What If I Can't Die?

156 Swallowing a Golden Core

The next day, Lu Ke came punctually, but he still did not see Lu Youyou.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. After Lu Ke realized that he would not see Lu Youyou for a while, he did not waste any more time.

After all, it was not rare for a cultivator to cultivate in seclusion for half a month. If there was nothing else and Lu Youyou was patient, it would not be a problem for her to cultivate in seclusion for even a few years.

On this day, powerful fluctuations appeared in the depths of the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. Soon, Old Man Nightmare arrived outside Song Shi’s door.

Just as he was about to speak, the aura emitted by Song Shi’s room suddenly became much stronger.

Old Man Nightmare was shocked, “Is this… a breakthrough?”

Endless flames rushed out in front of him, and the scorching power dispelled the darkness and cold nearby.

The expressions of the Spirits on the ship changed. They felt as if they were facing the sun and hurriedly hid into the darkness.

Old Man Nightmare’s expression was solemn, “His aura is so strong. I’m already feeling a pressure even though he had just formed his core. The cultivation technique that the person,whom this old ghost possessed, cultivates is not simple either.”

“Uncle Meng, since he’s breaking through, let’s not call on him. Let’s deal with those fellows from Great Qian ourselves.”

Lu Jiu’s voice was heard.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Old Man Nightmare turned around. He originally wanted Song Shi to follow him out to make an official appearance. Now that he was breaking through, they decided to not rush this.

Bai Xiaoqin, who was cultivating in the suite, faced an even more terrifying masculine force. She hid in the paper effigy in a panic and heaved a sigh of relief, “Did Elder break through and become much stronger?”

In her eyes, the room where Song Shi was was filled with flames. The dark red light emitted became more and more blazing. After reaching a certain critical point, it had turned golden.

This light looked even purer than before and the power it contained was even more terrifying. Bai Xiaoqin, who could already control the movements of her paper effigy, quickly hid in the cabinet.

In the room, Song Shi’s lava-like Essence Energy was boiling and undergoing a transformation.

Especially where his Dantian was, wisps of golden flames were constantly being produced.

In the center of the golden flames, Song Shi’s Essence Energy was constantly compressed. A golden dot of light was frantically absorbing the surrounding golden flames. Finally, it transformed into a golden bean that kept spinning.

After this thing was formed, Song Shi’s aura had completely transformed. The coercion of the Golden Core level force was released, making the people guarding the Supreme Kraken Ship feel heavy and suppressed. They felt as if there was a sun hanging above their heads.

In the top floor space.

Due to the huge commotion, even with the isolation of the Array Formation Power, Lu Youyou, who was cultivating, was still alarmed.

“This power is so annoying. It’s definitely not a cultivation technique from the sect. It’s that guy!”

The air was clearly distorting. Waves of heat gushed out from the next level and spread continuously. Fortunately, there was an Array Formation around the ship to control it. Otherwise, this power would have destroyed the ship.

“Damn it, this guy is actually about to form his Gold Core. I still can’t defeat him!”

She clenched her fists angrily and waved them in the air for a while. Then, she lowered her head dejectedly. “I still need a few days to break through for a small realm, but this guy actually broke through a large realm so quickly!”

“After all, his breakthrough was from possession and re-cultivation. Since he was already experienced in Core Formation, as long as he has enough strength, it will be easy to break through.”

Shi Tianya walked out and comforted her. “Youyou, you don’t have to belittle yourself. Talent determines the upper limit of a cultivator. Your future upper limit is far above his.”

“Hmph, as you said. that will be in the future. What I want is to be better than the present, and I don’t want to only surpass this old ghost in the future. I don’t know how long I have to wait.”

Lu Youyou didn’t agree. She just wanted to vent her anger as soon as possible. She was not a patient person. Why must she wait so long to take her revenge?

Shi Tianya knew why Lu Youyou was so exasperated. He smiled and said, “I heard from Elder Nightmare that Youyou was bullied by this old ghost. If there’s a chance, I’ll help you vent your anger first.”

“You said it yourself. Remember to call me when you beat him up!”

Lu Youyou originally wanted to take revenge herself, but after it seemed to her that she couldn’t do it within a short period of time, she could only let Shi Tianya beat this old ghost up first to vent her anger for her.

“Very soon. When he breaks through, I’ll fight him in the name of sparring.”

Shi Tianya said dotingly.

Boom!

The entire Supreme Kraken Ship shook, and the aura released by Song Shi was even more astonishing. Flames filled a radius of ten thousand meters, and the Fire Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth gathered crazily, forming a sun-like energy ball in the void.

“The quality of this guy’s Golden Core is very high!”

Lu Youyou snorted.

“He has reached the top-grade. This means that he broke through when he was in the perfect Foundation Establishment realm.”

Shi Tianya frowned, “With such a foundation, the success rate of the Blood-Robed old ghost breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future is probably very high. No wonder the sect master values him very much.”

Lu Youyou was instantly agitated. She turned around and left, “I’m going back to cultivate. Help me activate the Array Formation Power to the maximum to isolate the impact of this guy’s breakthrough.”

Shi Tianya nodded in surprise, “Sure!”

He stared at the position of the Blood-Robed old ghost and was puzzled. “How badly did Youyou get provoked by this old ghost? She actually became so focused on cultivation.”

In Song Shi’s room, the dark red primeval essence turned into pale golden flames.

This power was extremely pure. It circulated according to Song Shi’s will, like a real fire.

In fact, this power was considered a fire attribute Nomological power.

Nomological power was a power that only Golden Core cultivators could cultivate. It was formed by the compression of Essence Energy and the cultivator’s mental strength. Its power was much stronger than Essence Energy.

Under the Golden Core realm, be it Spiritual Energy or Spiritual Essence, they would not contain too much Spiritual strength. Therefore, their transformation during Golden Core and power were much weaker.

Now, because this Nomological power contained Spiritual strength, it could easily mobilize the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth at command. Whenever the Golden Core cultivator wished, Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would come and go according to will. To a Golden Core cultivator, releasing a wisp of Nomological power will be equivalent to having the corresponding Spiritual Qi.

According to the Connate Pure Yang Art, the flames formed by this Nomological power could be called Pure Yang True Fire.

According to the Nine Yang Divine Technique, it could also be called the Nine Yang True Fire.

The word ‘True’ was a characteristic of the Golden Core King level. Any Nomological power at that level was comparable to something that truly existed.

After converting the power in his body, he had successfully condensed a Golden Core the size of a pearl. It was filled with fire patterns and emitted powerful fluctuations.

The Golden Core was still not fully grown. It shook slightly and began to absorb the spiritual Qi of the outside world to replenish and consolidate its realm.

In the next second, the Fire Spiritual Qi above his head poured down and formed a vortex.

Merely relying on the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was not enough. Song Shi took out a pile of spirit stones and used them to quickly replenish his strength.

With the replenishment of a large amount of external Spiritual Qi, the size of the Golden Core continued to expand, and the light began to converge.

After a day, Song Shi’s Golden Core had become the size of a fist. At this level, it was already comparable to a late-stage Golden Core existence.

This meant that in terms of quality, his magic power was already comparable to the late-stage Golden Core realm.

Of course, there was a price to pay. Not only did he expend most of his Essence Energy and Spirit from the other eight acupuncture points, but he also spent tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. As for the five Demon seeds he obtained from the System before he broke through, they were naturally included in the ‘cost’.

“The price of breaking through is really high. With my cultivation and so many resources, I could only condense one Great Mastery Golden Core. At this rate I can only take my time with the remaining eight.”

Song Shi exhaled and opened his mouth. The golden core flew back into his Dantian space.

After swallowing a Golden Core, my fate is up to me and no longer the heavens.

Song Shi thought to himself. After swallowing the golden core, his entire body shone brightly. His body rapidly improved under the tempering of powerful Nomological powers.
