Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: 100th Step
Xiao Yi climbed all the way up.
With such an effortless appearance and extremely fast speed, how could it seem like he was undergoing any difficult trial?
After a minute.
When Xiao Yi stepped onto the 60th step, his speed suddenly slowed down.
"Hmm? Reached the Saint King Realm." Xiao Yi’s expression slightly changed.
"Why is the increase so rapid?"
Now, the pressure pressing down on him, along with the gentle breeze brushing past, absolutely reached the level of the Saint King Realm.
"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly and began to climb again.
Such a level of pressure wasn’t too significant for him.
After all, his mere cultivation had already reached the Third Layer of the Saint King Realm.
However, his climbing speed now was noticeably slower than before.
If he had previously been strolling at ease,
then now it was like a normal person walking along a regular mountain path, unhurried and calm.
However, this unhurried and calm pace didn’t last long.
After all, with each step upward, the pressure kept increasing.
When reaching the 70th step, "Hiss."
Xiao Yi suddenly took a slight cold breath.
He glanced at his arm, where a white mark appeared.
That was a mark left by the sweeping gentle breeze.
If not for his astonishing physical strength, this sweep would not have been a white mark but a bloody one.
Bang... The sound of a slight burst of Primordial Power echoed.
Protective Primordial Power instantly gathered around Xiao Yi.
The gentle breeze swept in, and the sharpness of the wind couldn’t damage his protective Primordial Power in the slightest.
Tap...
Xiao Yi stepped onto the 71st step.
Hoo... Without a doubt, the breeze suddenly turned gentle, brushing into Xiao Yi’s body.
Xiao Yi felt a burst of refreshment, and the growth of the Primordial Power within him felt much more abundant than before.
The previous levels provided him with some pure strength and an increase in Primordial Power, which was almost negligible to Xiao Yi.
But now, this pure energy gave him a noticeable feeling, proving that the increase of Primordial Power within him was indeed substantial.
Xiao Yi’s face immediately showed a joyful expression.
He continued to climb.
Xiao Yi’s speed kept slowing down.
The previous 70 steps had taken Xiao Yi only a few minutes.
But when he reached the 80th step, 10 minutes had already passed since he was at the 70th step.
The short 10 steps took longer than the previous 70 combined, and the difficulty was much greater.
However, the pure energy obtained was also more.
In his vast Small World, in the Qi Spring, the surging Primordial Power was like a deep, bottomless spring, and at this moment, the pool water had noticeable ripples.
"Not bad." The joy on Xiao Yi’s face became even more pronounced.
For his Qi Spring Elemental Power to stir slightly indicated the significant increase of Primordial Power just now.
After an hour.
When Xiao Yi reached the 90th step.
Tap... This time, the sound underfoot issued a dull noise.
Xiao Yi’s step landed heavily on the stair.
For the first time, his brows knitted tightly together.
"Reached the Peak of Saint King Realm, such a startling sharp wind." Xiao Yi frowned deeply.
If not for his astonishing internal Primordial Power, and his overwhelming Protective Primordial Power, the instant he stepped onto the 90th step, his feet might have been shredded to a bloody mess by the breeze.
Even through the Primordial Power, Xiao Yi could still feel a sharp sting from the sweeping breeze.
At the same time, a drop of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"Such strong pressure, also reaching the Peak of Saint King Realm." Xiao Yi frowned.
He tentatively lifted his foot, intending to step onto the next.
But his step suddenly became painstakingly difficult to move forward.
Clearly just a step away, yet he could only move slowly forward.
Bang...
When Xiao Yi’s step finally landed, a burst echoed.
Rather than saying his foot touched the ground, it seemed more like the terrain slammed hard onto the ground.
With that step, even a small mountain could likely have been shattered.
Yet the stone step remained unscathed, so stable.
"Crack... crack..."
Xiao Yi clenched his fist, forcibly stepping onto the 92nd step.
Hoo...
In an instant, a violent wind swept over.
No longer the gentle breeze but resembling Gang Wind, although this Gang Wind remained gentle.
The Gang Wind swept toward Xiao Yi, his eyes suddenly brightened.
The increase in internal Primordial Power, this time, was even more pronounced.
Under introspection, the vast Qi Spring internally, the Primordial Power directly rose a small degree.
"Continue." Xiao Yi murmured, stepping forward once again.
Of course, his steps were exceptionally slow.
Such painstaking steps, where simply taking a step could move onto the next level, yet unable to step down, was truly uncomfortable.
But then, it was indeed a challenge.
Bang...
Another burst echoed as Xiao Yi stepped onto the 93rd step.
Subsequently, almost every ten minutes, a burst would erupt on the Cloud Ascending Path.
This also proved that with each step Xiao Yi took, he nearly used all his strength.
Also, the occurrences of these bursts gradually lengthened.
Proving that Xiao Yi’s landing speed, his climbing speed, continuously slowed down.
Entirely after four hours.
Bang... A deafening boom erupted for the first time on the Cloud Ascending Path.
Xiao Yi’s step barely stepped onto the 99th step.
"Peak of Half-step Saint Emperor Realm." Xiao Yi’s expression suddenly became exceedingly solemn.
If he guessed correctly, stepping past this level to reach the 100th step, it would be the pressure at the level of the Saint Emperor Realm.
Xiao Yi stopped his stride, pondering.
After all, his cultivation was only at the Third Layer of Saint King Realm, reaching here was already quite difficult.
And considering the rate of this pressure increase, the next step down might instantly face a full-force blow equivalent to the Saint Emperor Realm.
Moreover, if he didn’t proceed beyond, those Gang Winds would continuously assault.
In other words, he would be equivalently attacked relentlessly by a Martial Arts Emperor.
Xiao Yi only pondered for a few seconds, his eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward again.
This time, his steps were much slower than before, nearly unable to fall.
"Fall." Xiao Yi lowly shouted, forcibly landing his heavy step.
Almost simultaneously,
Boom...
An overwhelming pressure suddenly descended on him.
"So strong." Xiao Yi’s expression changed.
Xiao Yi instantly felt like a towering mountain pressed directly on him, making him feel excruciating throughout.
Hiss...
Besides that terrifying pressure, the Cloud Ascending Path also had those continuously sweeping breezes.
A violent Gang Wind fiercely blew in.
Xiao Yi’s Protective Primordial Power instantly dissipated.
A fierce bloody mark was instantly carved on his chest, staining his clothes with blood.
All this only happened in an instant.
Bang... Another burst echoed.
Xiao Yi was like being struck heavily by a massive mountain peak.
His footing neither stable nor secure, directly blasted backward several steps.
Stomp... Stomp... Thud...
Xiao Yi responded swiftly, barely stabilizing his figure at the 96th step.
On the Cloud Ascending Path, each step’s pressure was different.
Retreating several steps, the pressure kept changing.
With his body unable to adapt, the Qi-Blood inside him instantly rolled over.
"Pfft." Xiao Yi spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning pale.
...
The third update.
