Chapter 195
"Holy crap, which clan’s hidden Dao Child is this?"
"What a powerful aura! He might actually have a shot at the second-tier Deity Reincarnation Pools!"
"What’s the big deal? He’s just a bit fast, that’s all."
"Wait a minute, he’s flying straight for the summit!"
The cultivators along the mountainside were utterly shocked, was he planning to contest the five absolute strongest?
"Haha, what a fool overestimating himself, how ridiculous!"
"Does this fellow actually think he’s that strong?"
"Those top five are all unparalleled geniuses capable of suppressing an entire era, this isn’t a stage where any random cat or dog can compete!"
"I’m already looking forward to seeing him get beaten off the divine mountain!"
Although the speed Adam displayed was astonishing, trying to compete with the top five was simply biting off more than he could chew.
After all, those five could not even be considered normal humans anymore, not a single one possessed an ordinary physical constitution, facing such a massive innate disadvantage, how could he possibly compete?
Adam continued his rapid ascent, naturally unaffected by their mockery, so what if they had special physiques? He would suppress them all the same.
Among the five closest to the summit, there were slight gaps in distance, though the difference was not massive, Soren was in the lead, closely followed by Amber, John, and Aeris.
Pulling up the rear was the Desolate Ancient Holy Physique, Gabriel, because his physique heavily prioritized bodily strength, his pure flight-based divine abilities were slightly inferior to the others.
Very quickly, the five of them landed on the mountain peak one after another.
The summit was a massive plateau covered with countless golden pools, arranged like a pyramid, the number of pools decreased layer by layer, the further back one went, closer to the source, the denser and richer the golden hue of the water became.
By the time it reached the single, solitary Reincarnation Pool at the very tip of the pyramid, the golden color was so dense it looked almost tangible.
The moment Soren landed, he took large strides directly toward that singular core pool, he walked as if it were already his personal possession.
Watching Soren’s back, a hint of gloom flashed in John’s eyes, but he silently walked toward one of the second-tier golden pools.
Although he desperately wanted to soak in the core pool, he had to admit he currently could not defeat Soren, moreover, the clan had issued strict orders, he was forbidden from fighting Soren for it, and if necessary, he even had to protect him.
However, just because John was not going to fight for it did not mean the other three would stand aside.
Amber, Gabriel, and Aeris flickered forward, instantly blocking Soren’s path.
"Step aside, none of you are my match." Soren remained expressionless, his gaze sweeping over the three of them calmly.
"What Dao Body Broken Fetus, aren’t you looking down on us a bit too much?" Gabriel grinned, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth, he had promised to help Amber snatch the core pool, Soren giving him zero face was simply unacceptable, did he really think that because his flying speed was slower, he was weaker?
"Fellow Daoist Soren, regarding this core pool, why don’t we decide its ownership with a simple spar?" Amber’s peerlessly beautiful face showed a slight frown, this person was far too arrogant.
"Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you are the Dao Body Holy Fetus, all of us possess physiques rarely seen in a millennium, we are in no way weaker than you!" Aeris, dressed in a fiery red robe, spat his words as actual flames flickered from his mouth.
This was because he was forcefully suppressing his realm, during a recent moment of enlightenment, he had nearly broken through to the Deity realm, but to enter the Reincarnation Pool, he had violently halted the breakthrough, this left his control over his own power slightly unstable.
"I said, you are not my match." Soren repeated his exact same words, then he completely ignored the three and continued walking toward the core pool.
"Arrogant!" Gabriel roared and threw a violent punch straight at Soren.
The punch carried terrifying momentum, seemingly bringing the weight of the sun and moon crashing down with it.
Soren simply raised his hand, Supreme Dao patterns circulated within his palm, and with a light touch, he effortlessly caught Gabriel’s devastating punch.
Gabriel’s thick purple brows furrowed, although he had not used his full strength, for the opponent to catch his punch so casually meant Soren’s strength was greater than he had anticipated.
At the very least, his physical body was not nearly as weak as Gabriel had assumed.
"Do not waste my time." Soren’s palm gave a light push, and Gabriel instantly felt a massive, crushing force, he channeled his power to resist but was still forced to stumble backward several steps.
As a Desolate Ancient Holy Physique whose greatest pride was his physical prowess, being pushed back so easily, and right in front of Amber, made him feel humiliated on the spot, furious, he raised his fist to attack once more.
But suddenly, a figure plummeted from the sky, landing squarely in front of them, before any of them could react, that figure immediately broke into a wild sprint straight toward the core pool.
The crowd was stunned for a split second before everyone realized what was happening, someone was trying to pull a fast one as an opportunist.
Enraged, they all unleashed their divine abilities, blasting them toward the sprinting figure.
Soren even sent supreme Dao patterns from his hand, instantly erecting an invisible wall directly in the figure’s path.
Left with no choice, the figure was forced to skid to a halt and throw out several divine abilities of his own to counter the barrage, with so many top-tier divine abilities flying at him simultaneously, even he would be injured trying to tank them head-on.
However, because of that momentary pause, Gabriel and the others instantly closed the distance and surrounded him completely.
"Fellow Daoist, this kind of behavior severely lacks grace!" Aeris said, literally spitting fire.
For some inexplicable reason, looking at the youth in front of him, Aeris felt an overwhelming, primal urge to devour him, it felt as if there was something about the other party that was fatally attractive to him.
