Chapter 197 - 197: Golden Core Formed Through the Way of the Heavens 1



Lu Yuan originally thought that the heavenly thunder would end after nine rounds.

The heavens had caught him off guard with this additional round.

The nine tribulation clouds had actually merged to deliver an ultimate heavenly thunder.

The power of this heavenly tribulation was equivalent to that of an all-out attack of a Core Formation Stage cultivator.

Furthermore, the special penetrating effect of the heavenly thunder made things worse.

Such an attack was even more troublesome than the attacks of many Core Formation Stage Fifth and Sixth Level cultivators combined.

This was because ordinary divine abilities and magic items could not withstand such an attack at all.

Explaining this in gaming terms, such an attack was true damage.

Thankfully, Lu Yuan had many methods to defend himself. Not only was his divine soul powerful, but his physical body was also very terrifying.

Even so, when the lightning landed on his body, Lu Yuan still found it intolerable.

It was as if he was stabbed by countless needles.

The pain was indescribable.

However, Lu Yuan could also feel the changes in his body amidst the intense pain.

There were two changes that were the most visible.

One was naturally his spiritual roots.

Previously, Lu Yuan had fused his nine spiritual roots together.

However, this fusion was only the initial fusion.

He was at the so-called Pseudo Core Stage.

In order to truly turn the fused spiritual roots into a golden core, the core would still need to go through a compression process.

This process required the help of external forces like the heavenly thunder.

Only the power of the heavenly thunder could help him compress these spiritual roots well, merging them into one.

Now, Lu Yuan’s fused spiritual roots had finally been compressed.

A round, embryonic form of the golden core appeared in his body.

From the looks of it, it would not be long before this golden core was completely fused together.

Even though his golden core was still in the process of fusion, Lu Yuan could feel the immense power emitted by it.

Be it the quantity or quality of the spiritual energy stored in the golden core, it far exceeded that of other Core Formation Stage cultivators he had encountered before.

Aside from the formation of the golden core, Lu Yuan also felt changes in his body.

His body was already at the peak of the Innate Stage prior to this.

He was a step away from reaching the True Martial Realm, which was comparable to the Core Formation Stage.

Lu Yuan had not thought of it before. However, when he realized that the heavenly thunder was baptizing his body as well, he understood that his heavenly tribulation would require his physical body to also cross the tribulation.

Otherwise, this part would not have been necessary.

After all, no matter how he looked at it, this last bolt of heavenly thunder was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

How could those weak spell cultivators survive the last bolt of lightning?

Finally, after his baptism, Lu Yuan soon discovered that the dark clouds above his head gradually dissipated.

The disappearance of these dark clouds also signified the end of his tribulation.

When the dark clouds parted, a golden ray of light shone on his body.

This multicolored light made Lu Yuan feel as if his body was soaked in a hot spring. He felt warm.

His golden core, which was only a step away from completion, finally achieved perfection under the multicolored light.

Core Formation through the way of the heavens… Completed!

Sensing the huge changes in his body, Lu Yuan immediately looked at his interface.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Cultivation: Core Formation Stage First Level]

[Physical Body: True Martial Realm Level 1]

[Golden Core Grade: Heaven Grade]

[Luck: 15000]

[Cultivation Technique:…]

He watched as his cultivation level rose to the Core Formation Stage, and his physical body ascended to the True Martial Realm.

Lu Yuan felt that he had really become stronger.

However, other than the increase in his cultivation, Lu Yuan was more curious about what kind of enhancements his golden core formed through the way of the heavens would have on him.

[Golden Core formed through the way of the heavens]

[Effect: Spiritual energy storage increased by 10 times. Spiritual energy absorption speed increased by 10 times. Spiritual energy is imbued with the power of the heavens and can greatly increase the power of divine abilities. You can freely switch between the nine attributes (metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, Yin and Yang).]

After reading the description, Lu Yuan quickly noticed the difference between his golden core formed through the way of the heavens and other ordinary golden cores.

10 times the storage of spiritual energy and 10 times the absorption speed of spiritual energy was greater than the sum of its parts.

This meant that among those of the same level, not only did Lu Yuan have stronger endurance, but his spiritual energy was also stronger.

Even when he could not recover his spiritual energy, he could still use more divine abilities than cultivators of the same level.

Moreover, his ten times increment was compared to that of a Core Formation Stage First Level cultivator.

Lu Yuan felt that this multiplier might be fixed.

In other words, if he cultivated to Core Formation Stage Ninth Level, his spiritual energy would be 10 times the amount of ordinary Core Formation Stage Ninth Level cultivators.

This was extremely thrilling.

Because the greater his foundation, the greater his improvement.

What was the thing people feared the most?

People were afraid of having no future.

With his golden core formed through the way of the heavens, Lu Yuan would surely have an easy time at the Core Formation Stage.

He estimated that by the time he reached the Core Formation Stage Fifth Level, no one at the Core Formation Stage would be a match for him.

At that time, his title would change.

He would change it to “Unrivaled below the Nascent Soul Stage. One-on-one with those at the Nascent Soul Stage and above.”

Other than the change in his elementary cultivation, Lu Yuan concluded that he had three positive transformations after his tribulation.

One was that his physical body had reached the True Martial Realm.

One was that his divine soul had also advanced by a level to reach the peak of the Emptiness Realm.

If he advanced further, his divine soul would be able to advance to the Real Realm, which was where an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would be at..
