Chapter 1543: Chapter 1542: The Challenge on the Heavenly Ladder
Beside him, Steward Jiang nodded in agreement.
"A 300-level staircase, that’s at the intensity of a Primary Divine Race. If this Earth man can reach here, it indicates the enormous potential of humanity. However, I don’t think he can make it this far."
"Why do you say that?"
"It’s already been detected that this Earthling holds traces of Divine Race aura. He used this aura to enter the Secret Realm and reached the Heavenly Stepping Ladder, but this is his limit. Earthlings are, after all, very weak and insignificant beings. Reaching 150 levels is already a Miracle. At 200 levels, the body’s strength requirement will be terrifyingly demanding. If he tries to go on forcefully, it will surely destroy his body. Following that, every 50 levels increase the difficulty significantly; each difficulty is terrifying."
Upon hearing this analysis, Ding Haotian nodded slightly.
"You make a valid point. Seems like I overestimated him earlier."
The two nodded, continuing to watch the projected screen.
Simultaneously, Fang Yu continued ascending the staircase step by step.
The white steps emanated endless Cold Qi, the endless staircase easily evoking thoughts of despair.
Consider a road with no end, would you tread upon it?
Moreover, this is a ladder leading to the sky, leading to unknown places.
When Fang Yu reached the 210th level, he paused.
He surveyed the surrounding scene, perceiving the flow of Primordial Qi and Spiritual Energy in the air.
What fascinated him was that the Spiritual Energy here was all tangible.
If cultivating here, the cultivation speed would be at least 10 times faster than on Earth.
Indeed, there’s always someone or something greater.
This further affirmed the accuracy of the Dark Forest Law.
Fang Yu decided not to ponder further and continued onward.
Upon reaching level 220, he noticeably felt the steps becoming colder, even hearing the sizzling sound of freezing.
If he moved his feet slightly slower on the steps, his soles would freeze to the steps.
Realizing this, Fang Yu promptly summoned Star Fire to remove the Cold Qi from his soles.
Fire restrains cold, fire restrains darkness.
If it weren’t for Star Fire, Fang Yu couldn’t imagine reaching the 200-level steps.
With his body’s Primordial Qi and Attributes being extremely strong and Yang, these combined factors brought Fang Yu to the 230th level.
This scene was also transmitted to Ding Haotian’s eyes.
Ding Haotian and Steward Jiang were astonished, not expecting this human to actually reach the 230th level, even without showing signs of exhaustion.
Seeing this, the two frowned, anticipating Fang Yu would surely continue.
This human is not simple; is Earth’s progress really this rapid?
Fang Yu sat down on the 230th step, legs crossed.
His sitting down left Ding Haotian and others monitoring Fang Yu in shock. These steps hold strong Cold Qi; even regular cultivators would instantly freeze into ice pops sitting on them. Primary Divine Race would dare not linger long.
But unexpectedly, a human dared to sit on them, which means he can constantly rest and continue forward.
The question is, why is he unharmed?
Then surpassing level 250, even reaching 300, seems highly possible.
Fang Yu sat cross-legged not to recover Primordial Qi, but to explore the road ahead.
Looking back, the path couldn’t be seen anymore after 300 levels.
Looking forward, it’s like being covered by a layer of mist, also hiding the staircase’s end.
Fang Yu again exercised his Spiritual Will, expanding his Divine Sense. Moving forward, he didn’t know how much mist he bypassed, how much distance he covered. But he couldn’t reach the end.
Sighing, he collected his thoughts and stood up.
He was unaware that the Divine Race folks monitored his every move. To Fang Yan, his purpose was simple, to bring back Ye Wenjun.
Fang Yu continued forward.
Soon he reached the 240-level steps.
Still unfazed, breath calm without skipping a beat.
At this point, it’s quite fascinating, his complexion already turning somewhat unsightly, his subordinates looking surprised at the screen’s direction.
Humans, indeed.
Defense continued stepping towards the 250-level steps.
For him, it was no trouble; the Divine Race people totally didn’t expect Fang Yu to wield Star Fire.
This is an extremely rare Divine Artifact in the cosmos.
Soon Fang Yu reached level 250.
At that moment, Ding Haotian clenched his fist, despite being a Middle Class Divine Race. Witnessing a mere human reaching this step stirred his anger.
Because he noticed Ye Wenjun seemed highly anticipating, and in his eyes, there seemed an indescribable sentiment towards that man.
This intuition told him their relationship must be extraordinary.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu began moving towards level 260.
Upon arriving at level 260, he felt the pressure doubled.
It’s like walking deep in the ocean.
The deeper you go, the greater the pressure, as the seawater presses on one’s body, like bearing immense weight.
Yet on the Heavenly Stepping Ladder, Fang Yu felt like walking in the sea’s depths.
It’s like two-world theory, one stretching downward, one upward.
This sensation made Fang Yu rather uneasy.
Fang Yu wished to accelerate, so he lavishly used the Star Fire within his body.
Expelling all surrounding Cold Qi.
He then increased his pace.
Simultaneously, his inner Divine Dragon began emitting true aura.
The strength refined from the Dragon Bone was now displayed in full.
Because Fang Yu realized walking in such dense Spiritual Energy and Primordial Qi, the internal Primordial Qi manipulation would become exceedingly insignificant.
It’s like walking through a sea of fire, using flames to extinguish fires?
Therefore, Fang Yu planned to abandon using Primordial Qi, relying solely on physical strength, and continue along the steps.
As Fang Yi reached the 270-level steps.
The pressure increased again, doubling.
Fang Yu felt like bearing a mountain upon him.
The legs began showing slight tremors while walking.
If not for the toughness of these uncanny steps, Fang Yu believed each step would penetrate the stairs.
Due to unbearable weight.
Subsequently, Fang Yu targeted the 280-level steps.
He discovered a pattern; every 10 levels increased pressure, every 50 doubled difficulty, including Attribute, intensity.
"Since this is a Heavenly Ladder, naturally, it exists for people to climb, there must be an end, I don’t believe you have none!"
