Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 762 - 313: Demon General Fenghuo Linjiu, Ultimate Defense_2
The usually gentle White-forehead Qilin Bai E now wore an expression of extreme urgency and interjected, "Mr. Mu, there’s no time! Once the Grand Array is broken, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to! The incredible Escape Speed of this Third-Grade Immortal Artifact is your only chance!"
Lin Xuankong, who could deploy the massive Thousand Cranes Array again at any moment, shook his head slightly. "This Jiang Jiaolong does have a few tricks up his sleeve, but we still have a sliver of a chance!"
"A few tricks?!" The short-tempered Cyan-forehead Qilin rolled its eyes. "He swallowed even the Ninth-Grade Array Spirit Spirit Crane in one bite, and you still say he ’has a few tricks’...? There’s no time left! Hurry up and escape!"
The anxious Cyan-forehead Qilin was so frantic it almost snatched the Third-Grade Immortal Artifact from Lin Xuankong’s waist, intending to activate it and drag him away to safety!
White-forehead Qilin Bai E then spoke urgently, "It’s far more than just ’a few tricks’! Mr. Mu, do you realize that the Grand Elder Jiang Jiaolong of the Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect before you is not the original Jiang Jiaolong at all? The ten-thousand-zhang Demon Body, the Soul-devouring Demon Fire, the Black Soul Demon Armor—these are clearly abilities that only a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General from the Profound Yin Demon Sect should possess! The Jiang Jiaolong before us has evidently been possessed by a Demon General from the Profound Yin Demon Sect; he has become a Demon Artifact Level Demon General! According to the numerous records in the Luo Water Immortal Sect’s archives, every Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General is a terrifying existence formed from the divided body of a Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Their power far surpasses that of ordinary Ninth-Grade Demon Generals from the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Even a Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal from the Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth, if without an Immortal Artifact, would be no match for them!"
This monster before me... is no longer Jiang Jiaolong? He’s a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General!
Upon hearing White-forehead Qilin Bai E’s words, Lin Xuankong immediately recalled certain records from the treasured archives of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.
According to the accounts left by Ancestor Li, the founder of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect: Tens of thousands of years ago, Ancestor Li participated in an Immortal Demon War where he personally witnessed the terrifying might of a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General. At that time, three Late-Stage Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals had joined forces, unleashing their Immortal Techniques, yet they were still unable to breach the Black Soul Demon Armor of that Ninth-Grade Demon General. Under the assault of that Ninth-Grade Demon General’s Soul-devouring Demon Fire, more than ten High-Grade Earth Immortals were annihilated; their Immortal Bodies were destroyed, and the Divine Souls within their Earth Immortal Golden Cores were extinguished. The three Late-Stage Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals who besieged that Demon General also suffered attacks from the Soul-devouring Demon Fire. As a result, their Divine Souls were damaged, and their strength was greatly diminished. If the Ancestor of the Luo Water Immortal Sect hadn’t intervened at that time and repelled it, that single Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General might have slain all three Late-Stage Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals!
Although Ancestor Li, founder of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, was a considerable distance from the battle and only dared to observe from afar, recording merely a few sentences, Lin Xuankong could still sense the profound fear Ancestor Li held for that Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General, even from those terse descriptions.
The Black Soul Demon Armor, virtually impervious to attack... The Soul-devouring Demon Fire, capable of consuming Divine Souls... For Ancestor Li, founder of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General was an entity of pure nightmare!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong looked up at Grand Elder Jiang Jiaolong of the Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect. As he gazed upon the eerie Black Demon Armor covering Jiang Jiaolong’s ten-thousand-zhang Demon Body and the fearsome pillar of black flame the latter spewed, a hint of excitement couldn’t help but flicker in Lin Xuankong’s eyes.
Ever since elevating his understanding of the Path of Array to the Eighth Layer and successfully refining a vast number of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts complete with Array Patterns and Runes, he hadn’t encountered any truly evenly matched opponents. For instance, White-forehead Qilin Bai E, Cyan-forehead Qilin, and the Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were all somewhat too weak. Immortal Lord Luoshui, Yaan Mingyu, on the other hand, was far too strong!
This Demon Artifact Level Demon General, supposedly capable of easily contending with a Late-Stage Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal... he seems like a worthy opponent! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Just as this thought crossed his mind, White-forehead Qilin Bai E anxiously squeezed up beside Lin Xuankong. Gazing at the dangerously unstable light barrier of the Thousand Cranes Array, it looked as if it wanted to send Lin Xuankong flying with a headbutt.
"Mr. Mu, what are you hesitating for? Quickly activate the Third-Grade Immortal Artifact and get out of here! Every Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General is incredibly ferocious. Each one is a part of a Demon Lord from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, possessing a fraction of that Demon Lord’s power. They are simply not beings we can contend with! Currently, in the entire Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, only our master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, can handle him! You must leave this place immediately and inform our master! Otherwise, if we all perish here, who knows how many more atrocities this Demon General will commit, or how many more Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region he will slaughter!"
Hearing this, a flicker of understanding crossed Lin Xuankong’s eyes. "Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals are all part of a Demon Lord from the Profound Yin Demon Sect... Does this mean the Demon General before us is also very old?"
White-forehead Qilin Bai E was momentarily stunned.
It was utterly bewildered, completely failing to grasp why Lin Xuankong would ask such a question at this critical juncture. The terrifying Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General before them was on the verge of shattering the defensive light barrier of the Eighth Layer Thousand Cranes Array! At a time like this, instead of desperately trying to escape or formulate a plan, he was asking about the Demon General’s age? What in the world for? Did it have any significance whatsoever?
White-forehead Qilin Bai E stared, its face a mask of utter bewilderment.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jiaolong, who was relentlessly attacking the defensive light barrier of the Thousand Cranes Array, cackled madly as he controlled the pillar of black flame, saying,
