Chapter 138

In the crowd, Lan Chudie’s whole body was purple, shivering with cold, but there was an unyielding will in her beautiful eyes. This kind of look was very similar to Yang Kai’s in some cases, but her gaze had an extra share of coldness and less fierceness.

“Failed?” Lan Chudie’s heart was bitter. With her strength at the eighth level of the pneumatic Jing she climbed more than three thousand levels. This kind of achievement was unique among the disciples of the three sects.

What she relied on was precisely the unyielding in her heart and the obsession to become stronger.

But now, she was sent down by an irresistible force. How could she be willing？

Why is this happening？ As long as I’m given enough time, I will definitely reach the summit. Why was I sent out？ Lan Chudie tightly clenched her hands, and her long and slender fingernails even penetrated into the palm flesh.

Only the pain could make her mood calm down a little.

“This junior sister, are you okay？” Hu Jiao’er noticed the abnormality of Lan Chudie and asked with concern.

Lan Chudie slowly shook her head, and a tear of unwillingness slipped from her lowered eyelids.

Yang Kai had been moving forward. There was only the summit in the clouds in his eyes. He didn’t notice what happened to the Hu sisters behind him.

There was no need to worry about others anymore, and Yang Kai’s speed suddenly increased.

This place was the position where the cold-attribute energy impacted. He quickly stepped forward step by step, almost without stopping. The cold-attribute energy entered his body, and under the refinement of the True Yang Art, it was absorbed by the Proud Bone Golden Body after a Sunday.

After walking through five hundred floors, the energy changed, and Yang Kai’s steps became even faster.

The cold-attribute energy entering the body still needed to be resolved, but the yang-attribute energy was only absorbed, and the process was even simpler.

He walked step by step and climbed layer by layer, getting closer and closer to the position of the clouds.

But with it was also that his own pressure became stronger and stronger. Every time he walked through a flight of stairs the energy rushing into his body would increase a lot.

If not for Yang Kai’s cultivation method being on the right track and the fact that he had stored so much Yang Liquid in his dantian, he wouldn’t have been able to be so calm and composed.

As he went higher and higher, Yang Kai felt vaguely that something was amiss.

This kind of test was indeed getting more and more difficult. But it wasn’t to the extent that it would stop people. If it was really a test for inheritance, it shouldn’t be this simple.

After thinking for a while, Yang Kai’s mind moved. He unsealed the Earth Demon that was sealed in his body. the Earth Demon had been making a lot of noise, single-mindedly bewitch Yang Kai to use the virgin bodies of the Hu sisters to cultivate evil martial arts. Yang Kai was furious and sealed his soul until now.

Sure enough, the Earth Demon didn’t dare to mention that matter again. Yang Kai told his doubts in his heart, and the Earth Demon couldn’t say why either.

To avoid him making more noise and affecting his state of mind, after asking, Yang Kai sealed him up again.

No matter what kind of test there was, as long as he reached that step, he could naturally face it. There was no point in thinking too much now.

Understanding this, Yang Kai’s heart suddenly relaxed, and even his body became much easier. As if with the change of his state of mind just now, the test here had also become simpler.

Day after day of climbing, when Yang Kai had rested three times. He finally reached the topmost position.

The surroundings were filled with clouds and mist, as if one was in a fairyland. Looking back, all the steps along the way came into view. The ethereal scene suddenly gave Yang Kai a dreamlike feeling.

In front of him, there were only the last ten steps left. As long as he walked these ten steps, he could reach the summit.

He raised his foot and stepped upwards.

Nine floors, eight floors, seven floors…

In Yang Kai’s mind, the joy of the first few days and the firmness of the last few days along the way came back to him.

Six floors, five floors, four floors…

His memory traced back further, and Yang Kai thought of the changes in himself after obtaining the Nameless Black Book.

Three floors, two floors…

The scene from three years ago also emerged, causing Yang Kai’s calm disposition to involuntarily stir up some waves.

Yang Kai’s raised foot was in the air above the last step, frozen there.

Just one last step was needed to reach the clouds.

However, Yang Kai didn’t dare to step down.

He couldn’t tell why, but he always felt that if he still maintained such a disposition, if he stepped down with this foot, he would either die or be seriously injured！

This was an intuition.

Taking a deep breath, silently operating the True Yang Art Yang Kai remained in this position without moving. Feeling the breeze blowing on his face, feeling the waves in his heart slowly subside, and the bits and pieces in his memory calm down again.

I don’t know how much time has passed. When Yang Kai opened his eyes again, there was no hesitation or fear in those eyes, only firmness.

He stepped down with one foot.

The heaven and earth buzzed, and an invisible pressure suddenly descended on Yang Kai. This was a kind of coercion, a coercion like that of a king ruling the world.

Yang Kai’s body suddenly shrank, and his legs bent, almost kneeling on the ground. But just when his knee was still half a foot away from the ground, he stopped his body.

Sweat instantly soaked his clothes, and all the flesh on his body was ferociously twitching, trembling and wriggling. This coercion was actually not much worse than the pressure of the heaven and earth he felt when he was practicing the Body Tempering Chapter.

However, there was a lack of some charm in it. If really compared, the feeling when practicing the Body Tempering Chapter was even stronger than this moment. That was the resistance to the restraint of the heaven and earth, and what he was facing now was the pressure of a powerful person.

In the dark, Yang Kai felt as if an eye in the sky slowly opened and was looking at him.

The bent body slowly straightened up. The blue veins on Yang Kai’s forehead bulged, and his face turned red. As he resisted, the pressure he felt became stronger and stronger.

A muffled groan came out, and the taste of blood filled his mouth. Yang Kai had already suffered some internal injuries in his body.

“I can withstand the might of heaven and earth, let alone, you are not heaven and earth！” Yang Kai gritted his teeth, his bones creaking, and slowly raised the other foot, moving little by little, approaching the last step.

As if it was just an instant, as if it was also thousands of years, when Yang Kai finally managed to step both feet on the last step with great difficulty, his body finally straightened up.

The pressure on his whole body suddenly lightened, and at this moment, Yang Kai broke through that invisible bondage！

The huge energy in the air poured fiercely into Yang Kai’s body, and the Yuan Qi in his body surged continuously. After a while, Yang Kai wiped the corner of his mouth with a hehe smile.

Open Heaven Realm, 8th Layer！

Walking through these endless steps actually allowed his strength to break through one level of realm. It’s not a total loss.

Looking up again, Yang Kai saw the palace hidden in the clouds.

But below the palace, there were still layers of steps.

However, the number of these steps was not as many as those he had walked before. With a single glance, Yang Kai knew that there were only a hundred of them.

“The second test？” Yang Kai muttered to himself.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward.

When he stepped on the first step, a scorching sun-attribute energy out of thin appeared beside Yang Kai. This energy was like ared silk thread visible to the naked eye.

Yang Kai’s expression was one of surprise and suspicion as he reached out and grabbed it.

He circulated the True Yang Secret Art and directly absorbed it.

“Strange！” Yang Kai couldn’t quite figure it out. If the second test was like this, wasn’t it just adding unnecessary complications？

He had already experienced this countless times in the previous few days. It was just that a few days ago, the energy had rushed to the soles of his feet, while this time it was floating in front of his eyes. There wasn’t much difference.

He didn’t bother to delve deeper because Yang Kai couldn’t see any clues for the time being.

He still walked upwards step by step. Every time he passed a step, a strand of Yang Attribute energy would appear beside him. Yang Kai absorbed them all along the way and turned them into his own.

The hundred steps had actually added two more drops of Yang Liquid to his Dantian.

It was only when he stepped onto the ninety-ninth step that Yang Kai noticed something was wrong. On the hundredth step, there was an ice barrier that blocked his way.

He reached out and touched it. It was extremely cold, and this coldness also had a strange feeling. Even his True Yang Secret Art couldn’t easily resolve it.

Even more strangely, when Yang Kai’s hand touched this ice barrier, the Yang Qi that he had absorbed from the previous hundred steps unexpectedly surged out of his Dantian uncontrollably and directly dissipated into the air.

The next moment, Yang Kai’s eyes blurred. When he regained his senses, he had already come to the bottom of the first step.

Frowning tightly, looking up, those were indeed the hundred steps he had just walked.

But why did he come down again？ Was the ice barrier on the hundredth step the difficulty of this test？

If so, it meant that he had to break this ice barrier to pass this test.

How to break it? Yang Qi should be the nemity of this ice barrier. Perhaps he could give it a try.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Kai took a step again and walked through those hundred steps as before.

Still, a line of Yang Attribute energy appeared on each step, and Yang Kai took them all in. Soon, he came to the front of the ice barrier again.

Taking a deep breath, clenching his fist, and circulating Yuan Qi, he directly launched a Flaming Sun Blast.

With a loud boom, the fierce Yuan Qi poured into the ice barrier, like a stone sinking into the sea, without raising the slightest ripple.

Instead, Yang Kai was sent down again, and the just-absorbed energy also turned into ninety-nine lines and dissipated without a trace.

His Flaming Sun Blast didn’t work. Even if he used the Star Mark, he might not be able to break this ice barrier. So where was the key？

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, and couldn’t help but have a clear understanding in his heart.

For the third test, Yang Kai would stay for a long time on each step he walked, holding the thread-like energy that appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He didn’t absorb it anymore, just holding it like this.

As the number of floors increased, the red threads in his hand became more and more numerous and violent, and even faintly burned Yang Kai’s hand.

For a warrior who cultivated the True Yang Art, this was very incredible, but in fact these Yang Qi were just so strange. If he didn’t absorb them, they would riot and attack Yang Kai all the time.

Enduring the pain in his hand, Yang Kai remained silent.

Strangely, as time passed, these Yang Qi that were held in his hand gradually calmed down, as if they had found their destination, no longer struggling, no longer resisting, and no longer attacking.

With a smile on his lips, Yang Kai felt that he should have found the right way.

As the number of floors increased, the Yang Qi gathered in Yang Kai’s hand had seemingly formed a fireball, but even so Yang Kai was no longer injured.

Standing in front of the ninety-ninth floor again, Yang Kai gently sent the fireball in his hand into the ice barrier in front of him.

This time, Yang Kai was not sent down again.

The ice barrier that had absorbed these Yang Qi let out a series of crackling sounds, and then, like a mirror, it cracked countless gaps and scattered with a crash, presenting the magnificent and glorious palace in front of Yang Kai.

The path was unblocked！
