Lu Yang had now entered a rather mysterious state. His perception of the outside world had significantly decreased, only able to sense the Golden Elixir stage cultivator attacking him, while the farther areas became blurry.

 

Contrarily, the fog in his dantian was gradually thinning, as if he could see what the halo behind the fog was just by dispersing it.

 

A beast with a tiger's head and a dragon's body suddenly pounced on Lu Yang. This was a Tiger Dragon, a creature that lived in water for a long time. It was in the late Golden Elixir stage and could temporarily move on land. It was brought out of the lake by Sky Shepherd Grass specifically to hunt Lu Yang.

 

Lu Yang sensed the Tiger Dragon's attack and gently exhaled a breath of Samadhi True Fire, attaching it to his Qingfeng Sword.

 

The already sharp Qingfeng Sword, now with the Samadhi True Fire, was even more powerful than before.

 

The Tiger Dragon roared and charged at Lu Yang. With a twist of his wrist and a soft shout of "Sever", the Qingfeng Sword swung, and the Tiger Dragon's head rolled to Lu Yang's feet, the cut-off part still emitting an enticing barbecue aroma.

 

This was the "Severing Technique", not as powerful as the "Breaking Technique" that drained most of his spiritual power, but it could be used continuously and was slightly stronger than the "Slicing Technique".

 

Sky Shepherd Grass wanted to control the Tiger Dragon's corpse to attack, but Lu Yang had anticipated this and once again used the "Severing Technique", cutting the Tiger Dragon into pieces.

 

Another beast appeared at Lu Yang's feet, smaller in size, with three legs, and a shape similar to a turtle. It had sand in its mouth and spat it towards Lu Yang's shadow.

 

It was a Drought Snake, capable of shooting sand at shadows and poisoning its enemies through their shadows.

 

Lu Yang had his divine sense activated all along and had noticed the Drought Snake's small movements. He forcefully infused sword energy into the Qingfeng Sword, causing the Samadhi True Fire on the sword to surge and ignite a blazing fire, instantly changing Lu Yang's shadow.

 

Lu Yang counterattacked, piercing through the Drought Snake's hard, dark green shell, killing it.

 

A Bashe and a Drought Snake appeared on both sides of Lu Yang. Both were ancient beasts, similar in appearance, both serpentine. They attacked simultaneously, intending to strangle Lu Yang to death.

 

Lu Yang drew a prison on the ground, dragging the Bashe underground. He also went underground, where it was inconvenient to use the Qingfeng Sword, so he covered his hands with True Fire and attacked with the Arhat Fist. The fist imprints were dazzling, turning the soil into scorched earth. The Bashe didn't even have a chance to react before its dantian was shattered by the Arhat Fist.

 

Lu Yang emerged from behind the Drought Snake, taking a Great Restoration Pill to recover his spiritual power while using the Qingfeng Sword to split the Drought Snake in two.

 

"I don't believe that so many Golden Elixir stage beasts can't take you down! You're just at the Foundation Establishment stage, stop struggling and die!" Sky Shepherd Grass panicked and had to cover his inner turmoil by shouting.

 

Whether it was the Tiger Dragon or the Bashe, these were his trump card servants. They all had great potential in life and were only second to Lu Yang as nourishment. Now, they were all killed by Lu Yang's smooth and flowing movements.

 

He felt that Lu Yang was getting stronger step by step, his control over his power becoming more proficient, his movements more graceful and coherent, and his battle tactics more ingenious, able to achieve victory at the smallest cost.

 

This change must be stopped!

 

He shifted his focus from the Immortal Fairy to Lu Yang, sending more beasts to besiege Lu Yang.

 

The Immortal Fairy noticed Lu Yang's changes and couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.

 

More and more beasts attacked Lu Yang, either being killed by him or having their dantian shattered by the Arhat Fist.

 

In contrast, Lu Yang's physical condition was getting worse. The continuous use of sword techniques and the Arhat Fist caused his spiritual power to deplete rapidly. Even the constant consumption of the Great Restoration Pill couldn't keep up with the speed of his spiritual power depletion.

 

Several Golden Elixir stage beasts had severely injured Lu Yang. His left arm was broken, and his abdomen and back were slashed several times, the deepest wound revealing stark white bones.

 

He was covered in blood and staggered as he walked.

 

At this rate, he would soon die from exhaustion, fulfilling Sky Shepherd Grass's wish.

 

This should have been a good thing, but Sky Shepherd Grass couldn't feel happy.

 

He noticed that Lu Yang's wounds were increasing, but his eyes were as bright as the moon, especially noticeable in the dark forest.

 

"What are you laughing at! What are you laughing at!" Sky Shepherd Grass roared, feeling as if Lu Yang was mocking him.

 

Yes, Lu Yang was laughing, and he was very happy.

 

"Why can't I laugh? A bunch of Golden Elixir stage beasts swarm me, but they can't beat me, a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Shouldn't I be happy?"

 

"Am I too strong, or are these Golden Elixir stage beasts too weak?"

 

Lu Yang took steps towards Sky Shepherd Grass. Due to his severe injuries, he almost fell several times, but even so, it made Sky Shepherd Grass's heart pound.

 

Sky Shepherd Grass, like a madman, ordered the beasts to attack Lu Yang together, not caring whether he could control them precisely. Even if it was just pressure, he had to crush this human genius to death!

 

Lu Yang didn't even have the strength to hold his sword, dealing with the beasts with ordinary fists, trying to squeeze out the last bit of strength.

 

At the same time, the fog in his dantian was getting thinner.

 

Or rather, it wasn't that the fog was thinning, but that the fog was being absorbed by the halo behind it, making the halo more complete.

 

Lu Yang had a feeling and guessed the source of the fog: "Is it the battle experience I accumulated from challenging higher levels in the forest?"

 

Lu Yang's body was changing bit by bit. The wounds on his abdomen and back were gradually healing and scabbing over, and his broken left arm miraculously reconnected. His spirit, energy, and soul were unified, like a torch, burning fiercely, and constantly being fueled, making the spirit-energy-soul torch burn higher and higher.The fog completely dissipated, revealing the true face of the glowing halo – a full, amber-colored Golden Elixir.

 

This Golden Elixir was incredibly mysterious, its appearance signifying invincibility. With a slight rotation, it swept away Lu Yang's fatigue.

 

Lu Yang felt an endless surge of power, a force so vast that it was beyond what one could possess at the Foundation Establishment stage.

 

Under the impact of this power, the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage was easily broken through.

 

Golden Elixir stage!

 

"Angry God, kill it!"

 

A majestic beast stood out among the crowd in the Golden Elixir stage. It was the beast Angry God, with the body of a jackal and the head of a dragon, born of a dragon and a jackal, holding a treasure sword in its mouth, glaring at Lu Yang.

 

This was a great demon comparable to the Nine Headed Dragon, the king of the dense forest, but in front of the current Lu Yang, it was nothing.

 

Lu Yang extended his index and middle fingers, brought them together, and transformed them into a sharp sword shadow.

 

"Go."

 

The sword shadow swung down and then disappeared.

 

Angry God glared at Lu Yang, a very fine line of blood appeared from the top of Angry God's head, extending all the way to its tail.

 

Lu Yang gently blew a breath, and Angry God split in two, falling to both sides.

 

Just this sword shadow alone was more powerful than Lu Yang's strongest Breaking Character!

 

"You've broken through to the Golden Elixir stage!" Sky Shepherd Grass looked at Lu Yang incredulously. The shock he had experienced before was nothing compared to this. He had never heard of such a breakthrough method.

 

Lu Yang ignored Sky Shepherd Grass's shock. The current Sky Shepherd Grass posed no threat to him. He was studying the newly formed Golden Elixir.

 

"This Golden Elixir seems to have many mysteries that I haven't discovered yet, and it's not recorded in the ancient books. In other words, this Golden Elixir is unique. I should give it a name… I've got it, let's call it the Primordial Chaos Elixir!"

 

Just as Lu Yang had settled on the name for the Golden Elixir, the excited voice of the Immortal Fairy rang in his ear.

 

"Isn't this my Invincible Elixir!"

 

"Lu Yang, you're a hypocrite. You say you absolutely won't form my Golden Elixir, but in your heart, you still think my Invincible Elixir is the most suitable for you!"

 

The Immortal Fairy had dealt with the beasts surrounding her, she nudged Lu Yang with her elbow, winked at him, and smiled brilliantly.

 

Lu Yang: "…What the hell?!"
