I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 278 The Lifespan of a Golden Core and the City-Destroying Level

However, because the promotion process went too smoothly, Jemin didn't have to go through too much trouble.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jemin reached for the bottle of potion that was originally intended for advancement, uncorked it, and drank it all in one gulp!

boom--!
The immense medicinal power instantly dissolved within his body, like a torrent bursting its banks, impacting every part of his body.

If it were an ordinary cultivator who had just advanced in cultivation, they would probably be in a flurry of activity trying to guide and refine the medicine, lest they be overwhelmed by its potency.

But Jemin let this torrent flow unchecked, allowing it to be devoured by the bottomless suction force of his lower dantian!
The medicinal power was efficiently converted by the body into pure spiritual energy, which was then absorbed into the dantian without hesitation and injected into the slowly rotating golden elixir.

Then, through some mysterious operating method, it surges into that rapidly expanding internal space!
This process lasted for a long time until the potion, which was powerful enough to stabilize the realm of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator and still had some left over, was completely absorbed, and only then did the terrifying suction force in the lower dantian slowly subside.

Jemin couldn’t wait to immerse his mind in the space within his body.

"This is……!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

The gray space that was originally only the size of one room has now undergone a tremendous transformation!
The boundaries of the space extend sharply in all directions, and at a glance, it is vast enough to easily accommodate a small village.

What surprised him most was that the top of the space was no longer a chaotic mess, but rather showed signs of a clearing and turbidity separating.

Although it is still empty, it gives people a sense of the beginnings of a "clear sky and light clouds".

The space below also felt "solid" like it had never been before.

Without a doubt, if this evolution continues, this internal space will become a real world!

"I never expected the spatial expansion to be so great!" Jemin's face was filled with barely suppressed joy.

This achievement far exceeded his previous expectations.

Moreover, the changes brought about by the Golden Core Realm go far beyond this.

As Jieming calmed down, he felt his energy and spirit enhanced in all aspects, his five senses sharpened, his thinking speed improved, and his physical strength and recovery ability surged.

Furthermore, the true essence of the Foundation Establishment stage is completely transformed into a higher level of power, which is closer to the essence of the laws of heaven and earth.

Whether casting spells, crafting magical artifacts, or drawing talismans, the effects and efficiency will be significantly improved.

"At this stage, it can no longer be called true essence, but should be called 'spiritual power'."

Of course, the most crucial change is the increase in lifespan!
Under normal circumstances, due to the wizarding system's modification surgery, Jemin wouldn't care too much about changes in his lifespan.

However, the lifespan changes during the Golden Core stage far exceeded his expectations.

The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is 180 years, and that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is 800 years.

As for the Golden Core stage... According to the records of the Great Dao Book Pavilion, the longest-lived Golden Core cultivator in the clearly recorded history of cultivation lived for a full 1.12 million years!

The final cause of his death was that his soul had naturally weakened to the extreme, and no amount of soul-preserving treasures could save him; it was not due to the decay of his physical body.

In other words, once the Golden Elixir is achieved, the physical body theoretically gains immortality.

The limit of lifespan, in turn, depends on the lifespan of the soul!
The length of one's soul lifespan is closely related to the strength of one's will and the treasures and elixirs that have been consumed to strengthen the soul. After carefully examining his refreshed state, Jemin stood up with satisfaction, a sense of unprecedented power and control filling his heart.

He suppressed his excitement and rushed into the laboratory like a gust of wind.

For the next few months, the laboratory was brightly lit, and various energy fluctuations and strange humming sounds could be heard constantly.

Jemin immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge and the passion for creation.

Combining his new understanding of energy control from the Golden Core Realm, he began to improve and create his own talismanic artifacts.

The talismanic artifacts were originally a unique weapon system he created by combining the two characteristics of wizards—"leveraging knowledge to exert power" and cultivators—"using their own power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth."

During the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, limited by the scale of external forces they can draw upon, the talismanic artifacts are more about release speed and continuity, forming a pattern like the "Great Light Phase" that relies on terrifying firing speed and quantity to create a barrage of suppression.

However, the absolute destructive power of a single attack is limited, and it even requires additional power supply due to its high energy consumption.

But now, everything is different!
Jieming, who had reached the Golden Core Realm, experienced a qualitative leap in his ability to sense and mobilize the energy of heaven and earth.

He was finally able to integrate the characteristic of "drawing on external forces" into the core of the destructive power of the rune artifact at a deeper level!

Months later, Jemin arrived at a desolate mountain range in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, filled with hard metal ores, holding a newly crafted, thumb-sized, but much more complex, and crystal-clear rune artifact.

"Let's... see how it goes."

With a slight thought, he activated the basic function of this new talismanic artifact.

call out……

An inconspicuous energy blast, only the size of a fist, shot out from the front of the rune.

It silently sliced ​​through the air and crashed into a distant mountain peak nearly a thousand meters high, composed of high-density metallic ore.

next second...

boom! ! !
A deafening sound rang out, and the world lost its color!
A blazing ball of light, indescribably terrifying, suddenly erupted, expanding instantly and completely engulfing the upper half of the entire mountain!
Following closely behind was a shockwave that shook the earth, spreading outwards in a ring, with visible air waves sweeping outwards like a real tsunami!

This is not a simple explosion and collapse.

Under Jemin's solemn gaze, the upper half of the mountain that was hit was as if it had been wiped away by an invisible giant hand, and it was vaporized and annihilated in the blazing white light!

Below the explosion's epicenter, rock layers containing over 70% metal were torn apart and ripped apart layer by layer, like fragile biscuits.

It was transformed into tens of thousands of tons of metal fragments and molten magma, which were thrown thousands of meters into the air, and then crashed down like a devastating meteor shower!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and deafening roars filled the air, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Jemin hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a faint shield that blocked the incoming shockwaves and debris.

He looked at the completely altered terrain before him, and at the giant crater that was tens of meters deep and over a kilometer in diameter, and his eyes gleamed with a brilliant light.

"It's done!" he muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Amplified by drawing upon more elemental power, the power of this attack has surpassed the scope of a level two wizard and has firmly reached the destructive level of a level three wizard!

This means that his single strike already possesses the terrifying power to destroy a city!
