CHAPTER 588: CHAPTER 271: ENDLESS STAMINA, SUMMONING THE BUDDHA_3

"Tsk, tsk. If this thing self-destructs... A Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King Level being... its self-destruction must be incredibly terrifying, right? A Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King Level being generally possesses an Immortal Body far larger than an Earth Immortal of the same tier. In other words, if this Flame Spirit Sparrow King were to self-destruct, its power would undoubtedly be several times greater than that of a Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal’s self-destruction!"

"Alas, it’s no wonder the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect has thrived in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region for thousands, even tens of thousands, of years. Such masterful Immortal Techniques, capable of summoning Demon King Level beings... it seems only the Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect in the entire Central Divine Dynasty Western Region are capable of such feats!"

"No matter what, it’s best to keep our distance. If Flaming Blade Duan River truly forces this Late-Stage Third-Grade Flame Spirit Sparrow King to self-destruct, anyone too close will likely be injured!"

At these words, the hundreds of Earth Immortals from the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance all showed expressions of apprehension, quietly backing away. If a Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King Level being self-destructed, it could effortlessly kill Initial Tier Earth Immortals, First-Grade Earth Immortals, and Second-Grade Earth Immortals. Even a Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal, someone of the same realm, would suffer grievous injuries and be unable to escape if caught in a point-blank self-destruction!

Even the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, the Five Elements Wanderer, activated his Immortal Yuan and retreated some distance. Despite being at the Late Stage of the Fifth Grade, nearing the Perfection Realm, he still considered the self-destruction of a Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King Level being quite troublesome!

Seeing the crowd of Earth Immortals retreat upon witnessing his summoned Flame Spirit Sparrow King, Duan River, the Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, once again revealed a gleeful expression. While commanding the Flame Spirit Sparrow King to keep its eyes on Lin Xuankong, he also aimed his Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, the Flame Saber, at him. With a smug look on his face, he sneered, "Mu Shiba, Mu Shiba, how could you possibly handle the true methods of a Third-Grade Earth Immortal? Let me ask you, would you prefer to first taste the Flame Breath of this Flame Spirit Sparrow King, or the Flame Cutting of my Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, the Flame Saber? Of course, if you’re not convinced, we can fight for dozens of rounds. I’ll let you experience the true methods of a Third-Grade Earth Immortal, and then you can decide! Hahaha!"

Lin Xuankong looked at the smug Flaming Blade Duan River but didn’t respond. Instead, he continued to infuse True Qi into the Buddha Summoning Talisman, preparing to activate the second Buddhist Technique it contained.

Seeing Lin Xuankong remain silent, Flaming Blade Duan River sneered again. He raised his right arm and pointed forward!

Instantly, the Flame Spirit Sparrow King—with its wingspan measuring tens of thousands of feet, its enormous body blazing with crimson flames—transformed into a massive, fiery red stream of light, hurtling towards Lin Xuankong at terrifying speed! The scene resembled a continent-destroying meteor crashing down upon him. The Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber, activated by Duan River, also transformed into a massive stream of light resembling a fire dragon, shooting towards Lin Xuankong! This was the advantage of an Immortal Artifact; although the Flame Saber was merely an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, being wielded by a Third-Grade Earth Immortal meant its speed and power were not much inferior to those of the Flame Spirit Sparrow King!

Simultaneously, Duan River suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a round, crimson Treasure Elixir floated out! This was none other than Flaming Blade Duan River’s Earth Immortal Golden Core, a Late-Stage Third-Grade treasure he had refined for thousands of years, rendering it nearly indestructible! As soon as this Golden Core appeared, it ignited with a large amount of flames, also transforming into a fiery stream of light, shooting towards Lin Xuankong!

To defeat Lin Xuankong and save face before the hundreds of Earth Immortals from the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, Flaming Blade Duan River didn’t just simultaneously activate the Flame Spirit Sparrow King and his Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber; he also unleashed his strongest trump card—his Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core!

"Damn it, something’s going to happen!"

At this moment, the expressions of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect cultivators changed. Sect Leader Li cried out in alarm and, without hesitation, activated the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact in his hand.

Previously, when Lin Xuankong used the Buddha Summoning Talisman to activate the Buddha’s Light Buddhist Technique, the Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had all heaved a collective sigh of relief. This included Sect Leader Li, the three Grand Elders, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er, and even the tens of thousands of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples. These cultivators from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were amazed by Mu Shiba’s strength and his numerous trump cards. Naturally, they were happy for him and proud that he could withstand the attack of a Third-Grade Earth Immortal.

However, when Flaming Blade Duan River summoned the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, the expressions of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Earth Immortals changed drastically. When Duan River unleashed the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber, and his Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core to simultaneously attack Lin Xuankong, the hearts of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Earth Immortals leaped into their throats!

After all, any one of these three attacks—the Late-Stage Third-Grade Flame Spirit Sparrow King, the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber, or the Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core—was potent enough to give even a Third-Grade Earth Immortal a severe headache!
