As the main peak of Kunlun was approached, the temperature dropped further, and the wind and snow intensified.

The vast white snow quickly covered the footprints left behind.

Traces not belonging to ordinary beasts appeared frequently here, hinting at the danger of lurking Evolved Beasts.

Ordinary people, or even regular Martial Dao cultivators, would find it impossible to move forward here.

Unless you were truly favored by heaven and had opportunities fall into your lap while sitting at home, don't spout foolishness about opportunities belonging to the virtuous.

Based on Yuan Tianzong's experience, he never believed such nonsense.

Opportunities weren't obtained by waiting; they were seized!

On the path where footprints vanished, Evolved Beasts, disoriented and lost, lay dead in the snow, unable to impede Yuan Tianzong's progress.

Stepping into this secluded land, far from the hustle and bustle of cities, his heart held only the desire to break through his cultivation. Anyone who dared to obstruct him, be they human or demon, would be slain!

Walking and stopping, Yuan Tianzong's brows furrowed, unsure if he could obtain profound cultivation techniques here.

After days of searching, he was gradually heading towards the main peak of Kunlun, the "Heavenly Pillar." Ever since the phantom image of the South Heaven Gate had spanned the skies above Kunlun last time, it had not reappeared.

Many suspected that its opportunity had already been taken, or perhaps the mirage was just that—a mirage.

Such a magnificent scene wouldn't appear out of thin air; it must have signified something.

Yuan Tianzong firmly believed this.

His greatest worry now was that someone else had already seized the opportunity, and that person was cunning enough to keep the news from leaking.

If that were the case, even if he turned the entire Kunlun upside down, it would be a futile effort, a waste of time.

Fortunately, such anxiety disappeared soon after.

Because the opportunity appeared before his eyes, visible to the naked eye!

Golden mist, the same golden mist that had appeared not long ago.

However, this golden mist was extraordinary, its scale astonishing.

Looking up at the majestic Heavenly Pillar peak, it was almost entirely enveloped by the suddenly appearing golden mist. From afar, the golden peak resembled a golden staircase reaching the heavens, piercing the very end of the firmament!

Without any hesitation, Yuan Tianzong sped up, the wind whistling past his ears. A black line advanced at incredible speed across the snowy ground.

In his peripheral vision, the dim sun was about to disappear, and the Heavenly Pillar peak, shrouded in golden mist, became even more radiant.

It wasn't just Yuan Tianzong.

At this very moment, countless Martial Dao cultivators were rushing from all directions, and various Evolved Beasts that had been dormant in the snowy mountains also emerged.

Humans and beasts, squeezed onto the same track, their stage of slaughter set as dusk, the transition between day and night, began!

Roar!!

The mountains split, the earth cracked, and avalanches raged!

A group of Snow Apes, over two meters tall with terrifying ferocity, used the terrain to their advantage, employing avalanches as a means to kill human martial artists one after another, then tearing into their flesh, drinking their blood and devouring their sinews!

The glacier beneath their feet suddenly exploded, and ferocious Snow Snakes lunged out, swallowing a human in one bite, causing screams of agony.

Flying birds swooped from the sky, carrying people aloft and scattering blood rain.

Yuan Tianzong, pressing forward through the slaughter, frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that the Evolved Beasts' desire for the golden mist was less intense than that of the humans before him.

Were they bloodthirsty?

Yuan Tianzong didn't dwell on it, smashing a clueless Snow Ape with a single punch.

It would have been better if he hadn't killed it. The moment he did, the surrounding Snow Ape pack immediately turned their attention to him. Vengeful, they roared and charged at Yuan Tianzong en masse.

"Beasts, you court death!"

With the opportunity before him, Yuan Tianzong didn't want to bother with them, but they insisted on provoking him.

Then he would exterminate your entire clan!

As the killing intent arose, his boundless true energy surged out like an invisible tidal wave!

Sizzle!

"My sword!"

"My saber!"

Humans within a hundred-meter radius cried out in horror as their swords and sabers flew out of their hands uncontrollably, soaring into the air. Then, before their trembling eyes, they gathered around a human surrounded by Snow Apes.

Can't find the book title? You can try searching for the author, perhaps the name has changed!

At that moment, the Snow Apes finally realized that this human before them was not to be trifled with.

The Snow Ape leader let out a low growl, and its packmates halted their advance.

"Retreat? Too late!"

Swords and sabers flowed around Yuan Tianzong, his afterimages like the wind.

And the moment he plunged into the Snow Ape pack, the most visually impactful crushing began!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The clash of blades sliced through flesh, and blood bloomed like flowers.

The powerfully built Snow Apes still tried to resist, but whether it was their muscular arms or their claws and fangs, as hard as diamond, anything that dared to extend was ruthlessly severed!

Some Snow Apes, shielded by their kin, broke through the sword matrix and lunged at Yuan Tianzong with boundless hatred, only to be crushed by a single punch in the next instant!

You thought you had passed the trial, but you didn't know that Yuan Tianzong, born in the Dharma-ending era, was a master of close-quarters combat!

Having reached the Grandmaster realm in the Dharma-ending era, his physical body underwent a transformation, transcending mortal flesh in that era of depleted vital energy!

The people surrounding them were stunned by this slaughter!

"So strong!"

"What terrifying combat power! He's killing Snow Apes like chopping vegetables!"

"Wielding dozens of swords? What realm is he in?"

"He must be some super-rich guy modified by technology, otherwise, he couldn't achieve this level!"

"It's good to be rich..."

The particularly large Snow Ape leader, seeing its kin slaughtered like this, restrained its ferocity and knelt down, kowtowing, showing no small amount of intelligence.

However, the flying swords were colder than the wind and snow, slicing through and severing its head!

In less than ten minutes, nearly a hundred Snow Apes lay dead, their blood staining the entire snowy ground. Their limbs were scattered, and very few were intact.

The blood-stained swords fell to the ground.

A figure stepped through the snow and walked away, leaving behind a group of people who, besides being shocked, were now having second thoughts.

Buddy, you want me to fight this guy for a fortuitous encounter?

Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest strategy.

And in the Martial Arts World, the most powerful individuals were undoubtedly those who could strike directly at one's Dao heart, making them lose the desire to even fight.

Clearly, Yuan Tianzong was a master of this art.

At the crucial juncture when the entire Dharma-ending era should have been heading towards prosperity, his appearance caused the Dao hearts of those who considered themselves prodigies to collapse.

An insurmountable mountain, recalling it made one lose all motivation to cultivate.

He charged straight to the summit of Heavenly Pillar Peak.

The number of human martial artists and Evolved Beasts around them dwindled, each one a powerhouse who had fought their way through the chaos!

Yuan Tianzong had already absorbed the golden mist once before and knew its extraordinary effect on enhancing the spirit. Just as he was about to sit down and circulate his true energy to refine it, he was suddenly drawn by a scene higher up.

Compared to the hazy golden mist before him, at the peak of the mountain, in the center of the Heavenly Pool, the golden mist blazed like fire!

Yuan Tianzong abruptly stopped his actions and gazed intently, seeing golden lights appearing out of thin air, magnificent and beautiful.

Suddenly, a sound like "a flower blooming" echoed.

Golden lotuses rose from the Heavenly Pool one after another, blooming visibly, emitting an incredibly beautiful luster, translucent and mysterious, filling the interior of the Heavenly Pool.

The mysterious golden lotuses seemed to be graded, some large and some small. Some had more petals after blooming, while others had fewer.

When the golden lotuses reached a certain size, complex Daoist texts of unknown meaning floated around them!

A great fortune!

The earth trembled, and Yuan Tianzong stepped into the sky, charging towards the Heavenly Pool with unprecedented speed!

"I am Zhong Wanli of Yin Xu Mountain! Those who dare to contend with me for this fortuitous encounter shall die!"

Amidst his domineering declaration, the beings around the Heavenly Pool all turned their heads. They saw an old man charging forward amidst flashes of lightning, with four swords swirling around him, forming a thunder dragon, his aura astonishing.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
