    For Tang San, nts were not just an interest but also a familiar presence. After all, in his previous life, his main Martial Soul was of the nt-ss.


    Activating the Bluesilver Emperor Mark, Tang San also had deep blue vines emerge from his body. After multiple mutations, the Bluesilver Emperor was hardly identifiable as a part of any specific race. The deep blue vines were covered in thorns and were incredibly resilient and possessed a strong aura. Tang San simply released the vines around his body, disying his identity as belonging to the Spirit Monster Race.


    The Spirit Monster Race was diverse and bizarre, andpared to the Monsters, the frequency of bloodline mutations within the Spirit Monster Race was quitemon. Grafting between different races was nothing unusual. Therefore, encountering a mutated type of Spirit Monster would not surprise the Spirit Monsters, and they would actually consider itpletely normal. Even the born and nurtured Tianyang Spirit King was a result of mutation, and while mutations were not necessarily a good thing amongst the Monsters, they were a representation of strength among the Spirit Monsters. Moreover, the aura of the Level 2 Bloodline that Tang San''s Bluesilver Emperor exuded was indeed extraordinary.


    When Tang San participated in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition, aside from using the Two Qi of Yin and Yang, he never employed his Bluesilver Emperor. Thus, there was no need for him to worry about being recognized. Swinging his vines, he paid the fee and began climbing the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain.


    Upon entering the range of the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain, Tang San immediately sensed something strange—it wasn''t the sharp aura that was visible from a distance. Instead, there was a very special viscous feeling.


    The surface of the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain was covered in ayer of faint golden glow. Once inside thisyer of golden light, it felt as if one was immersed in some viscous liquid, which would seep into the body and affect one, making the body feel heavy.


    Thus, various fairies climbing ahead of him were also surrounded by ayer of golden light.


    Some climbing Spirit Monsters soon stood motionless on the steps, and in no time at all, their bodies seemed to solidify and then they tumbled down the mountain.


    Such urrences were not rare, and after falling to the base of the mountain, no one bothered with them. After some time, they were able to get up and leave with the golden light slowly fading, as if their bodies had be very heavy.


    Through his own sensations, Tang San gradually understood what the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain was imparting to climbers. It was a very pure Earth Element. This Earth Element, upon invading the body, would solidify the climber''s physique, causing them to roll down. However, these Earth Elements would also nourish the climbers, primarily the skin, which would be tough under the influence of the Earth Element. The higher one climbed, the denser this element became, and the deeper the infusion into one''s body. This deep infusion would likely gradually affect the body internally.

    Hence, not all races were suited for this nourishment. After being nourished by the Earth Element, bodies would be heavy, and agility could bepromised. However, defensive power would increase. This was undoubtedly a double-edged sword.


    Of course, for certain specific races, this was quite suitable. For example, those who naturally didn''t pursue speed and had strong physical defense could certainly ascend to higher levels.


    However, for Tang San, if he had to choose, agility would definitely be more important to him than enhanced defense through this burdensome method.


    Thus, he didn''t attempt to absorb these energies. The Earth Elements weren''t very beneficial for his current level of Cultivation. He just rapidly continued his ascent while enduring the invasion of the Earth Element.


    The golden light surrounding his body became richer and more viscous, slowing down Tang San''s climbing speed. However, he was still much faster than the other climbers around him, and he soon passed the midway point of the mountain.


    In fact, he possessed the token of the Diamond Elf King, but he did not wish to meet this Emperor for two reasons: one being theck of desire, and the second, to not reveal his identity in front of this unfamiliar Spirit King—which couldn''t bepared to White Tiger Great Demon King or Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.


    When Tang San climbed past two-thirds of the mountain, the pressure began to intensify. In addition to the heavy Earth Element, a sharp force also began to descend from the summit of the mountain. The ground beneath him surged with intense Earth Element, like spikes, attempting to thrust him off the Sacred Mountain.


    But this was naturally not enough to trouble Tang San. Relying solely on the control of his Bluesilver Emperor, he continued to ascend with ease.

    In front of him was a shield of defense made from the gathering of Bluesilver Emperors, and beneath, tendrils of the Bluesilver Emperor propped up his body like spider legs, quickly switching footholds amidst the puncture gaps, naturally allowing him to continuously ascend.


    Gradually, the Golden Essence Pce of the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain was right before his eyes.


    A faint smile emerged at the corner of Tang San''s mouth, he suddenly exerted force, and the bloodline power inside his body surged, propelling his body rapidly upwards. The surrounding Bluesilver Emperors converged inward, and with it, the nt-affinity aura bloomed outward.


    A bizarre scene unfolded, among the many strong individuals of various races climbing the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain, those with nt attributes emitted some vitality, converging towards Tang San. This formed a light blue halo around his body, isting him from the invading Earth Element from outside, climbing quickly, and forcing his way to the summit.


    Bluesilver Field! This was an ability from Tang San''s previous life. Apanying the continuous evolution and upgrading of the Bluesilver Emperor, he had simted it and transformed it into the core ability of his Bluesilver Emperor.@@novelbin@@


    The Bluesilver Field could connect with all nts within its range, affinitize with them, and harness their energy for his own use. In ces with a plethora of nts, this domain''s power would be even more formidable.


    Although the Golden Essence Sacred Mountain had no nt life, those climbing the mountain were all powerful beings, and while there were fewer from the nt-ss than the mineral-ss, there were still a significant number. Now using their power to enhance himself, it made Tang San''s final ascent much easier.


    "Domain?" a deep voice rang out.


    In front of the Golden Essence Pce, a muscr man stood there. He appeared human-like, holding a giant shield in his hand, watching Tang San with burning eyes.


    Tang San drew back the spreading vines around his body, nodded in greeting, and said, "Hello."


    The burly man dered solemnly, "To enter the Golden Essence Pce, you must pass my test. Endure my attacks for three minutes or break through my defense, and you will pass. Of course, you can forget about thetter."


    As he spoke, the sturdy man mmed his giant shield on the ground, producing a deep rumble.


    The man stood over two and a half meters tall, and the giant shield he held was even more exaggerated—at three meters tall and about one and a half meters wide, it was broader at the top than the bottom and shaped like a triangle at the base. It was crystal clear in a sheer yellow, extremely thick and tough, giving the impression it could even block Spiritual Power. Although this object was not a divine tool, purely in terms of defense, it was certainly not inferior to average divine tools.


    "Please," Tang San gestured for him to proceed.


    His purpose ining here was precisely to challenge the powerful beings of the Diamond Elf lineage and, in doing so, acquire bloodline power. Naturally, meeting this figure was most opportune. The aura emanating from his body signaled that this was a Demon King Level powerhouse.


    Compared to other races, the Diamond Elf lineage had an easier time withstanding Tribtions because they were innately adept at defense. Races that specialized in defense often found Tribtion much less challenging. Of course, the ease of their Tribtion also led to ack of potential gains down the line; to gain something is to lose something else, so it goes.


    The burly man clearly wasn''t interested in wasting words with Tang San. He took a step forward, wielding the giant shield, and charged straight at Tang San. The shield, soaring through the air, struck fiercely.


    His speed didn''t appear fast, but when he moved, there was a sensation as if mountains were thrusting forward. The immense power pushed the colossal shield, yellow light exploded, covering an extensive area, rendering escape impossible.
