99: Chapter 99 Core Formation!

Purple Heaven Divine Thunder entered the body, thoroughly refining the Bloodline.

From this moment on, the Black Bear Shi Jian no longer existed in this world, only the Thunder Bear!

The newborn Bloodline resonated perfectly with the heaven and earth qi; the transformation of the Demon Core was now a natural progression, without any obstruction.

The third stage, Core Condensation.

For him, it felt as natural as breathing.

That solid Demon Core core, compressed to its limit, began to spin and reconstruct rapidly under the embedding of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

On its originally smooth surface, mysterious Innate Lightning Runes began to appear, resembling imprints of the Dao.

The formation of each lightning rune caused Shi Jian's aura to surge significantly!

Boom!

When the ninth lightning rune was completely formed, the Demon Core suddenly shook, all its radiance retracted, becoming completely natural and seamless.

A 'Purple-Gold Thunder Core', with purple-gold arcs of electricity coiling around its entire body and nine runes flowing upon it, hung silently within his Dantian Qi Sea.

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding Foundation Establishment and suppressing all things, erupted from within the Thunder Bear!

Level 5 Demon General!

Comparable to a Human Race Golden Core Master!

"It is done!"

Shi Jian let out an extremely joyful laugh, laughing with such madness that he possessed not a shred of a righteous image.

It is done.

Shi Jian slowly opened his eyes. What a pair of eyes they were!

They were no longer the vertical pupils of a beast, but two pools of pure purple-gold lightning—indifferent, majestic, devoid of any emotion, as if a deity from above the Nine Heavens was looking down upon the ants at its feet.

He felt the unprecedented, surging power within his body and bared his massive jaws.

"Roar—!"

With a roar, the sound waves transformed into tangible lightning rings that swept outwards!

The indestructible Lightning Attraction Array shattered inch by inch like glass under this roar, broken in a single thought!

"The... the array is broken!"

Sun Yao was shocked, but then her expression changed abruptly, revealing wild joy!

"The Old Ancestor has successfully achieved Core Formation!"

"It is done!"

The next moment, a despair-inducing purple-gold thunderbolt instantly tore through the sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble!

Wherever the lightning passed, space distorted, and all things melted away.

Beneath the thunder, those attacking Cultivators didn't even have time to react before they were instantly vaporized by that Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, not even leaving behind a trace of ash...

This scene could not be described in words.

Six Foundation Establishment Cultivator had their bodies and souls destroyed on the spot, dying without leaving a single trace; living people had just melted away like ice and snow under the thunder...

Not a single trace of their existence remained.

It was as if these people had never existed in this world at all!

The entire battlefield instantly fell into an eerie silence.

The remaining Black-robed Cultivators all froze in place, the greed and madness on their faces replaced by endless fear and shock.

Only then did they realize.

That Demon Bear had actually succeeded in Core Formation, and its speed was so fast that they had no time to react at all.

"This..."

"Golden Core... this is definitely a Golden Core!"

"Run... must run fast!"

"How can I die here!"

The leader of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was now terrified, his liver and gallbladder split; his pride-and-joy bronze bell Magical Artifact was already covered in spiderweb-like cracks from the aftermath of the previous breath attack.

Escape!

This was the only thought in his mind!

Without thinking or caring about anything else, he turned and fled into the distance; he didn't need to run fast, just faster than the others.

However, he was fast, but Shi Jian was faster.

The massive Thunder Bear merely waved its sharp claws casually.

"Swoosh!"

A condensed, ultimate purple-gold lightning claw streaked across the sky, starting later but arriving first, instantly catching up to that figure.

"No!"

The leader let out a desperate roar, holding the cracked bronze bell in front of him.

"Clang—!"

The bronze bell let out a piercing wail; that top-grade Magical Artifact was torn into two halves by a single claw, serving no purpose at all...

The remaining power of the lightning claw did not diminish, passing directly through the leader's chest.

The Cultivator stopped abruptly.

The leader looked down, staring in disbelief at the huge hole in his chest, his life force fading rapidly...

"I am not reconciled!"

As his voice fell, his body carbonized bit by bit, and eventually, the corpse completely turned into flying ash as it fell, scattered between heaven and earth by a gentle breeze.

Shi Jian didn't even glance at it; such a lowly existence like an ant.

He had no interest whatsoever, and his purple-gold lightning pupils slowly swept over the remaining Black-robed Cultivators who were already completely terrified.

At this moment, they finally understood what kind of existence they had provoked.

This was not a siege.

This was a one-sided slaughter!

"Run!"

Someone let out a shrill scream, and the remaining seven or eight Cultivators scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing frantically in all directions.

"Did I, this seat, let you leave?"

Shi Jian snorted coldly, raised his claws towards the sky, and tore fiercely!

"Thunder Prison."

Rumble!

Above the sky, the thunderclouds that had not yet dispersed seemed to receive an order, instantly raining down hundreds of thick purple-gold divine thunderbolts!

These divine thunderbolts did not strike anyone, but intertwined in mid-air, forming a massive lightning cage covering a radius of ten miles, enclosing all the fleeing Cultivators within!

"No! Let me out!"

"Spare me! Old Ancestor, spare me!"

Desperate roars and pleas for mercy echoed one after another in the Thunder Prison.

Shi Jian ignored them.

He took a step, his massive body appearing before a Cultivator, and in that person's terrified gaze, he slammed down a claw.

Flesh and blood turned to mud.

He took another step, appearing behind another person; lightning flashed, and that person directly turned into charred ash...

This was no longer a battle.

This was a hunt, a ruthless harvest like a cat playing with a mouse.

On the Main Peak.

Elder Rat trembled all over, not from fear, but from extreme excitement, letting out bursts of shrill, wild laughter.

Shi Mo stood upright, beating its scarred chest and letting out a heaven-shaking roar, cheering for the birth of the new king.

Shi Pan and the Thunder Badger prostrated themselves on the ground, offering the humblest respect.

Sun Yao stared blankly at the white god-demon who was strolling leisurely in the Thunder Prison, harvesting lives, her heart filled with endless shock and awe.

Is this... the true power of the Old Ancestor?

A moment later.

In the Thunder Prison, only one figure remained.

That Puppet of "Sun Boan" that was being controlled.

Shi Jian walked up to him, looking down from above.

"Are you done acting?"

"Sun Boan"'s body stiffened, a flash of struggle appearing in his hollow eyes, and then a wisp of jet-black Divine Soul shrieked as it darted out from his crown, trying to escape.

Shi Jian snorted coldly.

Lightning transformed into an invisible hand, grabbing that wisp of Divine Soul in its palm.

"Yan Qiu's person?"

"Ahhh!" The Divine Soul let out a shrill scream in the lightning, unable to break free.

Shi Jian did not ask again; the lightning in his palm flashed, directly crushing and devouring that wisp of Divine Soul.

After finishing all this, he slowly raised his head, his purple-gold lightning pupils piercing through the clouds, looking toward the distant horizon, the direction where the two Golden Core Masters were fighting.

"Yan Qiu..."

"You are next, this seat will surely kill you!"
