A difficult Silver Thread Sword Tribulation looms for Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva. The Qilin elder and Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu'er worry about her defensive capabilities and treasures, discussing lending immortal artifacts. Lin Xuankong, however, remains confident, suggesting Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva might overcome the tribulation on her own, much to the confusion of the others. As the tribulation begins, hundreds of silver light points descend, forcing the Celestial Eye Demon Lord and Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva to defend themselves.
"Ding ding ding ding ding"
The heavenly descent of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, its formidable power concentrated beyond measure, impacted the golden shield of the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva. No power spread outwards, and not much noise was made!
However,
while the sound was insignificant, the power was terrifyingly immense!
As hundreds of silver light points, the foremost of which carried the terrifying might of the Celestial Tribulation, fully exerted their force upon the golden shield protecting the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, the shield began to tremble incessantly. The densely packed Buddhist phenomena that had once adorned the shield started vanishing at a rapid pace!
With the increasing number of silver light points bombarding the golden shield,
the seemingly impenetrable shield, capable of withstanding the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's red light beam for extended periods, surprisingly began to exhibit distinct cracks, resembling fragile golden glass on the verge of shattering!
Most alarmingly, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva was simultaneously employing her Buddha Light Divine Techniques. Yet, the brilliant Buddha's Light emanating from her form could not repel any of the hundreds of silver light points hovering above her!
These silver light points were slender needles, as thin as a cow's hair and only a palm's length. They appeared remarkably delicate; compared to the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva they were assaulting, they were truly minuscule! The Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s Buddha Body was fully manifested, towering over ten thousand feet. Still, these minuscule silver needles disregarded the might of her Buddha Light Divine Techniques and proceeded to fracture the golden shield, which had been condensed by her most potent Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!
Straining to maintain the golden shield, exerting immense effort to fend off the silver needles, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's previously serene and tranquil visage had long since transformed into one of profound solemnity.
During the preceding rounds of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation attacks, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva had managed to resist, albeit with some difficulty, without her life ever being imperiled. Now, facing the fifth round of strikes from the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva was acutely aware of the dreadful nature of the silver needles descending upon her!
The crux of the matter is,
this is merely the initial onslaught of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation's assault,
featuring a mere few hundred silver needles incessantly striking the golden shield of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!
Yet, at this very moment, above the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's head, within the tribulation cloud enveloping the entire sky, the number of nurtured silver needles could be in the millions, tens of millions, or perhaps even more!
In that instant,
a hint of despair began to creep into the formerly unperturbed heart of the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva.
Though she was adept in Buddhist Techniques, possessed a refined Divine Soul, and had an exceptionally keen Wisdom Root, this did not imply the Great Success Bodhisattva was willing to perish under the celestial tribulation! She had dedicated hundreds of thousands of years to studying Buddhist Techniques with the singular objective of overcoming the ultimate tribulation before her, aiming to attain the Buddha Realm—a feat unmatched for millennia!
On one hand, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva battled strenuously against the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation. On the other, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord found itself in an even more precarious situation!
Despite the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's power being amplified by a sliver of Celestial Demon Power from the Demon Child Gang Bone, the Celestial Eye Demon Technique currently unleashed wielded the terrifying potency of the Curse of Time. However, it was evident that these silver needles originating from the celestial tribulation were also infused with power from the Upper Realm. The Curse of Time within the Celestial Eye Demon Technique proved incapable of making these silver needles vanish under the ravages of time!
At this critical juncture,
the crimson beam emitted from the giant eye situated on the Celestial Eye Demon Lord’s forehead
was being relentlessly pursued by the hundreds of silver needles, with mere hundreds of feet separating them from its solitary eye!
The veteran Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect observed the encroaching silver needles within the red beam, its pupils involuntarily constricting further and further, while its demonic qi continuously vaporized—a clear indication it had been pushed to its absolute limit!
Despite the Celestial Eye Demon Technique's urging and the mobilization of its ancient demonic qi cultivated over hundreds of thousands of years, the slow advance of those shimmering silver needles remained unstoppable!
The Celestial Eye Demon Technique, wielded by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, was undeniably potent. This seasoned warrior from the Profound Yin Demon Sect could typically overwhelm even formidable opponents like the Qiaan Yuan Demon Lord, the Kunyuan Demon Lord, or the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lords, powerhouses at the Strongest Immortal Lord level!
Yet, faced with a mere few hundred silver needles, this mighty Celestial Eye Demon Lord found itself utterly helpless!
The reason for this vulnerability was clear: the Celestial Eye Demon Technique was not an exceptionally powerful defensive art. While it proved exceedingly formidable against Human Race cultivators of the Immortal Realm, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, or cultivators from Buddhist Sects, boasting terrifying offensive capabilities and a touch of the Curse of Time that left opponents vexed and struggling, its lack of defensive prowess rendered it largely ineffective against the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation.
Even the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, who possessed the Perfection Realm’s Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, had been forced into a desperate situation while attempting to deploy it. What hope then did the Celestial Eye Demon Lord have?
As the silver needles drew nearer,
the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's heart teetered on the brink of despair!
Though it had never personally felt the sting of these silver needles from the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, the Celestial Eye Demon Lord harbored an absolute certainty: upon their piercing the crimson beam and impaling its Demon Body, its chances of survival would be nonexistent.
