Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1165 - 493: The Charm of That Sword (Part 2)

At this very moment,

the instant the Celestial Sword erupted from Yu Ming Celestial Buddha's position,

Lin Xuankong perceived the world's time as having ground to a halt!

Then, he observed the Celestial Sword, against the backdrop of a frozen celestial and earthly realm, slice through the hundreds of bowing demons and demon generals of the Profound Yin Demon Sect with astonishing, terrifying velocity, morphing into an unbroken streak that impaled each demon and general!

Almost instantaneously, due to the speed that generated the sword's silhouette, it departed the area occupied by millions of demons and generals, hurtling towards the nineteen demon lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

These nineteen demon lords had already retreated thousands of miles in a mere instant, with distances stretching nearly ten thousand miles between them, yet before the fearsome sword shadow forged by that Celestial Sword, the immense expanse seemed to shrink to mere proximity!

Lin Xuankong felt as though only a sliver of a breath, perhaps even less, was what it took for the sword's shadow to bridge the boundless distance, piercing directly through the positions of those nineteen demon lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

Neither the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Lord, who had manifested thirty thousand avatars in a desperate situation,

nor the Soul Shifting Demon Lord, renowned for his potent divine soul capabilities, now employing the Blood Burning Demon Technique,

nor the other dozen veteran demon lords who had traversed the Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years,

could evade capture!

Even the first to flee, the most potent and swift among them, the First Demon Lord Fan Yu, did not escape; despite having fled eight thousand miles at a terrifying speed, he was still pierced by that sword shadow within the span of a breath!

In the subsequent moment,

the sword shadow returned to the vicinity of the Jade Buddha Lord,

after which this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, birthed from the Heavenly Tribulation, reverted to its form as the Celestial Sword alongside Yu Ming Celestial Buddha and was repelled toward the spatial passage by the world power of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, vanishing with a flash of light, as did the colossal form of the Jade Buddha Lord and the Heavenly Sword forged from the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact. The spatial passage, resembling a gaping maw, vanished concurrently, and the sky reclaimed its serene azure!

Having witnessed this spectacle firsthand, Lin Xuankong’s eyes had long betrayed a glimmer of elation,

he drew his gaze from the heavens, turning to observe the multitude of demons and generals of the Profound Yin Demon Sect impaled by the sword shadow, and the nineteen demon lords who had scattered in flight!

In the very next instant,

the countenances of every demon, general, and demon lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect bore an expression of absolute despair, a profound hopelessness that eclipsed even the despair seen when the Celestial Eye Demon Lord faced imminent demise in the Celestial Tribulation!

Immediately,

the bodies of every demon, general, and every demon lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect commenced a violent trembling,

the demonic qi they had accumulated over eons dissipated around them, and their visages, forms, and demonic armor rapidly developed fissures, from which brilliant golden Buddha's light incessantly emanated!

With the emergence of these cracks, with the persistent glimmer of this golden Buddha's light,

those numbering close to millions, nearing ten million demons and generals, encompassing the nineteen formidable demon lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, and even the First Demon Lord Fan Yu, celebrated for surviving numerous Celestial Demon Tribulations, disintegrated into countless fragments, utterly and completely pulverized into minuscule particles...

This scene was profoundly astonishing,

yet no explosive sound accompanied the disintegration,

the demons, generals, and demon lords appeared to have their vitality utterly extinguished prior to death, precluding even a single cry of agony!

However,

every cultivator who bore witness to this event directly, including Lin Xuankong, remained rooted in place, dumbfounded by the terrifying finality presented before their eyes!

Whether Earth Immortal cultivators from the Wine Immortal Sect, or the promising young talents from various immortal sects and clans, or formidable entities such as the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader and the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, all were rendered speechless!

The majority of them had encountered records within their respective sects' chronicles detailing Earth Immortals transcending celestial tribulations to attain Celestial Immortal status, as well as accounts of demon lords surpassing Celestial Demon Tribulations to become Celestial Demons, or Great Demon Kings overcoming Celestial Demon Tribulations to become Celestial Demons, but none had ever encountered a depiction of Celestial Demons, Celestial Demons, or Celestial Buddhas taking action in any of these annals!

This time,

they bore witness to it!

For a full ten breaths, a profound silence gripped the assembled Earth Immortals and cultivators, leaving them utterly stunned and immobile.

After a significant pause,

Lin Xuankong's nearby Cyan-forehead Qilin exclaimed,

"Good heavens, good heavens! Is this truly the might of a Celestial Buddha-level expert? It's simply unfathomable! Those were millions, perhaps nearly ten million demons and generals, including those wielding Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts, whose power far surpassed a typical Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal. Yet, in less than a fraction of a breath, maybe a thousandth, these countless beings vanished, eradicated by a single sword strike! Not a single one among them had the chance to utter a sound before their demise!

This Celestial Buddha is overwhelmingly powerful!"

Stirred by the Cyan-forehead Qilin's outcry, numerous cultivators, Earth Immortals, and promising young talents from various sects and clans seemed to awaken from their daze.

Instantly,

A torrent of excited discussions erupted across the entirety of the Wine Immortal Sect's First Spirit Peak!

"Truly, terrifyingly potent! I've often imagined what it would be like for Celestial Buddha, Celestial Demon, or Celestial Immortal-level experts to unleash their power. While sect records detail Earth Immortals achieving Celestial Immortal status, they seldom describe the actions of Celestial Buddha-level powerhouses. Thus, it was left to conjecture! But even in my wildest fantasies, I never conceived that the strength of Celestial Immortal-level Celestial Buddha-realm experts would be this terrifying!

Weren't those forces composed of nearly a third of the Profound Yin Demon Sect's elite? If not for Immortal Lin's Hundredfold Luo Water Array providing sanctuary, we here would have lasted mere hours before being annihilated!

And yet, this overwhelming might, capable of devastating half the Immortal Realm, such a horrifying assembly of Profound Yin Demon Sect elites, was utterly annihilated by a solitary sword, by a Celestial Buddha, in a fleeting moment – a fraction of a breath, perhaps a thousandth!

With such power, the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm could be flattened in less than a single breath!"

"Far more than that! Not only were all those millions, indeed nearly ten million formidable demons and generals, wiped out, but all nineteen demon lords perished as well!

This annihilation included the entirety of the Profound Yin Demon Sect's nineteen renowned veteran demon lords, none other than the First Demon Lord Fan Yu himself! These seasoned lords, famed for their longevity and robust life force, even a single one, when faced by a Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal like myself, might withstand attacks for months or years without sustaining significant injury!

Yet, such a vast contingent, such potent nineteen demon lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, are all gone, without even the time to blink, let alone a moment's notice!"

"No wonder everyone in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm strives relentlessly to become a Celestial Buddha, Celestial Immortal, Celestial Demon, Celestial Demon! Such overwhelming power, such a devastating offensive capability, who wouldn't yearn for it!"

"The majesty of a Celestial Buddha is indeed world-altering!

I once believed I would be content if, one day, I ascended to the rank of a Strongest Immortal Lord-level expert with an extended lifespan!

But today, witnessing the Celestial Buddha Yu Ming in action... tsk tsk, a Strongest Immortal Lord-level expert, considered the zenith in our Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, is utterly insignificant before a Celestial Buddha-level powerhouse; not to mention a single Strongest Immortal Lord, perhaps all the Strongest Immortal Lord-level experts in the entirety of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm combined would not suffice against a solitary strike from a Celestial Buddha-realm expert!"

A multitude of cultivators, Earth Immortals, and budding talents from various sects and clans, at this very moment, exclaimed and conversed animatedly, as if this vocal outpouring was the sole means to express the profound astonishment within their hearts!
