Golden Core Formed, Overwhelming Pressure

"The aura of Heavenly Tribulation... Is someone undergoing Tribulation Transcendence?"

The Senior Brother were both taken aback.

They had just been discussing the powerful beings that might exist in this world, and now they were already sensing the aura of Heavenly Tribulation.

"Judging from the intensity of this Tribulation Qi, it should be the Golden Core Tribulation."

It seems there's a cultivator over there undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, preparing to achieve the Golden Core stage.

After a moment's observation, the Gray Robe Man understood.

"The Golden Core Tribulation, it seems that the person Tribulation Transcendence has quite good cultivation talent. This Small World has only been revived for a short time, and he has already achieved the Golden Core."

"Every world has its share of exceptionally talented individuals, and this is true even in Small World. It seems that the person Tribulation Transcendence is the chosen one of this Small World."

Of course, it could also be an old relic that has accumulated over many years, waiting for the world to recover.

"Senior Brother... shall we go take a look?" The White Robe Youth looked at the Gray Robe Man.

"That's fine, perhaps we can get information about this Small World."

The Gray Robe Man did not refuse and nodded.

"If he is truly a talented genius, perhaps we can take him in as a servant, or perhaps capture him and sell him to other sects; that would be a good source of income," the White Robe Youth chuckled.

The Gray Robe Man said nothing more, but activated his magic power, Void Ark immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying rapidly towards the direction from which the Tribulation Qi was coming from.

The Holy Mountain, the Second Holy Master, and the Third Holy Master all looked worried.

"There have already been five Tribulation Lightning, and the Tribulation Cloud still haven't dissipated. Could there be a sixth one?"

The Second Holy Master looked worried.

"Without a doubt!"

The Third Holy Master looked at the lightning that had begun to gather in the sky, and his expression was also somewhat unpleasant.

"But my older brother is almost at his limit."

The Second Holy Master turned his gaze to the First Holy Master beneath the Tribulation Cloud. His body was charred black, his robes, made of precious materials, were tattered and torn, and his aura was weak. He was in a sorry state.

"At this point, there's nothing we can do now except trust our eldest brother. Besides, judging from his condition, he doesn't seem helpless."

The Third Holy Master firmly stated.

Beneath the Tribulation Cloud, the First Holy Master, who was being worried about by his brothers, now had bright eyes.

He looked at the lightning gathering again in the sky above him, feeling no fear, but rather joy.

The more Tribulation Lightning that descends from the Tribulation Cloud, the deeper his accumulation of power.

As long as he can successfully Tribulation Transcendence, the path ahead will be smooth sailing for cultivation! "Come on, I want to see just how deep my potential really is!"

The First Holy Master's body, absorbing the surging Vitality Qi around him, gazed steadfastly at the Tribulation Cloud flashing with bright lightning.

Boom!

As if it had heard the words of the First Holy Master, the Tribulation Cloud, which had already gathered to their limit, struck down with another bolt of Tribulation Lightning.

This sixth Tribulation Lightning was much thicker than the previous Tribulation Lightning.

The power it emitted made the Second and Third Holy Master, who were not far away, feel suffocated.

"Good timing!"

Facing the Tribulation Lightning, the First Holy Master's eyes grew even brighter. He made Magic Art, and a huge Earth Dragon once again emerged from the ground to meet the Tribulation Lightning.

The Earth Dragon that the First Holy Master conjured this time was much larger than the previous ones.

Even the details have become much more vivid, with the scales clearly visible and the eyes seemingly sparkling.

Clearly, after being baptized by the previous five Tribulation Lightning and absorbing a large amount of Vitality Qi, the First Holy Master was also undergoing a transformation, becoming more adept at using his own spells.

However, the Earth Dragon, whose power had been significantly enhanced, was shattered after being struck by the sixth bolt of Tribulation Lightning.

The Tribulation Lightning itself did not lose much power and continued to bombard the First Holy Master with its destructive force.

Just as he was about to cleave the First Holy Master into ashes, a thick, earth-yellow light shield emerged from his body, enveloping his entire form.

Boom! The Tribulation Lightning struck the earth-yellow light barrier solidly, and in an instant, a huge amount of lightning scattered and spread, completely covering an area of a hundred feet in radius.

"Big brother!"

The second and Third Holy Master couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The dazzling lightning, coupled with the destructive aura of the Tribulation Lightning, made them dare not unleash their Divine Soul Power.

Therefore, neither of them could be sure what was going on inside.

After more than ten breaths, the lightning dissipated, revealing a scene of utter devastation to the two of them.

The ground was covered with scorched black mud, pitted and uneven, with not a single good spot in sight.

However, neither of them had time to pay attention to these things; their immediate focus was on the figure in the center of the scorched earth.

"Big brother!"

Seeing the First Holy Master lying on the ground, charred like a piece of charcoal, barely breathing, the Second Holy Master, the Third Holy Master cried out in alarm once more.

At the same time, I felt a sense of panic.

Could it be that my brother failed his Tribulation Transcendence and didn't make it through?

The two were tormented, yet they still dared not rush forward, fearing it would affect their elder brother's Tribulation Transcendence.

With the Tribulation Cloud still present, they could only wait anxiously in place.

Fortunately, after a few more breaths, the First Holy Master, who was as red as charcoal, suddenly moved, his aura gradually returned, and then he suddenly sat up.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

The second and Third Holy Master were overjoyed.

"He won't die for now," the First Holy Master replied.

He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a yellowish-brown pearl that had been shattered into several pieces.

"I never expected that even Superior Treasure Artifact couldn't withstand the power of the Heavenly Tribulation." A trace of heartache appeared in the eyes of the First Holy Master.

This precious pearl is his most powerful defensive magic weapon, and its attributes are extremely compatible with his cultivation technique.

Unexpectedly, it has now been destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, he also couldn't withstand the Tribulation Lightning with this precious pearl.

Thinking of the power of the Tribulation Lightning he had just felt, the First Holy Master felt a sense of relief.

Although he was mentally prepared, when he actually faced the sixth Tribulation Lightning, he realized that he had greatly underestimated the Golden Core Tribulation.

The power of this sixth Tribulation Lightning far exceeded his imagination.

If it weren't for this superior defensive artifact that he had nurtured for hundreds of years, he would probably have been reduced to ashes and completely perished under the Tribulation Lightning.

However, with the precious pearl destroyed, his strongest trump card has been used up.

If the Heavenly Tribulation has not yet begun, then he will have failed this Tribulation Transcendence.

The First Holy Master stared intently at the Tribulation Cloud above his head. If more lightning gathered, he would probably have to resort to his last resort, risking his physical body to save his life.

The second and Third Holy Master were also staring at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky.

The sixth Tribulation Lightning had already destroyed the elder brother's Earth Essence Treasure Pearl. If there is a seventh, the elder brother may not be able to survive.

Fortunately, under the watchful eyes of the three, the Tribulation Cloud in the sky flickered for a while, but ultimately failed to condense into a seventh Tribulation Lightning, and began to wriggle and gradually dissipate.

"The Tribulation Cloud have dispersed?"

The three of them were stunned at first as they watched the Tribulation Cloud gradually dissipate, and then they were overjoyed.

"Big Brother successfully Tribulation Transcendence?"

"The Tribulation Cloud have dissipated, and no more Tribulation Lightning has descended. That means the Tribulation Transcendence. Next, Big Brother will condense his Golden Core!" the Third Holy Master affirmed.

Just as he had said, as the Tribulation Cloud gradually dissipated, a ray of light containing the aura of the Heavenly Dao descended from the sky, enveloping the First Holy Master within it.

A large amount of Vitality Qi appeared out of nowhere, nourishing and repairing his body.

At the same time, the First Holy Master also had various realizations.

He had a sudden inspiration and immediately sat down cross-legged, activating all his Spiritual Power. Following his inner understanding, he integrated the "immortal" rule contained in the light into his own Spiritual Power.

As the cultivation technique circulated, gradually, a perfect and majestic aura emerged from the First Holy Master.

The scorch marks on his body caused by the Thunder Tribulation gradually turned into dead skin and peeled off, revealing new skin as white as jade.

Finally, when the First Holy Master opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the expectant look in the eyes of his two sworn brothers.

"Big brother, did you successfully break through?"

Upon seeing his elder brother awaken, the Second Holy Master quickly inquired.

"Not bad, you've finally condensed Golden Core and transformed into magical power." The First Holy Master nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations, elder brother, you have successfully Tribulation Transcendence and entered the Golden Core Realm!"

The Second Holy Master was overjoyed and immediately offered his congratulations.

"This Golden Core Tribulation is truly terrifying. Even with your accumulated strength, Brother, you almost couldn't overcome it," the Third Holy Master said with lingering fear.

"Yes," the First Holy Master sighed. "I thought that with my thousand years of cultivation, Tribulation Transcendence wouldn't be too difficult, but I was too confident."

No wonder ancient texts record that even in the Ancient Cultivation Era, the success rate for Foundation Establishment Stage who wanted to Tribulation Transcendence and form their core was only one or two out of ten.

If the First Holy Master was full of confidence before undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence...

Now that he has successfully formed his core, he feels a sense of lingering fear.

The path of cultivation, defying the heavens, is indeed fraught with difficulties and dangers.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't accidentally obtained a Superior Treasure Artifact protective magic bead while traveling the world in his early years using Puppet Avatar, he probably would have perished under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Fortunately, although the process was dangerous, the result was good.

He eventually survived the Heavenly Tribulation and achieved the Golden Core.

Feeling the Mana Golden Core within his body, which was filled with the meaning of harmony, the First Holy Master felt a surge of pride.

"Brother, you should be the first cultivator in the world to step into the Golden Core Realm. Now, even those old guys from the Four Great Secret Realms will have to fall behind you!" said the Third Holy Master.

"Indeed, the Four Great Secret Realms, relying on their long-standing traditions, have never taken our Holy Mountain seriously."

"This time, you, eldest brother, are the first to achieve the Golden Core. Let's see what they have to say then!" the Second Holy Master said in return.

"That's not how it should be said." The First Holy Master shook his head. "In the path of cultivation, how can one fight for a moment's pride?"

I am merely taking the lead; the fellow cultivators in the Four Great Secret Realms have accumulated far more knowledge and experience than I have.

However, they are hiding in a secret place, and their foundation is flawed, so they need to spend time to repair it, which is why they are a step behind me.

Once they've fully restored their foundations and returned to their peak, their Tribulation Transcendence will likely be much easier for them than for me.

"That may be true, but it is a fact that you are now the first Golden Core Realm cultivator in the world."

No matter how profound the foundations of those Four Great Secret Realms are, they are still ultimately inferior to you, elder brother.

As soon as the Second Holy Master finished speaking, a faint voice suddenly rang out from the sky:

"Is that so? In this Small World, you are the only one who has just advanced to the Golden Core Realm?"

"Who?!"

"Who goes there?!"

The sudden sound startled the three holy lords.

They all looked up at the sky, and their pupils immediately contracted.

Because they saw two figures standing in the sky, seemingly out of thin air.

The robes were one white and one gray, with secret patterns appearing on them, making them look mysterious and enigmatic.

Upon seeing the two figures, all three were greatly shocked.

With their cultivation levels, they didn't even notice someone getting so close.

More importantly, the two figures in the sky could stand in mid-air without the aid of magical treasures or Artifact.

This ability is definitely not something Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could possess.

The First Holy Master was even more shocked.

Because he discovered that, having just survived the Heavenly Tribulation and condensed Mana Golden Core, he could not discern the true nature of the two figures in the sky at all.

In his perception, the aura emanating from those two people was like an abyss, completely unpredictable.

But a strong sense of danger arose in his heart, telling him how terrifying the two people in the sky were.

In an instant, the First Holy Master knew that these two who had suddenly appeared must be incredibly powerful figures.

His mind raced, though he had no idea where these two mysterious and powerful figures who had suddenly appeared came from.

A humble smile quickly appeared on his face, "Greetings, seniors."

"Senior?"

The second and Third Holy Master were taken aback at first by their elder brother's respectful attitude, but they quickly recovered.

Suppressing his shock, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, seniors."

However, the three men's humble attitude did not change the expression of the Gray Robe Man and his fellow Senior Brother in the slightest.

The White Robe Youth sized up the three holy lords below, and his gaze instantly gave them a chilling feeling that he had seen right through them.

Soon, the White Robe Youth's face showed disappointment. "I thought I was really lucky and could capture a few native geniuses, but it turns out they are three old guys who have worked their way up through age."

"And you too." The White Robe Youth's gaze fell on the First Holy Master, making him feel increasingly pressured. "Although you were fortunate enough to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and successfully form your Golden Core, it's only a low-grade Low Grade Golden Core with limited potential. You're a piece of trash!"

The three holy masters sensed the disdain in the White Robe Youth's tone and were all easily angered.

But what surprised them even more was what the other party said.

The other party could see through their background at a glance, and didn't even take their eldest brother, who had just entered the Golden Core Realm, seriously.

His own cultivation level must be extremely high.

The unfamiliar terms, such as "capturing native geniuses" and "Low Grade Golden Core," immediately gave the three of them a very bad feeling.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?"

The White Robe Youth looked at his Senior Brother beside him.

"Judging from their status, they seem to be of high rank, and must hold an extraordinary position in this world."

Let's capture them first and find out what's going on in this world.

The Gray Robe Man said calmly.

"Good!"

The White Robe Youth responded and then pressed his palm down.

The next moment, a scene that shocked the three Holy Lords unfolded.

Suddenly, a gigantic hand, large enough to blot out the sky, appeared and reached out to grab the three of them!
