"Bang!"

"Crack ?"

A loud sound echoed out, followed by the sound of bones breaking. Soon after, the sound of a grieving beast's roar could be heard.

Here was a dense primeval forest. At this moment, it was noon and the sun was high in the sky. A blazing sun was floating in the sky, emitting rays of gentle light. It was already autumn and the weather was getting colder.

At this moment, a bare-chested man was maintaining his boxing posture. The solid muscles on his body were bulging like pieces of solid stone. At this moment, he unleashed a punch with explosive strength. Bang!

The fist that was as hard as iron smashed forward, and in front of it, was a ferocious looking huge beast. The thick fur made this huge beast appear to be very ferocious and powerful, and normally, it would intimidate other weak creatures as it walked in the forest.

However, at this moment, the normally domineering beast that was like a king had met a different person, a person he couldn't afford to offend.

That's right, the man in front of him, who was bare-chested and had exposed his explosive muscles, looked up and revealed his handsome face.

He had a smooth and fair face with a sharp and handsome look. His dark, deep eyes were suffused with a charming luster. His thick eyebrows, tall nose, and absolutely beautiful lips were all exuding elegance and elegance.

After a year of hard work, Sun Wukong had changed a lot. He was no longer weak and wretched. At this moment, his expression was cold and his aura was completely different from before. He was tough, resolute and cold.

At this moment, Sun Wukong's fist was like a thunderbolt as it erupted with a powerful force that directly smashed into the head of the fierce beast in front of him.

"Aooo ?" Suddenly, that fierce beast let out a mournful wail that was deafening.

With a 'kacha' sound, that beast's head caved in, shooting out a large amount of white and red liquid that flew everywhere. Sun Wukong's face was cold and indifferent, he casually stretched out his hands and pressed on the beast's head.

Suddenly, the muscles on Sun Wukong's arm bulged as a powerful aura burst forth. The pupils of the ferocious beast in front of Sun Wukong contracted as it widened its eyes. Its eyes were filled with shock and terror.

He wanted to escape. Sun Wukong's speed in covering his ears was like that of thunder. At this moment, Sun Wukong's usually aloof appearance was filled with fear.

The current him wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong let out a sneer and increased the power in his hands.

"Hiss ?"

Suddenly, the giant beast in front of him was crushed by Sun Wukong's iron fists. But, in the next second, under Sun Wukong's hands that were filled with a massive force, that giant body was ripped in half.

In the next moment, the beast's flesh and blood splattered everywhere. It didn't even have time to cry out in pain before its eyes were wide open as it stared at Sun Wukong. It had ripped itself into two halves, and just like that, the beast died.

And just like that, without even giving him the chance to beg for mercy, Sun Wukong actually attacked with such ruthlessness, a fatal blow.

"Bang, bang, bang ?"

With two loud bangs, the body of the giant beast was casually thrown to the side by Sun Wukong, heavily crashing into the ground.

"Weng weng weng ?"

Soon, the beast's body was torn apart, and an earthen yellow Demonic Core flew out from its body. Just as he was about to flee for his life, Sun Wukong immediately jumped up with his feet on the ground. With a speed that could cover one's ears like thunder, he waved his right hand and grabbed the demonic core that was trying to escape.

In mid-air, Sun Wukong's body gracefully drew an arc as he slowly descended.

Feeling the beast core in his hand, Sun Wukong coldly opened his mouth and said, "Early stage Nascent Soul, earth type beast core, not bad."

After which, the strength of the demonic core in his hand changed. The demonic core crumbled into pieces, and the beast that had lost its physical body could finally channel its consciousness into the demonic core. But right now, Sun Wukong casually grabbed it.

The beast core was also smashed to smithereens, and the beast's body was also completely annihilated.

As the demonic core shattered, it transformed into streams of pure and dense zhenqi that gushed out. Sun Wukong silently circulated his high-grade immortal art, Earth.

In a blink of an eye, the pure zhenqi was absorbed by Sun Wukong. Then, Sun Wukong felt the brown demonic core in his dantian. At this moment, the aura emitted by the golden core became a bit stronger.

The reason why Sun Wukong did all of this was because a year ago, under the leadership of the old man, when he was cultivating in the waterfall, Sun Wukong unknowingly discovered that the aura emitted by the blue spirit core in his dantian had grown a bit stronger.

This was also the reason why the current Sun Wukong was constantly fighting against demonic beasts of the five elements along the way.

Sun Wukong didn't feel that anything was amiss as he spent the past year cultivating his physical body and cultivation base at the peak of the later stage of the Aurous Core stage. Even so, he still hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even though his cultivation base was still at the peak of the later stage of the Aurous Core stage, his battle prowess was far beyond that of an average person at the peak of the later stage of the Aurous Core stage.

The current Sun Wukong could easily kill a Nascent Soul Stage demon beast with a single punch without using any zhen qi. Sun Wukong had killed quite a number of Spirit Severing Stage demon beasts before.

Although it was a bit of a hindrance, Sun Wukong could still easily kill him with just a little use of his Zhen Qi.

But now, after the old man had left, Sun Wukong didn't rush back to the sect. Instead, he continued to stay in the forest. Even without any guidance, Sun Wukong could still cultivate by himself.

Today, after Sun Wukong had killed that earth-attributed demon beast and was preparing to leave to search for the next demon beast, Sun Wukong suddenly felt a burst of shock in his heart. A wonderful feeling appeared in his mind.

It wasn't as though Sun Wukong had experienced such a sensation before. He had experienced it multiple times already.

Indeed, that was the case. At this moment, Sun Wukong was on the verge of a breakthrough.

After reaching the Aurous Core stage, Sun Wukong seemed to have stayed for a very long time. It had been almost three years, and these three years, he only cultivated once again.

Compared to the average person, this kind of time was much faster. After cultivating for three years, one would reach the peak of the later stages of the Aurous Core stage. This was something that ordinary people could not achieve.

However, this kind of training speed wasn't that fast for the heaven's pride level practitioners of any sect. They would even feel that it was a bit slow.

The difference between a heaven's pride level expert and a heaven's pride level expert wasn't because of their physique, but rather their perception.

As for those who were not Heaven's Pride, and had ordinary physiques, their comprehension ability was insufficient. Even if their cultivation base reached the Golden Core Stage for one year, two years, five years, ten years, and they did not have enough perception, then, he would never be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage. He would forever be stuck at the Golden Core Stage until his death.

To break through, one had to rely on luck, luck, and a feeling. Moreover, this feeling was not something that could be easily felt. The key point was that it still depended on the timing.

However, Sun Wukong was not such a person. His physique and perception were not something that an ordinary person would be able to look down upon. Even a Heaven's Pride would not be able to compare with Sun Wukong.

So today, after Sun Wukong absorbed that earth-attributed demonic core, in Sun Wukong's dantian, the five smaller golden cores seemed to reach a balanced or saturated state after Sun Wukong absorbed countless of them.

At this moment, it was impossible for his cultivation to stop at the Aurous Core stage.

He had been suppressing it for too long, and it was about to explode at any moment ?

At this moment, Sun Wukong was standing in the middle of this ancient forest. He released his spiritual will, feeling everything in this world, as well as this ancient forest.

At the same time, Sun Wukong started to operate the five high grade immortal arts, simultaneously absorbing the clear true energy within the forest. At the same time, Sun Wukong started to circulate the five high grade immortal arts, simultaneously

Suddenly, the entire forest started to move without wind. When it was autumn, the leaves on the ground also started to float. In this forest, under this strange environment, the leaves were dancing.

Sun Wukong saved you by quietly absorbing the true energy of the outside world. The five high-grade immortal arts were activated at the same time and the speed at which they were absorbed was also suddenly five times faster than before.

The previously quiet forest was suddenly thrown into chaos, and a massive tempest kicked up, engulfing the entire forest.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong, who had his eyes tightly closed, opened them and shot out two rays of dazzling golden light.

Soon after, the previously clear and cloudless sky suddenly began to emit a strange storm. Following which, the sky suddenly turned dark and dense. Streaks of lightning rolled about in the sky.

Suddenly, there was the sound of muffled thunder. The sky was covered with dense clouds just a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, thunder and lightning mixed with violent winds and torrential rain, followed by a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky.

"Pa ~ ~"

With a loud sound, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck down onto Sun Wukong.

"Boom ?"

With a muffled sound, that thick bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and smashed into Sun Wukong's body.

If there was anyone else here, they would have thought that Sun Wukong would be torn to shreds by that bolt of lightning.

However, the current Sun Wukong was no longer the same Sun Wukong from before. He no longer looked like a weak youth from before.

After a year of hard work, Sun Wukong had become even more powerful and cold.

When that bolt of lightning struck down, Sun Wukong didn't make a sound. It was as if he didn't care about this bolt of lightning at all. It was as if he felt that such a powerful bolt of lightning wouldn't harm him in the slightest.

This was because just a few days ago, Sun Wukong had personally witnessed what was called a true heavenly tribulation. Those bolts of lightning had slammed into that old man's body, causing his heart to ache with pain. But today, when these bolts of lightning struck his body, Sun Wukong didn't care at all.

Just like this, he started chanting and continued to cultivate, absorbing the true qi from the outside world.

"Rumble ?"

At this moment, the sky was densely covered by dark clouds. Thunder and lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and trees swayed from side to side under the violent winds. They were on the verge of collapse. It was as if deafening thunder could be heard.

In this primeval forest, all the worried animals had long since hidden themselves, not daring to go out.

In the sky, the thunderclouds flashed again and again, rolling and rolling as bolts of lightning came crashing down. The thunderclouds changed again and again during this tribulation. Soon, there were only thirty-six streaks of lightning.

One, two, three... Ten, twenty ? Thirty-six lines. Just like this, lightning bolts struck down one after another, soon ending the match.

Suddenly, after those lightning bolts came down from the sky, the heavenly tribulation was easily crossed by Sun Wukong.

In the space between heaven and earth, the thunder clouds dispersed and the sky became bright once again. Sun Wukong frantically absorbed the true energy from the outside world. At this moment, his cultivation had also rapidly risen by leaps and bounds.

From the peak of the later phase of the Aurous Core stage, his power skyrocketed to the early phase of the Nascent Soul stage.

In the next second, Sun Wukong's dantian began to jump. The one in the middle of the six golden cores also began to expand. In an instant, the power that it released also increased greatly. "Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~"

It hadn't become a demon soul yet ?
