"Power of Thunderbolt, huh?"
"Perfect, I have it!"
Feeling the Thunderbolt’s force on the fourth Heavenly Ladder, Lin Chen smiled and immediately unleashed the power of Thunder and Lightning. The power of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl was stimulated instantly, allowing Lin Chen’s pace on this fourth ladder to remain exceedingly fast.
Next, he reached the fifth Heavenly Ladder, where the power of the Wild Wind was tested. For Lin Chen who had mastered the True Meaning of Wind, this was no challenge. The sixth Heavenly Ladder tested the Fire Attribute Power again, with flames even more formidable than before.
Lin Chen suddenly realized that these Heavenly Ladders continuously tested with different elemental powers to refine the body of the Inheritor, easing their adaptation.
If one could not adapt, they would naturally be eliminated, but if one could endure, it would greatly benefit the Inheritor.
Like Lin Chen, after passing through the ladder of flames again, his Blue Lotus Divine Fire finally evolved from Second Grade to Third-grade.
If nurtured with the Divine Fire Glazed Cup, who knows how many Spirit Stones it would take to advance, yet now, merely through two ladders, such advancement was achieved. Naturally, Lin Chen yearned for more.
However, when Lin Chen passed the ninth Heavenly Ladder, he began to struggle as most of his Spiritual Power had been depleted.
Without Spiritual Power, a Martial Artist naturally cannot exert their full strength.
Lin Chen wanted to take an elixir from his Spatial Ring to recover his Spiritual Power but found that the Spatial Ring was sealed and he couldn’t take anything out.
Lin Chen had a thought, considering extracting an elixir from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s space, which wasn’t sealed, but was stopped by the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron itself.
"The creator of this space intended for you to grasp the true intents of the powers he left behind, so do not take any elixirs. Use your perceptiveness to comprehend the true intents within these Heavenly Ladders, and then absorb the powers from each ladder using the Primordial Transformation Art."
The Artifact Spirit of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron transmitted these words to Lin Chen, and Lin Chen nodded in agreement.
The mystery of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron made Lin Chen feel it was unfathomably profound; even the great power who created the Descending Heaven Hall could not subdue it, showing it was truly an unparalleled artifact.
For an average Martial Artist to comply with the Descending Heaven Hall Master’s wishes and grasp the Great Dao True Intents he left behind might be difficult.
But Lin Chen was different; he had already passed nine Heavenly Ladders. The powers he encountered so far included the Five Elements and three special powers - thunder and lightning, ice, and wind.
Lin Chen had already mastered four of these powers and only needed to comprehend the remaining four to master all eight powers manifesting.
For an average Martial Artist, even with a grasp of true intent, extracting power from these ladders is challenging.
After all, it’s extremely difficult to counter the impact and pressure of those powers while also recovering power.
But for Lin Chen, it was a completely different case.
He had cultivated the Primordial Transformation Art, allowing him to absorb power from the true intent powers to recuperate himself, a simple task for him.
And with the domineering nature of the Primordial Transformation Art, even if the power was not one Lin Chen mastered, he could still forcibly absorb and convert it into his own power.
Following the advice of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen no longer pursued the speed of advancing but instead calmed himself to deeply understand the true intents of the powers on the ladders.
After an indeterminate amount of time when Lin Chen reached the seventeenth Heavenly Ladder, he had mastered the true intents of eight types of powers.
Additionally, during his third encounter with a Sea of Fire, Lin Chen didn’t hastily absorb the formidable flames but tried to understand an even deeper and more arcane power within them, and he succeeded. He successfully grasped the Fire Domain.
Added to the previously understood Wind Domain, Lin Chen now mastered two Domain powers.
It should be noted that even the strong ones in the Nirvana Realm could only master a few Domain powers, yet Lin Chen had already mastered two.
Having mastered these two Domain powers, Lin Chen leaped upwards and reached the eighteenth Heavenly Ladder.
Upon stepping on the eighteenth Heavenly Ladder, Lin Chen immediately felt the distribution of five types of powers - the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
At the same time, he noticed a familiar figure, currently somewhat embarrassed by the Five Elements’ power.
This person was Li Chu, who had entered these ruins a year before Lin Chen.
Facing the Five Elements’ power on the ladder, Li Chu didn’t release any of the Element powers to counteract but instead emitted an Yin Sha Qi from his body.
This blood-red Yin Sha Force continuously spread from Li Chu, turning into countless tendrils of blood-red energy, protecting him within, as Li Chu took the opportunity to move forward.
Seeing this terrifying Yin Sha Qi, Lin Chen was utterly shocked; he hadn’t expected Li Chu to have reached here using such methods.
Though somewhat opportunistic, Lin Chen had to admit that Li Chu’s Yin Sha Qi was extremely formidable.
However, it seemed that Li Chu’s Yin Sha Qi originated from his Bloodline Power.
Lin Chen knew Li Chu. In Desolate Sky City, Li Chu wasn’t equipped with such Bloodline Power, it appeared to have been bestowed upon him later in the Black Cloud Sect or the Red Soul Hall.
Now, although this Yin Sha Power could barely resist the power of the Five Elements on the ladder, it seemed Li Chu’s Bloodline Power was nearly depleted. Fresh chapters posted on novel-fire.ɴet
Unable to use his Spatial Treasure’s elixirs or absorb power from the ladder to replenish himself, it was a miracle that Li Chu had managed to get this far.
Currently, looking at Li Chu, although his source of Yin Sha Power was nearly depleted, Lin Chen didn’t think Li Chu was easy to deal with.
On the contrary, he sensed a very dangerous aura from Li Chu; this fellow, only at the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, was even more formidable and intimidating than any Peak Heavenly Human Realm experts Lin Chen had encountered.
