Swallowing the golden core, Xiao Ai felt a conflicting force appear within her body.
"Xiao Ai, the Buddha-affinity Golden Core you swallowed clashes with your Heavenly Demon bloodline. You must now use your bloodline power to forcibly refine the golden core, or you will be in danger."
"Master, I!"
Xiao Ai hadn't expected this golden core to conflict with her bloodline and trembled inwardly.
"You must remain resolute. The potential of your Heavenly Demon bloodline is higher than that of the Buddha-affinity Golden Core. This is your opportunity, and your challenge!"
"Yes."
Xiao Ai understood there was no turning back now. If she failed, not only herself but even her elder sisters would suffer with her. She absolutely could not let that happen.
"Heavenly Demon Dismemberment!"
Xiao Ai, cooperating with the Blood Fiend Demonic Sword, circulated her Heavenly Demon bloodline. The golden core within her body sensed the bloodline power and began to resist.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Streams of golden light erupted from Xiao Ai's body, causing her immense pain.
"That girl's bloodline power is clashing with her golden core. It's over."
"The luck of people from the Ten Thousand Realms is terrible."
"The energy of this golden core is comparable to a hundred-stage Celestial God. This girl is in danger."
Many Chief God-level powerhouses also saw that Xiao Ai had fallen into a state of internal divine power conflict, which was extremely dangerous.
One wrong move could lead to qi deviation, not to mention the numerous enemies outside.
Just as Xiao Ai fell into crisis, Shui Hua had obtained the last golden core.
"Cangyun, help me!"
"Alright."
Cangyun circulated the Beiwang Divine Skill and infused divine power into Shui Hua's body.
All the golden lightning around Shui Hua was absorbed by the power of the Beiwang Divine Skill and entered Cangyun's body.
"Ah!"
Cangyun revealed a pained expression as these golden lightning bolts began to dismantle his cultivation.
But Shui Hua had no time to spare for him now; he could only refine the power of the golden core.
"Elder Yue, it's not good that Prince Shui Hua has gained benefits but isn't helping Prince Cangyun?"
"Elder Xu, this was Prince Cangyun's voluntary act. Moreover, Jin Wuzhu and Chu Ai have both swallowed golden cores. If they don't quickly refine them, Prince Cangyun and Prince Shui Hua will both fall into danger once they recover."
"This..."
Elder Yue's words were reasonable. Although Elder Xu was displeased, he could only accept it.
On the Celestial Ladder, Jin Wuzhu had largely completed the refinement of his golden core.
Xiao Ai, however, had fallen into the most perilous situation. The power of the Buddha-affinity Golden Core began to inflict immense damage on her Heavenly Demon bloodline.
"Master, I can't hold on much longer."
"Xiao Ai, use Bodhi power. Water Bodhi is gentle and can harmonize the golden core power and your Heavenly Demon bloodline within your body."
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Ai's heart suddenly cleared, and she rapidly circulated her Bodhi power.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
As the Bodhi power flowed through her meridians, Xiao Ai felt her body indeed improving significantly. The collision of the golden core's power against her Heavenly Demon bloodline was no longer so fierce.
"Now is the time! One surge, break through to the White-tier Celestial God!"
"Yes, Master!"
Guided by Ye Yun, Xiao Ai broke through the bottleneck. Her Heavenly Demon divine power suppressed the golden core's power.
The Buddha-affinity Golden Core finally disintegrated within her body, transforming into pure divine power and flowing through her meridians.
"Another hundred-stage Celestial God! Heaven favors me!"
"This is too crazy. Two hundred-stage Celestial Gods already! Unbelievable!"
"The last golden core has been obtained by Prince Shui Hua, and most of its destructive power was absorbed by Prince Cangyun. Now Prince Shui Hua can easily refine this golden core."
Amidst the excited gazes of everyone, Shui Hua also refined the final golden core, achieving the hundred-stage Celestial God.
Three hundred-stage Celestial Gods!
On the Celestial Ladder, with the emergence of three hundred-stage Celestial Gods, other forces completely lost their ability to contend for treasures and retreated.
"Indeed, these are the geniuses of a Level Nine Great World."
"And the people from the Ten Thousand Realms, this dark horse rising, is not to be underestimated."
"To be able to contend with the three major powers, the potential of the Ten Thousand Realms is truly astonishing."
The Celestial Gods of the Rogue Cultivator group all withdrew from the battlefield, leaving the core battle to the geniuses.
"Xiao Ai, you succeeded! That's wonderful."
Lin Xueyan and the other women flew towards Xiao Ai. They embraced each other, filled with joy.
"Esteemed Senior Sisters, Junior Sister, with Master's guidance, I succeeded."
"Heh heh, as expected, it was Master's help."
"This is great. With Xiao Ai's talent, once she achieves the hundred-stage Celestial God, she will be comparable to a Chief God. No one will be her match."
The sisters gathered together, their previous tension gone, as they fully trusted Xiao Ai's strength.
"Mountain God, the three golden cores have now found their owners. Are there any better treasures?"
Since the three golden cores were taken, and the objective of contention was gone, Jin Wuzhu looked to the Mountain God to inquire.
"Hahaha, you've just swallowed a Buddha-affinity Golden Core and you're already seeking new treasures. You are quite greedy."
"Mountain God, without greed, how can one improve?"
"Good kid, you have ambition. Since that's the case, this venerable one will give you three hundred-stage Celestial Gods an opportunity. Presenting the final treasure of the Celestial God group: the Shennong Cauldron, which can automatically refine any pill."
"Shennong Cauldron!"
Upon hearing these three words, everyone was shocked.
This was a legendary treasure surpassing divine artifacts. As long as medicinal ingredients were placed inside, the Shennong Cauldron would automatically refine the desired pills. The variety of these pills was immense, and they could even refine high-quality immortal pills, making them exceptionally precious.
"Then, please, Mountain God, bestow the treasure."
"As you wish!"
The Mountain God's eyes released golden light, piercing the peak of Xuan'ao Peak. A jade platform, carrying the Shennong Cauldron, descended from the heavens.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Three figures simultaneously charged towards the Shennong Cauldron. The others made no move, for they knew very well that before the hundred-stage Celestial Gods, their strength was insignificant.
"Holy Emperor Palm Print!"
"Cold Moon Illuminates Water Prison!"
"Heavenly Demon Sword Qi!"
The three simultaneously unleashed their divine skills and abilities, bombarding the others.
Above the void, divine power intertwined, and might surged.
The power of the three hundred-stage Celestial Gods rapidly tangled, exploded, and dissipated.
Having swallowed the Buddha-affinity Golden Core and merged it with his own Indestructible Golden Body Divine Skill, Jin Wuzhu's cultivation remained invincible. Facing the divine skill attacks of the other two hundred-stage Celestial Gods, he did not dodge but met them head-on!
These divine power impacts on Jin Wuzhu felt like mere tickles.
"Hahaha, two beauties, your power is a bit weak."
Jin Wuzhu laughed heartily, taunting Xiao Ai and Shui Hua.
"Bastard, you're as good as dead!"
Shui Hua retorted fiercely, while Xiao Ai ignored him, her gaze fixed intently on the Shennong Cauldron.
"Cosmic Shifting Technique!"
Xiao Ai's figure moved instantaneously, traversing the void, and arrived directly before the Shennong Cauldron.
"Hmph? You want to take advantage? Not so easy!"
Jin Wuzhu instantly sensed Xiao Ai's position. His Indestructible Divine Fist descended furiously!
