C210 One Step after Another He Ascended to the Heavens

"Survival exists only in the Immortal World. Outside the Immortal World, there was an even wider world. However, it was impossible to leave this place without becoming a Great Emperor. Furthermore, once you ascend to the throne, you will not be able to stay in the Immortal World for long.

Without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Immortal World, the Great Emperor no longer possesses limitless lifespan. At most, he will have 100,000 years of lifespan.

Sun Yuan's words made Li Yi and Zhao Zilong understand. No wonder why Emperors didn't even have longevity, but Emperors had longevity restrictions. So that was the reason. But, why did they have to leave the Immortal World just because they became Emperors? He was already an emperor. As a supreme existence, what kind of power could force them to submit?

"I'm not too sure about this either. It seems like the emperors have chosen to leave voluntarily. I'm not sure about the specific reason. Perhaps, we'll only understand it after we reach that level!"

Sun Yuan scratched his head. He didn't know the reason behind the Emperors leaving the Immortal World. If Emperor Wukong wasn't the ancestor of his Fighting Ape Clan, he might not even know about these things.

"Brother Sun is right. When we reach that level, we will naturally understand. Our mission now is to climb these 108 steps and obtain the chaos seeds!"

Li Yi waved his hand, halting the discussion about the lifespan of the Great Emperor and looking at the Path to Heaven. His whole body was surging with fighting spirit.

"That's right. Now I should think about how to climb these stairs. But I was just about to jump onto the 10th step when I was thrown down. How can I climb these 108 steps?"

Zhao Zilong looked at the short staircase and smiled bitterly.

"You were too impatient just now and charged to the tenth floor. The pressure of the first ten floors suddenly pressed down on you and naturally sent you flying. We will slowly climb layer by layer and adapt to the pressure on the first floor before going up to the next floor."

Li Yi smiled. It was obviously impossible to climb up like Zhao Zilong had done before. He had to do it slowly.

"Let's go, let's see what level we can reach!"

With that, Li Yi took the first step and stepped onto the first step.

"Ugh!"

As soon as he stepped onto the first step, he felt an enormous pressure pressing down on him. It wasn't just a physical pressure, but also a heavy pressure on his soul.

Li Yi's body shook a little, but he still managed to withstand the pressure. He turned his head to look at Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan and said, "The pressure is indeed not small, but it can still be endured. Zi Long, Brother Sun, come up as well!"

Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan nodded and stepped onto the first step of the first step as well. Their bodies also flashed before stabilizing again.

If there was such a huge pressure on the first level, it would be strange if Zhao Zilong wasn't sent flying from the terrifying pressure that had formed when he crossed ten levels earlier.

Li Yi and the other two didn't continue to climb up with tacit understanding. Instead, they closed their eyes and started to circulate their cultivation techniques to get used to the pressure.

Li Yi had said before that this was the best environment for tempering the body and the soul. As long as they could completely adapt to this dual pressure on their physical body and the soul, once they got used to it, their physical body and the soul would be able to further improve.

A few hours later, Li Yi opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed across his eyes. He had already completely adapted to this pressure, and now, he could almost no longer feel the existence of this pressure.

This kind of heavy pressure did indeed have a distinct effect on the body and the soul. Li Yi could clearly feel that the strength of his body and the strength of his spirit, which had already reached the limit, had increased a little. Although it wasn't much, it had already broken past the previous limit.

At this moment, Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan also opened their eyes. They couldn't conceal the smile on their faces. It seemed that they had improved quite a bit. The three of them looked at each other and smiled before stepping onto the second step.

"Ugh!"

This time, the pressure was a full two times greater than on the first step. Luckily, Li Yi and the other two had already adapted to the pressure on the first step. However, they regained their balance and continued to circulate their cultivation techniques.

Just like this, the three of them got used to the pressure every time they stepped onto the first floor. After half a month, the three of them had already reached the 80th floor.

In the past half month, although their cultivation base hadn't increased due to lack of spiritual energy, the strength of their physical body and soul had gradually adapted to the pressure of the stairs, making their cultivation level double compared to before they had stepped onto the Heavenly Road.

"There are still ten days before the Navy Tide Immortal Manor leaves the Heavenly End Continent. When that happens, we will all be forcefully sent out of the Heavenly End Continent. We won't have time to get used to it!"

Li Yi calculated the time and frowned.

"Yeah, just climb straight up. If you reach the limit, you can only stop and get used to it. That's the only way!"

Sun Yuan also nodded. The further up they went, the greater the pressure was, and the three of them gradually felt that the strength of their bodies and souls had become extremely limited, so it wasn't very meaningful for them to slowly get used to it.

"Let's go!"

Li Yi was the first to climb up to the 81st step. After a short pause, he continued up. Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan followed him. Soon, the three of them arrived at the 100th step.

However, at this moment, the three of them were trembling all over. Their bodies were covered in cold sweat from head to toe. However, Li Yi was in a relatively better condition than Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan.

He couldn't go any higher. He had to get used to it!

Under the strong pressure, Li Yi and the other two were too lazy to waste their energy to speak, and they didn't have any distractions from the sound transmission. They all clenched their teeth, clenched their fists, and desperately circulated their cultivation techniques in an effort to resist the torrential pressure.

The toughness of Li Yi's body and soul was slightly faster than Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan's. After half a day, Li Yi took another step up, panting heavily. Another day later, Zhao Zilong and Sun Yuan also came up.

"Hu hu!"

The heavy breathing of the three people reverberated throughout the entire space. Their sweat continuously dripped down, converging into a small stream that flowed towards the space below the stairs.

"There are still seven floors. I must get there."

The seventh floor and the seventh floor. Normally, this would only be a small step, but for Li Yi and the other two, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

The path to heaven, one step at a time, was truly worthy of its name!

"I, Old Sun, must get on it! My Dharma Idol!"

With a low growl, Sun Yuan activated his Manifestation Art. His body suddenly enlarged, but strangely, the part of the stairs he was on also enlarged. That feeling of spatial disorder seemed so strange to Li Yi and Zhao Zilong.

After displaying the sacred art, Sun Yuan's complexion seemed to have improved. He walked up the few remaining steps step by step.

102nd level, 103rd level, 104th level, 105th level.

After reaching the 105th step, Sun Yuan's body started to tremble violently. The golden hair all over his body stood up, and blood started to seep out from his seven orifices.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, Sun Yuan ascended another flight of stairs, to the 106th level!

With this, Sun Yuan's entire body was pressed down to the top of the stairs, half kneeling. His entire body emitted the sound of bones rubbing against each other, and his face contorted in pain.

"Brother Sun!"

Li Yi and Zhao Zilong's eyes also turned red. They looked at each other and started to use their ultimate moves.

"The pinnacle!"

"Fiendgod transformations!"

Zhao Zilong launched his secret technique to its extreme. He gave up all his speed and strength, completely superimposing his physical body and the defensive capabilities of his soul. Step by step, he ascended to the 106th step.

Zhao Zilong was slightly better than Sun Yuan. He was not pressed down on the stairs, but his body was still shaking and his face was distorted. It was obvious that he was having a hard time bearing the pressure.

This was Li Yi's first time using the [Godly Demon Transformation] ever since cultivating his Fiendgod Body. A black and white light flashed from his body, and Li Yi instantly felt the pressure lessen significantly as his whole body relaxed. The ten times increase in the [Godly Demon Transformation] 's overall strength was not just for show.

Step by step, Li Yi arrived at the 106th step. Although his body was emitting creaking sounds due to the immense pressure, Li Yi knew in his heart that he had not reached his limit and would still be able to reach the 107th step.

The sacred art's secret skills all had a time limit and could not exist for a long period of time. Li Yi and the other two could only climb up within this period of time. Otherwise, when the time was over, they would be sent flying by the powerful pressure.

"Roar!"

Sun Yuan let out a bellow, trembling as he stepped onto the 107th step with his right foot.

In an instant, Sun Yuan's face turned red and his body trembled even more violently. He was like a lonely boat in the ocean, but he still placed his left foot on the 107th step while trembling.

"Pfft!"

Just as Li Yi and Zhao Zilong inwardly cheered for Sun Yuan, Sun Yuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward with a loud bang. His body suddenly became smaller in the air and fell heavily onto the stairs.

He had failed!

Sun Yuan stood on the 107th step, but he could not steady himself. He was only missing one step, just one step, and that was the end result!

Although he had spat out a large mouthful of blood, Sun Yuan was not seriously injured. As soon as he stepped off the stairs, he quickly recovered. It was just that because he had been knocked out of his Dharma Idol state, his entire body seemed weak.

With a flip of his body, Sun Yuan got up and swallowed two elixirs given by Li Yi. He shouted towards the stairs, "Brother Li, Brother Zhao, work harder. You must succeed and help me, Old Sun, out!"

Sun Yuan wouldn't be able to use the Heaven and Earth Appearance Mantra for a short period of time, so he had already reached the end of the Heavenly Road. He could only place his hopes on Li Yi and Zhao Zilong.
