Looking up at the mountain before him, Darian Kaelthorn stopped and let out a sigh of emotion.After bidding farewell to Huo Hai, he arrived at the final destination of this journey—Refining Origin Peak!For the next month or so, Darian Kaelthorn planned to cultivate in Refining Origin Peak while using low-grade Primal Essence Crystals, making one final period of secluded cultivation. His goal was to raise his cultivation to the peak of the late Vital Soul Stage before the Ranking List Challenge Tournament began.By then, relying solely on his cultivation at the peak of the late Vital Soul Stage, his combat strength would already rival that of an ordinary cultivator at the late Might Soul Stage. Combined with the Second Polar Star Body of the Starlight Infinity Body and the Heaven Flood Dragon Transformation of the Three Transformations Dragon Ascension, both his speed and physical strength would increase dramatically.He would be able to completely overpower ordinary late Might Soul

"Anyone who wishes to participate in the Ranking List Challenge Tournament must first become a Ranking List Candidate!"Looking at the stone tower that slowly rose until it stood towering between heaven and earth, Darian Kaelthorn murmured to himself, his eyes burning with anticipation.He then returned to the stone house, retrieved his Sacred Path Jade Token, and immediately left the Eastern Peak.At the foot of the Eastern Peak, light flashed as Darian Kaelthorn stepped out.The moment he appeared, he immediately noticed countless figures rushing past before him. As far as the eye could see, there seemed to be no end to the sea of people.These countless figures were naturally all disciples of the Sacred Path of the Ancients.At this moment, every one of them wore the same expression upon their faces—Passion.Anticipation.Eagerness.And they all headed in the same direction—Toward the Candidate Tower that had just risen in the distance.Seeing this scene, Darian Kaelthorn smiled

The newcomer had a head of brilliant golden hair and a tall, imposing figure. He wore a magnificent golden martial robe, while every muscle on his body bulged with explosive power. He resembled a mighty lion, and the sharp light radiating from his eyes made him seem like a Vajra guardian of the Buddhist faith, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppressive strength.However, the expression on his face was every bit as arrogant as his voice.Even so, no one around him found it offensive.That was because the waves of astonished cries had already revealed his identity!"My heavens! It's Golden Lion, Rong Xiang!""Before the last Ranking List Challenge Tournament, Rong Xiang had always been one of the experts on the Ranking List!""That's right! If I remember correctly, he was originally ranked ninety-ninth!""What a pity. He was defeated in the last tournament and knocked off the Ranking List.""Even so, his strength is absolutely genuine. It looks like Rong Xiang has come fully prepared t

Seeing this, Darian Kaelthorn also came to a stop.He then watched as the Spirit of Speed gradually became more and more transparent before completely disappearing. In its place appeared a token about the size of a middle finger.The token was entirely gray and had an ancient, unadorned design.A trace of delight flashed through Darian Kaelthorn's eyes as he stepped forward and grabbed it."So this is a Candidate Token? I've finally obtained my first one!"As long as he collected nine Candidate Tokens, he would become a Ranking List Candidate. Now that he had obtained the first one so smoothly, Darian Kaelthorn naturally felt pleased.Whoosh!Just as he picked up the Candidate Token, another Spirit of Speed appeared not far away.This time, there were two of them.Seeing the two Spirits of Speed, Darian Kaelthorn took a deep breath, circulated his Mystic Power into his feet, and his figure once again became light and elusive."Come on!"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The two Spirits of Speed

“Not good!”The moment Darian Kaelthorn saw the five Spirits of Speed transform into what seemed like a giant net rushing toward him, his expression changed drastically!He suddenly realized that all the tiny flaws and gaps they had exposed while trying to catch him earlier had completely disappeared!No matter how agile or unpredictable the Dragon Carp Transformation was, without any openings or angles to slip through, it could never create a path out of thin air.The five Spirits of Speed now seemed to have become a single unified whole. Not a single flaw remained. The distance between them and their positioning were perfectly coordinated. No matter how nimble or versatile one's movement technique was, there was simply no way to evade them.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Darian Kaelthorn's figure flashed rapidly, twisting and weaving to the absolute limit. Yet he discovered that the space available for him to move was becoming smaller and smaller. If this continued, he would eventually bec
