Four thousand steps.
Five thousand steps!
Six thousand steps!
…
Lin Feng looked haggard. He had used up a lot of energy.
His face was pale, and his body was trembling. He had used up far more energy than he could recover. His body was gradually weakening, but it wasn't true weakness. Instead, it was the weakness of his soul. Even though his soul was constantly being strengthened, the constant consumption of energy was tiring.
"Step!" "Step!" With every step he took, Lin Feng felt a heavy burden.
He gritted his teeth and held on with his willpower. The mysterious energy was constantly strengthening his body and soul. However, it was just a drop in the bucket for him. He had already surpassed six thousand steps. It was completely different from the first three thousand steps.
The amount of energy he used was more than ten times greater!
Huff! Huff! Huff! Lin Feng's panting echoed in this sealed space. His expression was getting uglier and uglier.
At this moment, he was still a short distance away from seven thousand steps. However …
He was almost at his limit.
…
King Yama North's palace.
In the spacious hall stood a 'human' man. He had golden eyes and a head of white hair. It was King Yama North! Standing in his area, King Yama North looked at the wave-like screen in front of him. It was displaying Lin Feng's condition.
Beads of sweat dripped from Lin Feng's body. His face was a little distorted.
His veins were bulging, and his blood vessels were expanding.
"Should we stop?" King Yama North asked slowly. His voice was gentle, but there was a questioning tone in it.
"No." His short and forceful answer resounded in the hall. His voice was low and carried an extremely strong prestige, making it impossible for anyone to question him.
"However, if this continues, it will only harm him. If there are any side effects …" King Yama North frowned and said in a low voice, "Wasting the energy of the Path to Heaven is a small matter. Losing a talent is a big matter. King Yama, please reconsider."
King Yama!
What a shocking name.
He was one of the three emperors of Heavenly Spirit Realm. He was the true ruler of Yama Imperial City.
However, King Yama North was the only one in the hall. There was no one else. However, the Hades Emperor's voice rang out. "I know what I'm doing." His words left the Northern Hades King speechless. Although he was powerful and powerful, he was still far away from the Hell Emperor.
Although he didn't understand what the Hell Emperor meant, the King of Hell had no choice but to obey.
He frowned as he looked at the screen. At this moment, Lin Feng's state was clear. Was he hiding his strength?
Absolutely impossible!
"There are many Heavenly Spirit Stage experts, but there has never been an expert who has truly walked the 'Path to Heaven'."
"Even the Emperor of Hell only stopped at the 8,700 steps. I heard that the Witch Emperor Jiang had also entered the 'Path to Heaven' and crossed the 9,000 steps. He was at the same level as the strongest warrior in the history of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. However, most warriors couldn't cross the 8,000 steps, not to mention …"
"Lin Feng is just a human with a body of flesh and blood, and an Early Saint King at that."
"Being able to reach the 6,900 levels is already a miracle."
…
The Northern Hades King's heart trembled as he pondered.
Previously, he estimated that Lin Feng would only be around the 5,900 steps. He didn't expect that Lin Feng would cross the 6,000th step in one go. Now, he was close to the 7,000th step. How shocking was that? Many Peak Saint King Stage experts couldn't cross the 6,000th step. Lin Feng had done quite well.
That was why the King of Hell of the North was so fond of talent that he strongly recommended the King of Hell.
The Path to Heaven was a 'path' that all Saint King Stage experts in the Northern City had to pass. Basically, all the experts recognized by the Northern Hades King would be allowed to step on this' Path to Heaven '. The 6,000th step was a threshold. If one could climb the 6,000th step, he would be qualified to sit on the 'City Guard' position.
But the 7,000th step …
He already had the strength to sit on the 'Four Hades King' position.
"His potential is unlimited. Although he is still a distance away from Li Chan, he will definitely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Chan in the future. He might even … surpass him!" The Northern Hades King's eyes were cold. He had a high opinion of Lin Feng. To be able to approach the 7,000th step with the strength of a Beginner Saint King Stage was quite an amazing achievement.
Among the four City Guards, only Li Chan had broken through the 7,000th step.
"But, it's over."
"In his current state, it's impossible for him to cross the 7,000th step. Even if it's just a few dozen steps, it's still a world of difference."
"What does the Hell Emperor mean by doing this?"
The Northern Hades King stared at the light screen, puzzled.
In his heart, he was secretly worried for Lin Feng. He didn't want to lose such a rare talent. However, seeing that Lin Feng was like a withered flower, and his strength was getting weaker and weaker, he was powerless. With the Hell Emperor around, there was no way he could make the decision.
But …
Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed!
Lin Feng's figure flashed, and his aura suddenly changed. Like a gust of wind, he disappeared in front of the Northern Hades King. Moving like a shadow, he was extremely fast. His rapid footsteps changed as if he had returned to the time when he had just stepped onto the 'Path to Heaven'. His face was relaxed, and he didn't look tired at all.
What's wrong?
What just happened?!
The Northern Hades King was a little stunned. He looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes and exclaimed softly.
"His aura changed?" The Northern Hades King was surprised.
"It's not just a clone. It's a clone from a different natal constellation. How strange!"
He nodded slightly. With the Northern Hades King's strength, he could tell Lin Feng's abnormality with just one glance.
Even with his eyes, he could tell many things. Not to mention, the Path to Heaven was right in front of him. He could clearly sense Lin Feng's aura. His gaze locked onto Lin Feng's every movement and expression. Instantly, the Northern Hades King's expression changed.
"This …"
"It's an independent clone!?"
"The human Lin Feng. What a heaven-defying talent!"
…
The Northern Hades King was shocked.
With his high status, he was naturally very experienced. He had seen many independent clones, but he had never seen one that was even more outstanding than the original body. Lin Feng stepped on the 7,000th step as if it was flat ground. Now, he was charging toward the 8,000th step!
"So he still has this trump card." The Northern Hades King's eyes lit up.
At this moment, he finally understood the Hades King's intention.
…
…
The original body and the clone moved like shadows.
Lin Feng knew where the limits of his original body were. The more his original body could "absorb" and temper, the better. No matter how strong the clone was or how strong it was, the only thing a cultivator cared about was the original body.
Swish! Lin Feng shot out like a sharp arrow.
His speed was very fast.
The pressure of the 7,000th step was indeed very great.
However, the clone had recovered most of its strength. It was like a tiger that had been released from its cage. Naturally, it was invincible. After stepping on the 7,000th step, the clone's energy consumption was not small. It was even more than the original body. After all, whether it was the body or the soul, the clone was only at the peak of the Sage realm. It was not as strong as the original body.
Even so, the clone could absorb a lot of energy, make up for it, and recover a lot with every step.
Just like the original body, the clone's body and soul were slowly improving.
A bit more was a bit more!
…
7,300th step.
7,600th step.
7,900th step.
…
"Ha!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and used all his strength.
It was as if he had passed through a wall. He instantly passed through the 8,000th step. He felt another change. An extremely strong binding force surrounded him, making him unable to move. The pressure was several times stronger than when he was on the 7,000th step. The mysterious energy was also much denser.
"There are still the last 2,000 steps!" Lin Feng thought to himself.
His goal was clear and direct.
Since there was no way out, he would directly climb to the top of the stairs!
He believed that he would be able to decipher the secret here!
However, it was not easy.
Especially now that the original body no longer had the strength to fight, and the clone had climbed from the 7,000th step to the 8,000th step. It had consumed nearly half of its strength. It was useless to continue climbing after resting here. This was because there would be a strong suction force coming from the bottom of the stairs at every moment. It would consume the strength of the body and soul. Stopping to rest was worse than climbing.
At the very least, there was still a small amount of energy to make up for and strengthen the next step.
The faster he climbed, the less energy he would consume.
"It's not that there is no chance."
"Perhaps it would be difficult to pass the 9,000th step with the combined strength of the original body and the clone."
"But the clone has not reached the limit yet!"
… …
His eyes were clear. Lin Feng was calm.
He stepped on the stairs step by step. At this moment, his footsteps were gradually stabilizing.
Closing his eyes, he clearly sensed his surroundings. There was also the existence of the 'Star Source Energy' here. No matter where it was, it could not hide the Star Source Energy. There was a huge difference in the level of power. No matter how strong the energy in the Dou Ling World was, it could not exceed the scope of the 'World'.
And the Star Source Energy was above the World!
"Breakthrough."
"Only by breaking through to the Saint King Realm will I have the chance to cross the 10,000 Zhang Heaven Stairs."
"Otherwise, I will definitely stop at the 9,000th step."
Lin Feng was certain.
His goal was even clearer and clearer.
The clone at the peak of the Saint King Realm was not even comparable to the original body. But once it broke through to the Saint King Realm, not to mention the strengthening of the 'Soul', just the strength of the body was hard to estimate. In his opinion, even if it did not surpass Witch Emperor Jiang, the physique of the Demon Clan commander was at least on par with him.
The physique of the clone was the physique of the Seven Spirits of the Starry Sky Martial Artist!
"There is not much time left." Lin Feng thought.
In an instant, the Star Seal on his forehead lit up, emitting a dense constellation power. The strength of the Ursa Major Constellation was fully displayed. The clone broke through from the peak of the Saint King Realm to the Saint King Realm. The door had actually been opened long ago. In the previous battle, he had clearly comprehended the mystery of the 'Sparrow Kill'. There was only one step left —
Pushing open that door!
"That day, the clone was seriously injured and could not accurately comprehend the mystery."
"But now, it has almost recovered. It is not difficult to comprehend the mystery. The difficult part is … to comprehend it in this extremely short period of time!"
"Let's take a gamble!"
Lin Feng's mind instantly focused.
To him, the pressure was extremely great!
He had to break through, he had to hurry up, he had to climb this 10,000 Zhang Heaven Stairs. The layers of pressure pressing down was also a kind of motivation! Just like a battle of life and death, the more anxious he was, the more he used his strength and the closer he was to the limit. Then —
The chances of breaking through would be greater!
"I will definitely break through." Lin Feng was certain, his expression overflowing.
