Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1204 - 512: The Power of a Palm (Part 2)

The immense demonic qi, meticulously gathered by the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord towards its core, had yet to fully coalesce. The colossal obsidian demon shield, designed to deflect the combined onslaughts of numerous peak Immortal Lords, had not yet materialized. Yet, Lin Xuankong's right palm, spanning hundreds of feet, had already made contact with the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord's chest!

"Pfft"

Without any thunderous clang or outward surge of energy,

Lin Xuankong's seemingly gentle right palm penetrated directly into the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord's chest. It obliterated a vast expanse of flesh, fractured its ribcage, and struck the heart within, reducing the multi-thousand-foot black organ to motes of dust, utterly vanishing within the supreme demon body!

This body, hailed as the Profound Yin Demon Sect's ultimate defense, boasting a resilience capable of withstanding forces many times that of a celestial tribulation, proved as yielding as butter meeting a searing blade before Lin Xuankong's Ten Thousand Buddha Statues, Ultimate Realm's Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. It offered no resistance, nor did it impede the palm's relentless advance!

Immediately after delivering this strike, Lin Xuankong's form blurred, reappearing by his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu. He spoke,

"Master, please activate the Luo Water Array and return to the Wine Immortal Sect's established Luo Water Array. This demon's supreme body possesses formidable regenerative capabilities; I estimate I shall need to employ more force and deliver several more impacts to utterly annihilate this Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu's smile widened, a palpable pride radiating from her,

for within the entirety of the Immortal Realm, none could handle the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord's supreme body with such apparent ease as her prime disciple. Not even the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva or the Elder Clan Leader of the Cyan Dragon Race could match this feat. Even Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, renowned as the foremost figure in the Immortal World, paled in comparison to the sheer might her disciple now displayed!

"Insolent cur! Insolent cur! Insolent cur!"

The Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord, reeling from Lin Xuankong's blow and the obliteration of its demon heart, retreated a considerable distance, cursing vehemently.

The void in its chest, where its demon heart once resided, began to mend as endless demonic qi flowed in, rapidly regenerating the lost flesh and bone. The formidable demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, by virtue of their inherent clan talent, possessed exceptionally potent life recovery powers!

This inherent resilience was the reason why, despite no demon lord-level cultivator successfully transcending their tribulation in tens of thousands of years, the majority of demon lords endured their celestial tribulations. Consequently, the number of demon lord-level powerhouses within the Profound Yin Demon Sect grew to match the combined might of the strongest Immortal Lords from the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and Spirit Platform Buddhism!

Furthermore,

this particular Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord already wielded a supreme demon body, granting it a regenerative capacity several times greater than any ordinary demon lord within the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

Yet, even with its ability to rapidly repair the damage to its supreme body,

the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord, after sustaining Lin Xuankong's attack, could not help but recoil hundreds of miles, a distinct wariness clouding its features!

In that moment, the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord's core sentiment shifted to a fervent desire for escape, its ambition to single-handedly subjugate the myriad powerhouses of the Immortal Realm evaporating entirely!

Lin Xuankong remained suspended in the air, his gaze not even deigning to acknowledge the retreating demon. Instead, he observed his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, initiating a compact, two-realm Luo Water Grand Array and commencing their journey back to the Wine Immortal Sect.

Only after Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu had safely entered the hundredfold Luo Water Array, meticulously established by Lin Xuankong himself, did he divert his attention. Glancing towards the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord, now several hundred miles distant, he spoke with icy finality:

"This initial strike is but a prelude, a lesson for your insolence towards my esteemed master!

The ensuing assaults will serve as retribution for the countless cultivators of the Human Race, the Demon Race, and Buddhism within the Immortal Realm who perished at the hands of you and the Huangquan Demon Lord across the millennia!"

Before his words had even fully dissipated, Lin Xuankong once again raised his right palm,

the distance notwithstanding,

The Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord, previously brimming with arrogance, was now fixated on Lin Xuankong’s right palm, retreating step by cautious step.

Lin Xuankong, channeling his spirit deep within his mind, activated his innate talent of "bullying the old and weak."

In that instant, a realization struck Lin Xuankong: his "bullying the old and weak" talent drastically amplified his attack power against opponents significantly older than himself! The Hehuan Demon Lord boasted of centuries of rampancy in the Immortal Realm, and the Huangquan Demon Lord it merged with was also an ancient entity, having plagued the Immortal Realm's Human, Demon, and Buddhist races for millennia! He pondered if their combined ages would amplify the effect, making the strike from his Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique truly terrifying!

Instantly, Lin Xuankong’s gaze shifted. His form transformed once more into a blinding golden streak of light, hurtling towards the distant Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord.

At this critical juncture,

the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord had already concentrated all its focus on Lin Xuankong.

Sensing Lin Xuankong’s sudden transformation into a golden blur, the cunning and formidable demon lord frantically deployed every defensive measure, rapidly positioning its immense black demon shield directly between itself and the approaching threat.

"Crack"

A strange, sharp sound emanated from the heart of the massive black demon shield, wielded by the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord.

This very shield had withstood the combined onslaught of dozens of the mightiest Immortal Lord-level experts without sustaining even a scratch, nor had its densely concentrated demon patterns shown any sign of wear!

Yet, in mere moments,

as Lin Xuankong’s right palm made forceful contact with the colossal black demon shield,

countless fissures immediately spiderwebbed across its surface. It was as if the supreme demon body’s renowned defense was less a formidable, millennia-unseen artifact and more akin to delicate, fragile porcelain!

Within the span of a thousandth of a breath,

the meticulously etched demon patterns adorning the massive black demon shield began to fracture and fade, one after another.

In another thousandth of a breath,

the gargantuan black demon shield, Lin Xuankong’s target, completely disintegrated with a series of sharp cracking sounds. The shattered remnants of demon patterns dissolved into a swirling vortex of condensed demonic qi!

The shield’s destruction wasn’t a testament to its inherent weakness, but rather the overwhelming might of Lin Xuankong’s Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, amplified by his peerless "bullying the old and weak" talent!

A cry of agony escaped the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord. The shattering of its supreme demon shield, an intrinsic life-bound treasure, inevitably dealt a grievous blow to the ancient demon from the Profound Yin Demon Sect.

Within five thousandths of a blink,

the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord desperately contorted its demonic form and fled towards the distant horizon, its sole aim to distance itself from the terrifying human powerhouse, Lin Xuankong! It understood with chilling clarity the devastating force of Lin Xuankong’s palm; the supreme demon shield, once impervious to dozens of the strongest Immortal Lords, had been rent asunder like mere parchment!

Within the Wine Immortal Sect’s Luo Water Array,

the first Grand Elder Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, who had previously urged caution upon Lin Xuankong, watched this spectacle unfold with wide, disbelieving eyes before erupting into hearty laughter.

"Hahahahaha, truly, as the demon grows a foot, the Dao expands by a yard! Even if the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord achieved a perfect merger, its strength rivalling dozens of peak Immortal Lords, what of it! Before Fellow Daoist Lin, the supreme demon body, a treasure rarely seen in the Profound Yin Demon Sect over countless eons, proved as fragile as a clay figurine!"
