Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Overwhelming hatred, the Five Elements Palm!

As the vortex of the tribulation cloud completely dissipated, the red-faced old monk and his companions, using their acrobatic skills

, rushed forward. Arriving directly beneath the calamity cloud, they saw a devastated area two miles in radius.

Charred trees lay everywhere, many still ablaze.

One could imagine the devastation the tribulation had inflicted.

Amidst this devastation, a ragged figure sat cross-legged. His appearance

was solemn, and a golden glow emanated from him.

Though his robes were tattered, the golden light emanated from him with a majesty that frightened anyone who looked directly at him.

Seeing this, the red-faced old monk and his companions, not wanting to disturb Elder Jinzhong, immediately dispersed, forming a formation to protect him.

Soon, they saw Elder Jinzhong’s body tremble, and the golden light emanating from him intensified.

An aura of perfection and harmony emanated from him.

“Successfully condensed the golden elixir!”

The red-faced old monk and his companions exclaimed in delight.

Elder Jinzhong slowly opened his eyes, a golden light shimmering within them, making him appear majestic and inviolable.

“Congratulations, Elder Jinzhong, for surviving the tribulation and condensing the Golden Elixir Relic, promising immortality!”

the red-faced old monk and the others chorused their congratulations.

“Thank you, fellow disciples, for your protection!”

Elder Jinzhong retracted the golden light from his body, rose, and bowed to the red-faced old monk and the others.

“Haha, Elder Jinzhong, you truly possess the most profound foundation. After the abbot, you are the second to achieve the Golden Elixir Relic realm,” an old monk chuckled.

“Jinzhong was simply a little impatient. The other elders have accumulated as much as I do, and I believe you too will soon be able to successfully overcome the tribulation and condense the Golden Elixir Relic,”

Elder Jinzhong said with a humble smile.

“Elder Jinzhong, now that you have achieved the Golden Elixir realm, along with the abbot, we now have two Golden Elixir-level masters in Xuankong Mountain. Now, I wonder who dares to insult Xuankong Mountain again!”

another old monk exclaimed excitedly.

“Elder Kurumu, are you referring to that mysterious man with a ghostly face from not long ago?”

Elder Jinzhong’s expression grew solemn upon hearing this. “Don’t worry, that evil demon is merely relying on the power of his spiritual weapon; his own strength is nothing special.

If he dares to come again, I’ll make sure he doesn’t return!

Even if he doesn’t come, once I’ve stabilized my realm, I’ll go out and search for him.

How could so many of my disciples from Xuankong Mountain die in vain?”

Elder Jinzhong’s heart ached as he thought of the disciples who had tragically perished at the hands of the mysterious man with a ghostly face

. Two of his most prized disciples had also perished at the hands of that evil demon.

He had long since resolved that one day, he would personally slay that demon.

Just as the Xuankong Mountain monks were contemplating how to locate the demon,

a faint voice suddenly echoed from above them.

“Really? Then what can you do now that I’m here?”

“Who is it?!”

Elder Jinzhong, the red-faced monk, and the others were startled, their heads abruptly raised to the sky.

Then they saw a figure suspended in the sky, against the light.

Clad in a black robe, it stepped on a golden boat, and wore a masked face, gazing coldly at them.

“It’s you!!”

“Evil demon!”

Upon seeing the figure in the sky, all the old monks’ eyes widened.

Some even nearly popped their eyes out.

It’s easy to imagine the profound impact Lu Qing’s appearance had on them.

What shocked them even more was that Lu Qing had already hovered over them, yet they remained completely unaware.

If the demon had attacked them by surprise, wouldn’t they have been completely unprepared?

This demon’s stealth skills were truly terrifying!

But after the shock, excitement followed.

Just moments earlier, they had been contemplating how to find the demon and avenge their fallen disciples.

Unexpectedly, the demon had suddenly arrived.

“Devil! How dare you reveal yourself?!”

The red-faced elder beamed with excitement, immediately summoning a vajra and preparing to activate it.

The other elder monks similarly summoned their own magical weapons, ready to attack Lu Qing.

While the demon was formidable and possessed a spiritual weapon, they also had Elder Jin Zhong, a newly ascended Jindan realm cultivator.

With their combined strength, even with a spiritual weapon, they could surely slay the demon on the spot, without a single blow left to retreat!

Elder Jin Zhong was equally taken aback by Lu Qing’s sudden appearance.

Even with his Jindan-level spiritual perception,

he definitely hadn’t detected Lu Qing’s arrival in advance. However, the thought that the other party possessed a spiritual weapon brought him relief.

The power of a spiritual weapon was boundless, possessing the ability to conceal auras and shield causality.

This demon must have used the power of a spiritual weapon to conceal his aura, thus evading his perception and appearing here!

Elder Jinzhong suppressed his shock and looked at Lu Qing coldly.

“You truly refuse to take the road to heaven and forfeit the gates to hell, demon! Do you truly believe that possessing a spiritual weapon gives you the right to do whatever you please?

Today, I will seize your spiritual weapon and, with my boundless Buddhist teachings, send you to the eighteen levels of Hell!

I repent to the souls of the many disciples of Xuankong Mountain who tragically perished at your hands!”

With these words, a golden light emanated from Elder Jinzhong’s body, and a powerful aura erupted, suppressing all directions like a raging wind, causing the trees within a radius of several miles to tremble.

“Elder Jinzhong!”

The other monks, sensing the overwhelming might of Elder Jinzhong, were all invigorated.

The red-faced monk, in particular, felt a surge of peace.

The might unleashed by Elder Jinzhong was even greater than the demon’s when he activated his magical artifact.

This time, the demon was doomed!

However, despite the monks’ outburst, Lu Qing’s expression in the sky remained unchanged,

staring down at them coldly, as if he were a bunch of clowns.

This gaze immediately irritated the monks below.

Elder Jinzhong erupted in rage: “You’re playing tricks! Do you think you, an evil demon, can stand above Hanging Mountain? Get down!”

Before he had finished speaking, the golden light emanating from his body transformed into a Buddha’s palm, tens of feet in size, which blasted towards the sky, aiming to knock Lu Qing down.

Simultaneously, the red-faced monk and the others, who had already formed a formation, also activated their own magical instruments.

Vajra, golden bowl, sword, Zen staff, etc., all shone with golden light, following the Buddha’s palm, and bombarded Lu Qing.

For a moment, the whole sky was shining with golden light. Many Buddhist treasures, led by Elder Jinzhong’s Buddha’s palm, bombarded Lu Qing like a huge golden dragon.

The powerful might made the laws of the surrounding heaven and earth tremble.

Compared with it, Lu Qing’s figure seemed as small as a moth before a landslide.

However, facing such a terrifying attack, Lu Qing’s eyes remained indifferent, without a trace of fluctuation.

“You don’t know whether to live or die.”

Then he pinched the palm seal with his hand and issued a palm print.

With Lu Qing’s palm print, the laws of the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly became agitated.

The spiritual energy within a radius of ten miles boiled like boiling water and gathered at a rapid speed.

In the blink of an eye, a giant palm of magic power that was several miles in size and glowed with colorful glass light

was condensed in the incredulous eyes of the old monks.
