Chapter 278: Chapter 242: Golden Core! Golden Core! (Double Length)_2

"Go!"

Yet, Gu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, and he merely uttered a soft command once more.

Fifty-five streaks of sword light propelled by Gold-Attribute Magical Power shone brilliantly to the extreme, nearly surpassing the limits of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, rising skyward to face the Thunder.

"Boom!"

However, the heavenly majesty of Thunder was vast and boundless, and despite Gu Yuan’s sword light being so potent, it still could not sever the Thunder.

The Golden Bamboo Sword let out a mournful cry, akin to ordinary iron, fell to the ground, losing all Spiritual Light.

"Ha!"

Gu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, but at the moment the Golden Bamboo Sword hit the ground, he suddenly let out a loud shout.

The shout carried authority, resonating with the Power of Heaven-Earth, and in the moments of illusion, it seemed an Ancient Strange Beast lay coiled upon the green stone, whose roar could repel the Celestial Tribulation.

"Bang!"

But Thunder Power, how could it be underestimated? No matter how terrifying the Sound Dao, it could not shatter it.

Thunder fell in an instant, striking Gu Yuan harshly.

"Crack!"

However, where Gu Yuan once stood, there was now no trace of him, replaced by a blue giant ten zhang tall.

Its muscles coiled and frosted breaths issued forth, with skin covered in blue Dao Patterns, mysterious and peculiar, as if a mythical being walking forth from Ancient Times.

"Is this... the Star Spirit?"

The observers were slightly stunned, but then those with broad knowledge exclaimed in surprise.

Yet, despite the transformation into a Star Spirit, it could not withstand Celestial Thunder Power, even after Gu Yuan had weakened it with various methods; it remained immensely fierce, beyond what ordinary Foundation Establishment methods could counter!

"Boom!"

Dazzling thunderbolt light crashed down suddenly, striking Gu Yuan’s chest, where the Dao Patterns on his skin quickly dimmed and vanished in an instant.

"Moo! Moo!"

The Star Spirit, fused with Gu Yuan, let out painful cries, reverting to its original form and plummeting onto the green stone, charred all over.

Dazzling thunderbolt light continued to strike mercilessly at Gu Yuan, seeming intent to thoroughly pulverize his physical body.

The hearts of the observers were clenched tightly.

Junior Martial Uncle Huo was defeated by this single wave of Celestial Thunder.

"Clang!"

Yet amid the thunderbolt light, a sound of metal striking echoed.

On the green stone, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, bare-chested, with brilliant golden light rising from the skin, illuminating his entire body, as if cast from bronze and iron.

The final wave of thunderbolt light, after multiple weakenings, had ultimately diminished in power, facing this sort of "Golden Body" physique, it reluctantly dissipated, dispersing into strands of thunderbolt light, vanishing between Heaven and Earth.

"He made it!"

"Senior Brother Gu overcame the Celestial Thunder!"

"Well done, well done!"

The observers cheered in unison.

The True Disciples like Shu Tianzhi clenched their fists tightly, their expressions shocked.

Apart from those harboring truly vile thoughts, not one among them wished for Gu Yuan to fail.

If Gu Yuan were to perish, who else could overcome this Celestial Tribulation?

At this moment, seeing Gu Yuan steadily endure two waves of Celestial Thunder, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But it wasn’t over yet.

While the thunderbolt light had dissipated, the tribulation clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed.

In the Void, unseen by all, a wisp of red flame suddenly appeared in Gu Yuan’s Dantian, burning towards his Primordial Core.

Heart Fire Tribulation.

This fire arose within, specifically burning the magical power within one’s Primordial Core; if it couldn’t be withstood, one’s entire magical power would immediately turn to ashes, and then the physical body and soul would also be completely scorched, leading to soul obliteration.

"Boom!"

Initially, the Heart Fire was just a wisp, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a raging blaze, engulfing Gu Yuan’s Primordial Core with its intense heat.

"Boom!"

Gu Yuan’s Primordial Core shrank instantly, with countless magical power incinerated to nothing by the Heart Fire.

For an ordinary cultivator, in just this moment, the Primordial Core would already have turned to ashes, vanishing without a trace.

But Gu Yuan practiced three types of magic simultaneously, his magical power deep, and his Primordial Core was three times larger than that of others. Despite the Heart Fire’s burning attempts, the core shrank but did not extinguish.

Moreover, within the Primordial Core, strands of gray Thunder Liquid flowed out, enveloping the core like a transparent membrane, significantly weakening the Heart Fire’s power.

"Bang!"

The Heart Fire came fast but also dissipated quickly.

In a few breaths, it failed to incinerate Gu Yuan’s Primordial Core, and thus faded into rootless water, disappeared without a trace.

"Boom! Boom!"

But above the sky, the tribulation cloud grew increasingly substantive, the black lead clouds swirling with what seemed like anger.

"Senior Brother Gu has overcome the first wave of Heart Fire Tribulation!"

Outside Purple Sun Peak, the crowd looked at the ink-like dense tribulation cloud in the sky, shouting uncontrollably.

The heavier the tribulation cloud grew, it signaled that the ordeal had reached its final stage, also the most perilous moment.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, quietly with closed eyes, yet his heart and spirit remained focused within.

"Boom!"

Just then, a golden flame erupted out of nowhere like a golden lightning bolt, hacking straight towards Gu Yuan’s Primordial Core.

The scorching golden flames were terrifying, and in just an instant, Gu Yuan’s Primordial Core shrank by two-thirds, leaving only a sliver away from having all his magical power turned to ashes, destroying his foundation entirely.

"Thunderfire Golden Body Seal!"

But with a thought, Gu Yuan activated a Dharma Seal in his Dantian, where a lightning-fire entwined seal gleamed brilliantly, encasing his entire body in splendid golden light.

The appearance of the seal turned his Primordial Core to a pale golden hue as if casted in copper; the Heart Fire scorching against it seemingly unfazed.

"Boom!"

Yet the Heart Fire quivered sharply, shining brightly, expanding several times in size, as the golden flames surged, continually licking at the Primordial Core, bit by bit melting it.

"Such trivial Heart Fire, how can it stop me!"

"Today, I will undoubtedly form the Golden Core!"

Gu Yuan, seeing this, remained unalarmed, instead revealing a fierce expression.

"Golden Cauldron Seal!"

With a thought, Gu Yuan activated a seal within his Dantian; a small seal resembling a Golden Cauldron abruptly appeared, hovering beside the Primordial Core.

"Shoo!"

The emergence of the Golden Cauldron immediately produced strong suction, directly absorbing two-tenths of the fiery Heart Fire from thin air.

The Heart Fire dimmed instantly, and its speed of licking at the Primordial Core swiftly decreased.

At this moment, Gu Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, standing up, no longer seated cross-legged, nor focusing on the internal variations of the Heart Fire, but instead looking towards the tribulation cloud in the sky and the crowd outside Purple Sun Peak.

"Today, ascended high as Heaven and Earth expand wide, viewing the spring scenery leisurely,"

"Despite the difficulty of Thunderfire Celestial Tribulation, I shall wield the sword to cast the Golden Core!"

Gu Yuan shouted loudly, then took out a golden vial and swallowed it whole.

Golden Thunder Liquid!

The golden liquid entered his gut swiftly and entered into the Dantian, like a torrent of Thunderfire rain, pouring directly on the Primordial Core and Heart Fire.

The already dim and struggling Heart Fire reluctantly exerted its last effort, licking Gu Yuan for the final time, before dispersing into strands of flame and vanishing into nothingness.

"Boom!"

The tribulation cloud in the sky suddenly changed color, transforming rapidly into a golden cloud, floating atop the peak.

The thunder roared, resounding throughout the Daoist School.

This time, no longer was it devastation but delivered with an immortal aura, filled with intense life force.

A stream of golden light descended from above, directly onto Gu Yuan’s Dantian.

"Splash!"

Immediately, the Spiritual Qi over Purple Sun Peak stirred violently, with endless Spiritual Qi rushing like tides, like a Flood Dragon, submerging Gu Yuan in an instant.

Countless purple Spiritual Qi rolled, akin to a vortex, enveloping without cease.

Yet within Gu Yuan’s Dantian, seemed like a deep abyss, like a black hole, absorbing inexhaustibly, unable to be filled.

As time passed, in his Dantian, the dull, small Primordial Core began to shine with golden light.

Initially, just specks, subsequently growing brighter, until finally reaching dazzling brilliance, resembling a golden Great Sun rising within Gu Yuan, illuminating Heaven and Earth.

Heaven and Earth suddenly burst bright, with clouds breaking apart, and it seemed as if the entire world consisted solely of this singular golden light.

Everyone watched on this scene dumbstruck, eyes fixed, fearing missing a single detail.

At this time, a young Daoist with a slightly weathered look in his eyes and a four-winged green insect on his shoulder finally arrived outside Purple Sun Peak.

Yet atop the peak, golden light shone in all directions, illuminating Heaven and Earth, and a faint immortal aura began to spread.

"The lord’s accomplished it!"
