Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1159 - 490: The Final Strike (Part 2)

Witnessing the magnificent might of Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva as victory was secured, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race was filled with overwhelming emotion, reflecting that to behold the power of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact in one's lifetime was truly a fulfillment without regret!

"Indeed, Clan Leader Grandfather! This is an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact personally forged by our Young Master, perhaps even surpassing any Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts documented in ancient records!" The Cyan-forehead Qilin couldn't resist adding, noticing the Elder Clan Leader's emotional state.

Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er gently squeezed Lin Xuankong's hand, her gaze filled with a touch of awe as she looked at him.

Confronted with the formidable Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, Guang Yu'er, who considered herself exceptionally powerful after reaching the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, suddenly comprehended her own helplessness. In the face of such a terrifying celestial tribulation, she realized she was incapable of intervening or offering any aid to Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

Yet, her beloved Lin Xuankong, merely at the Fourth Grade Realm, had employed an astonishing and novel refining technique, transforming Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's struggle against the tribulation into an effortless passage!

Truly, this is my beloved Guang Yu'er, as expected to be so formidable!

Such thoughts brought a visible swell of pride and admiration toward Lin Xuankong from the typically haughty Strongest Immortal Lord.

Moments later,

Serenity finally descended upon the area outside the Luo Water Array, the reverberations of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact slicing through the void ceasing.

And Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, bolstered by the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact bestowed by Lin Xuankong, successfully navigated the Jianmu Calamity with the anticipated ease!

As the colossal leaves and branches of the Jianmu, manifested within the tribulation clouds, gradually receded, and the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation began to marshal its subsequent onslaught, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva retrieved the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact descending from the heavens, clasping it firmly in her grasp.

Although Buddhist cultivators traditionally emphasize the cultivation of the heart and eschew reliance on external objects!

Nevertheless, this was an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, experienced firsthand, feeling the potent energy coursing through it...

Despite her resolute spiritual disposition, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva couldn't suppress a surge of inner elation and profound affection, her hands caressing the artifact's surface with palpable adoration. Her deep cherishing of this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact was evident.

After a span of excited admiration for the blade, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism composed herself, centering her thoughts. She then turned her attention toward the Luo Water Array, projecting her voice imbued with Immortal Yuan,

"Immortal Lin! Without the aid of your blade, I, Yu Ming, would likely have perished in the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation. Considering this, Immortal Lin has effectively preserved my life on two separate occasions!"

From afar, within the Luo Water Array, Lin Xuankong offered a slight shake of his head upon hearing her words. "Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, such formalities are unnecessary! Moreover, you should not be diverting your attention to express gratitude at this juncture but should instead remain vigilant against the impending wave of celestial tribulation! The Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is renowned as one of the three paramount calamities, and the ensuing assaults are expected to escalate in ferocity with each cycle!"

However, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism suddenly appeared to be struck by a realization, her expression growing serious. She addressed Lin Xuankong directly,

"While Yu Ming's strength may not rank among the foremost experts in our Immortal Realm, with Immortal Lin's Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, the probability of surviving this immediate Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is considerably elevated!

Furthermore, should I, Yu Ming, successfully overcome this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation today and ascend to the Upper Realm, I shall undoubtedly remember Immortal Lin's invaluable assistance!"

Lin Xuankong couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's declaration, shaking his head.

Previously, upon recognizing the nature of the celestial tribulation as the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, scarcely any cultivator within the Luo Water Array had harbored the conviction that Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva could surmount such an unprecedented and terrifying trial. Not even my cherished Strongest Immortal Lord, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, nor the esteemed Little Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism, had placed much faith in her success!

With the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact now within Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s grasp, the attitudes of Yu’er, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, and the younger prodigies from various sects and clans underwent a complete transformation. Their initial doubt about Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva overcoming the tribulation shifted to a strong belief that she now possessed a significant chance to surmount the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation!

Indeed, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva herself exuded newfound confidence, already envisioning her successful crossing of the tribulation and subsequent ascension to the Upper Realm!

And this is merely with one Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact presented.

If all the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts from the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch were revealed, I can only imagine the expressions that would grace the faces of the numerous Immortal Realm Human Race cultivators, the gifted younger generations from various clans, and the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race. It would surely be a sight to behold!

Furthermore, this is just an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact. Should I unveil my own Immortal Artifact, which has already progressed to the supreme Ninth-Grade, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race and those talented younger generations from various sects and clans might very well be left utterly speechless, their jaws agape!

Not long thereafter,

The ominous tribulation clouds gathering in the sky began their ominous transformation…

...

Approximately an hour later,

Within the Luo Water Array, the flawless, smooth countenance of the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er revealed a slightly parted mouth as she whispered in awe, "Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, wielding such formidable Immortal Lord-level power coupled with an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, is undeniably, outrageously potent!"

The seventh wave, the Nail-head Ten Thousand Arrows Tribulation, and the eighth wave, the Heavenly Star Big Dipper Tribulation, were both celestial trials whose sheer terror dwarfed even that of the Jianmu Calamity!

Had it not been for the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, given Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s inherent strength confronting these two waves of celestial tribulation, she might have met her demise within mere moments. Yet, empowered by the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact you bestowed, Lin Xuankong, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva managed to navigate these two formidable challenges with relative ease."

The Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, whose expression had initially been etched with grave concern during Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s tribulation, now wore a visage of relaxed relief.

"Immortal Lord Guang, you jest! This is an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact that vanished from existence millions of years ago! With such a potent artifact in one's possession, let alone Great Success Bodhisattva, even someone like myself, whose strength falls considerably short of hers, could likely rely on the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact to overcome those two major calamities!"

"It is simply that the nature of the final tribulation of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation remains unknown!"

"Judging by the preceding events, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva might very well maintain her prior state of relaxed combat efficiency."

With those words, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race turned his gaze towards Lin Xuankong, let out a sigh, and remarked:

"Throughout our entire Immortal Realm, encompassing our Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, the Demon Realm of the Profound Yin Sect, and the Buddha Realm of Spirit Platform Buddhism, no one has successfully crossed a celestial tribulation with such ease for hundreds of thousands of years. To my knowledge, over the past few hundred millennia, close to a hundred cultivators of the Strongest Immortal Lord level have tragically perished due to confronting formidable celestial tribulations!"

"If only Immortal Lin had graced this world hundreds of thousands of years earlier, perhaps the esteemed predecessors of our Immortal Realm, nearly a hundred souls, could have navigated their celestial tribulations without peril!"

Upon processing these words, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race before shaking her head with a gentle laugh.

"Why such lamentations, Elder Clan Leader!"

"It is a matter of destiny; over the preceding hundreds of thousands of years, those Strongest Immortal Lord-level predecessors regrettably lacked the opportunity to encounter Lin Xuankong."

"However, looking ahead, should Lin Xuankong undertake the refinement of more Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, our Immortal Realm Human Race, your Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and the future generations of Spirit Platform Buddhism will all find their paths considerably smoother. In the times to come, apart from the ultimate celestial tribulation reserved for Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses, other celestial tribulations will scarcely warrant concern."

The Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race paused upon hearing this, then shook his head with a smile, "That is true, Immortal Lin’s astonishing artifact refining technique will definitely revolutionize the entire Immortal Realm in the future!"

At this moment, Lin Xuankong focused his gaze outside the Luo Water Array, carefully observing the situation of the tribulation clouds in the sky,

Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was about to face the last wave of celestial tribulation attacks; just unsure how terrifying and powerful this final strike would be?
