CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 271: ENDLESS ENDURANCE, SUMMONING BUDDHA

Hearing that Flaming Blade Duan River wanted to compete in endurance, Lin Xuankong’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

He used the Buddha Summoning Talisman to activate Buddha’s Light, which indeed consumed True Qi. Moreover, this consumption would increase with each annihilation of an opponent’s summoned creature!

Of course, since it was one of the core cultivation techniques of Spirit Platform Buddhism, this exquisite Buddha’s Light cultivation technique consumed far less True Qi and Immortal Yuan to annihilate an opponent’s summoned creatures than the opponent themselves expended. In other words, at this moment, Lin Xuankong, using Buddha’s Light against the Flame Giant Sparrows continuously summoned by Flaming Blade Duan River, consumed much less True Qi than Flaming Blade Duan River himself!

The crucial point was that Lin Xuankong’s Life Plate Talent had undergone another change after he advanced to the Early Stage of the Tenth Layer of Transcendence.

Nurturing Level: True Qi 500,000/500,000 Third Grade 500/500]

As shown in his Life Plate, Lin Xuankong’s True Qi capacity limit had increased from the original 9,000,000 points to a full 10,000,000 points!

With such a terrifying True Qi capacity, Lin Xuankong couldn’t imagine what kind of creature in this world could compare to him in endurance or battles of attrition. At the very least, the so-called high and mighty Earth Immortals before him, even if every single one of them was brought out, couldn’t possibly surpass him in terms of True Qi capacity! Even if he allowed his opponents to use Profound Truth Jade, they probably still couldn’t surpass him! After all, a single Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade held only dozens of points of True Qi capacity... His ten million points of True Qi capacity equaled that of hundreds of thousands of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades!

Thinking of this, an amused look touched Lin Xuankong’s face as he watched Flaming Blade Duan River continuously summon Flame Sparrows. At this time, the face of this Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, a dignified Late Stage Third Grade Earth Immortal, was already somewhat distorted. He frantically activated the Fire Spirit Divine Skill, summoning large swaths of Flame Sparrows from the flames to charge at Lin Xuankong!

However, no matter how many Flame Sparrows Flaming Blade Duan River summoned, once they entered the range of Buddha’s Light, they were invariably reduced in size, annihilated, and turned into wisps of smoke!

After dozens of breaths, the Late Stage Third Grade Earth Immortal’s face twisted, his complexion turning somewhat pale. He suddenly realized that nearly all the Immortal Yuan in his thousands-of-feet-tall Immortal Body had been completely depleted! Summoning Ninth-Layer Perfection Flame Sparrows frequently and at high speed was incredibly draining. Even though a single Flame Sparrow consumed only a few dozen points of True Qi, and dozens of Flame Sparrows were needed to consume one point of Immortal Yuan, the sheer quantity was overwhelming. In those dozens of breaths, Flaming Blade Duan River, determined to engage Lin Xuankong in a war of attrition and drain him dry, had summoned a truly astonishing total of nearly three hundred thousand Flame Sparrows!

Such a massive number of summons... Even though it took dozens of Flame Sparrows to consume a single point of Flaming Blade Duan River’s Immortal Yuan, the total expenditure had depleted the nearly ten thousand points of Immortal Yuan he had nurtured at his Third Grade Late Stage Realm, leaving almost nothing behind.

By this point, Flaming Blade Duan River stared at Lin Xuankong, his face pale and his eyes filled with disbelief. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How did you manage this? You used a Spirit Talisman to gain this defensive Buddha’s Light, and to annihilate my Flame Sparrows, the consumption must be immense! Nearly three hundred thousand Flame Sparrows, and you wiped them out completely, not one could get close enough to attack you... You actually possess such an enormous reserve of True Qi?"

Lin Xuankong remained silent, his hand once again landing on the Spirit Talisman. By now, he had no intention of engaging in idle talk with this doomed Flaming Blade Duan River! At this moment, what he anticipated most was the technique to summon Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s avatar projection...

The several hundred Earth Immortals observing around them were now utterly stunned, discussing among themselves, "This... this is too abnormal! A cultivator in the Transcendence Realm, relying on a defensive cultivation technique, actually withstood all the attacks of a Late Stage Third Grade Earth Immortal?"
