Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1198 - 509: Destined Fate (2)

Blocked from retreat by the formidable Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord, with no clear path back to the Luo Water Array of the Wine Immortal Sect, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, situated within the miniature Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array, could only furrow her elegant brow in helplessness. She poured all her Immortal Yuan into the thirty-six Array Hubs surrounding her.

As Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s condensed Immortal Yuan surged, the previously vanished and collapsed Array Patterns on the light membrane of the miniature Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array began to reappear!

Indeed, Immortal Lord Luoshui was the foremost prodigy in Array Formations within the Immortal Realm. Her talent in Arrays far surpassed Lin Xuankong’s. Facing the relentless assault of the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord, she was single-handedly repairing the Array amid the onslaught, effectively stemming the terrifying destructive force of the Demon Lord’s Supreme Demon Body!

Yet, alas,

despite the rapid pace at which Immortal Lord Luoshui mended the damaged Array Patterns,

the speed at which they were being destroyed by the full-force blows of the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord’s Supreme Demon Body seemed even greater!

Mere dozens of breaths later,

the remaining Array Patterns on the light membrane of the miniature Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array had diminished by nearly one percent!

This seemingly small fraction signified a dire outcome: if Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu and the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord continued this struggle, in just over ten thousand breaths, the miniature Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array she had painstakingly laid would be breached. A gap would form, allowing the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord to strike directly at Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s true form!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s brows drew closer, a hint of despair clouding her eyes.

She knew full well that possessing several more Immortal Artifacts might alter her predicament. At the very least, before the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord’s Supreme Demon Body could penetrate the Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array, she could have swiftly erected another layer of the Luo Water Grand Array!

But who could have foreseen the successful fusion of the Hehuan Demon Lord and the Yellow Springs Demon Lord, resurrecting the Supreme Demon Body that had once terrified the entire Immortal Realm millions of years ago? The formidable defense and destructive might of such a Supreme Demon Body surpassed even the power displayed by the First Demon Lord Fan Yu during his rampage through the Immortal Realm! Without the emergence of this Supreme Demon Body, how could any Demon Lord within the Profound Yin Demon Sect have possibly eroded the Array Patterns of a potent formation like the Luo Water Grand Array with such alarming speed!

For a Demon Lord-level expert to shatter a Ninth Grade Realm Sect Protection Array was an arduous feat, typically requiring months, if not years, of sustained assault. This was particularly true for the formidable Luo Water Grand Array, and especially a Second Realm variant! Under normal circumstances, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu would only need a set of Immortal Artifacts to establish a single Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array, ensuring the countless powerhouses of the Immortal Realm would be held at bay for at least several months, potentially even years!

Yet, the Yellow Springs Demon Lord and Hehuan Demon Lord had accomplished their fusion, manifesting such a powerful and terrifying Supreme Demon Body!

In this moment, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu could only offer a sigh to the heavens: It is the ordained time, it is fate!

Within the Luo Water Grand Array of the Wine Immortal Sect,

Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, the esteemed Cyan Dragon Race Elder Clan Leader, the venerable Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, and other top-tier powerhouses at the Immortal Lord level from across the Immortal Realm were fully unleashing their Immortal Yuan. They deployed their most exquisite Immortal Techniques, Demon Techniques, and Buddhist Techniques, striving to completely suppress the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord, thereby creating a safe passage for Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu to escape the Demon’s clutches!

Alas, the massive black Demon Shield, safeguarding the Supreme Demon Lord, rendered all assaults from the assembled rank-and-file of Immortal Lord-level powerhouses utterly useless. These earth-shattering Immortal Techniques, Demon Techniques, and Buddhist Techniques proved incapable of inflicting even the slightest injury upon the Supreme Demon Body!

At this juncture, even Immortal Lord Feiyun, ensnared by the condensed Demonic Qi, betrayed a flicker of apprehension in her eyes. She desperately channeled her Immortal Yuan, inching backward towards the protective light membrane of the Luo Water Grand Array, thereby seeking to evade becoming the next target of the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord!

Now, once incomparably haughty and hailed as the foremost Cultivation prodigy of the Immortal Realm, she found herself confronting the Supreme Demon Body, an entity that had sent shockwaves through the entire Immortal Realm centuries prior. Panic began to well within her, accompanied by a profound sense of helplessness!

Regardless of her reluctance, she was compelled to acknowledge that her Flying Cloud Immortal Technique, painstakingly refined and elevated over countless millennia through her exceptional Immortal Technique Talent, appeared utterly insignificant when pitted against the ferocious might of such a Supreme Demon Body!

And it wasn't solely Immortal Lord Feiyun;

each of the Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses, currently in the throes of unleashing their full might with Immortal Techniques, Demon Techniques, and Buddhist Techniques, gazed upon the colossal black Demon Shield—a seemingly impenetrable barrier—and the towering Supreme Demon Body of the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord, still stretching over two hundred thousand-zhang. A distinct sense of powerlessness began to stir within their hearts.

These formidable figures who had ascended to the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm,

which among them was not a paragon of talent, a peerless prodigy among the divinely chosen?

Particularly within the Human Race, where the very act of becoming a Cultivator was already a rarity,

to distinguish oneself amongst billions upon billions of Cultivators, to endure successive Celestial Tribulations potent enough to annihilate ninety-nine percent of all Cultivators—these prodigies of prodigies, chosen ones of chosen ones, who had repeatedly cheated death—which one of them did not possess an arrogant, proud spirit!

Yet, in this very moment, faced with the Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord, who effortlessly deflected the onslaught of dozens of Strongest Immortal Lord-level adversaries, confronted by that Supreme Demon Body, an entity once relegated only to legend, these many Strongest Immortal Lords, these countless chosen ones among the chosen, all experienced a crushing depth of helplessness, an overwhelming powerlessness.

The reason was simple: the disparity was insurmountable!

That Supreme Demon Body stood resolute, permitting these powerhouses, who occupied the zenith of the Immortal Realm, to strike a thousand times, ten thousand times, a million times, and still, it appeared incapable of sustaining even the slightest damage!

Little did these combatants realize, however,

that even the Supreme Demon Body which had once terrorized the entire Immortal Realm eons ago never possessed the sheer magnitude of power as the Supreme Demon Body now formed by the convergence of the current Hehuan Demon Lord and Yellow Springs Demon Lord! This was because both the Hehuan Demon Lord and the Yellow Springs Demon Lord, who had merged on this occasion, had each undergone a profound Metamorphosis via the Celestial Demon Power emanating from the Demon Child Gang Bone, thereby imbuing them with a sliver of Pseudo Celestial Demon Power, akin to true Celestial Demon Power!

Consequently, upon the fusion of the two Demons into a singular Supreme Demon Body, it naturally inherited a trace of this Pseudo Celestial Demon Power. A Supreme Demon Body that had already attained such formidable might as to inspire despair and awe countless Immortal Realm powerhouses millions of years prior, when augmented by even a fragment of Celestial Demon Power, was akin to a tiger gaining wings—its capabilities becoming exponentially more overbearing, exponentially more terrifying, its defensive prowess and overall Power escalating to truly horrifying levels!

Time, relentless and unyielding,

marched onward. Upon the luminous membrane of the miniaturized Second Realm Luo Water Grand Array, which served as protection for Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, the remaining Array Patterns had dwindled to less than half of their original number.

Despite the continuous infusion of condensed Immortal Yuan by Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, causing many of the dissipated Array Patterns to regenerate with each incoming assault, if this attrition persisted, the inevitable conclusion would be the array's collapse and her subsequent capture!

Under the overwhelming and terrifying power of the Supreme Demon Body, even if Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu managed to activate a Spirit Vein Transference before the Array dissolved and entered her own Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm, escape would be utterly impossible. The Hehuan Yellow Springs Demon Lord could potentially invade her Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm directly, causing havoc and completely annihilating her Secret Realm!

The predicament she faced appeared to be entirely sealed!

As time continued to flow, and the Array Patterns on the light membrane dwindled to a mere tenth,

despite Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu's immense reluctance, she had no choice but to accept that this tribulation unfolding before her was seemingly her destined fate!

Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s gaze lifted towards the hundred-layered Luo Water Grand Array blanketing the Wine Immortal Sect, observing the superimposed layers of Array light membranes above. She spoke silently within her heart: Fortuitously, before facing this dire tribulation in the Immortal Demon War, I obtained a cherished and fitting disciple. Given sufficient time, my True Disciple Lin Xuankong will undoubtedly mature. Even if the Immortal Realm Human Race currently suffers a disadvantage, with an unparalleled genius like Xuankong, a resurgence is assured!

The instant this thought surfaced, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s attention shifted. She abruptly noticed, emanating from the highest point of the Wine Immortal Sect's First Spirit Peak, specifically from the vicinity of her disciple Xuankong’s estate, two figures rapidly ascending.
