Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chapter 1319 - 570: Candle Dragon Celestial Immortal Tribulation

The greater the might of the Celestial Tribulation, the more perilous it is, and the better the foundation it can forge!The Celestial Tribulation he had encountered now seemed dozens of times stronger even than the Six Harmonies Celestial Tribulation,

so once he successfully crossed it, the distance he could directly step across within the Celestial Immortal Realm would definitely far surpass the distance gained after surviving tribulations such as the Azure Sky Killing Tribulation, the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, and the like!

With this thought, a hint of anticipation surfaced in Lin Xuankong’s eyes, and he roused his incomparably vast Immortal Yuan.

Unlike those Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses around him who were currently Crossing the Tribulation,

while the surrounding Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses undergoing tribulation were all urging their Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts to resist the terrifying Celestial Tribulation strikes falling from the heavens, Lin Xuankong had absolutely no intention of using a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact, even though the number of Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts he possessed at this moment was enough to make everyone present drop their jaws!

Because Lin Xuankong knew that in facing this final tribulation that tested and tempered Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses, the more Immortal Artifacts and other Treasure that bolstered one’s strength were used, the more the final tribulation’s tempering of his Immortal Body and Divine Soul would be diminished!

Only by relying purely on his own strength, his own Spiritual Will, his own Immortal Body to confront this final tribulation could he reap the greatest benefits and growth from the tribulation’s test and tempering!

Of course, everyone present, every single Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse, and even every High-Grade Earth Immortal of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm understood this very well; they too knew that if they used only their Immortal Body and Immortal Techniques to resist the final tribulation, the degree of tempering upon their Immortal Body and Divine Soul would be incomparably high!

But so what? In the tens of millions of years of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, how many Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses, when facing tribulation, would not seek Divine Weapons and Divine Marvelous Elixirs to increase their odds of success? Was it that they did not wish to grit their teeth and rely purely on their Immortal Body and Immortal Techniques?

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to; they simply could not!

Not to mention a final tribulation as terrifying as the one Lin Xuankong now faced—even the three great killing tribulations, the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, the Azure Sky Killing Tribulation, and the Six Harmonies Celestial Tribulation, had already made countless Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses throughout tens of millions of years in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm tremble in terror. Those Strongest Immortal Lords who had once encountered the three great killing tribulations, even after preparing one or two Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, still failed to cross them, let alone speaking of relying solely on flesh and Immortal Body to hard-tank them. Wouldn’t that be pure courting of death?

Even putting aside the three great killing tribulations—the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, the Azure Sky Killing Tribulation, and the Six Harmonies Celestial Tribulation—just an ordinary final tribulation was still incomparably terrifying. According to the records of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm over tens of millions of years, there had never been a single Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse who could endure it purely with Immortal Body and Immortal Techniques; the only difference between them lay in how much Treasure they borrowed strength from...

Yet at this very moment, Lin Xuankong had already decided that he would not use a single Immortal Artifact, nor any auxiliary Spirit Elixir, and would not employ the Luo Water Array either, but would instead face the final tribulation head-on with only his Immortal Body and Immortal Techniques!

If he succeeded, then Lin Xuankong would once more create a miracle in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm that had never been seen since ancient times!

As time little by little flowed past,

that bizarre and mighty tribulation cloud had already fully taken shape, actually transforming into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon whose mere presence was terrifying to the extreme, thirty-six hundred thousand zhang in length, body covered in golden scales, feet stepping upon Liuyun!

What caused Lin Xuankong’s gaze to flicker was that this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon not only radiated a might a hundred times greater than the creatures of the Six Harmonies Celestial Tribulation, but was also extremely similar to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon he had seen in the illusion when he had taken the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone, and faintly carried an aura similar to that Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone!

When this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, which sprawled between heaven and earth, twisted and coiled and its enormous eyes locked onto Lin Xuankong’s body, Lin Xuankong could even feel the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone that had completely fused within him trembling in waves. Within that trembling was a hint of joy, like a child who had lost its way from home and, in the midst of its crying, suddenly saw its mother again. That joy, seeping into the very marrow, made even Lin Xuankong involuntarily give rise to a faint sense of intimacy toward the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in the sky!

According to legend, the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone should have originated from the corpse of that fallen Five-Clawed Golden Dragon—the incomparably formidable Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Celestial Demon from which the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm itself had derived!

But why had the tribulation cloud before his eyes actually formed the phantom of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Celestial Demon? Even though its might was far inferior to the Five-Turn Golden Dragon Illusion he had seen before—so weak it was not even a billionth of that illusion—it still possessed a trace of the divine charm of that Fifth-Transformation Golden Dragon!

Could it be that this Celestial Tribulation Creature before him was somehow related to the World Origin of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?

That shouldn’t be possible, right? Even if my Lin Xuankong’s Talent is a little better, it shouldn’t be enough to alarm the World Origin of the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, causing the World Origin of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm to manifest a strand of Power specifically to deal with me, to test me!

No matter how strong I, Lin Xuankong, may be, right now I’m only a Strongest Immortal Lord, still far from comparable to an Initial Tier Celestial Immortal! Yet in Crossing a single final tribulation, instead of drawing a normal tribulation, I’ve actually drawn the trial of the World Origin?

This is going too far! Lin Xuankong’s heart pounded faster, his brows knit, and a hint of astonishment surfaced in his eyes.

And not only Lin Xuankong,

when this boundlessly mighty Five-Clawed Golden Dragon phantom fully formed,

aside from those Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses who were currently Crossing the Tribulation and thus could not sense what was happening here because of the tribulation’s interference, every Strongest Immortal Lord on the Central Peak stared wide-eyed at that incomparably imposing Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, a surge of utterly irresistible, absolutely worship-compelling urge to kneel and kowtow rising in their hearts!
