Chapter 1291 The Golden Core Tribulation Descends, Struggling to Survive
Chapter 1291 The Golden Core Tribulation Descends, Struggling to Survive
"If I were to fully activate my Yuan Dan now, and then unleash the Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist, I could probably generate a force of tens of millions of tons, right?" Chen Yang muttered to himself.
Previously, he needed to rely on the Heart of the Wood God to unleash a massive force of tens of millions of tons.
Now that he has condensed his Yuan Dan and has his own microcosm, he truly possesses power of his own.
A single punch could unleash the force of tens of millions of tons; even a spaceship from Atlantis might not be able to withstand that.
The Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist has broken through the ten million tons of force, reaching the seventh level. However, breaking through to the eighth level is not easy, because the eighth level of the Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist requires breaking through the one hundred million tons of fist force.
At the very least, Chen Yang would need to break through to the Golden Core Realm, and only in the mid-to-late stages of the Golden Core Realm, before he could possibly break through to the eighth level of the Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist.
At first glance, the idea of a punch delivering 100 million tons of force seems incredible; one would need to stack a thousand aircraft carriers with a displacement of 100,000 tons each. However, in the face of nature, 100 million tons of force is commonplace; any towering mountain weighs far more than 100 million tons.
Mount Tai, for example, has an astonishing total weight of five to six hundred billion tons.
If Chen Yang wanted to raze Mount Tai to the ground, he would have to unleash at least tens of thousands of punches, which would leave him exhausted.
Of course, it's not just the Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist; all other martial arts techniques will also improve as the Yuan Dan is condensed within the body.
hum!hum!
He glared angrily, and two flames shot out from his eyes. The flames were like two angry dragons that shot straight up to a hundred feet away and landed on the surface of the Dragon Pool. In an instant, they boiled the water in the Dragon Pool and steamed up a large amount of water vapor.
If that flame were to fall on a tank, it probably wouldn't last more than a few seconds before the tank was reduced to molten iron.
With a thought, a set of dragon-scale-like armor appeared on his body.
The armor was still purple-gold, but its texture was noticeably stronger, comparable to a top-grade holy-grade defensive magic weapon. Even a small nuclear weapon would have a hard time harming it.
Then he raised his hand again, and a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, shaped like a tree branch and thousands of meters long, but he caught it in his hand.
Boom!
"Wow! This human kid is amazing! He's only at the Core Formation stage, yet he's already so terrifying. Even those so-called prodigies of the Golden Dragon Clan might not be able to compare to him." Changbai Mountain Ginseng was deeply shocked.
"Nonsense! The Golden Dragon Clan's prodigies are nothing! My master is not only invincible among his peers, but also invincible throughout the world. Goodbye, I'm off!"
The earth vein dragon glanced disdainfully at the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, then rushed into Chen Yang's body.
It had had its fill of wandering these past few months and felt that staying inside Chen Yang's body was more comfortable and reliable, especially since it could receive the feedback from Chen Yang's growing strength.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky.
Chen Yang quickly dispelled the lightning in his hand.
Even so, the thunder in the sky did not disappear. A thundercloud storm rapidly condensed, growing larger and more terrifying. Thousands of bolts of lightning were clearly poised to strike.
"What's going on? A lightning tribulation? Whose lightning tribulation?" Changbai Mountain Ginseng was stunned.
If we say it's its own tribulation of lightning, it hasn't accumulated enough power to generate any connection with the Heavenly Dao.
It's said to be the tribulation of the earth vein dragon, but it just passed through the tribulation a few months ago.
If you call it Chen Yang's tribulation, this guy was only at the Core Formation stage just now.
"Having just condensed the Yuan Dan, can one already undergo the Golden Core Tribulation?"
Thinking of this, the little dragon of the earth veins suddenly felt a jolt in its heart.
It has lived for so long and has encountered all sorts of extraordinary talents.
There have indeed been geniuses who have just condensed their Yuan Dan and then undergone the tribulation of lightning, but they are extremely rare.
Such beings often accumulate enough before the primordial core is formed.
In other words, he could have condensed his elixir long ago, but he chose not to, instead continuously accumulating and refining his essence, energy, and spirit. As a result, the moment his elixir was condensed, it was perfectly formed, radiating immense power.
Furthermore, their Yuan Dan (original core) is comparable to that of ordinary Jin Dan (golden core), and they can even use Yuan Dan to defeat Jin Dan.
"This young human is truly remarkable. He has just condensed his Yuan Dan and has already attracted the Golden Core Tribulation. This means that he has condensed a perfect Yuan Dan and does not need to be refined later. He can undergo the tribulation immediately."
"Moreover, this tribulation looks terrifying. If he undergoes the tribulation now, the grade of his Golden Core should not be low. There is a very high probability of a mid-grade three Golden Core, and there is also a considerable possibility of a high-grade three Golden Core."
"A monster, a fucking monster!"
The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain muttered to itself, recognizing that this was Chen Yang's Golden Core Tribulation, and was truly shocked.
Previously, Chen Yang claimed that he was the chosen one, the darling of Heaven, and had an inextricable connection with the spiritual roots of Earth, but he didn't believe it.
Now it's finally starting to believe it!
Because a prodigy who can immediately attract lightning tribulation after condensing his core is rare even in the golden age of cultivation thousands of years ago, Chen Yang may be the only one in this era of declining Dharma.
Such an extraordinary and monstrous talent—it's hard to explain if he isn't a chosen one of destiny, a favorite of Heaven.
The lightning in the sky was too violent, condensing at an extremely fast speed. Ten thousand thunderbolts roared, oppressing heaven and earth. The vast Dragon Pool Secret Realm might not be able to contain it.
Thus, once the tribulation ends, the entire Dragon Pool Secret Realm will likely be reduced to ashes.
"Damn! With such a violent tribulation, the Golden Core that will be attained through this tribulation must be of the upper three grades, with the seventh and eighth grades being the most likely. The ninth grade is a bit unlikely." The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain suddenly said with great certainty.
Normally, the more terrifying and grand the tribulation, the higher the grade of the Golden Core attained through enlightenment.
Based on past experience, Changbai Mountain Ginseng judged that Chen Yang's final Golden Elixir grade was likely to be grade seven or eight.
It's important to understand that seventh and eighth grade Golden Cores are already incredibly powerful. Not only in this era of declining Dharma, but even during the golden ages of cultivation long ago, seventh and eighth grade Golden Cores were extremely rare.
As for the supreme-grade Golden Elixir, that's just a legend; don't even think about it.
"What? Seventh or eighth grade? There's not even a chance of it being ninth grade? What use is such a trashy Golden Core to me?" Chen Yang shook his head, looking disappointed yet arrogant.
"What? Human brat, you're saying seventh and eighth-grade Golden Cores are trash? How arrogant! Do you know that seventh and eighth-grade Golden Cores are already the ceiling on Earth? Not only in this Dharma-ending Age, but also during the golden age of cultivation in ancient times. As for achieving a ninth-grade Golden Core, don't even think about it. Earth's laws of heaven and earth simply cannot produce such powerful Golden Cores." The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain snorted.
The brat was so arrogant and boastful, he bragged without thinking, it was unbearable to watch.
It assumed Chen Yang was aiming for the ninth-grade Golden Elixir and looked down on him.
In fact, Chen Yang didn't even look down on ninth-grade golden pills; his ambition was to reach the highest grade golden pill.
Sacred, divine, even celestial!
"How ridiculous! How can a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan? You are not me, so how would you know my abilities? You are like a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the world." Chen Yang sneered, turning his contempt towards the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain.
"You little brat, you little brat, if you can attain the ninth-grade Golden Core, I'll kowtow to you. If you can't, you'll kowtow to me. Dare to make a bet with me?"
Changbai Mountain Ginseng was so angry he almost vomited blood. He really wanted to teach Chen Yang a lesson, but he couldn't beat him in a fight, so he had to settle for second best and gamble with Chen Yang.
But then, a strange thing happened: the thundercloud storm that had been expanding wildly in the sky began to shrink, like the receding tide, at an extremely fast speed.
"What happened? The tribulation lightning disappeared? What are you doing?" Changbai Mountain Ginseng was stunned.
Normally, once a lightning tribulation is formed, it is impossible for it to disappear.
"Nothing more than using a method that deceives the heavens to lock away the Yuan Dan. Since the heavens cannot sense the existence of the Yuan Dan, the tribulation lightning naturally disappears," Chen Yang said calmly.
This heaven-defying, deceitful technique is a divine power passed down from the Xuanhuang Ancestor.
Chen Yang has no plans to undergo tribulation yet.
As the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain said, if he were to undergo tribulation now, he would find it difficult to even reach the ninth-grade golden core; he would most likely only reach the seventh or eighth grade.
These two levels of Golden Core are the ceiling for most people, something they can only dream of, but for Chen Yang, they are merely stepping stones. He hasn't even seen a ninth-grade Golden Core yet, let alone a superior-grade one.
In particular, he hoped to obtain the divine grade of the super-grade golden pills.
Thus, he gained the ability to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators while only at the Golden Core stage.
"Good, good, good, you're awesome! You're the best!" Changbai Mountain Ginseng gave Chen Yang a thumbs up, admiring him to the point of prostration. He never expected that this guy could use such a heaven-deceiving technique.
If one were to look inward at Chen Yang's dantian at this moment, one would find that several chains are wrapped around the golden sphere the size of a ping-pong ball, which is the golden core.
This chain is the Heaven-Deceiving Divine Chain, which can sever the vital energy of the Golden Core and cut off the connection with the Heavenly Dao.
The Deceitful Chains are essentially chains of order; to unleash this divine power requires immense strength.
He used this same supernatural power to seal the heart of the Wood God.
Seven months have passed in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has gone by, and Sister-in-law Xianglian is about to give birth. Chen Yang is eager to return home.
However, he cannot leave yet. His Yuan Dan has just been formed and needs to be refined and stabilized.
It should be noted that the Yuan Dan is not stable and there is a possibility that it will dissolve.
There's also the Heaven-Deceiving Chain, which was hastily applied earlier and isn't stable enough.
"Half a month, at most half a month. Once everything is settled here, I'll go back," Chen Yang told himself.
Then he returned to the cave.
It's a pity that the dragon marrow in the Dragon Transformation Pool has been used up completely.
Tick tock!Tick tock!
Although a drop of dragon marrow drips from the dome every few tens of minutes, the efficiency is far too low.
It only takes a few dozen drops a day, not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth.
"Hey, what is that?"
As Chen Yang looked up, he saw many stalactite-like structures on the dome, inverted cone-shaped, milky white and crystal clear, shimmering with a faint glow, and emitting a delicate fragrance.
Each drop of dragon marrow drips from these inverted cone-shaped stalactite-like substances.
"Wow, crystallized solid dragon marrow!" Chen Yang was overjoyed.
Now that we've encountered it, there's no reason for us to let it go.
Chen Yang slapped a solid dragon marrow off and began refining it, polishing and stabilizing the Yuan Dan.
……
Just as Chen Yang was in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm for the last half month of his seclusion, the outside world was in turmoil.
Within the borders of our country, many martial arts masters have inexplicably appeared, and they are generally very young, but they are extremely arrogant and openly challenge major sects and martial arts families.
Although they are young, these people have considerable martial arts skills. Any one of them could be a Grandmaster or a Martial God.
Many heads of martial arts families and sect leaders were directly beaten, some kneeling and begging for mercy, and some were simply beaten to death.
In a city in Northwest China, there is a martial arts family known as the "Desert Mad Blade," the Zhou family, which is hailed as the number one martial arts family in Northwest China.
Click!
On this day, a tall young man arrived at the Zhou family's gate, carrying a large door-shaped knife on his back. He kicked the Zhou family's gate to pieces, and even the tall gatehouse developed several cracks, almost collapsing.
sizzle!
So terrifying.
Many of Zhou's disciples gasped in shock on the spot.
The man at the door was dressed in an ancient-style martial arts outfit. He was no less than two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular build, as strong as a bear. The long sword behind him was more than half his height, like a door panel carried on his back, hence the name "door panel sword".
Although he was very tall, his face looked young, even somewhat immature, so he was probably not very old.
"who?"
"court death!"
"They're up to no good, let's take them down!"
……
As the premier martial arts family in Northwest China, the Zhou family has over a hundred disciples.
Upon seeing the Zhou family's gate breached, the disciples were initially stunned, then swarmed forward like a pack of terrifying war wolves.
Boom!
The burly man carrying the knife didn't move, but stomped his foot hard, causing the ground to shake violently and cracks to appear in the ground.
"Ah ah ah..."
A group of Zhou family disciples were thrown into the air by the shock, and then they all fell to the ground, dazed and confused, with broken bones and tendons.
Although some had not yet fallen, they dared not advance due to the intimidating presence of the burly man with the knife.
"A bunch of trash and good-for-nothings, how dare you offend your grandpa Niu? Call your patriarch out here!" said the burly man carrying a knife, who claimed to be surnamed Niu. His voice was as loud as a bell, deafening and resounding.
"Hmph, you wait, don't try to run away!"
Some of Zhou's disciples turned around and left.
"Who exactly is this guy? He's terrifying!"
"No matter who he is, with the head of the family taking action, he will definitely crush this scum."
"The patriarch is at the half-step divine realm. I wonder when he will be able to take that final half-step."
……
Amidst the discussions among the Zhou family's disciples, a tremendous aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the Zhou family mansion. Then, a figure rushed out like lightning, holding a large knife upside down in his hand.
Clang clang!
The blade scraped against the ground, sparks flying, and even sliced the ground open, leaving a straight crack.
This figure was none other than Zhou Shitong, the head of the Zhou family in the Northwest.
The Zhou family, a martial arts lineage in Northwest China, has a history spanning hundreds of years. Historically, they produced a master of the Divine Realm. Now, Zhou Shitong is at the half-step Divine Realm and is likely to be the second master of the Divine Realm in the Zhou family's history.
