Bang...
The remaining thirty-odd percent of the force slammed into He Pingsheng's body.
In that instant, his body burst open.
His blood vessels ruptured!
His internal organs shattered!
Countless scraps of flesh flew everywhere.
Fortunately, He Pingsheng was a body-refining cultivator, and his heaven-tier [Nine-Toxin Golden Body] had already reached the eleventh layer of the Golden Core Stage along with his cultivation.
He could not claim that his body could withstand an attack from the Spirit Transformation Stage, but enduring a Nascent Soul attack was no problem.
And now, after seventy percent of the force of this Spirit Transformation strike had been stripped away, only the final thirty percent landed on him.
Even this attack was several times stronger than a Nascent Soul Realm attack.
So his body could not withstand it.
But...
After being smashed into the ground like a meteor, He Pingsheng did not die.
He had merely lost an arm, half a leg, and several shattered internal organs.
His divine sense was still largely intact.
For a cultivator, as long as their divine sense, dantian, Golden Core, and spirit root remained intact, everything else was just a flesh wound.
As luck would have it, all of those remained intact in He Pingsheng.
With great difficulty, he used his divine sense to take a supreme-grade Golden Bone Pill from his ring and swallowed it.
Then his bodily tissues began regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Above him, Jiang Yu seemed in no hurry. He leisurely waited for He Pingsheng's body to recover.
But after a few breaths, He Pingsheng's expression turned utterly grim.
Cracked...
My Golden Cores have cracked.
Not just one-all five Golden Cores, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, had developed cracks of varying sizes.
His body could no longer gather spiritual power.
