Cultivators

Nine giant black basalt Giant Serpent swept across the area like mountains, quickly reaching countless lines of defense for the Alliance. The Correctors left behind to defend were utterly unable to restrain the nine Giant Serpent's movements.

"What do we do? Is everything sorted out in there? If not, I'm running!" one of the Correctors roared as he asked the other side.

They had been very careful in eliminating all the spies, but this time, in order to deal with the Daoist priests, they showed no mercy and killed a large number of people who might be spies of the Snake People, leaving the Snake People with a gap in their intelligence.

Without concrete intelligence, why would the Snake People be so decisive as to mobilize all their forces to attack this place? Currently, most of the Correctors' strength is in the distorted space, besieging the elite Daoist forces and those Zombie. The Snake People Correctors' weakness.

"No, their power is far greater than we imagined!" Another Correctors observed the interior of the distorted space, then turned and fled without hesitation. The fighting inside would continue for a long time; the battle within the distorted space was still raging, and closing that space wouldn't be easy. Simply put, humanity was destined to lose this war.

Since that's the case, why not run away? Soon, a large number of deserters appeared. The Snake People broke through the defensive line with almost no effort. Then, the nine Giant Snake adjusted their angles, surrounded the space you went to, and launched their attack at the same time, directly crashing into the distorted space.

The entire space trembled, and the expressions of the Correctors present changed drastically. They truly hadn't expected that the Snake People would choose this moment to launch a full-scale attack. Nine mountain-like Giant Snake crashed into the distorted space, their basalt scales shimmering with snake patterns, constantly disrupting the operation of the distorted space with each impact.

As the Giant Snake retreated once more, it crashed into the distorted space. The Correctors could see the outside world through their connection with the distorted power, but the Daoists and Zombie could not. So the attack never stopped. The Correctors understood that as long as someone could withstand the attacks of the Daoists Zombie and explain what was happening outside, the people present might still have a chance to survive if they worked together. However, that person was very likely to be killed by the combined fire of the Daoists and Zombie.

So none of these clever people stepped forward; they all bury their heads in the sand, waiting for others to take the lead, and just let the Snake People's nine Giant Snake crash into the distorted space.

Although the Daoist priest didn't understand what was going on, he continued fighting since no one on the other side stopped. They were already surrounded and besieged, so they dared not stop.

Han Mo's unease reached its peak. He and Nüba rushed into a half-ruined laboratory, where they saw Lin Luocheng holding a radiant spiritual root. In the blink of an eye, Lin Luocheng was about to attack.

"The spiritual energy is sufficient, its form and mind are naturally complete, the Yin demon gathers its energy and emerges, disturbing the mind..." An Lan squinted and chanted the incantation, causing Han Mo to slowly stop his actions. The Nüba on the side did the same, mainly because Lin Luocheng on the other side had not made a move either.

"I know all the incantations for advancing to the Golden Core stage!" An Lan said quickly when she saw that the other party hadn't made a move. "I can give you those, but the problem now isn't the incantations, it's the Snake People. The Snake People's army has already surrounded this distorted space and is about to attack. Giving you the incantations won't be of any use, so you should stop now and think of a way to survive the Snake People's encirclement."

Han Mo squinted, finally understanding the cause of his ominous premonitions. This time, humanity had truly lost. It was estimated that before long, the number of Snake People would increase rapidly and begin to sweep across the entire world. Humanity would probably only have a chance to survive by hiding in the deep mountains and forests.

"Give me the incantation first!" Han Mo said directly. No matter what, getting the incantation was the priority.

"Our only way to survive is to break through with a small, elite force," An Lan said with a smile. "I'm just a researcher; the incantation is my only value for survival. I'm sorry, sir, I can't easily pass on the incantation to you."

"However, I can guarantee that once we escape the Snake People's encirclement, I will definitely give you the incantation." An Lan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "From today onwards, the situation for humanity will become extremely dire. Humanity's only hope for turning things around lies in the advanced cultivators of the Daoist path. The more Golden Core cultivators there are, the better our future human life will be."

With a deafening roar, the distorted space was shattered, and a massive amount of distorting power unleashed a storm in this area, causing some casualties initially. Subsequently, a large number of Snake People troops engulfed the area, killing all those who were not Snake People.

A large number of originally high-ranking Correctors were overwhelmed and killed by the sheer number of Snake People. In addition, there were also powerful Snake People sleepers. Of the humans present, whether Correctors, Daoists, or even Zombie, less than one in ten managed to escape.

Thus, most of humanity's support forces were wiped out, and the Snake People gained a huge advantage in the war. Humanity could no longer organize any alliances, because those who survived were all intelligent people who could easily calculate that all of humanity's current fighting force combined could not defeat the Snake People.

Han Mo, Nüba, and the others managed to escape. An Lan kept her word and recounted all the information she had obtained from Lu Li's spiritual root.

The so-called Golden Core stage involves further refining all spiritual energy and Extraction all the distorted will within it. At this point, the distorted will will pollute the spirit and will, and all sorts of problems within the heart will be exposed under the power of the distorted will. These problems, combined with the distorted will, will form Yin Demon.

Only by overcoming the Yin Demon and sublimating one's spiritual will into the Metal element can one achieve the Golden Core. With the Metal element, one can mobilize those purified energies to form a perfectly round, self-sufficient structure.

From then on, this structure completely broke free from the framework of the twisting force and became another source of power. Its own metal element resided within this structure. As long as it had enough energy, it could survive outside the physical body. Furthermore, the Golden Core had extremely strong adaptability. From then on, it was no longer limited to the twisting force. It could absorb various forces to strengthen itself. In fact, if you could absorb the energy of a world, your Golden Core could become a world, provided that your metal element could keep up and sublimate into the will of the world.

It can be said that each Golden Core is a tiny world. However, to form Golden Core, one must first face the Yin Demon, and secondly, the Twisted Root will sense that a thief has stolen its power and will unleash various heavenly tribulations formed by distorted forces.

Before the Golden Core is formed, those spiritual energies are merely variants of the twisted power, and are actually still under the control of the Twisted Root. Once the Golden Core is formed, the will within it is integrated into the Yin Demon and completely expelled, and is then completely swallowed by the Golden Core.

In the future, every cultivator will be a great thief, stealing everything to perfect their own Golden Core.

There will be another chapter later.
