Lin Xuankong declared he would let his opponent, Demon Child Gang Bone, attack three times first. Despite warnings from allies, Lin Xuankong stood firm, and Gang Bone, insulted, powered up his demonic qi, revealing a strength far greater than previously shown. Even the formidable Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva doubted Lin Xuankong's ability to withstand this escalated power.

The Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism harbored no doubts about Lin Xuankong's capabilities...

Lin Xuankong's displayed might, coupled with the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique he wielded, earned the profound admiration and respect of the Great Accomplishment Yu Zhen Bodhisattva!

Yet, in the perspective of the Great Accomplishment Yu Zhen Bodhisattva,

Regardless of the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique's potency,

And irrespective of the astonishing natural gifts and faculties Lin Xuankong possessed,

The power he commanded originated, ultimately, from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!

The current emanations from the Demon Child Gang Bone, the strength being unleashed, conveyed a sensation of transcending the very limits of powerhouses within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!

Withdrawing his gaze from the Demon Child Gang Bone, the Great Accomplishment Yu Zhen Bodhisattva turned towards Lin Xuankong, a flicker of concern crossing his features. The initial unwavering confidence of the Spirit Platform Buddhism's Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva was replaced by a sudden apprehension regarding the impending conflict, which threatened to imperil the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm for countless eons, leaving him deeply worried.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuankong, now confronting the Demon Child Gang Bone of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, ceased his direct engagement. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, focusing his intent with fervor, drawing upon the near-infinite Immortal Yuan and the myriad Buddha Patterns dwelling within him.

"Perish!"

At this critical juncture, Demon Child Gang Bone let out a sudden, booming cry. His colossal Demonic Body traversed a thousand miles in an instant, hurtling towards Lin Xuankong's position.

His gargantuan fist, spanning over ten thousand feet in diameter—more than thirty thousand meters, a size nearly four times that of Mount Everest—descended upon the airborne Lin Xuankong. Lin Xuankong, with eyes already shut, faced this onslaught with extraordinary, lightning-surpassing speed!

The vertical pupils within the immense eyes of this foremost powerhouse of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, Demon Child Gang Bone, were locked onto Lin Xuankong with an expression of absolute resolve, chilling ruthlessness, and utter contempt!

Previously, Demon Child Gang Bone's earth-shattering blow had simultaneously wounded the Great Accomplishment Yu Zhen Bodhisattva alongside nine other top-tier Immortal Lord powerhouses. Now, he unleashed an even more devastating power; the sheer destructive force of this single punch was nearly incalculable, with estimations suggesting it could even disperse celestial tribulation clouds spanning hundreds of miles!

However,

Within Demon Child Gang Bone's field of vision,

As his colossal fist, dwarfing Mount Everest by a factor of nearly four, drew within mere dozens of feet of Lin Xuankong, poised to crush his very head, Lin Xuankong remained utterly still. He exhibited no reaction, appearing content to accept the full brunt of the assault without moving.

At this precise moment, Demon Child Gang Bone contemplated partially retracting his power.

Despite the burning hatred coursing through him towards Lin Xuankong, the life of the latter was paramount for the subsequent ascensions of numerous Demon Lord-level powerhouses from the Profound Yin Demon Sect within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. His survival was crucial for determining the outcome of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon war. While Demon Child Gang Bone desired to vent his fury upon Lin Xuankong, he recognized he could not afford to end his life while Lin Xuankong still held such critical importance!

Yet, in the very next instant,

The fleeting moment Demon Child Gang Bone's fist made contact with Lin Xuankong,

Demon Child Gang Bone was suddenly met with a sensation of void before his fist. His strike, imbued with immense power, inexplicably hit empty air. Simultaneously, Lin Xuankong's form flickered, vanishing from sight.

The massive vertical pupils within Demon Child Gang Bone’s eyes snapped shut in shock. A conclusion formed, one that defied his own comprehension—in that infinitesimal fraction of a second, Lin Xuankong had evaded his punch with a speed that far surpassed his own. This evasive maneuver had outstripped the speed of sound, outpaced lightning itself, and even exceeded the sensory perception speed of his hundred thousand Demonic Bodies!

This is inconceivable!

His Supreme Demonic Body, forged from the refined essence of one hundred thousand Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact level Demon Generals, was vastly superior to the Demonic Body of any Demon Lord-level powerhouse. Furthermore, his punch carried the potent force of the Celestial Demon and the insidious Curse of Time. Such an attack should be utterly un-evadable by any Cultivator from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!

Just as this thought struck him,

Lin Xuankong's voice resonated from a point thirty miles behind Demon Child Gang Bone.

"First move!"

Demon Child Gang Bone's pupils contracted once more. His incredibly agile, yet colossal body, towering over two hundred thousand feet, twisted around to face the rear. He beheld Lin Xuankong, who stood ten thousand feet tall, serenely floating thirty miles behind him. Even now, Lin Xuankong's eyes remained slightly closed, as if the unfolding battle with Demon Child Gang Bone directly before him was too trivial to warrant opening them.

This... this astonishing speed! How did Lin Xuankong achieve such a feat?

Demon Child Gang Bone's visage, which had previously displayed unyielding resolve, cold ferocity, and a touch of scorn, was suddenly contorted with shock.

Little did he know, while the Supreme Demon Body is indeed powerful, it pales in comparison to the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. This is especially true when Lin Xuankong, endowed with myriad talents and countless hidden aces, is the one executing it! At this very moment, Lin Xuankong hadn't even resorted to any High-Grade Immortal Artifact to augment his speed, yet he had already attained a swiftness that left the hundred thousand Demon Bodies far behind, ferocious and unmatched, all without unleashing that Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact...

Gazing at the ever-composed Lin Xuankong, Demon Child Gang Bone's expression spasmed multiple times. He then let out another roar, pushing the innumerable Demon Artifacts concealed within him to their absolute limit, once more erupting with a velocity marginally swifter than before as he hurtled towards Lin Xuankong!

However, mere a thousandth of a second later,

Having once again missed his target with a punch, a look of sheer frustration etched on his face, Demon Child Gang Bone spun around. To his utter dismay, he once again beheld Lin Xuankong flickering into existence thirty miles behind his retreating form!
