Chapter 2014. Golden Opportunity! (1/2)

“There is a total of 999 stone steps, and every 100 steps represents 10% of my power! Throughout the ages, no Grand Empyrean could ascend to the 600th step under my will.

“The person who reached the furthest was a Grand Empyrean named Dong Lin from the celestial clan. He failed to reach the 600th step, and after leaving someone behind, I allowed him to leave.

“As for you… Let me see how many steps you can reach!” An extremely indifferent voice echoed when Wang Lin’s foot landed on the 100th step.

When the voice finished, the staircase that seemed to have turned into a dragon revealed its true shape. It was a real dragon. Its body was completely black and it let out a roar after it appeared. It charged directly at Wang Lin.

A fishy smell with a stench rushed toward Wang Lin in an attempt to stop him on the 100th step. The dragon closed in instantly!

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. Although his face was pale, he didn’t flinch. He looked up and his right hand reached at the void. The Grand Empyrean sun outline behind him shrank a bit and black and white light gathered in his hand. It was a strange scene.

The palm of Wang Lin’s right hand was white and the back of his palm was black. When the dragon closed in, his palm pressed down and touched the dragon.

Thunderous rumbles suddenly echoed. The dragon trembled and let out a miserable scream. Its head collapsed, and the collapse spread rapidly. The entire dragon disintegrated into ashes and disappeared.

At the same time, the steps going up the mountain returned to normal and were no longer twisted. It was as if everything Wang Lin had seen earlier was just an illusion.

Wang Lin coughed out a mouthful of blood. The moment he destroyed the dragon, his right hand also dissipated as if it had disappeared into thin air. Afterward, black gas gathered in its place and a new arm was formed!

However, his right foot had also touched the dragon, and he felt like he had been hit by countless mountains. His right foot rose up and began to fall toward the 99th step behind him.

If it landed, it meant that he could not step onto the 100th step!

Just as this right foot was about to land, Wang Lin let out a roar and popping sounds echoed. He used his Ancient clan body to resist the force. His right foot suddenly changed directions before it landed.

However, it did not land on the 99th step, but the 100th step!

Wang Lin took a deep breath. He faintly felt that after he stepped onto the 100th step, his ancient and celestial powers showed a sign of fusing. This phenomenon shocked Wang Lin.

As he pondered, he raised his foot and stepped forward once more. He was not very fast and only crossed 10 steps each time. However, every step he took made Mount Gu Dao rumble.

After the 100th step, the pressure from the mountain and Gu Dao doubled. Wang Lin felt like the pressure was almost unbearable, and when he reached the 150th step, he could not help but stop there.

At the top of the mountain, Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin from the top of the tower and his heart ached. He had made up his mind. Once Wang Lin failed, he would risk offending Grand Empyrean Gu Dao and take Wang Lin away!

“He was brought here by me and came to the Ancient clan because of me. I must take him away!”Xuan Luo silently pondered.

“If he can’t pass the 200th step, Xuo Luo, leave your disciple behind.” The blurry figure inside the fog behind Xuan Luo spoke these cold words.

But before Xuan Luo could speak, Wang Lin let out a roar and the Grand Empyrean sun outline behind him rapidly shrank.

As it shrank, Wang Lin suddenly looked up and stepped forward. He stepped onto the 160th step.

Without pausing, he stepped forward once more. The Grand Empyrean sun outline behind him continued to shrink as if infinite power had entered Wang Lin’s body. Wang Lin stepped onto the 170th step, 180th step, 190th step, and finally, when the Grand Empyrean sun outline had shrank to its limit and disappeared, Wang Lin made it to the 200th step!

The moment his foot landed, the figure inside the fog at the top of the tower exclaimed softly.

And Xuan Luo’s eyes lit up and he revealed a smile for the first time.

The blurry figure slowly said, “He has burned the power of the Grand Empyrean sun to obtain the power to reach the 200th step. However, what will he use for the last 100 steps.”

The moment Wang Lin’s foot landed on the 200th step, the person sitting on the northern pillar of the four pillars around the tower suddenly opened his closed eyes. There was a flash of grey light and he disappeared without a trace.

When he reappeared, he was on the staircase and walked toward Wang Lin. He waved his hand and his face revealed no expression, as if he was wearing a human mask. He pointed toward Wang Lin!
