Chapter 68: Under the Golden Elixir, I am Invincible

Chapter 68: Invincible Below the Golden Core

As the System’s prompt sounded, Jiang Li immediately noticed changes in his body.

Zzzzt… Zzzzt… Zzzzt…

Dazzling electric arcs surged around him, gradually spreading, then growing increasingly intense and turbulent. In his Divine Sense, the surrounding air seemed to explode, with thousands of hair-thin electric flashes appearing and disappearing in an instant.

The next second.

Jiang Li’s body began to elementalize, transforming into a streak of purple lightning that roared in the Void Realm, vanishing from his original position.

In just a fleeting moment, he had already leaped a thousand meters.

His speed was as fast as lightning.

Jiang Li was startled.

Is this the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Body borrowed from the Cultivation Technique, the Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra?

It’s a bit too strong.

He remembered that the old version of the Ten Directions Thunder Hell Demon Subduing True Scripture had a record: this sect-founding Cultivation Technique cultivated the Thunder Spirit Body during the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Body.

In other words.

This was undoubtedly a Golden Core-level method.

And one that could only be mastered after reaching Major Achievement in the Golden Core Stage.

The System suddenly borrowed such a large debt, which made him a little flustered.

If he encountered a Nascent Soul Stage enemy next time, would the damn Cultivation Technique not help him borrow Nascent Soul-level power?

Jiang Li immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Before the next demon-subduing mission, he definitely needed to investigate these matters thoroughly.

He didn’t want to be sitting at home only for debt to fall from the sky.

Amidst his muttering.

Jiang Li, whose body was being controlled by the Cultivation Technique, had already escaped tens of thousands of miles.

As far as his eyes could see, he could already spot the back of the palace-dressed beautiful woman. Her back was torn open, revealing a pair of Golden Winged Vicious Tiger wings, which could span seven or eight hundred meters with a single unfurl.

Her extreme speed was displayed to its fullest.

Suddenly.

The palace-dressed beautiful woman trembled, turning her head to look at the humanoid purple lightning behind her.

“It’s you, you killed my son.”

The palace-dressed beautiful woman, who initially thought Zhang Song had caught up, first showed a bitter smile. After seeing it was Jiang Li, the golden vertical pupils in her eyes instantly narrowed into slits, and a look of resentment covered her Face.

Jiang Li did not speak.

Responding to the Manor Mistress was his outstretched palm.

A dazzling purple lightning violently erupted, like an enraged Dragon, striking down, tearing through the sky, and directly hitting the back of the palace-dressed beautiful woman.

The wound instantly turned scorched black.

Wafts of black smoke rose.

The palace-dressed beautiful woman let out a painful groan.

Her gaze towards Jiang Li became even more malevolent.

Her eyes were even tinged with a layer of bloodlust.

“For Big Brother Zhang’s Face, I’ve tolerated it again and again, but don’t push your luck. My husband and I have protected Jiangzhou for decades, teaching our Disciples to slay demons and monsters. Shenhuo Mountain Manor accounts for at least half of the credit for Jiangzhou’s current stability. By what right do you judge us?”

Jiang Li remained silent.

He simply continued to unleash lightning.

Thick bolts of lightning poured down as if they were free.

The sky trembled.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

As if a storm was about to arrive.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The palace-dressed beautiful woman was greatly alarmed.

She curled the five fingers of her slender arm, and streaks of blood-colored Protective Aura, like blood claws, swung out, colliding with the purple lightning and creating an explosion.

Amidst the rolling smoke and dust.

The palace-dressed beautiful woman did not linger.

She turned and prepared to retreat.

She knew how strong Zhang Song’s true strength was; her husband would not be able to hold on for long. Only by completely leaving Jiangzhou and the Piaomiao Dynasty could she hope to survive.

But…

This young man was equally troublesome.

With a Cultivation Base in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, he caught up to her, who had transplanted the body of a Golden Winged Vicious Tiger, and he also cultivated lightning techniques that made even her feel a sense of dread.

Such a Prodigy was more than just a little stronger than they were in their youth.

Just as the thought arose.

Another finger-thick bolt of lightning shot out from the smoke and dust.

It struck her shoulder directly.

“Why are you chasing me relentlessly? Is it just because I accidentally ate a few people? Can’t this small matter be tolerated given my decades of Karma?”

The palace-dressed beautiful woman questioned again.

She had already restrained herself greatly.

Why couldn’t she be given another chance?

This time.

Jiang Li finally typed a few words.

“The primary culprit deserves execution.”

That’s right.

The main culprit who caused Shenhuo Mountain Manor to become a demon’s den was the Manor Mistress before him.

She was the first to choose to become a demon. Ji Changming discovered this, was unwilling to accept his mediocre Aptitude, and also chose to walk this path, further expanding it, causing the entire Shenhuo Mountain Manor to fall.

Furthermore, even knowing that her son had committed such a great sin, she still chose to ignore it due to her guilt and shame, which led to the current situation.

Because of this.

The mark of sin above the Manor Mistress’s head was dark red, almost black.

Upon hearing this.

The palace-dressed beautiful woman trembled all over.

Her eyes were filled with pain.

Because she couldn’t Breakthrough to the Golden Core, her Heart Demon acted up for a time, and she accepted the demon body from the Yinkui Sect, causing Shenhuo Mountain Manor to become such an unhuman, unghostly place. She indeed could not escape the blame.

“Since that’s the case, then I shall experience the strength of Big Brother Zhang’s esteemed Disciple.”

With that said.

The golden vertical pupils in the palace-dressed beautiful woman’s eyes completely turned into a murderous intent.

Her wings spread.

Her figure suddenly flickered above Jiang Li.

Her palm transformed into a tiger claw, covered in blood-colored Protective Aura, and fiercely struck down towards Jiang Li.

This palm strike would cripple or kill anyone below the Golden Core Stage.

Jiang Li didn’t even look.

More violent lightning surged around him, converging at one point, forming a pillar of electric light and thunder, striking towards the opponent.

The majestic and fierce lightning touched the tiger claw, immediately exploding on the spot, causing the Manor Mistress’s tiger claw to crack open, with blood gushing out.

Jiang Li turned.

Another lightning pillar shot out from his palm.

It directly struck the palace-dressed beautiful woman.

Bang.

With a roar.

A voluptuous figure heavily fell.

Crashing back into Shenhuo Mountain, creating a pit.

Splashing up large amounts of dust.

Jiang Li arrived in an instant.

Standing above the pit.

Jiang Li watched.

Secretly clicking his tongue.

Borrowing first and then repaying still had its merits.

According to his normal strength range, based solely on the Cultivation Technique, the Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra, his true combat power barely reached the Foundation Establishment Peak. He could handle a decaying Elder, but against a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator in good condition who had also fused with a demon body, he was no match.

But after borrowing the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Body, his strength instantly reached the Golden Core-level.

Any casual lightning strike possessed Golden Core-level combat power.

This feeling of borrowing power in advance was really good.

No wonder so many people liked to borrow money.

Just as he was thinking.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The palace-dressed beautiful woman lay on the ground, barely alive.

She let out a tragic laugh, a large amount of blood overflowing from her mouth.

“The younger generation is truly formidable. Big Brother Zhang is incredibly fortunate to have found such an upright Disciple as you. However, a personality like yours will cause you trouble. We were once so spirited and ambitious, but under the great power of the demonic sects, the Golden Iron Triangle could only disband. Big Brother Zhang even lost an arm for it, and his Heart Demon is hard to dispel. With your nature, you will sooner or later become a public enemy of the demonic sects. I hope your ending will be different from ours.”

“As for the execution, you don’t need to bother.”

With that said.

The palace-dressed beautiful woman slapped her chest.

She spat out another mouthful of murky blood, completely losing her breath.

The Cultivation Technique watched expressionlessly.

Jiang Li, however, sighed wistfully.

Why are you rewarding him?

Your phrase “public enemy of the demonic sects” is almost the most moving love confession for a Qi Refinement practitioner.

At this moment.

A cold, mechanical electronic voice sounded.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique, the Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra, has once again solidified its belief: killing is saving the world. If the wicked are made to fear, there will be no bad deeds in the world. This belief has received feedback from heaven and earth, bestowing Karma.】

【Thunder Qi progress +100%.】

Immediately.

The Thunder Qi in Jiang Li’s third kidney Thunder Palace was instantly filled. The fourth Thunder Seed opened in the spleen Thunder Palace and was also instantly filled halfway.

At this point.

Jiang Li’s lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen all condensed Thunder Seeds.

His Thunder Qi surged.

His magic power greatly increased.

His seven-colored liquid magic power increased to 70 drops.

A profound aura filled his limbs and bones, making his heart rejoice.

Jiang Li regained control of his body.

After thinking for a moment.

He sourced materials on the spot, carved a wooden coffin, placed the palace-dressed beautiful woman’s body inside, and closed it.

Just then.

A sound like a hurricane approached.

Jiang Li turned to look, only to see Zhang Song arriving on his sword.

Upon seeing Jiang Li safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, thinking that his beloved Disciple must be sad now, he comforted him: “Sister Liu is a well-known Foundation Establishment Cultivator who has also fused with a demon body. Her true strength is no weaker than a Half-Step Golden Core. You’ve only recently reached Foundation Establishment, so it’s normal not to be her match. Give you a few more years, and old guys like us will definitely be surpassed by you.”

Jiang Li said humbly.

He pointed to the coffin on the ground.

“Teacher, I was lucky and won.”

This simple sentence, however, deeply shook Zhang Song’s heart.

Won?

Can his Disciple now even deal with a Half-Step Golden Core level opponent?

What kind of Prodigy had he taken in?
