The Elven Cultivator

Chapter 277: Chapter 252: Breaking the Shell Barrier, Golden Core Second Stage

The moment he exhaled, the breath condensed into a long, five-colored streamer of light. It coiled in the air like a serpent for a few moments before slowly dissipating.

Anton could feel that the Magical Power in his body was now at least three times more abundant than before his breakthrough.

Feeling the surging Magical Power within him, a genuine, joyous smile spread across his face.

After advancing to the Golden Core stage, Anton’s biggest frustration had been his insufficient Magical Power.

Wielding sword light consumed Magical Power.

Unleashing Divine Techniques consumed Magical Power.

Using Magical Treasures also consumed Magical Power.

He often found himself running so low on Magical Power that he had to start consuming Pills in the middle of a fight.

That was exactly what had happened during the recent battle at the spatial node.

Fortunately, such predicaments should become far less common from now on.

With a mere thought from Anton, a strand of Profound Gold Sword Light leaped from his chest. It danced and circled in the sky above Wulei Valley, emitting a clear, joyful hum.

An overwhelming aura of sharpness poured down, carving countless fine sword marks into the surrounding cracked rock walls.

Anton focused his senses on it and quickly got a measure of its power.

A single strand of this sword light now possessed an attack power not much weaker than that of a newly-ascended Legend.

Unleashing all two hundred fifty-six strands at once would be equivalent to two hundred fifty-six newly-ascended Legends attacking simultaneously.

Of course, in a real battle, the sword light was just an inanimate object. It couldn’t wield the Power of Law with the flexibility of a sapient being or adapt to changing circumstances, so its actual combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of a true newly-ascended Legend.

Even so, faced with such a massive numerical advantage, any defense could be torn open through sheer force.

He was now fully confident that if he were to face the Green Abyss Dragon Irad again, he wouldn’t need to join forces with Valin. He could confront the beast head-on all by himself.

’I should now have the power of a peak Legend.’

A faint smile appeared on Anton’s face.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the dissipating thunderclouds to the far horizon.

The Shell Barrier was broken. The next step was to condense the Magical Power True Seal.

The so-called Magical Power True Seal was formed by deeply fusing one’s understanding of the Power of Law with their Golden Core, thereby condensing an insignia within the Pill Body itself.

This insignia acted as a bridge, allowing a Cultivator to commune with the Heaven and Earth Law.

Once the seal was successfully formed, a Cultivator’s control over the Power of Law would become far more masterful, and the might of their Divine Techniques would increase dramatically.

This seal was also the key to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The formation of a Magical Power True Seal depended on three key elements.

The first, naturally, was a Cultivator’s mastery and understanding of the Power of Law.

The more Laws a Cultivator fused with their Golden Core, the more powerful the resulting Magical Power True Seal would be.

The Nascent Soul they eventually nurtured would also be stronger, and their potential for future achievement would be higher.

However, due to limitations in personal talent, the type of Cultivation Technique practiced, and the sheer difficulty involved, most Cultivators chose to fuse with only one of the Five Elements.

Only a rare few with exceptional talent would attempt to fuse two or even three Laws.

If a Cultivator with insufficient talent tried to force the fusion of multiple Laws, they would likely fail to form a Magical Power True Seal before their lifespan ran out, ultimately returning to dust.

Those capable of fusing all Five Elemental Laws were rarer than a phoenix feather.

But Anton didn’t have to agonize over the decision.

The Taichu Hiding Skill he practiced already encompassed the Five Elements. With that, plus the long lifespan of the Elf Race, his journey on the path of the Dao would be for naught if he didn’t dare to challenge the highest difficulty.

In fact, the very reason he had chosen to cultivate five different Divine Techniques after forming his Golden Core was to prepare for condensing a Five Element True Seal.
