It's Perfectly Normal for Me to Produce a Golden Core Every Time I Break Through!

Rumble...

Within the Taixu Forbidden Land, violent energy fluctuations spread out once more. This time, they were far more terrifying than before.

The Spiritual Dragon, which had been preparing to go back to sleep now that Li Tianwei had stopped causing trouble and left, sensed this terrifying energy and shuddered. It immediately flipped itself upright, craning its head toward the distance. A familiar aura, familiar fluctuations.

"Why is it happening again...?"

Seeing this, the Spiritual Dragon wore a defeated expression. It lay there limply, its dragon body looking as weak and boneless as an earthworm.

It was no wonder the Spiritual Dragon was like this. After all, it had slept for tens of thousands of years. It was perfectly normal for the times to have changed.

"Forget it. Whether the Taixu Forbidden Land is destroyed or not has nothing to do with me."

The Spiritual Dragon flopped back down, utterly listless, as though it had been thoroughly played to ruin. Perhaps, in its eyes right now, even the destruction of the world was only a minor matter.

Meanwhile, Li Tianwei, who was condensing a Golden Core to attain the Fruit of Enlightenment, had no idea what his current breakthrough looked like in the eyes of other beings.

At this moment, he only wanted to condense the strongest possible Golden Core—a Golden Core capable of containing Fusion Power.

Thus, he needed an environment like that of a star. Pressure, temperature, and mass all had to be pushed to greater heights.

With his previous experience, Li Tianwei had already made his calculations.

Relying on accumulated energy would take a long time, but the Li Tianwei of today was no longer the Li Tianwei of before.

Just as yesterday's self was not today's self.

Having purified so many Immortal Souls, Li Tianwei had condensed a hundred Dao Intentions from their distracting thoughts.

It was not merely an increase in strength, but also an improvement in his understanding and control of energy.

As for some Golden Core Fruit of Enlightenment, it was merely a basic definition. Since it existed, what was wrong with attaining it?

To Li Tianwei, any Golden Core was merely a process—a process of operation.

Once he thought of it that way, the Fruit of Enlightenment attained through a Golden Core seemed somewhat lacking. As a protagonist, he naturally had to create a Golden Core unlike any other.

The Fruit of Enlightenment did indeed seem like opening up one's own path, but if his fusion stellar Golden Core was merely that, it would seem rather pathetic.

What did it mean to walk one's own path? His Golden Core had to be unique. It had to be a path he himself had walked.

But that still was not special enough. If he was doing this, he had to make it even bigger.

Thus, Li Tianwei came up with an excellent plan: directly inscribe the Dao Intentions he had comprehended onto the Golden Core. One hundred Dao Intentions meant one hundred inscriptions.

When he unleashed the Golden Core, it would not only possess the might of a star, but also the pressure of a hundred Dao Intentions, crushing others through sheer force.

Tell him, then—which was stronger, such a Golden Core or one that had attained the Fruit of Enlightenment?

When it came to execution, Li Tianwei dared claim first place. The instant he thought of it, he began acting.

At this moment, Li Tianwei once again displayed his ability to multitask, controlling fusion on one side while breaking through to the Golden Core Realm on the other.

The chaotic energy of the Taixu Forbidden Land erupted violently under Li Tianwei's control, its activity surpassing anything before.

There was no need to mention the berserk power. This activity was precisely what Li Tianwei wanted. He needed the energies to continuously generate kinetic force; the more violent, the better, so they would gather together.

During the process of their convergence, even more immense energy would be generated.

The nearly infinite energy produced by fusion was guided into Li Tianwei's body without hesitation.

At the same time, he gathered his essence, qi, and spirit. Reaching the Golden Core Realm was as natural as water flowing into a channel for Li Tianwei, but the Golden Core he condensed had to be powerful enough.

Rumble...

"Sacrifice Dao Undying Body."

"Amplify for me..."

Ling Tianwei immediately began using all kinds of methods to increase his cultivation, raising his own power.

By relying on normal cultivation methods, he refined pseudo-cores. Different methods refined different Golden Cores.

He had to give the Golden Core the pressure, mass, and temperature of a star.

The simplest method Ling Tianwei could think of was compression—unceasing compression.

He fused and compressed the condensed pseudo-cores to the absolute limit, continuously drawing in external Fusion Power.

Rumble...

Fortunately, with the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body, Ling Tianwei had also collected quite a few methods capable of increasing cultivation through various means.

One strange Golden Core after another continuously appeared within Ling Tianwei's body.

In short, every time one method increased his cultivation and broke him through to the Golden Core Realm, Ling Tianwei would refine a Golden Core within his body, then return to the Foundation Establishment Realm and repeat the process.

"It's perfectly normal to condense a Golden Core every time I break through."

To Ling Tianwei, this behavior was entirely in line with the law of conservation of energy. It was merely an exchange between different forms of power.

Ling Tianwei did not know how many times he repeated this process, until he could only sense chaos within himself and refining more Golden Cores no longer had any effect.

Then, Ling Tianwei began compressing them. Compressing them without end.

A hundred Dao Intentions emerged at this moment.

"Slaughter, death, evil, resentment, extremity, joy, purity, earth, sorrow, severance, massacre, Five Elements, Five Transformations."

The hundred Dao Intentions circled around him, thoroughly compressing the Golden Cores that had grown to their limit.

At this moment, the Golden Cores like a vast sea of stars entered a state of collapse under Ling Tianwei's control, energy pouring inward.

Just as Ling Tianwei had said before, the realm increases he unleashed with secret arts were genuine increases. Otherwise, where would all these Golden Cores have come from?

The sea of stars compressed, chaos entered within. Ling Tianwei continuously absorbed and compressed.

Fusion Golden Core, Hundred Intentions Ring Patterns—this was the Golden Core Great Dao Ling Tianwei envisioned.

As Ling Tianwei compressed and fused, violet lightning coiled around his body, and violent energy fluctuations continuously spread throughout the Taixu Forbidden Land.

The Taixu Forbidden Land contained abundant yet unstable energy, giving him the environment needed for fusion. Because it was uncontrollable, it produced chain reactions that continuously expanded.

Otherwise, with Ling Tianwei's strength, he could not have affected the Taixu Forbidden Land. Now, he had already linked himself to this state of fusion.

The Golden Core was also slowly taking shape. Ordinarily, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm would inevitably draw down a heavenly tribulation, but due to the restrictions of the Taixu Forbidden Land, no heavenly tribulation descended.

Twisted fusion energy continuously combined, and a storm sweeping across the entire Taixu Forbidden Land thoroughly unfolded.

Rumble...

One bizarre phenomenon after another appeared within the Taixu Forbidden Land. Dao Intentions swirled as utterly restless energy pierced through the forbidden land.

Power surged back and poured onto Ling Tianwei. He transformed into a funnel, absorbing every bit of it.

Ling Tianwei was someone who valued food. He made sure not a single bit was wasted, squeezing everything completely dry.

Before the Golden Core transformed into a star and achieved limitless fusion, it still required an enormous amount of energy. Once the Golden Core was complete, it would no longer need it.

"Gather..."

Ling Tianwei formed a hand seal and abruptly opened his eyes. A thread of golden light flashed out.

In an instant, the entire area froze. Time, space, everything came to a halt.

The space around Ling Tianwei seemed to twist, as though it had collapsed inward.

This sight was likely distortion caused by absolute mass.
