Brother Who Determines the Fate of the Nation: My Great Emperor's Cultivation Level Exposed by

Before he finished speaking, Elder Lingguang flicked his sleeve, and a surge of peak Golden Core spiritual power enveloped Su Xuan. The world spun around him, and the mountains and rivers seemed to recede. When his vision cleared again, he was already standing in the familiar cave on the main peak.

The moment Su Xuan's feet touched the ground, countless restrictive patterns lit up on the four walls of the cave, and golden light intertwined to form an airtight cage, completely isolating spiritual energy from the outside.

Elder Lingguang stood with his hands behind his back at the center of the formation, his withered figure enveloped in golden light, and the kindness that had been on his old face for more than half a year was gone.

"I have been waiting for this day for three years."

The oppressive aura of a peak Golden Core cultivator poured down without reservation, instantly thickening the air in the entire cave. The stone bricks on the ground shattered one after another, and the futons, stone tables, and teacups were all crushed into dust.

Su Xuan's knees bent slightly.

Just for a moment.

He straightened up, and the spiritual power that had been suppressed within him for nearly two years was finally released from its shackles at this moment.

The left eye is crimson, and the right eye is ice blue.

Samadhi True Fire surged from his left palm, while extremely cold water condensed from his right palm. The two opposing forces intertwined and swirled around him, and the water vapor and firelight exploded simultaneously, forcibly tearing a gap in the oppressive aura of the peak Golden Core cultivator.

Elder Lingguang's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Dual attributes of water and fire? And Samadhi True Fire?" The old man grinned, revealing a set of yellowed teeth.

"Good, good, even more perfect than I expected."

Without wasting words, Su Xuan condensed the Samadhi True Fire into a musket, and the extreme cold water activated by the Azure Wave Technique transformed into ice armor covering his entire body before he shot out.

Elder Lingguang raised his hand and slapped down.

The withered hand shone with golden light, and a pure golden aura wrapped in destructive spiritual power collided head-on with Su Xuan's musket.

boom.

Su Xuan was sent flying, his back slamming into the barrier. The barrier's patterns flickered violently a few times, bouncing him back. He tasted a salty flavor at the corner of his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Three ribs were broken.

The difference in cultivation level is stark; there's an entire major realm separating the late Foundation Establishment stage from the peak Golden Core stage.

Elder Lingguang did not pursue him, but stood there tilting his head to look at him, his scrutinizing posture like that of a butcher examining a piece of fine meat.

"Struggle, I love watching my prey struggle in its death throes."

Su Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but it didn't recede.

The potential of the Asura God Body was unleashed amidst extreme pain; the broken ribs cracked and were healing at a visible speed.

The golden patterns on the Vajra Indestructible King's body spread from his spine to his limbs, covering 70% of his skin.

He rushed forward again.

For the next half incense stick's time, the battle inside the cave became extremely fierce. Su Xuan's Asura Divine Body was shattered and repaired time and time again. The Samadhi True Fire could not burn through Elder Lingguang's Golden Core protective aura, and the extremely cold water could not freeze the old man's spiritual power circulation.

My left shoulder is broken.

My right leg bone is fractured.

Three vertebrae on the spine were displaced by the shock.

His entire body was covered in wounds, and blood dripped down his robes, staining the stone slabs beneath his feet a dark red.

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.

The barrage of comments went from a frenzy of activity to a collective silence, with only a few occasionally popping up.

"I can't beat them, I really can't beat them, the difference in skill level is too great."

"Su Shen, run! No, the formation is sealed off, there's no way to escape."

"That old bastard has been plotting for three years, scheming against this body ever since he took me in as a disciple. He's too cunning."

Within the forbidden area.

Su Ruoruo was trembling all over, covering her mouth with both hands, and tears were falling in large drops. The figure covered in blood and still rushing forward on the sky made her heart ache.

Inside the cave.

Su Xuan knelt on one knee, his breathing heavy and rapid. Seventy percent of his spiritual energy had been consumed, and the self-healing speed of his Asura Divine Body was also decreasing.

Elder Lingguang stood three zhang away, half of his robe burned away by the Samadhi True Fire, revealing the withered flesh beneath. Several burns were still smoking, but to an old monster at the peak of the Golden Core stage, these injuries were nothing to worry about.

"Enough," Elder Lingguang walked over and looked down at him from his superior position.

"I've had enough of this death throes; it's time to end it."

Su Xuan raised his head.

His left eye was extremely red, and his right eye was extremely blue. The two colors swirled and intertwined in his eye sockets, and an unprecedented force was forcibly pulled out from the deepest part of his dantian.

Burning the sky and boiling the sea.

Canglan Jue.

At this moment, he combined two martial arts techniques that should not have been merged in the most violent way.

A sharp pain, as if his meridians were being torn apart, surged through his body, and blood gushed from all seven orifices at the same time, but his hands had already completed the final hand seal.

A beam of light, interwoven with water and fire, shot out from his palm. The crimson and ice-blue colors spiraled together, and the space around it distorted and trembled.

Elder Lingguang's pupils contracted sharply, and he pushed forward with both palms, creating a protective barrier of qi that the Golden Core cultivator had fully activated in front of him.

The beam of light collided with the barrier of qi.

The barrier held for three breaths.

Broken.

The pillar of water and fire pierced through Elder Lingguang's left side of his body, from his shoulder all the way to his waist and abdomen, shredding his flesh, bones, and meridians into nothingness.

Elder Lingguang screamed and fell backward. Half of his body was gone, and blood gushed out from his remains. The spiritual light of his golden core flickered wildly in his dantian.

"Well, well, what a monster."

Before Elder Lingguang's mangled body even hit the ground, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from the top of his head, and a phantom humanoid figure burst out from the shattered skull. It was his primordial spirit, the primordial spirit of a Golden Core peak cultivator, so solid that it was almost indistinguishable from a physical body.

Su Xuan's body had reached its limit after forcibly fusing the two techniques. He was bleeding from all seven orifices, most of his meridians were broken, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

His primordial spirit transformed into a stream of light and directly struck his brow.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Elder Lingguang's primordial spirit hovered above Su Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness, looked around, and let out a hearty laugh.

"My good disciple, stop struggling! Your perfect body is mine now!"

He laughed three times.

The fourth sound effect got stuck in his throat.

In the deepest part of his consciousness, in that dark area he had never touched before, something was awakening.

A phantom image.

Elder Lingguang's primordial spirit froze in that instant.

Three thousand years of cultivation experience and the understanding of the peak of the Golden Core realm—everything was telling him one fact: the thing in front of him was not at a level that should exist in this world.

"A demon from beyond the heavens?! No! What kind of monster are you?!"

The desperate screams hadn't even finished.

The phantom lowered its eyes slightly and glanced at him.

Just one glance.

A high-dimensional soul crushing force descended from the sky. Elder Lingguang's primordial spirit didn't even have time to think of escaping before it began to shatter from the middle. The cracks spread to his limbs and then to his head. With a snap, his entire primordial spirit exploded into countless points of light, and his divine soul essence was torn into pieces, scattering and drifting in his sea of ​​consciousness.
