Ever since Vaan had ascended to the 490th Mountain Step, he had long drawn the attention of everyone around the Black Mountain. Even the elderly warriors from the 495th Mountain Step and beyond were no exception.
After all, anyone who could practice under the gravitational pressure of the 490th to 530th Mountain Steps was considered a top powerhouse in the entire Great Ratholos Empire.
As such, while the ordinary observing warriors at the foot of the mountain were full of shock and disbelief, these elderly warriors' reactions to Vaan's ascension were milder. Rather, they were mostly amazed than shocked.
However, that amazent quickly turned into shock when Vaan reached the 540th Mountain Step.
Nevertheless, Vaan didn't stop there, and their expressions beca more colorful – from shock to greater shock and from greater shock to dumbfounded. They didn't know what to think or feel when Vaan overca the pressure of the 570th Mountain Step, which even Emperor Varan struggled to endure.
When Vaan ascended to the 600th Mountain Step, all their conflicting and bewildering emotions turned into worship and awe.
Regardless of whether Vaan had used his capabilities or relied on external assistance to reach the 600th Mountain Step, he had undoubtedly created an unprecedented legend in the Great Ratholos Empire.
"I must be dreaming… That young man has ascended to a height that even the mighty Sea Emperor could not reach…"
"How is that even possible…? Does that an his strength is even greater than His Imperial Majesty and the Sea Emperor?"
"That's… impossible! No one can surpass His Imperial Majesty and the Sea Emperor. That kid just has monstrous talent and potential… Yes, that must be it!"
"Monstrous talent and potential? Are you kidding ? Sheer talent and potential can't make up for such a huge gap in body refinent. This kid's internal organs must be made of tempered tungsten or sothing…"
It didn't take for the entire Black Mountain to erupt into heated discussions as everyone speculated Vaan's background and true ability.
Regardless of the warriors' envy and awe, not a single person could take their eyes off Vaan's ascending figure.
Most of the younger warriors even hoped he could reach the very top of the Black Mountain and create an unsurpassable legend that would be rembered for thousands of years.
To the younger warriors, just reaching the 450th Mountain Step was already a distant goal. Thus, they wouldn't even dare compare themselves to Vaan.
It was simply exciting to bear witness to the birth of a legend.
…
The 667th Mountain Step… the absolute peak of the Black Mountain…
No one could imagine the terrifying gravitational pressure it possessed. However, everyone believed it wasn't sothing a Transcendent-rank Body Refiner could bear.
When Vaan ascended to the peak, everyone at the foot of the Black Mountain cheered with excitent.
Of course, Vaan himself was unconcerned with other people.
Even with Vaan's current physical attributes, he found it exceedingly difficult to endure the gravitational pressure of the Black Mountain. It was as if all of the Black Mountain's gravitational force had been channeled into a single point, bearing down on Vaan.
The gravity was so imnse that even Demigods would be brought to their knees.
However, it was just the kind of pressure Vaan needed to temper his body as he perceived the laws, killing two birds with one stone.
Nevertheless, without using any supportive skills to alleviate the pressure, Vaan's body started breaking apart; his skin cracked, his blood vessels burst, and his organs ruptured—only to be restored by his inhuman regenerative ability.
Under the constant cycle of destruction and recreation of his body, Vaan experienced drastic improvents.

Vaan continued to receive strings of notifications from the system as he endured the torturous, self-mutilating ditation, which burdened both his body and mind.
The pain felt like his entire being was subrged inside a giant cauldron of life-threatening flas, refining his body and soul. He didn't get a single chance of respite. The slightest relaxation could prove fatal.
Ding!
