Remus faced a barrage of dark ink-like spirit energy attacks that came from all directions.He dodged the attacks and released his spirit energy, immediately channeling his spirit energy to elevate himself into the air. With swiftness, he directed his attack toward one of the attackers, aiming to confront them individually.The cultivator who became the target panicked, channeling all his spirit energy into a potent assault. A colossal black mist, reminiscent of a two-yard-wide cloud, enshrouded Remus. The mist possessed the ability to absorb moonlight, casting the surrounding forest into an even deeper darkness.Remus didn't manage to react fast enough and found himself ensnared by the black mist.His longsword vanished instantly, and a discernible figure writhed within the obscurity of the mist. Despite his relentless efforts, he remained incapable of breaking free from its constricting hold.Aether's face flushed red, and he ordered immediately, "Don't stop, we have to increa

Independent cultivators and organizational cultivators followed distinct paths, resulting in a shortage of spirit energy in Darsia, whereas overseas regions had an abundance of spirit energy without needing them to compete for it.Remus nodded in understanding.Wind Hunter hesitated for a moment and added, "Windsor Moreno was an overseas cultivator. It was rumored that he had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage three years ago and should have advanced to the early Divine Separation stage by now. "If nothing unexpected occurred, he should be participating in the assessment this time, gearing up to enter the sacred lands."After all, the difference between the outside world and the sacred lands wasn't just the concentration of spirit energy but also the cultivation techniques. All cultivation techniques were controlled by the four sacred lands, and external cultivators could only transform spirit energy into weapons, which were of a much lower grade.Remus smiled and said,

The atmosphere at the scene immediately turned eerie. The crowd was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Everyone was there to prepare for their sanctuary assessment into the sacred lands. Was it truly necessary to engage in a life-and-death battle?Don hesitated for a moment, shifting his gaze toward Ambrose. Their initial intention had been solely to issue a challenge, and they never expected to become embroiled in a life-or-death confrontation.Ambrose furrowed his brow deeply. Upon their arrival, they had obtained credible information suggesting that Xavier had only recently advanced to the early stage of the Nascent Soul. As a result, they devised a strategy to utilize his reputation to draw attention to Don, who had already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul.However, witnessing Xavier's composed demeanor then, Ambrose had been struck by an unexpected unease. Could Xavier have concealed his true strength and possessed a trump card?Xavier suddenly chuckled and

Upon Aether's declaration, the crowd immediately redirected their focus toward Windsor, their faces displaying a blend of astonishment and curiosity.Even Ambrose, Don, Xavier, and the people from the sacred lands displayed hints of astonishment in response.The people in front of them were all at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, yet they were using such methods against an individual.Windsor's brows furrowed, as he spoke with a deep and firm tone, "I'm not sure what you're referring to. We've never crossed paths, and I haven't taken anything from your Master. Accusing someone without evidence isn't fair. If these accusations are baseless, don't expect me to respond politely."His expression grew increasingly grave. He had originally intended to quietly participate in the assessment among the crowd, not drawing too much attention. However, he had unexpectedly become the center of attention.Aether Hunter let out a disdainful snort and retorted with anger, "If you refuse to admi

The collective spirit energy of everyone permeated the surroundings, intertwining visibly for all to see.The spirit energies in the atmosphere clashed and surged incessantly, posing a lethal threat to anyone below the Golden Stage, who risked being crushed to death."I'm not!" Windsor exclaimed impatiently.He said, "Don't just blindly believe his words. If he says I'm a dark path cultivator, I can also accuse him of being one! Furthermore, I could point fingers at anyone present and accuse them of being a dark path cultivator, simply by uttering the words. Are you all prepared to attack them as well?"Everyone was momentarily stunned. They had been carried away by Aether's emotions and had forgotten that point. They couldn't just believe one side of the story.They all looked at Aether again.Aether immediately said, "It's not an accusation. I witnessed it last night. I am a witness. They are all witnesses as well, and there can be no mistake. Windsor Moreno is indeed a dark
