Vorkoth stepped forward into the center of the vast stone chamber.
The air hummed with dense, ancient energy as he raised his hand and began bestowing the rewards earned during the trial.
The participants ranked from tenth through fourth were called forward first. Vorkoth produced a series of radiant weapons forged from cosmic metal. Each weapon emitted a pulse of terrifying power, granting its wielder the ability to unleash combat strength an entire realm above their current cultivation level. This effect would persist until they reached the Galactic Realm.
The eyes of the recipients burned with absolute excitement as they accepted their prizes.
Next came the third-ranked participant.
Aurelius stepped forward with a mixture of reverence and anxiety. Vorkoth presented him with an exquisite crimson blade and a vial filled with glowing blue fluid.
