Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: Sweeping Through

A blue jewel floated above the Green Tail Wolf’s head, exuding a mighty and magnificent pressure wherever its light shone.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice traces of golden light interspersed among the blue radiance emitted by the jewel. noveldrama

"That...that’s the Green Tail Wolf’s Golden Core?"

"The Golden Core, constituted by condensed Spiritual Energy, is considered the second life of a Golden Core Realm martial artist or spirit beast!" "Ten of the Green Tail Wolf’s Spirit Cores can’t compare to its Golden Core!"

"If one could refine that Golden Core, one’s cultivation level would advance by leaps and bounds!"

"What is the Green Tail Wolf planning to do by spitting out its Golden Core?"

"I’ve heard that a Golden Core can be used to fend off enemies! It’s extremely powerful!"

"What is there to fear? The Green Tail Wolf is already on its last legs! Besides, with hundreds of us martial artists working together, why should we fear it?"

...

The sight of that floating jewel wrapped in intertwined green and golden glows caused turmoil among the hundreds of martial artists present.

Some knowledgeable Foundation Establishment Experts, upon seeing the Green Tail Wolf spit out the Golden Core, sensed danger and quickly retreated.

However, more experts, unaware of the Golden Core’s might, instead immediately thought of the immense benefits it holds for martial artists’ cultivation, showing greed and longing in their eyes, advancing rather than retreating.

In martial arts cultivation, after Foundation Establishment comes the Golden Core.

When martial artists or spirit beasts in the perfected stage of Foundation Establishment comprehend the deeper and more mysterious Heaven and Earth Dao and accumulate purer and more abundant nature’s spiritual energy, corresponding changes occur within their Qi Sea.

In the Qi Sea of a Foundation Establishment martial artist, Spiritual Energy condenses into form, existing in the shape of a Lotus Platform.

Once a Foundation Establishment martial artist or spirit beast advances to the Golden Core Realm, the Lotus Platform in their Qi Sea, formed of Spiritual Energy, turns from gas to liquid, rapidly condensing, eventually forming a Golden Core the size of a fist, like a small sun suspended within the martial artist’s or spirit beast’s Qi Sea.

Though small, a Golden Core contains incredibly astonishing energy. Whether martial artist or spirit beast, once they summon the Golden Core as an ultimate move, unleashing the Golden Core Power, their strength can abruptly increase several times, delivering a devastating blow to the opponent.

Of course, Golden Core Realm experts or spirit beasts also have a more fearsome move: the dreaded "Self-Detonation."

When pushed to the brink, aware they are doomed, a martial artist or spirit beast can directly detonate their Golden Core, unleashing horrific and terrifying energy, perishing together with their opponent. This is "Self-Detonation."

If summoning a Golden Core to fend off enemies is the ultimate move of a martial artist or spirit beast, then detonating the Golden Core is a death-defying technique.

Yet such a tragic and fierce act of self-annihilation, whether for a martial artist or a spirit beast, is a move that won’t be used unless there is no other choice.

The Green Tail Wolf, in retaliation against the martial artists attacking it, spat out its Golden Core, preparing to use it to fend them off. Fang Bai was the first to realize the danger.

However, they were on a hill over a kilometer away from the Green Tail Wolf; even if the Green Tail Wolf unleashed the Golden Core Power, they would at most only be caught by its residual force, not threatening their lives.

"Buzz!"

The Golden Core hovering above the Green Tail Wolf’s head suddenly started spinning at high speed, emitting a buzzing sound.

The sound instantly spread over several miles, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble due to the impact of the sound waves.

All the martial artists, including Fang Bai, felt a wave of dizziness in their minds when they heard the buzzing sound.

Next, the Golden Core emitted a splendid brilliance, dazzling and radiant. The brightness of the golden brilliance far overshadowed the green glow of the Wood Spirit Qi, expanding outwards.

Wherever the golden brilliance shone, an invisible but powerful force spread with it, sweeping like a torrent, roaring like mountains and seas, shattering boulders, and turning grass and trees into nothingness.

The hundreds of martial artists attacking the Green Tail Wolf only sensed the intense and deadly crisis upon them when the golden brilliance spread, and it was too late to retreat.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

The martial artists enveloped by the golden brilliance couldn’t withstand the impact of that invisible and powerful force, and their bodies suddenly exploded, turning into blood mist that scattered all around.

Even those who had been alert and retreated early couldn’t escape the embrace of the Golden Core’s brilliance, their bodies turning into a sky full of blood mist.

Standing on the hill, Chang Shan, Sun Lin, and the others looked on dumbfounded as the blood mist in the battlefield burst like fireworks, knowing it represented the fall of martial artists.

Sun Lin and several disciples of Lingxu Palace personally witnessed their senior brother and Inner Court disciple Ye Xiong, like leaves swept up by a fierce wind, rise into the air and then explode violently.

The Golden Core’s brilliance, reaping the lives of hundreds of martial artists like the scythe of death, instantly spread to the front of the hill where Fang Bai and others stood.

Panic and despair rose in the hearts of Chang Shan and the others.

Except for Fang Bai.

Even powerful Foundation Establishment experts were turned to dust under the Golden Core’s brilliance. How could they, these Half-Step Foundation Establishment and initial-stage Foundation Establishment weaklings, possibly survive the Golden Core’s brilliance?

"Don’t panic! Protect your body with Spiritual Energy!"

With a loud cry from Fang Bai, Fire Primordial Qi instantly condensed around him into a crimson shield.

Among the ten of them, Huang Zhong was the weakest; Fang Bai knew that with his strength, he couldn’t withstand the Golden Core Power’s impact, so he expanded the crimson shield to protect him as well.

Chang Shan, Sun Lin, and the others, initially at a loss, instinctively gathered Spiritual Energy upon hearing Fang Bai’s shout, forming a shield around themselves.

Their protective Qi Shields had just formed, and the next moment, the Golden Core’s brilliance struck like raging waves.

As Fang Bai anticipated, within a kilometer of the Golden Core Power’s dispersion range was the most fatal, and no Foundation Establishment expert could escape disaster.

But by the time it reached them, the Golden Core Power was only a residual wave, insufficient to threaten their lives.

Despite this, when the residual wave of the Golden Core Power roared and struck their protective Qi Shields, it still instantly shattered those shields, flinging them away.

The ten of them flew high into the air and landed heavily, their internal organs violently shaken, their blood surging, causing them to pass out on the spot.

Following the fall of hundreds of martial artists, the battlefield within a few miles fell into dead silence.

The Green Tail Wolf stood atop a large rock several feet high, letting out a long howl to celebrate its victory.

Afterward, it reabsorbed the Golden Core back into its Qi Sea, its ghostly green eyes scanning the battlefield before turning and darting into the distant forest.

If anyone were watching the Green Tail Wolf at this moment, they would notice not only the victor’s pride in its eyes but also its severe exhaustion and fatigue from overexertion.

Shortly after the Green Tail Wolf disappeared, Fang Bai abruptly leaped to his feet from his "unconscious" state. After glancing at the truly unconscious Sun Lin and others and confirming they would awake soon, he then swiftly pursued in the direction where the Green Tail Wolf had left.
