Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The plan to build the Golden Core was somewhat of a spur-of-the-moment decision. The plan was only started a few days ago, because all the conditions for building the Golden Core had only been basically met a few days ago.

First, we need the technical support of the Shanhe Republic. The technology for miniaturizing the Daoyuan reactor is essential, as are many other related technologies for adjusting the operation of the Daoyuan reactor, which require long-term accumulation. Only the Shanhe Republic possesses these technologies.

Secondly, they would need a large amount of the eldest son's flesh and blood, as well as the biotechnology related to the eldest son. This technology could only be obtained through contact with you, and was provided by personnel who had recently died in the underground base. With this technology as a supplement, they would have a way to replace the eldest son's cell nucleus with a mechanized core, thereby controlling this eldest son's flesh and blood.

Next, we need ground-based, localized warfare techniques—combat skills honed in real combat. These often prove surprisingly effective in the current situation, especially methods that integrate mental and physical will. These are particularly well-suited for use with planetary-level energy cores.

But having the means to wage war is not enough; one also needs the will to execute it. There needs to be a sufficient number of resolute and unwavering individuals united under a common goal, striving towards that goal.

After the underground base was destroyed, those valiant souls filled the final void. They became the spirits of this golden core, assisting the unifying system in this colossal creation, comparable to a planet, in outputting a continuous stream of energy.

At the same time, it resisted the invasion of natural disasters and calamities. As the space was almost filled, the crisis brought by the natural disasters and calamities gradually decreased. Now, the scale of the battle was somewhat like a battle between the immune system and invading bacteria and viruses. The destruction that natural disasters could bring was basically equivalent to cellular-level destruction to the entire golden core. It was enough to suppress it by mobilizing the immune system within the golden core.

The warriors in the underground base were like immune cells, and their war tactics resembled an immune storm, unfolding the battle in ways no one expected. Even though the natural disaster had evolved the ability to constantly devour and self-replicate, replicating itself like a virus—using other substances, the substances of the invaded world—it still couldn't defeat the valiant warriors transformed into immune cells.

The natural disasters are gradually running out of options, and the final wave of advancement to the seventh stage is imminent. At this rate, even more intense natural disasters and tribulations will not only fail to destroy this already incredibly solid immortal aperture, but will actually provide the opponent with more Dao traces, further enhancing their strength. If it were anyone else, providing them with Dao traces wouldn't be a big problem. As long as it's intentionally controlled, providing them with Dao traces useless to their own cultivation style is sufficient.

Under normal circumstances, no one can reach the master level in all schools of martial arts. Only someone who has been dead and wandering between life and death for 10 years, like the Ghostly Demon Lord, could achieve mastery of all schools while in a state of death. He has even come close to becoming a grandmaster of all schools.

But what he was facing now was clearly not a normal being, but an extraterrestrial demon, and the most terrifying kind of extraterrestrial demon at that. It was a being that had traversed countless worlds, endured hardships in countless worlds, and mastered the terrifying ability to grow in any world.

Lanno is not only a master of all martial arts styles, but has already achieved the status of a grandmaster of all martial arts styles. He is currently moving towards becoming a grandmaster of all martial arts styles.

This means that no matter which school of Dao trace he is given, he can use it. Even if the types of Dao traces are not uniform, resulting in a decrease in the multiplier of the killing move, he can still rely on different killing moves to combine them, thereby stacking the amplification multipliers provided by different Dao traces.

Even if Heaven wanted to select a Dao Mark that couldn't be used, it would be difficult. Of course, there is one Dao Mark that even Lanno couldn't use under normal circumstances, despite his high level in this school. That is the Heavenly Dao Mark. But this thing is the very origin of Heaven's will; giving it to someone is not as simple as harming the enemy 1000 while losing 800 yourself. It's harming the enemy 1000 while losing 1 yourself.

Moreover, even Heaven's Will couldn't be certain whether Lan Nuo possessed the ability to erase and refine the traces of the Heavenly Dao. If he did, it would truly be a case of throwing good money after bad. It's virtually impossible for people in this world to do such a thing. But for the extraterrestrial demons, anything is possible. If he were to actually achieve it, the problem would be far too serious.

Therefore, at this point, Tianyi was in a somewhat passive state. Even if it maximized its power within its authority, it would only be providing supplies to the opponent. It would be better to adjust the power to the minimum at this time to minimize the opponent's gains.

Even so, the Dao Marks accumulated from the previous barrage are already excessive, almost ten times that of a normal immortal advancement. If he successfully completes his advancement, the multiplier will increase to about ten times that before the tribulation, meaning the total number of Dao Marks accumulated will jump from just over 10,000 to a terrifying 100,000. Normally, accumulating 100,000 Dao Marks is enough to advance to the eighth level, and the multiplier for unleashing a killing move can reach a hundredfold. However, it is much more difficult for others to accumulate 100,000 Dao Marks, as the difficulty of accumulating 100,000 Dao Marks within the same school and the total number of Dao Marks is incomparable.

However, for Lanno, the different schools of Dao traces didn't prevent him from achieving a hundredfold increase even with a quantity of 10. This meant that the gap between him and the current, not fully-sublimated Giant Sun Immortal Venerable in terms of output power was becoming increasingly smaller. The biggest difference between them seemed to be only resource reserves.

In terms of capital reserves, with the acquisition of the Golden Core, this gap is gradually narrowing. The Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's understanding of the Golden Core is practically nonexistent. After all, this thing was only recently invented and born into this world. Even its creator didn't fully understand its full capabilities, let alone the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable at this moment.

He just felt that his opponent seemed bolder than before when unleashing their killing moves. They weren't as careful as before in conserving energy. They seemed completely unconcerned that such reckless use would lead to energy depletion.

The killing moves unleashed were also much more powerful than before. After all, the more you invest, the more you get out.

With more energy reserves available now, when unleashing a powerful attack, the extra energy can be used to replenish it.

The Dao Yuan reactor of the Golden Core can provide a certain amount of energy, and the True Yuan is already nearly inexhaustible. And now, in the midst of the battlefield, everywhere is the flesh and blood of the eldest son. This flesh and blood also contains a massive amount of Dao traces, making it arguably the best fuel for the Golden Core. While the eldest son is expanding its size, it is also devouring all things in heaven and earth, especially the more complex animals in nature, which often accumulate a large number of Dao traces.

This is similar to the energy cycle within a food chain, or the circulation of microplastics among different organisms. The higher up in the food chain, the more these substances accumulate in the body.

The eldest son undoubtedly stands at the top of the food chain. He devoured the vast majority of wild creatures on the grassland, so much so that the Dao traces on their bodies accumulated within him. Even though their flesh and blood had been bombarded and frozen in previous battles, and were no longer under his control, the Dao traces within them did not dissipate. They were perfectly suited to be used as fuel for the Dao Yuan reactor.

This battlefield will never lack the flesh and blood of the eldest son, so much so that the reactor can continue operating at its highest power, and the number of immortal essences it can provide per minute is no longer important. Because on the current battlefield, as long as the eldest son's body is not completely exhausted, the golden core can keep him fighting at full power.

This means that the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable alone can no longer suppress him; a much greater price must be paid. And this is clearly not worth the effort.

Fortunately, the Giant Sun Fairy's backup plan was already in place. Her descendants were all summoned, and numerous experts gathered here, ready to launch a siege. As for the other eldest son clones, they were simply captured along the way.

Although clones 2 through 9 have already become immortals, they are frantically devouring the matter within their bodies in an attempt to refine a golden elixir within themselves.

But their efficiency was simply too low. Hindered by bad luck, they were basically eating and vomiting simultaneously, with almost no chance of winning. The rate at which their internal substances accumulated was too slow. Even now, surrounded, they still couldn't muster enough strength to resist. One by one, the seventh and eighth level experts who arrived to reinforce them forcibly sealed their immortal apertures and completely drained the remaining true essence from their meridians, ensuring their bodies were reduced to mere mortals. Only then were they captured one by one.

As for those avatars who haven't yet achieved immortality, they pose absolutely no threat. Even if they possess some fighting power, they would be subdued in no time once the descendants of the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable arrived.

The situation on the battlefield gradually became clear. It seemed to have turned into a brawl. Even for an ultimate being, fighting one-on-one against so many level 8 beings seemed hopeless.

Faced with so many enemies, Lanno was actually somewhat eager to fight. After all, he wasn't the original body, and his clone's personality was slightly different. Compared to the original body, which was more accustomed to sitting in the center and existing as a leader, the clone was more inclined towards battle, more inclined to break through in the face of life and death, to push its own limits. So much so that the clone broke through the base lock twice on its own, even making a breakthrough in the time of its death. Only now had it reached the point where it could share a certain degree of the original body's abilities. If other factors were not considered, he really wanted to have a thorough and enjoyable battle, to see where his limits were. But now he carried the will of too many people on his shoulders, and ultimately had to choose to carry out the mission according to plan.

While he was surrounded by numerous enemies, on another inconspicuous battlefield, the Eighty-Eight Trigrams True Yang Tower was helping him. The will of the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable realized he had underestimated his opponent. His opponent was no ordinary mortal, but an immortal who had just achieved immortal combat power, already far surpassing ordinary immortals. Furthermore, he had obtained the Leshan Joyful Immortal Gu.

Fang Yuan, relying on Taibai Yunsheng's cover and the fact that the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will was initially acting, successfully endured until he achieved immortality. By the time the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will changed and he wanted to completely eliminate him, it was already too late.

On the side of the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, he was forcibly dragged into a war of attrition. He only had one will guarding the place to begin with, and after repeated battles, it had become somewhat weak. After all, without the existence of his physical soul, this will was difficult to replenish. Their battle had already made this secret realm extremely precarious, meaning that a terrifying disaster, one that no one could withstand, was about to occur.

After immortals die, their existence does not immediately disappear, but transforms into blessed lands and grottoes. However, these blessed lands and grottoes are not eternal. Eventually, they will also dissipate, completely merging into the world and becoming a part of it.

When the blessed lands and grotto-heavens dissipate, a special calamity will occur: the legendary Great Harmony Wind. This world has all sorts of different winds, almost like those in the Investiture of the Gods, incredibly diverse. Many possess unique and varied abilities, much like magical treasures. Among these, the most famous and terrifying is the Great Harmony Wind.

The Great Harmony Wind can assimilate everything, and it will only stop when the blessed lands and grotto-heavens completely dissipate into the world. In other words, even immortals can be devoured and destroyed by the Great Harmony Wind. Even top-tier eighth-level experts must retreat in the face of the Great Harmony Wind. For immortals who have mastered how to destroy their own immortal apertures, the Great Harmony Wind is like a hidden backup energy source that can be used to self-destruct, or even to perish together with an enemy one or two realms higher than themselves.

At this moment, the Eighty-Eight Corner True Yang Tower is located in the Royal Court Blessed Land. This blessed land itself has been reinforced and is already very sturdy. Ordinary damage is unlikely to destroy the Royal Court Blessed Land. However, it is beset by internal and external troubles. Externally, there are unsuspecting immortals who are launching a sneak attack to destroy the blessed land in order to go into the dungeon and reap the benefits. Internally, Fang Yuan's strength is far beyond imagination. His combat power is close to the eighth level. After the Giant Sun Will clashed with him a few times, the Royal Court Blessed Land was already teetering on the brink of collapse. Once the Royal Court Blessed Land is completely destroyed, the Great Harmony Wind will rise, and everything here will be destroyed. If they do not hurry to escape, the Giant Sun Will and Fang Yuan's main body will probably have to perish here.
