Chapter 271

Lu Yang had now entered a rather mysterious state; he felt that his perception of the outside world had greatly decreased, and he could only feel the Jin Dan stage cultivators attacking him, while places further away became blurry.

Contrary to this, the fog in his dantian became shallower and shallower; it seemed that as long as he pushed aside the fog, he could see what the halo behind the fog was.

A demonic beast with a tiger's head and a dragon's body pounced on Lu Yang; this was a Tiger Jiao that lived in water for a long time, a late-stage Golden Core, which could temporarily move on land; this was specifically brought out of the lake by the Puppet Grass to hunt Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sensed the Tiger Jiao's attack and gently spat out a mouthful of Samadhi True Fire, which attached itself to the Green Edge Sword.

The already sharp Green Edge Sword, added with the Samadhi True Fire, was even more powerful than before.

The Tiger Jiao roared and charged at Lu Yang; Lu Yang twisted his wrist and gave a light shout of "Break," the Green Edge Sword swept past, and the Tiger Jiao's head rolled to Lu Yang's feet, with an enticing barbecue aroma at the severed part.

This was the "Break Character Technique," whose power was not as great as the "Shatter Character Technique" that drained most of his spiritual power, but it could be used continuously, and its power against a single target was a few points stronger than the "Slash Character Technique."

The Puppet Grass still wanted to control the Tiger Jiao's corpse to attack, but Lu Yang had anticipated this long ago and activated the "Break" character technique again, hacking the Tiger Jiao into eight pieces.

Another demonic beast took the opportunity to appear at Lu Yang's feet; it was small in size, had three feet, and was shaped like a soft-shelled turtle; it held sand in its mouth and sprayed it at Lu Yang's shadow.

It was a Yu, which could contain sand and shoot shadows, poisoning enemies to death through their shadows.

Lu Yang had been keeping his spiritual sense open and had long noticed the Yu's small movements; he poured sword Qi fiercely into the Green Edge Sword, and the Samadhi True Fire on the sword surged, igniting a raging fire, instantly changing Lu Yang's shadow.

Lu Yang poked backhand, piercing through the Yu's hard, dark green shell, and stabbed it to death.

A Ba snake and a Fei Yi appeared on both sides of Lu Yang; both were ancient demonic beasts, and the two demonic beasts looked similar, both snake-shaped; they attacked at the same time, wanting to entangle Lu Yang and strangle him to death.

Lu Yang drew a circle on the ground to act as a prison, dragging the Ba snake into the ground, and he himself also shrank into the ground; it was inconvenient to use the Green Edge Sword underground, so he covered his hands with true fire and attacked with the Luo Han Fist; the fist imprints were brilliant, the soil turned into scorched earth, and the Ba snake didn't even have a chance to react before its dantian was shattered by the Luo Han Fist.

Lu Yang drilled out from behind the Fei Yi, and while taking a Great Restoration Pill to restore his spiritual power, he used the Green Edge Sword to split the Fei Yi in two.

"I don't believe it, so many Golden Core stage cultivators still can't take you down! You're just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, stop struggling, die for me!" The Puppet Grass panicked and had to use loud speech to cover up the panic in its heart.

Whether it was the Tiger Jiao or the Ba snake, these were its trump card slaves; they all had huge potential during their lifetimes and were nourishment second only to Lu Yang, but now they were all killed by Lu Yang's smooth and flowing movements.

It felt that Lu Yang was becoming stronger step by step, his control over power was more proficient, his movements were more light and coherent, his fighting style was increasingly ingenious, and he could achieve victory at the minimum cost.

This change must be stopped!

It shifted its focus from the Decayed Fairy to Lu Yang, splitting off more demonic beasts to besiege Lu Yang.

The Decayed Fairy noticed Lu Yang's change, and a smile appeared on her lips involuntarily.

More and more demonic beasts attacked Lu Yang, either being killed by Lu Yang or having their dantians shattered by the Luo Han Fist.

Correspondingly, Lu Yang's physical condition was also getting worse and worse; continuous use of sword techniques and the Luo Han Fist consumed his spiritual power rapidly, and even taking Great Restoration Pills constantly couldn't keep up with the speed of spiritual power consumption.

Several Jin Dan stage cultivators even severely wounded Lu Yang; his left arm was fractured, and his abdomen and back were slashed several times, with the deepest wounds revealing white bones.

He was covered in blood and staggered when he walked.

If this continued, he would soon die of exhaustion, and the Puppet Grass's wish would be realized.

This was originally a good thing, but the Puppet Grass couldn't be happy.

It noticed that Lu Yang had more and more wounds, but his eyes were as bright as the moon, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark dense forest.

"What are you laughing at! What are you laughing at!" the Puppet Grass roared; it felt that Lu Yang was mocking it.

Yes, Lu Yang was laughing, and he was laughing very happily.

"Why can't I laugh? A bunch of Jin Dan stage cultivators swarmed up, yet they couldn't defeat me, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator; shouldn't I be happy?"

"Am I too strong, or are these Jin Dan stage cultivators too weak?"

Lu Yang walked toward the Puppet Grass step by step; because his injuries were too severe, he almost fell several times, but even so, it made the Puppet Grass terrified.

The Puppet Grass frantically let the demonic beasts attack Lu Yang together, not caring whether it could control them precisely; even if it meant crushing him, it wanted to crush this human prodigy to death!

Lu Yang didn't even have the strength to hold his sword and used his ordinary fists to deal with the demonic beasts one by one, wanting to squeeze out the last bit of strength.

At the same time, the fog in his dantian became shallower and shallower.

Or rather, it wasn't that the fog became shallower, but that the fog was absorbed by the halo behind it, making the halo become more and more perfect.

Lu Yang had a feeling in his heart and guessed the source of the fog: "Is it the combat experience I accumulated from challenging opponents of higher levels in the dense forest?"

Lu Yang's body was undergoing changes bit by bit; the wounds on his abdomen and back gradually healed and scabbed over, his broken left arm was miraculously reattached, and his essence, energy, and spirit were unified, like a torch burning fiercely, and new fuel was constantly added, making the torch of essence, energy, and spirit burn higher and higher.

The fog was completely dispersed, revealing the true face of the halo—it was a Jin Dan with a full elixir color.

This Jin Dan was extremely mysterious; its appearance represented invincibility, and with a slight rotation, it swept away Lu Yang's fatigue.

Lu Yang felt endless power surging out; this power was too vast, and it was no longer something that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could possess.

Under the scouring of this power, the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage was easily washed away.

Jin Dan stage!

"Yazi, kill him!"

A majestic demonic beast stood out from the crowd of Jin Dan stage cultivators; it was the demonic beast Yazi, with a jackal's body and a dragon's head, born from a dragon and a jackal, holding a precious sword in its mouth and glaring at Lu Yang.

This was a great demon comparable to the Nine Infants and was a hegemon of the dense forest, but in front of the current Lu Yang, it was not enough.

Lu Yang extended his index and middle fingers, pressing them together, turning them into an extremely sharp sword phantom.

"Go."

The sword phantom swung down and then disappeared.

Yazi glared at Lu Yang, and an extremely fine blood line appeared on the top of Yazi's head, extending all the way to its tail.

Lu Yang blew a breath gently, and Yazi split in two, falling to both sides.

This sword phantom alone had power that surpassed Lu Yang's strongest "Break Character Technique"!

"You've broken through to the Golden Core stage!" The Puppet Grass looked at Lu Yang in disbelief; all the previous shocks combined were not as great as this one; it had never heard of such a breakthrough method.

Lu Yang ignored the Puppet Grass's shock; the current Puppet Grass no longer posed a threat, and he was studying the Golden Core he had just formed.

"This Golden Core seems to have many mysterious aspects that I haven't discovered yet, and it's not recorded in ancient books; in other words, this Golden Core is unique; I should give it a name... I've got it, let's call it the Primordial One-Qi Elixir!"

Just as Lu Yang finalized the name of the Jin Dan, the Decayed Fairy's pleasantly surprised voice rang in his ears.

"Isn't this this Immortal's Invincible Elixir!"

"Lu Yang, you kid are hypocritical; you say you absolutely won't form my Jin Dan, but in your heart, you still think this Immortal's Invincible Elixir is the most suitable for you!"

The Decayed Fairy solved the demonic beasts surrounding her, poked Lu Yang with her elbow, winked at him, and smiled brilliantly.

Lu Yang: "... What the hell?!"
