Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Only then did the Five Elements Wanderer toss the First-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Silver Jade Duster, into the air.

In an instant, the Silver Jade Duster expanded to nearly ten thousand feet in length, its filaments extending several thousand feet, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Each filament was tens of feet thick! The aura emanating from each filament was more terrifying than any Ninth-Layer Perfection Cultivator could possibly produce, and there were hundreds of thousands of such filaments!

One could only imagine: if this Silver Jade Duster were to strike with its full force, wouldn't it be equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Ninth-Layer Perfection Cultivators striking simultaneously?

The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had only tens of thousands of Ninth-Layer Perfection disciples; how could they possibly withstand such an attack? It seemed that only by combining the strength of all the Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals, including Sect Leader Li, the three Grand Elders, and others, might they hope to endure a single strike from this Silver Jade Duster!

Most critically, judging by the sheer power radiating from this Silver Jade Duster, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Grand Array probably wouldn't hold for long under its assault!

All the Earth Immortals and Cultivators present—whether they were the hundreds gathered to annihilate the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and capture Mu Shiba, the tens of Earth Immortals and tens of thousands of disciples from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, or even Chi Liuxia and the others who had already fled thousands of miles away—stared at the Five Elements Wanderer. He had just used a Spirit Talisman to ascend to the Sixth Grade Realm and was now wielding a First-Grade Immortal Artifact. Intense fear filled their eyes!

Every person's body tensed. The hearts of the more timid ones pounded violently, their hands and feet turning icy and trembling.

The power of a First-Grade Immortal Artifact when wielded by a Ninth-Layer Perfection Cultivator was one thing. When used by an Initial Tier or a First, Second, or Third-Grade Earth Immortal, it was another. But the might it displayed in the hands of a Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal was worlds apart!

Hovering in the sky and wielding the First-Grade Immortal Artifact, the Silver Jade Duster, the Five Elements Wanderer sensed the fear in the gazes of the hundreds of Earth Immortals looking up at him. He also felt the desperate resolve in the eyes of the many Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. A cold smile touched his lips.

"Hmph! Your Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect has a powerful Sect Protection Array passed down by its founder, but does my Five Elements Immortal Sect not also possess treasures left by our own founder?

"Old Ghost Sui He, I'm giving you one last chance. After all, we once fought side-by-side and can be considered life-and-death companions!

"If you order all Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to lay down their weapons, stop activating the Sect Protection Grand Array, surrender, and hand Mu Shiba over to our Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance, then, for the sake of our past friendship, I can spare the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. I will only punish some of your Cultivators!

"This way, your Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect can at least preserve a spark of its legacy and avoid complete annihilation today!"

As he finished speaking, his six-thousand-plus-foot-tall body gradually approached the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Grand Array.

The hundreds of thousands of filaments from his ten-thousand-foot-long First-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Silver Jade Duster, extended continuously. They snaked towards the energy barrier of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Grand Array, resembling hundreds of thousands of terrifying white tentacles descending from the sky!

This scene exuded an unprecedented sense of oppression, instilling a suffocating dread in every Earth Immortal and disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

"Old Ghost Sui He, three breaths. I'll only give you three breaths to consider!"

Floating in midair, the Five Elements Wanderer looked down with satisfaction at the tense expressions on the faces of every Earth Immortal and disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. He savored this feeling—the feeling of others fearing him! And most importantly, those who feared him now were all the Earth Immortals and disciples of the renowned Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect from the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region!

"Three!"

The Five Elements Wanderer's voice dripped with arrogance and mockery, his eyes glancing down from the high heavens with a touch of disdain.

"Spiritual Crane Disciples, attack this Five Elements Old Thief together!"

Before the Five Elements Wanderer could even count 'two' or 'one,' Grand Elder Sui He of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect could no longer tolerate the Five Elements Wanderer's overbearing arrogance, flaunting his superior might!

Instantly, tens of thousands of Magical Artifacts from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples and eight or nine Immortal Artifacts from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Earth Immortals, all fueled by True Qi and Immortal Yuan, expanded to their maximum size. They surged towards the lofty Five Elements Wanderer in a unified assault!

Even a dozen Second- and Third-Grade Earth Immortals, their faces contorted with extreme anger, activated their Second- and Third-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Cores, which then shot ferociously towards the Five Elements Wanderer!

The sheer scale of this attack caused even the Five Elements Wanderer, who had relied on an Immortal Transformation Talisman to reach the Sixth Grade, to show a change in expression. He swiftly activated the First-Grade Immortal Artifact, the Silver Jade Duster, to counter the tens of thousands of Magical Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts!

A Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal was indeed powerful, but even a multitude of ants could kill an elephant!

The combined assault of tens of thousands of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples was equivalent to the full-strength attack of hundreds of Initial Tier Earth Immortals, over a hundred First-Grade Earth Immortals, and even several Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals. Furthermore, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, the two Vice Sect Leaders, and the three Grand Elders all possessed Cultivation at the Late Stage of the Fifth Grade. Adding to this barrage were the Golden Core attacks from a dozen other Earth Immortals...

No matter how strong the Five Elements Wanderer was, he wouldn't dare use his Immortal Body to directly withstand such a combined onslaught.
