Primordial Harem System

Another explosion resonated from Shen Yuan's body as the two cores moved even closer, powerful fluctuations resonating outward.

His surroundings trembled, and he took out the vial of Pure Essence Spirit Liquid before emptying it.

Wu Han took a deep breath, trying to suppress his shock.

"He's…only at the Extreme Origin Core Realm?

How could this be possible with such absurd strength?

"Even the usually calm Lin Tianchen couldn't suppress his shock, "His strength rivaled us even at a lower realm?

This… is truly unheard of.

"Sun Yi, Lei Ranyu, and the others from Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect exchanged disbelieving gazes, realization dawning upon them.

Sun Yi whispered softly, deeply impressed, "Junior Brother Shen is truly a monstrous genius among geniuses…"Lei Ranyu nodded, "I thought he had broken through during his recent seclusion.

I didn't expect him to be still at….

"Amid everyone's astonishment, Shen Yuan remained fully concentrated, ignoring their reactions as his breakthrough continued.

The two Origin Cores finally collided, swiftly merging into one larger, denser Dao Core.

His Dantian began to grow in size together with his breakthrough.

Boom!

A brilliant flash illuminated the sky as Shen Yuan's aura exploded, rapidly ascending, officially marking his successful breakthrough into the Dao Core Forming Realm.

[Ding!

][Congratulations, host, for successfully breaking through to the First Level of Dao Core Forming Realm!

][Congratulations!

You have ascended to the third step and received a Heaven Grade Treasure!

][Clear Spring Water (Low Heaven Grade)—High quality water for brewing tea.

]The newly formed Dao Core shone resplendently, a radiant orb brimming with astonishing power.

Shen Yuan instantly felt a massive leap in his power, foundation, and comprehension, reaching unprecedented heights.

The cultivators around him stared silently, speechlessly gazing at Shen Yuan, their minds still reeling from disbelief.

Lei Ranyu finally spoke, her voice quivering slightly, "Junior Brother Shen… you were only at Extreme Origin Core Realm this entire time?

"Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, filled with immense clarity.

Standing calmly, he chuckled at Lei Ranyu and nodded casually, "Yeah, was on the brink of breaking through for a while now.

"An awkward silence enveloped the area.

Lin Tianchen laughed softly, shaking his head with a helpless smile, "Brother Shen Yuan truly defies common sense.

Your combat prowess was already equal to ours, yet you were an entire realm lower?

Truly astonishing!

"Wu Han also sighed deeply, his earlier pride significantly humbled, "Brother Shen, your talent truly transcends ordinary comprehension.

I must acknowledge my inferiority.

"The Thunder Cloud Sect disciples stood to the side with visibly shaken expressions, their arrogance utterly crushed.

Realizing Shen Yuan had easily matched their peak Dao Core Forming strength at a lower realm filled them with despair.

Wan Ling smiled gently, admiration shining warmly in her eyes, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Brother Yuan.

"Sun Yi and the rest also warmly congratulated him, deeply proud and satisfied with their junior brother's heaven-defying talent.

Shen Yuan calmly cupped his fists, smiling lightly, "Thank you all.

I merely seized the opportunity Senior Yi Tianyun gave us.

"His humble words only further impressed everyone, gaining their sincere respect.

Lin Tianchen exhaled calmly, regaining his composure, "Brother Shen, with your breakthrough and strength, ascending this Stairway might truly be effortless for you.

"Shen Yuan shook his head slightly, gazing towards the top, "This Stairway was made with the standards of peak disciples of ancient times.

And the World Raiser Sect was one of the top sects of our world.

We shouldn't be arrogant here.

"The rest of the disciples praised his humility and agreed with him.

[You really think you won't be able to reach the peak?

]'If I can't reach the peak, then no one in this world can reach the peak.

' Shen Yuan's words were the opposite of what he had just said.

[Looks like you also need to keep up appearances.

]'Of course, I can't ruin my image.

Not when the threat of demons is at our door.

'After briefly stabilizing his newly consolidated realm, Shen Yuan stood up and stretched his body.

'Renjian World eh.

The world of mortals.

Quite a fitting name,' he thought about the name that Yi Tianyun had said.

[I didn't know this world was named Renjian.

It's quite suitable, don't you think?

]'Indeed, but for now I need to focus on this.

' He said before taking the fourth step.

By now, all the other disciples had realized that Shen Yuan was a true monster through and through.

He was nearly equal to them before the breakthrough; now that his strength had greatly increased, they wouldn't be his opponent.

But their hearts still held hope looking at the stairs, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If they can ascend to the top, they might very well be able to surpass him.

In the time Shen Yuan took to break through, Lin Tianchen and the other top disciples had already reached the seventh step.

But their faces showed clear signs of struggle.

Wu Han roared before activating his Dao Armor, a strange runic armor formed all around his body, relieving the pressure from him.

"Haa…haa…these stairs are no joke.

Who can ascend to the top?

"Thunder Cloud Sect's remaining disciples also used their Dao Armors, crackling thunder roared around them before forming a dense thunder armor.

The leader of Thunder Cloud Sect disciples looked towards the top with a resolute gaze, he knew he couldn't back down now.

Otherwise, he would never be able to catch up with Shen Yuan.

Immortal Sword Pavilion disciples also unleashed their sword intent and formed Dao Armor, while Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect disciples had also formed Light affinity armor, making them look holy and sacred to others.

'Hoh?

Others have already taken out the big guns eh.

' Shen Yuan smiled and started walking towards the fourth step before confidently stepping on it.

Boom!

Immediately, the pressure he faced was significantly greater, but for Shen Yuan, who had just broken through, it posed little challenge.

He stabilized his Dao Core effortlessly, circulating his Primordial Vessel Cultivation Art.

"Hmm?

This energy is indeed special.

"He absorbed the abundant, pure Qi streaming from the step, before transferring it into the Dantian since his foundation had already reached a level beyond what these Stairs could refine it to.

Quickly, he guided this abundant Qi into his main dantian, condensing it to its limit to store more of it.

At the same moment, another swirling vortex materialized before him, releasing a new treasure:[Heavenly Jade Lotus Pill (Peak Heaven Grade)—A pill capable of greatly enhancing soul clarity, comprehension, and strengthening one's soul power.

]With a look of interest, Shen Yuan threw the pill into his mouth before quickly absorbing its medicinal properties.

He closed his eyes to feel the changes from the pill.

As quickly as he had eaten it, he felt a cool, refreshing feeling inside his mind; he felt his soul strengthening bit by bit, but all of a sudden, all the power of the pill vanished from his Sea of Consciousness.

He opened his eyes in confusion, 'Oi Lan'er, did you eat the medicinal properties of the pill?

'[Hah??

Who do you think I am?

Some beggar that I would do something like that?

]'Hmm, that makes sense.

So where did it go?

' He asked after nodding his head.

[You should worry about that later; go ascend the stairs first.

]
