CHAPTER 589: CHAPTER 271: ENDLESS ENDURANCE, SUMMONING BUDDHA_4

Flaming Blade Duan River was actually forcibly using all his trump cards to fight a cultivator at the Tenth Layer of the Transcendence Realm!

Among the many Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Sect Leader Li and Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er acted decisively. They immediately activated the Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts at their disposal and rushed towards Lin Xuankong.

Unfortunately, their timing was still slightly late. This was true even though Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was somewhat stronger than Flaming Blade Duan River, and even though Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was a dignified Fifth Grade Late Stage cultivator. The main reason for their delay was their utter astonishment: they simply hadn’t expected that the distinguished Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, when fighting a mere cultivator at the Tenth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, would unleash every single trump card, even going as far as to throw out his Earth Immortal Golden Core!

Just as Sect Leader Li and Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect launched their Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, they saw with despair that the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber and the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, both activated by Flaming Blade Duan River, were already closing in on Lin Xuankong.

In the sky at that moment, the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, with its wings stretching ten thousand zhang, suddenly opened its long beak. It spat out an intensely bright fire line that instantly shot towards Lin Xuankong. Simultaneously, the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber, wreathed in endless, furiously burning flames and possessing the terrifying power to shatter space, slashed directly at Lin Xuankong’s head! Meanwhile, the bright red, perfectly round Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core hovered three thousand zhang from Lin Xuankong, spinning continuously, seemingly searching for the right moment to deliver a finishing blow.

Just then, Flaming Blade Duan River abruptly discovered that Lin Xuankong’s location was suddenly bathed in brilliant Buddha’s Light. It became blindingly bright, as if millions of miniature suns had ignited all at once! Simultaneously, waves of solemn and majestic Buddhist chants resonated from Lin Xuankong’s position. It was as if, in that instant, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of incredibly devout Buddhist Disciples were reciting scriptures right where he stood.

What shocked Flaming Blade Duan River most concerned the fire line spat out by the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, whose wings spanned ten thousand zhang. This fire line was the ultimate Talent of the Flame Spirit Sparrow race, capable of igniting any object within the same realm. Because the Sparrow King was a Late-stage Third Grade Demon King Level existence, its fire line could even ignite and damage the Golden Core of a Mid-grade Third Grade Earth Immortal!

Yet now, that Talent Fire Line from the Flame Spirit Sparrow King—a power capable of incinerating mountains and boiling seas—was just a hundred-thousandth of a breath away from striking Lin Xuankong. However, it was completely blocked by the suddenly appearing Buddha’s Light, unable to advance even an inch! The Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Flame Saber met the same fate. As an artifact that could effortlessly shatter space and cleave through an Earth Immortal’s Immortal Body, it had already reached Lin Xuankong’s head and was about to strike. Yet, it too was obstructed by the Buddha’s Light. No matter how desperately Flaming Blade Duan River tried to urge it forward, the Flame Saber couldn’t move the slightest bit.

"Damn it! So close, just a little bit more!" Flaming Blade Duan River’s expression was incredibly grim, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Ordinarily, he was fully aware that Galin Bodhisattva of the Spirit Platform Buddhist Sect was nearby and that Mu Shiba was under Galin Bodhisattva’s protection. Even if he possessed the audacity of a million lions, he wouldn’t dare harbor any designs on Lin Xuankong’s life! Moreover, Lin Xuankong’s Artifact Refining Technique was the very reason the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance had gathered. This meant that even if the entire Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were to be slaughtered, Lin Xuankong had to remain alive. As the one who had relayed this information, Flaming Blade Duan River was acutely aware of this fact.

Regrettably, accustomed as he was to acting tyrannically, in his towering rage, he had already lost some of his reason. Especially after unleashing his trump cards one after another, only to be thwarted each time by this insignificant cultivator at the Tenth Layer of Transcendence, the boundless shame and anger had already driven him to the brink of madness.
