Chapter 224 - Golden Core Battle Power

Blue sea, clear sky, hazy mist.
Flying cranes' secret realm seems to have magically expanded near South Sea's Thundering Island, creating an endless area like an overseas fairyland.
Even in the outskirts of the mist, cultivators can be seen from afar, and even ordinary people are observing and exploring.
Through the thick white fog, occasionally you can see various shapes of monsters appearing in the hidden mountain forest.
People and monsters look at each other, clearly distinct.
The monsters roar and growl, showing their teeth and claws.
The human race is excitedly discussing, marveling.
The speed of the speedboat Yang Fan is riding on towards the northeast direction has slowed down.
On this side, it is a mysterious realm with towering cliffs in the mist, so there are relatively few ships and cultivators lingering nearby.
Within a radius of fifty meters, there is only a luxurious small yacht about seven to eight meters away. On the deck are Ye Rongjian and Zhou Xingyun, enjoying red wine, gazing affectionately at each other while chatting.
Noticing someone approaching, the two stopped talking, but their hands holding under the table didn't let go.
A chill ran through Yang Fan's heart, and he couldn't help muttering to himself. Ye Rongjian is a truly handsome guy, known as the "campus grass" in major universities. On the other hand, Zhou Xingyun inherited the rough appearance of the Zhou family, with a strong and burly physique, big nostrils facing the sky, even more shabby-looking compared to the thick eyebrows and big eyes of Zhou Xingyu, giving people a feeling of a flower in a movie.
It's hard to imagine that the two of them could get together.
"Illusion?"
Yang Fan's divine sense swept over, filled with doubt. Although he could sense that Ye Rongjian had reached the foundational stage of cultivation, the faint pink aura he had previously perceived from a distance was nowhere to be found.
Just as the two of them turned to look at him, their eyes met and Ye Rongjian's gaze subtly flickered, which was caught by Yang Fan.
"What are you looking at? I'll gouge your eyeballs out!" Zhou Xingyun raised his eyebrows and spoke out, showing irritation and a feminine demeanor.
"What an eyesore, polluting the spiritual energy of this world," Yang Fan deliberately provoked and sneered, signaling the customer service to move aside.
Zhou Xingyun coldly snorted, waved his hand and sent out a white sword light straight towards Yang Fan's face. Just inches away from Yang Fan's brow, a flash of light radiated from his body, causing the sword light to disappear without a trace.
The customer service personnel driving the speedboat widened their eyes and forgot to move the steering wheel. They had heard about monks and seen spells like fireball online, but it was the first time they witnessed such a scene in reality. It seemed like this customer was a master.
"Don't seek death!" Yang Fan calmly spoke.
Zhou Xingyun became anxious, realizing that Yang Fan's cultivation was higher than his own and he had no choice but to shake Ye Rongjian's arm and playfully say, with a hoarse voice, "Brother Rongjian~"
Yang Fan's back chilled, and his mouth twitched. The customer service who bent over nearly stumbled.
On the other hand, Ye Rongjian's pupils contracted. He patted Zhou Xingyun's hand and shouted towards the back. Soon, the yacht roared and sailed away against the wind.
"What did he see..."
"Yang Fan had just revealed his cultivation at the peak of the Ninth Stage of Qi Refining. He wanted to test him, but as a result, Ye Rongjian silently endured the provocation and humiliation and walked away."
Taking out his cell phone and checking it, Yang Fan found that there was no signal. He decided to go back and investigate Ye Rongjian. There must be something suspicious.
It would have taken an enormous amount of resources and various precious underworld products, such as Meng Po soup, as well as a fortuitous encounter with a spiritual tide in the secret realm, for oneself to achieve the promotion to the Golden Core stage in such a short period of time.
However, Ye Rongjian, although he has achieved a decent aptitude in cultivating to the third level of Qi in a harsh environment, he still falls behind his cousin Ye Rongzheng and Jiang Yue. But now, he has suddenly formed a foundation with no warning.
"Could it be that the outside world also has things like spiritual energy tides?"
Yang Fan secretly pondered, looking at the customer service man, who was still in shock, saying, "Let's leave it here."
After speaking, Yang Fan flashed and jumped out of the speedboat, walking on the waves towards the secret realm.
"Awesome!" the customer service man muttered, full of envy.
Three hours later.
Having flown around the outskirts of the secret realm for some distance without finding any Qi Condensation cultivators, Yang Fan used the token to control the array formation and entered the secret realm in an unnoticed location. He then found Xiong Sanwan and a group of other demon beasts near the place where he had left the secret realm.
Less than a month after he left the secret realm, there were unexpectedly four more Gold Core demons. In addition to the Bull Python and the Bear Xiong with a cultivation level of 30,000, there were two other beings that had previously reached the Foundation Building stage.
Especially the Gulping Sky Python, it has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, even higher than its cultivation level.
After a slight surprise, Yang Fan suddenly understood that the previous secret realm was sealed off and suppressed by a certain law, so the highest level that monsters could reach was only the Perfect Foundation stage.
Now the secret realm is born and integrated into the Blue Star, the binding of the laws disappears, and with their accumulation over the years, breaking through the Golden Core stage becomes a matter of course.
Yang Fan suddenly became interested, and has long wanted to test his combat power after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, so he sent out battle invitations to several monster beasts.
The huge swallowing python snake coiled its tail, resembling a small mountain, with its copper bell-like eyes half open and half closed, showing no expression.
In addition to a house-sized white tiger roaring and ready to pounce, the other lightning eagle remained silent.
As for the black bear, it completely obeys Yang Fan.
"Don't you want to know the strength of the creatures outside?"
Yang Fan said as he jumped into the sky.
"Roar~"
Xiong Sanwan roared, rose up from the ground, and swung his black staff to strike at Yang Fan.
Two figures, one large and one small, rapidly maneuvered in the sky, emitting a burst of energetic aura that caused rocks and vegetation to shatter and fly in all directions.
After more than ten rounds, Yang Fan easily subdued the black bear.
"Roar!"
Angrily roaring, the White Tiger let out a burst of fire, while a golden light bloomed from the center of its eyebrows, releasing mysterious runes that joined the battle.
Sure!" "
With a loud laugh, Yang Fan raised his hand and a black spear appeared. He swung it, shattering the runes, and at the same time his grasping crane hand reached out and lifted a massive stone weighing ten thousand pounds, hurling it towards the White Tiger from afar.
Afterwards, Kuafu unleashes his Kunpeng body technique and engages in close combat with two demonic beasts several times larger than himself, effortlessly.
Below, numerous demonic beasts watch with unwavering attention.
"So strong, seems it's still not enough." Taizi Xueyuan licked his lips and muttered as he looked at the distant Bull Python.
Five minutes later, with a neigh, the Thunderbird spread its wings and soared into the sky. Its wings, as if made of molten iron, stretched for twenty meters, stirring up gusts of wind that lifted trees and grass from the ground, powerful to the extreme.
Yang Fan condenses a protective light shield around his body, and the entire sphere with a diameter of three meters is blown away for more than ten meters.
Three monsters attack from three different directions.
The black bear sticks to Yang Fan and fights with a big stick in close combat.
Hang Jing Baihu activates the rune around Yang Fan.
The lightning-carved disc circulates in the high sky, stirring up the rogue winds to block Yang Fan's movement, or still cleave the sky with a blade ripping through the void.
Yang Fan gradually felt the pressure and had to start using his magical powers. He repeatedly used the Heaven-Cutting Finger and the Prison-Sealing Hand.
Half an hour later, Yang Fan once again stabilized the situation and gained the upper hand...
The snow monkey's eyes were burning with fighting spirit, but unfortunately he was only at the eighth level of foundation building and couldn't participate. He looked at the Devouring Sky Bull Python and said, "Sir, won't you give it a try?"
Seeing that the Devouring Sky Bull Python didn't react, the snow monkey mumbled, "Looks like I need to work harder. Even the little black bear has surpassed me by so much."
"Zhen!"
杨凡衣衫鼓荡，口吐一字，身体在高空化作残影连续三个腾挪。
Afterwards,
熊三万被击落在地砸出一个深坑。
吊睛白虎倒飞撞在五十米外的一座大山上。
The Thunderbird was also flung out, with black wings flapping as feathers fell one by one.
Yang Fan landed gracefully, let out a breath and a faint smile appeared on his face. He had a relatively accurate understanding of his combat power.
Three demon beasts must have some killer moves that they haven't used yet, such as the intimidating "Roaring Skill" of the black bear. However, Yang Fan is confident that he can kill all three Golden Core demon beasts with just one strike.
As for adding the Devouring Sky Bull Python, it's hard to say.
In the ninth level of the stage, he experienced the battle power of the Devouring Sky Bull Python, which is not comparable to ordinary monsters.
"It's still more convenient to wear ancient robes for combat."
Wearing a T-shirt and jeans, Yang Fan secretly approached the Devouring Heaven Python.
