Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chapter 1321 - 571: The Buddhist Sect Suddenly Becomes Popular

Facing the incomparably awe‑inspiring Five-Clawed Golden Dragon,facing what might be an incarnation of a wisp of the Power of World Origin,

even Lin Xuankong, who possessed all sorts of wondrous Talents, did not dare harbor the slightest carelessness.

At this moment, facing the terrifying pressure sweeping over like a sky‑filling tide, a certain impulse even rose from the depths of Lin Xuankong’s heart—he was about to activate all the numerous Perfection-Level Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts stored in the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch!

Only, thinking of the benefits that might come from withstanding this Celestial Tribulation Creature head‑on,

Lin Xuankong forcibly suppressed that trace of panic in his heart, and also suppressed that sliver of impulsiveness.

After he fully activated all the Immortal Techniques that enhanced his Immortal Body and Divine Soul Strength, Lin Xuankong raised his head to look at that colossal, matchless Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that had already closed to within ten thousand zhang, his mouth continuously chanting complex Buddhist mantras.

In the next instant,

Lin Xuankong suddenly soared into the air, heading straight to meet that gigantic Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that was diving down!

The might of that Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, which caused even Strongest Immortal Lord-level Powerhouses to panic endlessly, actually vanished completely from his heart along with Lin Xuankong’s charge. At this moment, there was only one thought left in Lin Xuankong’s mind—to defeat this awe‑inspiring Five-Clawed Golden Dragon before him!

Several thousand li away,

atop the Central Peak,

those many Strongest Immortal Lords who were watching this scene from afar all widened their eyes when they saw this.

"Immortal Lin is... he actually intends to use the Power of his Immortal Body alone to clash head‑on with this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? That might be a living being manifested from the very foundation of this Golden Dragon World’s World Origin! He actually wants to rely on the Power of his Immortal Body to clash head‑on instead of remotely activating various Immortal Techniques?"

A Strongest Demon Lord could not hide the shock in his heart and shouted out in a low voice.

That Strongest Demon Lord Yu Feng of the Fire Phoenix Race furrowed her brows tightly. "The many Strongest Immortal Lords of the Human Race are all renowned for their myriad wondrous Immortal Techniques, thereby able to stand proudly within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. Over these more than ten thousand years, Immortal Lin has even collected all kinds of wondrous Immortal Techniques from various Immortal Sects, so why at this very moment would he choose such a head‑on fighting method to contend against such a terrifying, such an irresistible Celestial Tribulation Creature?"

"Indeed! Why clash head‑on? The Immortal Bodies of the Human Race are inherently inferior to those of many of our Demon Race peers!"

"Most crucially, Immortal Lin possesses so many Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, yet he is not activating a single one!

Once those Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts of his are all activated, no need for too many—just a dozen or so Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts would be enough to increase his strength dozens of times over!

Tsk tsk! Immortal Lin going head‑to‑head like this this time, I’m afraid he will suffer a loss!"

"Exactly, this is Immortal Lin’s final Celestial Tribulation; such a crucial battle even determines whether Immortal Lin can safely ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm. Why at such a time would he choose the combat method least advantageous to himself! This is no ordinary final Celestial Tribulation, but a Celestial Tribulation Creature that is hundreds of times, even several hundred times, more dangerous than the Three Great Killing Tribulations!

At a time like this, the primary goal should be to survive within the Celestial Tribulation; he shouldn’t be worrying about the possibility that using Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Techniques might reduce the tempering effect of the tribulation!"

The many Strongest Immortal Lord-level Powerhouses of the Human Race, Demon Race, and Buddhist Sect, resisting the terrifying pressure transmitted from that Five-Clawed Golden Dragon across several thousand li, all frowned deeply as they watched Lin Xuankong, who was charging straight toward that boundless Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Of course they knew that if one used only the Immortal Body to contend against the final Celestial Tribulation, one could obtain the maximum tempering from the tribulation, bringing about a stronger Metamorphosis in the process of Crossing the Tribulation, bringing about greater benefits!

But the present Celestial Tribulation was clearly far too terrifying—so terrifying that the many Strongest Immortal Lord-level Powerhouses present, even with Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts in hand, could not activate them, and could not even give rise to the slightest thought of resistance!

At this moment,

the faith of the many Strongest Immortal Lord-level Powerhouses watching the battle, in Lin Xuankong’s ability to smoothly pass through his own final Celestial Tribulation, was completely shaken!

Even though back then, when Lin Xuankong killed the Demon Child Gang Bone, the power he displayed by activating the Ultimate Realm Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique was incomparably formidable, far surpassing the imagination of any Strongest Immortal Lord,

in their eyes, compared to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon manifested by this terrifying Celestial Tribulation before them, it was still not enough—far from enough!

Only, how could they possibly know,

that Lin Xuankong’s greatest reliance was fundamentally not that Ultimate Realm Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique and those various wondrous Immortal Techniques that empowered his Immortal Body.

Lin Xuankong dared to confront head‑on this Celestial Tribulation Creature that might be the manifestation of World Origin; his greatest trump card was not the Ultimate Realm Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique that everyone believed in, nor the Path of Array Formation that made everyone envious and praise him as heaven‑defying, nor the Path of Artifact Refining that everyone lauded as unprecedented since ancient times. Lin Xuankong’s greatest trump card was the solid Immortal Body foundation he had forged through more than ten thousand years of arduous cultivation, and the powerful confidence brought by the myriad wondrous Talents of his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate after more than ten thousand years of time!

At this moment,

Lin Xuankong, who was charging toward the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, was, while activating various Immortal Techniques and the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, also activating the [Cunning and Deceitful] Talent and the [Growing Stronger with Age] Talent within his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate!

Eighth Talent of the Life Chart: [Cunning and Deceitful], a Rule Talent. After activation, one can, in an instant, consume a certain amount of Lifespan, causing the opponent’s attack might to lose its target and slide past at one’s side, reducing the opponent’s attack power by ninety‑five percent, lasting for ninety‑five breaths. Current age ten thousand and eight hundred years; each activation of the Rule Talent [Cunning and Deceitful] consumes one thousand years of Lifespan.
