Chapter 360: Chapter 226: The Snipe and the Clam_2
“I must force out your Golden Core strength. The moment you reveal even a hint of it, you’ll be dead!” Jue Tu Buddha’s red eyes stared at Elder Lv, he shouted.
“I don’t want to be your enemy. I am only looking for the cultivator within the formation. We don’t need to fight to the death!” Elder Lv also had a headache. He had lost a treasure, which, even if recovered, needed to be consecrated anew. He really didn’t want to fight anymore.
The consecration of a treasure is not an easy task; it requires a great deal of time, and its power also increases with the length of consecration.
It could be said that the loss of the flying sword treasure alone made his operation a major loss.
“My life for yours, it’s worth it!” Jue Tu Buddha responded off-topic.
The killing intent on his body suddenly receded, and black blood flowed from his eyes and nose alike.
...
Although the killing intent had receded, the aura emanating from his body continued to swell, seemingly about to break through the Golden Core barrier, yet always one step shy of actually reaching it.
Of course, Jue Tu Buddha couldn’t forcibly elevate himself to the Golden Core Stage with a secret technique alone, but this time, the secret technique brought him closer to Golden Core strength.
A secret technique requires the consumption of life force; this was truly a life-threatening gamble.
He felt with a Golden Core cultivator like Elder Lv on the battlefield, he would be unable to fulfill the command from Qianye Temple. Thus, he decided to exchange his life for the life of a Golden Core cultivator, which he deemed an extremely fair trade.
