Chapter 621: Chapter 326: Opportunities on the Trial Heavenly Stair_2

Retracting his gaze from the bright moon, Lu Yun took a long, deep breath, and with great difficulty, lifted his right foot.

On the Trial Heavenly Stairs, the oppressive force and snowstorm grew slightly stronger with each adjacent step.

Besides that, there were other rules as well.

From the 99th step to the 100th, from the 199th to the 200th, and from the 899th to the 900th, the oppressive force would significantly intensify, causing a sensation of shattering and tearing.

If one successfully withstood and crossed this threshold, their physical strength would recover to a certain extent, making it possible to continue climbing.

Of course, the most potent increase in oppressive force happened when ascending from the 999th to the 1000th step.

Many people were unable to endure the skyrocketing pressure there and rolled down the Trial Heavenly Stairs, ultimately being expelled from the Trial Space.

Boom!

Stepping onto the 2000th step, half of Lu Yun’s body on it, he could clearly feel the blasting increase in oppressive force and the furious snowstorm.

If the pressure on the 1999th step was like an unending river, then the pressure on the 2000th step was like a turbulent sea, ruthlessly pounding against the half of Lu Yun’s body that was on it.

A glint of determination flashed in Lu Yun’s eyes. Bracing himself against the intense pain, he pushed himself forcefully, and his entire body finally ascended the 2000th step.

With a thunderous roar, the oppression felt like waves crashing against him, as the harsh wind screamed. Lu Yun in this middle of all this was like a tiny boat in a vast sea, swaying back and forth.

However, at this moment, a force began to revive within his body, fighting against these waves of pressure.

The more it resisted, the faster it recovered.

Once he firmly stood on the 2000th step, Lu Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and quietly sensed the differences of this place.

As he had envisioned, this place indeed was the second opportunity site on the Trial Heavenly Stairs.

The energy here was particularly intense, even more than on the 1000th step. In just a single breath, two of the elephant microparticles within his body awakened.

This thrilled Lu Yun, and he immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot.

On the 1000th step, a thousand of his elephant microparticles had revived.

He was eager to see how many more elephant microparticles could be revived here.

As the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength circulated, the mysterious force was absorbed and transformed, reviving the elephant microparticles within him one by one. The mighty elephants constantly trumpeted, releasing an indomitable spirit.

Lu Yun remained calm, immersing himself in this rapidly intensifying state.

At this moment, many individuals had already been eliminated on the Trial Heavenly Stairs.

Some had reached their physical limits.

Others couldn’t resist the sudden surge in oppressive force.

And there were those who had hurried their climb too much.

Nangong Rui, panting heavily, his face pale, grit his teeth as he managed to cross several more steps. He reached the 2899th stair, but finally could not bear it anymore, sitting down. He stared forward with a somewhat calm expression.

“After years of hardening in the Demon Suppression Army, my determination far exceeds that of others of my rank. After countless breakthroughs, my physical strength has almost recovered half…

If things go at this pace, I will only be able to reach a little past the 3000th step. Adding in my performance from the first stage, it’s impossible for me to become an outer sect disciple of the Green Flame Palace…” Upon thinking this, a bitter smile appeared on Nangong Rui’s face.

Here he was, at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, a mighty individual at the top of the pyramid in the Desolate Origin World. But entering the Green Flame Palace, he was reduced to just a Servant Disciple.

Soon, a look of determination appeared in his eyes again.

“Even if I cannot become an Outer Sect Disciple, I will persist on the Trial Heavenly Stairs as much as I can.”

Gongsun Zhonghong was panting heavily. As he climbed, he maintained a regular breathing rhythm. He managed to remain in the first rank.

When taking occasional breaks, he would open the ranking list of the Trial Heavenly Stairs to check on Lu Yun and Nangong Rui’s situation.

Nangong Rui’s performance on the Trial Heavenly Stairs was consistent with his performance in the first stage of the trial, holding a ranking around five to six thousand.

On the other hand, Lu Yun’s performance was somewhat disappointing. Apart from initially ranking within a hundred, he had since fallen outside of the top ten thousand.

“Junior Brother Lu is known for his strong physical strength and has cultivated a Body Cultivation Holy Method to Entry Level. He should have great advantage on the Trial Heavenly Stairs. Even if he doesn’t make the top ten, he shouldn’t fall out of the top hundred…”

Gongsun Zhonghong looked thoughtful, “Perhaps Junior Brother Lu has other plans.”

As he was pondering, Lu Yun, who was cultivating on the two-thousandth step, suddenly opened his eyes.

“Another two thousand Elephant Microparticles have been revived, twice as many as before.” Lu Yun’s eyes were sparkling, and his face was full of satisfaction. He slowly stood up and glanced at the Trial Heavenly Stair that was shrouded in snow ahead. A flash of light passed through his eyes.

“The next target…” Lu Yun lifted his right foot, under the silver moonshine, in the dead of night, he began his charge.

The revived physical strength enabled Lu Yun to better confront the oppressive force and the snow. When he stepped on the two-thousand-and-one-hundredth step, he was unstoppable.

Bathed in moonlight, he faced the biting wind and snow, drawing his sword suddenly. Lu Yun took a step forward again and again.

The two-thousand-and-one step, the two-thousand-and-two step, the…

The oppressive force of the Trial Heavenly Stair and the oncoming snow were increasing step by step, but never able to deter Lu Yun.

“He’s moving.”

Gongsun Zhonghong, resting on the three-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-ninth step, shifted his gaze.

He saw Lu Yun’s ranking constantly rising at a very fast pace.

Forty three thousand two hundred and ten, Forty one thousand three hundred and fifteen, Thirty nine thousand three hundred.

Almost flying up, in just a moment, he had rushed into the top ten thousand and was still continuously rising.

“It seems Junior Brother Lun indeed has other intentions.”

Turning off the Trial Heavenly Stair rankings, Gongsun Zhonghong took a deep breath and resumed climbing.

The further he went, the more terrifying the pressure on the Trial Heavenly Stair. He had to give it his all.

At least, he couldn’t lag too far behind the few leading figures.

Many people had already fallen from the Trial Heavenly Stair and appeared in the central square.

Knowing they had no chance with the Outer Sect Disciples, their minds completely relaxed, and they started paying attention to the performance of other Heavenly Prides.

“Four thousand five hundred sixty-eight… Four thousand five hundred seventy-one… Four thousand five hundred eighty-five… Even Zhang Henshui’s perseverance and physical strength is so terrifying, he is ranked first in the second stage trial, leaving the second place far behind!”

“Also, Ye Wang has actually surpassed Yuan Fei, entering second place. I remember he was only ranked over eight hundred in the first stage trial. He must be trying to catch up in this Trial Heavenly Stair.”

The millions of people in the square were all paying attention to the Trial Heavenly Stair ranking at this moment.

“I wonder how many of these kids will eventually discover the secrets of the Trial Heavenly Stair.” The man in the green robe looked at the changing leaderboard in front of him, and slowly spoke.

“In order to achieve better results, they are all busy climbing the Trial Heavenly Stair, I’m afraid it’s hard to discover the opportunities in it.” Heng Chong Dominator spoke calmly, smiling faintly. “Although these are only some slight opportunities, they are of great benefit to them.”

The man in the green robe smiled and didn’t mention it again. To him, this is just a trivial matter.

If it weren’t for Zhang Henshui, he would have left long ago and wouldn’t waste his time in such a trivial Entry Level trial.

With a slight motion of his palm, he opened a scene in front of him.

At present, on the Trial Heavenly Stair, Zhang Henshui looked determined. He brushed away the sweat on his forehead and took one step forward at a time.

Despite each step was extremely difficult, he had no hesitation. Eventually, he reached the Four-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-step rest stop and sat down cross-legged to recover.

“Every thousand steps is a big checkpoint. Although I haven’t reached my limit yet, I have to be extremely careful when crossing these checkpoints. Otherwise, I won’t be qualified to climb further up, and I will lose this opportunity to enhance my control of strength.” Deep satisfaction was reflected in his cold eyes.

On the Trial Heavenly Stair, his physical form and realm were suppressed. Under the strong pressure, his control over his body became more refined.

From the moment he stepped onto the Trial Heavenly Stair, his only focus was this.

As for that ranking, he had never spared a thought to pay attention to it.

Because, in his eyes, only constant self-surpassing is the right way.

Everything else is irrelevant.

When he stopped at the four-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine step, another man took a step and reached the three-thousandth step.
