Chapter 431 - 412: Tier 4 Spirit Warship, Ascending to Golden Core
"Overpowered!"
"This level of amplification is already on par with the Erosion Stream Battle Armor!"
In the Divine Realm, the power Su Ye could wield could only be described with one word: overpowered!
Even when away from the Ghostly Flood Dragon, he could maintain this terrifying level of amplification by rapidly consuming source energy!
Aside from the amplification, Su Ye also felt that the Divine Realm could give rise to many divine abilities, such as enlightening living beings, creating avatars, and shaping holy spirits...
In short, any method a deity could use, Su Ye could basically use as well!
If he couldn’t use an ability, it was only because he lacked source energy, not because he hadn’t mastered it!
"Overpowered!"
"Way too overpowered!"
Su Ye said again.
But a smile crept onto his face.
’Hilarious. This isn’t a game. What’s the point of balance in the real world?!’
’I want to be overpowered!’
’I want to be overpowered!’
’If I can’t be overpowered, I won’t play!’
"Hooo..." Su Ye let out a long, clear breath!
’With the Ghostly Flood Dragon at my side, once I advance to the Golden Core realm, I should be able to... run rampant in this Outer Sea, where there are no Nascent Soul True Monarchs, right?’
Next, Su Ye had only one thing to do.
’The Golden Core!’
...
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
On this day, winter descended, filling the sky with frost and snow.
The peaks of Jade Dew Island were adorned with a touch of white, looking sacred and magnificent.
Su Ye sat atop a peak, brewing a cup of Spirit Tea and admiring the falling snow.
A cold snowflake landed on the tip of his nose.
"Hooo..."
Su Ye breathed out lightly, blowing it away.
At this moment, the nurturing of his divine seeds was complete.
After sitting atop the mountain watching the snow for a day and a night, the last bit of restlessness in his heart and mind had completely settled.
Suddenly, Su Ye couldn’t help but chuckle.
’It’s just the Golden Core. Why be so serious?’
’I will definitely succeed in this advancement!’
SWOOSH!
His figure flashed, transforming into a dark blue Escape Light as he returned to his seclusion abode.
The Ghostly Flood Dragon hovered high above, its forest of cannon barrels on the highest alert, protecting Su Ye’s abode!
"Jiaojiao."
"Stand guard for me. Anyone, no matter who, who enters the Jade Dew Island domain..."
"Kill them without mercy!"
Su Ye’s words were laced with a chilling coldness!
He had already temporarily moved all living beings off the island to prevent any accidents and to stop them from thinning the Spiritual Qi.
At the same time, he had issued an order for martial law!
’And someone still wants to try and force their way in under these circumstances?’
’Sorry, but no matter who they are, I’ll kill them all the same!’
"Yes, Master!"
Jiaojiao was absolutely loyal to Su Ye.
With her standing guard, given the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s current might and Jade Dew Island’s Golden Wind Jade Dew Formation, even a few Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage!
With the guards arranged, Su Ye’s mind settled, and he sat down cross-legged.
His Storage Ring flashed, and he brought out two treasures.
The Heart Guarding and Spirit Stabilizing Candle and the Clear Heart Dust Crossing Elixir.
These two treasures for dealing with Heart Demons floated and circled by his side, waiting to be used!
With all preparations complete, Su Ye took a deep breath, centered his mind, and submerged his consciousness into his Dantian Qi Sea!
’Let’s begin!’
BUZZ.
Within his Dantian Qi Sea, a Magic Power Crystal shimmered with brilliance!
At this point, his crystal no longer had the sharp, distinct edges of its initial, quartz-like form.
Instead, after several advancements, it had become increasingly full and perfect. It shone with a dazzling golden light, and its numerous Glazed Golden Patterns contained a golden essence that had even overwhelmed the crystal’s own azure blue!
’My foundation is incredibly deep.’
’The Magic Power Crystal is just one step away from becoming a Golden Core!’
A flash of understanding went through Su Ye’s mind.
Immediately, he focused his will, operated his Cultivation Technique at full power, and absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
Jade Dew Island trembled as a vast amount of Spiritual Qi from its fourth-rank Spirit Vein surged into the abode!
Inside the Seclusion Chamber, under the intense spiritual pressure, visible Spirit Liquid began to condense and drift in the air!
Then, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, the incredibly dense, already liquefied Spiritual Qi poured into Su Ye’s body!
Several hours later, under the polishing of the Spiritual Qi...
CRACK.
The last sharp edge on the Magic Power Crystal completely broke away!
The many divine seeds stirred, blooming like a lotus flower!
Soul-Chasing and Life-Reaping, Reversing Destiny and Returning to Life, End of Tracing Origin...
Netherworld Boat, Heart of the Vast Sea, Monarch of Calamity...
Netherworld Skill!
The Nine Divine Techniques were imprinted upon the Golden Core!
BUZZ!
Inside the Seclusion Chamber, a brilliant light erupted!
The Nine-Method Golden Core was forged!
BUZZ.
Within his Dantian Qi Sea!
The Nine-Method Golden Core shone, like a magnificent, blazing sun, breathing in endless Spiritual Qi and refining Su Ye’s Magical Power!
Under the refinement of the Golden Core, the Taiqing Magical Power in Su Ye’s body surged instantly!
WHOOSH!
In just a few breaths’ time, the total amount of his Magical Power skyrocketed by three times... five times... ten times!
Moreover, wisps of pure golden airflow could be seen overflowing and surging from the Golden Core!
This Golden Core Qi merged with his Taiqing Magical Power, actually transforming the latter into azure blue, gem-like crystals!
Qi Refining: gaseous Magical Power.
Foundation Establishment: Liquidized Magical Power.
Crystal Realm: condensing liquid into crystal.
Golden Core: after the crystal transforms into a Golden Core, it can emit Golden Core Qi to create Crystalized Magical Power!
Crystalized Magical Power was extremely condensed and its quality was massively increased. This type of Magical Power could even leave a cultivator’s Dantian and exist in the world for long periods in a solid form!
The Taiqing Magical Power had undergone a qualitative transformation!
At this moment, Su Ye transcended the Crystal Realm and achieved the Golden Core!
At the same time, golden light bloomed from the jade bones within Su Ye’s body.
The power of the golden fruit he had suppressed and saved until now burst forth!
This divine medicine merged with the transformation of Breaking Realm!
TSS!
Effortlessly, Su Ye’s physical body and divine soul broke through their realms at the same time!
Reaching the late-stage of the fourth rank!
Despite breaking through one realm after another, Su Ye’s mind was calm.
’With the wonders of the Crystal Skill, after reaching Crystal Perfection, achieving the Golden Core is a natural and inevitable outcome.’
’After all, it breaks down the intense, instantaneous transformation of Core Formation into an entire major realm for cultivators to polish and purify themselves.’
’With such an advantage, if I could still mess this up... Er, Da Chun, you’re not like everyone else; don’t waste your time on cultivation.’
"However..."
"Forging the core is easy, but passing the tribulation is hard!"
Su Ye’s gaze narrowed slightly.
After forming the core comes the tribulation from the Celestial Dao!
With a flick of his finger, a few motes of Spirit Fire flew out and lit the Heart Guarding and Spirit Stabilizing Candle, releasing its mind-calming fragrance.
At the same time, he popped the Clear Heart Dust Crossing Elixir into his mouth.
After doing all this, the scene before Su Ye’s eyes suddenly changed!
The Heart Demon Tribulation had arrived!
...
「At the same time.」
In the northwest of the Cyan Profound Sea Region.
In the area adjacent to the Day Flame Sea Region.
SCREECH!
A sonic boom tore through the sky!
A magnificent purple-gold Flying Boat could be seen streaking across the sea region at an unimaginable speed!
A dazzling, brilliant spiritual light flowed from the Flying Boat, completely unconcealed, carrying an aura of majestic dominance that made all evil retreat!
At the bow of the Flying Boat, two figures stood solemnly.
"The Cyan Profound Sea Region, tsk... what a barren sea. Even the Spiritual Qi is this thin..." The pampered-looking, white-robed old man raised his white eyebrows.
His eyebrows, hair, and beard were as white as snow, and they seemed to be made of clouds, constantly flowing and surging, giving him a rather miraculous appearance!
In the entire Day Flame Sea Region, only one person had such a unique appearance!
The ancestor of the Chu Family!
Chu Wunian!
"Mm."
Beside the old man, a female cultivator with neat, short, golden-white hair, a slender figure, and wearing a sleeveless cheongsam, replied coldly, her eyes seeming to contain flashes of lightning.
To have such an attitude toward the Chu Family’s ancestor! Without a doubt, this short-haired female cultivator was also a Golden Core True Monarch!
Early-stage Golden Core, Shenxiao—Lin Yinxiu!
"Heh..."
"This boy is laughable, thinking he could run back to his den and everything would be fine?"
"He colluded with Candle Python Cave, leading to the fall of Black Flame Fortress and putting the Flame Alliance on the back foot. Then he fled to escape punishment. This time... he must be brought to justice!"
Chu Wunian said in a low voice.
"Mr. Chu, do not use your public office to settle a private score... Besides, he is my subordinate. Whether or not he is guilty is for me to decide!"
Shenxiao swept her cold gaze over him, her almond-shaped eyes flashing as she warned him in a frosty voice.
Chu Wunian was about to say something, but suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he stared at a certain spot.
Lin Yinxiu did the same, astonishment filling her beautiful eyes.
In the far distance, a massive vortex of Spiritual Qi was faintly visible!
"This kind of Spiritual Qi fluctuation?"
"Someone is breaking through to the Golden Core realm?!"
