Dashing Student-Chapter 1101: Advancement to Golden Core

Nie Xiaoyu’s words left Chen Nan stunned in place.

The person he trusted the most had actually betrayed him?

Master Xuanming, high above, holding Nie Xiaoyu in one arm, pointed at Chen Nan with the other and laughed, "Look, you really are like a dog."

This scene deeply pierced Chen Nan’s eyes, causing his heart to ache as if twisted by a knife. Intense emotions surged into his mind instantly, gradually reddening his eyes, while endless black energy gushed from his body.

His black hair danced wildly, looking like a demon!

"Ah!"

Chen Nan let out a painful howl; the betrayal of Nie Xiaoyu and the guilt of murder made him begin to doubt himself, with massive black energy surging out of him.

A violent, angry emotion spread within his heart, making him want to utterly crush everything in front of him.

The voice in his mind sounded again, but this time it was replaced with Chen Nan’s own voice, as if he was talking to himself.

"See, you can’t trust anyone in this world. They’ll only bring you pain and betrayal, you’re just a pathetic creature."

"End it, what in this world is worth your attachment? All you can see is filth, dirty!"

"All your efforts are nothing but a joke!"

Chen Nan seemed to be possessed, with that voice enticing him from the ground up, completely negating himself.

He raised his palm, brewing black energy, with only one thought in his mind.

End it!

Sink!

He then raised his hand and struck it down hard towards his forehead!

"No, that’s not right, it’s not like this..."

Eventually, the strike didn’t fall, stopping just an inch away from his head.

The chaos in his mind tore open a sliver, making Chen Nan’s eyes become much clearer.

He turned to look at the steps behind him, where countless corpses now raised their blood-stained heads, accusing him.

The voice in his mind continued to shout madly, "Do it fast, are you willing to endure all this? They can only bring you pain!"

Seeing Chen Nan unmoved, a black shadow suddenly drilled out from Chen Nan’s body, then transformed into another Chen Nan.

Only his expression was dark, with ferocious eyes glaring at Chen Nan.

"Useless coward, why don’t you hurry up and die?"

"Someone like you will forever be trampled upon!"

But Chen Nan seemed not to hear, directly sat cross-legged, started thinking, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded away.

After an unknown time, he stood up, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the ferociously sinister "Chen Nan."

"Indeed, I did kill them, and I am willing to bear all consequences; no matter who comes for revenge, I can accept it."

"But I will not change; in the same circumstances, I would still kill them."

"What I want and do, I am not afraid, even with karma, I will shoulder it!"

At this moment, Chen Nan’s Dao Heart was incredibly firm, seemingly emitting light from his body, with no more black energy gushing out.

On the contrary, the other "Chen Nan," his body rapidly shrank at this moment, eventually leaving only half the size of Chen Nan.

Then Chen Nan looked at Master Xuanming and Nie Xiaoyu, his smile grew broader.

"Perhaps anyone might betray me, but this is not my fault."

"And I firmly believe, Nie Xiaoyu would not betray; she is forever mine."

Master Xuanming and Nie Xiaoyu then became like puppets, suddenly losing all expressions and then their bodies began to dissipate, eventually disappearing completely.

As the "Chen Nan" formed from black energy continued to shrink, he stared at Chen Nan with resentful eyes.

"I will return again!"

Until completely vanished, Chen Nan then sighed with relief.

"The Heart Demon is indeed terrible; if I truly felt guilty, even just a bit, I definitely wouldn’t have passed the Heart Demon Tribulation today."

Since wanting to break through to the Golden Core Stage, how could Chen Nan not inquire about the possible challenges?

It was just unexpected that the Heart Demon Tribulation was so laughable, even arranged for Nie Xiaoyu to betray him.

Their relationship destined that they could never betray each other.

Everything in front began to collapse and dissipate.

...

In the secret chamber, Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes, and at the same moment, the vast spiritual energy gathered around him suddenly poured into his body, flowing like a river rushing.

Rumble!

Even with arrays blocking, the enormous commotion was also transmitted outside the secret chamber.

The gathered dark clouds in the sky instantly dissipated without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

"Succeeded!"

Elder Bai chuckled, cupping his hands to Lady Shang, "I really must congratulate the young master; stepping into the Golden Core, the immortal path prospers!"

Lady Shang heard his words, and her heart felt joyful as she quickly ran towards the secret chamber.

In the secret chamber, it finally became quiet after a long time, a perfectly round Golden Core had already appeared within Chen Nan’s body, absorbing all the surrounding spirit stones.

At this moment, he truly stepped into the Golden Core First Layer!

Chen Nan attempted to circulate the Golden Core, finding he could vaguely perceive the mighty power existing between Heaven and Earth, even able to barely mobilize and utilize it.

This is the difference between the Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage.

Foundation Establishment can only use one’s power, while the Golden Core Stage can already communicate with Heaven and Earth, borrowing the Heaven and Earth Power.

And the Nascent Soul Stage is able to control the Heaven and Earth Power!

Of course, Heaven and Earth Power splits into countless attributes, the Three Thousand Great Daos, common Golden Core Stage cultivators can only borrow one or two, or three kinds among them.

While Chen Nan cultivated the Myriad Phenomena Golden Core, aiming to merge all attributes, mastering all Daos!

This is destined to be a long and large path.

Chen Nan stood up slowly, moved his arms and legs, and could clearly feel now he is several times stronger than before.

Just at this moment, the secret chamber was suddenly opened, and Lady Shang directly threw herself into Chen Nan’s embrace.

"Chen Nan, have you stepped into the Golden Core Stage?"

"Yes, fortunately succeeded." Chen Nan replied with a smile.

Upon his personal confirmation, Lady Shang was overwhelmed with joy; the stronger her man becomes, the happier she is of course.

So she directly pushed Chen Nan down, whispered in his ear, "I want to see how strong the Golden Core Stage is..."

"Then you’d better not beg for mercy."

Chen Nan sneered mischievously, immediately gearing up for battle.

Finally, the battle ended amidst Lady Shang’s cries for mercy.

Lying on the fur together, they could each hear each other’s heartbeat.

"Chen Nan, I want to host a Golden Core Ceremony for you, to celebrate properly, can I?"

Chen Nan played with her delicate hand, sighed, "No, it’s too flamboyant, it would bring you trouble."

"And during this time, I trust the Yama Hall has already discovered I’m here with you."

"Indeed, many people have recently come to the store, all probing for information openly and secretly." Lady Shang’s expression became serious.

Then she gently stroked Chen Nan’s face, somewhat sorrowful.

"Is it truly time to leave this time?"
