Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon, Finally Achieving the Golden Core
On the vast Hidden Azure Island, the sky was dark, and the roars of beasts echoed through the clouds.
Large boulders began to fall from the cave abode on the mountain peaks, Ye Xuecang's lips were pale, his face full of bitterness.
His golden core had shattered, and his True Essence had scattered to the ground.
He failed, just like his father had failed.
The same experience, just in different places.
The Ye Family has already sacrificed far too much for them, father and son.
His Divine Sense landed on the island outside, where the enormous Demon King and countless powerful demons were rushing onto the island.
Unlike last time, this time, the Ye Family didn't even have Earth Dragon Demon King.
It was a complete massacre and crushing.
His father activated Secret Method, and at this moment he was barely able to hold off the Sea-Overturning Demon King.
"All the older cultivators will stay behind to cover the retreat, while the younger members of the clan will depart first!"
These were the same words from years ago, only the elder who uttered those words had been completely lost in the Taihang Mountain Range thirty years ago.
This time, it was his father, Ye Shengyi, who called out.
He felt his physical body beginning to collapse. The aftereffects of failing to break through to the Golden Core stage were severe. Because to condense the core, one had to gather the Purple Mansion to its limit. If the core didn't form, it would be extremely difficult to gather the core again.
Moreover, even if one successfully gathers the essence of the cultivation, their cultivation level will be greatly reduced.
His father was in the same situation back then; it took him many years to barely recover, but he never had the chance to break through to the Golden Core stage again.
"Xuecang, come on, you still have a chance!!" Ye Shengyi's voice rang out.
These words instantly stung Ye Xuecang.
He felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Walk?
He left as a junior back then, and now he's leaving as an elder?
He took out the token and sent a telepathic message to Ye Jingcheng, giving him instructions for his final affairs.
"Father, I'm not leaving!" Ye Xuecang shook his head.
The Lineage has new hope. Purple Mansion is sixty years old, is the most likely member of the family to reunite the Lineage in glory.
What they need is to preserve the Lineage's strength as much as possible and leave Ye Jingcheng as much of his legacy as possible.
He's a complete failure; what face does he have to leave?
However, what puzzled Ye Xuecang was that the Lineage Token was somewhat unusual.
He began to activate the Beast-Link Mark to directly draw power, but the next moment he discovered that the power coming from the Beast-Link Mark was extremely scarce.
Moreover, his pain had intensified.
The intense pain also brought him back to some clarity.
He remembered that before this, the Lineage had set up Demon-Luring Grand Formation and Fourth Stage Demon-Luring Grass.
The Demon King of the Sea-Overturning Demon King was still weakened by Qi and Blood, and had been injured...
"Is it still an illusion?" Ye Xuecang suddenly wondered.
Then came a bitter taste.
He knew he was being somewhat obsessed, perhaps because the entire Lineage was placing their hopes on him.
This had already made him quite agitated.
"Disperse. Whether our Ye Family breaks through to a higher level or not, we will have successors!"
"However, I also have my reasons for breaking through today!"
Ye Xuecang calmly spoke, controlling the Spiritual Qi within his body to continue condensing towards the Golden Core!
As he focused his gaze, the illusion before him finally vanished once more.
A nascent golden core also appeared within his body, and the effect of Gold Condensation Pill completely disappeared.
His back was still damp with cold sweat; the Heart Demon Tribulation he had been to were truly terrifying.
If it weren't for the Gold Condensation Pill and his eventual connection to Ye Jingcheng, he might have followed in his father's footsteps.
However, at this moment, the True Essence within his body became more condensed, completely different from that in the Purple Mansion.
The surging True Essence made his aura stronger than ever before.
He was finally able to catch a glimpse of the surrounding islands.
It is also the Profound Origin Waterwood Grand Array.
Ye Xuefan and Ye Shengyi single-handedly fought against four powerful demons!
Ye Shengyi, his entire body glowing with blood-red light, clearly had taken some kind of elixir. He single-handedly held off a Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon and an Azure Light Sparrow Demon.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon was at the peak of the late stage of the third rank, and the Azure Light Sparrow Demon was also at the late stage of the third rank, while Ye Shengyi was actually already in his twilight years.
Even with the strength of a late-stage Purple Mansion, he could only exert half of his power at this moment. Fortunately, there was also a mid-stage third-tier Manflame Green Ox that could share the burden.
This Green Ox also pushed its limits, burning into a crimson fire ox, with flames scorching for dozens of miles and countless plumes of steam rising into the air.
However, with the Azure Light Sparrow constantly flitting past, the creature was completely exhausted and unable to inflict any effective damage on the Azure Light Sparrow.
On the other side, Ye Xuefan controlled the Array, blocking one Ghost-Faced Shark and two Sword-Toothed Shark Demons.
The three great demons, working together, stirred up a tsunami tens of meters high, which took turns crashing down on the island.
The surging waves crashed against the spiritual shield of the Profound Origin Waterwood Grand Array, instantly creating a deafening roar.
Fortunately, Ye Xuefan continued to use a Breakaway Spear Law Treasure to force the three demonic sharks to attack together.
Especially the Ghost-Faced Shark in the late third stage.
Many of the Ye Family's Foundation Establishment were currently attacking some early-stage Purple Mansion Great Demons, not because they were arrogant, but because they had no other choice.
Disadvantages were inevitable, but no one backed down.
Just then, on the mountain peak, Ye Xuecang core finally reached its peak. The brilliant golden light, just like a completed pill, emitted a unique spiritual fragrance.
He felt as if his Divine Soul had crossed into a new realm, a feeling of ethereal bliss that he had never experienced before.
As the torrent of Divine Sense spread out, the aura of the golden core also rippled outwards.
"Golden Core Formed!"
Ye Xuecang wanted to take a single step.
But above his head, a Lei Yun had fully formed.
Lei Yun rolled and churned, covering most of the Seaheart Island.
This caused Ye Xuecang's expression to change drastically. The Lightning Tribulation could not be conducted within the range of other Spirit Beast and cultivators, otherwise it would increase the power of the Lightning Tribulation.
Even though Ye Xuecang's heart was bleeding with pain, he could only be held back by reason.
He cannot move; he must break through this Lightning Tribulation and overturn the heavens!
From this day forward, the Ye Family will no longer be just a Purple Mansion Lineage!
This is his mission.
He soared into the sky, striving to fly higher, wanting all members of the Ye Family to witness it together.
Their efforts were not in vain.
He circulated his True Essence, forming a robe of True Essence, and four spiritual swords appeared in his hands.
All four spirit swords are Earth Attribute spirit swords.
The Lightning Tribulation differs from the Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation, having many variations and intricacies.
The Lightning Tribulation is simple and brutal: low-grade Golden Core takes one Lightning Tribulation, mid-grade Golden Core takes two Lightning Tribulation, and high-grade Golden Core takes three Lightning Tribulation!
The Demon Beast in the distance were already considering retreating. After all, they were attracted by the spiritual fragrance emanating from the physical transformation. Now that the transformation was complete, whether Ye Xuecang lived or died during the Lightning Tribulation, they had no chance.
But the powerful demons seemed to have also become enraged and still refused to leave.
Pfft!
Before the Lightning Tribulation in the sky could even strike, Ye Shengyi's body had already transformed into a kite with a broken string and flown away.
This made Ye Xuecang's heart clench.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon charged at Ye Shengyi once more.
Ye Xuecang couldn't help but close his eyes.
Just then...
"You beast, cease your arrogance!" Ye Jingcheng landed on the back of the Golden Falcon, along with the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Crimson Flame Fox Turtle Ancestor.
The golden greatsword struck first.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon was eventually distracted and did not continue its charge towards Ye Shengyi!
But when it looked at Ye Jingcheng and Golden Falcon, it transformed into golden light and charged forward aggressively.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros was enormous, but its speed was terrifying beyond imagination.
The golden, unicorn-like phantom that formed seemed capable of shattering everything.
Boom!
The Golden Light Rhinoceros crashed down, shattering the Golden Falcon and golden sword that had been diving to their maximum extent, and also turning Ye Jingcheng's Golden Light Mountain Shield into a pile of golden shadows.
The Golden Falcon was also instantly thrown away, with a huge bloody hole in its wing, torn so badly that countless bones could be seen to have been shattered, causing it to suffer severe injuries instantly.
Startled, Ye Jingcheng seized the opportunity to jump down from the side, unleashing his Azure Swan Sword first, followed by the Spirit-Releasing Net covering the area.
However, the Azure Swan Sword struck the Golden Light Rhinoceros's golden hide and bounced away. The Spirit-Releasing Net was also deflected by the golden blade, making it impossible for the enemy to get close.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros is like a rapidly moving golden mountain, making it impossible to know where to begin.
The Turtle Ancestor, standing nearby, also descended with massive boulders, attempting to suppress the Golden Light Rhinoceros.
But the Golden Light Rhinoceros roared and lunged forward, shattering the rocks and forming a golden spiritual shadow that crashed into the Turtle Ancestor.
Boom!
The Turtle Ancestor was caught off guard and struck by the golden shadow, causing its shell to dent as if it were about to be shattered by the Golden Light Rhinoceros.
Fortunately, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Crimson Flame Fox provided cover, and Ye Jingcheng threw out the Heavenly River Pearl again.
However, they still gained no advantage and were constantly thwarted by the Golden Light Rhinoceros.
The difference between the Purple Mansion late stage and the early stage of the Purple Mansion is enormous.
Only the Crimson Flame Fox's fireballs terrified the Golden Light Rhinoceros, especially the Azure Sun Flame, which it had never been hit by.
At this moment, the Crimson Flame Fox also became angry. It hissed twice and opened its mouth wide.
The four tails fluttered in the air, transforming into four distinct blue-red fireballs.
Having fled in four directions, the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon could no longer escape.
It dodged three attacks, but little did it know that all four Azure Sun Flame were real Azure Sun Flame.
After all, fireballs in the past were designed for power and required a large amount of True Essence, but the Azure Sun Flame does not require that.
As the last streak landed on the Golden Light Rhinoceros, Qingyang fire instantly began to spread several meters high.
As soon as the Qingyang Flame was unleashed, the Golden Light Rhinoceros roared to its fury, constantly lashing out with its tail in an attempt to extinguish the Azure Sun Flame.
But when its tail struck the flames, it also burst into flames.
The terrifying power of the Azure Sun Flame was somewhat unexpected even for Ye Jingcheng.
But this Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon was absolutely terrifying. It continued to charge wildly, and at this moment, Ye Xuefan helped by casting the vine binding spell of the Mystic Origin Water-Wood Array.
The Demon King did not appear, Ye Xuecang broke through.
At this moment, they naturally couldn't let the Golden Light Rhinoceros demon escape.
Just then, Ye Haihe arrived from afar with Ye Haisheng, carrying a Star-Eyed Iron Ape on their backs. They immediately charged at a Sword-Toothed Shark.
The Lightning Tribulation finally struck atop the mountain peak.
Ye Xuecang then wielded his Fourfold Sword.
Boom!
The sword strike resembled a mountain being cleaved in two, a move meant to Mountainbreaker, but it was ultimately destroyed by lightning.
The second sword immediately appeared; this sword depicted a river hanging upside down, stretching endlessly—this was the River Breath!
After two sword strikes, most of the lightning dissipated, and Ye Xuecang also moved his physical body straight up to withstand the lightning.
The Lei Yun had not yet dissipated.
Ye Xuecang was clearly at least a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator.
Sure enough, after a dozen or so breaths, a pillar-thick Lightning Tribulation condensed and crashed down from the sky.
This time, Ye Xuecang drew his sword a third time.
"This sword has been nurtured for thirty years. Though Sword Embryo, I have nurtured it!" Ye Xuecang roared again.
With a single sword strike, the sword was like the bright moon in the sky, its light filling the air.
With a single sword strike, the world lost its color.
This sword strike is the Moon Slash.
Thunder and swords intertwined, shattering the precious sword. This was the unparalleled power of the swords, which even a third-tier Law Treasure could not withstand.
Only Fourth Stage Law Treasure can withstand it.
Ye Xuecang spat out a mouthful of blood, but showed no sign of backing down.
He wielded his sword a fourth time.
"This fourth sword is nameless, it is called Thundercrash!" Ye Xuecang shouted.
The final sword strike was originally undefined; it was simply one of his four natal swords.
But today, Thundercrash, to celebrate the Golden Elixir!
Boom!
Sword light flashed everywhere, lightning split in two, and Ye Xuecang's body also Ascension into the air, absorbing all the lightning.
In an instant, Ye Xuecang's aura froze completely.
The reason why a pseudo-Golden Core has the word "pseudo" is that it has not undergone Lightning Tribulation.
Now, Ye Xuecang's gaze swept over those great demons!
Instantly, all the Demon Beast, including the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon, shuddered!
Even though Ye Xuecang was severely injured during the Lightning Tribulation, and even his sword broke,
