I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Amidst the thick mist, a tall figure emerged.

It was a burly man, towering at ten feet, with muscles coiling like a giant tower.

His eyes had no pupils, only two blazing golden flames that looked extremely eerie. Yet, his aura was robust, unmistakably at the Early Stage Golden Core realm, and his mana was immense. Gu Yuan, with just a sweep of his divine sense, could tell that this person’s mana was at least a hundred strands more than his own, possibly already touching the threshold of Mid-Stage Golden Core.

In this secret realm, there still exists a living Golden Core cultivator as a guard?

”No, that’s not right...”

But upon another sweep of his divine sense, Gu Yuan sensed something unusual.

This Golden Core cultivator, though full of oppressive force, seemed to lack a divine soul.

Yet the towering man didn’t give Gu Yuan much time to think. He pointed a finger, and six beams of golden light suddenly shot out, attacking.

Only then did Gu Yuan see clearly that each golden light was a small golden saber as slender as willow leaves. Seven golden sabers appeared together, moving up and down with agility and spiritual nature.

Each golden saber was a low-grade treasure, but the seven together seemed to form a combined attack method, with great might, no less than any middle-grade treasure.

The air resounded with a tearing sound, carrying a mighty power.

With a thought, Gu Yuan’s Ruyi Golden Leaf spun and twisted, like a golden scroll slowly unfolding, protecting him within.

The Ruyi Golden Leaf, with the words Ruyi, could transform into myriad shapes and move at will.

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

For a time, the sound of clashing was incessant. Though the seven golden sabers were incredibly sharp, Gu Yuan’s Ruyi Golden Leaf was a middle-grade treasure, no ordinary object. The attack and defense dragged on for a long time, yet neither side gained the upper hand.

”Indeed, he’s a soulless person!”

”Is it a puppet, or some other method?”

Gu Yuan stood within the golden leaf, hands behind his back, for the moment not using other means, but slightly observing the giant before him.

This giant, commanding seven golden saber treasures, yet his aura remained undiminished, was undoubtedly Golden Core. However, during the magical combat, his continuity was very poor, mechanical, which was precisely the state of being without a soul.

”Ha!”

At this moment, the giant seemed to react. Seeing the golden light attacks bearing no fruit, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud shout.

Behind the giant, an enormous golden tiger shadow rose, its roar shaking the surroundings.

”Roar!”

A thick golden ripple spread in all directions, directly assaulting Gu Yuan’s divine soul.

”A soulless person also has Sound Dao techniques? Interesting!”

But Gu Yuan only chuckled softly, his divine thought surged, calmly taking the hit.

For an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator, this strike was a terrifying sound wave shaking the heart and spirit. Yet for his divine soul strength, comparable to Mid-Stage Golden Core, it was just a breeze brushing the face.

”Zheng!”

Then Gu Yuan flicked his fingers, and the golden Sword Pill instantly shot out, attacking the giant’s forehead.

On the Sword Pill, the golden firelight flickered like a great sun, possessing immense might.

Today, Gu Yuan originally thought he would encounter demonic cultivators, so before coming here, he specially transformed his cultivation technique into the Thunder Element Celestial Capital Scripture, which fits well with the Five Thunders Punishment Heaven Seal, being an excellent method to deal with demonic cultivators.

Unexpectedly, the demonic cultivator turned out to be Golden Core cultivators from the Sunset Glow Sect and Qingyang Temple.

But fortunately, even without the Golden Brilliance Great Sun Sword Scripture, the Golden Brilliance Great Sword Seal could still be used, though its power was slightly inferior.

”Boom!”

Though the giant was slow, he retained basic reflexes. Seeing Gu Yuan’s Sword Pill coming at him, the golden flames in his eyes flickered slightly, and then a dense golden light surged from his body.

His entire body suddenly turned golden, even his hair was radiant, flowing with golden light, as if he had become a golden statue, exuding an indestructible nature.

”Bang!”

Yet the sharpness of the Sword Pill far exceeded imagination. It was genuinely a high-grade Sword Pill, added with the Great Sun Golden Flame. The giant didn’t even let out a groan before his forehead was pierced, a dragon-eye-sized charred hole appeared in his head.

Through the hole, one could even see gray-white mist floating behind his head.

Even a Golden Core cultivator, receiving such a blow, would be dead without a doubt.

Even if not dead, the lingering Golden Brilliance Sword Qi would rampage within the cultivator’s body like a red-hot fine blade, causing great pain and making it impossible to summon mana to kill enemies.

Yet the giant before him, though his head was pierced and the Sword Qi raged within, the golden flame in his eyes still burned brightly, as if he wasn’t the one injured.

”Boom!”

The giant slapped the air with one of his large hands, and a golden palm descended from the sky, grasping towards Gu Yuan.

This golden palm, with distinct palm lines, closed its five fingers together, accompanied by sounds of wind and thunder, as if the surrounding world was about to be crushed within this palm.

”Ha!”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan uttered a soft shout.

The sound was tranquil, yet more vast and profound than the one the giant emitted. The void fell silent, and the golden giant palm in the air seemed to become stuck, unable to move.

”Bang!”

Then, amidst a violent explosion, it exploded loudly.

”Zheng!”

Amidst the explosion, a beam of golden light, twisting and turning, filled with intense light and heat, akin to a golden great sun, ferociously attacked the giant’s dantian.

The giant seemed to sense the danger. The golden flames in his eyes flickered rapidly, and strange spots of light appeared around him.

”Boom!”

Yet as Gu Yuan activated his mana and fully urged the Sword Pill, the extreme light of the Sword Pill surged another level, penetrating through everything with thunderous force.

Though he only had three hundred strands of mana, it was the Dragon Essence Golden Core, of exceedingly high quality, and when truly considered, far more robust than this giant’s mana.
