Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 981 - 400: Is This a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact? (Part 2)

In the high heavens,

when the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo heard Lin Xuankong speak like this, his originally rapidly spinning eyes immediately ceased their movement, reverting from pure black to a ghastly white.

Since the opponent might possess an immortal secret treasure that protects the divine soul, no matter how he employs spiritual attack secret techniques, it would have no effect and would merely deplete his spirit in vain!

Yet, the nonchalant words of Lin Xuankong were indeed unbearable for this Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord, famous for hundreds of thousands of years, making him feel overwhelmingly humiliated and furious.

Even the strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses of the Immortal Realm human race, during face-to-face battles with him, dared not treat him with such disregard! After all, among the strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm human race, there are few who dare claim to have cultivated longer or possess greater strength than him; yet now, a mere third-grade Earth Immortal of the Human Race dares to treat him with such disrespect!

"Indeed, no wonder you are the one my Saint Heir personally named to capture... Throughout my hundreds of thousands of years of dominance in the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm, I, Purlo, have never been humiliated like this!

Mu Shiba, today I must see what other tricks you have!"

The ice-cold intent gleamed in the grey-white pupils of the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo,

in the next instant,

the thirty-six palms surrounding his enormous demon body suddenly spread open,

and immediately, the thirty-six demon artifacts controlled by those palms emitted a series of strange and shrill howls, and endless demonic qi spread out from the thirty-six demon artifacts, transforming mid-air into as many as thirty-six towering, grotesque black skulls, each skull astonishingly comparable in size to the enormous demon Buddha’s head from before!

Not only that,

those thirty-six skulls simultaneously opened their enormous black mouths, spewing black-as-ink yet terrifyingly hot flames onto the light membrane of the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array that protected the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

At the location where the terrifying black flames struck the light membrane, it immediately concaved, clearly enduring an unimaginably fearful impact force, and coupled with the extremely terrifying temperature of the black flames, within less than a breath, thousands of profound array patterns on the outermost layer of the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array’s light membrane disintegrated directly!

As the Array Master manipulating the outermost layer of the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array, the Cyan-forehead Qilin’s body trembled sharply, its brows furrowed deeply.

Not daring to delay for even a moment, it chanted incantations continuously, constantly mobilizing the thirty-six first-grade immortal artifact array hubs of the outermost Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array, striving to withstand the assaults from the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord’s thirty-six demon artifacts!

However, the attack of the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo was evidently more horrifying than even the unreasonably vast demon Buddha’s attack just moments earlier,

even with the Cyan-forehead Qilin’s full control, the array patterns on the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array light membrane continued to disperse and disintegrate, thinning ever further, and during the process, some array patterns even became demonized by the black flames, turning pure black, spreading continuously outwards!

"These are the Demon Tribulation Flames the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord seized from the Celestial Demon Tribulations across his thirty-six trials, known especially for attacking and demonizing opponents’ immortal artifacts! Reportedly, this Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo even managed, thousands of years ago, to pollute and demonize the artifacts of two besieging strongest Immortal Lord powerhouses using these terrifying flames!

Cyan-forehead, be exceedingly cautious in controlling the array formation. If array patterns get demonized, dissipate them immediately; otherwise, your outermost layer of the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array’s light membrane might not last long at all—possibly even be breached within a few hours if careless!"

Seeing the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo’s full-force attack, exhibiting such horrifying might of those black flames, the true disciple of Guangqing Immortal Sect, Guang Yu’er, tightened her face, constantly reminding.

Beside her, Guang Ling’Er, with eyes full of intense caution, stared silently at those black flames, reflecting deep in thought. For among those who once besieged the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, one was none other than her master, Kunyuan Daoist!

At that time, Kunyuan Daoist and another strongest Immortal Lord of the Immortal Realm human race joined forces, and although they repelled the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, who had invaded the Immortal Realm during that battle of Immortals and Demons, their confrontation led to six of their artifacts being polluted and demonized by the opponent, nearly breaking them. Only after Kunyuan Daoist expended significant Immortal Yuan were they gradually able to purge the demonic qi contaminating those six artifacts, saving them from destruction!

However, despite the Immortal Realm human race claiming victory was due to the cooperative repelling by the strongest Immortal Lord Kunyuan Daoist and another formidable Immortal Lord, Guang Ling’Er, as a true disciple of Kunyuan Daoist, knew quite well that even with their combined efforts, they hardly gained any advantage. After all, although the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo wasn’t the strongest among demon lords, its terrifying demon flames—the techniques that polluted and demonized artifacts—were enough to give even the strongest Immortal Lords a headache!

Could this notorious Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, whose fearsome reputation spread throughout the Immortal Realm, be displaying such terrifying demon flames once more?

This Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, indeed initiated one of his strongest methods geared towards combating the strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses right at the start... So then, the Cyan-forehead Qilin’s more than forty layers of the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array, how long could they stand? Would they even have a chance of maintaining for over a hundred days?

This Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, it seems, is venting his anger, having been thwarted by the Profound Demon Eye! How vile!

With these thoughts racing, Guang Ling’Er could not help but feel heavy-hearted, casting an uncertainly hopeful gaze at Lin Xuankong.

Could Mr. Lin possess a counter for the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo’s terrifying Demon Tribulation Fire?

Yet, thinking this, Guang Ling’Er suddenly broke into a wry smile,

internally musing: Even my master, the strongest Immortal Lord Kunyuan Daoist, once had great trouble dealing with this Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, facing its bizarre demon flames, let alone Mr. Lin! Although he possesses astonishing artifact refining skills and precision mastery in array formations, those are primarily defensive in nature—attempting to tackle the demon tribulation flames of this Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord is likely beyond reach! This slight hope that stirred in my heart can only be considered a luxurious wish!

At this juncture,

Guang Ling’Er witnessed Lin Xuankong lightly tapping the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch at his waist,

and instantly, an extremely bright stream of light shot out from the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch, floating not far in front of Lin Xuankong!

Upon closely discerning the form of that streaming light, and sensing the Immortal Yuan fluctuations radiating from this newly appeared immortal artifact, the wide eyes of this Guangqing Immortal Sect’s true disciple, tinged with worry, widened further, and she hesitantly spoke, "This... such condensed, overwhelming Immortal Yuan fluctuations, these profound incised immortal artifact patterns! Illumined by its radiance, tens of thousands of patterns as if crafted by heavenly handiwork, can this be a fourth-grade immortal artifact?"

Upon speaking, Guang Ling’Er’s expression, akin to having witnessed the most unbelievable, impossible occurrence in the world.

Beside her, Guang Qing Immortal Sect’s true disciple Guang Yu’er couldn’t resist showing an exceedingly complex expression; her fair, delicate face displayed both astonishment and excitement, disbelief and a hint of fervor, "With Immortal Yuan swirling like auspicious clouds, patterns flowing like a celestial river, this, this, this... the appearance of this immortal artifact, its Immortal Yuan, and patterns are entirely consistent with records in my Guangqing Immortal Sect’s secret compendium of fourth-grade immortal artifacts!"

Speaking up to this point, she couldn’t help but moan, staring fixedly at the fourth-grade immortal artifact Lin Xuankong just activated,

"In the Immortal Realm, it has been hundreds of thousands of years since any fourth-grade immortal artifact has appeared, even with the last occurrence of such an artifact during the Middle Ages being attributed to the strongest Immortal Lord from eons past. It can be said that for millions of years, countless cultivators of the human race in the Immortal Realm have failed to refine any fourth-grade immortal artifacts!

But now... how could this be possible, how could this be possible, Mr. Lin, is this immortal artifact truly a fourth-grade immortal artifact?"
