83: Chapter 83 The Second "Golden Core," the Demon Core!

Looking at the multiple rewards harvested this time, Gu Qingge simply took the Great Demon Pill out of his spatial backpack.

Then, he swallowed it directly.

As the Medicinal Pill gradually dissolved, streams of continuous Devilish Qi released from within it.

Gu Qingge's body conjured a dazzling, phantom image of a Heavenly Demon.

Like the myriad phenomena of the universe, like a wild battle shaking heaven and earth.

With one stance, he could tilt the vault of heaven!

With one burst of majesty, he could shake the universe!

In this world, he was the actual ruler; nothing changed with time, nothing shifted with circumstances, and nothing could be altered!

Suddenly, Gu Qingge's cultivation Realm also began to rise slowly but steadily with the continuous accumulation of Devilish Qi.

Middle Stage of the Golden Core Stage!

Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage!

Upon stepping into the Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage, he could have relied on his sheer, courageous momentum to break through the Bottleneck and push his strength to the Peak of the Golden Core Stage.

However, he chose not to do so.

Instead, he resolutely withdrew his Devilish Qi inward, intending to form a core!

That's right, he wanted to condense a second "Golden Core"!

Similarly, this method of forming a core was vastly different from an ordinary Half-step Golden Core Stage Cultivator advancing to the Golden Core Stage.

This was using Devilish Qi to form a core, tempering the unfathomably formidable Devilish Qi throughout his entire body.

The entire process was also of great benefit to him.

However, due to the rise in his Realm, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue, who was frequently paying attention to this area from the side, couldn't help but look over in surprise.

"Is the speed of his cultivation Realm's rise really this terrifying?"

Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue lightly covered her red lips with her delicate hand, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable wonder, and even hiding a trace of inexplicable joy.

Judging by the current situation, they were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, riding in the same boat.

Whether they lived or died, whether they showed their power to the world or fell to their deaths, it all depended on Gu Qingge, not her, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue.

Gu Qingge becoming powerful was absolutely the reality she most wanted to see.

"The Heavenly Demon Emperor Body, the Heavenly Demon Saint Body, and even the Heavenly Demon Dao Body."

"If there is a Heaven-Defying opportunity, there might even be a slight chance of touching the threshold of the Immortal Demon Body."

"You really have given me quite a few surprises!"

Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him calmly, suddenly feeling that her decision was exceptionally correct.

As Gu Qingge's Devilish Qi gathered, crackling sounds echoed from every bone and limb in his body, and the brewing of Spiritual Qi increased accordingly!

"Is this... a sign of condensing a Golden Core?"

Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, unable to understand why Gu Qingge, who already possessed the strength of the Golden Core Stage, would still form a core at this point in time.

Could it be that he had never been in the Golden Core Stage cultivation Realm all along?

That was highly unlikely.

According to the information she had gathered previously, Gu Qingge already possessed the strength of a Half-step Golden Core Stage before rescuing Sect Master Min Qingrou.

By now, it was impossible for him not to have a Golden Core.

Then there was only one other possibility: he wanted to condense a second Golden Core.

"Is he really that crazy?" Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue murmured, her gaze blank.

In the cultivation world, it wasn't that no geniuses had ever thought of this path, but those who succeeded through it were extremely rare.

Moreover, it was worth noting that this extreme rarity referred to the geniuses who tried, not including mediocre, low-level Cultivators.

Because of this, failing to charge for a second Golden Core would inevitably mean that the disaster of death would descend upon oneself.

"I hope you can succeed."

"Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

"I've only just given myself to you without reservation, and yet I might immediately become a widow. How could that be acceptable?!" Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue whispered.

"If you truly are a heaven-sent Genius, an incomparably powerful existence who dominates the ages, then you will definitely succeed."

Meanwhile, Gu Qingge, situated in the center of the area, was fully focused on condensing his Demon Core.

The effect of this Demon Core was far stronger than the normal Golden Core he had condensed before!

Precisely because of this, the difficulty and time required for him to condense it were far greater than what he had spent back then.

Spiritual Qi soared like a giant dragon, surging and gathering from all directions.

Gu Qingge's cultivation also changed accordingly.

His entire cultivation of the Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage vanished as if sinking into the vast ocean.

His Realm and strength became just like when he had first stepped onto the immortal path.

First level of Qi Refining.

Second level of Qi Refining.

...

Ninth level of Qi Refining.

Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

As an invisible shackle snapped and shattered, Gu Qingge's cultivation breakthrough, which had been stuck for over ten seconds, resumed its previous trend of skyrocketing wildly.

Only this time, the wild surge was no longer in the Qi Refinement Stage, but the Foundation Establishment Stage.

First level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

...

Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Half-step Golden Core Stage!

Within his body, the sound of another shackle breaking rang out.

As the Demon Core entered the Golden Core Stage, he seemed to be entangled in infinite killing karma; any single one of them could blast an ordinary person into the Hell of the abyss of Reincarnation, never to escape in this lifetime.

However, the wild surge of his cultivation Realm did not linger for long because of this.

Early Stage of the Golden Core Stage!

Middle Stage of the Golden Core Stage!

Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage!

This time, upon reaching the Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage, it felt as though he had reached the end of his resources.

Therefore, even if he wanted to forcibly expend energy to raise his strength to the Peak of the Golden Core Stage, it was something he simply could not do.

A brief moment later, the Demon Core was officially formed!

The effect of the Demon Core was equivalent to a Golden Core.

Yet when it came to actual value, for demonic Cultivators, the prestige and popularity of a Demon Core were beyond words.

Just at this moment, a cold wind suddenly rose all around, sweeping past.

A great opportunity!

In the shadows, Vice Sect Leader Leng Langyuan, the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, gradually revealed his figure and suddenly launched an attack upon seeing Gu Qingge's Demon Core take shape.

He felt that this moment was when the opponent's will was most relaxed, and also the time he was most likely to succeed.

And his purpose on this trip was to either succeed or die trying.

Either he would slay Gu Qingge and Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue on the spot, or he would be counter-killed by them.

Other than that, barring any accidents, there was no third outcome.

"I was waiting for you to show up!"

Suddenly, Gu Qingge opened his eyes, sharp as gold, with a lethal aura following his shadow.

Endless demonic majesty instantly surged over like a violent storm.

"How could you have been on guard beforehand?" Vice Sect Leader Leng Langyuan's body stiffened, filled with inexplicable shock.

He had once cultivated a technique specifically designed to conceal his aura, and it was precisely because of this Cultivation Technique that he possessed the superb abilities of a natural assassin.

Often, the battle results achieved by utilizing this move were exceptionally brilliant!

Yet, today, all of this was shattered.

At this point, if he still didn't realize that this was a trap to lure the snake out of its hole, then he really would have lived in vain.

Judging solely by the opponent's expression, everything was within Gu Qingge's grasp.

In other words, Gu Qingge was not afraid of his sneak attack or desperate attempt at all.

He was just waiting for him to strike, so he could launch a counterattack and slay him here.

"Even so, so what?"

It was also at this very moment that his thought of dying for his cause suddenly changed.

If he knowingly walked into a trap meant to torture and kill him, he wouldn't have been able to Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage Realm strength he possessed today.

"I might not be able to beat you, but if I want to escape, can you even catch up to me?"
