Chapter 154: Fundamental Forces
“What’s going on? Why do I sense the aura of my Blood Resentment Curse and Blood Spirit Technique...?”
“He used a secret technique for eruption?”
“To think his strength has increased so much—his aura has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm! That Golden Core of his is even transforming—this shouldn’t be possible!”
At that moment, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood also sensed the abrupt change in Li Tianwei’s aura. The look he cast toward Li Tianwei was filled with deep confusion.
As a cultivator, it was understandable to use a secret technique to erupt when faced with crisis.
When the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood had once been weak, he too had done the same, leaving behind many aftereffects as a result.
Although he had later managed to mend them, his foundation had still been damaged to some extent.
Hence, in matters of secret techniques for eruption, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood had considerable understanding. Yet the power that Li Tianwei was releasing now was entirely different—so different that it wasn’t merely an increase in strength, but a genuine transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.
Indeed, under the perception of the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood, Li Tianwei’s eruption wasn’t just an illusionary boost—the Golden Core truly seemed to have transformed into a visible Nascent Soul.
Ordinarily, no matter how powerful a secret technique was, it was impossible for one’s cultivation realm to truly break through in such a real manner.
The realms achieved through such secret eruptions were meant to be hollow—like a fleeting bubble, fragile and unreal. Yet Li Tianwei’s peak Nascent Soul aura felt completely solid and authentic.
In that instant, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood felt a faint sense of unease.
Then, Li Tianwei raised his hand and said, “Resentment Channeling Curse.”
Boom——
The Resentment of Heaven and Earth, the endless stray thoughts, and the collective resentments of all beings—resentment that differed from spiritual energy—connected with Li Tianwei in an instant.
At that moment, it was as if a Demon Lord had descended; an overwhelming aura of ill-omen burst forth.
“Not good…”
Upon seeing this change, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood’s expression drastically shifted.
At the very moment Li Tianwei’s Resentment Channeling Curse established its link, his half-core, half-infant Golden Core completely shattered.
The Golden Core collapsed, its boundless brilliance entirely dispersed.
Revealed within was a gray and aberrant Nascent Soul, standing suspended midair as destructive pressure of collapse and annihilation erupted outward.
As his Nascent Soul underwent qualitative transformation, Li Tianwei struck back without hesitation.
“Suppress.”
Li Tianwei’s gaze grew incomparably solemn. Through the eruption of the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, coupled with the connection of the Resentment Channeling Curse and the divine power Heaven-Ending Yin Fiend, a terrifying Manifestation took form within the fissioned Golden Core.
His Nascent Soul Manifestation was formed.
That decaying and collapsing Nascent Soul—merely by revealing itself—visibly halted the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood’s immense palm in midair.
Then an even more terrifying scene unfolded before the eyes of the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood and the five cultivators including Yun Danzhi.
The collapsing Nascent Soul began to drag everything around it inward. Yes—centered around Li Tianwei’s Nascent Soul Manifestation, the terrifying mass generated a gravitational pull so immense that everything in its vicinity—matter, light, spiritual energy—was inexorably drawn toward it.
Even light itself, even spiritual energy, had no chance of escaping; all was devoured by that Nascent Soul Manifestation.
A massive vortex replaced the once sky-covering blood palm.
“This… this… how is this possible…”
The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood stared in utter disbelief at that strange and grotesque Nascent Soul.
He never could have imagined that someone could use a secret eruption technique to raise their Golden Core to the Nascent Soul Realm, directly cultivating a Nascent Soul Manifestation.
His astonishment was understandable.
As for Li Tianwei, he wasn’t surprised. After all, his Fission Qi-Guiding Method categorized spiritual energy as a form of matter. By causing it to undergo fission and collision, he could generate tremendous power.
In Li Tianwei’s eyes, so-called spiritual energy and spells were merely different expressions of matter.
Since they were manifestations of matter, he naturally had ways to counter them.
As long as they were forms of matter, they could not escape the gravitational waves born of supreme mass. His Nascent Soul Manifestation, formed by refining his shattered Golden Core into an infant form, continuously compressed fission energy—triggering gravitational waves capable of restricting all matter.
With such a Nascent Soul, no form of matter could escape—not even light. How then could mere spells, which were also forms of matter, hope to?
If a secret technique could raise one’s realm, then so be it. If the world itself was composed of matter, then what of it? Was there any rule in the cultivation world that said matter could not exist?
In Li Tianwei’s understanding, this was perfectly reasonable—and that was why he could defy convention.
[“I knew it.”]
The System, watching Li Tianwei forcefully push his way into the Nascent Soul Realm through eruption, was utterly convinced by him.
Originally, seeing the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood and another Union Realm cultivator attacking him—both separated from him by four great realms—it should have been hopeless.
Yet Li Tianwei forcibly erased one great realm of difference through his secret eruption, and then used the collapse of a stellar mass to generate gravitational waves that restricted them.
At this moment, the System couldn’t help but wonder whether Li Tianwei was about to truly harness and control the four fundamental forces of the universe.
While the System pondered this, Li Tianwei had already begun arranging everything—fission leading to collapse, stellar gravity drawing everything in, the weak nuclear force from radioactive decay, and the rest of the forces that were soon to follow.
“No, he’s just a Golden Core cultivator. His power is only a bit strange.”
“I’m at the Union Realm’s peak! You have divine powers—so do I!”
Seeing his demonic palm halted, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood showed no panic; after all, he hadn’t yet used his full strength.
“This Li Tianwei is too terrifying… is he even still a Golden Core cultivator? How did he do this? Could he truly cultivate immortality from a mere Golden Core?”
While the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood prepared to unleash his incomplete divine ability, Yun Danzhi and the others, seeing the terrifying power emanating from Li Tianwei’s Nascent Soul Manifestation, felt their hearts tighten.
“We strike together! He must not be allowed to live!”
Yun Danzhi’s gaze locked with the three behind him as he spoke.
The moment his words fell, the four nodded in unison, fixing their stares upon Li Tianwei below.
“Great Luo Heaven!”
“Hidden Yin Mystery of Heaven!”
“Holy Cloud Wheel Fall…!”
“Heaven-Splitting Dao-Breaking Art…!”
The four attacked together, and at that moment the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood activated his incomplete divine ability as well.
“Blood Nether Sky!”
Crack——
Three Out-of-Body Realm and two Union Realm cultivators unleashed their killing moves simultaneously. No one would ever have imagined that such a combined strike was meant to kill a single Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Were someone to make up such a story, cultivators across the world would laugh till their teeth fell out.
Out-of-Body and Union experts using killing arts against a mere Golden Core?
Yet reality was far more absurd than fiction.
And at this moment, it was undeniably real.
Five forces erupted—blood seas surging to the heavens, four divine lights uniting to tear open the sky.
All five forces converged upon one target: to completely suppress and annihilate Li Tianwei.
