The usually quiet and gentle Little Dragon Girl, who stood by Hao Ren's side like a timid rabbit, suddenly widened her eyes.
Fierce and sharp cold light shot from her gaze!
Abruptly, Little Dragon Girl thrust out her palm, aiming for the crown of Hao Ren's head.
This palm strike contained ultimate power.
*Bang!*
Completely unprepared while cultivating, Hao Ren took Little Dragon Girl's palm strike directly on his crown.
Hao Ren's entire body trembled.
The next instant, Hao Ren felt an incredibly powerful and pure energy surging into his body from his crown.
This energy was gray, a manifestation of ultimate demonic power.
Hao Ren was startled at first.
Demonic power?
Had Little Dragon Girl recovered her memories and was trying to kill him while he was in seclusion?
No, that wasn't right!
Hao Ren quickly regained his senses and realized that this demonic power was not threatening. On the contrary, it radiated a gentle and 친화적 aura, seeming to aid him.
What was going on?
What did Little Dragon Girl want?
Hao Ren was filled with confusion.
The demonic power flowed along Hao Ren's meridians, heading downwards, and soon reached his dantian.
Inside his dantian, the "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" was about to form.
However, Hao Ren's "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" was impure and mixed.
Although he had shared Wang Tenglong's "Innate Thunder Seed" fortune and possessed the "Innate Thunder Spirit Root," he himself had "Five Elements Mixed Spirit Roots." Therefore, the "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" he was condensing contained not only Thunder true essence but also Metal, Wood, and Water true essence...
At first glance, Hao Ren's "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" looked quite beautiful, colorful and festive!
But those who knew understood that this kind of "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" was actually very weak. Its mixed nature destined it for limited achievements.
Hao Ren knew this "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" was not good, but he could do nothing about it. It was determined by his innate constitution. Unless he could somehow remove his "Five Elements Mixed Spirit Roots."
Heh, impossible!
How could spirit roots be removed?
As the gray aura entered Hao Ren's dantian, it was like fire igniting thunder, unstoppable, and Hao Ren's dantian began to boil!
Previously, Little Dragon Girl had massaged him almost every day, and with her massages, wisps of gray energy had infiltrated his dantian.
Now, all the gray energy surged up from every corner of his dantian.
The gray energy coalesced, rapidly transforming into a peculiarly shaped flying knife.
"Splitting Light, Settling Spirit!"
A majestic voice echoed from the depths.
Immediately, the gray knife began to hack down, seemingly from nowhere.
With each chop, a layer of Hao Ren's "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" was shaved off.
It hacked eighty-one times in a row.
Hao Ren's "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" noticeably shrank.
Instead of anger, Hao Ren rejoiced.
Good thing, a great thing!
The gray knife had severed all the impure spiritual energy. Now, the remaining "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea," though smaller, was incredibly pure. It glowed purple and condensed powerful lightning.
"Pure Thunder-Attribute Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea!"
This pure "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" was more than ten times stronger than the previous mixed one.
The Spirit Sea was formed!
As the purple "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" stood at the center of his dantian, an incomparably powerful pressure swept through, causing the entire dantian to vibrate slightly, with faint sounds of wind and thunder!
Hao Ren had successfully broken through. He had become a true "Foundation Establishment cultivator"!
His "Pure Thunder-Attribute Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" made him even more powerful than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. He had taken his first step on the path of a true powerhouse.
Hahahaha...
Hao Ren opened his eyes and burst into laughter.
This felt amazing!
"Little Dragon Girl, thank you!"
Hao Ren thanked Little Dragon Girl beside him. Without her help, he could never have removed the impure spiritual energy and condensed the "Pure Thunder-Attribute Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea."
Hao Ren looked at Little Dragon Girl.
He was shocked by what he saw.
Little Dragon Girl's face was pale, and she was swaying precariously, extremely weak.
Hao Ren quickly reached out and supported her.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Little Dragon Girl smiled weakly, "I'm fine..."
She managed to force a smile.
Seeing this, Hao Ren felt immense tenderness!
This silly girl must have consumed a vast amount of her origin power for him. Otherwise, as a Golden Core cultivator, she wouldn't be this weak.
Although Hao Ren didn't know what method Little Dragon Girl had used, any technique capable of purifying a "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea" must be an extraordinary divine ability.
Using such a divine ability would undoubtedly come at a great cost.
"Silly girl, I will repay you handsomely!"
Hao Ren vowed silently in his heart.
Suddenly, he realized something was amiss.
Right, "silly girl"...
Little Dragon Girl was one hundred and eighty years old. Not only could she be his aunt, but she could be the aunt of his aunt's aunt's aunt... Calling her "silly girl" was quite inappropriate!
No!
He didn't care!
In this situation, he had to display his "overbearing CEO persona." If he didn't call her "silly girl," how could he show his care and affection for her!
He was the overbearing CEO, endorsing himself!
...
As Hao Ren was lost in thought, he suddenly shuddered. An indescribable sharp pain erupted from his dantian.
What was happening?
Hao Ren's face paled with shock. He quickly channeled his true essence into his dantian to investigate.
He was stunned by what he saw.
Holy crap!
"True Demon Stone"!
The "True Demon Stone," which had been motionless for ten thousand years, was now "rioting."
The "True Demon Stone" flew out from the edge of his dantian and, with absolute dominance, hovered above Hao Ren's "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea."
*Swish, swish, swish!*
Black threads spread out from the "True Demon Stone," piercing fiercely into Hao Ren's "Foundation Establishment Spirit Sea."
The number of these black threads was precisely seventy-two.
Pain, pain, pain!
Extreme pain!
Hao Ren felt as if seventy-two red-hot irons were being simultaneously plunged into his body.
The agony was maddening!
I'm enduring pain that a person my age shouldn't have to bear!
Ahhhh!
Hao Ren screamed, his vision went black, and he collapsed, losing consciousness.
In his unconsciousness, Hao Ren experienced all sorts of bizarre and strange nightmares.
He dreamt of seventy-two "ugly-looking" monsters gathered around him.
These creatures should all have been ducks that had achieved sentience.
They squawked and chattered incessantly, arguing in a cacophony.
"Wahahaha, finally awake, finally free from the demon god's control, the free air is so fresh! In this moment, I can't help but want to sing a song: Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast..."
"Yo, brat, we meet again. Last time you blasted us with Primordial Violet Lightning, this time we'll impale you with True Demon Inheritance. You shouldn't have any objections, right!"
"Brat, congratulations, you've successfully become our 9527th slave. Come on, call me 'Daddy' first!"
"Oh, pervert, I don't want to be Daddy, I'm a girl! Brat, call me 'Mommy'!"
"Get lost! You hermaphrodite, get away! You're a girl? Didn't you just impale this brat with True Demon Inheritance? You seemed to be enjoying it, not like a girl at all!"
"Are you looking for a fight?"
"Oh, you want to fight? Come on!"
"Oh oh oh, it's a fight, it's a fight, quickly, everyone gather around and watch!"
...
