Chapter 312: Five Elements Extinction Sword

Inside the Cosmos Abode, on the surface, Li Fan was merely sitting cross-legged quietly, just like during his usual seclusion.

In reality, heaven-shaking changes were taking place within his body.

The black-and-white Golden Core entirely swallowed those various types of power within the Dantian vortex, strengthening itself.

As time passed, the vortex gradually grew smaller.

Meanwhile, the Golden Core became increasingly dense and spiritual.

Its appearance became more and more rounded, and the black and white colors on its surface flowed faster and faster.

When the vortex was completely swallowed, and the black and white finally merged into one within this extreme speed,

a wave of fluctuation erupted from it, instantly sweeping across the Dantian and then spreading throughout Li Fan's entire body.

Wherever the fluctuation passed, all the chaotic energy lingering throughout his body during the Core Formation process completely vanished.

All turmoil returned to peace.

This fluctuation swept around a circle and rapidly returned,

carrying along the Spiritual Qi scattered throughout his body and the Calamity Body in the Dantian used to store cultivation base.

The ball of light transformed by Huan Zhen also followed this fluctuation, turning into a wisp of clear light and plunging into the interior of the Golden Core.

Completing the final puzzle piece, Li Fan's Golden Core finally completely took shape.

The Golden Core fell into absolute stillness in an instant, and then a dazzling radiance was emitted from it,

illuminating his entire body and even interrupting the process of Li Fan's inner vision.

The radiance gradually receded, and when Li Fan looked again, he only saw a seemingly unremarkable and unadorned Golden Core quietly floating in his Dantian.

Before Li Fan could sigh with emotion, boundless spiritual power surged out from this Golden Core, flowing from the Dantian through all his limbs and bones.

That was a brand-new power far surpassing that of the Foundation Establishment Stage, whether in quality or quantity.

Every cell throughout his entire body, bathed in the nourishment of the Golden Core Stage spiritual power, seemed to be emitting joyful cheers.

A long-lost vitality and sense of youth emerged in Li Fan's heart.

"Along the path of difficulties and obstacles, cheating death several times."

"Today, I have finally achieved the Golden Core."

"It was hard-earned, purely by luck, purely by luck."

Li Fan sighed in his heart and opened the Huan Zhen panel to check the changes after his Core Formation.

…

"My Lifespan suddenly increased from four hundred years to six hundred years, nearly half more. The upper limit of my psychological age has also begun to grow once again."

"The accumulation of cultivation base between the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment indeed has a huge gap. I originally thought that the cultivation bases of those Calamity Bodies I accumulated previously could push me straight to the Golden Core Middle Stage after Core Formation. Now the progress has just passed one-third…"

"Perhaps this is also because I forcibly formed the core using the Nine Arts."

"A Nine-Arts Golden Core is naturally incomparable to ordinary Golden Cores."

Recalling the process of his recent Core Formation, Li Fan had to admit that there was a bit of luck involved in his success this time.

The power of the Five Elements was merely hastily pieced together by him in a rush.

The power of Water and Fire was far greater than that of Metal, Wood, and Earth.

This led to the circulation of the Five Elements power not being so harmonious and smooth.

Instead, it constantly showed signs of losing control, almost causing him to fail on the verge of success.

"Fortunately, the final result was good, and I managed to form a Golden Core with decent power."

Once the Golden Core was formed, it was already one with Li Fan.

Li Fan naturally knew all about its various wonderful uses.

The Nine Arts of Core Formation, and even the various functions of Huan Zhen as a Foundation Establishment rare object, all converged into this Golden Core.

From now on, whenever Li Fan cast Five Elements Spells, they would be as compliant as his own arms and fingers, receiving a certain degree of enhancement.

Among them, the effects of Water and Fire were even more prominent.

The Five Elements generate each other, endless and unceasing. His sustained combat capability was countless times stronger than that of Lian Henzhi back then.

Li Fan was confident that if he returned to the spiritless Immortal Extinction Land now, relying solely on the Spiritual Qi within his body, he could persist for quite a long time even while constantly in a state of combat consumption.

Furthermore, the existence of the secret storage technique could also allow Li Fan to recover his injuries at an extremely fast speed.

The superposition of these two made Li Fan almost an existence that could neither be worn down to death nor beaten to pieces.

The Azure Flame Illusion Spirit had disappeared and no longer existed in the Sea of Consciousness. It had become a part of the Golden Core Law. Now, Li Fan could enter that previous state of absolute rationality at any time without relying on the Azure Flame Illusion Spirit.

As for the final Celestial Killing and Ink Death…

At the very instant he achieved the Golden Core, Li Fan had an inexplicable comprehension in his heart and conceived a killer move that fused the characteristics of both.

Driven by the power of the Five Elements as its core, with the world-destroying power of Celestial Killing and Ink Death as the sword blade,

combined with the indomitable spirit of the twenty-eight One Sword of Gathering Clouds where every single sword strike was guaranteed to hit.

In his conception, Li Fan named it the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword.

"Unfortunately, this is my ultimate trump card and cannot be easily exposed. This Cosmos Abode is under heavy surveillance, so I cannot test its effects here."

After imagining the power of this new Divine Ability, Li Fan had no choice but to reluctantly suppress the thought.

After summarizing what he had gained, Li Fan also reflected and planned for the future.

"The Five Elements are not harmonious and must be completed sooner or later. Otherwise, even if the Golden Core Stage is safe, when seizing that flawless, self-contained Five Elements Great Grotto-Heaven, I will definitely suffer setbacks."

The Heavenly Venerable's New Law is fast to Cultivate indeed. However, when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, one inevitably begins to face the counterattack of heaven and earth.

If the method of peeking into the secrets of heaven and earth was previously compared to copying with a canvas,

then seizing the essence of heaven and earth can be seen as forcibly seizing precious paintings from a museum full of treasures.

Naturally, one must face the counteraction of the security System.

Li Fan is currently still unclear about the specific details, having only read fragmentary remarks about it before.

"Next, while cultivating, I will gather relevant information."

"Whether it is data on the Five Elements Great Grotto-Heaven or the power of the Five Elements comparable to the Vast Sea and Crimson Flame, neither is so easily obtainable."

"It requires careful planning."

When Li Fan, now in the Golden Core Stage, cultivated once again, he felt a long-lost slowness in the growth of his cultivation progress.

He couldn't help but think of Xiao Heng, He Zhenghao, and Su Xiaomei.

"Xiao Heng should be in Shi Lin Province at this moment, and Su Xiaomei has not yet come out from the Chaoyuan Sect Ruins."

"He Zhenghao has indeed ended his closed-door training, but he seems busy with his duties and has had little opportunity to Cultivate."

"Well, they have all broken through to the Golden Core Stage. Wanting to progress further is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"It seems it is time to Cultivate some new crops."
