Chapter 296 - 296 Invincible Below the Golden Core Realm (1)
296 Invincible Below the Golden Core Realm (1)
In a dense forest, the shocking roar of a demonic beast rang out, shaking the ground. Its savage and fierce aura overflowed, causing many weak demonic beasts to hide away in fear.
Two figures with a huge difference in size were fighting each other. A huge collision occurred, and terrifying shockwaves erupted, destroying more than ten towering trees and collapsing a large area of mountain rocks.
The demonic beast was a huge black wolf with extremely sharp fangs. Its blood-red eyes were filled with murderous intent as it stared at the human in front of it. Without any hesitation, it pounced again.
“You’re quite resistant to being beaten up!”
On the other side, Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm. His body suddenly jumped up, and his blood Qi was as bright as the sun. It was condensed on his fist, and like a meteorite falling from the sky, he struck forward.
Even if the wolf was powerful enough to tear apart a group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, it was still not strong enough in front of Jiang Ming, who had passed the first tribulation of the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. His fist was harder than the wolf’s head. The black wolf was dizzy and wondered if the opponent in front of it was a real human.
After dozens of punches, Jiang Ming jumped to the sky. His fist was burning, and it smashed through the black wolf’s head. Blood rained down, leaving only the headless body of the fierce wolf falling down.
Demonic beasts at the Foundation Establishment Realm were delicious!
Jiang Ming carried the wolf’s body and nodded in satisfaction. He tapped his feet and flew to the mountain not far away.
On the peak of the mountain, there was spirit grass everywhere. It was a place rich in spiritual energy.
At the very center of the mountain peak was a small tree that was as tall as a person. It bore more than ten glistening yellow fruits that were emitting a soft glow and a fragrant scent.
“The soul-cleansing fruit is an extremely rare spirit herb in the outside world. It can cleanse and nourish the soul. It is one of the very few spirit herbs that have an effect on the soul. To think that it would appear here just like that. A single fruit is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones!”
Jiang Ming stood in front of the small tree and muttered to himself. His eyes were also filled with amazement.
He had discovered this small tree on this mountain earlier. When he was about to pluck the fruit, he encountered the pitch-black wolf.
“The strength of that wolf almost surpasses the Foundation Establishment Realm. With it guarding this small tree, no one can pick these soul-cleansing fruits. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have a chance.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and threw the wolf’s body on the ground. He took out a jade box and put all the soul-cleansing fruits in it.
Immediately, Jiang Ming skinned and cut down the beast, picked out the best part of the meat, and roasted it on the fire, ready to enjoy a good meal.
Demonic beasts this strong contained a rich essence that was beyond imagination. For Jiang Ming, it was also a great supplement that could stabilize his cultivation base.
While roasting the meat, Jiang Ming also took out a soul-cleansing fruit and ate it without hesitation.
A stream of clear, fluid energy instantly swept through Jiang Ming’s limbs and bones, making his whole mind extremely clear. He felt a strange power nourishing his divine soul, making his perception of his surroundings much more sensitive.
“Huh? My soul… It’s undergoing a transformation!”
Jiang Ming suddenly shuddered. He felt that his divine soul seemed to be slowly withering and dying under the nourishment of the soul-cleansing fruit. However, in the deepest part of his divine soul, a new existence was slowly being born.
An invisible fluctuation spread out with Jiang Ming as the center.
Jiang Ming’s face flashed with a trace of unbelievable ecstasy. He quickly closed his eyes and carefully sensed the new power from his soul.
At this moment, although Jiang Ming’s eyes were closed, he could still clearly see his surroundings. It was as if he was omnipresent. He could clearly perceive minute details like the veins on the leaves.
“Is this the divine will?”
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
He had never expected that he would actually be able to form his divine will today.
Once a cultivator opened up their spiritual core, they would naturally possess a divine soul, which was an existence one level higher than the soul of an ordinary person. They could sense many things that ordinary people could not.
However, the cultivation of the divine soul was extremely difficult. Generally speaking, it could only be slowly nurtured with the growth of cultivation. Even if one took a natural treasure like the soul-cleansing fruit, it could only slightly speed up its growth.
The divine will was the result of the divine soul being condensed to the extreme. It was an existence that was one level higher than the divine soul.
Those with a divine will could drive magical tools to attack their enemies from a distance without using spiritual energy.
The divine will could also form a divine will realm. Within the realm, one’s will could directly attack the divine soul of other cultivators. If the enemy’s divine soul was not stable enough, it could even be destroyed and killed on the spot.
In addition, one’s divine will could also increase the power of spells and greatly improve alchemy and tool refining techniques. It could improve almost all of a cultivator’s abilities, and it was something that countless cultivators dreamed of.
However, it was extremely difficult to transform one’s divine soul into their divine will. Even among Golden Core Realm cultivators, less than one in ten could cultivate their divine will. Once one cultivated their divine will, one could be said to be invincible among those of the same level.
