Chapter 1024: She Was as Ruthless as an Executioner

The dust in the space rose without wind, forming one small vortex after another.

Yet, Gu Jin, who was meditating, remained untouched by dust, as if it consciously avoided her.

Gu Jin, in the midst of a breakthrough, furrowed her brows, her expression looking agonized, as if enduring immense pain.

She felt the transformation within her body and the frantic spinning of the inner core in her Dantian, as if the entire person was being torn apart.

The vast spiritual energy in the space surged into her body inexhaustibly.

Breaking through to the Golden Core is far less easy than Foundation Establishment.

The stream water that spread throughout her body solidified the breakthrough cultivation with pain, making the process exceptionally excruciating.

This was something she had to endure for breaking through the Golden Core; the heart-wrenching pain of her meridians being severed, even Gu Jin couldn’t help but let out a slight groan.

Once the breakthrough begins, it must not be interrupted.

Gu Jin endured the pain in her body, incessantly absorbing the surrounding vast spiritual energy.

After an unknown period of time, she saw the inner core in her Dantian, under the vast flood of spiritual power, condense into a blood-colored Golden Core.

This was the inner core of the Golden Core breakthrough, whose small power was incredibly astounding.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom! Boom!!"

One after another, thunderous booms, stronger than before, approached from afar.

One of them struck Gu Jin’s body, causing her to shiver slightly.

The sound of bones dislocating echoed as the lightning tribulation struck her shoulder.

Gu Jin opened her eyes, revealing a golden brilliance within.

Severe pain emanated from her shoulder, yet she didn’t even frown.

When the next lightning tribulation was about to arrive, she flipped her hands, raising her palms upward.

"Boom!"

The powerful spiritual power Gu Jin released collided with the lightning tribulation.

A massive crash echoed.

The stream not far away was affected, with the water surface appearing as if it was raining, forming dense droplets.

"Boom!!!"

Another lightning tribulation.

Gu Jin stood up on the spot, the spiritual power in her Dantian rampaging, bursting forth from her body to clash again with the lightning tribulation.

The flying dust around swirled like mist, and the dust vortex on the ground doubled.

The massive crash dissipated, dodging another lightning tribulation.

Gu Jin’s eyes emitted a sharp light, her fiercely beautiful face turned skyward.

Her aura was like an unsheathing blade, powerful spiritual energy accompanied by pervasive evil qi, making her resemble a ruthless executioner.

"Boom! Boom!!"

As the surrounding dust slowly dispersed, the thunder rumbled again.

This time, two lightning tribulations occurred simultaneously.

Gu Jin’s eyebrows slightly moved, her face visibly darkening, her eyes filled with rampant fierceness.

The abundant and full spiritual power in her Dantian, but this time with two lightning tribulations, made her uneasy.

With the lightning tribulation approaching, she had no time to think and could only fight with all her might.

This time, she poured all her strength and spirit into the confrontation.

Without the surplus spiritual energy to nourish it, the Golden Core in her Dantian visibly paled.

Gu Jin observed this but still chose to go all out.

She could sense the two lightning tribulations this time carried great malice; if she did not exert her utmost effort, her breakthrough to the Golden Core might end halfway.

"Boom!!!"

"Bang bang bang!!!"

"Splash splash splash!!!"

The powerful spiritual energy and the two lightning tribulations collided, creating a rather spectacular and shocking scene.

The water in the stream surged, rising several meters high, like a waterfall.

The ground centered around Gu Jin revealed one adult-sized pit after another.

Even the spirit field she had planted, many medicinal herbs, fruits, and vegetables were blasted out of the spirit field soil.
