Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 756 - 312: The Might of the Eight-Layered Array’s Ninth Layer, Ten Thousand Zhang Demon Head Jiang Jiaolong
At this moment, it wasn’t just the over one hundred rebellious immortals from the Immortal Realm who wore tense expressions. Within the Eight-Layered Thousand Cranes Array, the Five Elements Wanderer, the three Grand Elders Sui He, Qing He, and Cang He, and Chi Liuxia all fixed their eyes on the location of the dense mushroom cloud. They too knew very well that the Cyan-forehead Qilin, at the Seventh Grade Demon King Realm, had already been defeated. If Lin Xuankong’s Thousand Cranes Array lost the confrontation against Jiang Huanglong, the Sect Leader of the Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect, there was absolutely no chance any of them would survive.
However, the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin Bai E, these two Spiritual Beasts, did not focus their gazes on the mushroom cloud. These Spiritual Beasts from the Luo Water Immortal Sect had puzzled expressions in their large eyes, all staring at Lin Xuankong. As the guardian Spiritual Beasts of Immortal Lord Luoshui, they hailed from Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth. This made them naturally different from the Earth Immortals of Central Divine Dynasty Western Region. Having witnessed many great events, they were long accustomed to such ’world-destroying’ confrontations.
Therefore, their puzzlement was not about the intensity of the battle at hand, but rather that the instigator of such a terrifying attack was the Array Spirit of an Eighth Layer Sect Protection Array.
The somewhat impatient Cyan-forehead Qilin kept shaking its huge head, repeatedly saying, "No, no, such terrifying might absolutely cannot be unleashed by the Array Spirit of an Eighth Layer Sect Protection Array! I have seen many medium-sized Immortal Sects’ Eight-Layered Sect Protection Arrays, but even if those Array Spirits exhausted themselves to death, it would be impossible to possess such a huge Immortal Body, nor could they unleash an attack of this magnitude! This is too wrong, entirely too wrong! Such an attack should have no problem countering Jiang Huanglong, the Sect Leader of the Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect, who wields the Demon Artifact Nine Resentments Rakshasa Bone! But that Jiang Huanglong has the fully awakened Nine Resentments Rakshasa Bone; only a Ninth Layer Sect Protection Array could easily suppress him! Could it be that I sensed wrong? Is this Sect Protection Array before me the Ninth Layer Thousand Cranes Array?"
The White-forehead Qilin Bai E shook its head and kicked the Cyan-forehead Qilin with its hoof. "Qing, you’ve followed our master for thousands of years of cultivation. What have you been learning all this time? Even if you can’t set up an Eighth Layer or Ninth Layer Sect Protection Array, can’t you tell how many layers this Array before you has? This is definitely the Eight-Layered Thousand Cranes Array!
"Furthermore, Mr. Mu has only been studying the Path of Array Formation with our master for a short time. Do you truly believe anyone in this world can reach the level of a Ninth Layer Sect Protection Array in just twelve short years?
"Even our master, hailed as the foremost genius in the Path of Array Formation in the Central Province Immortal Realm, never achieved such stunning speed when he was studying it!"
The Cyan-forehead Qilin was momentarily stunned. "That’s true! But can the Eight-Layered Thousand Cranes Array unleash such an attack? Sister Bai, are you sure?"
The White-forehead Qilin Bai E’s expression froze. It was evident that even this guardian Spiritual Beast of Immortal Lord Luoshui was no longer certain. Frowning, it floated next to Lin Xuankong, scanning him up and down. "Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu, even if my master personally laid down an Eighth Layer Thousand Cranes Array, it would be utterly impossible to launch such an attack. Your Array is quite strange!"
Lin Xuankong, however, just smiled silently.
Under normal circumstances, the Array Spirit Spirit Crane of an Eighth Layer Thousand Cranes Array certainly couldn’t unleash such a fearsome attack. However, my third Talent, [Bullying the Old and Weak], can significantly enhance the power of Immortal Techniques, Arrays, and other offensive methods. This is especially true considering Jiang Huanglong, the Sect Leader of the Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect, is over ten thousand years old—clearly an old monster. So, it’s not surprising that the Array Spirit Spirit Crane of the Eighth Layer Thousand Cranes Array would launch a slightly more ferocious attack!
Moreover, this was just using the [Bullying the Old and Weak] Talent alone; Jiang Huanglong’s age hadn’t even reached tens of thousands of years. If I activated the Celestial Demon Bone’s [Great Enhancement Technique] along with [Bullying the Old and Weak], that would be a multiplier of twenty-eight by forty-eight... Under such circumstances, how ferocious would the Array Spirit Spirit Crane’s attack be? At the very least, it would reach the level of a full-force strike from a Mid-Stage Ninth Grade Earth Immortal!
Seeing Lin Xuankong smiling without speaking, the White-forehead Qilin Bai E felt a bit frustrated and was about to ask further. Suddenly, from the continually rolling and expanding mushroom cloud, the sound of flapping wings echoed. The White-forehead Qilin Bai E’s eyes lit up, and it quickly turned its head toward the sound.
At this moment, under everyone’s intense gaze, the dense smoke of the mushroom cloud swiftly dispersed. It revealed the Array Spirit Spirit Crane of the Eighth Layer Thousand Cranes Array and, confronting it, Jiang Huanglong, Sect Leader of the Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
This demon and spirit evidently had not perished or collapsed directly from the terrifying clash of forces. They were far stronger than the over one hundred Earth Immortals who had been blasted into the ground or even killed by the shockwaves’ aftermath.
However, there was a clear difference between the demon and the spirit. The Array Spirit Spirit Crane summoned by Lin Xuankong’s Eighth Layer Thousand Cranes Array, boasting a wingspan of eighteen thousand units, remained majestic. It radiated immense Immortal Yuan Fluctuation from its body and was lightly fanning its enormous wings, effortlessly dispersing the surrounding dense smoke.
