Bing Wuqing had only unleashed the Merciless Ice Force, and Xue Jianfeng's entire body was covered in a thin layer of ice. He did not even manage to fully unleash the Sword Descends Nine Heavens, and just like that, he fell stiffly from midair, like a lifelike ice sculpture.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
After a moment, Xue Liping suddenly reacted with a shout and rushed up to help the ice sculpture up. He asked in a terrified tone, "Feng 'er, are you alright?!"
"This … this …" Hong Qingyuan opened his mouth, but could not utter a proper sentence. Judging from Xue Jianfeng's power just now, he could tell that even if Xue Jianfeng's power was not as steady and experienced as his, he was definitely not weak among those in the Golden Core Great Completion. Yet, such a powerful existence was actually taken care of by Bing Wuqing so easily, without even batting an eye. Was she still human?!
It didn't make sense. Bing Wuqing was just a Golden Core Perfected cultivator after all. How could there be such a huge gap between the same level?
After a long while, the thin layer of ice on the surface of Xue Jianfeng finally broke. His face was pale, and he hunched his body in an extremely sorry state. Panting heavily, he stammered, "Most … Powerful … Golden … Core … Stage …"
As soon as he said that, the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone, including Hong Qingyuan, looked at Bing Wuqing with even more respect. Could she really be the legendary Most Powerful Golden Core expert?
It wasn't impossible. Although neither Bing Wuqing nor Xue Jianfeng mentioned anything about the Divine Knowledge Grass, with their strength, it would be easy for them to participate in the Primeval Trial. It wasn't impossible for them to find the legendary Divine Knowledge Grass. And the overwhelming strength that Bing Wuqing displayed just now could only be explained by the fact that she was the strongest Golden Core expert.
In the face of the subconscious reverence from the crowd, Bing Wuqing didn't care. She curled her lips slightly and said, "Who told me that she was the strongest Golden Core expert?"
"Wasn't she?" Xue Jianfeng, who had finally managed to catch his breath, was stunned when he heard that. He assumed that since the other party had come out of seclusion, she must have used the other half of the Divine Knowledge Grass, which meant that she was naturally the strongest Golden Core expert. Was there anything wrong with that?
Bing Wuqing smiled, which was rare, but it was a mocking sneer. "Why don't you feel it again?"
"Feel what?" Before Xue Jianfeng could react, Bing Wuqing raised her hand slightly and unleashed her Merciless Ice Force once again. A thin layer of ice instantly covered him again.
However, with the previous example, Xue Jianfeng's reaction was extremely fast this time. He immediately unleashed his strongest protective layer of Qi without any regard for the price. Even though he would inevitably be in a somewhat sorry state, he wouldn't be turned into a human-shaped ice sculpture without any resistance. After all, he was an expert in the Peak of the Gold Core Realm. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
"Only so-so …" Xue Jianfeng pretended to be calm and wanted to mock him. However, before he could finish his words, his entire body suddenly trembled. His knees went soft, and he knelt down on the spot.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. No one would have thought that this guy would actually kneel in public. What the hell was he doing?
Of course, Xue Jianfeng didn't kneel willingly. At this moment, his expression was incomparably sinister and conflicted, because what was trapping him wasn't just the thin layer of ice on the surface. It was the insides of his two legs that had been frozen. He had no choice but to kneel!
That wasn't what shocked him the most. What really shocked him was that the Merciless Ice Force that he sensed earlier was not the power of an expert in the Golden Core Realm. It was clearly a level higher, an existence that was completely above the Golden Core Realm. It was a Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster!
"Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster? How could you be a Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster! " Xue Jianfeng was practically going crazy. He couldn't react the first time because the other party hadn't used her full strength. But now, Bing Wuqing had used her full strength. His two legs were frozen to this extent and were almost crippled. If he still couldn't react in time, he would be too slow.
"What? Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster? " Everyone present, including Hong Qingyuan, was collectively shocked. Each of them looked at Bing Wuqing in disbelief. Just now, the range of the Merciless Ice Force was controlled to be extremely small. Therefore, although they were very close to it, they didn't feel its power at all. They just assumed that it was the strongest Golden Core Realm. Who would have thought that it was actually a Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster!
But, how was this possible?
The birth of any expert in the Nascent Soul Realm. That was a huge matter that would affect the entire structure of the small Immemorial Underworld. And in the entire small Immemorial Underworld, although there weren't as many experts in the Golden Core Realm as there were dogs everywhere, the overall number was not small. Basically, any sect or clan of a high level would have a few or even a dozen of them. Snow Sword Faction was considered very rare. If it were the top four sects and clans, they wouldn't even be able to count them with one hand.
There were no less than three digits of experts in the Golden Core Realm, and every single one of them had been scheming to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. But how many of them had succeeded in the end?
The reality was that in the last twenty years, the number of experts in the small Immemorial Underworld who had recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm was zero. Not a single one!
Condensing the Nascent Soul sounded like a simple task, but the difficulty involved was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Just the Nascent Condensation Golden Core, which could only be obtained by luck, was enough to make everyone flinch. Even if they were lucky enough to obtain it, the entire breakthrough process would take at least a few years. How could it be so fast?
Half a month ago, she was still in the Golden Core Realm, but now, she had become a Nascent Soul Realm old monster the moment she came out. What kind of heavenly book was this?!
But then again, if it had been someone else, they would not have believed it. But when it came to Bing Wuqing, Hong Qingyuan and the others really could not be sure.
It was not just Bing Wuqing, but also Xue Jianfeng and Leng Leng. They could not see through these people.
It had only been slightly more than a year since she started her training in the secular world, yet Leng Leng had soared from the early stage of Foundation Building all the way to the Foundation Building Perfected. This was unprecedented in the history of the small Immemorial Underworld. But compared to the other two, it was still acceptable. Someone had provided her with elixirs, and she was naturally talented, so this could be explained.
But Bing Wuqing had directly soared from the early stage of Golden Core Realm to the Golden Core Realm Perfected. How could this be explained? One had to know that the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Building Realm were two completely different concepts. Even if it was possible to achieve this by swallowing elixirs, where could so many Golden Cores and Golden Cores come from? Not even the entire small Immemorial Underworld had so many, right?
That was not all. What made everyone even more speechless was Xue Jianfeng. This fellow had directly gone from the Foundation Building Perfected to the Golden Core Realm Perfected. This was practically a breakthrough!
