Eye, you are a renowned Demon Lord of tens of thousands of years, once boldly traversing the Immortal Realm, ruthlessly slaughtering numerous experts of the Human Race as a fearsome Demon Lord. And now, you are burning like a defeated hound under the Celestial Spirit Fire… What has become of your past prestige, your former dominance, your once-unshakeable arrogance!

Within the Profound Yin Demon Sect, every Demon Lord, Demon Head, and Demon General inwardly harbored severe criticism. Had they not feared being targeted by the approaching tribulation, some Demon Lords would have already acted against the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, intent on silencing the one disgracing their Sect!

Even the First Demon Lord, Fan Yu, observed from his position within the army, a flicker of displeasure crossing his otherwise composed, dark countenance.

Nevertheless, faced with the current predicament, Fan Yu found himself powerless. He could not command the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, writhing under the Celestial Spirit Fire's torment, to cease its piteous cries!

The reason for Fan Yu's calm observation, rather than immediate rebuke of the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, stemmed from his profound confidence in the Demon Lord's strength and mastery of demonic qi refinement. After all, each Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect had bolstered their power through the Demon Child Gang Bone and Celestial Demon Power.

In Fan Yu's estimation, while the Celestial Eye Demon Lord might falter against certain future assaults of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, enduring this current wave of Celestial Spirit Fire was hardly an insurmountable obstacle.

As for the ultimate success in crossing the tribulation...

At this juncture, First Demon Lord Fan Yu harbored but a single hope: that the Celestial Eye Demon Lord could withstand one or two more barrages than the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, thus sparing the Profound Yin Demon Sect from utter shame! This, after all, was the fabled Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, a trial that even numerous high-grade Immortal Artifacts could not surmount!

...As the various demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect and the multitude of cultivators within the Luo Water Array observed in silence, time inexorably advanced.

The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, enduring the tribulation in tandem, continued to suffer the relentless searing of the Celestial Spirit Fire.

Precisely three hours elapsed.

The terrifying Celestial Spirit Fire, engulfing the bodies of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, gradually subsided.

By this point, even the forms of these two supremely powerful Immortal Lord-level cultivators, despite their incredible resilience, had been scorched to a blackened state, much of their flesh reduced to ash, leaving them almost skeletal.

However,

as the Celestial Spirit Fire ultimately extinguished,

the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was instantaneously enveloped by radiant Buddha's Light. Her Buddha Body, moments from becoming a mere skeleton, saw its flesh writhe and regenerate, restoring its plumpness and skin in less than the blink of an eye, even re-manifesting the Buddhist Robe adorning its surface!

A similar transformation occurred for the Celestial Eye Demon Lord. With the vanishing of the Celestial Spirit Fire, tendrils of demonic qi emerged, encasing its form. In mere moments, this Demon Lord, who had narrowly escaped becoming a skeletal specter, reclaimed its formidable Demon Body. Yet, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord displayed no elation at surviving the Celestial Spirit Fire's onslaught.

This was because it understood all too well:

if the third wave of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation was already monstrously unbearable, erupting as the legendary Celestial Spirit Fire, then the subsequent trials would undoubtedly be even more ferocious and arduous, escalating with each successive onslaught!

Overwhelmed by vexation, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, renowned for tens of thousands of years, fiercely crushed several thousand Mid-grade Profound Truth Jades. The constant cracking sounds echoed as countless threads of refined demonic qi seeped from the fractures, all of which the Celestial Eye Demon Lord promptly inhaled into its very being.

This substantial replenishment of demonic qi, coupled with the fact that over half its internal reserves had already been depleted, brought the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's demonic qi back to its peak perfection. Then, the ancient demon lifted its head, its gaze fixed upon the formidable tribulation clouds massed in the heavens, its eyes reflecting a complex tapestry of emotions.

Meanwhile, on the opposing side, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva offered a slight nod towards the void. Instantly, a pristine white lotus materialized before her. From its pod, nine lotus seeds detached and entered the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's mouth. The previously dimmed Buddha's Light then surged with brilliant intensity, clearly signaling the complete restoration of her Immortal Yuan, which had been depleted by nearly half.

The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva also raised her gaze towards the sky,

Having achieved the Great Success Bodhisattva stage through over a hundred thousand years of cultivation, her heart yearned to overcome this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation and ascend to the Upper Realm as a true Buddha, complete with Buddha Nature, profound wisdom, and immense power!

Yet, with the Celestial Spirit Fire manifesting as the third wave of tribulation, a chilling question arose: what forms might the dreaded fourth wave take?
