The four of them stepped onto the first Proud King's Peak one after another. As they continued to advance, the pressure on their bodies grew increasingly greater, as though each of them was carrying a mountain on their backs.
Every step was extremely strenuous. It was no exaggeration to say that any other supreme genius apart from the four Proud Kings would not be able to withstand such pressure, let alone reach the peak.
"Damn it, this is only the first Proud King's Peak …" Gu Lei muttered under his breath as he struggled to climb.
This was only the first Proud King's Peak, but the pressure was already so immense. It was hard to imagine just how great the pressure would be on the second, third, and even the final Proud King's Peak. Could anyone reach the peak under such pressure?
Previously, he had planned to find an opportunity to strike down Xiao Chen's trio while climbing the mountain. However, he was already struggling to withstand such pressure, so how could he spare any energy to launch a sneak attack on the others?
Similar to Gu Lei's thoughts, Xiao Chen's trio also planned to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the others while climbing the peak. However, after feeling the pressure of the restriction, they had no choice but to give up on this idea.
They were already doing their best to deal with the pressure, so they simply could not spare any energy to do anything else.
Although the path did not seem long, the four of them took a total of six hours to successfully reach the peak. The only fortunate thing was that the first Proud King's Peak did not eliminate anyone, and all four of them successfully reached the peak.
The pressure of the restriction quickly disappeared after reaching the peak. The four of them panted heavily as they looked towards the second Proud King's Peak.
The top of the first Proud King's Peak was connected to the middle of the second Proud King's Peak. Similarly, there was a flight of bluestone stairs. Although the distance was not long, the four of them no longer dared to look down on this short flight of bluestone stairs.
After resting for around fifteen minutes, the four of them gradually recovered with the help of the medicinal pills. However, no one expected that Gu Lei would actually choose to give up.
When climbing the first Proud King's Peak, Gu Lei had already given it his all and had no choice but to activate his Purple Thunder Body. As such, Gu Lei truly did not have the confidence to continue climbing the second Proud King's Peak.
Even an idiot would know that the pressure on the second Proud King's Peak was definitely greater than the first. Once he failed the second Proud King's Peak, it would mean that he had lost the qualifications to become a Proud King. Gu Lei did not dare to take the risk. At the same time, even if he did, there was not much hope. Therefore, he might as well choose the first Proud King's Peak.
He glanced at the three of them and sat down on the dragon throne expressionlessly. Xiao Chen and the other two did not pay much attention to Gu Lei sitting on the first dragon throne of the Proud King's Peak. They were different from Gu Lei, as they still had to continue with their challenges.
They continued to challenge the next Proud King's Peak. Gu Lei's expression was a little ugly in the face of their gazes. However, he did not say anything. To be able to sit on the first Proud King's Peak's dragon throne, Gu Lei had already surpassed the other geniuses. He could even be called the strongest genius in the West Sea Region. After all, Xiao Chen's group were not from the West Sea Region.
Clearly, Xiao Chen's group did not want to stop at the first Proud King's Peak. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen took the lead and stepped onto the limestone steps leading to the second Proud King's Peak. Seeing this, Huanggu and Su Mu followed closely behind.
Since one person had already chosen to give up, there were only three left to compete. On the limestone steps leading to the second Proud King's Peak, the three of them were still under immense pressure.
Step by step, they resolutely walked forward. After passing through the limestone steps leading to the second Proud King's Peak, Xiao Chen's group successfully reached the silver steps leading to the peak.
That's right, the steps leading to the second Proud King's Peak were no longer made of limestone. Instead, they were made of silver. This was probably to show that the second Proud King's Peak had a higher status than the first Proud King's Peak.
Just as they stepped onto the silver steps, Xiao Chen's group instantly saw a huge wave of spiritual energy pouring down from the top of the second Proud King's Peak and violently rushing towards them.
"Spiritual energy impact …" Su Mu involuntarily cried out in surprise.
He never expected to encounter a spiritual energy impact on the second Proud King's Peak. Its might was far from what the first Proud King's Peak's pressure could compare to. Seeing the spiritual energy pouring down from the top of the mountain, not only did Xiao Chen's group of three change their expressions, but everyone in the outside world was also stunned.
"That's impossible, right? How can a Mysterious Yuan Stage cultivator withstand a spiritual energy impact? "Someone said in disbelief.
While everyone was talking, the first wave of spiritual energy had already arrived in front of Xiao Chen's group of three. In response, the three of them raised their aura to the maximum and firmly held onto the ground as if their feet were rooted to the ground.
Boom … The first wave of spiritual energy finally arrived in front of the three of them. Under the impact of the spiritual energy impact, their bodies swayed, but their feet didn't relax and firmly held onto the ground.
They couldn't relax at all. Once they were swept away, it meant that they had failed.
While resisting the powerful spiritual energy impact, Xiao Chen's group of three stared at the top of the second Proud King's Peak. After a full hundred breaths, the spiritual energy on the top of the mountain gradually weakened. It was obvious that this wave of spiritual energy impact was about to end.
The three of them were waiting for the moment when the spiritual energy disappeared. The moment the first wave of spiritual energy impact disappeared, Xiao Chen's group of three moved at the same time and rushed forward like ferocious tigers.
In order to pass through the second Proud King's Peak, there were two key points. First, they had to withstand the spiritual energy impact. Second, they had to seize the gap between each wave of spiritual energy impact and climb to the top as quickly as possible. After all, every wave of spiritual energy impact would consume more of Xiao Chen's group of three's energy. If their energy was completely depleted, needless to say, they would definitely be swept to the bottom by the spiritual energy impact.
Without any hesitation, they increased their speed to the maximum and rushed to the top of the mountain. However, in less than ten breaths of time, the second wave of spiritual energy impact fell from the sky.
Sensing the second wave of spiritual energy impact, Xiao Chen's group of three stopped at the same time. They once again circulated their spiritual energy and firmly held onto the ground to withstand the second wave of spiritual energy impact.
One shouldn't underestimate this spiritual energy impact. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even a warrior at the Mysterious Eon Perfect Stage might not be able to withstand this spiritual energy impact, not to mention Xiao Chen's group of three who were at the Mysterious Eon Initial Stage. Furthermore, the three of them didn't only need to withstand one wave of spiritual energy impact. Judging from the interval between the two waves of spiritual energy impact, the three of them would need to successfully withstand at least eight waves of spiritual energy impact in order to reach the top. Moreover, they couldn't encounter any unexpected changes in the process. Otherwise, the three of them would have to withstand even more.
