Gu Xiao, 76 steps. As his foot landed, the sound of the bell reverberated through the air. As long as Gu Xiao willed it, the sound of the bell could be heard from afar.
And at this moment, Qin Wentian, 64 steps.
Although there seemed to be only a distance of 12 steps, everyone in the academy knew that if one wanted to step on the final few footprints, it would be akin to ascending the stairway to the heavens. It was incomparably dangerous.
How difficult would it be to cross the final step?
Qin Wentian stood there. When he saw Gu Xiao domineeringly stepping out to reply to him, a smile flashed on his face. He calmly stood in the midst of the tempest, allowing the boundless energy to blast into his flesh, bones, and blood. However, he still stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. His robes fluttered in the wind, exuding a supreme grace.
Just like what he had said, regardless of whether it was Yingteng or Gu Xiao, there was no need for him to compare himself with them. He came here only because he wanted to meet Qing Er earlier. But since Yingteng took the initiative to provoke and humiliate him, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson that he wouldn't forget.
As the king of swords in the Supreme Sword School, Gu Xiao was clearly much more outstanding compared to Yingteng.
But even if Gu Xiao challenged him with this step, Qin Wentian would naturally accept it.
"76 steps, is it very strong?" Qin Wentian mumbled. As the sound of his voice faded, a huge wave of commotion swept through the crowd. Many stared at him in astonishment. 76 steps, very strong?
How could it be merely strong? With the existence of the Stonebell Rampart, there were only a handful of people who could cross the 72nd step of the Stonebell Rampart. Every step after that was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The 76th step wasn't an ordinary level of strength.
Qin Wentian's words were simply ridiculous.
"This fellow dares to provoke Gu Xiao, yet he doesn't know how strong the 76 steps are."
"Right now, he's at the sixty-fourth step. These twelve steps are enough to kill him several times over," the crowd said without hesitation. They had all tried it before and knew how terrifying the Shizhong Wall was.
However, as they were discussing, Qin Wentian also took a step forward. On the 65th step, celestial light shone around him, and a terrifying power pierced through Qin Wentian's body, causing his muscles and bones to tremble and his blood to roar. The celestial light on his body continued to shine, becoming stronger and stronger.
"Stand still." The gazes of the crowd froze, but before they had the time to be shocked, they saw Qin Wentian lifting his foot again. He took the sixty-sixth step, becoming an immortal with a single step. His body was surrounded by seven-colored immortal light. Various kinds of energies penetrated his body, wanting to destroy him. However, his steps were still as steady as a boulder. His handsome face and slightly frail body stood there like a mountain, unshakable.
"Is he courting death?" Heavy expressions appeared on the faces of the crowd. Back then, that terrifying genius was also killed here. He took over 60 steps in a single breath and the Stonebell Rampart energy within his body was so terrifying that it was sufficient to kill someone. Qin Wentian actually took so many steps in such a short period of time? The violent energy accumulated in his body had no way to quench it. Did he want to walk down the same path as that genius?
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"
He took three consecutive steps, and there seemed to be a marvelous rhythm to it. It was as though the sound of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was reverberating through the air. A storm of wind and rain gushed forth from Qin Wentian. There was a supreme pressure there, and the bell chimes within his body felt as though they could erupt at any moment. However, the light radiating from Qin Wentian's body was incomparably resplendent, akin to a fiendgod. The radiance he emitted was simply unexcelled in the world, forcibly suppressing the rampaging energy within his body.
At this moment, Qin Wentian had already taken 69 steps, breaking the record for the number of steps he took in a single breath. He was even further compared to that Heaven Chosen who was killed by the Shizhong Wall. However, Qin Wentian naturally didn't die.
Many people had heavy expressions on their faces. Many geniuses who were surpassed by Qin Wentian opened their eyes and stared at Qin Wentian. There was actually such a terrifying person who could use his tyrannical physique and tyrannical bloodline to suppress the energy of the Shizhong Wall?
Naturally, this was only the beginning of the shock.
Because, Qin Wentian still didn't rest. His body moved forward and he lifted his foot again. His movements were so natural, like he was walking on flat ground. There was no pause at all, exuding an extraordinary grace. This step was already the 70th step. As his foot landed, the glow of God's Hand radiated from him. For a moment, a towering light radiated from his body, illuminating the entire space. Qin Wentian basked in that light as the bell chimes rang out. It was as though he was being suppressed there, causing his body to tremble violently.
The Shizhong Wall was very powerful. Qin Wentian could clearly sense that it wasn't an ordinary level of strength. This Shizhong Wall had already locked onto his aura and copied his attribute energy. After that, the ancient bells on the wall started to reverberate back to him, cleansing his muscles, bones, blood, and flesh, battering against his immortal-foundation, wanting to use his energy to destroy himself. However, if he could endure it, he could also use the energy to cleanse his body.
However, although the Shizhong Wall was powerful, how many Qin Wentian's were there in this Sacred Academy?
A perfect and flawless immortal-foundation, a powerful physique, and the power of God's Hand. This body of his was simply at the pinnacle of physical strength. As for his bloodline, wasn't it also incomparably tyrannical?
He stood there, his long robes fluttering in the wind. The terrifying bell chimes were unable to affect him at all. The 71st step was completed.
As this step landed, there were only ten steps left.
As this step landed, there were only five steps left to Gu Xiao.
As this step landed, he continued to break the record.
As this step landed, the hearts of everyone trembled.
Stepping out 71 steps in a single breath, even if Qin Wentian was killed, it was already sufficient to stun the entire Sacred Academy. Being able to reach this step was already something worthy of pride.
The gazes of many people when they looked at Qin Wentian changed, turning heavy.
Was 76 steps very powerful?
This was Qin Wentian's words. Before this, he sounded arrogant and ignorant. But from the looks of it now, wasn't it also because of his absolute confidence?
Maybe, Qin Wentian would really be able to do it.
If he could do it, there was no doubt that it would be a ruthless slap to Gu Xiao's face.
Gu Xiao stabilized his steps. Clearly, he had also noticed the domineering Qin Wentian. Seventy-one steps, he knew that he wouldn't be able to do it. However, he wouldn't feel that he was inferior to Qin Wentian because of this. In fact, there was a trace of jealousy in his heart. This was human nature, it had nothing to do with one's strength.
At this moment, Qin Wentian wasn't thinking about Gu Xiao. He could feel the raging storm of energy in his body that could crush everything. Right now, he was only thinking about moving forward. At the instant he stepped out, whether it was Gu Xiao or Yingteng, all of that was secondary. He had never looked at Yingteng in the eye before. Back then, Yingteng was already inferior to him. Could it be that Yingteng could surpass him now? If that was the case, he would have wasted all these years of cultivation. As for Gu Xiao, although he was strong, Qin Wentian still didn't view him as a formidable opponent. Maybe, in his subconsciousness, Qin Wentian felt that Gu Xiao didn't have the qualifications to do so.
The final step of the eight by nine, the 72nd step, was completed. Everyone could feel the tremors in this space as the bell chimes reverberated unceasingly. An incomparably intense radiance shot out from the Shizhong Wall. Even from extremely far away, everyone could see the phenomenon occurring on the Shizhong Wall.
From afar, at the place where Qin Wentian was previously at, the two geniuses were violently fighting. The spectators in the surroundings all felt the tremors in the direction of the Shizhong Wall. They inclined their heads and stared in that direction as strange expressions appeared on their faces.
Today, the direction of the Shizhong Wall was somewhat abnormal. Could it be that a powerful character had started to move away from his original position?
"Could it be that fellow?" Someone thought of Qin Wentian who appeared earlier. However, they soon shook their heads. That fellow was truly laughable. How could he possibly affect the tremors of the Shizhong Wall? In addition, he had just arrived at the Shizhong Wall not too long ago. But to be able to witness the phenomenon occurring on the Shizhong Wall, that fellow could already be considered quite lucky.
In front of the Shizhong Wall, Qin Wentian was currently enduring the terrifying impact. He paused for a moment as his body glowed with an intense radiance, terrifying to the extreme.
"The accumulated energy in one's body is getting stronger and stronger. Taking a step in one breath is truly difficult. No wonder there were people who couldn't withstand it and were killed by the tremors. Sometimes, when one reaches the end, it would be hard to get off the tiger." Qin Wentian silently thought in his heart. The might of the Shizhong Wall was the most terrifying, and the impact on one's body was the strongest.
However, he didn't hesitate. He lifted his foot again as the Light of Truth shimmered faintly. Countless runic inscriptions circulated around his body as Qin Wentian stepped out.
There were eighty-one steps in the Shizhong Wall. There were only nine steps left. Qin Wentian took the first step, the 73rd step.
"BOOM!" A dull sound rang out. Within the dullness, an extraordinary might could be felt. The earth trembled and even the ancient hall started to tremble, as though it could collapse at any moment. Those experts who were spectating the battle earlier felt their hearts trembling as they felt that the Shizhong Wall was becoming more and more abnormal.
In the other places, the geniuses from the various powers raised their heads and stared in the direction of the Shizhong Wall. Their eyes gleamed with sharpness. It was unknown which genius had taken the final step, causing the ground to tremble continuously. From this, one could see how violent the might was and how terrifying the accumulated energy was.
"The 73rd step." The hearts of everyone in front of the Shizhong Wall trembled violently. Qin Wentian actually took the 72nd step and continued forward. At this moment, they couldn't help but to be impressed by Qin Wentian.
Such a character was extremely rare in the Sacred Academy. There had never been such a character before.
Even for him back then, although he managed to take the 81st step and established an incomparably perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation, he didn't manage to take the 70th step in a single breath. Such a method was simply insane.
In many places, rumbling sounds rang out unceasingly. The experts from the various powers all felt the tremors as their expressions turned heavy as they stared in the direction of the Shizhong Wall.
"How powerful." At this moment, Qin Wentian truly felt the essence of the Shizhong Wall. It was too powerful, he could feel a fearsome might accumulating within his body. Once it erupted, it might really destroy him.
At this moment, he was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. He could only continue forward, using force to break force.
His supreme physique radiated a startling light as his saint-grade immortal-foundation manifested. Attribute energy circulated around him, transforming into a divine glow. Qin Wentian lifted his foot again and took the 74th step. The rumbling sounds continued, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble once more.
From afar, the experts from the various powers all turned their gazes over here. In fact, the two geniuses who fought against Qin Wentian earlier also stopped their battle as they inclined their heads and stared in the direction of the Shizhong Wall. What happened over there?
Did that expert from the Supreme Sword School unleash his might?
Or could it be that expert from the Myriad Devil Islands who started his path of rampage?
Or was it that prince from the Senluo Immortal Empire who started his journey?
