Mortal Mirror

For some unknown reason, the outside world seemed to have passed in an instant, but Li Ergou felt as if he had spent hundreds of years in this cocoon.

At this moment, he only felt full of power. Knowing that he cultivated both the Dharma body and martial body, the two complemented each other, making him exceptionally powerful. He was already capable of challenging opponents of higher cultivation levels.

Being at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was already able to challenge cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. But at this moment, with both of his cultivation methods breaking through simultaneously, he felt his combat strength had increased five to six times.

In his dantian, above the golden foundation field, a golden core the size of a pigeon egg floated. Most surprisingly, when he achieved the Golden Core stage, the golden characters in the middle of the foundation field suddenly lit up.

One by one, the obscure and difficult characters were directly imprinted on his golden core. Therefore, his golden core was not smooth but carried a full ten characters.

He discovered that every time the characters flashed, the golden core would rotate once, and with each rotation, it would automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

Golden Core cultivators don't need to cultivate, as the golden core can automatically absorb spiritual energy from the outside world.

However, this process is very slow. The golden core rotates slowly; under normal circumstances, it takes a day for the golden core to rotate once, and the amount of spiritual energy absorbed is naturally not much, depending on the richness of the spiritual energy in the location.

Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy absorbed by the golden core rotating on its own for a month is equivalent to the spiritual energy content of a Dao-hidden Golden Coin. This is also the energy statistics method for Dao-hidden Golden Coins.

And Li Ergou's strange golden core, with the help of those mysterious characters, could rotate ten times a day. What did this mean? It meant that Li Ergou's golden core absorbed spiritual energy ten times faster than ordinary people, ten times!

It might not seem that terrifying to say ten times the speed, but imagine this: a year of his normal cultivation is equivalent to ten years of someone else's cultivation. A hundred years of his cultivation is equivalent to a thousand years of someone else's cultivation.

With this comparison, you can immediately see how terrifying this tenfold speed is.

If this matter were known to outsiders, Li Ergou would probably be taken away by the major sects immediately, not to be accepted as a disciple, but to be locked up and studied thoroughly.

They would even dissect him to see what cultivation methods he practiced and what peerless medicines he consumed. After all, this is a shortcut to immortality.

Not to mention others, even Li Ergou himself couldn't believe it; it was too shocking.

And he not only possessed one golden core, but also cultivated both the Dharma body and martial body. Martial arts also required core formation. In the divine palace of his heart, a golden core, also the size of a pigeon egg, had condensed, but the color of this golden core was white.

This was a golden core unique to martial arts cultivators. However, Li Ergou felt that his golden core was also a bit strange. Why? A normal golden core is pure white, but his golden core had a circle of golden threads.

As a wild cultivator, he naturally didn't know what was going on. He figured that even normal martial arts grandmasters might not know the secrets behind it.

After thinking for a while, he felt that these threads might be related to the fish scales that Jin Lin gave him. Now that he thought about it, that Jin Lin was probably not an ordinary goldfish.

Perhaps this creature carried divine blood, otherwise, how could a small goldfish have such great abilities? A single fish scale could help someone achieve the path of martial arts. This was simply unheard of.

In any case, he now felt incredibly powerful.

Just as he was indulging in this feeling, he suddenly felt a powerful killing intent enveloping him. Only then did he realize that he was still in battle.

Outside, just as the Xuan Snake True Person's sword shadow was about to fall on the cocoon.

Boom, a loud noise rang out, and the cocoon burst into dazzling light. The entire cocoon exploded, and then a large hand stretched out, clenched into a fist, and punched out. The seemingly ordinary punch directly knocked the powerful sword shadow away.

Then, Li Ergou's figure floated out. At this moment, he had just achieved the Golden Core stage and carried endless terrifying aura.

Countless tendons, at this moment, also sublimated to the extreme and gathered together. He couldn't help but comfortably let the tendons transform into a tail and float out, but at this moment, the tendons were no longer smooth.

The triangular tail tip, the smooth tail, actually had raised ridges and countless barbs. Watching it, it was truly extremely hideous and terrifying.

The huge tail, a full ten feet long, swayed behind him like a large snake.

Snowflake Holy Maiden, Wu Xiazi, Xiao Xiao, including the Xuan Snake True Person, were all horrified, feeling as if they had seen a monster.

Snowflake Holy Maiden and Wu Xiazi thought that this tail was some inheritance of the Heavenly Silkworm. Little did they know that it was a terrifying thing that Li Ergou had refined himself.

Li Ergou's body floated in mid-air. He looked at Xuan Snake True Person and snorted coldly, "Old Xuan Snake, you didn't expect it, did you? My Li Ergou's life is strong, and I've turned misfortune into blessing. Now, please bear my wrath."

Without saying a word, Li Ergou rushed directly towards Xuan Snake True Person.

Now that Li Ergou carried the Golden Core aura, he was naturally extremely fierce. Although the Xuan Snake True Person was at the Nascent Soul stage, unfortunately, this guy was already seriously injured and at the end of his rope.

Even so, he curled his lips and said with venomous eyes, "Stinky brat, do you really think you can deal with me just because I'm seriously injured?

The terror of the Nascent Soul stage is something you can't imagine. The gap of a single realm is also insurmountable for you."

Li Ergou naturally wouldn't explain to him that he cultivated both the Dharma body and martial body and could fight beyond his level. Most importantly, at this moment, he only felt that if he didn't vent the power in his body, it would be really uncomfortable.

He smiled coldly and shouted loudly, "Netherworld, descend!"

Under the call of his powerful will, the entire cave suddenly became gloomy. In the blink of an eye, the Xuan Snake True Person felt as if the space-time in front of him had changed, and all the scenery disappeared.

Before him was a gray sky, and the earth was gray. A sense of vicissitudes, coldness, despair, and oppression swept over him.

At this moment, Li Ergou's cultivation had greatly improved, and the Netherworld he summoned had also expanded, with a space of fifty feet. What made him most happy was that a withered tree, three feet tall, had appeared in the originally empty Netherworld space.

With a thought, the information of the withered tree appeared in his mind.

It turned out that this withered tree was equivalent to the guiding coordinate of the Netherworld. In the future, if he wanted to summon Netherworld creatures, he would use this withered tree as the coordinate to allow them to find this place.

But how to summon the creatures of the Netherworld?
