Whoooosh!The air rushed past with incredible speed."A ghost!" a disciple yelled, frantically looking left, right, and behind him. His legs shook uncontrollably as he stumbled forward."There's no ghost in the void, idiot," a red-haired disciple mocked. "It's just the wind. Now stop walking so slowly and keep up before something actually comes for you." He stared warily into the deep darkness surrounding them.The others burst into loud laughter.The frightened disciple quickly returned to formation, sweat forming on his face as the cold night breeze rustled past.Elder Hu sighed deeply. "Brats," he muttered to himself, shaking his head.The alley was wide, lined with broken buildings and tall greenish grass hidden beneath the dark night."Elder Hu!" A female disciple rushed toward him from the back line. Her brown eyes blended with the shadows. "The stone just turned red." She held it up in her palm for him to see."That means we’re getting close. Good," Hu commented. "Keep watching

Yang and fewer than fifty disciples stood in the fiery field, their eyes widened and mouths agape as they beheld the massive structure of the Fourth Trial Hall. Its majestic design was combined with an overwhelming aura radiating from behind the sealed doors.Two lion statues guarded the left side of the door. Their bodies were covered in red-hot flames that burned constantly, jaws wide open, revealing huge, sharp teeth.On the right side stood two dragon statues. One stood on all fours, its body clad in thick armor and golden flames. The other appeared to have no skin at all — as if the fire itself formed the dragon’s body.“Mo-hi,” Yang called, his gaze carefully scanning the surroundings of the hall.“I’m here, Senior Yang.” Mo-hi appeared like mist in front of him, one leg deeply planted in the soil. He was seven feet tall, his muscles well-trained from years of war, cultivation, and proper rest.“I’m giving you the honor of taking on the fourth trial first,” Yang said. His yellow

*This energy belongs to Yang. Doesn't he want me dead?* Mo-hi thought. His vision brightened bit by bit as the red marks receded. *Why is he helping me out? Forget about that for now, Mo-hi, and finish your breakthrough.**HARDEN, FALSE CORE!* Mo-hi roared inwardly.The liquid merged together and began spinning rapidly. His energy, combined with the golden Qi, surged ever higher. The liquid started to evaporate while condensing at the same time.*Fuck. Not on my watch!*As the liquid continued spinning rapidly, he froze it halfway, then heated it up again and again and again.Half a day passed in a blur. Evening arrived, and the liquid finally hardened before cracking open.Mo-hi's energy shot high into the sky like a rocket. Lower realm disciples were thrown like ragdolls across the field.Mo-hi rose to his feet, fists clenched, eyes burning with blue energy. The air felt different now. The pressure no longer affected him. He walked up the remaining steps with ease.*No tribulation c

"Where Dem dey, system?" Chris whispered. [Where are they, system?][The Golden Stairway Appeared In The North — They Are Currently Approaching From There.]"Which way leads to the north?"[Follow Your Right Side And Keep Heading Straight.]The Naija youth turned to his right like a fighter jet. His speed increased rapidly, leaving behind a trail of white smoke. [Naija = Nigerian]"How many are left? ‘Cause I’m certain they didn’t all survive the fifth trial hall!"[20 Disciples Survived The Fourth Trial Hall.] [5 Disciples At The Core Formation Realm.] [15 Foundation Building Disciples.] [Notice: The 15 Foundation Building Cultivators Sustained Different Injuries.]*Injuries?* he thought.[Yes.] [All 15 Of Them Sustained Heavy Injuries.]"Weren’t they healed by the golden light, as I was?"[Yes, They Were. But It Wasn’t As Potent As Yours.]"Why?" The Naija youth questioned, flying lower behind the tall structures as he approached the north side of the fifth continent. L

"Listen everyone, this boy is possessed by a demon. Alone, I cannot defeat him, but together we can bring him down," Yang spoke. "If we don't kill him now before he unleashes his full power, we are all going to die." Yang's voice rose.Chris's eyes looked downward, staring far ahead. The Foundation disciples gathered one after another, blades drawn—some determined, others filled with fear but with no choice.It was fight and die, or wait and die. In the Lion Clan, even the weak disciples knew better than to wait for death."Children should know better than to interfere with the war of adults." The Naija youth's voice thundered, his eyes lighting up even more brightly.[Title Activated] [Friend Of Nature]The earth suddenly rumbled dangerously. The ground vibrated without warning, buildings shook, and debris from cracked foundations fell to the ground.Massive bodies emerged, marching in from all sides and from great distances.
