C503 The Stairway to Heaven

"Hu Zhao, why aren't you leaving?" Furious Heavenly King asked.

Eight-faced Buddha King looked at Hong Zheng, the admiration in his eyes getting stronger and stronger. "I will wait for him. You all can leave first. Unfortunately, the Eight Trigrams Sweeping the Sunset Robe was seriously damaged. It was in the process of self-healing. Otherwise, he could borrow it."

Two hours later, they were finally about to cross the precipice of the broken sword.

However, Hong Zheng's aura was getting weaker and weaker. At this moment, he... The consciousness is slowly sinking into the darkness. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to focus. The pain in his body was already numb. The Magic Image Essence Qi in his body was flowing away in a very serious manner.

"Hong Zheng's mind and perseverance are really terrifying."

"Crossing the precipice of the broken sword with his bare hands, there aren't many people in this world who dare to do it, right?"

"Who could endure that kind of pain?"

Su Muwan's eyes flickered, it was unknown what she was thinking about.

When everyone saw this scene, they all sighed.

"Fellow Daoist, catch it." About thirty meters away, Hu Zhao took out a long spear and handed it to Hong Zheng.

"Thank you." Hong Zheng took it silently.

Hu Zhao suddenly exerted force and pulled Hong Zheng up.

"I'll be leaving first. On the Ninth Rank Stairway, we are still opponents." Hu Zhao said with a smile.

Hong Zheng nodded and coughed out a few mouthfuls of Magic Image Essence Qi. His entire body was broken, and not a single part of his body was intact. If it was a body of flesh and blood, even his bones would have been broken.

He closed his eyes and began to absorb heaven and earth essence energy to repair himself.

An hour later, he recovered to his peak state and quickly climbed up the Star Plucking Peak. Looking at the three kings of Central Region and the others, they had already started climbing the Ninth Rank Stairway!

He quickly climbed up the Star Plucking Peak. When he climbed up the Star Plucking Peak, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

In front of him was a huge platform, located at the center of the platform. There was a staircase made of white jade there, a total of nine steps. It went into the clouds. At the top of the Ninth Rank Stairway, there was a divine diagram hanging. On it, crimson golden runes were shining.

Sequence Map!

Currently, Hu Zhao was on the first step, whereas Golden Winged Bird King and Furious Heavenly King were on the second step. Every step of the Ninth Rank Stairway was huge. Every step that passed required a huge amount of divine energy.

At this moment, everyone below the Star Plucking Peak was casting their divine abilities, watching this scene from afar. They wanted to see who was the one who could take the Sequence Map.

Because this was the best chance to pick the ___ in the past few thousand years. The suppressive force was much weaker than before. The chances of Hong Zheng and the three kings of Central Region harvesting it was very high.

Hong Zheng walked over and stepped onto the first step.

In an instant, he felt the weight of Mount Tai pressing down on him. If he hadn't cultivated the Three Flowered Gathering, the gravity just now would have crushed his dharma idol!

This was still the first step. The gravitational force on the ninth step was several times greater than this place!

Creak, creak!

Hong Zheng's entire body was being pressed down so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. He felt as if his entire body was going to break apart. This gravitational force was too terrifying. It was simply not something that an ordinary person could withstand.

He unleashed the Three Flowered Apex Sphere to offset this powerful gravitational force.

Hu Zhao closed his eyes and cultivated while adapting to the gravity. Hong Zheng was the same. Every step he took required a huge amount of divine energy. He had to keep getting used to it before he could continue moving forward. If he forced his way forward, he would never be able to pass the third step. His entire body would collapse and he would die!

However, this was also a good opportunity for cultivation. He would be able to condense his own Dharma Idol. In the past, there were some cultivators who had stepped into the sixth step of the Stairway to Heaven and returned to the outside world. Their speed was astonishing. The strength of the Dharma Idol directly surpassed the cultivation level of the main body.

Six hours later, Hu Zhao finished his cultivation. He had completely adapted to the gravity of the first step. He climbed up the stairs and stepped onto the second step.

Hong Zheng sat in meditation, adjusting his breathing. His body was trembling, constantly adapting to the gravity. His entire body was emitting light and burning with flames.

In just a quarter of an hour, he had completely adapted. He stepped onto the second step.

At this moment, Golden Winged Bird King and Furious Heavenly King had already stepped onto the third step. Hu Zhao was half a beat slower, but he also followed closely behind and stepped onto the third step.

The moment Hong Zheng stepped onto the second step, he felt that the gravity of the second step was twice as great as the first step. He adapted to it for a long time before he gradually regained his mobility. But he was far from being able to move freely.

Everyone's speed of adapting to this place had clearly increased. In the end, they needed to spend a large amount of time and Medicinal Pill in order to get used to the gravity.

One day later, the three kings of Central Region stepped onto the fifth step, and Hong Zheng was on the fourth step.

On the fourth step, Hong Zheng opened his eyes. A vast amount of divine energy had been accumulated in his body. He took a step forward and stepped onto the fifth step. The speed at which he adapted to the gravity had obviously increased. If he followed this trend... The last person to seize the Sequence Map would be Hong Zheng!

Hong Zheng sat cross-legged on the ground. He felt as if he was carrying two huge mountains, and it was difficult for him to move.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled from within his body as three Human Flowers appeared above his head. A mysterious golden energy flowed out, only as thick as his hair. They were poured onto his body. In an instant, his entire body seemed to have been cast from gold.

Hu Zhao's eyes widened. He looked at the scene in disbelief and stammered, "Zun... The secret force of Venerable!"

The secret force of the Venerable One, the secret force that was born in the Dharma Image, could be used to create physical objects. What was even more terrifying was that this force was extremely powerful. A strand of the secret force of the Martial Highness Realm was enough to crush a small hill!

The Sovereign's secret force circulated around Hong Zheng's body like lightning. It kept spinning in a circle. His aura was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, it far surpassed the three kings of Central Region!

Furious Heavenly King suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and stepped onto the sixth step. The moment he stepped on the sixth step, he let out a miserable cry. His body was sent flying as if he was struck by a giant hammer. His chest caved in!

Puff!

Furious Heavenly King fell back onto the platform and spat out several mouthfuls of Magic Image Essence Qi. Cracks appeared on his body, and his Dharma Idol nearly collapsed!

"Sixth step, how terrifying!" Furious Heavenly King said, his face filled with shock.

When the people below the Star Plucking Peak saw this, they were all in an uproar. They didn't expect Furious Heavenly King to fail. Could the other three still step onto the top?

"I'll do it!" Golden Winged Bird King stood up and shouted. A pair of wings appeared on his back and three Human Flowers appeared on top of his head. With sufficient preparation, he rushed towards the sixth step.

He suddenly stood on the sixth step and his expression changed dramatically. Before he could say anything, his body was also sent flying by a tremendous force. His shoulder exploded, and the Magic Image Essence Qi tumbled and fell to the ground!

Golden Winged Bird King failed!
