109: Breakthrough! Core Condensation Realm!
Early morning.
Sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting warm patches of light on the floor.
Chen Nian slowly opened his eyes; a brilliant flash of gold flickered deep within his pupils before vanishing.
He habitually looked inward at his own body.
Immediately, he clearly sensed a vast, ocean-like, unprecedented surge of Spiritual Power, like a sleeping Dragon slowly waking and flowing through his body.
This power was many times stronger than it had been before he Cultivate yesterday!
With a thought, the light blue System panel instantly unfolded before his eyes.

Looking at the information on the panel, Chen Nian's breathing hitched slightly, and a look of unbelievable joy erupted in his eyes.
Core Condensation Realm!
Third Rank!
Overnight, his Realm had actually jumped from Resonance Realm Level 40, leaping across 60 levels to step directly into the Third Rank Core Condensation Realm!
This speed of improvement was simply shocking!
Undoubtedly, this was not something that could be achieved through ordinary Cultivate.
Clearly, all of this was thanks to the terrifying boost brought by the Prison Suppressing Divine Body advancing to the Third Rank.
After his Prison Suppressing Divine Body broke through to the Third Rank, it seemed to have completed an ultimate leap in his life level.
The efficiency of perceiving, absorbing, and refining Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had reached an unimaginably new height.
Combined with the terrifying absorption efficiency of his Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art, this created the miracle of soaring 60 levels in one night!
As expected, this Prison Suppressing Divine Body was just too overpowered!
Chen Nian couldn't help but marvel in his heart, a satisfied arc curling at the corners of his mouth.
Now, his Physique and Realm were running side by side, complementing each other and forming an incredibly terrifying virtuous cycle.
This meant that from now on, not only his Physique but also his Spiritual Power Realm would improve at an astonishing speed!
At the same time, feeling the surging power within his body, Chen Nian clearly perceived a certain change.
The Spiritual Power in his body had become incredibly vast, and its texture was even more condensed and pure, containing power far exceeding the Resonance Realm.
His internal capacity had also become much larger.
His body felt like a lake that had been widened several times over.
Although the volume of water had surged, the lake bed was deeper and the surface wider, allowing for a higher limit of power to be contained.
What surprised him even more was that he clearly sensed that within his body, there seemed to have condensed an extremely tiny, yet brilliantly glowing, energy-dense...
Core?
Chen Nian sank his mind into it to sense it carefully.
It was a grain-sized, perfectly round crystal emitting a faint golden light.
This crystal seemed to be the "heart" and "hub" of his Spiritual Power, the source and destination of all his strength.
"Is this the 'Spiritual Core' of the Core Condensation Realm?"
Chen Nian suddenly understood.
According to the records of the Spiritual Energy Bureau, from the Third Rank Core Condensation Realm onwards, a practitioner would condense such a natal "Spiritual Core" within their body.
This was an extremely important milestone on the path of cultivation.
The Spiritual Core was the high-level condensation and sublimation of a practitioner's cultivation.
It not only allowed Spiritual Power to become more condensed and powerful, greatly increasing casting speed and potency.
More importantly, as long as the Spiritual Core did not shatter, even if the practitioner suffered serious injuries, they could rely on the Spiritual Core to recover quickly, greatly enhancing their survival ability.
It could be said that only after condensing a Spiritual Core could one be considered to have truly stepped onto the right path toward becoming a powerhouse.
Once the Spiritual Core was condensed, Spiritual Power would form its own cycle, endless and inexhaustible.
As long as the Spiritual Core did not perish, the Dao foundation would exist forever!
Feeling the stable and powerful energy fluctuations of the Spiritual Core, Chen Nian felt indescribable joy.
He had become stronger again, and he had taken a crucial step forward!
The tangible feeling of having this power in his hands made him intoxicated.
However, this was far from enough.
He had to become stronger, strong enough to crush everything, strong enough to control everything!
With his thoughts clear, Chen Nian collected his mind, preparing to start a new day of hunting.
His top priority was, of course, to hunt more Demonic Evils, obtain points, and thereby become stronger.
He picked up his personal terminal, skillfully unlocked it, and browsed the internal channels of the Spiritual Energy Bureau and the news headlines of Donghai City.
Sure enough, after a night of fermentation, his deeds of suppressing and killing the Sect Master of Xuan Lei Sect last night had completely ignited the entire internet.
The title of "god of war of donghai" had once again been pushed to the top of the trending lists on all social platforms, followed by a string of "Explosive" tags.
Video clips from various angles, blurry but still showing the intensity of the battle, were widely circulated.
The comment sections were filled with shock, worship, and awe, and some people had even spontaneously formed a fan club.
The internal channel of the Spiritual Energy Bureau was even more so; all Special Agents were discussing his battle achievements, their words filled with a sense of pride and deep awe.
After browsing for a while, apart from these messages, he didn't find any new events or high-value missions worth noting.
Chen Nian felt slightly bored and turned off the terminal.
It seems I have to go to the office to see if Sun Li has filtered out any new intelligence.
He got up from the bed, performed a simple wash, put on a capable casual outfit, pushed open the door, and walked towards the cafeteria.
In the early morning, the cafeteria of the Spiritual Energy Bureau headquarters was already full of Special Agents who had finished their shifts or morning exercises.
When Chen Nian's figure appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, the originally somewhat noisy cafeteria instantly fell silent for a moment.
All eyes were focused on him.
In those gazes, there was curiosity and inquiry, but more than that, it was a kind of heartfelt, almost instinctive awe and humility.
In the past few days, Chen Nian's deeds had already spread throughout the headquarters, and his image had become synonymous with a "human god" in everyone's hearts.
"Good morning, Special Commissioner Chen!"
"Good morning, Special Commissioner Chen!"
"Please, this way!"
After a brief silence, greetings erupted one after another.
Everyone's attitude was respectful to the extreme, and some even subconsciously made way for him.
Chen Nian's expression was calm; he had long been accustomed to this.
He nodded casually in response.
Then, he walked straight to the food service area, took some high-energy food and a light breakfast.
Afterward, he found a quiet corner to sit down and began to eat.
However, just as he was halfway through eatingβ
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A burst of urgent alarms suddenly sounded from his personal terminal.
It wasn't just his terminal; almost at the same time, the terminals of all the Spiritual Energy Bureau Special Agents in the cafeteria sounded with the same urgent alarm.
"Emergency intelligence!"
"It's a top-level emergency deployment order!"
"Where did something happen?"
People's expressions changed, they put down their cutlery one after another, and quickly took out their terminals to check.
Chen Nian also paused his actions and clicked on the emergency notification pop-up on the screen.
γ Emergency intelligence! γ
γ Location: Binhai District, Coastal Port, Warehouse Area No. 3! γ
γ Event: A large number of Demonic Evils have suddenly landed from the sea, are gathering on a large scale in the port area, energy reactions are climbing rapidly, and they have caused severe damage and casualties to port facilities and personnel. Their behavioral patterns are extremely abnormal, suspected to be organized, and the threat level is extremely high! γ
γ Requirement: All idle combat personnel, proceed to support immediately! Repeat, proceed to support immediately! γ
"Coastal port in Binhai District?"
"A large number of Demonic Evils coming from the sea?"
"Organized? What's going on here?"
The cafeteria was instantly filled with uncertain discussions.
People's faces became extremely solemn and nervous.
However, looking at the information on the terminal, especially the words "large number" and "organized," Chen Nian's mouth slowly curled up, revealing a smile full of interest.
He picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth unhurriedly.
"Interesting, the prey has finally arrived."
