Golden Core Dao Intent

Hundred Intentions manifested at that moment. After pausing for an instant, the violent energy within the Taixu Forbidden Land surged as one toward Li Tianwei.

The speed of the influx was too fast, and Li Tianwei's figure was swallowed from view.

A massive vortex surrounded him as power desperately poured into him. Energy that could have torn a Golden Core Realm cultivator apart countless times failed to harm Li Tianwei's body in the slightest.

At the same time, within Li Tianwei's consciousness, the mottled chaos at his Spiritual Platform condensed into a sea of stars, and a faint clear radiance swept across it.

Before long, boundless energy gathered, as though the scene of heaven and earth opening was emerging within his Spiritual Platform.

Very quickly, the ultimate brilliance melted away, and a perfectly round Golden Core appeared above the Spiritual Platform.

Within the round Golden Core, a nebula continuously revolved. Its pressure and energy seemed to carry an inexhaustible quality.

The appearance of this Fusion Golden Core also meant that Li Tianwei had broken through Foundation Establishment and successfully entered the Golden Core Realm.

A single Golden Core swallowed into the belly—my fate was mine to command, not Heaven's.

But this had nothing to do with the Golden Core. Li Tianwei felt that he had been beyond Heaven's control since birth. One Golden Core represented nothing; even without the Golden Core Realm, he would not be ruled by Heaven.

Since he was already beyond Heaven's control, a Fusion Golden Core was clearly not enough. He still had to engrave the hundred Dao intents onto the Golden Core.

Only by combining the power of fusion with the Dao intents of this world would it suit his identity.

Li Tianwei thought so matter-of-factly. Then, as he looked at the Golden Core covered in nebulae, he began displaying his Dao intents.

In an instant, a hundred Dao intents emerged and shot straight toward the Golden Core.

Under that power, another aura visibly began appearing on the Golden Core, in addition to fusion's pure and infinite power.

"Kill..."

As Killing Intent merged into it and was engraved upon it, a bloody aura seeped continuously from the Golden Core that had originally been shrouded in nebulae, as though it were bleeding.

"Death..."

Another Dao intent fused into it, and an air of death, destruction, and endings appeared upon the Golden Core.

Then came resentment, evil...

An eerie, aberrant, twisted, malformed aura continuously surged from the Golden Core. A sinister feeling radiated outward, seeming capable of piercing through and destroying everything.

Such a qualitative change had already occurred after merely dozens of Dao intents fused into it, proving that his idea was not wrong.

"I can add more."

Li Tianwei continued merging Dao intents into it.

"Life, purity, clarity, joy..."

Completely different from the utterly evil and venomous Dao intents before, Li Tianwei did not care what would happen when these Dao intents met. He continued engraving them onto the Golden Core.

Very quickly, lines of varying forms, composed of all kinds of different powers, appeared upon the Golden Core.

Purity was engraved beside evil, life beside death. Mutual generation and mutual restraint—so long as it fit, that was enough. Li Tianwei had never cared about such things.

Life accompanied death. Wasn't that how it should be? Opposites and two sides could coexist as well.

Others might not see through it, but could it be that I myself could not?

With a single glance, Li Tianwei saw that all Hundred Intentions had been engraved upon the Golden Core.

Upon the Golden Core where nebulae drifted, after these Dao intents were engraved into it, Starlight Flicker shone, as though it had come alive at this moment.

It continuously gave off radiance. Within the dense righteous aura, specks of black-purple light shone like merit shrouding it, while on the other side, Evil Nature manifested, with a trace of clear light within it, as though evil had reached its extreme.

The two strange forces overlapped and fused together. Just as Li Tianwei had thought, there was no problem at all. How could there possibly be a problem?

As the hundred Dao intents were engraved upon it, it meant that the Fusion Golden Core and the Dao intents had completely merged with one another.

Looking at the Golden Core that radiated a pure aura and boundless power, Li Tianwei knew that he had succeeded, successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

Li Tianwei let out a long breath and opened his eyes. At this moment, his aura had become deep and surging.

Foundation Establishment to Golden Core was already a complete transformation, not to mention the Hundred Intentions fused into the Golden Core.

With the fusion state within the Golden Core, Li Tianwei felt that even if he manipulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he could unleash terrifying power.

Although Li Tianwei had not used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cast spells or Divine Abilities until now, relying entirely on his Sacrificial Dao Undying Body to drain himself dry in battle.

Now that he possessed a Golden Core, he could squeeze out even greater power.

"I've reached Golden Core. Next, I should prepare for Nascent Soul."

Li Tianwei thought truthfully.

"The Golden Core is complete, and with a hundred Dao intents within me, it is time to properly redeem those Immortal Souls."

"My speed wasn't fast enough back when I was at Foundation Establishment. Now, it's different."

"I imagine those Immortal Souls are still waiting for me!"

As Li Tianwei sighed, he simultaneously propelled himself with power, streaking across the sky toward the depths of the Taixu Forbidden Land.

"It's finally over."

The Spiritual Dragon hidden in the shadows watched Li Tianwei depart and finally let out a breath of relief.

Although it had thought that if the Taixu Forbidden Land was destroyed, then so be it, its body had honestly still come over to Li Tianwei's side.

In the Spiritual Dragon's eyes, every one of Li Tianwei's methods had been aimed at destroying the Taixu Forbidden Land.

It had been prepared to die, only to watch helplessly as Li Tianwei absorbed into his own body the power it believed would affect the entire Taixu Forbidden Land.

Then it saw Li Tianwei enter a state of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

"Alas, it was only a Golden Core breakthrough, yet he made such a huge commotion."

The Spiritual Dragon finally relaxed. It had never expected a mere Golden Core breakthrough to be so terrifying. If it came to Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, or even ascension to immortality in the future, how terrifying would that be?

By then, where would there still be a place for him to break through? The Taixu Forbidden Land was already brimming with power, yet he had drained so much of it.

It would likely take some time to recover.

"There probably aren't any Evil Demons outside. Once the agreed time arrives, I'll leave."

After seeing Li Tianwei, the Spiritual Dragon had gained some understanding of the outside world.

Even someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm was already like this. It could be determined that the Evil Demons outside had likely not succeeded.

Otherwise, such a powerful cultivator could not possibly exist.

"Sleep. When I wake up, everything will return to how it was before."

The Spiritual Dragon shut its eyes directly within the Taixu Forbidden Land.

As for Li Tianwei, wielding the Sacred Soul Banner and backed by his current Golden Core Realm strength, he continuously absorbed the energy within the Taixu Forbidden Land until the Sacred Soul Banner was completely replenished.

Then he redeemed several more Immortal Souls.

This forbidden land, this terrifying place in the eyes of Lingxu Sacred Land's many experts, had already become Li Tianwei's backyard through his actions, free for him to manipulate and control as he pleased.

One wondered what they would think if they learned of Li Tianwei's deeds.
