Chapter 430: Boundless Hatred, Five Elements Quintessence Palm!
Chapter 430: Boundless Hatred, Five Elements Quintessence Palm!
As the tribulation cloud vortex completely dispersed, the red-faced elder and the others swiftly advanced forward, employing their movement techniques.
Upon reaching the area directly beneath the tribulation cloud, they witnessed a two-mile radius of devastation.
Charred trees were scattered everywhere, many still smoldering in flames.
It was evident that this place had endured the devastating might of the heavenly tribulation.
Amidst the wreckage, a tattered figure sat in meditation, adorned with a dignified aura and a radiant golden light emanating from their body.
Although their Dharma robes were in tatters, the golden light surrounding them exuded an imposing aura, deterring others from gazing directly at them.
The red-faced elder and his companions, upon witnessing this sight, dared not disturb the Golden Bell Elder. They promptly dispersed, forming a protective formation around him.
Not long after, they observed the Golden Bell Elder's body tremble, and the golden light on his body intensified once more.
A harmonious and perfected aura emanated from him.
"He has successfully condensed the Golden Core Relic!" the red-faced elder and his companions exclaimed with delight.
The Golden Bell Elder slowly opened his eyes, revealing a golden light that made him appear even more formidable and inviolable.
"Congratulations, Golden Bell Elder, on overcoming the tribulation and condensing the Golden Core Relic. Longevity is now within your grasp!" the red-faced elder and his companions congratulated in unison.
"Thank you, fellow cultivators, for your protection during my tribulation," the Golden Bell Elder said, his golden light dimming as he stood up and bowed in gratitude.
"Haha, Golden Bell Elder, it seems your foundation is indeed the deepest. After the Head Abbot, you are the second to achieve the Golden Core Relic realm," an elder laughed.
"I was merely impatient, fellow elders. Your cultivation is no less than mine, and I believe you will soon succeed in overcoming the tribulation and condensing the Golden Core Relic as well," the Golden Bell Elder humbly smiled.
"Golden Bell Elder, now that you have achieved the Golden Core Realm, along with the Head Abbot, our Hanging Mountain has two Golden Core cultivators. No one will dare to humiliate our Hanging Mountain again!" another elder exclaimed with emotion.
"Are you referring to the masked mysterious man from a while ago, Elder Withered Tree?" the Golden Bell Elder asked, his expression turning solemn upon hearing this. "Rest assured, that demon relied solely on the advantage of his spirit artifact. His actual strength is not that formidable.
If he dares to return, I will ensure he won't leave alive!
Even if he doesn't come back, once I solidify my cultivation, I will search for his whereabouts.
Our Hanging Mountain has lost too many disciples to let their deaths go unavenged!"
The Golden Bell Elder's thoughts turned to the disciples who had perished at the hands of the masked mysterious man, including his two most promising disciples who had also fallen to the demon.
He had long made up his mind to personally eliminate that demon.
As the Hanging Mountain elders contemplated how to find the demon, a faint voice suddenly echoed from above.
"Is that so? Then what can you do to me now that I'm here?"
"Who are you?!"
The Golden Bell Elder and the red-faced elder were startled, their eyes darting upwards.
They saw a figure standing in the sky, backlit by the sunlight.
Dressed in black robes, standing atop a golden vessel, and wearing a ghostly mask, the figure stared coldly down at them.
"It's you?!"
"The demon?!"
Upon recognizing the figure, all the elders' eyes widened in shock.
Some were so startled that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The appearance of Lu Qing had a profound impact on them.
What shocked them even more was that Lu Qing had reached their location without them noticing.
If the demon had launched a surprise attack just now, they would have been completely unprepared.
This damnable stealth technique, it's so terrifying!
But after the initial shock, excitement followed.
Just moments ago, they were still pondering how to find the demon and avenge their fallen disciples.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the demon had delivered itself right to their doorstep.
"Demon! You dare to reveal yourself?"
The Red-Faced Elder's face lit up with excitement, and he immediately summoned a Vajra Mace as his Buddhist treasure, ready to unleash its power.
The other elders also summoned their own treasures, preparing to attack Lu Qing.
Although the demon was formidable and possessed a Spirit Artifact, they had the newly advanced Golden Core Realm cultivator, the Golden Bell Elder, on their side.
Together, they were confident that even with the Spirit Artifact, they would slay the demon on the spot, leaving no chance for escape!
The Golden Bell Elder was equally surprised by Lu Qing's sudden appearance.
With his Golden Core Realm spiritual senses, he hadn't detected Lu Qing's arrival beforehand.
However, upon realizing that Lu Qing possessed a Spirit Artifact, he felt a sense of relief.
The might of a Spirit Artifact was boundless, with its ability to conceal one's aura and block the laws of cause and effect.
The demon must have used the power of the Spirit Artifact to hide its presence, evading the Elder's perception and appearing here!
The Golden Bell Elder suppressed his shock and glared coldly at Lu Qing.
"You choose the path of damnation, ignoring the way to salvation. Demon, do you think that possessing a Spirit Artifact gives you free rein to act as you please?"
"Today, I will take your Spirit Artifact and use the boundless Buddhist teachings to send you to the eighteenth level of hell!
"I will offer salvation to the souls of our many disciples from the Hanging Mountain who suffered a tragic death at your hands!"
As he spoke, golden light emanated from the Golden Bell Elder's body, and a powerful aura erupted, suppressing the surroundings like a raging storm, causing the trees within several li to tremble.
"Golden Bell Elder!"
The other elders felt their spirits lift as they sensed the overwhelming might of the Golden Bell Elder.
Especially the Red-Faced Elder, whose heart was set on the impending battle.
The power unleashed by the Golden Bell Elder surpassed even that of the demon when it had used the Spirit Artifact.
This time, the demon would surely face its demise!
However, despite the fervent atmosphere among the elders below, Lu Qing's expression in the sky remained unchanged.
He continued to observe them with a cold gaze, as if looking upon a group of clowns.
This gaze directly provoked the elders below.
The Golden Bell Elder flew into a rage, "Playing tricks! Do you think you can stand above the Hanging Mountain? Get down here!"
Before he finished speaking, the golden light on his body transformed into a giant Buddha Palm, dozens of zhang in size, and struck towards the sky, aiming to knock Lu Qing down from the air.
At the same time, the Red-Faced Elder and the others, who had already formed an array, also activated their Buddhist treasures and magical artifacts.
Vajra Maces, Golden Bowls, Precepts Blades, Zen Staffs, and other treasures glowed with golden light, following the Buddha Palm and attacking Lu Qing.
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with golden radiance, and the various treasures, led by the Golden Bell Elder's Buddha Palm, resembled a colossal golden dragon, striking towards Lu Qing.
The overwhelming might caused the surrounding laws of heaven and earth to tremble.
Compared to this power, Lu Qing's figure seemed as insignificant as a moth before a mountain collapse.
However, despite the terrifying attack, Lu Qing's gaze remained calm and unperturbed, without a hint of emotion.
"Ignorant fool."
Lu Qing formed a palm seal with his hand.
As Lu Qing executed this palm seal, the laws of heaven and earth around him began to stir.
Within a ten-li radius, the spirit qi surged like boiling water, rapidly converging.
A giant palm, several li in size, appeared, radiating prismatic radiance.
Amidst the disbelieving gazes of the elders, it was condensed into existence.
