The white nebula took the shape of a disk. At its edge, a nebular storm raged, tides of energy and roaring winds threatening to engulf the entire world, swallowing everything in their path.
The nebular storm was indeed terrifying, yet a dazzling cyan radiance pierced straight through it!
From afar, all could only watch.
Within the heart of the nebular storm, a magnificent band stretched for tens of millions of meters—Han Dong's trail, left as he passed, like a line cleaving the chaos in two!
The light condensed—like a rainbow, like a mighty river.
The cyan brilliance took only a fleeting instant; the chaotic storm was split and severed before it, while Han Dong charged directly into the vast rift, leaving all others far behind.
Unreachable—one could only gaze up in awe!
Impossible to stand beside—one could only watch from the sidelines!
"Han Dong!"
"So this is Han Dong's true power!"
No one dared utter a word.
Among the two three-eyed cultivators, one tried knocking on his own third eye, but it remained limp. He gave up and shook his head, muttering, "Let's not get too shocked. No matter how strong Andrew Han is, could he really surpass Sen?"
...
At the same moment, inside the massive rift—
Everyone watched Andrew Han, who had passed the Star-Flame Cloud storm trial and crossed through the rift, entering its interior.
Inside was nothing like the idyllic world one might imagine. Instead, it was a realm filled with white silken nebula, a true vacuum of star-cloud, stretching endlessly above and below as if it were an infinite sky of drifting clouds.
The white filaments floated like mist, ethereal and weightless.
There were no boundaries in sight—only quiet and stillness.
"Hm?"
Andrew Han paused, puzzled.
The world before his eyes was even brighter than outside—no stars, no vast ground, no visible objects, only endless white filaments shimmering with light.
At that moment, a low, deep voice sounded nearby.
"Congratulations."
"First place in the palace entrance trial, Andrew Han."
Andrew Han turned and saw a burly, bare-chested man, his body carved with red patterns, looking him over with interest.
A Stellar Palace-tier existence!
Not just any Stellar Palace-tier—he was likely at the very peak of the realm!
Andrew Han had previously faced Dan Xuchun, a Stellar Palace powerhouse from the White-Horn Clan, so he could now assess and distinguish the aura of such beings.
He followed closely.
The burly, bare-chested man with red patterns seemed to be a Commonline Human. He tapped his forehead, then spoke slowly and gravely: "For a Starlight-tier Commonline Human like you, Andrew Han... I must admit, you genuinely surprised me."
