Sound Pattern Mountain, Steps of Courage.
In the blink of an eye, seven days and seven nights had passed.
Step by step, Xia Ping climbed upwards. In the beginning, it was relatively easy for him. However, the higher he climbed, the greater the pressure he felt. That terrifying demonic sound seeped into his soul and kept colliding with it. It was as though countless hammers were smashing against his soul, bombarding him until he felt dizzy.
5,000 steps!
At this moment, he had climbed 5,000 steps. This was a rather high height. Even ordinary Immemorial Saints would not be able to reach such a height.
At the 3,000th step, ordinary primordial sages would probably be crushed to death.
And for Xia Ping to be able to reach such a height at Immemorial Ancient level, it had already proved that his soul power far surpassed that of ordinary Immemorial Saints. If this were to spread, who knew how many Saints would be shocked.
But even so, when he looked up, he still could not see the peak of the Sound Pattern Mountain. It was as if it was covered by layers of clouds, and he could not see where the end was.
After all, the entire Sound Pattern Mountain had a total of 18,000 steps. He had only withstood 5,000 steps and had only passed one-third of the journey. He had not even reached half of it. He was still far from reaching the halfway point.
At this moment, Xia Ping felt waves of intense pain in his soul. It was as if it was about to shatter. From the depths of his soul, an endless sense of exhaustion surged …
If he could, he wanted to immediately fall to the ground and fall into a deep sleep.
But from the information of the trial, he knew that if he were to really faint, the contents of the trial would not stop. He would be killed on the spot by the demonic sound power of the Sound Pattern Mountain.
The Invincible Saint who had entered the Sound Pattern Mountain previously had his soul crushed by the demonic sound power because he could not take it anymore. He had perished within the Sound Pattern Mountain.
"Is this my current limit?"
Xia Ping felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion as he panted heavily. This was the God of War's trial indeed. If not for the fact that he had something to rely on, he would probably have died here.
This was also one of the greatest difficulties he had faced.
"Hmm, no. Am I going to break through?"
Suddenly, just as Xia Ping felt that his soul was about to reach its limit, a mysterious chaotic warm current surged from the depths of his body.
Dong!
Instantly, a certain bottleneck in his consciousness seemed to have been shattered. The door turned into dust with ease.
Immemorial Ancient realm late stage!
Xia Ping's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would have a breakthrough in his cultivation at this time. It was like a canal that formed when the conditions were right, and he didn't have to spend too much effort.
To be honest, his cultivation state was already at the pinnacle of Immemorial Ancient state middle stage earlier on. He wasn't that far away from Immemorial Ancient state later stage either, and could break through at any moment.
Furthermore, as he climbed up the steps of the Sound Pattern Mountain, he was baptized by the demonic sounds, which constantly tempered and cleansed his soul. This also caused his soul's power and essence to improve tremendously.
This was a crisis, but it was also a huge opportunity.
When his Soul Energy had almost reached its limit, his essence, energy, and spirit had also reached their peak. He had completely stimulated the potential in his body and activated the boundless life energy stored in his body.
At that moment, his cultivation state broke through naturally and he leveled up to the Immemorial Ancient state later stage.
Crash ~ ~ ~
In the blink of an eye, Xia Ping could feel that ever since he had leveled up to the Immemorial Ancient state later stage, it was as though the skies and the seas were boundless. His nine great Purple Palaces were expanding, expanding, and expanding endlessly.
The powers within his body were growing and expanding rapidly as well. In just a few breaths' time, his powers were already twice as strong as before.
With his body as the center, a gigantic energy vortex was formed as the void energy from all directions surged into every single pore of his body frenziedly. They were infused into his nine great Purple Palaces, nourishing every single cell in his body and causing his body to be filled with a tremendous amount of Source Energy.
But, after leveling up to the Immemorial Ancient state later stage, it wasn't just his powers that had increased. The most important thing was that his Soul Energy had received a tremendous boost as well.
His initially fatigued soul was now being flooded with a tremendous amount of Source Energy of the Universe from the depths of the void. It was as though a desert had met with the nourishment of water, causing his soul to feel refreshed.
BOOM ~ ~ ~
In just a single instant, Xia Ping's Soul Energy seemed as though it had recovered to its peak state. In fact, because he had broken through the bottleneck, his Soul Energy was rising continuously as well. Rising, rising, and rising.
In the end, his Soul Energy was raised to twice as strong as before before it finally came to a stop.
Furthermore, this was just the beginning. If he were to completely stabilize his powers of the Immemorial Ancient state later stage, his Soul Energy would be raised even further. This was far from the limit.
In reality, the further one got into the later stages of cultivation, even if it were just a small increase in cultivation state, the increase in power would be something that one would not be able to imagine in the earlier stages.
It was just like ten trillion USD increasing by 10% and one trillion USD increasing by 10%. Those were two entirely different things.
Therefore, after cultivating to the later stages, wanting to increase one's power would become increasingly difficult and slow.
BOOM ~ ~
It wasn't just his Soul Energy and powers that had received an upgrade. As Xia Ping leveled up to the Immemorial Ancient state later stage, the Hell's Golden Crow cells within his body were awakening furiously as well.
10 billion cells, 20 billion cells, 50 billion cells, 100 billion cells, 200 billion cells … In the end, he had awakened a total of 500 billion Hell's Golden Crow cells within his body.
Initially, he had awakened 2 trillion Hell's Golden Crow cells earlier on. And now, he had awakened 2.5 trillion of them. That was a full 25% increase in his Bloodline Power.
Even though it was just a 25% increase in his Bloodline Power, the amount of power that it brought to Xia Ping was practically unimaginable. This caused the Bloodline Power within his body to become even denser.
The power of each and every single Bloodline Mystic Skill had received a huge boost, allowing them to unleash an even more horrifying destructive power than before. It was enough for them to kill even Immemorial Saints.
One could say that he was improving in all aspects right now.
"Huh?!"
Xia Ping's heart skipped a beat. As his Soul Energy increased, he realized that the Demonic Sound that was blasting down from the stairs that he was on could no longer pose a threat to him.
The power of the Demonic Sound that should have been able to destroy his soul was able to withstand it with ease under the cover of his powerful soul, leaving him unscathed.
"Seems like there's no need for the World Tree to make a move for the time being. Just my main body alone is enough for me to continue advancing."
Xia Ping's eyes shone brightly. He had already taken this trial as a chance for him to cultivate. If he could withstand the Demonic Sound until the very end, his soul would definitely be tempered and improved tremendously.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not use his trump card.
