There was a hint of a smile at the corners of Lu Ming's lips. It was a mocking smile.
He knew what Jiang Taixu meant.
Jiang Taixu's meaning was obvious. He was already on the 19th step. If Lu Ming stepped onto the 20th step, he would be humiliated.
Jiang Taixu was not able to step on it, but he wanted to be superior and not let others step on it. It was ridiculous.
Why would Lu Ming care about such a person?
"If you're so capable, come up too!"
Lu Ming smiled coldly and ignored Jiang Taixu. He turned around and stepped forward without hesitation.
Boom!
When Lu Ming stepped onto the second step, he felt as if the whole world was pressing down on him. His body involuntarily trembled, as if he would collapse at any time.
In the sky ahead, Lu Ming saw a figure as tall as the sky, looking down at him. That kind of pressure was even more terrifying and powerful.
"Get down!"
The voice kept rushing into Lu Ming's mind and soul.
Endless lights of various colors flew toward Lu Ming and hit Lu Ming's body. Lu Ming felt as if he was being cut into pieces. He could clearly see his flesh and blood being separated from his body.
Of course, this was only what he felt. What others saw was that his body was trembling slightly.
"He stepped on it. He stepped on it."
"His body is trembling slightly. It seems very difficult. Can he hold on? If he can, he's comparable to the top 20 geniuses on the List of Top 1,000 Talents. "
"The 20th step. This guy has a bright future."
Below, countless people widened their eyes in shock and nervousness as they looked up at Lu Ming.
"No one can make me get down!"
Lu Ming growled on the 20th step. His eyes were full of determination and persistence.
He wanted to break through all obstacles. He wanted to reach the peak. He wanted to surpass Martial Emperor Di Yi.
A figure seemed to appear in front of him. It was indomitable and had an unparalleled aura. It was even bigger and more majestic than the figure that had told him to get down.
That was the Martial Emperor Di Yi in his imagination. He had surpassed Martial Emperor Di Yi. Why should he be afraid of this figure?
His posture slowly stabilized and he stood up straight.
He stood firmly on the 20th step.
Above them was the dark red staircase.
Only those who had participated in the Heavenly King List battle, obtained the top 108 places, and had the protection of the Tablet Qi, could step on the dark red step. Otherwise, there was only one way out.
Looking at Lu Ming standing on the 20th step, a cold light flashed in Jiang Taixu's eyes. His body was extremely sharp.
He looked at the 20th step, hesitated, but he did not step on it.
At that moment, people on the other steps opened opened their eyes and looked up at Lu Ming.
"Amazing, truly amazing. Another top-notch genius!"
Many geniuses exclaimed.
"Brother Lu is indeed much stronger than me." Kenfei Ryū sighed.
Qin Qingshan and Gao Qiang also sighed.
Qin Qingshan had been easily defeated by Lu Ming a few days ago. Initially, he was unhappy, but now, he was convinced.
As for Gao Qiang, he felt lucky. Previously, he had wanted to teach Lu Ming a lesson. Now that he thought about it, his face burned.
"Impossible!"
In the crowd below, Wang Mie, Wang Mang and the others shouted in disbelief.
"This brat, I want him dead!"
Murderous intent flashed in Wang Mang's eyes.
"Don't worry, climbing the Heavenly King Stele doesn't mean that you are strong. Kill him in the Heavenly King List battle!"
Cold light flashed in Wang Mie's eyes.
At that moment, Xie Nianqing, who had been sitting cross-legged on the 18th step, suddenly stood up and stepped on the 19th step in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
Xie Nianqing steadily stepped onto the nineteenth step, standing at the same level as Jiang Taixu. Before the crowd could react, Xie Nianqing took another step forward.
With this step, she stepped on the 20th step. Her body trembled slightly, but her eyes were resolute.
Another person stepped on the 20th step. Moreover, it was the female companion of Lu Ming. Almost everyone thought that she was Lu Ming's girlfriend.
A golden boy and a jade girl both stepped on the 20th step. Everyone was stunned and thought that they were dreaming.
This was too unbelievable.
Since the opening of the Heavenly King Stele, no one had stepped on the 20th step. Now, two of them had stepped on it.
The coldness in Jiang Taixu's eyes intensified.
"Haha, it's so lively today. Let me join in the fun!"
A loud laughter sounded. Everyone looked over and saw a fat man with a waist as thick as a water tank. He wore a loose white robe, and his face was chubby.
He was carrying an axe on his shoulder. The shaft of the axe was two meters long, and the body of the axe was as big as a door.
In his other hand, he was holding a greasy lamb leg. He was munching on it as he descended and stepped on the stairs of the Heavenly King Stele.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a beam of light flashed on the other side. A tall figure landed at the foot of the Heavenly King Stele. This young man was wearing a gray robe and looked very ordinary. He was the kind of person who could be easily found in a sea of people.
He descended and strode towards the stairs.
The fat man and the ordinary young man climbed the stairs very quickly. They took one step at a time. Soon, they had reached the 11th step. However, they did not stop. They continued to climb up step by step.
Seventeen steps, eighteen steps, nineteen steps.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Where did these two geniuses come from? They were too terrifying. They had reached the 19th step in one go and were on par with Jiang Taixu.
"Nestle, this place is really uncomfortable. It hurts. No, I have to eat more meat to replenish my energy!"
The fat man shouted and gnawed on the lamb leg in his hand. Then, under everyone's gaze, he stepped onto the 20th step.
The ordinary young man also stepped onto the 20th step.
Shocking, shocking!
Countless people were dumbfounded and tongue-tied.
What was going on today? Usually, very few people could reach the 20th step, but now, so many people had appeared in one go. Four people had reached the 20th step.
More importantly, all four of them were unfamiliar faces. They were not on the List of Top 1,000 Talents.
"Ah, ah, ah, I can't take it anymore. I want to eat meat to replenish my energy. It hurts too much!"
The fat man yelled as he gnawed on the lamb leg. Surprisingly, he stood firmly on the 20th step.
Lu Ming was speechless.
The others were also speechless.
Some people were even more indignant. It was too unfair that the fat man could reach the 20th step.
"That young man seems to be the rising talent of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. He's called King Corpse!"
