Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 283 - 141: With a Single Breath, He Can Annihilate a Hundred from the Ninth Layer, What Layer Is He Exactly?

At this moment, Lin Xuankong stood approximately one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty paces away. This was the very spot where the phantasmal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon roamed, allowing him to see every detail of its entire body with perfect clarity!

Although it was merely a phantasm, not a true Ancient Celestial Demon, just gazing upon the vision of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon—even though its eyes weren’t looking at him—caused an irrepressible tension to surge in Lin Xuankong’s heart. This suppression, stemming from a higher order of existence, was even more terrifying than the imposing Thunder God depicted in the Yin Talisman Sect’s Heaven-Interpreting Stone!

The Thunder God of old had towered between heaven and earth, annihilating countless Great Demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Emperors with a wave of his hand. But even if the Thunder God was immensely tall, he was still confined between the continent and the sky. This Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, however, roamed through the vastness of the cosmos and primordial chaos, surrounded by the annihilation and rebirth of countless continents, great stars, and suns!

The disparity between the Thunder God and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was like that between a single drop of water and the vast ocean!

Of course, it wasn’t that Lin Xuankong had grown arrogant and now looked down on the Thunder God.

Although Lin Xuankong had now reached the Sixth Layer and possessed many powerful abilities, the difference between him and the Thunder God was still as vast as that between a drop of water and the ocean.

As for the gap between Lin Xuankong and the phantasmal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon before him... it was simply indescribable!

Now, seeing the enormous phantasm of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon sweep past him, even knowing it was an illusion, Lin Xuankong found he couldn’t bear to look at it directly for long.

Only when the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had moved to another position did Lin Xuankong finally let out a heavy breath and continue forward.

However, the terrifying form of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon he had just witnessed was like a nightmare, deeply seared into Lin Xuankong’s mind.

The Golden Dragon’s eyes, thousands of times larger than planets; its scales, each larger than the Ancient Wilderness Continent; the three brilliant golden scales on its forehead, brighter than suns; and its terrifying dragon horns that seemed to pierce space itself—all these features made Lin Xuankong’s heart pound and his mouth go dry.

Suppressing the palpitations in his heart, Lin Xuankong continued onward.

The Demon Qi of this Celestial Demon Bone was quite peculiar. Even though Lin Xuankong’s Eight Gates Celestial Eye could penetrate all obstacles, it was strangely unable to see through the phantasms formed by the Demon Qi, preventing him from spotting the Celestial Demon Bone in advance.

Therefore, even after advancing approximately one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty paces, Lin Xuankong still couldn’t be sure of the exact size of the Celestial Demon Bone at the very center of the Demon Qi Group ahead.

As Lin Xuankong pondered these things, he advanced several dozen more paces.

At this point, he was only a hundred paces from the very center of the Demon Qi Group.

The Demon Qi here was terrifyingly dense. While withstanding the immense pressure, Lin Xuankong glanced at his Life Plate and saw his Condensed True Qi depleting at a rate of several hundred points per breath!

At this rate of True Qi annihilation, any other Sixth-Layer Cultivator wouldn’t survive even half a breath before their body and soul were extinguished!

Even an Eighth-Layer Cultivator could only last for half a breath at most. Presumably, only a Late-Stage Ninth-Layer Cultivator could endure for about one breath!

At a distance of two hundred paces, the True Qi annihilation rate was already this severe.

As this thought occurred to him, Lin Xuankong, who was still forging ahead, felt a flicker of alarm and doubt in his eyes.

Carefully sensing his True Qi consumption, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but swallow hard.

「Outside the Demon Qi Group.」

Third Princess Xiao Ying’er was still fraught with anxiety.

But amidst her anxiety, a hint of surprise gradually surfaced in her eyes, "Mr. Mu... Mr. Mu, how many paces has he advanced in there? It feels like he’s gone much farther than Granny Guan did!"

Kneeling on one knee, Guan Nanfeng grasped Third Princess Xiao Ying’er’s arm. She turned to look, and her heart jolted as an astonished expression appeared on her face.

"The Third Princess is right. This Mu Shiba has indeed gone farther than I did. This distance... it’s probably more than two hundred and ten paces! This... Third Princess, are you certain he’s a Sixth-Layer Cultivator? That’s absolutely impossible! Even if a hundred Sixth-Layer Cultivators pooled their efforts to advance, they couldn’t possibly reach this distance!"
