Chapter1578 Nine Heaven Staircase (2)
Yun Lintian was immediately overwhelmed by laziness and negative emotions the moment he stepped onto the staircase. However, it lasted for a brief moment and then disappeared.
"How do you feel?" Jiang Shuren looked at Yun Lintian and asked with concern. Although she knew that he was the Beyond Heaven King's successor, his current level of profound strength was too low. She was afraid that he couldn't withstand it.
"There's no problem. We can increase our speed." Yun Lintian responded calmly.
Jiang Shuren nodded gently. "We will go together."
Yu Zhilan and Kong Xun had no opinion. They would follow Yun Lintian by his side.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and began climbing.
The four of them were advancing at a high speed, as if they were competing with one another. And a few breaths later, they had rapidly reached the hundredth stair. At this moment, they all immediately felt the pressure double, but it was not too overwhelming for them.
"There are at least ten Divine Emperors in Yang Zhen's group. I think it's better to slow down and follow them from a distance." Yun Lintian suddenly said after arriving at the two hundredth stair.
"You don't have to worry about us." Jiang Shuren said.
Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "I'm not being a hypocrite or anything, but since Seniors risk your lives to come here, I don't want to put you at a disadvantage." Besides, we don't even know what awaits us up there. We shouldn't engage in an unnecessary battle here."
Jiang Shuren and Kong Xun exchanged a brief glance before accepting Yun Lintian's suggestion. The four of them immediately slowed down.
At the six hundredth stair above Yun Lintian's group, Yang Zhen and the others were noticeably slowed down compared to their previous climbing speed. The higher they advanced, the stronger the pressure became. Even though all of them were peak Divine Emperors, droplets of sweat began to appear on their foreheads. Evidently, the pressure here was extremely high.
However, they knew they couldn't stop. Once they were tired, weary to the bone, or perhaps lacking confidence, negative emotions would erupt within them. This was something they noticed after climbing six hundred steps.
"Brother Ling, do you know what the above looks like?" Yang Zhen asked while advancing slowly.
Everyone turned to look at Ling Zemin as they were curious about it as well.
"Where do you think those who came before us went?" Ling Zemin replied in a deep voice. "I invited both of you to come with me because we are going to confront those ancient practitioners up there. Some of them even lived for over a million years."
Yang Zhen's pupils shrank as a creepy sensation emerged in his heart. An ancient practitioner who lived for over a million years? What kind of existence was that?
Meanwhile, Xing Liuxian couldn't help but speak up. "We should invite more people."
Ling Zemin glanced at him and said. "Don't worry. Many of them should have died a long time ago. At most, only their divine souls are left behind. What we should worry about are those powerhouses who came here a few years ago."
"However, I haven't heard of any Divine Emperor entering this place in the past ten thousand years. Hence, we should be the strongest group here."
Xing Liuxian nodded thoughtfully.
"According to my father, there is an ancient battlefield above. It is incredibly vast and filled with traps. There is also a tall tower called the Reincarnation Tower at the center of the battlefield." Ling Zemin further stated.
"Reincarnation Tower?" Shui Fang repeated in doubt.
"In the past, my father, the Beyond Heaven King, and Goddess Yao Xi entered the tower at the same time. When they came out, no one could remember what had happened inside." Ling Zemin explained. "However, my father's strength had increased significantly afterward."
Shui Fang and the others were surprised to hear this. Perhaps the reason the Everlasting Soul God Emperor had become so powerful was because of this.
"When we arrive there, we should stick together as much as possible. Don't try to run around on your own." Ling Zemin issued a warning.
"Alright." Yang Zhen responded.
Ling Zemin's group continued to advance at a moderate speed, and it took them two days to reach the nine hundred ninetieth stair.
At that moment, a powerful force bore down on them. This pressure didn't just affect their bodies, but also their minds. It made them feel extremely weary. If they were ordinary Divine Emperors, they probably wouldn't have made it this far.
Looking at the nine steps above, Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and urged the Starfire armor he was wearing to withstand the pressure as he attempted to take another step forward.
Boom!
Yang Zhen felt as though the whole world trembled. His mind was instantly overwhelmed by a wave of dizziness, causing him to sway and nearly lose his balance.
"Young Master." Dong Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Zhen but was instantly assaulted by a powerful pressure.
"Use your artifacts." Ling Zemin said and took out a green mirror. Instantly, his aura soared, and the mirror emitted a bright green light, enveloping him.
Ling Zemin then took a step forward. With a bang, his entire body was enveloped in an extremely powerful pressure, but he was in much better condition compared to Yang Zhen.
Xing Liuxian and the others had also taken out their artifacts and began to step forward.
While Ling Zemin's group was about to reach the end of the staircase, Yun Lintian and the others had already arrived at the nine hundredth step.
Yun Lintian felt as if there were mountains pressing down on his shoulders at the moment, but he found it bearable.
Jiang Shuren and Kong Xun looked at him with surprise. Yun Lintian was obviously at the first level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, but he looked no different from them here.
As for Yu Zhilan, she didn't seem surprised by Yun Lintian's abnormal strength. Perhaps it was because of her cold and calm personality.
"Hmm?" Jiang Shuren and Kong Xun seemed to perceive a powerful aura emanating from above. Although it was faint, there was no mistaking that someone was using a divine artifact up there.
"It seems we have still moved too fast." Kong Xun said. Evidently, Ling Zemin's group was now not far away from them.
"Do you want to wait?" Jiang Shuren looked at Yun Lintian and asked.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "No need. They should leave before we arrive there."
