Buzz.
Origin force erupted from Lucian Valeblue like a storm, tearing through the arena. The air itself seemed to shiver under the weight of it. Disciples instinctively held their breath. The predator was poised, ready to strike. Cruelty gleamed in Lucian’s eyes. This “cripple,” Darian Kaelthorn, would be crushed. No hesitation. No mercy. From the first blow, Lucian intended to leave nothing behind.
“Earthfiend Tiger’s Courage Fist!”
The roar split the air, bouncing off the highest walls. Behind Lucian, a phantom tiger sprang to life, stripes shimmering, fangs bared. It fused with his body, massive and terrifying, a mountain beast leaping from the abyss to devour its prey. Origin force rippled outward like a tidal wave. Domination itself radiated from him.
“Trash! Lie down for me!” Lucian snarled, the threat sharp and certain. The tiger lunged, crushing speed and merciless intent packed into its strike.
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
“So strong… Lucian’s power is insane!”
“This is a Soul Moon’s strength—a Valor Soul Stage cultivator!” “How could Darian, Ironbody Tier Fifth Layer, even hope to survive this?”Even Patriarch Theron’s calm mask faltered. He had seen what Lucian could do. Eldric, on the other hand, leaned back, a smirk curling coldly. To him, this was the spectacle of crushing an ant.
Roar!
Darian stood firm, black hair streaming behind him, calm as a still mountain. Yet a ferocious light blazed in his eyes. Stronger than the Valor Soul cultivator he had faced in the Ancient Beginning Forest. But fear? None at all. Today, he would meet Lucian head-on.
Buzz… swish.
Golden-red qi and blood surged, entwined with his Holy Dao battle aura. Every step radiated power. Every heartbeat is a drum of life and force. No dodge. No retreat. Only forward.
“Earthfiend Tiger’s Courage Fist!”
Darian’s roar echoed like thunder. Behind him, a golden tiger phantom coalesced, muscles rippling, eyes burning with divine fury. Shockwaves from the two phantom tigers collided, shaking the arena.
Bang. Buzz.
Theron’s face tightened. Eldric’s smirk froze. Valtor Grimspire’s piercing gaze flickered with interest, and even Seraphina Virelle’s cold stare wavered. In the crowd, Kaelen’s fists clenched in disbelief, while Aeris felt a thrill of cruel satisfaction—Trash Darian would finally pay.
When the forces dissipated, both fighters stood intact.
Thud… thud… thud.
Four steps back each. Perfectly measured.
Lucian’s face twisted. Darian, calm, uninjured, eyes blazing like twin suns, had met his strike blow for blow.
The arena erupted.
“Is this real? Darian blocked Lucian’s fist!”
“And he’s fine?!” “Impossible! Lucian is Mortal Purification Stage!”Lucian’s disbelief burned. One punch resisted? By this boy? His white origin force flared. Another strike, tenfold fury, no margin for error—he would crush this insolent “trash” or die trying.
“Good! Come, Lucian!” Darian thought, heart surging. The Spirit-Bursting Pill had elevated him. One month had carried him from Fifth Layer Tendon-Refining Minor Completion to Ninth Layer Marrow-Refining Great Completion. Ten years of silence, ten years of preparation, finally bearing fruit. No one could stop him now.
Qi and aura collided repeatedly, each strike shaking the arena. The weight of Ironbody Tier Great Perfection radiated from them. Shock replaced scorn. Fear replaced envy. Kaelen’s scar twitched. Aeris’s chest heaved, mind struggling to process the impossible. Even Theron’s inner astonishment peeked through, while Eldric’s eyes glinted with dangerous curiosity. Valtor’s gaze never wavered, and Seraphina’s scrutiny revealed thinly veiled intrigue.
Bang!
They parted briefly, only to collide again. Lucian struck faster, sharper, more ruthless than before. Darian met him head-on, timing every counter perfectly.
“Troublesome,” Lucian muttered, teeth gritted. “Ironbody Tier strength alone cannot break him. If this continues… I may even lose.” A chill ran through him as he glanced at Valtor. Decision made.
Rumble!
Lucian’s aura deepened, sharpened, radiated sheer danger. Buzz. Behind him, a pale silver Soul Moon hovered, mirroring its master’s height. Cold light fed his power.
Darian’s expression hardened. Finally showing your full strength? Good. No fear—only resolve. If Lucian wanted to end this, so would he.
“Darian, you’ve hidden well,” Lucian said coldly. “But I will show you the chasm between our realms. Despair. The Blood Dragon Jade will be mine!”
The Soul Moon pulsed. Energy coiled in his hands, forming a coiling azure flood dragon.
“High-grade martial art—Heavenly Gang Wandering Dragon Hand!”
Rooaaar!
The arena shook under the dragon’s majesty. Darian narrowed his eyes. The Heavenly Gang Wandering Dragon Hand was a supreme technique, reserved for clan heads and the number-one genius, fused with mid-grade Heavenrend Force. Precision was absolute.
Buzz.
Two azure flood-dragon shadows spiraled around Lucian’s hands, aura rolling outward like a tidal wave. Even for a Valor Soul Stage cultivator, this demanded perfection.
Roar!
Darian’s golden tiger phantom surged in defiance. The Earthfiend Tiger’s Courage Fist evolved into Tiger Shatters the World, golden-red qi and blood exploding in waves of pure force. He hadn’t mastered Lucian’s art—but raw strength, skill, and the Spirit-Bursting Pill’s awakened Holy Dao battle aura were enough.
Bang! Thud!
Tiger met dragon. Gold met azure. Fury met skill. The arena quaked. Lucian’s Heavenly Gang Wandering Dragon Hand tore at Darian’s guard like a predator ripping free.
“Fall, Darian! Under my hands, you are nothing!” Lucian sneered.
Roar! Bang!
Lucian split his claws into afterimages, raking Darian’s chest. Blood streaked his robe. The crowd gasped.
“I told you! Once Lucian unleashes his strength, Darian cannot last!”
“Too strong! The Heavenly Gang Wandering Dragon Hand is invincible!” “Darian’s defeat is only a matter of time.”Theron sighed inwardly. Darian’s raw strength was unexpected, but beating Lucian seemed nearly impossible. Aeris’s eyes sparkled with cruel joy; Seraphina’s gaze flickered with doubt. Valtor remained unreadable.
Darian’s pain sharpened his resolve. So be it. If I am to survive, I must unleash everything.
Buzz!
Holy Dao battle aura surged, radiating like a tidal wave. Golden-red qi, blood, and pale-gold aura fused. The Warborn Covenant’s origin awakened fully, flooding him with strength multiplied manifold.
Lucian’s sneer faltered. “Parlor tricks!” He lunged. “This ends now!”
Rooaaar!
Azure dragon claws lunged—but froze mid-strike. An overwhelming battle aura slammed into him like a god towering over time.
“What… what is this?”
The collision pushed him backward. Darian stood tall, resolute, eyes like drawn blades, wrapped in pale-gold radiance. His Warborn Covenant’s origin had awakened—the true source of his power.
Golden tiger coiled around him, fiercer than ever. Earthfiend Tiger’s Courage Fist had evolved, sharpened under the origin’s blessing.
“Heavenly Gang Wandering Dragon Hand—Azure Dragon Seeking Claw!” Lucian roared.
Tiger met dragon. Gold met azure. Fury met skill. The arena quaked. The crowd roared. Every strike carried the weight of destiny.
“Lucian! Let’s see who stands last!”
“Darian! Victory will be mine!”Behind them, the phantoms surged, the clash reaching its ultimate crescendo. The battle for the Blood Dragon Jade—the moment of destiny—had truly begun.

After leaving the Trial Tower, he immediately chose to return to the Battle Formation Palace and use the final day he had left to enter seclusion.Under the guidance of the Son of the Heavens’ cultivation light, he had officially broken through to the early stage of the Power Soul Stage. At the instant of his breakthrough, his Sacred Path Battle Qi, golden-red blood essence, and divine soul power all experienced an astonishing surge!However, because he had previously been inside the Trial Tower, Darian Kaelthorn naturally had no opportunity to properly experience and consolidate his cultivation after breaking through to the Power Soul Stage.Buzz!Inside the room, dense Sacred Path Battle Qi spread outward. At the same time, an intense heat permeated the surroundings. This was because Darian Kaelthorn’s golden-red blood essence was surging and boiling like waves and tides!Intense and vigorous!The golden-red blo
Chapter 319: A Trace of Tenderness
After stepping out of the Trial Tower, Darian Kaelthorn was somewhat bewildered by the scene before him. The dazzling radiance behind him shot straight into the sky, completely enveloping him, as though it were proclaiming his achievement to the entire Sacred Path of the Ancients!The gazes directed at him from around the Trial Tower were filled with excitement, fervor, passion, envy, amazement, and all kinds of other emotions, all plainly visible!Darian Kaelthorn could even see the eyes of many female disciples. When they looked at him, their gazes were filled with shyness and affection, as though they wanted to swallow him whole.Countless thunderous cheers erupted like a storm centered around the Trial Tower, spreading far into the distance!No matter how calm and composed Darian Kaelthorn was, or how firm his will was, being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes at once still caught him completely off guard and left him extremely puzzled.“I only passed through the Trial Tower.
Chapter 318: Radiance Shines Upon Me!
The ball of light containing the Heavens’ inheritance entered Darian Kaelthorn’s body, yet it did not cause any drastic change. It was as though a drop of water had merged into the sea, silent and without the slightest disturbance.However, Darian Kaelthorn could clearly feel that something had been added to his body. But whenever he exerted his full strength to search for and sense it, that feeling immediately disappeared.Darian Kaelthorn instantly understood. Just as the Son of the Heavens had said, the Heavens’ inheritance had been sealed inside his body through a special method. Only when the appropriate time came would it awaken on its own.“When the Heavens’ inheritance awakens within your body, you will obtain the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Dao, including various exclusive cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, divine weapons, and so on. Therefore, this can indeed be considered a reward for you. It’s just that you cannot obtain it directly right now.”The Son
Chapter 317: The Grand Divine Cosmos!
There was a third reward?The Son of the Heavens’ words left Darian Kaelthorn stunned. To be honest, the first two rewards alone had already filled Darian Kaelthorn with immense surprise, especially the second cultivation reward, which had allowed him to officially break through from the peak of the late Soul Essence Stage to the Force Soul Stage.Although it was merely a breakthrough of one stage, its significance to Darian Kaelthorn was completely different!Darian Kaelthorn had a feeling that if the spirit of the Trial Tower had previously issued the rewards for clearing the tower, it absolutely would not have been possible for it to directly help him increase his cultivation. Moreover, the rewards from the tower spirit would certainly have been far inferior to those from the Son of the Heavens.“Actually, although it is called a reward, it may also be considered a commission from me—a responsibility entrusted to you. You are a disciple of the Myriad Heavens Sacred Dao. I wonder if
Chapter 316: Force Soul... Ascending Moon!
“I choose the Five Tribulations Reversal Finger.”Silently uttering these words in his heart, Darian Kaelthorn immediately felt the Myriad Heavens Sacred Light enveloping him begin to tremble, merging perfectly with him before finally condensing onto his right hand!At the same time, Darian Kaelthorn’s gaze became dazed and profound!Everything was chaotic and hazy, yet it also felt as though enlightenment had been poured directly into his mind. Five fingers appeared in his mind, each respectively condensing the power of the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—and they began to continuously converge and surge!The five fingers emitted completely different auras!The sharpness of Metal was unparalleled, the heat of Fire was violently scorching, the annihilation of Water was boundless, the alternation of decline and prosperity of Wood was ever-changing, and the inclusiveness of Earth embraced the eight directions!These insights were vivid and complete, perfect beyond comp

Darian Kaelthorn instantly recognized this voice. It was precisely the cold, deathly voice that had appeared from the first level all the way to the ninth level.“I am the spirit of the Trial Tower. All-Heaven Sacred Dao disciple Darian Kaelthorn, on your first attempt at the tower, you have cleared all nine levels. Your performance is rated ‘Perfect.’“The rewards are as follows...”“So this cold, deathly voice is the spirit of the Trial Tower. No wonder it could communicate from the first level all the way to the ninth.”Darian Kaelthorn nodded, and a trace of joy appeared on his face. At this moment, he had finally cleared all nine levels of the trial and was about to receive his reward. According to Riven, this reward would be quite a good harvest for him at his current stage.Although he had gained certain rewards after clearing each level starting from the fourth, this was the final reward, and he was truly looking forward to it.However, right after the tower spirit finished sa
