Shi Qingfeng was horrified and instantly activated his Magical Treasure, the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Mirror.
Having seen the gruesome state of the corpses, all the Cultivators were on high alert. Though their flight was slow, they constantly maintained a full output of Magical Power to their Defensive Magical Treasures. How could one of them have their Golden Core ripped out in an instant?
Even though all the Cultivators present had reached the Late Stage Golden Core in their Cultivation, their breathing grew heavy.
For a moment, only the agonized screams of the gravely injured Cultivator could be heard. He had lost his Golden Core and crashed heavily to the ground.
A Golden Core is the culmination of a Cultivator's Three Treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spiritual. To have it instantly ripped out meant that even if the Cultivator didn't die immediately, they would lose all their Magical Power, becoming even weaker than a mortal.
