Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

And the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword transformed into an even faster beam of light, slashing at the countless Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs raining down from the sky!

SIZZLE! SIZZLE! SIZZLE! SIZZLE!

In an instant, the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword crossed thousands of feet, piercing one Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderball after another. Its gigantic Sword Body, once it pierced a Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderball several hundred feet in diameter, would immediately erupt with terrifying might, annihilating the pierced Thunderball!

What was most terrifying was the speed of the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword; in the Central Province Divine Dynasty Immortal Realm, the Sect Master of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect of the Central Divine Dynasty relied on the extremely, extremely fast Third-Grade Immortal Artifact in his possession. It was this artifact that allowed him to journey from the North Sea in the morning to Cangwu by evening, granting him a flight speed that even High-Grade Earth Immortals found difficult to achieve!

Empowered by such speed, the rate at which this Immortal Artifact annihilated the Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs was hundreds of times faster—no, far more than that—compared to the four First-Grade Immortal Artifacts during Feng Lingling’s Tribulation!

In the blink of an eye, of the sixty to seventy thousand Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs that blotted out the sky, a staggering twenty to thirty thousand were directly annihilated!

When a mere one-thirtieth of a breath had passed, all sixty to seventy thousand Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs, launched by the thirty-six Celestial Tribulation Creatures each ten thousand feet tall, were utterly shattered by this Cyan Nether Immortal Sword!

This terrifying attack speed! Never mind the four First-Grade Immortal Swords wielded by Feng Lingling; even the three Second-Grade Immortal Artifacts Lin Xuankong himself had previously wielded could not achieve such speed and power!

At this moment, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, "This... How could this be! Tributor Mu... Tributor Mu is actually wielding a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact? Ancestors of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect above! Our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect... we actually possess a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact! It seems only one such artifact exists in the entire Central Divine Dynasty! I originally thought Tributor Mu’s Artifact Refining Technique far surpassed that of every Artifact Refining Master in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region... I never imagined, truly never imagined, that he would possess a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact while still in the Transcendence Realm! A Third-Grade Immortal Artifact that only the Sect Master of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect of the Central Divine Dynasty was known to possess! If Tributor Mu personally refined this Immortal Artifact, then he’s not just the foremost Artifact Refining Master in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region; he could be hailed as the number one Artifact Refining Master among all the countless Artifact Refiners in the entire Central Divine Dynasty!"

The moment Lin Xuankong activated the Third-Grade Immortal Artifact, the hope that had dimmed once more in the heart of this Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect flared up again! His face was flushed with excitement and yearning, his eyes gleaming with anticipation...

He knew perfectly well how crucial an Artifact Refining Master capable of refining Immortal Artifacts was to an Immortal Sect! An Artifact Refining Master capable of refining First-Grade and Second-Grade Immortal Artifacts could effortlessly elevate the strength of any Immortal Sect, giving it the chance to become a Great Immortal Sect within the Central Divine Dynasty. Now, seeing Lin Xuankong possess a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact, he even felt that if Lin Xuankong successfully overcame his Tribulation today, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect would have a tremendous opportunity to grow. It could become the fourth Great Immortal Sect, ranking just behind the three great ones of the Central Divine Dynasty, and a top-tier existence among the Great Immortal Sects!

Thinking of all this, how could this Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect not be thrilled, not be filled with eager anticipation!

"Quiet down, Lee! Watch Tributor Mu carefully; the Celestial Tribulation isn’t over yet!"

One of the two Crane Ancestors, the Great Crane Ancestor, spread its wings and glared at Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. It was clearly annoyed by this fellow’s incessant chatter, which was disturbing their focus on the momentous Celestial Tribulation battle.

Grand Elder Sui He also couldn’t help but chime in, "Lee, be quiet! Everyone is focused on Tributor Mu. Why are you trying to draw attention to yourself over there?"

Even the Grand Elders Qing He and Cang He shot glares at Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, clearly displeased that he was disturbing everyone.

Within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, only the two Crane Ancestors and the three Grand Elders dared to reprimand the esteemed Sect Leader Li in such a manner...

Sect Leader Li, who was equally concerned about Lin Xuankong, didn’t feel any dissatisfaction from their reprimands. There was nothing to be done about it. Ever since ’Tributor Mu’ arrived at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and became its foremost Tributor, Sect Leader Li had wisely accepted his drop in standing within the sect from sixth to seventh! Yes, even the three Grand Elders and the two Crane Ancestors had to curry favor and seek closeness with Lin Xuankong; what could he do?

However, the many Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, who had previously lost hope, now visibly relaxed somewhat. Lin Xuankong’s unveiling of the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword had certainly astonished them, but it also brought them immense joy and restored a measure of their confidence!

High in the sky, beneath the tribulation clouds, the thirty-six Celestial Tribulation Creatures, each ten thousand feet tall, were still relentlessly attacking. A continuous barrage of Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs kept streaking wildly downwards! Although Lin Xuankong’s Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword had annihilated seventy to eighty thousand of their Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs, these creatures, supported by the Celestial Tribulation itself, possessed truly inexhaustible energy. They could maintain this level of attack until the end of time!

Moreover, while this barrage no longer carried the overwhelming might of seventy to eighty thousand Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunderballs striking simultaneously as before, it remained incredibly ferocious—more terrifying than any ordinary Celestial Tribulation. If any other Transcendence Realm Cultivator were to face these attacks now, they would still have absolutely no hope of surviving!
