Chapter 551: Chapter 545: All Means Unleashed, Eerie Power
What a terrifying pressure!
Not to mention Lin You, even the black-eyed youth possessing heart power was startled, halting before the 980th level, hesitating to go further.
This is no ordinary pressure.
It contains extremely aggressive power of rule.
Going up rashly might lead to death!
Gulp...
The Kings couldn’t help but swallow nervously, their expressions indecisive.
Because the power of rule within them was already running low, staying here would only mean missing the perfect chance to reach the top.
Even though Lin You has a national treasure for the recovery of rule power and skills that consume less, he has less than a third left, so he can’t stay long.
But once you go up, life and death become uncertain.
No one knows what the outcome will be.
After hesitating, some immediately gave up the climb and retreated in a wise move.
Yet more than half of the people hardened their expressions and took out various artifacts and scrolls from their personal spaces, ready for one last fight.
"The complete Divine Fragment... is mine!"
A white-haired old King uttered a hysterical low cry, tearing open a Seven-Colored Scroll in his hand, releasing a terrifying aura far beyond a Tier Ten Lord.
There were signs of approaching Tier Eleven!
Lin You was inwardly shocked because he could feel that the old King had little time left, nearing the end of his lifespan.
If he couldn’t obtain the complete Divine Fragment, he would have to forcefully ascend to Tier Eleven, even if it meant becoming the nourishment for top Tier Eleven upgrades, as it would be the only way to extend his life.
So he would do everything to fight for the complete Divine Fragment.
For people who have lived for hundreds, thousands of years, their eruption is terrifying.
Even Lin You could only avoid their sharpness.
However.
Lin You still underestimated the old Kings’ obsession with the complete Divine Fragment.
As the old King burst forth, the other old Kings refused to be outdone, taking out precious artifacts unseen before, and using them directly.
In an instant.
On the platform, a surge of terrifying power rose into the sky, stirring wind and clouds, shaking heaven and earth like the descent of a Celestial God.
"Is this their final strategy?"
A young King nearby exclaimed, eyes full of horror.
Those reaching this level are considered the pride of heaven, but in the face of these old Kings’ profound heritage, they still inspire fear, chilling the heart.
Since they chose to stay, retreat is not an option.
In the blink of an eye.
Others also used explosive strategies, joining the old Kings to slowly ascend to the next platform.
Including Lin You.
In the final 20 levels, he no longer held back, simultaneously deploying Life Curtain and Guardian Barrier to envelop himself.
Meanwhile, an illusion of a Jade Green Dragon appeared behind him, spewing intense Life Aura downward.
It was the Jade Dragon Mother’s skill, Breath of Life!
As a Tier Ten skill of this Rare Species, the healing effect is extremely powerful, restoring at 5% of Constitution per second while the consumption of the power of rule is immense.
But now Lin You couldn’t care about that.
Seeing the top close at hand, those old Kings and the black-eyed youth accelerated, and he didn’t pause, advancing against the terrifying pressure step by step.
"Crack—"
After five seconds, Guardian Barrier shattered, and a Shield appeared on him.
This was the condensed damage the Guardian Barrier suffered in five seconds, but it only lasted ten seconds before dimming rapidly until it shattered completely.
Immediately.
The terrifying pressure wielded sharp blades, repeatedly cutting his body open, creating hideous, dreadful wounds from which blood splattered out.
Not daring to be careless, he immediately activated Cyan Gang’s War Barrier Skill.
A solid Shield enveloped him, temporarily resisting part of the pressure.
Taking this opportunity, the sustained healing effect of Breath of Life repaired his injuries, allowing him to successfully reach the next platform.
Through this repetition, various defense skills and healing skills alternated, barely keeping pace with the vanguard as he pressed toward the 990th level step by step.
Meanwhile, the power of rule within him was depleting at a visibly rapid rate, facing the danger of exhaustion at any moment.
Once the power of rule is exhausted, Four-leaf Clover Protection can’t be maintained.
He would undoubtedly be crushed into pulp by the overwhelming pressure, without any possibility of resistance!
"Only 15 levels left."
Lin You, covered in blood, stared fiercely at the top, gripping the Mad Rhino Horn tightly in his hand.
Yet before he could use it, a chorus of exclaims rose from the bottom of the Celestial Ladder.
At the platform of Tier Twelve, the Dragon Emperor, transformed into a Golden Saint Dragon, surged with power, rushed to the top, and seized a golden token shrouded in lightning in the center of the platform.
Then plunged straight toward the Gate of the Living Realm, disappearing into the Illusory Realm at the border of the realm.
The strongest in the Holy Light Realm, the Saint Emperor followed closely.
Brilliant Holy Light burst from his body, he similarly reached the top and entered the Gate of the Living Realm, disappearing in an instant.
At this moment.
The crowd below boiled.
No one expected the Great Emperors to reach the top of the Celestial Ladder so swiftly.
Even the Lords of different levels smashing through the final stages were suddenly tense.
Like a signal, they each unleashed their final stratagems, dramatically increasing their climbing speed.
We can’t wait any longer!
Lin You clenched his teeth, immediately launching the long-held Barbaric Roar, his attributes soaring instantly, stepping onto the 985th level platform, just 5 levels left!
The remaining twenty or so Lords also wasted no time, joining him on the same platform.
The increasingly terrifying pressure, like the obliterating force of the heavens, frantically attempted to destroy their flesh, and soon several Kings couldn’t hold on, screaming as they flew backward.
Even with the support of Barbaric Roar’s enhancement, Lin You barely held on, his body continuously disintegrating and reconstructing, always facing the threat of collapse.
Once 30 seconds passed.
He immediately activated Countdown to the End, resetting his state to one minute prior, then launching Barbaric Roar once more!
985...986...987...
In this arduous progress of step-by-step advancing, the explosive force of the two Barbaric Roars was about to fade, and he finally succeeded in reaching the 987th layer, just three layers away from the 990th.
The other Kings were not slow, almost simultaneously ascending to this platform with him.
Looking at the dozen or so remaining people around, Lin You faced two choices in his mind.
One was to gamble.
To bet that the Mad Rhino Horn would be effective against the pressure.
If so, he could unleash all his means right now, rush to the 990th layer in an instant, and use the invincible time of the Mad Rhino Horn to traverse the final 10 layers!
The second was to rely on the Offensive and Defensive Set for attribute rotation.
First, use the Defense Skills of the Nut Species to push his Constitution to the limit, then gradually rotate upward with the three pieces of equipment.
This way the speed would be slower, but there was a big chance of reaching the top, and it was relatively safe.
But in doing so, he would miss the complete Divine Fragment.
All his preparations over this time would be wasted in vain.
It seemed he had no choice but to give it his all, even if it meant failing this time and trying again tomorrow.
With a pensive expression, Lin You made his decision immediately, quietly gripping the Mad Rhino Horn in his hand.
And at that moment.
A young man with dark eyes suddenly let out an angry roar, and the shadow of a heart behind him began to pulse intensely, emitting a strong Evil Qi.
The next second.
A gigantic Chaos Fierce Beast shadow engulfed him, forcefully shaking off the surrounding pressure.
"The Divine Fragment is mine."
With a faint smile, he suddenly accelerated his pace, darting across the platform.
His speed was so astonishing that in an instant, he left the other Kings far behind, climbing to the 988th layer, rapidly approaching the pinnacle.
"Dream on!"
"The Divine Fragment is mine!"
"Mere pressure, break for me!"
The Kings shouted angrily, their aura rising again, unleashing all their means to chase after the youth with dark eyes.
Lin You, too, no longer held back, activating his Hardening Skill, instantly boosting his Constitution by 30%, breaking through the 250,000 shackles with the addition of seven Divine Fragments.
Then he activated the effects of the Offensive and Defensive Set, converting Power, Agility, and Spirit all to Constitution.
With all attributes at 250,000, his strength finally reached an unprecedented level.
Although it only lasted for a brief 10 seconds, it was as if a War God had possessed him, allowing him to race effortlessly across the platform, catching up with the lead group in no time, and successfully reaching the height of the 990th layer.
Accompanying this was an immense pressure sweeping towards him.
Lin You dared to guarantee, this pressure had definitely reached the Tier Eleven level.
Even with his 250,000 attributes, he turned pale from the pressure, his speed suddenly slowing down.
Even two old Kings could not withstand it, being blown away by the pressure, vomiting blood as they were sent flying.
Yet, even so.
The remaining people did not stop, stepping upwards against the pressure.
The dark-eyed youth and two other old Kings did not slow down at all, leaving others far behind, sprinting straight for the Divine Fragment.
Seeing the offensive and defensive conversion effect about to end, Lin You immediately took out the Mad Rhino Horn, using it without hesitation.
"Buzz——"
An invisible wave appeared, enveloping his entire body.
The pressure that was almost suffocating him vanished, making him feel significantly lighter.
It really worked!
Lin You’s spirit soared.
With the obstruction of pressure gone, his speed finally returned to normal.
With a loud blast beneath his feet, he shot towards the high layers like a shadow.
"Haha, the Divine Fragment is mine!"
The old King at the forefront laughed aloud, after exhausting all his means, he finally became the first to reach the top layer.
The dark-eyed youth and another old King arrived shortly after, their speed not diminishing at all, all rushing toward the Divine Fragment in the center of the platform.
Yet just at this moment, a green afterimage suddenly appeared, racing past them and leaving them behind.
"Not good!"
One of the old King’s expression changed dramatically, intending to make a move to stop it.
But the inadvertent killing intent he exuded instead caused the surrounding pressure to surge, making him turn pale, and causing him to kneel on the ground.
Indeed.
On the Celestial Ladder, revealing killing intent was not allowed.
Especially in a place like the top layer.
Lin You didn’t stop, seeing the complete Divine Fragment so close at hand, his speed suddenly increased, reaching out to snatch it in one swift motion.
"Regrettably, this Divine Fragment is mine."
Unexpectedly, at this time, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
The dark-eyed youth, whom he thought had been left behind, suddenly appeared behind him, exuding a strange force that Lin You had never seen before.
He even had a feeling.
This force’s level was higher than the Rules of the Ten Thousand Realms!
Under the enveloping of this force, the surrounding time and space seemed to be frozen.
By the time Lin You reacted, he found himself unable to move.
Not even the two old Kings beside them, motionless with their previous stance and expression like two statues.
What kind of power is this?!
Lin You was utterly shocked.
He could only watch helplessly as the opponent walked over and put away the Divine Fragment.
Then he gave him a profound look.
"Originally, I wasn’t supposed to use this power, perhaps you might be the one to bring change to this world."
After speaking, without looking back, he walked towards the Gate of the Living Realm and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Lin You breathe a sigh of relief, breaking free from the confinement.
The surrounding time and space also returned to their original state.
