Chapter 427: Chapter 240: The Gap Between the Golden Core Realm_2
Translator: 549690339
“My limit is not just a hundred runes, which means it will take even longer to condense and refine Rune Seeds,” Lu Yun pondered.
At present, he only knew that as long as the Golden Body Episode of the Pure
Yang Martial Arts Canon was raised to the perfection limit, the number of runes could reach one hundred.
However, after achieving Perfection, he didn’t know how many more runes could be added at the Reach Profound Realm and the Perceive Truth Realm that might follow.
Thus, Lu Yun could not be sure of his own limits, nor could he know how long it would take to promote condensing Rune Seeds and trigger Thunder
Tribulation specifically.
Dismissing those thoughts, he focused on opening the panel.

The energy value on the panel had not only not decreased, but had increased by several hundred thousand.
Lu Yun’s explosive increase in energy value, of course, came from refining all the pills he had previously scavenged.

As the Cultivation Technique was being upgraded, a golden diamond-shaped rune gradually formed above his Yuan Hai.
The formation of diamond-shaped runes was not a one-time process, but a continuous one.
Lu Yun had also figured out a way to use the panel to greatly reduce the duration of this process.
By relying on his own hard work and not adding points through the panel, he first sensed the existence of laws, carefully attracted them into the Golden Body, and then manipulated the Pure Yang Strong Origin to serve as a carrier for bearing the law, thus forming a Law Rune.
With Lu Yun’s Level-9 Innate Talent, it would take two days and two nights to complete this process.
By adding points through the panel, however, it greatly shortened the process.
An hour later, a brand new diamond-shaped rune was formed.
Another two hours went by, and a second rune formed.
Two runes were the limit for the day.
Still, Lu Yun didn’t stop cultivating. He controlled these two runes to increase his mastery over them.
Rune control was different compared to the Pure Yang Strong Origin; each rune was an individual entity and differed from each other, so it took some time to adapt to them.
As Lu Yun concentrated on controlling the two new runes, the battleship approached rapidly towards the mountain range where the Sky Brilliance Sect was located.
“Senior Brother, I heard in the dining hall this morning that one of our sect’s Supreme Elders and a few Golden Body Realm Elders went to intercept a Demon Suppression Army. They haven’t returned after two days. Do you think something bad might have happened?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. If the enforcers hear you, they’ll surely charge you with the crime of disturbing the public’s mind.
Outside the Sky Brilliance Sect, two patrolling disciples whispered to each other as they glanced around and relaxed only after confirming that there was no one else nearby.
Boom!
At that moment, they heard a sky-breaking noise approaching and, looking up, they saw an enormous object covering the sky in the distance.
-What kind of sea beast is that? How could it be so huge?” A puzzled expression appeared on one patrolling disciple’s face as his mouth gaped.
The other patrolling disciple looked up as well and his face immediately changed upon seeing the gigantic battleship.
“That’s definitely not a sea beast. It’s probably a battleship from the Demon Suppression Army. Hurry and signal the sect!
Upon speaking, he quickly took out a jade slip, infused it with True Qi, and activated a green sword radiance, which shot into the sky, illuminating the entire horizon.
This jade slip was essential for every patrolling disciple. If a sea beast or an enemy invaded, they had to release the reserved sword radiance right away.
As soon as the soaring sword radiance was detected, the mountain protection array of the Sky Brilliance Sect was activated immediately.
As a sect with thousands of years of heritage and established here for eight hundred years, the Sky Brilliance Sect’s sect protection array was extremely powerful. The moment it was activated, the sky was filled with azure light, intersecting across the sky.
Then, on the nine peaks of the Sky Brilliance Sect, rainbow lights appeared one after another.
These were all powerful people of the Sky Brilliance Sect, who had long learned of the Demon Suppression Army’s intrusion into the Profound Darkness Domain and the news of the Supreme Elder’s failed attempt to intercept them. Therefore, they were all on standby, ready to face the approaching crisis.
At the moment the mountain protection array was activated, all members of the Sky Brilliance Sect, from the Sect Master and Supreme Elder to the newly joined disciples, emerged from seclusion right away.
“All who offend the Sky Brilliance Sect shall be killed without mercy.” The Sect Master of the Sky Brilliance Sect stood in the air, surrounded by intertwining sword Qi, his voice shaking in all directions.
Supreme Elder Guan Daozhou stood solemnly, his feet stepping on a green gourd.
The other strong individuals of the Sky Brilliance Sect were all on high alert as well.
The Morigin Demon Suppression Army was quite well-known among the Hundred Sects. Only the very top sects such as the Red Moon Demon Sect, the Nine Nether Demon Sect, the Heavenly Mystery Sword Sect, and the Green Cloud Sect could barely compete with them.
Now, to counter just a small part of the Demon Suppression Army’s power, the Sky Brilliance Sect had to rely on all of its resources and still did not have much confidence in their ability to survive.
There was no choice; the formidable and notorious strength of the Demon Suppression Army had deeply penetrated the hearts of the Hundred Sects.
There was no sect that could survive wherever the Demon Suppression Army went, not even given the option to surrender.
This meant that there was only one path left for the Sky Brilliance Sect: to fight to the death.
In the distance, seeing the area covered in azure light, Lu Yun had a thought.
It was within his expectations that the Sky Brilliance Sect had a mountain protection array.
After all, they could build an ambush at an extremely short time, using unfamiliar terrain to their advantage.
From this alone, it could be guessed that the Sky Brilliance Sect must have a mountain protection array.
However, for the Demon Suppression Army, this protection array did not have much impact.
“General, the Array Breaking Awl is ready.”
Ye Xuan held a black box in both hands, opened it, and released a black awl the size of a fist.
Lu Yun nodded slightly, holding the black awl with one hand.
This was the Array Breaking Awl, similar in rank to the No. 18 Battleship and classified as Superior Treasures.
Playing with the Array Breaking Awl in his hand, Lu Yun’s gaze fell on the intricate patterns on it, brewing a terrifying power.
Last time, when he followed Wei Zongcheng and the Black Mountain Sect, he saw with his own eyes the use of an Array Breaking Awl, easily breaking the Black Mountain Sect’s mountain protection array.
Now, as the leading general attacking the Sky Brilliance Sect, he finally had the chance to use it.
“It is said that with the full power of the Array Breaking Awl, it can unleash an attack comparable to a full-strength strike by a Golden Core Realm expert. Today, I want to experience for myself just how powerful a Golden Core Realm expert’s full-strength strike can be.”
Lu Yun thought to himself.
Previously, although he had seen Golden Core Realm experts in action from afar, he had only felt the terrifying power of each of their moves but didn’t know exactly how powerful they were.
Now, by utilizing the Array Breaking Awl’s power, the opportunity had come. Thinking of this, he felt a slight excitement in his heart.
-I want to see just how great the gap between the Golden Core Realm and me truly is.”
As soon as his words fell, he took a step off the battleship and came to the sky above the Sky Brilliance Sect. With his right hand outstretched, the Array Breaking Awl appeared in his palm.
To use the Array Breaking Awl, one had to mobilize True Origin and Law Rune.
If one’s strength was insufficient, the Array Breaking Awl would not achieve its full potential.
This posed little challenge for Lu Yun.
The immense Yuan Hai was activated, pouring all its power into the Array Breaking Awl.
Immediately afterwards, the black Array Breaking Awl detached from his hand, emanating a deep black light and continuously expanding in size.
Boom!
As the Array Breaking Awl constantly grew in size, with it at the center, a series of thunder and lightning sounds could be heard in the surrounding void, stirring up a terrifying spatial ripple whose area of influence kept growing wider.
“It hasn’t reached its limit yet!”
The endless Pure Yang Aura Origin poured into the Array Breaking Awl, causing it to grow even larger and unleash an increasingly terrifying force. The larger the Array Breaking Awl, the more terrifying the power of the final strike would be.
When the Array Breaking Awl reached nearly a hundred feet in size, the terrifying power contained within it made Lu Yun’s heart tremble.
But this was still not the limit of the Array Breaking Awl..
