as he identified a crimson crystal ball nestled within the golem's chest, about the size of a human fist.
With no time to waste, Yuan gripped his sword tightly with both hands, pointed it skyward, and executed his sword technique.

James struggled to fathom how effortlessly Yuan had dismantled Lord Harrison's Tier 5 Magic Spell, killing two soldiers and severely injuring two more in a single strike. Was his brother-in-law truly this overpowering?
"See? He's perfectly unharmed, not even a scratch," Anna assured Rose.
"You're absolutely right, Mother-in-law. Yuan's power and cultivation are truly remarkable," Rose replied, her excitement evident as her gaze remained fixed on Yuan.
'This is what cultivator power is like... I can't wait to have it too,' Rose's inner musings hinted at her eagerness to embark on her own cultivation journey.
Dissipating a potent Tier 5 Magic Spell with such ease was a feat that eluded most mages or knights. The spell's force would be significantly boosted when cast by a peak fifth-circle mage, making it nearly insurmountable even for a peak master-level mage.
Yuan's effortless dismantling of the spell ignited Rose's yearning to begin her cultivation journey promptly.
'I'm even more eager to become a cultivator now. This power is on a different level compared to magic,' Rose mused inwardly.
Yuan leveled a mocking gaze at Lord Harrison. "Is that truly the extent of your ability, Fatty? I must admit, I'm underwhelmed. This kind of attack holds no weight against me."
"Fatty?" Lord Harrison faltered, shocked by the audacity of the epithet. No one had dared to address him so derogatorily before. Had this impudent vermin really just called him "fatty"?
His body trembled in fury, his face reddening as anger surged within him, threatening to overflow.
He stared at Yuan with a lethal glint and roared, "ARROGANT FOOL! To publicly humiliate me with such insolence! Don't think surviving one attack by sheer chance makes you invincible. I'll wipe that smug grin off your face."
"Prove to me that you're not just bluster. Though, I'm fairly convinced it will be to no avail," Yuan retorted casually, oozing confidence that Lord Harrison's efforts would fall flat against him.
"Prepare yourself for death... Earth Creation Magic: Summon Earth Golem..." Lord Harrison once again wielded his magic wand, chanting the incantation.
The earth beneath everyone convulsed, and massive chunks of soil detached and converged to sculpt a colossal humanoid figure. The creation resembled something out of fantasy—a towering Earth Golem.
"Roarrrrrrrr..." The golem roared upon materializing, the sound so thunderous it reverberated through the air, prompting everyone to cover their ears.
'Enormous...' Yuan thought. The golem's imposing figure stood around three meters tall, with massive limbs.
"Behold our Lord's might, hahaha!"
"Who can defy us now? The Monore family's end is nigh, hahaha!"
Witnessing Lord Harrison's summoning of the colossal golem, the Turner soldiers erupted in cheers, celebrating the anticipated triumph.
Meanwhile, onlookers remained stunned and awed by the gargantuan creation, a manifestation of Lord Harrison's rumored Tier 6 spell, Earth Creation Magic: Earth Golem. This was their first firsthand encounter with the legendary power.
"What on earth is that? It's colossal!"
"Dear heavens, could that be Lord Turner's fabled Tier 6 spell, Earth Creation Magic: Earth Golem? The potency is astounding!"
"As expected of a Tier 6 spell, its sheer might is mind-boggling. And that golem... it's absolutely terrifying!"
"Will that handsome young man be alright? The golem looks overwhelmingly powerful."
"But one thing is certain: if the young man dies here, our lives will become living hell."
"The Turner family is truly shameless and unreasonable. I've never encountered such audacity before."
As the onlookers exchanged hushed opinions, the Monore family's expressions soured significantly.
"Is this the might of a Tier 6 spell? It's overwhelmingly potent. Will Yuan be safe against such a formidable opponent?" Madam Layla expressed her concerns for her son-in-law's safety, aware of the devastating power of the Earth Golem.
She had witnessed it in action before, when the village wasn't plagued by constant bandit attacks. Lord Harrison had summoned the golem to effortlessly vanquish a group of powerful bandits.
"Please be okay, Yuan. You haven't fully embraced us yet. You can't leave us like this," both Ava and Julie muttered, their faces tense with worry for Yuan's well-being.
'God, please help my brother-in-law defeat this shameless man. I don't want to die without experiencing love, marriage, and having a family. I need a miracle,' James fervently prayed inwardly.
He hadn't even had a romantic encounter yet; it would be absurd to die without experiencing such moments. Dying in this manner would undoubtedly make him a village laughingstock.
After witnessing the emergence of the Earth Golem, Rose turned to her mother-in-law, Anna, voicing her apprehensions. "Mother-in-law Anna, do you think Yuan will be alright facing such a formidable foe? I have a terrible feeling about this."
"He'll come out unscathed. I trust him, and you should too," Anna responded with a gentle smile, her eyes shifting toward Yuan.
Yet, Anna's inner anxiety belied her calm exterior. A sense of unease lingered within her; the Earth Golem appeared to hold secrets beyond its immediate appearance.
[Host, the Earth Golem is formidable and capable of harming you. Be cautious in your approach.] Nora's warning conveyed the potential danger posed to Yuan's life.
'So this creature is potent and has the potential to harm me. My assumption that mages are weaker might have been hasty. I must exercise caution in dealing with it,' Yuan contemplated, his gaze focused on the Earth Golem.
Lord Harrison's delighted grin was triggered by the complex emotions displayed on Yuan's face.
"Hahaha! Speechless, are we? This is power! Prepare to meet your end, you insignificant vermin! Obliterate him!" Lord Harrison's laughter resounded as he commanded the Earth Golem to attack Yuan.
"Roarrrrr!" Following Lord Harrison's command, the Earth Golem lunged forward, thrusting its colossal fist toward Yuan with astonishing force.
"This is problematic..." Yuan mumbled, observing the oncoming fist. Swiftly sidestepping, he managed to evade the attack with relative ease.
"It's massive and potent, but its movements are sluggish compared to the automatons in the underground treasury. With my speed, I can elude its attacks," Yuan analyzed, scrutinizing the Earth Golem closely.
"What?! He evaded it? No matter, attack again!" Lord Harrison's surprise at Yuan's evasion was short-lived as he quickly ordered the golem to strike once more.
In response to Lord Harrison's command, the Earth Golem's other arm swung towards Yuan with heightened velocity and power.
"One Sword One Strike!" Yuan enacted his sword technique. A sweeping sword arc materialized, obliterating the golem's oncoming attack and completely severing its arm.
Gasps echoed from the crowd as they bore witness to Yuan's effortless destruction of the golem's arm. Just how potent was this young man?
Yet, before the stunned audience, the golem's severed arm commenced an astounding regeneration. Within minutes, the arm fully regrew, as if it had never been severed in the first place.
"What the heck! It can regenerate? This is insane!" Yuan's surprise was evident as he witnessed the golem regrowing its severed arm.
"Hahaha! Giving up already? My golem is unbeatable. As long as I provide mana, it'll keep regenerating, rendering your attacks useless. Surrender now," Lord Harrison laughed triumphantly, relishing Yuan's astonished expression.
Upon hearing Lord Harrison's words, the onlookers' expressions shifted from shock to disbelief. Fighting a foe that constantly regenerates seemed futile.
"The power is simply absurd. No wonder it's a Tier 6 spell."
"The Monore family is truly in trouble. They can't contend with such an opponent."
"Sigh! Such a handsome young man, destined to fall. What a waste."
Meanwhile, Anna, Grace, Lily, Emma, and Rose exchanged worried glances, perturbed by the golem's regenerative abilities. They feared for Yuan's well-being against an adversary capable of healing itself.
"Mom, do you think Yuan can defeat the golem without resorting to his destructive techniques?" Lily voiced her concern for her little brother's safety.
"I'm not sure, but I trust he'll find a way," Anna's voice carried a note of anxiety. She couldn't bear the thought of witnessing her son being harmed.
"Don't fret. Hubby will be fine, and if he needs help, I'm here. I'll reduce that ugly thing to ashes," Xi Meili chimed in reassuringly.
"If Meili says so, then we can rest assured," Anna agreed after a moment. She recognized Xi Meili's immense power and the devastating flames she commanded.
Meanwhile, Yuan scrutinized the golem, seeking its weakness. He aimed to exploit that weakness with a single, calculated sword strike, avoiding the use of his divine-rank techniques, which risked destroying the village.
'Every being has a vulnerability, a core. I won't believe this golem is an exception. I just need to find that core,' Yuan deduced, deep in thought.
"Hahaha! Lost your spirit? Considering surrender?" Lord Harrison taunted, noticing Yuan's contemplative silence.
'Yes, the core. There must be a core within its massive body. To defeat this golem, I need to destroy that core. But where is it hidden? Like finding a needle in a haystack,' Yuan mused, mentally grappling with the challenge.
"Roarrr..." Suddenly, the golem launched an unexpected assault.
"Yuan!" Anna's shout pierced the air as she saw the golem charging at her son.
Yuan, alerted by his mother's cry, sensed the incoming attack and evaded with swift reflexes, narrowly dodging the golem's strike.
'He avoided it again...' Lord Harrison's disappointment was palpable.
'His reflexes are astonishing. How can he move so quickly?' Butler Geoffrey marveled at Yuan's agility.
"That was close... Thank goodness I reacted in time," Yuan muttered in relief.
Observing Yuan's narrow escape, Anna muttered, "Thank heavens he avoided that attack."
Prompted by the urgency of the situation, Yuan activated his divine sense, hoping it could locate the golem's core amidst its massive form.
'That's it... The golem's core...' Yuan's realization struck him as he identified a crimson crystal ball nestled within the golem's chest, about the size of a human fist.
With no time to waste, Yuan gripped his sword tightly with both hands, pointed it skyward, and executed his sword technique.
A colossal blue sword arc materialized, hurtling towards the golem with astonishing speed. The arc sliced through the golem, bisecting it and obliterating the core in the process.
As quickly as it appeared, the sword arc dissipated into thin air.
