Chapter 397 - Golden Core in Abdomen, Fate in His Hands

Rumble!

Chen Fan’s actions triggered the tribulation clouds. They churned violently, forming a terrifying lightning vortex. It seemed as if the tribulation was about to burst out of the vortex.

Chla! Chla!

Crackle!

Bolts of lightning snaked down, piercing the air and striking Chen Fan. Yet, to him, it felt like mere tickles; he hardly felt a thing.

“Golden core, out!” Chen Fan blurted.

Immediately, his head radiated a burst of golden light, and a golden core flew out, hovering above his head.

This was Chen Fan’s golden core!

However, a faint silver glow lingered on it, indicating that he had yet to completely solidify it. It was about ninety-nine percent complete.

“Gather for me!” Chen Fan said with a wave of his hand. Primeval stones piled up like a mountain around him before exploding, turning into a terrifying storm of primeval qi and quickly rushing into the golden core.

Buzz, buzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The golden core’s rotation reached its maximum speed. The buzzing sound echoed up to five kilometers away, even stirring up a fierce wind within that radius, howling wildly.

Boom!

A resplendent light pillar erupted from the golden core, rushing up into the sky and the terrifying tribulation clouds, dyeing the pitch-black clouds golden.

The qi of his core rushed into the sky!

Chen Fan’s golden core was complete.

“It’s done! He has fully formed his golden core!”

“That’s right, now he has to get through the golden core tribulation. It’s also a baptism for the golden core. It will make his golden core even stronger by removing all impurities.”

“It’s about to start!”

Everyone saw the golden core qi rushing straight into the sky. They knew that it was the sign of the completion of the golden core.

Chen Fan’s core was no longer illusory—it was a genuine golden core. That meant he had advanced into the Core Formation realm.

If he survived the tribulation, he would live to enjoy the life of a true top expert of the Great Chu Empire. The Spring Autumn Sect would have another holy disciple.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

A lightning spear descended from the heavens, targeting Chen Fan's golden core.

Yet, it seemed the lightning spear had struck a metal sphere. A clang rang out as dazzling sparks flew out. Soon, the lightning spear exploded with a boom.

“Come on!”

Chen Fan opened his mouth and inhaled deeply, drawing in and swallowing countless lightning snakes.

Immediately, lightning flashed and thunder roared on him. Crackling sounds filled the air, his hair standing on end, and a burnt scent permeated the area.

However, Chen Fan’s aura grew increasingly powerful and vigorous.

The members of Heaven’s Alliance were also watching as Chen Fan underwent his golden core tribulation. Their gazes were cold as they prayed for him, just not in the way he would expect.

“Fail! Please, don’t survive the tribulation!”

“He must fail, he must die!”

“Kid, hold on! You must hold on!” Wei Buyu grew tense, his hands balled into fists, his palms covered in sweat.

Chen Fan's golden core tribulation was unprecedentedly terrifying, unlike any regular golden core tribulation. It resembled more a divine nascent tribulation or a heavenly star tribulation! [1]

As streaks of extremely terrifying lightning bolts descended, far from shattering Chen Fan's golden core, they made his golden core grow increasingly bright. Its aura only grew stronger with time.

Rumble!

As the golden core tribulation neared its conclusion, the lightning palace and the lightning pagoda descended, trying to suppress and strike Chen Fan's golden core.

Thump, thump, thump!

However, Chen Fan’s golden core radiated endless golden light. It was simply unbreakable as it collided violently with the lightning pagoda and the lightning palace. As the collisions went on, it completed its baptism. It grew more mellow and fuller, its powers surging.

Chen Fan’s flesh also grew increasingly tougher. Lightning runes flickered on his skin, and within his flesh and his blood cells, lightning dragon-elephants cried out.

Roar!

He suddenly roared to the skies, the sounds were like the tide. The air in the area exploded, producing several white airwaves.

After the baptism, the golden core’s light converged inward and returned to its natural state. Then, it went back to Chen Fan’s abdomen.

“Swallowing the golden core, my fate is in my hands!” Chen Fan bellowed, his voice unrestrained. Terrifying strength rushed and flowed along his limbs and skeleton, eager to be unleashed.

“Annihilate!”

He threw out a palm strike at the tribulation clouds in the air. With a resounding boom, a gigantic hand materialized, engulfing the skies and dispersing the dissipating clouds, erasing them instantly.
