Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1134 - 478: Netherworld Water Tribulation
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
Deep within the Luo Water Array,
the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race found himself compelled to speak:
"While the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is mentioned in ancient scriptures, its actual occurrence is exceptionally rare. The last recorded instance predates us by hundreds of thousands of years, leaving its details quite obscure! I truly never fathomed that this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation would manifest with such immense power. Merely the third wave has unleashed the Celestial Spirit Fire. It leaves me to ponder what legendary tribulation attack might follow! My fervent hope is that the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva can endure this trial, one that no cultivator has ever successfully overcome!"
At this juncture, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race directed his gaze towards Lin Xuankong and the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, continuing his discourse:
"Nevertheless, bearing witness to the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, with its myriad of combined tribulation attacks,
presents a highly valuable learning opportunity for Immortal Lord Guang and Immortal Lin as they approach their own final tribulations in the future!
After all, the chance to observe the resolution of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is exceedingly rare!
Within our Immortal Realm, powerful Immortal Lord-level cultivators are few, and encountering the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is an even rarer occurrence!
It is my sincere hope that you both will not squander the chance afforded by Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s ongoing tribulation. Observe meticulously the methods, power, and forms of these tribulation attacks to better prepare yourselves for your eventual final tribulations!"
At this moment, a thought seemed to strike the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, prompting him to swiftly add:
"Naturally, my words are not meant to imply a wish for Immortal Lord Guang and Immortal Lin to face such a formidable Five Elements Extermination Tribulation for their own final trials!
Such a terrifying ordeal is truly…"
Having uttered these words, he cast his eyes towards the turbulent, ominous clouds outside and fell into silence. Perhaps he was calculating how many stages he, as the esteemed Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, could possibly navigate if he were to face this terrifying Five Elements Extermination Tribulation himself.
However, judging by the expression on the elder Qilin’s face,
it became evident that he possessed absolutely no confidence in surmounting this legendary tribulation that had never been successfully crossed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong offered a slight nod,
naturally grasping the wisdom in the principle of self-awareness and opponent knowledge leading to victory. The opportunity to personally witness this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation was indeed a rare gift for him! Although the texts of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and the Luo Water Immortal Sect detailed various forms of tribulations, the majority pertained to thunder tribulations. This exceptionally rare and potent Five Elements Extermination Tribulation was truly a sight to behold, potentially one that appears once in several million years!
Furthermore, the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation presented such a diverse array of offensive tribulation forms, akin to multiple final tribulations converging into one, thus offering immense observational value!
Most critically,
Lin Xuankong possessed a rather clear self-assessment.
Ever since his initial entry into the Initial Tier Earth Immortal realm, progressing to Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal, and subsequently reaching the Initial Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord, the thunder tribulations he had endured were demonstrably more terrifying than those faced by any other Earth Immortal he knew! Consider, for instance, the Thirty-Six Great Celestial Immortal Tribulations... Lin Xuankong harbored suspicions that his Life Plate and innate Talent were too overwhelmingly defiant, consequently attracting excessively potent thunder tribulations with each advancement in realm!
Fortunately, the progression from Initial Tier Earth Immortal to Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal involved thunder tribulations for all Earth Immortals, meaning that despite the fearsome tribulations Lin Xuankong encountered, they remained within the established forms of thunder tribulation attacks. Therefore, armed with numerous High-Grade Immortal Artifacts, he navigated those tribulations with considerable ease and comfort!
However,
when he ascends to the Late Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm and confronts his final tribulation,
Lin Xuankong harbored a suspicion that the heavens might deliberately target him with exceptionally severe tribulations!
Hmm, a highly probable scenario!
Consequently, observing the peculiar and intensely powerful Five Elements Extermination Tribulation that Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva was presently enduring was of paramount importance for him, serving as preparation for the devastating final tribulation he would inevitably face in the future!
Take the third wave attack of the Celestial Spirit Fire as an example... it served as a stark warning to Lin Xuankong. Clearly an attack utilizing flame, yet it possessed the ability to penetrate any form of defense—be it Immortal Technique, Magical Treasure, Immortal Artifact, or Spiritual Treasure—directly impacting the very beings of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva and Celestial Eye Demon Lord, their Immortal Yuan, and even their Demonic Qi. This tribulation attack was indeed astonishingly brazen, almost on par with his own Talent, [Piercing the Mountain and Hitting the Ox], callously shameless!
What manner of tribulation attack would manifest as the fourth wave? Would it be even more terrifying, even more shamelessly potent?
Given that this ordeal is named the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, and the third wave unleashed the Celestial Spirit Fire, could the subsequent onslaught feature elemental attacks of water, earth, metal, and wood? Dwelling on this possibility, Lin Xuankong's spirits lifted. He fixed his gaze upon the heavens, looking past the Luo Water Array and above Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva. At that precise moment, the dense tribulation clouds that had enveloped the entire sky began to churn violently above the heads of both Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva and Celestial Eye Demon Lord. Two colossal, shadowy abysses opened within the swirling clouds, from which emanated the overwhelming roar of churning water and the cacophony of countless tormented cries from humans, beasts, demons, ghosts, and monsters alike! "Water sounds?" Beside Lin Xuankong, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, her grip tightening on his hand, displayed a look of astonishment.
