Chapter 462: Shattering the Core, Forming the Sea!

"Hiss..."

Ye Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air; the feeling of his dantian collapsing was far from pleasant.

He felt as if someone had struck his abdomen with a heavy hammer of ten thousand jun, the pain nearly taking his breath away.

Shattering the core to form the sea was no trivial matter; a considerable number of martial artists dared not take this step in their entire lives.

A single misstep could lead to the destruction of one's Dao and the perishing of one's body!

In fact, across the myriad worlds, martial artists died at this step every moment!

In his previous life, Ye Yuan had also gone through this process, and the agonizing pain was still fresh in his memory.

However, this life's core shattering seemed even more painful than that time!

This time, Ye Yuan shattered his core in an almost perfect state; the primal energy within his body had reached saturation.

Such a collapse of abundant primal energy was no easy thing for Ye Yuan either.

"Rumble!"

Ye Yuan's dantian cracked inch by inch, like parched earth covered in wrinkles.

It wasn't just the dantian that cracked, but also the primal energy crystals within it.

The cracks grew larger and larger, until finally, with a thunderous crash, it collapsed, shattering into pieces!

"Ah...!"

Ye Yuan let out a long roar, releasing all the pain.

At this moment, the pain reached its peak!

But this was only the beginning; the shattered primal energy crystals continued to crack and disintegrate!

Once the process of core shattering began, it was like the collapse of a world, until everything turned into nothingness!

Just then, a gentle medicinal power merged into Ye Yuan's dantian, sprinkling over the primal energy crystals and the fractured dantian.

In an instant, Ye Yuan's pain greatly diminished.

This Tuohai Pill was a top-tier third-grade pill from the Divine Realm, specifically used to冲击 the Sea Formation realm, and was nonexistent in the lower realms.

During this period, Ye Yuan had traveled to many places and had long been gathering the various herbs needed for the Tuohai Pill.

Ye Yuan found several ingredients in the secret realm, and the remaining few that were harder to find, he obtained from Xing Yuan.

Although the resources of the Hurricane Realm were scarce, the Alchemist Association, as a pinnacle existence in the realm, had no trouble finding a few third-grade herbs.

The Tuohai Pill was no ordinary pill; even in the Divine Realm, very few knew of it.

This pill was used by the major top forces of the Divine Realm to nurture their junior disciples, and only true geniuses could obtain it.

The reason was simple: only the two major forces, the Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association, possessed this pill formula!

The Tuohai Pill not only alleviated pain when a martial artist broke through to the Sea Formation realm but also helped maximize the expansion of the primal energy sea!

Such an effect would drive any martial artist at the ninth level of Crystal Condensation wild!

This was a pill that could enhance a martial artist's potential!

Even if a martial artist's primal energy sea expanded only a little, they would benefit for life.

And for those top geniuses, this slight difference might determine who achieved greater heights!

Soon, the primal energy crystals shattered into powder, but this was not the end!

Those powdered crystals eventually turned into nothingness.

Ye Yuan's dantian was now empty, like a black hole!

"I wonder how big Big Brother's primal energy sea will be!" Bai Guang was also extremely expectant.

Beside him, Yuan Fei's expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice, "Here it comes!"

Before his words faded, the primal energy in the cultivation room was instantly drained!

"Hiss..." Yuan Fei and Bai Guang exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

This was the cultivation room usually used by the elders of the Nethercloud Sect, with a concentration twenty times that of the outside!

Such dense heaven and earth primal energy was drained in an instant?

Fortunately, Ye Yuan had improved the spirit gathering array of this cultivation room before going into seclusion, so a large amount of primal energy quickly replenished it.

But as soon as this primal energy entered, it was immediately absorbed by Ye Yuan!

Such an absorption rate left Yuan Fei and Bai Guang utterly astonished.

They were both demonic beasts with inherited memories and were very familiar with the cultivation of human martial artists at the Sea Formation realm.

Ordinary martial artists breaking through to the Crystal Condensation realm could never achieve such a devouring speed.

A fast devouring speed meant that Ye Yuan's primal energy sea required a vast amount of primal energy.

This primal energy was merely a drop in the bucket for Ye Yuan!

This primal energy entered his body through his limbs and bones, instantly absorbed by the black hole within him!

Soon, in Ye Yuan's black hole-like dantian, a pool of liquid primal energy appeared, suspended in the center of the black hole.

This was the yet-unformed primal energy sea!

...

"Hmm? What's happening? The primal energy here seems to be getting drained!"

"Could someone be breaking through? But there have been too many breakthroughs these days, and none have caused such a commotion!"

"By the way, isn't Junior Brother Ye in seclusion? Could it be him breaking through?"

"That's possible! But is he breaking through to the Sea Formation realm? Otherwise, why such a big stir?"

"Junior Brother Ye is in seclusion in the elder's cultivation room, where the primal energy concentration is twenty times that of the outside. Isn't that enough for him?"

"...Do you think it's reliable to judge Junior Brother Ye by common sense?"

"..."

The primal energy around Ye Yuan's cultivation room was quickly drained by the spirit gathering array and began to extend outward, alarming other disciples of the Nethercloud Sect.

However, no one expected this situation to last for three whole days!

Ye Yuan's primal energy sea was like a bottomless pit, seemingly impossible to fill!

"Old Ape, could Big Brother be in trouble? This... he's been absorbing for three days now. How big is his primal energy sea, exactly?" Bai Guang was somewhat distraught.

Yuan Fei was also full of shock. Over these three days, he and Bai Guang had watched Ye Yuan absorb primal energy, and the cultivation room had never been fully replenished.

How large must the primal energy sea be to absorb to such an extent!

"I don't know... But I estimate that Young Master's primal energy sea is at least this big?" Yuan Fei gestured, roughly the size of a bathtub.

For a martial artist at the first level of Sea Formation, that was already enormous!

The vast majority of Sea Formation realm martial artists, when they first broke through, had a primal energy sea only the size of a fist.

Even for some genius martial artists, their primal energy sea was only the size of a bowl's mouth.

Zhao Chengqian of the Hurricane Realm, when he first broke through to the Sea Formation realm, had a primal energy sea only the size of a washbasin.

That was already a top-tier existence within a realm!

At this moment, Ye Yuan finally slowly opened his eyes.

When Yuan Fei saw Ye Yuan's eyes, he actually felt a sense of not daring to look directly!

Even though his realm was now similar to Ye Yuan's, he felt immense pressure!

"Ol... Old Boss, are you okay now?" Bai Guang asked, his mouth dry.

Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Never better!"

"Um... how big is your primal energy sea, exactly?" Bai Guang couldn't help but ask.
