Chapter 1044: Jiang Hanyi Forms the Golden Core Pill

Jiang Hanyi’s eyes were tightly closed, unaware of Gu Jin standing behind him and the dense spiritual energy emanating from her.

His body, as if conscious, began to absorb this spiritual energy.

On a peaceful night, a violent wind suddenly arose atop Yuhua Mountain, sending dust swirling into the air, blinding everyone’s vision.

Jiang Hanyi, in meditation, remained unmoved.

Soon, his face gradually became distorted, the Four Meridians and Eight Meridians emitting intense pain, comparable to the agony of a fractured bone, as if being torn apart.

His refined and gentle face twisted, clearly enduring inhuman suffering and torment.

The tremendous spiritual energy Gu Jin drew from the void gathered around Jiang Hanyi, assisting him.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

Unable to bear the pain any longer, Jiang Hanyi let out a heart-wrenching scream.

His internal meridians seemed to be severed inch by inch, his body trembling incessantly.

The others around him, startled by his outcry, had never seen the always gentle and refined Jiang Hanyi lose composure like this.

Watching his expression and his violently trembling body, they could imagine the intense pain and torture he was enduring.

During a breakthrough, he must not be disturbed.

Even if they were shocked inwardly, they dared not act rashly.

Jiang Hanyi struggled to absorb the surging spiritual energy from Gu Jin behind him.

His lips, biting from enduring extreme pain, were broken, crimson blood spreading.

The trace of blood at the corner of his lips made him look enchantingly sinister.

As if the originally gentle and refined man had turned slightly evil, gaining a touch of seductive charm.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom! Boom!!"

In the dark night, a full moon hung high, and roars of thunder echoed from afar.

The sound drew closer.

This is the lightning tribulation for breaking through the Golden Core!

It’s coming!

The position where Yu Shuo stood was right in front of Jiang Hanyi.

He stared in the direction of the rolling thunder, his body tense, and as energy slowly gathered in his hands at his sides, he was ready to face the lightning tribulation.

"Boom!"

The thunder drew near—

Sweat dripped from Jiang Hanyi’s forehead, the pain in his body forcing his straight back to bend.

He did not realize the lightning tribulation was arriving, as the remaking of his Dantian and the suffering he endured made it impossible for him to divert his attention.

"Boom!!!"

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, heading straight for the meditating Jiang Hanyi.

Yu Shuo, who had been watching the lightning tribulation, raised his hands full of spiritual power, and Thunder Cultivation Wind Blade clashed with the incoming lightning tribulation.

"Bang! Boom!!"

A huge rumbling sound arose.

The first bolt of lightning was not very powerful and was easily defeated by Yu Shuo.

"Boom!!"

The second bolt of lightning quickly arrived.

Yu Shuo didn’t hesitate to act, finding it slightly more challenging this time.

But he still struck down the second bolt of lightning.

Then the third, and the fourth bolt followed.

"Boom!!!"

Soon came the fifth bolt of lightning, the electricity crude and the pressure imminent.

Yu Shuo was about to reach his limit, beads of sweat covering his face, more than half of his spiritual power depleted.

He mustered all his strength, concentrating power in front of him once more.

As the fifth bolt of lightning descended, about to strike Jiang Hanyi, he raised his hand to attack.

"Bang! Boom! Boom!!"

"Puff!"

This bolt of lightning was evidently stronger than before, and although Yu Shuo resisted again, preventing it from striking Jiang Hanyi.

Unfortunately, his Dantian’s spiritual power was exhausted, and he was shaken by the aftermath of the fifth lightning bolt, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Jin knew he was at his limit and immediately shouted, "Yu Shuo! Fall back!"

"Yes, Master!"

Yu Shuo clutched his chest and walked towards the ancient tree at the peak, distancing himself from the dangerous area.
