Half a month later, Long Yuan finally returned to the Dragon Kingdom with the people of the Underworld Temple and established a new base for the Underworld Temple in Haishi.
A month after the Temple of the Underworld, a force called Anxinmen suddenly rose in Guangshi and quickly brought all the survivors of Guangshi under its command.
In the same year, a mutiny broke out in the capital, and each provincial governor led his subordinates back to their respective territories and proclaimed themselves kings.
Time flies, and another year has passed. During this year, Xiao Chen's cultivation level broke through to the peak of Foundation Establishment and is still striving towards the Golden Core stage.
"It's time to use the elixir."
Xiao Chen sensed that his cultivation had reached a critical point, and then took out a golden pill from the Creation Ring, which had four distinct lines on it.
This is a mid-grade Xuan-level Breakthrough Pill, and it also has four pill patterns. After swallowing it, the chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage can be increased by 40%.
This was more than enough for Xiao Chen.
As the Breakthrough Pill entered his body, Xiao Chen could feel a violent force constantly surging within him. It was time, and Xiao Chen began to break through to the Golden Core stage with all his might.
The so-called Golden Core stage is the process of condensing a Golden Core on one's own foundation to store one's own power. Golden Cores are also divided into grades, from first to ninth grade, with first grade being the lowest and ninth grade being the highest. It is said that there are even more terrifying levels above the ninth grade, but even Dao Ran Tian Zun had never heard of them before.
As for distinguishing the ranks of Golden Cores, it is by observing the color of the Golden Core. The first rank is plain black, the second rank is gray, the third rank is white, the fourth rank is cyan, the fifth rank is green, the sixth rank is blue, the seventh rank is red, the eighth rank is purple, and the ninth rank is gold.
As the golden core was slowly condensed by Xiao Chen, it appeared to be black.
"Charge!"
Xiao Chen roared, his terrifying voice echoing throughout the entire mountain. Instantly, countless snow demons rushed towards this place, but Xiao Chen ignored them and continued to break through to the Golden Core stage.
As Xiao Chen unleashed his full power, the color of his golden core began to change continuously, from gray to white to cyan, before slowing down and turning purple.
"No, I think there's still room for improvement!"
Xiao Chen could sense that he had not yet reached his limit, so he once again attempted to break through to the Golden Core level. Meanwhile, outside the cave, countless snow demons gathered and charged towards the cave, but they were all blocked by the formation set up by Xiao Chen.
"It's done!"
Xiao Chen said excitedly. Inside his body, a golden core radiating brilliant golden light was floating in his dantian. However, at this moment, a strange feeling arose in Xiao Chen's heart for some reason.
It seems that I still have room for improvement.
"Damn it, I'll give it my all! Maybe there's still room for advancement, and I can achieve that once-in-a-millennium tenth-grade golden core!"
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and began to fully attempt to break through to the tenth-grade Golden Core stage. The golden core began to vibrate continuously as Xiao Chen began his attack.
Xiao Chen's body began to develop numerous cracks, and if the impact continued, he risked exploding and dying.
But Xiao Chen had no chance of stopping.
"If you stop, how can you talk about having an invincible Dao heart, how can you talk about surpassing your ancestors and ascending to the Immortal Realm? Tenth-grade Golden Core, break through!"
Xiao Chen roared, blood streaming from his eyes, but he seemed to feel no pain. Finally, with Xiao Chen's roar, the golden core shattered.
That's right, the Golden Core has finally shattered.
"What!"
Seeing this, Xiao Chen was plunged into despair. His golden core shattered, which meant that his cultivation was completely ruined and he would have to start all over again.
A moment later, Xiao Chen sensed something, and a glimmer of hope appeared on his face.
"Wait, if my Golden Core was shattered, why is my cultivation still intact, and even seems to have become stronger?"
Xiao Chen clenched his fist. He did not feel weak because his golden core had shattered. Soon, however, he noticed something was wrong.
"No, it seems I've successfully formed a tenth-grade Golden Core! Hahaha, I get it, I get it, so that's how it is!"
Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He finally understood the meaning of the tenth-grade golden core. It turned out that the golden core was broken into pieces and integrated into various parts of the body, turning oneself into a golden core. This was the most powerful golden core, also known as the tenth-grade golden core.
At that moment, in the sky above the cave where Xiao Chen was in seclusion, a series of rumbling sounds came from the clouds. The snow demons scattered around Xiao Chen's cave felt a sense of death for some unknown reason.
But he was not in his right mind and only thought about killing Xiao Chen in the cave.
capital.
"Leader, something terrible has happened! A power has erupted from the clouds over Guang City, with strength approaching that of an SSS-level ability user."
"What! An SSS-level ability user? There are actually SSS-level ability users now?"
Guangzhou Anxinmen.
"That location, Sect Master, should we send someone to check it out?"
A group of beast-transformed ability users gathered together, looking at the terrifying lightning tribulation in the distance with solemn expressions, and asked, "We have no confidence that we can withstand an attack of this level."
It's hard to imagine what exactly was struck by lightning inside.
"No need. If it's going in that direction, I think I should know what it is."
Sitting in the sect leader's seat, a woman murmured, "Master, is this your rebirth?"
It was An Fengyuan who, under Xiao Chen's instructions, established a force called Anxinmen in Guangshi and brought the entire Guangshi under her control.
As news of Xiao Chen's tribulation spread, people around the world still surviving in the apocalypse became uneasy. After all, SSS-level superhumans held profound significance for them; it was no exaggeration to say that they were terrifying beings capable of changing the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape).
"Brother Xiao Chen, did you make that noise?"
Lin Yichen was in seclusion when she sensed the movement of the lightning tribulation. She opened her eyes and thought excitedly. Qin Bajiao also had the same thought.
"Someone, I need to go to Guang City!"
