The instant this strange scene appeared, both Darian Kaelthorn and Holy Lord Linglong outside the tower focused all of their attention upon it!Buzz!In Darian Kaelthorn's eyes, as the strange image manifested above the candle flame, he immediately felt a mysterious aura rushing toward him!That aura was exceedingly profound. It carried the ethereal emptiness of the power of space, the traceless yet weathered essence of time, and even a trace of the impermanence of life and death at the end of reincarnation!The fluctuations instantly made Darian Kaelthorn feel as though he had been cast into a great river of space and time. Every passing wave seemed to represent a different point in time. It was as if he had crossed through space, traversed the ages, and journeyed through the cycle of reincarnation itself.The next instant, the strange image that had suddenly appeared gradually became clearer!Though he had no idea what he was about to witness, Darian Kaelthorn instinctively held his

Darian Kaelthorn's question was somewhat subdued. No matter how resilient and unyielding his will was, the scene he had just witnessed had shaken him to his very core.It was exactly as he had said. His future self was unimaginably powerful. With a single step, he could cross millions of miles. With one palm strike, he could erase countless stars from existence.Such unparalleled might was impossible to describe or even believe unless one had witnessed it personally.But it was precisely because of this that Darian Kaelthorn could more deeply understand the profound sorrow and helplessness his future self carried.Despite being nearly invincible, he could only watch helplessly as the woman he loved approached death, powerless to save her. Even if he buried countless stars, he still could not exchange them for her life.What was the point of such invincibility?This thought surfaced in Darian Kaelthorn's heart, becoming the source of the faint confusion now clouding his mind."Invincib

Accept it... or refuse it?Elder Three Slaughters' words echoed in Darian Kaelthorn's ears as he silently waited for his decision.However, Darian Kaelthorn made his choice in only an instant.A sharp smile appeared on his fair, handsome face, while a blazing light flashed across his brilliant eyes."Replying to Senior Three Slaughters—this punch, not only will this junior receive it, but I will most certainly withstand it!"In truth, Elder Three Slaughters' words had contained a subtle trap.Choosing to accept the punch was naturally the right decision if one succeeded.But if one failed, they would suffer severe injuries.On the other hand, one could simply refuse and withdraw.Yet doing so would inevitably plant fear within one's heart. Even if they returned to challenge this floor again in the future, that fear would only continue to grow, eventually shaking their will and affecting their state of mind.Especially for Darian Kaelthorn, failure meant much more than merely losing th

However, the next moment, his eyes flickered as they settled on the final name listed on the Golden Ranking."Duan Tianya, reached the seventh floor four hundred and fifty-three years ago!"Reading the name silently once again, Darian Kaelthorn immediately understood that this Duan Tianya was the very person Elder Three Slaughters had mentioned earlier—the first individual besides himself to reach the seventh floor within the last five hundred years."More than four hundred years ago... Judging by the timeline, this person might still be within the Sacred Path of the Ancients! Wait... Duan Tianya... Tianya... Could it be..."Suddenly, Darian Kaelthorn's pupils contracted, and his breathing stopped for a moment, as though he had remembered something.He recalled that the current Sect Master of the Sacred Path of the Ancients was respectfully known as... Holy Lord Tianya!"Duan Tianya... Holy Lord Tianya!"Darian Kaelthorn repeatedly muttered the two names, a strong feeling growing with

Emperor-Slaughter!The moment those two words left Elder Three Slaughters' mouth, an immeasurable fist intent burst into existence!This fist intent carried an absolute resolve that surpassed everything!Compared to this punch...The King-Slaying Punch was nothing more than child's play!Rumble!Darian Kaelthorn instantly felt the world spinning around him.Even the injuries within his body seemed to be stirred by Elder Three Slaughters' Emperor-Slaughter Fist Intent. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, his blood surged violently, and he nearly coughed up another mouthful of blood.Yet Darian Kaelthorn forcibly suppressed the urge.When he regained his senses, the scene before him underwent another tremendous transformation!He had arrived inside the Golden Throne Hall.High behind him hung an incomparably enormous plaque.Magnificent.Grand.Exquisitely crafted.Upon it were inscribed four majestic characters:Upright and Just.Sweeping his gaze around, Darian Kaelthorn suddenly
