Chapter 1986
byThe sudden scene made everyone stunned on the spot.
After a long while, someone suddenly shouted: “Don’t retreat. Once you retreat, you will touch the ban and die on the spot. Everyone be careful!”
“Dammit, this is a trap！”
“Damned Star God Palace…”
“I… What should I do?”
Many people with not high strength who coveted the treasures actually blamed the Star God Palace under the dilemma of advancing or retreating at this moment, as if this was a trap set by the Star God Palace against them.
In this situation now, the more you move forward, the more ferocious the pressure of the dragon might you have to bear. If you are not careful, you will die with your head exploding. The tragic deaths of some martial artists before are the best examples. But even if they have the intention to leave, they can no longer retreat. The more than thirty corpses that just fell are the lessons from the past.
With such a situation, some martial artists really can neither advance nor retreat, and for a while, they are frozen in place.
But after all, not all of them. Those real powerhouses with strength and confidence in themselves are still advancing towards the Ascending Dragon Altar step by step against the pressure of the dragon might, their eyes hotly locking on the dozen or so unknown things placed on the altar. Every step they take seems extremely difficult, but after taking that step, they are all, as if they have gained something.
Wealth and honor come from danger. This is a truth known to everyone. Among the martial artists here, which one is not a person who has experienced many life and death hardships? The temperaments of most of them are extremely firm.
What’s more, not to mention whether they can snatch the dozen or so unknown treasures just the benefits obtained in the process of walking towards the Ascending Dragon Altar have made these martial artists ecstatic.
Every time those martial artists took a step forward, they could feel that their disposition and perseverance had increased a lot. Even under the oppression of that supreme dragon might, the power within the bodies of many Void King Realm martial artists was rapidly transforming into source energy.
The speed of this transformation was by no means comparable to that of taking Source Condensing Pills.
Yang Kai naturally also discovered this.
Actually, he could completely ignore the oppression of the dragon might from the Rising Dragon Platform. After all, he had the origin power of the Golden Saint Dragon in his body. Although the Rising Dragon Platform was made of dragon bones and naturally carried supreme dragon might, in the face of the origin power of the Golden Saint Dragon, the oppression of this dragon might still couldn’t play the slightest role.
It was rumored that in ancient times, there were countless members of the True Dragon Clan. But within this clan, the suppression of bloodline rank was very obvious. The Golden Saint Dragon had an extremely high status within the True Dragon Clan. And judging from the vision that appeared on the Rising Dragon Platform before the dragon bone used to build the Rising Dragon Platform might be the bone of a Fire Dragon. Because the True Dragon that appeared was a red giant dragon.
Red Dragons generally used fire attribute power.
The origin power of the Golden Saint Dragon was sufficient to completely suppress the dragon might from the Rising Dragon Platform and prevent it from approaching within three zhang of Yang Kai’s body.
When Yang Kai discovered this, he even had the thought of rushing over and snatching the dozen or so treasures on the altar first.
But after careful consideration, he still didn’t act so rashly.
After all, there were hundreds of Void King Realm martial artists here. Not to mention whether he could escape the pursuit and siege of these people after snatching the treasures, even if he succeeded, it would probably be a trouble after leaving the Five-Colored Treasure Pagoda.
Once the people outside learned that he had obtained so many benefits on the Ascending Dragon Altar, he would probably become the target of public criticism.
An ordinary man is innocent, but he is guilty because he holds a jade. Yang Kai didn’t believe that those Dao Source Realm martial artists wouldn’t covet the treasures from the Ascending Dragon Altar. If he was really targeted by the Dao Source Realm, his future days wouldn’t be easy.
So he didn’t do that.
At this moment, he was among the crowd, step by step approaching the Ascending Dragon Altar, relying on the oppression of the supreme dragon might to transform the source power in his body. At the same time, he still had the leisure to observe the surroundings and see the situation of others.
Soon, many powerful Void King Realm martial artists were silently remembered by Yang Kai in his heart.
These people, undoubtedly, were all existences whose source power had been completely transformed. When they resisted the oppression of the dragon might, they were much easier than others, so their advancing speed was relatively fast. They already had a certain distance from the people behind.
Yang Kai slightly accelerated his pace, and at the same time, he was thinking in his mind about how to take away those treasures without anyone noticing.
Just as he was lost in thought, a gnashing of teeth voice came from the side: “How dare you surpass this young master, go to hell!”
As soon as the word’sǐ’ (death) was leisurely uttered, a palm print came attacked towards Yang Kai. Within the palm print the whistling and sharp wind sound was reported that seemingly containing extremely great destructive power.
Yang Kai’s complexion sank, and he instantly raised his hand, Youdaoplaceholder0 into the palm and patting towards the opponent’s palm print.
Pā…
A soft sound rang out, and immediately after, two violent forces collided together, sweeping in all directions with great momentum.
Yang Kai’s body slightly shook and then there was no movement. Instead, the person who took the initiative to attack him let out a cry seemingly unable to withstand Yang Kai’s attack. His figure was unsteady and he was about to fly backwards.
This person’s complexion changed drastically and instantly became pale without a trace of blood.
After all, those martial artists who retreated backwards before were all killed on the spot by the Rising Dragon Platform. He wasn’t sure if he would have the same treatment if he was pushed back by someone.
If that was really the case, he didn’t have the confidence to withstand the attack from the Rising Dragon Platform.
With this thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and his body suddenly sank downward, as if nailed to the ground like a wooden stake.
He would rather let all the force rush his body and didn’t dare to move a single centimeter under his feet.
Pā pā pā…
A series of crackling sounds came from within this person’s body. With a pale complexion, blood oozed out from his mouth and nose and his appearance suddenly became ferocious and terrifying.
“Young Master！” someone shouted loudly, quickly stepped forward two steps, and stood behind this person, resolving the last trace of strength. Finally, this person stood firmly on the spot without retreating half a step.
Yang Kai looked back with a cold and sinister gaze, saw a familiar face, and couldn’t help but sneer： “So it’s Young Master Jiang…”
The person who launched a sneak attack on him was actually Jiang Chuhe who spoke before.
When Yang Kai first saw him just now, he still felt that this person had a handsome appearance and was gentle and refined, with a bit of the style and bearing of a young master. But later, after seeing through Jiang Chuhe’s intention to shift his attention to Qin Yu, Yang Kai understood that this person had a bad heart. Now it seems that he not only has a bad heart but also has no tolerance for others.
He is simply a hateful and despicable person！
The reason why he attacked himself was actually just because his speed was a little faster than his and exceeded him.
“Who are you？”
Jiang Chuhe suffered a great loss and almost suffered a fatal disaster. While hating Yang Kai in his heart, he was also extremely afraid. He completely didn’t expect that he couldn’t even fully receive one move in front of a Void King Realm martial artist.
And the situation just now was just a casual blow from the other party. If it was really a life-and-death battle, wouldn’t he not be an opponent at all？
Is this still a fucking human？ Jiang Chuhe was filled with fear and horror in his heart.
When did such a person appear in Fenglin City again？
“Ask me?” Yang Kai said with a sinister grin. “It’s just someone that Young Master Jiang can’t afford to offend.”
Seeing Yang Kai being so boastful, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Jiang Chuhe’s face. But upon further thought, the other party might come from some great power. After all, during this period of time, many powerful experts from various forces had gathered in Fenglin City.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuhe’s expression couldn’t help but flicker. He clasped his fists and said, “Just now it was Jiang who was offensive. Please don’t blame me, sir.”
“You still have some self-awareness. I’ll spare your life for now.” Yang Kai sneered coldly and didn’t tangle with Jiang Chuhe anymore. He turned around and continued to move forward.
Jiang Chuhe stared at his back, his face turning green and red for a while. On one hand, he had to suppress his injuries, and on the other hand, he had to resist that supreme dragon might. For a while, he was extremely hard-pressed.
At the very back of the crowd, Qin Yu was slowly walking with her many escorts. After all, her strength was really not high, and she couldn’t move forward as quickly as the others.
But precisely because of this, she was able to see that scene just now.
“This person… What’s his background？” Qin Yu’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly.
As a martial artist in Fenglin City, Qin Yu naturally knew what kind of cultivation Jiang Chuhe had. Although Jiang Chuhe’s talent was not considered very powerful, with the resource infusion of the Jiang family and his hard work in cultivation over the years, he had long since reached the peak of the Void King Third Layer Realm, and all of his strength had been converted into source power.
In other words, among the Void King Realm, although Jiang Chuhe wasn’t an invincible existence, he wasn’t someone who could be injured with a single strike either.
But someone managed to do it.
This not only surprised Qin Yu but also piqued her interest in Yang Kai.
“Miss, what’s wrong with that person？” One of the bodyguards couldn’t help but ask when he saw Qin Yu staring at Yang Kai all the time.
“Does anyone of you know that person and his background？” Qin Yu asked softly.
All the bodyguards kept shaking their heads, indicating that they had never seen Yang Kai before.
The bodyguard who spoke earlier said, “If the young lady wants to know, after we leave the Five-Colored Pagoda, this subordinate will send someone to inquire.”
Qin Yu nodded and said, “Remember, just inquire, and don’t offend him.”
“Yes.”
……
Near the Rising Dragon Platform, as time passed, the difference in strength among the crowd gradually became apparent. Although basically everyone was in the Void King Realm, and many were even at the Third-Order Void King Realm, under the test of the Rising Dragon Platform, the strength and weakness of each other were quickly compared.
Those with excellent xinxing, perseverance, and strength undoubtedly walked faster and farther.
The rest fell behind.
For a time, with the Rising Dragon Platform as the center, countless martial artists were divided into several levels, all is desperately getting closer to the center.
And among the first tier, there were actually over forty Void King Third Layer experts. The gap between them wasn’t too great either. It could be foreseen that if there were no accidents, these forty plus experts would undoubtedly be the first to reach the Rising Dragon Altar. As for the martial artists in the second tier, third tier, and even further behind, they already had little hope.
But they didn’t dare to retreat casually and court death. They could only bite the bullet and move forward.
During this period, more and more martial artists died suddenly because they couldn’t withstand the oppression of the dragon might. Within a radius of several dozen zhang around the Rising Dragon Altar, there were one or two hundred headless corpses lying in disorder, looking extremely tragic.
