Chapter 845: Stopped Working?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen actually wanted to continue climbing the stairs!
Could it be that this fellow really thought he could enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool with his own strength?
Ye Chen took a few more steps. These few steps had actually exhausted the true qi in his dantian, making him feel very uncomfortable. However, he knew very well that this was not his limit.
His true strength did not lie in his cultivation level, but in his trump cards.
Qiu Luocheng naturally noticed Ye Chen’s actions, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, the entire Heavenly Stairway shook.
Since his dantian shattered, he could not withstand the tremors, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Right now, he was almost half-dead, but he was unwilling to leave.
All of this had happened because of Ye Chen, so he wanted to see Ye Chen die!
At that moment, he noticed that Ye Chen had opened his eyes.
A bright light flashed, and it was as if a bolt of lightning had torn the sky apart!
Ye Chen’s aura had completely changed. In Qiu Luocheng’s eyes, he seemed to be as tall as a giant.
“Heavens, he’s reached the 35th step!”
“Doesn’t Ye Chen have mortal roots? How did he make it so high up the stairs?”
“Could it be that he faked having mortal roots and has a heaven-defying spiritual root?”
“Impossible. No one in the Kunlun Mountains has ever faked the test before. This kid must have mortal roots. As for why this happened, it’s very likely that he accidentally obtained some kind of opportunity!”
“If we get our hands on his secret, we will be even stronger than him!”
“Look, he is still going!”
Seeing that Ye Chen had taken another step forward, the crowd began to clamor again.
It was no longer important whether Ye Chen had mortal roots or not. Everyone wanted to know what Ye Chen’s limit was!
“Impossible! Illusion! It must be an illusion! How could this little b*stard get so far!! There’s no way that I am less talented than this little b*stard!”
Qiu Luocheng had a look of disbelief on his face.
He could not accept this!
With every step Ye Chen took, a cry of surprise came from below. Chaos reigned throughout Qianjue Plaza.
In their eyes, Ye Chen was an unsurpassable genius…
At least for this moment!
Before today, who would have thought that the useless person who was kicked off the arena five years ago would return in such glory?
Who would have thought that this kid would be able to crush a judge in terms of talent?
Ye Chen had used his actions to defy all expectations.
Mr. Jingshui was expressionless. He narrowed his eyes and said, “I underestimated this kid.”
“I wonder how a cultivator with mortal roots can withstand this pressure…”
“Could it be that this kid has some sort of secret?”
“That must be the case!”
He refused to believe that someone with mortal roots had any talent.
Ye Chen had to have some sort of treasure.
In any case, he and Ye Chen had completely fallen out, so hNaturally, he did not intend to let Ye Chen live.
Once the Dragon Cleansing Pool closed its doors again, he would wipe this guy from the face of the earth forever.
Since they were enemies, he would not let Ye Chen continue to grow
While he was thinking this, Mr. Jingshui was staring at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Ji Siqing noticed this, and was worried for Ye Chen.
It would be next to impossible for her to stop Mr. Jingshui.
‘It seems that Ye Chen must leave this place as soon as possible!’
She made up her mind.
At this moment, every step Ye Chen took was extremely strenuous.
When he reached the fortieth step, Ye Chen’s body trembled.
He could clearly feel mountain-like waves of pressure ravaging his body and consciousness, and he almost collapsed.
He had already used all of his powers.
He also used the Immortal Flames, divine lightning, and even the blood dragon’s power. It was almost impossible to proceed further.
Ye Chen endured the pain in his body and gritted his teeth.
He took another step forward, but eventually retreated, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at the distant mountain peak, and a sense of powerlessness actually arose in his heart.
What should he do? Was he really not fated to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool?
At this moment, Little Gold woke up from its slumber on his shoulder.
It rubbed its eyes and looked around. There was a hint of surprise in its eyes.
It was as if it had seen something delicious. Seconds later, something strange happened.
Little Gold opened its mouth, and Ye Chen suddenly realized that the pressure around it had disappeared!
His eyes were filled with shock. He looked down at Little Gold and instantly understood something.
Little Gold was not afraid of the pressure!
It seemed that Little Gold was actually eating the pressure left behind by these mighty experts, and its body began to glow faintly.
After a while, Little Gold seemed unsatisfied, and it tugged at Ye Chen’s clothes and pointed ahead.
It seemed to be urging Ye Chen to continue moving forward.
Ye Chen completely suppressed the shock in his heart. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile as he quickly walked toward the top of the mountain.
He took quick strides as Little Gold took big gulps!
Toward the end, he even seemed to be running!
The crowd below was in an uproar.
“My God, look, what is that kid doing?”
“Am I seeing things? Why is Ye Chen getting faster and faster?”
“It’s as if the pressure from the Heavenly Stairway has no effect on him at all!”
“Look! Why does he look like he’s fine?”
“Damn, he… He actually started running! F*ck!”
On the Heavenly Stairway, a figure was running up the stairs like it was an ordinary staircase. It was an absolutely shocking sight!
At the foot of the Heavenly Stairway, everyone’s eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.
In such a dangerous place, Ye Chen seemed to be completely at ease!
In fact, he made it seem as if the final half of the stairs was more difficult than the first!
Even if they had never climbed the Heavenly Stairway, they knew how terrifying it was!
Since ancient times, no one had ever reached the top of the mountain!
How was Ye Chen doing this?
At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to be emitting a dazzling light.
Down below, the crowd was now silent, and the atmosphere was solemn and respectful.
Now, who had the right to mock Ye Chen?
Those standing inside the circles of light were also stunned by what they were witnessing.
Was Ye Chen really ascending the same stairway as the others? Why did it look so ordinary?
What happened to the pressure?
Ji Siqing reached out and covered her mouth to keep herself from gasping.
She knew better than anyone how terrifying the pressure on the Heavenly Stairway was.
How could Ye Chen be so relaxed? How could he be running?
Not to mention Ye Chen, even she or some of the sect masters of the Kunlun Mountains could not do this.
How did Ye Chen do it?
For the first time, shock appeared in Mr. Jingshui’s eyes.
“How is that possible? Did the Heavenly Stairway stop working?”
Just as countless people were puzzled, Qiu Luocheng, whose dantian was crippled, suddenly shouted, “The pressure on the Heavenly Stairway is gone! There is no pressure at all! The Heavenly Stairway has stopped working! Haha!”
After all, Little Gold had devoured all of the pressure left behind by the mighty experts, which made it possible for him to stay there without being thrown out.
Mister Jingshui’s expression changed drastically. He flew up and instantly arrived at the Heavenly Stairway.
He closed his eyes and began to sense his surroundings. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and a cold light flashed.”As expected, the pressure is gone! Could it be that the mountain had lost its spirituality after so long? That kid was really lucky!”
All his doubts were resolved. After all, this was the only explanation that made sense.
Mr. Jingshui looked up at the top of the mountain and realized that Ye Chen was about to reach the top. His expression grew more and more unsightly. He quickly formed a seal with his fingers, and the circles of light under the feet of those who had advanced lit up!
