Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The so-called Core Formation Stage was essentially the fusion of all spiritual roots to form a special golden core.

At that stage, whether it was the storage capacity or the quality of spiritual energy, it would far exceed that of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

In addition, Core Formation Stage cultivators had an advantage that Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators did not have.

That was the golden core condensed by a Core Formation Stage cultivator, which could stabilize the cultivator’s soul very well.

With a stable soul and outstanding spiritual energy, cultivators who had a golden core could cultivate some special divine soul methods.

Therefore, whether or not one could use divine soul abilities was actually one of the signs that distinguished Golden Core Stage cultivators from Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

However, this did not apply to Pseudo Core cultivators. Even though a Pseudo Core cultivator had a golden core, it was different from the golden core of ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivators.

The golden core of a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator was more like a crude product piled up with building blocks.

Although the golden core of a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator had a spiritual energy reserve that far exceeded that of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it did not have the effect of stabilizing the divine soul, so Pseudo Core Stage cultivators were unable to use divine soul abilities.

Therefore, although there was a huge gap between a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, the former did not overpower the latter.

What’s more, there were monstrous Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators such as Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan wasn’t boasting earlier about his power.

He, who had five Core Formation through the way of the heavens spiritual roots including metal, wood, water, fire, and wind as well with a current cultivation of level 4 of the Foundation Establishment Stage, had almost reached the spiritual energy storage equivalent to level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If Lu Yuan could complete the Core Formation through the way of the heavens with the yin, yang, lightning, and earth spiritual roots, he would be able to cultivate a level of spiritual energy comparable to a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator.

This was because the spiritual energy reserves of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator depended entirely on the quality of their spiritual roots.

A cultivator with multiple spiritual roots was equivalent to several cultivators with a single spiritual root.

Once Lu Yuan completed the Core Formation through the way of the heavens with nine spiritual roots, he would be equivalent to the combination of nine Core Formation through the way of the heavens cultivators with single spiritual roots.

This spiritual energy reserve was naturally not something that ordinary people could compare to.

And the spiritual power reserve was not Lu Yuan’s greatest confidence.

The reason why Lu Yuan was so confident that he could be on par with a Core Formation Stage cultivator was actually because of his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.

The essence of the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique was actually to release a portion of Lu Yuan’s divine soul.

After all, only a divine soul could harm another divine soul.

The biggest advantage of Core Formation Stage cultivators compared to Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators was undoubtedly that many of their divine powers could directly attack the soul of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

For Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who didn’t have divine soul techniques, this was undoubtedly a blow to their cultivation.

However, to Lu Yuan who had the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique, this advantage was equivalent to non-existent.

With the help of the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique, Lu Yuan’s current divine soul level had already reached the Emptiness Realm.

Most Core Formation Stage cultivators could reach the preliminary stage of that level.

With the advantage of the divine soul wiped out, the threat of Core Formation Stage cultivators to Lu Yuan would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

The final difference between him and a Core Formation Stage cultivator was spiritual energy.

As for soft power like divine powers, although there was a gap, it was not obvious.

All in all, Lu Yuan, who had an Emptiness Realm divine soul, was indeed difficult to defeat by those of the Core Formation Stage and lower.

As for those of the Core Formation Stage and above who had relatively few divine soul techniques, Lu Yuan could indeed be on par with them.

It was also because of this confidence that Lu Yuan dared to take the initiative to kill the crimson-red deity.

A monster that was forcefully condensed by the sacrifice of 30 Blood Warrior Monks’ lives looked terrifying, but it was just a facade.

Although the crimson-red deity had a physical body that far exceeded that of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, his techniques weren’t as many as that of Mu Qiqi, who was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Besides, the crimson-red deity was now heavily injured by Mu Qiqi’s Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword, and its cultivation had fallen to level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Such an opponent posed no threat to Lu Yuan at all.

In the palace, Lu Yuan swung his sword.

The sword qi condensed from the fusion divine ability, Formless Green Flame, flew in front of the crimson-red deity with a piercing sound.

Even at its peak, the crimson-red deity could not keep up with Lu Yuan’s speed.

Since the deity was also seriously injured, it could not dodge the sword at all.

Left with no choice, the crimson-red deity could only raise its remaining left arm to resist the attack.

The remaining 20 Blood Warrior Monks began to pour the last of their vitality and blood qi into the body of the crimson-red deity to allow the deity to reach its peak-tier state in a short period of time.

In an instant, the crimson-red deity’s left arm began to bleed.

Countless blood vessels expanded and appeared on the arm of the crimson-red deity, appearing very menacing.

Almost right when the crimson-red deity placed its arm in front of itself, Lu Yuan’s Formless Green Flame’s sword qi came crashing.

Whoosh!

The Formless Green Flame sword qi with astonishing power instantly slashed a deep wound on the crimson-red deity’s arm.

The wound was so deep that one could even see the bones of the crimson-red deity and the blood vessels and muscles that had been cut off by the sword qi.

However, such injuries were not fatal to the crimson-red deity.

As the blood qi in the deity’s body began to circulate to its arm, the wound on the crimson-red deity’s left arm began to recover rapidly.

But Lu Yuan naturally wouldn’t give it time to recover.

Once Lu Yuan made a move, he would definitely kill the enemy.

After the crimson-red deity lowered its left arm, it was surprised to find that Lu Yuan had disappeared in front of it.

The deity looked at the empty ground and began to anxiously search for Lu Yuan’s figure.

“Big guy, where are you looking at?”

The crimson-red deity suddenly raised its head and realized that Lu Yuan had appeared above its head at some point.

At this moment, Lu Yuan had once again completed the charging of the Formless Green Flame sword qi.

Lu Yuan held the Qingyun Sword, which was emitting a dazzling green light, in his right hand, and made a standard starting stance.

Under the crimson-red deity’s terrified gaze, Lu Yuan did not choose to use the sword qi to attack this time.

Instead, he turned into an afterimage and instantly arrived in front of the crimson-red deity.

The two of them were so close that they could even see their reflections in each other’s pupils.

“Big guy… Goodbye.” As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Qingyun Sword in Lu Yuan’s hand instantly slashed across the crimson-red deity’s neck.

Whoosh!

The fleshly body that the crimson-red deity was so proud of was useless at this moment.

A moment later, the crimson-red deity’s head flew high into the air.

A large amount of blood spurted out from its broken neck like a fountain.

Lu Yuan, who was bathed in the blood rain, did not leave immediately. Instead, he extended his empty left hand.
