Chapter 562 - 235: Flawless Golden Core (Part 5)
If he couldn’t manage it, he didn’t plan on delaying any longer.
Behind him, the Celestial Gate in the void was already showering down golden light, and the purest spiritual power from within the gate was continuously pouring into his Dantian.
Shen Wen’an didn’t want to waste too much time, so as not to delay his inner core condensation.
A full-scale battle erupted between the two sides.
The members of the Shen family and the cultivators in the city, right below the battle, couldn’t see the specifics of the battle; they could only feel waves of terrifying aura blossoming above the dark clouds overhead!
Around Yunshui City, those Southern Border cultivators similarly felt the aura of battle spreading across the sky.
Each and every one of them was shocked and horrified.
Among them, many had heard stories of Underworld beings killing those who broke through to Golden Core Cultivators.
But they had never before seen a Golden Core Cultivator dare to confront Underworld beings head-on.
The last time Shen Wen’an dealt with Fu Yang and another Underworld being, the battle ended too swiftly; they merely assumed the commotion was the anomaly of breaking through to Golden Core.
But this time was clearly different; obviously, a terrifying battle was happening above Yunshui City!
The heavenly phenomena triggered by the battle made torrential rain fall on the thousand-mile perimeter surrounding Yunshui City!
Terrifying thunder roared within the clouds!
Below, within the city, Shen Chongming felt the Thunder Power in the void, and after his gaze flickered, he directly transformed into a streak of lightning and shot upward!
"Chongming!"
"Brother!"
"Brother Ming!"
Below, the members of the Shen family, witnessing this scene, all shouted in shock!
"Don’t worry, I have a grasp on the situation!"
In the void, Shen Chongming’s voice called out as he vanished into the thick dark clouds.
He didn’t rush to the top of the clouds in one go.
The battle happening there wasn’t something someone of his level could participate in.
If he rashly went there and affected his third uncle Shen Wen’an, he would become a sinner to the Shen family.
Coming up this time was only because a great accumulation of Thunder Power had gathered within these clouds, which was a rare opportunity for him.
If he could absorb and refine all this Thunder Power, perhaps he could reach the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm in one go!
Sitting cross-legged in the thick clouds, feeling the lively Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power around him, Shen Chongming immediately held his breath and focused, beginning to operate the "Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record"!
The reason true techniques are superior to righteous techniques is firstly because true techniques can directly lead to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
Secondly, true techniques are more efficient at absorbing spiritual power, and the circulation speed of spiritual power within the body is faster than with righteous techniques.
Once the "Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record" began operating, Shen Chongming’s body transformed as if into a terrifying vortex, devouring all the Thunder Power in the surrounding clouds!
Thus, when the cultivators below in Yunshui City looked up at the sky, they saw an immensely terrifying scene!
Countless streaks of lightning flickered within the clouds covering a thousand-mile radius, sweeping towards Yunshui City!
A massive gathering of lightning and thunder converged from all directions into the clouds above.
Some cultivators with exceptionally sharp eyesight could vaguely see between the flickering thunderclouds a cross-legged figure.
The figure was surrounded by flickering lightning, akin to a deity of the Nine Heavens Thunder God.
Meanwhile, the battle atop the clouds also reached its climax.
The Underworld being had already been forced into revealing its true form by Shen Wen’an.
Only, the true form of the Underworld being this time was clearly different from the previous one.
The previous Underworld being transformed into a hideous and ferocious monster.
But this time...
Shen Wen’an gazed at the strikingly beautiful two-zhang tall woman before him, clad in armor akin to dark scales, furrowing his brows.
Though her height was somewhat terrifying, her appearance and figure were exceedingly graceful.
Like a human race beauty magnified several times over, her captivating presence remained unaffected.
The woman, having transformed into her true form, saw her combat power soar instantly.
Normally, even if Shen Wen’an attained the Golden Core Sword Immortal Realm, he might not be her match.
But his use of the Supreme Profound Light-Splitting Sword with the Sword Bone Magical Sword left this Underworld woman restricted.
The two hundred fifty-six Sword Bone Magical Swords, resembling white jade, formed an inescapable circle around the Underworld woman.
Significantly hindering her attack rhythm.
Shen Wen’an watched the Underworld woman temporarily trapped at a distance, his expression grave.
He knew very well that dragging on in this manner was not a solution.
The opposing side’s power was too strong; once the Celestial Golden Nature descended, the Underworld woman would undoubtedly attempt to seize it!
Should she succeed in snatching the Golden Nature, his path of cultivation would come to an end.
For this lifetime, he would only be able to remain a Void Core Sword Cultivator.
"I must devise a plan..."
Thinking to himself, Shen Wen’an narrowed his eyes slightly, immediately recalling the two hundred plus Sword Bone Magical Swords.
As the Sword Bone Magical Swords disappeared, the tall two-zhang Underworld woman with a head of white hair finally caught a moment’s respite.
Though her strength was markedly greater than Shen Wen’an’s, the presence of the Sword Bone Magical Swords caused her considerable discomfort.
Seeing Shen Wen’an suddenly withdraw, the Underworld woman hesitated to attack.
"I may not be able to handle you now, but just wait a moment longer—when your Golden Nature descends, let’s see how long you can maintain your arrogance!"
Watching Shen Wen’an across from her, the Underworld woman smiled coldly in her heart.
When the Underworld strikes, their primary goal is seizing Immortal Golden Nature; killing is merely incidental.
If circumstances dictate, even if unable to kill, simply snatching the Golden Nature completes the task satisfactorily.
