Chương 203: Chapter 202: A Single Strike to Sever the Golden Core!

Ye Chen stood there, slightly irritated and embarrassed. He had been enjoying himself, and on the other side, Su Yuxuan had even started imagining things. He had planned to press on, intending to kill Old Monster Wang and leave, leaving Su Yuxuan wondering every night where his corpse had gone. But to think this would be exposed? He turned his head to glance at Su Yuxuan. She was crying and laughing at the same time—her acting skills had improved, hadn't they?

With just a glance, Ye Chen turned his attention back to Old Monster Wang. Old Monster Wang glared at him with intense hatred, his eyes filled with murderous intent and greed.

"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet you possess such abundant vital energy! After I take over her body, you'll be the perfect nourishment. Then I'll understand why you have two hearts." In the next moment, Old Monster Wang erupted with all his power. The pressure of the Golden Core stage surged violently. The distant group of various cultivators, whether Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining, trembled uncontrollably under the force of this aura, their faces turning pale.

The might of the Golden Core was truly terrifying. Old Monster Wang was fixated on the matter of possessing Su Yuxuan's body. And given Ye Chen's strange behavior, she went straight for her strongest killing move. In that instant, the area within several dozen miles of the ruins turned pitch-black. It was as though it had become a ghostly pit. Countless winds of death swirled around, and any Foundation Establishment cultivator who was trapped within would see their flesh and blood dissolve in an instant.

Ghostly flames flickered erratically, seemingly capable of refining everything in the world. Su Yuxuan anxiously transmitted a message to Ye Chen: "Senior Brother, this is Master's ultimate move—The Forest of Ghosts and the Hell of Samsara. Don't force yourself to resist. Focus on evasion. Give me two hundred more breaths of time, and I'll be able to successfully refine it, and then we can strike together!" However, upon hearing Su Yuxuan's transmission, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged.

He didn't react at all to the terrifying winds and ghostly flames around them. Ye Chen simply lowered his head in silence, looking at his own chest. He hadn't been lying there pretending to be dead out of boredom. Ye Chen had already deciphered the first Divine Ability of the Primordial Supreme Heart. He was preparing for Heaven's Calamity Light. In the next moment, Ye Chen's body began to emit light. He alone illuminated the entire Forest of Ghosts and the Hell of Samsara.

In front of Ye Chen's chest, it was as if the sun was rising, casting a dazzling radiance that was terrifyingly bright, making it impossible for anyone to look directly. Accompanying this light was an indescribable, terrifying aura. Old Monster Wang and Su Yuxuan stared in disbelief. The entirety of the Boundless Demon Sect's ruins was shaking. Both Old Monster Wang and Su Yuxuan began to tremble uncontrollably, as if facing a legendary immortal, a spontaneous fear arising in their hearts.

The cultivators imprisoned by Old Monster Wang in a large hall were shaking doubly hard, filled with inexplicable terror; their hearts could not even beat, and they struggled to control their bodies. Qi Refining cultivators directly vomited blood and fainted. As for those in the Foundation Establishment stage, they only managed a few more breaths before collapsing to the ground. Old Monster Wang's already pale face deepened with wrinkles, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Ye Chen.

This power was too terrifying, penetrating to the marrow, exerting suppression. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. What was emitting from Ye Chen's chest that resembled the sun? Could it really be his heart? But how could that be possible? How could such a terrifying heart exist in this world? It was impossible. What horrified Old Monster Wang the most was that Ye Chen was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

How could someone at the mere Foundation Establishment stage possess a power that even those at the Golden Core stage would fear? Old Monster Wang backed away hastily, trying to flee. At the same time, she summoned her Human Emperor Banner, placing innumerable aggrieved souls in front of her as a shield. Among them was even a primary soul from the early Golden Core stage. This was Old Monster Wang's master. Only at this moment did Old Monster Wang feel a semblance of safety.

She did not understand what was going on with Ye Chen. But she knew Ye Chen was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Such a strike, Ye Chen could only execute once, and it surely came at a terrible cost. As long as she survived this strike. Ye Chen would undoubtedly die. And then, if it really was because of the heart. That heart would be her. With the Forest of Ghosts and the Hell of Samsara weakening the enemy's magic.

And her Human Emperor Banner shielding her with an endless stream of a hundred thousand aggrieved souls, among them even a once Golden Core soul. Old Monster Wang was confident. She could definitely withstand this strike. Before Ye Chen, a divine radiance burst forth. It shot through the Forest of Ghosts and the Hell of Samsara, leaving nothing untouched, even shattering the hellish illusion directly. In the next moment, to Old Monster Wang's disbelief, it pierced through everything to arrive in front of her.

A single strike had shattered her own Forest of Ghosts and Hell of Samsara.

"How is this possible?" Trembling filled Old Monster Wang's heart. She spared no effort in activating her life's work, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, causing countless aggrieved souls to swarm out and form a black smoke barrier in front of her, hoping to block this one strike. However, the divine radiance was far more terrifying than Old Monster Wang had imagined. The aggrieved souls couldn't even touch the radiance; they dissipated into smoke under its light.

And the hope Old Monster Wang placed in her master's Golden Core primary soul exploded upon contact with the divine radiance, unable to reform. In an instant, the Banner cultivated by Old Monster Wang for two hundred years did not withstand the divine radiance for even a moment, exploding violently. Old Monster Wang's body below her chest also burst open. When the divine radiance touched the ground, the entire ruins trembled violently, raising endless dust. Su Yuxuan stared blankly ahead.

And when the dust settled, and she saw clearly where Old Monster Wang was, she was utterly dumbfounded. All that was left of Old Monster Wang was a head, shoulders, and one arm, lying in terror next to a massive crater. The crater was unfathomably deep. This was truly inconceivable. Had Ye Chen, with his late Foundation Establishment cultivation, nearly killed a Golden Core early-stage master with just one strike? Most importantly, the interior of the Boundless Demon Sect's ruins was exceptionally sturdy.

Protected by a special formation, even Golden Core cultivators found it difficult to destroy the ground or roof. Otherwise, with the destructive power of cultivators, the ruins would have collapsed long ago. Yet these nearly indestructible ruins. Were now blasted open by Ye Chen with a huge hole? As if he had pierced through the entire ruins? What terrifying power was this? Su Yuxuan felt as if her ability to think had stopped at this moment....

Ye Chen, looking at the power unleashed by the Primordial Supreme Heart, nodded in satisfaction. Truly a treasure from a critical hit feedback. It was indeed fierce. A single strike could slay an early-stage Golden Core. Even enemies of higher cultivation were not a problem. Because Ye Chen could unleash dozens of Heaven's Calamity Lights in succession. The Heaven's Calamity Light was inherently fierce, and coupled with his ability to lock onto enemies. Saying "who comes, who dies" was not an exaggeration.

Content, Ye Chen raised his hand, and a purple-golden hand emerged with a roar. He was ready to end Old Monster Wang's misery. The reason he hadn't bothered to say a word to Old Monster Wang wasn't because he was irked by Old Monster Wang exposing him earlier. It was simply because he didn't want to waste words. However, Old Monster Wang, in utter terror, raised the only hand he had left, shouting desperately, "Su Yuxuan, make him stop. You may not care about your family! But what about your brother?"

Seeing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Su Yuxuan. It seemed that Su Yuxuan indeed cared deeply for her brother. Su Yuxuan gave him many critical hit feedback. She was a good woman. Naturally, Ye Chen felt obliged to consider her feelings. Thus, with a wave of his hand, the Heaven-Destroying Hand dissipated.
