Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1212 - 516: The Demon Sect Shaken (Part 2)

"Fellow Daoist Lin possesses the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, establishing him as a peerless and invincible force among all powerhouses at the Strongest Immortal Lord, Top Demon King, Great Success Bodhisattva, and Demon Lord levels within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!

Yet, the world extends beyond the skies, and even the highest peaks have others beyond them.

That Demon Child Gang Bone, after all, harbors a sliver of Celestial Demon Power and must not be taken lightly. Furthermore, this Demon Child Gang Bone can leverage that trace of Celestial Demon Power to significantly bolster the might of numerous Demon Generals and Demon Lords from the Profound Yin Demon Sect. This Celestial Demon Power warrants extreme caution, and I implore Fellow Daoist Lin to exercise utmost vigilance during this expedition!

For the myriad cultivators and beings across the entirety of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, your safety, Fellow Daoist Lin, is of paramount importance! Indeed, your innate talent and prospective growth, Fellow Daoist Lin, are sights Yu Zhen has never before witnessed in his lifetime!"

This Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, much like Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, while speaking to galvanize spirits, both subtly cautioned Lin Xuankong against underestimating the Demon Child Gang Bone of the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

It is evident that despite Lin Xuankong’s currently demonstrated astonishing speed in Immortal Path cultivation, his remarkable talent in artifact refining and array formations, and his profound mastery of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, neither Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva nor Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect feel entirely at ease.

Lin Xuankong engaged in a moment of quiet contemplation before presenting a Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch, containing between two to three thousand third, fourth, and fifth-grade immortal artifacts, to his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, conveying his thoughts through telepathy:

"Master, this time, with yourself and many esteemed seniors attacking alongside me, it is my hope that everything proceeds smoothly. However, regardless of the circumstances, one should always prioritize planning for a retreat before contemplating success! This Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch holds a collection of third, fourth, and fifth-grade immortal artifacts, and I have already meticulously inscribed the array patterns of the Luo Water Array upon each one.

Once we infiltrate the Profound Yin Demon Sect, should any unforeseen events arise, I trust you will assist me in deploying several Luo Water Arrays to manage any sudden crises!"

A quantity of third, fourth, and even fifth-grade immortal artifacts?

Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s eyebrows lifted slightly. Dispatching a wisp of Immortal Yuan into the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch to ascertain the presence of approximately three thousand immortal artifacts contained within, he found himself momentarily stunned.

What manner of unparalleled genius, akin to a Demon-level monster, is this true disciple, Lin Xuankong?

He had believed that within the Wine Immortal Sect, Lin Xuankong’s deployment of a vast number of immortal artifacts to establish hundreds of Second Realm Luo Water Arrays and his successful refinement of an eighth-grade immortal artifact represented his zenith. After all, throughout the immemorial history of the Immortal Realm, no other powerhouse has ever amassed over a thousand third and fourth-grade immortal artifacts!

Yet, this individual not only refined an eighth-grade immortal artifact and thousands of third and fourth-grade ones but also possesses such an abundant stock of third, fourth, and even fifth-grade immortal artifacts!

*Clink, clink*—the third-grade, fourth-grade, and even the fifth-grade immortal artifacts in my true disciple's possession seem less like incredibly rare, peerless treasures and more like readily available, discarded trinkets!

How has he achieved such a feat? It appears my understanding of this disciple grows increasingly inadequate; this individual will undoubtedly continue to astound and surprise me, his master, time and time again!

....

Within the encampment of the Profound Yin Demon Sect army,

Over a colossal mountain range, situated more than a billion miles from the Wine Immortal Sect, an overwhelming surge of Demonic Qi permeated the atmosphere, engulfing the entire sky and vast expanse of land in an oppressive darkness. Only the soaring, malevolent aura and faint tendrils of crimson Demon Flame pierced through the gloom.

Occupying the central dominion of this mountain range, atop dozens of the most imposing peaks, stood Demon Lords, each towering a thousand feet tall, their forms exuding condensed Demonic Qi.

At this precise moment, these numerous Demon Lords turned their gazes towards the outermost peak. Suddenly, one Demon Lord, also a thousand feet in stature, opened his vertically slitted pupils, a flicker of surprise registering on his countenance.

Seated in cross-legged meditation atop the tallest peak, Demon Child Gang Bone sensed the continuous undulations of Demonic Qi emanating from the Demon Lords. Unable to resist the impulse, he slightly parted his eyes, uttering:

"Li Hun, based on the timeline, Hehuan and Huangquan should have already arrived at the Wine Immortal Sect with those tens of thousands of human cultivators. Given that Hehuan and Huangquan are ranked just below the Third Saint Master among numerous Saint Masters, they should have been able to retreat even if the plan faltered. Why do you appear so panicked?"

Noticing the inquiry from Demon Child Gang Bone, Li Hun Demon Lord paused, bowed respectfully, and stated:

"Reporting to the Saint Heir, the plan for Hehuan and Huangquan to infiltrate the Wine Immortal Sect disguised among tens of thousands of human cultivators has failed. However, they successfully gambled on using the Integration Sacred Technique!"

The Third Demon Lord, situated on another peak, heard this and his expression shifted, surprise evident in his vertical pupils.

"The Integration Sacred Technique is exceptionally difficult to cultivate. Even with Hehuan having trained for hundreds of thousands of years, the success rate for its activation remains low. If the Integration Sacred Technique fails, at best it damages the Divine Soul and Holy Body; at worst, it shatters the Divine Soul, turning Hehuan and Huangquan into mindless monstrosities! It is unexpected that Hehuan and Huangquan successfully employed the Integration Sacred Technique, thus attaining the Supreme Holy Body!"

"The power wielded by the Supreme Holy Body is such that even if all the strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses from the human race in the Immortal Realm, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and Spirit Platform Buddhism joined forces to attack, they would be incapable of harming, let alone defeating, the Supreme Holy Body!"

"If what you reported is true, then with the aid of the Supreme Holy Body, Hehuan and Huangquan might have already overcome several of the strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses from the Immortal Realm's human race, the Demon Race, and the Buddhist Sect!"

"Yet, your current expression suggests you have witnessed something terrifying?"

The other Demon Lord-level powerhouses of the Profound Yin Demon Sect also appeared perplexed. Having each lived for over three hundred thousand years, such extensive lifespans and accumulated experience had undoubtedly allowed these formidable Demon Lords opportunities to practice the Integration Demon Technique!

Consequently, these Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect were acutely aware of the Integration Demon Technique's low success rate and even more cognizant of the immense power and terrifying nature of the Supreme Demon Body formed upon the successful integration of the Integration Demon Technique. Nevertheless, Li Hun Demon Lord's expression clearly did not convey relief over Hehuan and Huangquan's successful integration!

At this juncture, even Demon Child Gang Bone could not help but scrutinize Li Hun Demon Lord, solemnly commanding: "Report any development swiftly!"

Seeing this, Li Hun Demon Lord had no choice but to bow and relay his report:

"According to my Nine Gates Celestial Eye's probe,"

"Hehuan and Huangquan did indeed successfully integrate, attaining the Supreme Holy Body that our Holy Sect showcased to the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm millions of years ago."

"Following their achievement of the Supreme Holy Body, Hehuan and Huangquan effortlessly inflicted grievous wounds upon the renowned Immortal Lord Feiyun, celebrated for his unparalleled talent in Immortal Technique, and subdued the third most powerful figure of the Immortal Realm's human race, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu!"

"Unfortunately... unfortunately, just as Hehuan and Huangquan were leveraging the Supreme Holy Body to breach Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu's Luo Water Array, they were unexpectedly interrupted by the sudden appearance of Lin Xuankong!"

"That Lin Xuankong appears to have cultivated Spirit Platform Buddhism's foremost skill, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. Furthermore, he has somehow advanced this Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique to an extraordinary level. He... with a single blow, he shattered the Supreme Holy Shield, and with his second strike, he wounded the Supreme Holy Body of Hehuan and Huangquan!"

"Subsequently, Lin Xuankong, utilizing the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique at its high realm, completely annihilated the Supreme Holy Body of Hehuan and Huangquan. Based on my Nine Gates Celestial Eye's observations, Hehuan and Huangquan's Divine Souls should have been erased, utterly perished!"

"What? After attaining the Supreme Holy Body, Hehuan and Huangquan were directly destroyed by Lin Xuankong, their Divine Souls completely annihilated, utterly perished?"

Demon Lord Li Hun, are you aware that you're uttering absurdity? Setting aside whether Hehuan and Huangquan have attained the Supreme Holy Body... Based on the scout's report, Lin Xuankong is merely at the Fourth-Grade Immortal Path Realm. Even though he has already refined fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade immortal artifacts, with such a low Immortal Path Realm... it's impossible for him to cause the complete downfall of Hehuan and Huangquan, who have cultivated for eight hundred thousand years, even if he were to rely on a multitude of Middle- to High-Grade immortal artifacts to wound them!

The Third Demon Lord fixed Li Hun Demon Lord with a stern glare, rebuking him sharply.
