Chapter 546 The Special Ordeal (1/2)

Darren was quite thrilled by the discovery that the mountain was formed by Primitive Stones that contained the Heavenly Repression Rule.

Without wasting time, he brandished his sword and blade as he flew toward the vast lava lake. After several swift movements, he had chopped through the bottom of the Primitive Stone Mountain. Once the entire mountain had been separated from the lava lake, Darren placed it in his Space Ring.

”Now I can try to make a breakthrough and reach the Grand Realm,” Darren murmured to himself.

As he was in possession of so many Primitive Stones, the first thing Darren thought of was reaching the Grand Realm and improving his strength as fast as he could.

At that time, both his blade and sword intents were at the premium stage. If the two intents merged again, the power of his dark gold internal force would increase significantly.

Darren's realm was at the top level of the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm. He knew that by absorbing a few spiritual crystals, he could break through to the Grand Realm in one fell swoop.

As he had met every condition for the breakthrough, Darren knew that he had to be quick. Thus, he didn't search for the time turbulent flows on the fourth floor. Instead, he flew out of the lava lake and started assimilating the spiritual crystals to facilitate his breakthrough.

After he assimilated the crystals, Darren felt as though a warm stream was spreading through his body, and that his realm was slowly improving. Soon, he reached a critical point in the breakthrough.

”Stop!” A voice rang out at that precise moment.

Not only was Darren's breakthrough interrupted, but he also woke from his cultivation when he heard the voice.

”Don't go any further in your process. I will keep the spiritual crystals for you temporarily,” the voice said.

Darren released his spiritual sense to look around, but he didn't see anybody. Just as he began rationalizing what had happened, the spiritual crystals in his hand and Space Ring flew out and disappeared in mid-air.

Stunned, Darren's eyes widened in surprise. He asked in disbelief, ”What just happened?”

Before he could figure it out, a big palm reached out from the fifth floor and grabbed him. Soon, Darren found himself being dragged to the fifth floor.

By now, Darren was utterly baffled. 'Who could be strong enough to forcibly haul me to the fifth floor so easily?' he wondered.

”Hey, young man, don't be surprised. Just go to the seventh floor, and you will understand what happened,” the voice said again.

When Darren was lost in thoughts, a middle-aged man appeared before him. He seemed to be the guardian on the fifth floor. It was he who had spoken to Darren.
