Chapter 87: Isn’t It Normal for Me to Produce a Golden Core with Every Breakthrough?!
Rumble rumble...
Within the Forbidden Land of Taixu, a violent surge of energy once again rippled outward—this time far more terrifying than before.
The Spirit Dragon, who had planned to return to slumber after Li Tianwei had stopped causing trouble and left, suddenly shuddered as it sensed that horrifying wave of energy.
It instantly raised its head and looked into the distance, its gaze filled with familiarity—familiar aura, familiar fluctuation.
“How is it happening again...”
Seeing this, the Spirit Dragon’s face was full of dejection and exhaustion.
Its once majestic draconic form now seemed more like that of a limp earthworm.
It wasn’t really the dragon’s fault—after all, it had slept for tens of thousands of years.
Times changed; that was normal.
“Forget it... whether the Forbidden Land of Taixu is destroyed or not, it has nothing to do with me.”
The Spirit Dragon flopped back down, its expression weary as if utterly broken.
In its eyes now, even the world’s destruction was no big deal.
Meanwhile, Li Tianwei, who was condensing his Golden Core to establish his Golden Core Position, had no idea what kind of terrifying sight his breakthrough appeared to be in the eyes of other beings.
At this moment, his only thought was to forge the strongest Golden Core possible—one that could contain fusion energy.
That required a stellar environment—pressure, temperature, and mass, all raised to the limit.
Having gone through this once before, Li Tianwei already had a clear plan.
Accumulating energy through ordinary means would take far too long, but Li Tianwei was no longer who he used to be.
Just as yesterday’s self was no longer today’s self.
After transcending and enlightening countless Celestial Souls, he had condensed a hundred types of Dao Intents from their scattered thoughts.
This wasn’t just an increase in power, but an evolution in his understanding of energy and its operation.
As for this so-called Golden Core Position—just a basic definition.
Since it existed, why not prove it?
To Li Tianwei, the Golden Core was merely a step in the process, a managerial formality.
But thinking about it that way, simply proving the Golden Core Position seemed too ordinary.
As a protagonist, his Golden Core naturally had to be something extraordinary.
The so-called act of “walking one’s own Dao” might sound grand, but if his “fusion-star Golden Core” was only that, it would be utterly lackluster.
No—his Golden Core had to be truly unique, a path completely his own.
Yet even that wasn’t enough.
If he was going to do it, he had to make it bigger.
So, Li Tianwei came up with an excellent idea—to directly inscribe his one hundred Dao Intents onto the Golden Core itself.
One hundred Dao Intents would become one hundred engraved patterns.
When he unleashed his Golden Core, not only would it possess the might of a star, but also the crushing authority of a hundred Daos—power that suppressed others through sheer force of will.
Now tell him—which was stronger? A conventional Golden Core Position, or this?
In terms of execution, Li Tianwei dared to claim first place.
With that thought, he immediately began.
At this moment, Li Tianwei once again displayed his talent for multitasking—controlling the fusion reaction while breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.
The chaotic energies of the Forbidden Land of Taixu erupted violently under his control, their activity surpassing anything before.
The power was raging—just as he wanted.
These volatile energies needed to keep generating kinetic force, the more frenzied, the better.
Only then could they converge together.
As they merged, the energy grew exponentially.
As the near-infinite fusion power formed, Li Tianwei guided it directly into his body without hesitation.
Meanwhile, he gathered Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Reaching the Golden Core Realm was as natural as flowing water for him—but the condensed Golden Core needed to be overwhelmingly powerful.
Rumble rumble...
“Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao!”
“Increase for me—”
Without hesitation, Li Tianwei began using every possible Cultivation Method that could enhance his power.
Through various methods of increasing cultivation, he forged pseudo-cores—each representing a different technique, each forming a different type of Golden Core.
To create a Golden Core with stellar-level pressure, mass, and temperature, the simplest approach was compression—relentless compression.
He continually fused and compressed these pseudo-cores to their limit, drawing the power of fusion into them again and again.
Rumble rumble...
Fortunately, with the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, Li Tianwei was able to endure it all and utilize countless cultivation methods for enhancement.
One after another, bizarre Golden Cores appeared within his body.
With every method that pushed him into the Golden Core Realm, a new core would form within him.
Then he would revert back to the Foundation Establishment Realm—repeating the process endlessly.
“Breaking through a realm and condensing a Golden Core each time is perfectly normal.”
To Li Tianwei, this was fully consistent with the Law of Conservation of Energy—merely a conversion of forces.
He didn’t know how many times he had repeated this process, but eventually he sensed only chaos within.
Further forging yielded no effect.
So he began compressing—compressing without end.
Then, the hundred Dao Intents manifested before him.
“Kill, Death, Evil, Resentment, Extreme, Bliss, Purity, Land, Sorrow, Despair, Slaughter, Five Elements, Five Transformations...”
The hundred Dao Intents revolved, compressing the ultimate Golden Core even further.
The sea of star-like Golden Cores under Li Tianwei’s control began to collapse, energy pouring inward.
Just as he had said earlier, his cultivation boosts through secret arts were indeed real—otherwise, how could all these Golden Cores exist?
The starry sea compressed, chaos was drawn in, Li Tianwei continually absorbed and condensed.
Fusion Core.
Hundred-Intent Rings.
This was the Golden Core Path as Li Tianwei understood it.
As compression and fusion continued, violet lightning coiled around him, and immense waves of energy rippled through the entire Forbidden Land of Taixu.
The energy there was immense and unstable, creating the perfect fusion environment.
Because it was uncontrollable, a chain reaction began to spread.
Otherwise, even with Li Tianwei’s strength, he couldn’t have influenced the Forbidden Land itself.
Now, he had completely linked himself to this fusion form.
The Golden Core was slowly taking shape.
Normally, a Golden Core breakthrough would summon heavenly tribulation, but due to the Forbidden Land’s restrictions, none appeared.
The twisted fusion energy kept merging, triggering a storm that engulfed the entire Forbidden Land of Taixu.
Rumble rumble...
Strange phenomena appeared across the forbidden land.
Dao Intents swirled, and the ultimate frenzied energy coursed throughout the realm.
Power backflowed, pouring into Li Tianwei’s body.
He became like a funnel, absorbing everything completely.
Li Tianwei was a thrifty man—he made sure not to waste even a single drop, draining it all dry.
To forge a star-like Golden Core through infinite fusion required massive energy—but once the core was complete, it would no longer need any.
“Condense...”
Li Tianwei formed a hand seal and abruptly opened his eyes.
A ray of golden light shot forth.
In an instant, the entire area fell silent.
Time and space froze.
Around Li Tianwei, distortions appeared, as if the world itself were collapsing inward.
Such a scene could only be caused by the warping of absolute mass.
