The Battle Intent Furnace; Both Break Through
For the next three years, Yang Tiankang went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation and study the "Heaven's Will Sword Scripture". He did not send the various resources he obtained back to the Lineage immediately. Instead, he thought that after Yang Xuanwu and Yang Xuanye returned from the Four Symbols Secret Realm, they would use the Spiritvoid Pavilion's channels to transport the resources back to the Lineage together.
Yang Xuanwu also went into seclusion. He spent all the remaining hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones he had on him, purchasing a large number of special Cultivation Resources such as Talisman, incense, and Pills to enhance comprehension from the cultivation shops run by the Sea Abyss Sect.
With these resources to support him, Yang Xuanwu's self-created Battle Intent Furnace and his understanding of the Dao of Combat were progressing at an astonishing speed.
As for Yang Xuanye, he was busy cultivating while also managing various Lineage affairs.
He first used his Formation in formations to set up the Azure Wall Water Abyss Formation in the center of Coiled Snake Island, completely enveloping the five-hundred-foot-high mountain.
After that, Yang Xuanye began to use Lineage resources to purchase various resources to upgrade the Spirit Vein level. In three months, he upgraded the Coiled Snake Island Spirit Vein to the Third-Tier Lower-Grade.
After completing these tasks, Yang Xuanye immediately led his clansmen to the Falling Star Pavilion, the Sun Household, the Long Household, and the Qianyuan Sect. Because of the Star Lodge token left by Yang Tiankang, he received a warm welcome from these Four Great Powers. The subsequent cooperation negotiations naturally went very smoothly, and several business channels were established, greatly increasing the annual income of the Yang Household on Coiled Snake Island.
Once everything was on track, Yang Xuanye handed over the important matters to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from his Lineage and went into seclusion, striving to raise his Law Technique abilities to a higher level.
Spring comes and autumn goes, the sun rises and the moon sets, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a Dark Clouds suddenly appeared over Coiled Snake Island, with rolling Thunder and raging winds whipping up the grass and trees, and the sky darkening completely.
Yang Xuanwu stood on the Martial Practice Ground, a Third Tier Defensive Formation set up beneath his feet. He held a black Long Spear in his hand, tilted his head slightly, and calmly gazed at the endlessly winding lightning snakes in the sky above.
Above his head, a Golden Core gleaming with purple light was slowly being sent into his celestial spirit. The pill was first grade, and after seven more cycles, it finally became Seven-Pattern Purple Golden Core.
Boom! --
Thunder roared and crashed down, illuminating the dark world that had been obscured by Dark Clouds with its incandescent light.
Buzz!!
Formation swirled, a massive spirit tortoise floated above Yang Xuanwu's head. Profound Spirit Mark patterns flowed across its shell, directly deflecting the first Thunder.
After that, one bolt of Thunder after another struck down, but all of them were blocked by the Defensive Formation. Until the seventh Thunder ended, the Formation Disc was damaged, and Yang Xuanwu put it away.
Boom! --
The eighth bolt of Thunder was incredibly powerful. Yang Xuanwu gently raised his hand, and a small, earthen-yellow bell appeared before him.
The Law Power generated by the Seven-Pattern Purple Golden Core was extremely pure. After being poured into this defensive Law Treasure, its power was increased to twelve-tenths, directly blocking the eighth Thunder.
However, the small, earthen-yellow bell also dimmed in light and its power was greatly diminished by this blow.
Yang Xuanwu raised his hand and withdrew it.
With a detached glance at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky and the blue- Purple Thunderball at its center, Yang Xuanwu's mind stirred, and the dormant Battle Intent Furnace within his heart surged forth.
This furnace is entirely Scarlet Gold, within which the four elements of Earthfire, water, and wind intertwine and rise and fall.
At the very bottom, there was an extraordinary surge of Blood Qi, which formed the foundation that supported everything. Then, a flame formed from unparalleled battle intent quietly appeared.
With a whoosh, the blazing fire of the furnace rose up in the Battle Intent Furnace, and Yang Xuanwu's aura began to rise steadily until it reached the Middle Golden Core realm before stopping.
With Blood Qi and qi as its foundation, Law Power as its body, Divine Sense as its soul, and battle intent as its fire, it burns everything to generate terrifying power, doubling its own strength. This is the extraordinary power of Yang Xuanwu's self-created Divine Ability, "Battle Intent Furnace".
This Divine Ability is very similar to the "Vast Sea Threefold" Divine Ability that Yang Tianyou once saw in the Four Symbols Secret Realm, but after using it, there are no such serious aftereffects; one will only fall into a mild state of weakness.
As long as its fighting spirit remains undiminished, the furnace will never suffer a severe backlash.
Boom!!
Battle Intent Furnace surged above his head, and Yang Xuanwu's eyes blazed like two scorching suns. An exceptionally terrifying aura soared into the sky. Instead of retreating, he advanced, slightly bending his knees, and then, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, charged straight at the lightning bolts above.
Boom! --
The ninth Thunder struck down at that moment, but Yang Xuanwu merely raised his hand slightly, and a black Long Spear as thick as a goose egg instantly pierced out.
In an instant, the phantoms of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts coiled around the Long Spear, and unparalleled power erupted, colliding with the Blue-Purple Thunderbolt.
Boom...--
The violent shockwave swept across the boundless expanse, and the mighty, fierce winds swirled and roared, as if trying to tear down the Tribulation Clouds in the sky and pulverize them.
After a while, the aftershocks subsided, the Dark Clouds gradually parted, and golden sunlight shone down, enveloping Yang Xuanwu's body. He was unharmed, his fighting spirit surging.
At this moment, Yang Xuanwu was like Divine General descending to earth, exuding an extremely domineering and imposing aura.
A stream of Pale Azure Qi of Creation flowed down, a total of ninety-seven streams, and Yang Xuanwu opened his mouth slightly and swallowed them all.
"Congratulations, Xuanwu, on forming the Seven-Pattern Purple Golden Core! Your future is limitless!" Yang Tiankang flew over, his face filled with satisfaction and envy, and said loudly.
Yang Xuanwu's expression was solemn as he said, "Xuanwu's success today is entirely due to the Lineage's nurturing; otherwise, how could someone with Four Spirit Roots have broken through to the Golden Core at such a young age?"
Yang Tiankang said solemnly, "Yes, just remember that. We owe everything we have today to the Lineage's nurturing. We must repay the Lineage's kindness and virtue in the future."
Yang Xuanwu nodded firmly, then glanced at the Coiled Snake Island below and said softly, "I wonder how my eleventh brother's seclusion is going. When will he be able to break through to the Golden Core?"
"It won't be long. A month ago, I specifically sensed your auras and discovered that you would both definitely break through to the Golden Core stage within two months. Now you have already broken through, and Xuan Ye won't be far behind..."
Rumble...
No sooner had Yang Tiankang finished speaking than a rumble of thunder came from Yang Xuanye's secluded cultivation spot.
Then, a figure flew out of the Seclusion Chamber and stood on the Martial Practice Ground, with Tribulation Transcendence Formation already set up beneath his feet.
Yang Xuanye successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage, achieving a second-grade Golden Core, which was still a step below the First-Grade Purple Golden Core.
