Chapter 304 Ruthless Killing_1
The battlefield overhead.
At this moment, Wang Hengqiu's face was incredibly flushed, a frenzied expression on his wrinkled, aged face.
All around him, within a thousand zhang radius, Spiritual Energy crazily surged into his Sky Spirit Cover.
In this moment, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was in total chaos, an intense wind howling as a dazzling light shone upon the entire land.
Seeing this terrifying situation, Chen Jingtian became even more certain of his conjecture.
This formidable preparation was undoubtedly for a Self-Detonating Golden Core!
In an instant, Chen Jingtian was shocked and angry, immediately turned around, and shot backwards, attempting to create a safe distance.
Having cultivated for a hundred years, he was acutely aware of the power of a Golden Core Cultivator's self-destruction.
One must know that in the Cultivation World, the self-detonation of a Golden Core is extremely powerful, and it is the last life-risking move of every Golden Core Cultivator.
However, once the Golden Core is detonated, it's a certain death situation, with neither treasured artifacts of the immortals nor heaven-defying elixirs capable of saving the life of the one who detonates.
Under normal circumstances, unless one is in an utterly dire situation, no one would use this method that ensures death.
Especially with Wang Hengqiu's Mid Stage Golden Core cultivation, the power unleashed by the self-detonation of his Golden Core would be unimaginable.
And according to hundreds of thousands of years of experience in the Cultivation World, the might of a self-detonated Golden Core exceeds even the strongest attack unleashed by a Golden Core Cultivator.
Therefore, the power of Wang Hengqiu's Self-Detonating Golden Core would at least rival his own strongest attack.
In this way, even with his greater strength, at such a close distance, chances were that he would be gravely injured, or even perish here.
Under these circumstances, Chen Jingtian's speed was exceedingly fast, retreating over a hundred zhang in an instant.
Not just him, but the Blazing Flame Celestial Lion and Blood Jiao, which were about to swallow Wang Hengqiu whole, also rapidly pulled back.
At this moment, the attacks of the two Third Order Demon Beasts were just an inch away, where only a moment was needed to claim Wang Hengqiu's life.
However, the Blazing Flame Celestial Lion and Blood Jiao also felt the breath of death and immediately retreated explosively.
Even the Late Stage of the Third Order Blazing Flame Celestial Lion recognized the might of Wang Hengqiu's Self-Detonating Golden Core.
If they continued their attack, even if they could forcefully take Wang Hengqiu's life, it would inevitably delay them for a few moments.
By then, once the Golden Core detonated, being so close, they might withstand the blast's injury, but would still be wounded at the very least.
By that time, how could they be a match for Chen Jingtian?
Understanding this, the Blazing Flame Celestial Lion and Blood Jiao's speed reached its peak, no less desperate than if fleeing for their lives.
Clearly, they too were determined to escape at all costs to avoid as much damage as possible from the Golden Core's explosion!
At this precise moment, with Wang Hengqiu at the center, everyone, whether it was Chen Jingtian who came for rescue or the Blazing Flame Celestial Lion and Blood Jiao who wanted his life, began to rapidly retreat, increasing the distance between them.
Including Zhu Yun and the other battling Demonic Beasts from both sides, they all spontaneously ceased their fighting and scattered around the perimeter.
As time went on.
Inside Wang Hengqiu's body was a complete upheaval, with Spiritual Power hidden within his body crazily pouring into the Golden Core, incapable of stopping.
Soon, he found his Golden Core, which had been greatly depleted of Spiritual Power, had become fully recharged once again.
In this instant, he could clearly feel that the Spiritual Power within his Golden Core was chaotic and complex, yet the accumulated energy was unmistakably more than what it had been at its peak.
As the energy reached its zenith, seemingly about to overflow at any moment.
By now, the crazed Wang Hengqiu had calmed down, yet his eyes revealed a complicated look, as if he were filled with regret or unwillingness.
In fact, in that moment of absolute desperation, he had no choice but to avoid the fatal attack, and the decision to Self-Detonate the Golden Core was a forced choice.
And now, his Golden Core being charged with Spiritual Power, had reached the condition for detonation.
Everything was set in stone, even if he regretted it, nothing could be done now.
Since that was the case, might as well make a decisive move, using his own life to gain the greatest advantage possible.
After all, he only had a few decades of his lifespan left, and without any hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, he could at least make some contributions for his juniors and disciples.
By then, considering his sacrifice, the Zhenyang Sect would likely provide significant support to his descendants and juniors.
Thinking of this, Wang Hengqiu's expression was resolute, ready to trigger the explosion of his Golden Core.
Having made up his mind, Wang Hengqiu looked at the retreating Chen Jingtian and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Junior Brother Chen, please report the truth to the Sect Leader, and take good care of my descendants in the future!"
"Haha... this brother is going!"
With a hearty laugh, Wang Hengqiu's gaze shifted, his blood-red eyes staring at the Blazing Flame Celestial Lion, revealing a maniacal smile.
By this time, many at the fringe of the battle group were at a safe distance.
Whether Demonic Beasts or Human Cultivators, all stopped their actions and turned their gaze unifiedly towards Wang Hengqiu in the sky.
Under everyone's watch, Wang Hengqiu's momentum climbed to the apex.
"Bang..." A thunderous explosion resounded.
One could only see the overcast sky suddenly filled with a radiant, scorching sun.
Immediately after, a mushroom cloud surged into the sky, swiftly expanding in an exceedingly short time until it shrouded the entire battlefield's sky.
At that moment, looking around, the sun was exceptionally blinding, and the powerful shockwave scattered in all directions, stirring heaven and earth into chaos.
At this time, many First Order Demon Beasts were left dizzy and disoriented just by the sound of the explosion.
