Chapter 1382: The Three Great Aristocratic Families

Cultivators who had their Dantians blasted away didn't just lose their ability to fight; many died on the spot. That's because their Dantians are somewhat similar to Magic Crystals: once they explode, they produce sharp and keen fragments that inflict fatal damage on the organs.

This was why those cultivators hit by the Yuanzi Gun exhibited such excruciating pain. The explosion of the Inner Core wasn't particularly painful, but the agony came from the fragments destroying the organs. Many couldn't withstand it and died instantly, and even those who did manage to survive wouldn't live much longer.

If one were to categorize according to the Kyushu cultivation schools, Yuanzi weapons would probably be considered lower third-rate Star-shattering, viewed as a faction everybody would want to punish. Witnessing this scene, Cheng Ziang and the others could finally understand the fear and resentment of the Kyushu cultivators towards Star-shattering.
