At this time, no one could move forward and stopped because they all had to make adjustments.
Because at this time, their body, psychology, spirit and will are facing great tests at the same time, and now it has reached the most severe time.
After running wildly all the way before, everyone reached a limit and had to adjust. When adjusting the body, they also needed to constantly overcome the mental pressure and not let negative emotions affect themselves.
Long Chen took three deep breaths and walked directly to the 997th step. Shui Guanzhi and others looked ugly for a while.
"This bastard"
They were furious, and Long Chen seemed to be deliberately going against them, not giving them any time to rest at all.
If Long Chen is allowed to rush up on his own, doesn't it mean that he is one step ahead among the five people, overwhelming everyone?
Although they were furious in their hearts, when they saw Long Chen moving, they had to follow suit. However, when they just stepped on the nine hundred and ninety-seventh step, a terrifying pressure enveloped them, and everyone's expressions changed.
Big changes.
"The Harmony of Heaven"
Shui Guanzhi, Zhao Wuji, Yue Qianshan, and Zhong Wuyan activated the Harmony of Tiandao at the same time. With the blessing of Harmony of Tiandao, they felt the pressure around them lighten and immediately rushed up to the 997th step.
"puff"
But at this moment, Long Chen spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
"I don't believe it, I can't go up."
Long Chen became furious all of a sudden, using brute force. He withstood the violent pressure and rushed straight up the nine hundred and ninety-seventh step.
But when Long Chen rushed to the 997th level, Shuiguanzhi and others were already rushing to the 998th level.
They wanted to use the power of Tiandao Heming to rush to the finish line in one go. However, when they rushed to the 998th step, everyone was bounced away by a terrifying force.
Shuiguanzhi and others were shocked. They did not expect that the difficulty of the 998th level was several times more powerful than the 997th level. They did not even rush forward.
The terrifying power caused a dull pain in their chests and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. They were all horrified.
"The waves break through the sky"
Shuiguanzhi shouted coldly, and suddenly his whole body was wrapped in endless water runes. A space crack opened in front of him and he rushed forward.
"boom"
There was a loud bang, and the entire Mingtian Staircase shook. Shuiguanzhi was the first to step onto the 998th step.
But even after he stepped onto the steps, people discovered that the Tiandao runes around Shuiguanzhi were constantly rotating and changing shapes, as if there were countless invisible energies around him, squeezing him crazily.
"Okay, well done to Guan Zhi. He was the first to step onto the 998th step, alone ahead of everyone else." Shui Yuncong laughed loudly at this time, his voice full of pride.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, a sword light pierced the void, split the void, and let out a harsh sonic boom. It was Yue Qianshan who took action.
Yue Qianshan's whole body exploded with momentum, like a sharp blade being unsheathed. With a sword, a gap was opened in the space in front of him, and Yue Qianshan also stepped onto the 998th step.
At the same time that Yue Qianshan stepped onto the 998th step, Zhong Wuyan and Zhao Wuji also took action. Zhao Wuji's whole body was covered with a layer of earthy yellow light, like a layer of armor, and he only punched
Smashed down, the terrifying force seemed to explode the air, and he also used this force to successfully ascend.
But Zhong Wuyan was different. A blood mark appeared between her eyebrows, and a rune was drawn. However, only the more knowledgeable people knew that it was not a rune, but a bell in ancient immortal writing.
That is Zhong Wuyan's ancestral pattern. There are many types of ancestral patterns. All descendants left by a strong person in the Xiantian realm will inherit a trace of his bloodline power. This is an excellent inheritance.
But Zhong Wuyan was different. Her ancestor was a terrifying king, and the power of her ancestral patterns was completely different from Gu Yang's.
As soon as the ancestral pattern appeared, the void trembled and the earth roared, as if there was a mysterious power coming from the center of her eyebrows, suppressing the fluctuations in the space, and she also stepped onto the 998th step.
Now only Long Chen was left, standing alone on the 997th step, panting like crazy. This scene made everyone look a little weird.
"Humph, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. Now you know what the secret is, right?" Shui Guanzhi stood on a high place, looked down at Long Chen and sneered.
Everyone else also looked back at Long Chen. Although they did not speak, the contempt in their eyes could not be expressed more clearly.
"That's not right. When Long Chen fought against Shuiguanzhi, the huge colorful ring seemed to be extremely powerful. Why not use it?" Someone was puzzled.
In fact, this is a question that bothers everyone. What does Long Chen want to do? Why does he still keep his trump card when he has clearly reached his limit?
"Hmph, you are worthy of being called the genius? This ladder to the underworld is obviously a test of all aspects of a person's will, body, and soul.
You guys are cheating at all, and you actually put on a sarcastic face. I really admire you, how do you practice, and how do you practice to be so thick-skinned?
I will show you today what it means to be a pure man, what it means to be a true man, and what it means to have an attitude of spiritual practice.
I didn’t use any magic today, I just relied on my own body to rush up the 999 steps of the ladder to open the eyes of you fools who have never seen the world." Long Chen pointed at the four people above and sneered.
There was still a hint of anger in Long Chen's voice. He was indeed very angry. The words he cursed just now were just words of anger.
In fact, just when everyone summoned the Heavenly Dao Heming, Long Chen was not a fool. He knew that he should not hold on and started to summon the divine ring.
But just after he summoned the divine ring, before he actually summoned it, Long Chen felt that the pressure around him suddenly increased dozens of times, almost crushing him to death. Then he hurriedly stopped, but he still spit out a mouthful of blood.
.
Later, Long Chen realized that his divine ring was different from the Heavenly Dao Heming of the second-grade Skywalker. The divine ring absorbed the surrounding power and supplied it to Long Chen, rather than helping him resist.
As a result, as soon as Long Chen unfolded the divine ring, all the energy around him was sucked in by him, and he almost died.
Long Chen knew that he was going to be miserable today. He had been holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. Seeing Shui Guanzhi and others ridiculing him, Long Chen suddenly found an opportunity to fight back. He scolded the four people until they were furious.
He said it all, and they couldn't refute it.
"You..., okay, let us see how you can come up without external force." Shuiguanzhi laughed angrily.
You must know that with the blessing of Tiandao Heming, they tried their best to climb up to the 998th level. Even if they were killed, they would not believe that Long Chen could climb up without relying on external force. This is simply a fool's dream.
This was so pretentious that the four of them were too lazy to pay attention to Long Chen and began to approach the 999th level.
When they approached the 999th level, all of their faces turned pale, because there was endless pressure on the 999th level, and there was a strong aura of death in that pressure.
In that pressure, they all felt a fatal threat, that is to say, this pressure might kill them.
They never dreamed that this 999th level would be a critical point between life and death, and they would lose their lives here if they failed.
"This is definitely an illusion. How could we die here? I don't believe in evil." Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, running runes all over his body, and rushed towards the nine hundred and ninety-ninth level.
"puff"
Suddenly, a transparent flying sword flew out from the 999th step and struck at Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji was horrified and hurriedly resisted, but the transparent flying sword actually broke through his defense.
A large gash over a foot long was cut on his chest.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. In terms of physical defense, Zhao Wuji was actually the strongest. The runes covering his body were more powerful than the aura armor.
But Zhao Wuji was injured in one blow. If they were not known for their defense, if they were hit by a flying sword, wouldn't they be cut into two pieces at once?
"Humph, let me try"
Shuiguanzhi stretched out his big hand. He did not move, and a water arrow flew towards the 999th step. However, he was very cautious. The water arrow flew out, and he wrapped his whole body in endless runes.
"puff"
Another transparent flying sword flew out and chopped the water arrow into pieces. At the same time, it went straight to Shuiguanzhi, directly penetrated the water rune of Shuiguanzhi, and stabbed his heart.
Shuiguanzhi was horrified. He didn't expect that his water runes were just like ordinary water in front of the flying sword, and had no resistance at all.
"Tian Shui Shield"
Shuiguanzhi shouted loudly, formed seals with his big hands, and instantly deployed three water shields in front of him, but he was still penetrated by the sword.
Just when Shuiguanzhi was about to be pierced through the heart by a sword, the transparent flying sword also lost its power and disappeared in front of everyone. Shuiguanzhi was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"The four of us are divided into four directions and we can try to disperse its power together," Zhong Wuyan suggested.
The four people nodded and walked up the steps at the same time from four directions. But what shocked them was that the four of them were attacked at the same time, and the power was not reduced at all.
"You have to take a risk. Don't hold anything back. Go out with all your strength and try to see if you can rush forward. There is no way out!" Zhong Wuyan suggested.
Everyone hesitated for a moment and then nodded. The 999th level was so perverted that there was no possibility of trickery and they could only fight head-on.
Because through the test just now, they discovered that the barrier in front of them was extremely powerful and full of murderous intent, so they had to go all out.
"superior"
For a moment, the runes on the four people's bodies flashed, and their whole bodies glowed. They rushed towards the nine hundred and ninety-ninth staircase in the strongest defensive posture.
"boom"
There was an explosion, and four people rushed towards the 999th staircase at the same time. Suddenly, the space on the staircase trembled, and thousands of flying swords formed, mercilessly slashing at everyone.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
Blood splattered, and the four people were stabbed with countless transparent holes and flew upside down. The expressions of all the powerful men of Xuantian Dao Sect changed.
