Chapter 736 (1/2)

Chapter 736: 736

The four of them were miserably blown back to the 998th stair . They were wildly vomiting blood and filled with horror .

They hastily circulated their Heavenly Dao runes to heal . Just now, they had been the slightest bit away from being completely crushed . In that instant, they had smelled the scent of death . It was like the Grim Reaper's sickle had brushed right up against their throats .

The Xuantian Dao Sect’s experts were all shocked . They had never expected this situation .

This was the Eastern Wasteland’s Xuantian Branch Sect’s strongest batch of geniuses in all of history . But they were all stopped in front of the 999th stair .

Although the experts were still far away, they had sensed just how terrifying that killing mechanism was . Even they felt a chill .

“Is it trying to force them into despair? Why does the trial refuse to allow them to pa.s.s even though they’ve reached that point?” complained one monastery head .

“What is going on? Has something happened with the 999th stair? In previous generations, weren’t there disciples who managed to reach the 999th stair? Why can’t I remember anything from then?” questioned one of the older experts .

“That’s because the memories regarding the final stair have all been erased . All of you are the same . Once this trial is over, the memories about the final part will disappear,” said the vice sect master .

Their hearts shook . It was no wonder they clearly remembered that there had been disciples to reach the 999th stair, but when they tried to recall that scene, they weren’t able to recall it in the slightest .

Whether it was the Xuantian Sea, the Nine Netherworld Path, or the Netherworld Heaven Staircase, they were all activated by the head sect . Even they didn’t have the qualifications to interfere .

If they tried, the laws here would immediately kill them . Even the vice sect master wasn’t an exception .

“But, this abnormal difficulty isn’t even a trial, it’s just murder!” cried a monastery head .

A single flying sword had the power to kill a Celestial . Just now, tens of thousands of them had shot out at the same time, almost killing the four of them . It was lucky they had brought out their strongest defense beforehand, or they would have already died .

“This is a trial . It shouldn’t kill our elite disciples . There should be some unknown method to pa.s.s!” The vice sect master frowned . Although that was what he said, even he wasn’t sure .

Furthermore, the Netherworld Heaven Staircase had its own laws . There was no way for them to transmit their voices to the disciples on it .

BOOM!

The Netherworld Heaven Staircase shook everyone . Everyone jumped, thinking the Four Heavenly Geniuses had attempted to attack the 999th stair again .

However, they found out that the four of them hadn’t moved . They were still healing . This rumbling was from a certain figure stepping onto the 998th stair .

“It’s Long Chen!”

“Heavens, he really is not using any technique! He’s crazy!”

There were no fluctuations coming from Long Chen’s body . He was clearly using just the power of his physical body .

It had to be known that the Four Heavenly Geniuses had had to use their full strength to just barely reach the 998th stair .

“Is he stupid? Is this worth it? He’ll be directly crushed to death by the pressure!”

“What is his reason? Does he really need to care so much about his face?”

None of them knew that it wasn’t the case of him caring so much about his face, but that he really had no other option . The divine ring would only bring him down .

As for the Three Star Battle Armor, it was connected to the divine ring . The principle was the same, and once he activated it, although his power would multiply, the pressure would also be absorbed . It wasn’t worth it .

His previous words were just to give himself an excuse, to make others think he was posing . It was to conceal the bitter truth .

He was already doing his absolute best . One foot was just barely on the edge of the 998th stair, but the surrounding pressure crashed down upon him .

He was like a small boat trying to stay afloat on wild waves . He might capsize at any moment .

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had already stopped at the 900th stair . They had reached their limit . Although their wills were strong enough, their physical bodies were unable to continue .

They watched Long Chen attentively . Gu Yang and the others were right behind them . They had also reached the 900th stair .

“Boss really is boss . He’s too strong . ” Gu Yang couldn’t help sighing . Even against rank two Celestials, he didn’t rely on any outer force and still reached the same level .
