The cylindrical mountain began to crumble as a golden pillar of light shot forth into the sky.
The golden light was imbued with immense power and the cylindrical mountain was reduced to powder from the fearsome blast.

The pillar of golden light slowly vanished and Realm Essence Crystals began to appear amid the debris that was once the cylindrical mountain!
An Lin's eyes widened as he drew a sharp intake of breath before speaking in a trembling voice, "Twenty-one… there are twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals!"
