Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Form Golden Core_1

Lu Yang has now entered a rather mysterious state, feeling that his perception of the outside world has dramatically decreased. He could only sense the attack from the Golden Core Stage being at hand, and the farther areas started to become blurry.

On the contrary, the mist in his Dantian was getting thinner. It seemed as though clearing the mist would reveal what was shimmering behind it.

A tiger-headed and three-bodied monster suddenly rushed at Lu Yang. This was a tiger monster that was accustomed to living in the water. At the late stage of the Golden Core, it could move temporarily on land. Herbal Celestial Grass brought it out from the lake specifically to hunt Lu Yang.

Lu Yang noticed the attack of the tiger monster and lightly breathed out a breath of Three Flavored True Fire, which clung to the Green Peak Sword.

The originally sharp Green Peak Sword, coupled with the Three Flavored True Fire, was even more powerful than before.

The tiger monster roared and charged at Lu Yang. Lu Yang twisted his wrist and lightly shouted, “Break”. The Green Peak Sword swiped through and the tiger monster’s head fell to Lu Yang’s feet, the severed area still giving off an enticing smell of barbecue.

This was the “Break Mantra,” the power of which was inferior to the “Break Mantra” that drained half of one’s spiritual essence, but it could be used continuously, the individual power being a bit stronger than the “Slice Mantra.”

Herbal Celestial Grass tried to control the corpse of the tiger monster to attack again, but Lu Yang had predicted it, urging the “Break” Mantra again and dismantling the tiger monster into pieces.

Another Demon Beast appeared at Lu Yang’s feet. It was smaller with three legs and shaped like a turtle, its mouth was full of sand, and it spewed it towards Lu Yang’s shadow.

It was a Kuo; it could kill enemies by shooting sand at their shadows.

Lu Yang always had his Spiritual Sense on, and he had noticed Kuo’s small movements. He fiercely pumped Sword Qi into the Green Peak Sword, and the Three Flavored True Fire on the sword surged, igniting a raging fire, which instantly changed Lu Yang’s shadow.

Lu Yang stabbed back and pierced through Kuo’s hard, dark green shell, killing it.

A Ba Snake and a Fat Ghost appeared on both sides of Lu Yang. Both were ancient monsters and had similar snake forms. They attacked together, aiming to entwine and strangle Lu Yang.

Lu Yang used Draw the Ground into a Prison to drag the Ba Snake underground, himself shrinking down as well. It wasn’t convenient to use the Green Peak Sword underground, so he covered his hands in True Fire and used Arhat Fist to attack. The fist marks were splendid, and the mud turned into burnt clay. The Ba Snake didn’t even have a chance to react before its Dantian was shattered by the Arhat Fist.

Lu Yang emerged from behind the Fat Ghost, swallowing a Great Recovery Pill to replenish spiritual essence while using the Green Peak Sword to split the Fat Ghost in two.

“I don’t believe this, that so many Golden Core Stage creatures can’t kill you! You’re just at the Foundation Establishment Stage, stop struggling and die!” Herbal Celestial Grass panicked and had to use loud words to cover up its trepidation.

Be it the Tiger Monster or the Ba Snake, these were its reserve servants with massive potential, second only to Lu Yang as nutrients. But now, they were killed by Lu Yang’s smooth and fluid moves.

It felt that Lu Yang was becoming stronger step by step, his control of power was becoming more proficient, his movements more nimble and continuous, his battle tactics more ingenious, and he could achieve victory with the smallest cost.

This change had to be stopped!

It shifted its focus from Fairy Eternity to Lu Yang, dispatching more monsters to besiege Lu Yang.

Fairy Eternity noticed Lu Yang’s change and a smile appeared involuntarily at the corner of her mouth.

More and more Demon Beasts were attacking Lu Yang, either being killed by him or having their Dantian shattered by the Arhat Fist.

Conversely, Lu Yang’s physical condition was getting worse. Continually using Mantras and the Arhat Fist, his spiritual essence was being depleted rapidly. No matter how much Great Recovery Pill he took, it still couldn’t catch up with the speed at which his spiritual essence was being depleted.

Moreover, several Golden Core Stage creatures severely wounded Lu Yang. His left arm was fractured, and there were several gashes on his abdomen and back, the deepest of which revealed white bone.

He was covered in blood and staggered as he walked.

At this rate, he would soon die from exhaustion, and Herbal Celestial Grass’s wish would be fulfilled.

That should have been good news, but Herbal Celestial Grass couldn’t bring itself to feel happy.

It noticed that while Lu Yang’s wounds were increasing, his eyes were as bright as the moon, exceptionally noticeable in the dark forest.

“What are you laughing at! What are you laughing at!” Herbal Celestial Grass roared, thinking Lu Yang was mocking it.

Yes, Lu Yang was laughing, and he was laughing very happily.

“Why can’t I laugh? A bunch of Golden Core Stage creatures swarm me, but they can’t even defeat me at just the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Shouldn’t I be happy?”

“Am I too strong, or are these Golden Core Stage individuals too weak?”

Lu Yang struggled towards the Herbal Celestial Grass, nearly tumbling several times due to his severe injuries. Even in such a state, he sent chills of fear through Herbal Celestial Grass.

Herbal Celestial Grass desperately ordered the Demon Beasts to attack Lu Yang, not caring about executing precise commands, insisting on crushing this Human race genius!

Lu Yang didn’t even have the strength to hold his sword, using his bare fists to fend off the encroaching Demon Beasts, squeezing out the very last of his strength.

At the same time, the fog in his dantian region was getting lighter.

Or rather, it was not that the dense fog was fading, but that it was being absorbed by the radiance behind it, causing the brilliance to become more substantial.

Lu Yang sensed the situation, figuring out the source of the fog: “Is it the battle experience accumulated from fighting against higher ranks in the dense forest?”

Lu Yang’s body was gradually changing – the wounds on his abdomen and back were healing slowly, his severed left arm miraculously grew back, his spirit, vigor, and essence converging like a blazing torch, burning fiercely with more fuel constantly being added, making the flame grow higher and higher.

The fog completely cleared, revealing the true nature of the glowing object – it was a plump, pill-like Golden Core.

This Golden Core was wonderfully extraordinary – its presence indicated dominance. Slightly spinning, it instantly swept away Lu Yang’s fatigue.

Lu Yang felt an endless stream of power surge out – this power was so immense, it was beyond what one at the Foundation Establishment stage could possess.

Under the rush of this power, the bottleneck at the Foundation Establishment stage was easily overcome.

Golden Core Stage!

“Yazui, kill it!”

A Demon Beast that stood out among its peers in the Golden Core stage, it was Yazui, a creature born from a dragon and a jackal, with a sword in its mouth, staring angrily at Lu Yang.

This great demon—a formidable threat in the dense forest—was comparable to Jiuying. But now, in front of Lu Yang, it was nothing.

Lu Yang stretched out his forefinger and middle finger. The joined fingers manifested an extremely sharp illusion of a sword.

“Go.”

The illusory sword swung down, then disappeared.

Yazui glared angrily at Lu Yang, a very subtle line of blood appeared on top of Yazui’s head extending down to its tail.

Lu Yang lightly blew a breath, Yazui was split in two, falling to both sides.

Just this sword illusion alone was more powerful than Lu Yang’s strongest word-breaking technique!

“You’ve broken through to the Golden Core stage!” Herbal Celestial Grass looked at Lu Yang incredulously. The previous shock was nothing compared to this. It had never heard of such a method of breakthrough before.

Lu Yang ignored Herbal Celestial Grass’s shock. It no longer posed a threat to him. He was studying the newly formed Golden Core.

“This Golden Core seems to have a lot of mysteries that I haven’t discovered yet. There’s no record of it in the ancient books. In other words, this Golden Core is unique, it needs a good name… I got it, I’ll call it the Primordial Qi Pill!”

Just as Lu Yang had settled on a name for the Golden Core, Fairy Eternity’s voice of surprise rang in his ear.

“Isn’t this my Invincible Elixir?!”

“Lu Yang, you’re a cunning one. You say one thing and mean another. You said you wouldn’t form my Golden Core, but you still think my Invincible Elixir is the most suitable for you!”

Fairy Eternity, having dealt with the Demon Beasts surrounding her, jabbed at Lu Yang with her elbow, winking and beaming at him.

Lu Yang: “…What the heck?!”
