CHAPTER 595: CHAPTER 274: LIN XUANKONG’S BOUNTIFUL HARVEST

At the moment when the faces of hundreds of Earth Immortals turned pale, the enormous hand of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s projected avatar had already grasped the Golden Core in its palm.

Immediately after, rays of seemingly peaceful Buddha’s Light burst forth from the palm, illuminating the Perfect Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core. Within a tenth of a breath, all the Immortal Yuan on the Golden Core was extinguished by the Buddha’s Light, and terrifying cracks appeared on it as well.

The Divine Soul of Great Elder Duan Qianchou from the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, which was attached to this Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core, was annihilated as the Buddha’s Light shone and the cracks appeared.

The next moment, the colossal hand returned to where the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Leader had been, then reached into the Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm Gate. Lin Xuankong’s Heart Spirit also followed the enormous hand into the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Leader’s Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm.

The moment he entered the Secret Realm, Lin Xuankong felt somewhat apprehensive. After all, a Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm often covered a vast area, and its master possessed the ability of instant movement within it. Even Earth Immortals would find it difficult to capture a Master of the Secret Realm there.

However, Lin Xuankong had evidently underestimated the capabilities of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s projected avatar. Although this projection was only at the Seventh-Grade Realm, its power was comparable to a true Eighth-Grade Earth Immortal.

The instant after entering the Secret Realm, Lin Xuankong sensed the ten-thousand-zhang hand of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s projected avatar resonating with Buddhist chants. It transformed into countless rays of Buddha’s Light, illuminating every corner of the Secret Realm.

Although this Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Leader was evidently an extremely large Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm, under the illumination of the innumerable rays of Buddha’s Light, everything within it began to dissolve.

Within just half a breath, all life forms, mountain peaks, rivers, and even clouds within this Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm disintegrated into absolute nothingness.

A sense of understanding filled Lin Xuankong; he instantly realized the name of the Buddhist Technique used by Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s projected avatar: the Great Dissolving Technique.

Although Lin Xuankong couldn’t learn or comprehend this Great Dissolving Technique because he was only controlling a projection, just hearing its name and witnessing its speed in dissolving a Little World was enough to imagine how terrifying this Buddhist Technique would be if used outside!

Even the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s proud Sect Protection Array, a legacy of tens of thousands of years, would likely be shattered instantly. All thirty-six Spirit Peaks of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect would also be dissolved into nothingness in a moment!

His own Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm, at its current size, could probably withstand an attack from this Great Dissolving Technique for three breaths at most...

Of course, if it grew stronger in the future, the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm would surely become too vast for this Great Dissolving Technique to completely destroy!

While Lin Xuankong was contemplating this, a figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm—it was the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Leader.

After everything within the Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm had dissolved, this Fire Spirit Immortal Sect Leader, the Master of the Secret Realm, also lost control over it.

Then, he too was dissolved... leaving behind only a solitary, cracked Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core and a Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone.

Thus, Lin Xuankong had completely dealt with all twenty-odd Earth Immortals of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, leaving none alive.

At this point, the projected avatar of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, which Lin Xuankong had summoned for the first time using the Buddha-Calling Jade Talisman, finally reached its time limit and dissipated between heaven and earth.

However, the twenty-eight Earth Immortal Golden Cores and twenty-eight Celestial Demon Bones, grasped by the colossal hand and now floating beside Lin Xuankong in mid-air, sent a clear message to every surrounding Earth Immortal and Cultivator: the scenes that had just transpired were no illusion. The Fire Spirit Immortal Sect had truly been annihilated, and a High-Grade Earth Immortal had indeed been present.

Thinking of this, even the numerous Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect regarded Lin Xuankong with a hint of dread.

For the moment, even ’old acquaintances’ like Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er dared not casually approach and greet him.

"Gone! Just like that?

"Those were twenty-eight Earth Immortals... the twenty-eight Earth Immortals of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect that once dominated the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region!

"In just two breaths, they were all slain, their Divine Souls obliterated, their Dao extinguished and bodies perished!"

Grand Elder Sui He of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect muttered excitedly.

He was naturally thrilled that Lin Xuankong had dealt with the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect—but the manner in which Lin Xuankong had achieved this was so astonishing that even in his excitement, Grand Elder Sui He didn’t dare approach him.

Lin Xuankong paid them little mind. His eyes gleaming with anticipation, he gathered all twenty-eight Earth Immortal Golden Cores and twenty-eight Celestial Demon Bones before him.

The Celestial Demon Bones were self-evidently valuable; even a Tier One Celestial Demon Bone, which could rarely develop into a Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm, ultimately represented a Little World.

Barring an encounter with someone like Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s projected avatar who knew the Great Dissolving Technique, a Cultivator possessing a Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm essentially had a guarantee of near-immortality.

Moreover, the crucial point was that the Celestial Demon Technique of each Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm was unique. The Celestial Demon Technique from a Tier One Celestial Demon Bone was not necessarily inferior to one from a Tier Four Celestial Demon Bone. Additionally, these Celestial Demon Techniques, which were no less formidable than Immortal Techniques, could be used simply by fusing with and nurturing the Celestial Demon Bone. This was much easier than cultivating Immortal Techniques—at least for Lin Xuankong, nurturing Celestial Demon Bones was very simple.

As for the twenty-eight Earth Immortal Golden Cores, although Lin Xuankong currently lacked any Artifact Refining Technique that could utilize them, this present lack didn’t mean he wouldn’t find one in the future.

Items like Demon People’s Essence and Demon Pearl all had various formidable uses. Earth Immortal Golden Cores were incredibly valuable and difficult to acquire; there would surely be uses for them in the future. After all, these Earth Immortal Golden Cores were exceedingly precious, each one representing a fallen true Immortal.

Having collected all twenty-eight Earth Immortal Golden Cores, Lin Xuankong felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He glanced towards the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion and thought, The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect has a legacy spanning tens of thousands of years; they must have collected numerous Artifact Refining Techniques. Once today’s matters are settled, I can take a good look. But before that, there are still hundreds of Earth Immortals eagerly watching me...
