When Chu Chen arrived at the pine forest region near the peak of the Void Crossing Peak, the mountains suddenly shook and the earth shook. It was as if the entire space was trembling!
A terrifying throbbing spread through the air, and Chu Chen even felt as though the heavens and earth were about to collapse. He stopped in his tracks!
At this moment, the perfect, cold, and ethereal goddess statue gently closed her eyes.
The entire sky darkened.
"Boom!"
The entire Duxu Peak suddenly split open!
Chu Chen looked over and saw that the path to the top of the Duxu Peak had split open from the middle. The black mountain path trembled violently and split into two, slowly moving to the sides.
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands in the unseen world, forcefully pushing the mountain to the two sides.
A dark abyss appeared before Chu Chen's eyes. Endless Ling Qi surged out from the expanding abyss like a tidal wave!
The Ling Qi was so dense that Chu Chen felt as though he was about to suffocate.
Chu Chen, who was flying through the air, actually wanted to retreat instinctively. The terrifyingly dense Ling Qi felt as though it could drown a cultivator.
If not for Chu Chen's Ling Qi quickly protecting his internal organs, the dense Ling Qi would have directly corroded his internal organs. It was simply too dense!
Just as Chu Chen was continuously adjusting his Ling Qi to avoid drowning, the abyss in front of him had already expanded to several tens of zhang, and its bottom could not be seen.
At this moment, Chu Chen saw a faint golden light rising from the unfathomable crack.
Chu Chen focused his gaze and saw a thin golden line rising from the depths of the abyss in the distance.
As the golden line continued to rise, Chu Chen gradually saw its true form. It was a dark golden stone staircase!
"Zha Zha!"
Not far from Chu Chen, the dark golden stone staircase that extended all the way to the Duxu Peak floated above the abyss!
The dark golden stone steps were about ten zhang wide, and the Myriad Steps Ancient Road continued to extend upwards.
It looked extremely ancient, full of traces left behind by the passage of time. It was as if every trace was full of mysteries, hiding a secret.
Golden fragments of spiritual light floated above this ancient path, giving Chu Chen a feeling that this mysterious ancient path didn't lead to the top of the mountain, but to another mysterious world!
"This … this is the legendary Myriad Steps Ancient Path?"
At the top of the hall halfway up the mountain, Feng Qiang's eyes were shining as he stared at the dark golden ancient path in the distance in a daze.
"That's right …"
Han Ye took a deep breath. "After the Myriad Steps Ancient Path appeared, half of the mountain peak was sealed by the laws. This dark golden path is the only way to reach the peak!"
"The Ten Thousand Steps Ancient Road only has ten thousand steps. Isn't every step difficult to traverse?"
Feng Qiang stared at the dark golden path in the distance without blinking. As he thought about how Chu Chen was about to ascend the Myriad Steps Ancient Road, his nervous voice became hoarse.
"Every step of the Myriad Steps Ancient Road is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Since ancient times, how many proud sons of heaven of the demonic path have tried to cross the Myriad Steps Ancient Road and obtain the supreme inheritance of the Duxu Peak Lord? But all of them have failed. Every step is as difficult as crossing an entire world …"
Ye Han's eyes became filled with endless sorrow. It was as if he could see the countless demonic path geniuses that had stepped onto the Myriad Steps Ancient Road one by one, only to fall midway.
What Ye Han was most worried about was Chu Chen's cultivation. How many demonic cultivators at the Spirit River Boundary had failed to ascend the Myriad Steps Ancient Road? Chu Chen's cultivation hadn't even reached the Spirit Stream Boundary.
No matter how good he was at fighting, his cultivation was too weak. He would obviously be at a disadvantage on the Myriad Steps Ancient Road.
"Our life and death will depend on Eldest Senior Brother's gamble. Eldest Senior Brother, you have to take care of yourself …" Feng Qiang clenched his fists tightly. His gaze followed Chu Chen, who had flown up, and leaped onto the dark golden ancient path!
The first step of the Myriad Steps Ancient Road!
Heavy!
As Chu Chen stepped onto the Myriad Steps Ancient Road, the only thing he felt was the weight. His legs felt heavy, and his body felt as if it weighed a thousand jin!
As his feet touched the dark golden stone of the Myriad Steps Ancient Road, Chu Chen felt as if he had stepped into a different world. A world with a gravity that was a hundred times stronger than the original one.
If it weren't for the fact that his spiritual power was incomparably strong, Chu Chen estimated that after stepping onto the first step, his entire body would have collapsed on the stone steps.
However, after standing on the stone steps for a few seconds, he heard a continuous cracking sound.
To Chu Chen's surprise, he discovered that the ground he was standing on had fine and dense cracks that extended in all directions!
This Myriad Steps Ancient Road was too terrifying. Just by standing there, he had to bear such a terrifying gravity. No wonder no one had been able to complete the ten thousand steps that didn't sound very long.
"Stop, eldest senior brother, stop!"
Feng Qiang's right hand was clenched into a fist. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling. He felt as if he was standing on the Myriad Steps Ancient Road, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Feng Qiang's performance left Zi Xi speechless. However, despite her calm appearance, her heart was in suspense. She had heard all kinds of legends about the Myriad Steps Ancient Road.
Now that she saw Chu Chen step onto the Myriad Steps Ancient Road, she felt as if her breathing was about to stop.
"Eldest senior brother, stop. He's already the first person to stand on the Myriad Steps Ancient Road with the cultivation of the Illusory Stream Realm." Han Ye's voice was filled with emotion. "The Duxu Peak is also known as the 'Void Crossing Stone Steps' and the 'Heaven Reaching Stone Steps'. According to legends, those who can cross the ten thousand steps will not only receive the true inheritance of the peak master, but also have a chance to ascend and become an immortal. With eldest senior brother's cultivation, standing on the Myriad Steps Ancient Road is already a success!"
"However, eldest senior brother seems to be struggling a bit. The stone under his feet has already cracked …"
Feng Qiang was excited at first, but he immediately began to worry.
"Eldest senior brother's cultivation is indeed too low, but there's nothing we can do about it. However, he can stand on the Myriad Steps Ancient Road with the strength of the Illusory Stream Realm. He's even stronger than some great Spirit River Realm cultivators. As far as I know, in the long river of history, many great Spirit River Realm cultivators directly turned into dead dogs after stepping onto the Myriad Steps Ancient Road. Whether or not eldest senior brother can take this step, he's already succeeded!"
"Eldest senior brother is too cool!"
Hearing that even great Spirit River Realm cultivators couldn't stand on the Myriad Steps Ancient Road, Feng Qiang immediately felt even more proud of Chu Chen. His heroic spirit rose. "I know. Even if eldest senior brother can't take this step, he's still a hero of our Duxu Peak …"
Feng Qiang was halfway through his words when his mouth gaped open, unable to close for a long time.
This was because he saw Chu Chen. Thud! Thud! Thud!
Step after step, he took slow and heavy steps. He'd already crossed the third step and stepped onto the fourth step of the Myriad Steps Ancient Road!
Chu Chen's every step left countless tiny cracks on the dark golden stone steps. However, his body was extremely straight, and there were no signs of him falling down at all.
Feng Qiang was shocked, but Han Ye was even more shocked. This was because he clearly knew how terrifying the Myriad Steps Ancient Road was more than Feng Qiang!
Every step was like a different world. The terrifying spiritual pressure of the second step was at least twice as strong as that of the first step!
At first, Chu Chen seemed to be struggling to stand on the first step. Who would've thought that he'd calmly step onto the fourth step?
What kind of joke was this?
