Mafia Don And His 7 Sisters

Chapter 535

Chapter 535 Gold Core Shattered

“Hope you’re telling the truth.”

John said dejectedly, a long time after their conversation.

He found it hard to trust Americo, but deep down, he hoped that Americo was telling the truth.

John didn’t want to meet Americo in person because he knew that it could end up in one of them dying.

He stopped asking questions and realized that even if he did ask, Americo wouldn’t answer. If Americo wanted to tell him the answers, he would do so without being prompted.

Americo appeared calm as he spoke to John, “The answers to these questions are something you must seek out for yourself. It will require the strength you possess to find them.”

There was a part of the truth that was too cruel to be revealed to John. It would deal a great blow to his psyche, and possibly render him unable to recover.

John was still too weak, but as he grew stronger, he would naturally understand all the truths.

“I have left many things for you along the way that can help you increase your strength and find the truth sooner. When the time I set arrives, the Soul Refining Blood Bead will give you a prompt.”

With that, Americo’s apparition suddenly vanished as if it had never existed.

It was a memory that he had left behind, waiting for John’s arrival for over twenty years.

Now that the mission had been completed, the memory was no longer necessary.

John’s heart felt like it had been pricked by something.

He didn’t understand why Americo had put him through all that. He couldn’t comprehend why he couldn’t have a normal life with a happy family like a regular person.

To John, such an ordinary life was what he most longed for.

From birth, John had been a pawn in a game. The hand of fate had been manipulating everything. in his life. The key to reversing everything was the strength he possessed.

John murmured, “Strength…”

John felt depressed. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

He wanted to increase his strength quickly. He possessed the Nameless Divine Skill, a powerful

technique that could be enhanced by consuming numerous Gold Core Stage cultivators.

In John’s view, he just needed to increase his strength as quickly as possible, and consuming more cultivators wouldn’t be a problem.

However, his current dilemma wasn’t that he didn’t have enough Gold Core Stage cultivators to consume. It was that he didn’t know how to break through the barrier blocking his progress.

The consummation of Golden Crystal Realm was the limit of that world.

Even if John consumed many cultivators, he still couldn’t break through that limit.

“Forget it. Since Americo has thought so far ahead, he must have predicted all the difficulties I will face. For now, I can only stop thinking about the future.”

John had no choice but to comfort himself like that.

He was very strong-willed, and he was not someone who was easily defeated by difficulties. Although that day’s events had almost crushed his emotions, he quickly regained his composure.

John’s consciousness shook violently, and in an instant, everything changed. His consciousness was enveloped in red and blue light, which pierced through the surrounding fog and merged into his body.

John felt the pain of lightning coursing through his body, and he immediately realized that he had returned to the outside world.

Although John had been in the consciousness space for half an hour, only a few seconds had passed in the outside world. That was probably what Americo meant by the time flow in the two worlds being different.

To the people outside, it appeared that John had flown into the gray mist like a moth to a flame. Then, he was struck by lightning that was scattered around the mist, and was immediately thrown out.

John lay motionless on the ground, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

“That thunder is so terrifying, but it didn’t crush the madman’s body. It’s really a miracle!” someone exclaimed.

“From the moment he stepped into the Thunder Marsh’s fifth floor, we could tell he was not ordinary. It’s like he’s being protected by a god, able to dodge lightning strikes every time. Unfortunately, he insisted on finding death and went to the innermost.”

“It was truly a miracle, but no matter how great the miracle, it could not have saved his life…”

The speaker abruptly halted in the middle of his sentence, his eyes conveying disbelief and shock. His expression was overly dramatic.

Not only him, everyone standing around him had the same expression on their faces.

They believed it was a miracle that John’s body hadn’t been reduced to powder by the lightning strike. But he had suffered such a horrific shock that even his soul was likely shattered by the electricity.

John was surely unable to survive.

However, something completely incomprehensible happened that stunned everyone. As everyone watched, John slowly sat up on the ground after a short time had passed.

That scene left everyone perplexed.

“Was John, the lunatic, really tenacious enough to cling to life like this?”

Everyone was stunned, their minds completely blank.

After John got up from the ground, he felt the changes in his body.

The Mirage Ice Pearl, with its deep blue color, lay silently in his palm. The ice-cold sensation of the Mirage Ice Pearl reverberated along his arm, easing some of the discomfort caused by the lightning strike.

At the same time, John felt something new in his mind.

He could see a vast crimson ocean, and at its center floated a blood-red bead, the Soul Refining Blood Bead.

Suddenly, the mental world appeared in John’s mind, a thing he found unfamiliar. It seemed to be a message transmitted to him by the Soul Refining Blood Bead.

Previously, John only knew about Mind Energy, which was a protective measure used by monks, such as the Mind Circle created by a spiritual array master. Many spiritual array masters practiced that technique.

That Mind Energy technique was taught to John by his master, the old monk. It had limited capabilities and could not be used as an offensive measure.

However, what appeared in John’s mind at that moment was an existence of a higher level than

Mind Energy. It could not only be used to create a rune cage but also to attack, similar to the ghost power of the Ghost Tribe.

Those were gifts that Americo had given to John, and he was very excited about them.

However, when John felt the situation in his belly, his face immediately turned sullen.

He realized that his Gold Core had shattered.
