Chapter 300: Chapter 257: Golden Core’s First Battle, Three Divine Treasure Gourds! (Double-Length)
This is Gu Yuan’s first magical combat after ascending to the Golden Core.
Within the Dantian, the gold-attribute mana spirals upward, like golden serpents, moving swiftly before surging into the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl.
Though there are only ten strands of gold-attribute mana, the energy contained is far more powerful than during the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Spiritual Light of the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl surges, transforming into a white stream of light that instantly strikes toward the Black Water Infant Beast.
While flying, within the crystalline orb, six small apertures suddenly breathe out thunderlights.
This scene is incredibly mystical.
Within a palm-sized orb, six tiny thunderlights breathe out, initially thin and barely visible, but as time passes, they grow more numerous, like six enormous Thunder Flood Dragons emerging from tiny holes, suddenly overshadowing the sky, creating a massive contrast.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The thunderlights surge wildly, flowing boundlessly, with thunderous roars, rushing toward the Black Water Infant Beast.
Yet upon seeing this, the beast merely laughed heartily.
"Such ordinary thunderclouds, dare you show shame again?"
"Little one, if you can’t handle thunder techniques, why not visit Zuo Tianlun at the Sunset Glow Sect for advice!"
Without any movement, it simply raises its massive body, with closed scale armor, directly advancing toward the six thunders released by Gu Yuan.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Though the thunderlights appear fierce, they merely leave faint thunder marks upon the beast’s scale armor.
As its scale armor closes again, it emits dense black mist and smoke, and the thunder marks vanish as if they’d never appeared.
The Demon Race’s physical form is inherently advantaged, one of their few aspects where they surpass Human Race Cultivators.
Every Earth Demon must enhance their root and bloodlines, endure Thunder Strikes, before ascending to Great Demon.
During this process, any demon beast’s body undergoes refining, enhancing physical strength manifold, making it hard for ordinary artifacts to damage them.
If not for this, how could the Demon Race, lacking in Artifact Refining and understanding of Profound Techniques, compete with the human Golden Core?
Gu Yuan’s Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl, though seemingly grand, only absorbed common thunderclouds summoned by the array, not the famed divine thunder techniques, hence unable to harm the Black Water Infant Beast.
The Black Water Infant Beast laughed proudly, its huge green eyes flashing with ferocity.
"Zing!"
But just then, within the apertures of the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl, a tiny gold light speck emerged, along with the vast thunderclouds.
The gold light is slender, grain-sized, barely visible.
Yet it moved at the ultimate speed, faster than lightning!
In an instant, it tore through the Void.
Moreover, the gold light was accompanied by purple thunderlight, shadowing it closely.
The purple lightning wasn’t vast and majestic, like a purple halo swirling around the gold light.
Yet the fury within was suppressed to the utmost!
"Not good!"
The scales of the Black Water Infant Beast raised in unison, an overwhelming sense of danger instantly striking its heart.
"Buzz!"
Black smoke billowed up from between its scales, rapidly condensing, instantly forming a massive black beast mouth to greet the gold light.
Inside the mouth, a buzzing sound was heard continuously, coupled with a terrifying corrosion force spreading incessantly.
This was the beast’s innate venomous smoke, Six Poison Nether Spring Smoke.
This smoke was incredibly venomous, formed by consuming countless toxins over time, used as a trump card against Human Race Cultivators.
Any ordinary artifact, swallowed by this beast’s venomous mouth, would immediately lose its spiritual nature, and if unable to escape, would turn to molten iron in mere moments.
"Zing!"
Yet the gold light speck was of extremely high quality and sharpness, spiraling with fifteen gold dragons within, countless Spiritual Qi rushing in like tides, transforming into a terrifying power.
"Bang!"
After merely a glance, the black beast mouth was shredded to pieces.
Then the gold light continued its momentum, heading straight for the Black Water Infant Beast.
The beast’s face changed drastically, but the gold light was impossibly fast, making it too late to dodge.
Helplessly, it twisted its body forcefully, coiling its snake tail, its human head leaning back, using the snake tail to confront the gold light.
"Ah!"
A scream echoed through the heavens.
Even though the beast’s physical form was strong, with grim scales on the snake tail, it couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the gold light.
In just a moment, the snake tail was pierced through, leaving a massive bleeding hole, utterly tragic.
But the tail’s flesh was rich in venomous force, particularly adept at contaminating spiritual mechanisms.
Even wielding an upper-class Sword Pill, this strike momentarily corrupted the spiritual mechanism, suspended in mid-air, stalled.
The Black Water Infant Beast took this opportunity, swiftly heading toward Black Water Island.
The person before it, how could they be a mere child?!
Clearly, they were a terrifying Sword Cultivator capable of wielding an upper-class Sword Pill!
Moreover, it was a Thunder Attribute Sword Pill!
These two techniques, one breaks the physical form, the other destroys the demonic!
Most penetrating, the greatest nemesis of the Demon Race.
Yet the person before it wielded both techniques.
"Ha!"
But just then, a light voice suddenly came from behind.
The sound was soft, almost inaudible, the surrounding world unchanged, everything peaceful.
Yet within the beast’s heart, an overwhelming panic instantly arose.
Before it could even ponder, an immensely tremendous sound echoed across the skies.
The sound was like thunder, like dragon roaring, like mountain crumbling, as if the most terrifying sounds in the heavens and earth converged, producing a magnificent echo that shook the world.
