At this time, in the middle of the sixth section of the stone staircase, Ruan Hongyuan and a man from the Hongyue Empire were struggling to walk up.
Both of them are at the fifth level of the Divine Emperor Realm, and reaching this point has already reached their limit.
In fact, Lu Yue already felt a little struggling at this time. He was a fourth-grade God Emperor, so it was a miracle that he could persist until now.
His face was as pale as wax, his legs were shaking slightly uncontrollably, and his breath was rising and falling, very unstable.
"How about it? Is it okay?" Ling Hao looked at Lu Yue and asked.
"No problem!" Lu Yue took a deep breath and gritted his teeth in reply.
"If it doesn't work, don't hold on, I'll take you up!" Ling Hao continued.
"It's okay!" Lu Yue shook his head.
About half an hour later, the three of them arrived not far behind Ruan Hongyuan and the other two.
"Second Prince!" The man next to Ruan Hongyuan looked at Ruan Hongyu and said hello.
"Yes!" Ruan Hongyu nodded, looked at Ruan Hongyuan and shouted, "Brother!"
"You have hired a good helper!" Ruan Hongyuan glanced at Ling Hao and then looked at Ruan Hongyu.
"He not only killed the second prince of the Qingyuan Empire, but also killed Long Zhipeng of the Scarlet Flame Empire."
"I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best to stay away from him. Otherwise, it will be a question of whether you can leave the Forbidden Valley alive!"
"Thank you for the reminder, brother!" Ruan Hongyu responded.
"Once they enter the Forbidden Valley, life and death are determined by their fate. Feng Haobo and Long Zhipeng are seeking their own death. You can't blame Mr. Ling!"
"Haha, do you really think no one here can kill him?" Ruan Hongyuan continued.
"Unless he takes his people and escapes from here immediately, no one in their group will survive when Long Zhisheng comes down!"
"Idiot!" After hearing what he said, Lu Yue calmed down and replied, "You'd better care about your own life and death first!"
"How presumptuous! Why are you talking to the eldest prince?" The other man raised his finger and pointed.
Lu Yue.
"Get lost!" Lu Yue replied in a deep voice.
"You..." The man frowned.
"Okay!" Ruan Hongyuan yelled.
He knew Ling Hao's strength very well. If there was a conflict, the two of them would have no chance of winning.
"Just take care of yourself!" Ling Hao looked at Ruan Hongyuan and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Afterwards, he ignored the other party and continued walking up with Lu Yue.
He noticed that Lu Yue was already in great difficulty, so he didn't let him hold on any longer and condensed defensive aura to cover Lu Yue.
Ruan Hongyu didn't say much more to the other two. He took a deep breath and walked up.
"Second Prince...he actually broke through!" Looking at Ruan Hongyu's background, the man said with surprise on his face.
"Huh?" Ruan Hongyuan frowned when he heard what he said.
Then, he released his mental power to investigate, and sure enough, he was already in the sixth level of the Divine Emperor.
"He really surprised me!" Ruan Hongyuan stared at Ruan Hongyu's back, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
After a slight pause, he did not continue going up, but turned around and walked down.
"First Prince, are we not going up?" the man asked after being stunned for a moment.
"With the strength of both of us, we can't complete the sixth section of the stone staircase!" Ruan Hongyuan responded, "Go down and wait to watch the show!"
"Watching a show?" The man was stunned again and then looked at the people above him, seeming to understand.
Half an hour later again.
Ling Hao and the other two came to the sixth floor platform.
After walking here, Ling Hao also vaguely felt a certain amount of pressure.
At this time, on the seventh flight of stone stairs
, with four white figures, they are the two sisters Luo Jingxian and two other women from the Bingyun Empire.
The four of them are all sixth-grade God Emperors, and the two older women among them are half-footed into the seventh-grade realm.
Although the speed of the four people is not very fast, they should be able to barely reach the seventh floor platform.
Luo Jingxian turned to look at Ling Hao and nodded to him with a smile.
At this moment, on the walkways on both sides of the seventh-floor platform, Long Zhisheng and his companion were sitting cross-legged, meditating and adjusting their breath.
Their faces were as pale as wax, their auras were very disordered, and they were obviously reaching their limit.
However, judging from the posture of the two of them, they shouldn't give up so quickly.
"Brother, I won't go up. I'll wait for you here." Lu Yue adjusted his breathing slightly and spoke.
"Okay!" Ling Hao nodded and looked at Ruan Hongyu, "Second Prince, how are you? Do you want to continue?"
"I won't go up either!" Ruan Hongyu shook his head.
He is self-aware, and with his strength, it will be difficult for him to continue.
For him, if he wants to decide the outcome with his elder brother, all hope lies in Ling Hao. If he can't go up on his own, it will have no impact on the result. He just wants to challenge himself by insisting on getting here.
As for the treasures above the stone staircase, only the eighth-floor platform and the treasure hall at the top might have something that could tempt him.
Even if there were platforms on the seventh floor and below, they would not be attractive to him.
Therefore, there is little point in venturing further.
"Master Ling, I'll leave the rest to you!" Ruan Hongyu looked at Ling Hao and continued.
"Okay!" Ling Hao nodded in response.
"Brother, those two people from the Scarlet Flame Empire are probably waiting for you on purpose, so be careful!" A look of solemnity flashed across Lu Yue's face.
"It's okay!" Ling Hao replied
One sentence.
"Master Ling, don't be careless!" Ruan Hongyu added from the side.
"The person next to Long Zhisheng is the most powerful person among the people in the Red Flame Empire this time."
"Although he has the cultivation level of the seventh-grade God Emperor, if nothing unexpected happens, his true combat power may be enough to kill the opponents of the ninth-grade God Emperor. Be careful!"
"Yeah!" Ling Hao nodded.
Then, without further delay, he took a deep breath and walked up the seventh flight of stone stairs.
call!
Just after walking a few steps, Ling Hao exhaled a heavy breath.
I don’t know if it’s because I consumed too much energy before, or if the pressure of the seventh stage is already so strong.
He felt that the pressure here had increased by several orders of magnitude compared to the sixth section.
He is now at the level of a fifth-grade God Emperor, and it is not easy to withstand the pressure of this stage.
After a short pause, without much hesitation, he directly activated his bloodline power.
"Um?!"
The next moment, Ling Hao couldn't help but secretly be surprised.
He vaguely felt that after stimulating the power of his blood vessels, the blood in his body was much more active than before.
It was as if the blood in his body sensed pressure and actively helped him resist the pressure from the outside world.
Ling Hao didn't think too much and continued to move forward.
After stimulating the power of his bloodline, his cultivation level was promoted to the sixth-grade God Queen stage.
In addition, his ability to withstand stress is better than that of people of the same level, so this seventh section of the stone staircase is not too difficult for him.
In about a quarter of an hour, Ling Hao caught up with Luo Jingxian and the others.
"Thank you again, Mr. Ling, for your life-saving grace the past few days!"
Seeing Ling Hao catching up so quickly, Luo Jingxian was stunned for a moment before bowing and speaking.
