Boundless Edge was very curious about Zhou Leng, and the two started chatting.

"Which celestial region are you from?"

"Divine Power Celestial Region." Zhou Leng randomly made one up.

"Heard of it, though that region excels in divine power and spells, rarely has martial artists like you."

"My family comes from another celestial region," Zhou Leng said.

"I understand..." The Blue-skinned Giant guessed it might be a martial artist’s family migrating to the Divine Power Celestial Region, "Do you have Giant Bloodline?"

"Yes, my family has the Starry Giant’s bloodline," Zhou Leng replied, completely following his words.

"No wonder I found you extraordinary at first glance, but if you wish to join the Giant Country or civilization, you’d better get rid of the Dragon Blood. The dragon aura on you is a bit strong. Of course, if you only follow the martial artist’s path, that’s fine too..."

The two chatted while lifting stones.

After adapting to this place, Zhou Leng withdrew the Great Sun Divine Skill and continued climbing using only his physical body.

Everyone continued climbing, and soon, a clear snow line appeared ahead.

Below, rocks were exposed, a gray area, covered with heavy snow above.

Boundless Edge looked ahead and said, "The divide between genius and ordinary life has appeared, that’s the snow slope. The faster you run, the heavier the Star Lifter stone becomes, but you still need to run as fast as possible because the weight of the Star Lifter stone determines whether you can enter more advanced ancient bridges..."

Boundless Edge spoke while looking around, lowering his voice.

"Don’t be fooled by these seemingly ordinary demigods, I can assure you, at least a dozen Divine Son-level."

"Hmm?" Zhou Leng looked at Boundless Edge in confusion.

He thought these were just regular cultivators from high-level civilizations, why are there so many Divine Son-level geniuses?

These Divine Son-level geniuses seemed too ordinary.

Boundless Edge said, "They all maintain their strength to preserve stamina for the long journey ahead. However, the truly top-notch genius should be ten times faster than us."

"That fast?" Zhou Leng looked up at the sky.

Celestial region-level geniuses are terrifying indeed.

"Of course, if they’re a true divine child or even a star emperor’s child, they’re born with unimaginable power. We ordinary geniuses can’t even compare."

Zhou Leng looked at Boundless Edge nonchalantly, then checked on the other trial takers in the first stride, all sprinting.

Finally, he turned to look below the slope, densely packed with various races carrying the Star Lifter stones, some walking briskly, some climbing slowly, but none could truly run.

The Star Lifter stones were too heavy.

Ordinary demigods recklessly running, consuming energy, would inevitably lead to elimination midway.

Nearing the snowy mountain region, Boundless Edge said, "Alright, from here on, I can’t chat idly, I need to maintain high speed. You need to control your speed too. Too fast, the Star Lifter stone is too heavy, too slow, you won’t achieve a good score. You probably haven’t trained in advance, don’t rush, just adjust slowly according to our pace."

As Boundless Edge finished speaking, the Four-armed Star Lifter suddenly accelerated, instantly reaching 400 meters per second, over 1 Mach speed.

Meanwhile, his hand holding the massive stone glimmered with starlight, a star shadow appeared on the back of his hand, faintly visible.

Carrying several billion tons of massive stones and climbing at sonic speed for extended periods is unimaginable in elementary civilizations.

Boundless Edge sighed, "No wonder they’re from the advanced cosmic race ’Star Lifters’. He hasn’t even exerted full effort yet. If nothing goes wrong, he should be Divine Son-level, or even Super Divine Son-level. We, these people, probably can’t match him. Let’s go, see you at the peak!"

As Boundless Edge spoke, he also began to accelerate, increasing speed to around 200 meters per second.

The Four-armed Star Lifter seemed to sound a bugle for charge, the entire first tier of demigods started to speed up.

Zhou Leng also began to accelerate, quickly catching up to Boundless Edge.

"Hmm? You’re not bad." Boundless Edge turned to glance.

"Just alright."

Before long, everyone stepped onto the snow slope.

Suddenly, the Star Lifter stone grew heavier, approximately increasing by 60%.

A few in the first tier shook their bodies, and then each Middle-Rank Demigod began emitting their own power, maintaining high speed.

Zhou Leng also felt a hint of pressure.

Looking up, he saw ahead of the Four-armed Star Lifter’s Star Lifter stone an extra semi-transparent sphere, slowly rotating like the moon orbiting Earth.

Judging by the opponent’s speed, this extra sphere likely doubled the weight.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted, snow flying in the sky ahead.

Just as seen, the Four-armed Star Lifter accelerated again, continuously increasing.

Mach speed, the Star Lifter stone gained two spheres.

Mach speed, gained three spheres.

Mach speed, gained four spheres.

The Four-armed Star Lifter no longer accelerating, maintaining 4 Mach speed, moving forward quickly.

"Ah ah ah, I can’t lose either!" Boundless Edge shouted, abruptly accelerating.

Mach speed, 2 Mach speed, finally, stayed at 3 Mach speed.

The spheres surrounding his Star Lifter stone.

The other demigods inspired, sped up.

But most accelerated to 1 or 2 Mach, conserving stamina.

Zhou Leng first accelerated to 1 Mach, the Star Lifter stone gained a sphere, rotating slowly around.

As if carrying two Star Lifter stones.

After his body adapted, continued accelerating, ended at 3 Mach speed.

As Zhou Leng climbed, feeling body changes.

Under a consistent quadruple weight pressure, body felt slightly fatigued.

However, just like an ordinary person carrying a backpack, still manageable.

Many demigods fell behind, paying little attention to Zhou Leng and Boundless Edge’s speed because a short-term lead can’t decide final victory or defeat.

The vast road is long.

This mountain, even Divine Son-level, requires climbing for an entire day and night.

Now, still at the foot of the mountain, not yet the waist.

Boundless Edge looked at Zhou Leng, didn’t speak, nodded heavily, indicating approval.

Boom!

Snow flew ahead, as the Four-armed Star Lifter’s speed increased to 5 Mach.

Meanwhile, his second hand emitted light, star shadows emerging on the back of his hand.

"Phew..."

Boundless Edge suddenly exhaled deeply, blue skin sprouting dense black stripes across his chest and back, like two ferocious ghost faces.

Surging power injected into his body.

His speed quickly exceeded 4 Mach, reaching 5 Mach.

Then Four-armed Star Lifter accelerated, increased to 7 Mach.

Boundless Edge cursed quietly, maintained at 5 Mach.

Zhou Leng watched Boundless Edge’s back, confirming he was from the Ghost-faced Giant race, possessing great strength. When possessed by ghosts and spirits, gaining immense power but losing rationality.

Whiz... whiz... whiz...

Nearby, the first tier demigods adapted to the current speed, began to accelerate, gradually overtaking Zhou Leng.
