Chapter 180: Can a Mere Golden Core Turn the Heavens Over?
"What do you all mean by this?"
The sudden change of stance among several Union Realm Ancestors caught the others off guard. Those who had been relentlessly attacking Li Tianwei a moment ago were now utterly stunned.
Unconsciously, their gazes fell upon the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and his group.
Feeling their stares, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others showed not the slightest hint of fear—they glared back instead.
Seeing this scene, the dozen or so Union Realm Ancestors felt an indescribable strangeness.
In their eyes, those who suddenly sided with Li Tianwei had absolutely no reason to do so.
They were supposed to be a collective of shared honor and disgrace—wasn’t the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu an institution built to supply the cultivation resources they required?
To abandon the status of Union Realm Ancestors and side with mere ordinary cultivators?
It was as absurd as a mortal world noble forsaking the status of emperor, gentry, or aristocrat, only to mingle with mud-legged peasants.
How could there be one betraying his own kind? Yet such a thing had now happened.
These Union Realm Ancestors were dumbfounded.
However, Li Tianwei had long anticipated this outcome. After all, the Sacred Land of Lingxu was a great sect of the righteous path—how could there possibly be that many petty, scheming opportunists?
It seemed that within the Sacred Land of Lingxu, there were still quite a few who upheld righteousness in their hearts, though far fewer than those corrupted by greed.
But it didn’t matter—for what he stood for was justice itself, the embodiment of truth.
Therefore, today, he would set right what had been twisted and guide the Sacred Land back to the righteous path.
At that thought, Li Tianwei’s gaze grew even sharper.
With the Sacred Lord of Lingxu, Bai Muxu, and several Union Realm Ancestors taking their stand beside him, the situation shifted slightly—but not much.
The difference in strength between both sides remained immense.
Li Tianwei was but a Golden Core cultivator; beside him stood one Out-of-Body expert and four at the Union Realm. Compared to the dozen Union Realm Ancestors on the opposing side, the gap was still overwhelming.
Even though Li Tianwei had shown terrifying might—subduing the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor and Yun Danzhi in West-Ling City—when East Yuan divined the scene through soul projection, these Union Realm Ancestors concluded it was a desperate gambit. Such an explosion of power could easily affect a vast area, even harming his own allies.
They had calculated precisely that Li Tianwei, who prided himself on righteousness, would never recklessly unleash such power—because it would harm the innocent.
That was exactly why they did not fear him.
Li Tianwei’s benevolence—his sense of justice—was his weakness.
Thus, they were unafraid. Truly unafraid.
Thinking this, confidence began to surge within them.
"Ziyue, why persist in this folly!"
"What’s so bad about remaining a Union Realm Ancestor?"
They mocked coldly, for in their eyes, those siding with Li Tianwei were merely dissatisfied with the distribution of power and wanted to seize authority.
They had noticed Li Tianwei’s monstrous talent—if he, as a Golden Core, could suppress a Union Realm Ancestor, then what would happen once he reached the Nascent Soul or even Spirit Transformation Realm?
Could it really be that they were acting for the so-called righteous path?
They had already made up their minds—no matter the reason, this man, who refused to walk the same path as them, must die. Otherwise, once he broke through to the Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation Realm, their fates would be sealed.
Li Tianwei looked at the people standing beside him, then turned toward the furious dozen Union Realm Ancestors across from him.
He saw everything with absolute clarity.
Just as he had thought, what he upheld was the one and only truth.
In the eyes of these men, talk of righteousness, morality, and truth was nothing but illusion.
When stripped bare, it was all just a matter of interest and self-gain.
Those who were slaves to self-interest saw nothing but self-interest.
As the saying went, man cannot imagine what he has never seen.
Naturally, these Union Realm Ancestors could never imagine that Li Tianwei and his companions truly saw the flaws within the current order—they thought it was merely a ploy for power.
Since Li Tianwei saw through their hearts and their false sense of correctness, would he bother reasoning with them?
That would be nothing but a waste of time.
At that thought, Li Tianwei’s aura surged once more. The Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao was fully unleashed.
Tens of thousands of secret techniques, reforged by Li Tianwei himself, now squeezed every ounce of power from his body, igniting a total eruption.
The Golden Core floating midair began to transform.
That half-cracked, half-core, half-infant sphere completely collapsed inward.
From within, the Nascent Soul slowly emerged.
Gray and fractured, emanating destruction—it was a pure black Nascent Soul, revealed before all.
"What is happening……"
"His aura has reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and this power—it’s so dense!"
"Could he have broken through mid-battle?"
"This suction—what kind of power is this?"
When Li Tianwei’s Golden Core began to break through, it shone like a star. Now, as it shattered, endless gravitational fusion took place, collapsing inward.
The entire star entered a state of extreme decay, releasing all its energy.
This power was not just doubled—it was multiplied beyond measure.
At this moment, Li Tianwei’s actions and will had determined the course of everything to come.
"Set right the chaos."
Li Tianwei’s eyes burned like torches as he spoke to the Union Realm Ancestors.
As his words fell, Li Tianwei’s side numbered only four or five, while opposite them stood more than ten—each radiating their own boundless might.
In this situation, Li Tianwei’s calm declaration made the Union Realm Ancestors’ eyes twitch involuntarily.
"Ziyue, Dong Yuan, Bai Lanzi, Xu Tianqi—this is your choice."
Seeing those who had chosen to stand firm, the dozen Ancestors had already branded them as traitors.
"Li Tianwei!"
A dozen Union Realm Ancestors unleashed their full strength simultaneously.
Boom—
Heaven and Earth’s pressure descended.
A terrifying rift tore across the skies, with countless violet bolts of lightning flashing madly within.
Heaven itself was split open.
Li Tianwei’s Nascent Soul had not appeared for nothing—he now wished for one thing only: to set right the chaos.
Boom——
Infinite spiritual power within the Nascent Soul compressed and fused. Various elements intertwined……
Even light could not escape the pull of his Golden Core’s gravity.
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the few Union Realm Ancestors beside him, seeing the enemy move, also changed expressions slightly.
Yet they too acted—Manifestations, spells, and spiritual power burst forth in unison.
Who could have imagined that a matter concerning Su Qianhe would escalate to such an extent?
And in the eyes of those dozen Union Realm Ancestors, their victory was assured.
Could it be… that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator truly intended to overturn the heavens?
